Ruan Jingliu's eyes flickered as she recalled the scene when she went to the Tong Mansion to treat Xiqiu. She thought for a moment and said, "Alright, once I've arranged things in a couple of days, I'll go back with you. But I can't guarantee a cure; we'll need to diagnose the cause of the illness first."
Xiqiu nodded in agreement, replying with a smile, "There's no rush. She's been ill for quite some time now, so there's no hurry at the moment." Ruan Jingliu nodded and was then escorted out of the courtyard by Xiqiu.
Chunyan, standing by, asked, "Madam, do you really intend to open a pharmacy with Nurse Zhang?"
Xiqiu nodded, replying, "I originally wanted to open some sort of shop. It's better to be busy with something than to idle away." Moreover, if it proved profitable in the future, they would be economically independent, which would be the best outcome.
