Chapter 114 – The Yuan Family Couple’s Gift of Thanks

“The grace of saving a life is greater than a life, Miss Wei can afford it.” Yuan Zhengqin said.

Mrs. Yuan smiled and said, “Miss Wei doesn’t need to be nervous, if you don’t accept this gift from my husband, my husband won’t be able to get over it in his heart.”

Wei Ruo couldn’t say anything else.

Immediately after that, Mrs. Yuan asked the nurse to bring over a half year old child.

The white and chubby little face with a pair of big round eyes was full of curiosity as he looked at Wei Ruo.

He couldn’t speak, but he wasn’t afraid of life at all, grinning at Wei Ruo.

“Brother Sheng’er is recognizing his rescuer, smiling when he sees him.” Mrs. Yuan laughed.

Immediately afterward, she let Wei Ruo hold the child, “His name is Fusheng, and it is all thanks to your good fortune that he was born.”

Wei Ruo took the child in his arms, the little one smiled one after another, the two little hands also danced cheerfully, as if really remember Wei Ruo very happy to see Wei Ruo again generally.

Wei Ruo was infected by Sheng’s laughter and couldn’t help but show a happy face.

After teasing Sheng’er for a while, Wei Ruo returned the child to Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan asked the nurse to carry the child back to breastfeed.

Looking at Mrs. Yuan, Wei Ruo took the initiative, “If you don’t mind, ma’am, let me take your pulse.”

Mrs. Yuan looked surprised.

“I heard that the Lady had some weakness after giving birth that day.” Wei Ruo said.

Upon hearing this, Lord Yuan, who was on the side, hurriedly said, “Yes, my wife always has cold sweats at night, can’t touch anything cold, and is prone to weakness, headaches, and backaches. I’ve had a lot of doctors and medicines in the past six months, but it doesn’t get better.”

If it’s Ms. Wei, there might be a way to improve the wife’s situation!

Lord Yuan’s expression was earnest, full of concern for Lady Yuan’s physical condition, and the fact that he was able to accurately name Lady Yuan’s current symptoms showed that his concern for Lady Yuan was not false.

“I’ll take Madam’s pulse first.” Wei Ruo sat beside Madam Yuan and placed her hand on her wrist to take her pulse.

Lord Yuan and Lady Yuan held their breath, not daring to make the slightest sound to disturb Wei Ruo.

After a while, Wei Ruo withdrew his hand and said, “I will write a prescription for the lady in a while, there are a few medicines on the prescription that are more precious, if I can find all of them, I will decoct them in accordance with the method of decocting one bowl of eight bowls of water for the lady to take, and I will make a post before bedtime every day, and take it for one month consecutively for the first time.”

“Good! Miss Wei can write as much as you want, no matter what rare herbs it is, I will try my best to find them!” Yuan Zhengqin promised.

Wei Ruo wrote down the prescription and handed it to Yuan Zhengqin.

Yuan Zhengqin carefully received the prescription, first bid farewell to Wei Ruo, and then took the prescription with him to his study, ready to transcribe a copy and then immediately arrange for someone to procure the herbs needed on the prescription.

After Yuan Zhengqin left, Mrs. Yuan said, “Miss Wei I really don’t know how to thank you, not only did you save my life and Sheng’er’s life, but now you are also toning up my body.”

“There’s no need to be polite, Mrs. Yuan, not to mention the fact that you’ve helped me out these past two days.” Wei Ruo said.

“That was just a show of hands.” Mrs. Yuan didn’t consider a small thing like yesterday to be any kind of repayment.

Wei Ruo shook her head, “What is a show of hands in the case of the Lady is a great help to me.”

Mrs. Yuan laughed, “I don’t care, I have prepared another gift for you, you must accept it.”

Wei Ruo looked curiously at Mrs. Yuan, who took a box out and opened it, inside was a field deed and a house deed.

“This is the field and house deed for a manor of a thousand acres of good land outside of Taizhou Province.”

The fields in Taizhou Prefecture can be quite expensive than those in Xingshan County, and this thousand mu of good land in Taizhou Prefecture will cost a few thousand taels of silver, or even more.

Moreover, Taizhou Prefecture has a lot of powerful people and little good land, and sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy good land.

Mrs. Yuan explained, “I also know that these things are a bit vulgar, but I can’t think of any good ideas at this moment. Still, my husband reminded me that you teach people to clear land for farming in Xingshan County, so you must be quite knowledgeable in this area, so why don’t I give you some good land, so that I can leave it to you for the evening, but also let you play a role in it.”

Last night, for today’s gift delivery, Mrs. Yuan and Lord Yuan also discussed for a while.

Saving a life is never something that passes with a thank you on the lips.

Even if Wei Ruo directly walked away at that time without the intention of asking for any payment, they were favored by this, inevitably can’t be when things are so past.

But if you’re expressing gratitude, you have to come up with a proper way to do it, and the gift you give has to be appropriate.

Because Wei Ruo also do not want others to know that she will be a medical thing, the Yuan family is not good to send a bunch of gold and silver utensils to the Wei family in a dignified manner, have to send some Wei Ruo good to carry a good private storage.

Therefore, the idea of giving away property and real estate came to mind.

It must be said that this gift from Lord Yuan and Lady Yuan was delivered to Wei Ruo’s heart.

Wei Ruo didn’t be overly polite with Mrs. Yuan, but directly showed her liking, “I really like this gift from madam.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Yuan was also very happy: “It’s best if you like it. In a moment, I’ll let someone go to the government to register you and put these fields under your name. Don’t worry, I’ll do this quietly and won’t let anyone outside know.”

Mrs. Yuan knew that since Wei Ruo wanted to hide the fact that she knew medicine from the Wei family, she would certainly not want the property under her name to be known to the rest of the Wei family.

“Many thanks, ma’am!” Wei Ruo was truly grateful.

“Say what thank you, this is supposed to be used by my husband and wife to thank you, how to thank us.”

“I still have to thank you ma’am for thinking so much about me and saving me from many troubles.” Wei Ruo said.

Mrs. Yuan tenderly said, “This is what I should do, you were also considerate when you saved me that day, and when I was in pain and despair, your voice rang out like heavenly music, pulling me out of the ghost gate.”

Wei Ruo smiled.

Immediately after that, Mrs. Yuan pulled Wei Ruo into a casual conversation, “I won’t hide it from you, in fact, for this garden party, I specially invited the Wei family, who is far away in Xingshan County, originally to meet you.”

“Is it because of the matter of opening up land in the south of Xingshan County?” Wei Ruo asked.

Mrs. Yuan nodded, “That’s right, I don’t know if you know, but this year, it’s not just Xingshan County that has a poor grain harvest, the entire Taizhou Prefecture has the same problem.”

The entire Taizhou Prefecture was in arrears with its grain harvest, which was a major headache for Yuan Zhengqin, who was the governor.

“Well, I’ve heard about some of it.” Wei Ruo had heard about it long ago.

“Before I knew you were the benefactor who saved my life, I wanted to meet you and ask for your opinion on increasing the grain production of Taizhou Prefecture, so I specifically invited the Wei family to the garden party.” Mrs. Yuan indicated the reason.

Because Wei Mingting was a military official and Yuan Zhengqin was a civil official, although his rank was higher than Wei Mingting’s, he could not summon Wei Mingting directly, so Mrs. Yuan took the opportunity of the garden party to send an invitation to the school captain’s residence.
