Li Dalang wanted to stir up trouble, but unfortunately, Zhou Man didn't come around their area much; she only took care of the matters on the woman's side.
Even if he threw a fit, those circling him were still Imperial Doctor Lu and Imperial Doctor Liu, a few old geezers. Moreover, they weren't lenient; they smiled kindly but weren't gentle at all, always using his fever as an excuse to give him bitter medicine and stick him with needles.
Li Dalang was suffering immensely.
The young women separated by two rows of houses were also suffering; they were sobbing quietly. Of course, only the gentle-natured or proud ones were sobbing softly; the more extroverted ones were outright wailing.
Upon hearing the crying, Manbao came over and asked puzzledly, "What's going on with them?" Haven't they all recovered?
Liu Sanniang said, "Master, the young ladies feel that the pockmarks on their hands are unsightly."
