The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

I always feel it's not safe to carry these banknotes with me. Wouldn't it be safer if I put them in my own space?

Thinking of this, she made an excuse that she needed to go to the bathroom and silently recited the spell to open the space.

In an instant, the space portal opened silently. At the same time, a system prompt sounded softly in his ears: "Congratulations host, you saved a life yesterday, and your good deeds have accumulated. Your points have increased by thirty."

Chen Xi carefully placed the banknotes in the space, then strolled around in the space, looking at the vegetable garden that Hua Hua had carefully tended and the fruit trees that were laden with fruits. He couldn't help but secretly admire that this little guy was really a responsible little chef.

"Master, you finally came to see us! Come and see if the home I manage has become more beautiful again?"

Huahua's clear and sweet voice sounded, with a bit of pride and anticipation.

Chen Xi smiled and responded: "I have been busy recently and have not been able to come here often, but you have done an excellent job. Keep it up. As soon as I have free time, I will come here to accompany you first."

During the day, he is busy seeing patients and prescribing medicine, climbing mountains and crossing rivers to search for precious medicinal materials, and at night he spends time with Xie Tianyi. Although such a life is fulfilling, it is also tight, so he can only sneak into this small world that belongs to him during the short breaks in the day.

"Huahua, this is the silver note I earned from selling herbs today. I always feel unsafe holding it in my hand. After all, the world is not peaceful, so I plan to put it in the space. Can you help me take good care of it? I have to get out quickly."

Before she finished her words, she turned around quickly, and before Huahua could react, her figure flashed and disappeared into the void.

There were faint sounds of chaotic footsteps outside the space, as if someone was walking towards this side.

Walking out of the crude toilet, Chen Xi happened to pass by a middle-aged man who looked hurried. Judging from his impatient look, he was obviously in a desperate need to relieve himself.

When the man saw Chen Xi appear, he almost rushed in. His relieved expression made Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Returning to the clinic, Chen Xi returned to her seat. The air was filled with a faint scent of medicine. She picked up a yellowed medical book and began to study it with full concentration.

The original owner never had the opportunity to learn during his lifetime and could not read a single word, but Chen Xi possessed a profound academic background.

In this place where no one knew anything about her past, she could finally display her talents without any scruples, no longer having to hide from the eyes of the world.

Just as Chen Xi was immersed in the ocean of ancient medical knowledge, a gentle breath interrupted her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw that it was the mother who had asked her for help yesterday who came to visit again with her son.

She closed the book gently, her eyes falling tenderly on the child.

She asked the middle-aged woman with concern: "After the medicine I gave the child last night, did he have a bowel movement smoothly?"

When the woman heard this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly held Chen Xi's hand tightly and spoke quickly, full of gratitude: "You are right! Not long after the child drank the medicine soup, he was relieved and his body temperature dropped. In the afternoon, he regained his energy and played with other children in the yard for an afternoon."

Chen Xi had already made up his mind about this change, it just took time to prove everything and win their trust.

"Even though the child's condition has improved, we should not take it lightly. The spleen and stomach need to be adjusted step by step. I noticed that the child's tongue coating is white and thick, indicating that his spleen and stomach function is relatively weak. In order to avoid recurrence of the disease, he needs to continue to take spleen-strengthening medicine for conditioning after recovery. Special attention should also be paid to diet, mainly easy-to-digest liquid food, and avoid hard or difficult-to-digest food that causes food stagnation again."

The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly. "Thanks to me for not listening to others yesterday. I almost thought the child was possessed by evil spirits. Your medical skills are really superb. From now on, no matter if there is any headache or fever in the family, whether it is adults or children, I will definitely come to you first."

Chen Xi responded with a smile, his eyes flashing with the benevolence and responsibility of a doctor: "Doctors take saving lives as their responsibility and treat patients as their own children. I just did what I should do. I hope you can learn from this experience that when facing a problem, you should consider it comprehensively and not believe in rumors. This is the real wisdom."

The woman nodded her head repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face as she realized her own prejudice.

"I was indeed blinded by my impatience yesterday. Seeing the child's condition, I was so anxious that I lost my temper with my words. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."

After she finished speaking, she bent down deeply.

Seeing this, Chen Xi quickly stood up, stretched out his hands and gently held the woman's arms.

"It's okay. I can totally understand your anxiety. Children are always the apple of their parents' eyes. Remember what I told you. Your child will be stronger and stronger in the future."

Tears of gratitude welled up in the woman's eyes. She nodded heavily again, then slowly turned and left.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and Chen Xi also gathered his thoughts and prepared to go home.

After all, today is not a fixed day for consultation, and there are no time constraints to follow, so the journey home seems particularly comfortable and relaxing.

As she walked out of the clinic, she suddenly remembered the several sets of clothes she had ordered at the well-known tailor shop in the east of the city a few days ago. She estimated that they should have been completed by then, and decided to take a detour to check. If the finished products were ready, she could take them home.

As soon as he stepped into the tailor shop, the shopkeeper quickly caught sight of Chen Xi's figure, a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face, and he came forward enthusiastically.

It was rare to find a customer as generous as Chen Xi who ordered several taels of silver worth of clothing at one time, which naturally made the shopkeeper happy and he provided more meticulous service.

Chen Xi got straight to the point, his words were clear and concise: "Shopkeeper, have the clothes I ordered been completed? I thought of bringing them back today."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyebrows curved into crescent shapes. He responded repeatedly while turning and walking into the inner room. In a moment, he returned to the front desk carrying a package carefully wrapped in fine cotton cloth.

After taking the heavy package and exchanging a few words with each other, Chen Xi said goodbye and left, walking briskly on the path leading home.

At home, the laughter in the courtyard was crisp and pleasant. Chen Rong, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, three little guys, were having a lot of fun.

When the children saw her, they cheered and rushed towards her like birds returning to their nests.

Chen Xi smiled and raised the package in his hand, with a cunning light in his eyes, "Guess what surprise I brought back for you?"

The little guys immediately jumped up and down with excitement, their minds full of images of candies and toys, and they surrounded Chen Xi.

Only Chen Rong, looking a little calm, stood aside with a gentle smile on his face, watching his two younger brothers and sisters playing with a doting look, while maintaining a maturity that did not match his age.
