Chapter 50 -50: How Come It’s a Disability?
Chu Nanli changed back into women’s clothes, then instructed, “If Chu Yi comes later with others looking for me, let them wait here for a moment, I’ll take a walk around to find a doctor for you.”
“A doctor?” Xinlian was startled, seeing Chu Nanli about to leave, she exchanged a glance with Xiangyang and quickly said, “Master, the injuries on this subordinate have all healed; the ointment you provided earlier was extremely effective.”
Chu Nanli waved her hand, explaining, “I mean to find a doctor specifically for our Bright Moon Building, so if any of you have ailments like headaches or fevers in the future, you can directly seek this doctor. He’s also on Apricot Blossom Street, quite close by which makes it convenient.”

Hearing this, Xinlian was visibly touched, her mind becoming more lively, “Master, I know a few sisters who, due to family changes, have been sold to the brothel as singing and dancing girls. I wish to bring them to our Bright Moon Building, what are your thoughts on this?”
Chu Nanli’s eyes brightened.
Since they were once ladies of the Official Family, their demeanor would certainly stand out from the average brothel girls.
Right away, Chu Nanli saw no reason not to agree.
“Of course, you make the arrangements. However, one thing, their character must not be poor.”
Xinlian’s face lit up with joy as she hastily said, “Thank you, Master, I will ensure they are suitable.”
Chu Nanli nodded, then turned and left the Bright Moon Building.
She remembered that the Doctor Wen whose clinic she had encountered before was on Apricot Blossom Street.
Chu Nanli casually asked a passing old lady, “Granny, is there a doctor nearby called Doctor Wen?”
The old lady, initially wary at the sight of a stranger, warmed up instantly upon hearing it was about Doctor Wen and said, “Yes, Doctor Wen is a well-known old doctor around here, with a very kind heart.” After praising him, she then remembered Chu Nanli’s question, “Young girl, are you looking for Doctor Wen?”
Chu Nanli smiled, “Yes. I’ve met Doctor Wen before, and he mentioned that I could visit him on Apricot Blossom Street whenever I had the time.”
Hearing this, the old lady immediately understood.
“You don’t know the way, do you?”
Chu Nanli nodded and smiled sheepishly, “I’d be grateful if you could kindly point me in the right direction.”
The old lady was very helpful, not only giving directions but also personally led Chu Nanli through two shortcuts, “There are many alleys around here, twisting and turning. It’s easy to take a wrong turn. If you get lost, it can take quite some effort to find your way back. Just continue straight from here for about a hundred meters, and you’ll be there.”
Chu Nanli thanked her, and soon enough, she saw Doctor Wen’s clinic.
The clinic was a bit worn, with a signboard hanging over the front gate that read “Wen Family Clinic.”
Seeing that the gate was open and there were quite a few people inside, presumably patients, she walked in as well.
Just as she entered, she heard people talking, “Did Doctor Wen just take in a new attendant? Why is the child disabled?”
Chu Nanli looked instinctively in the direction they were gazing, and saw someone sitting in a wheelchair.
The person was facing away from them, so she couldn’t see their face, but she could tell they were young and currently occupied with drying herbs in silence.
“You don’t know? This young girl showed up early in the morning the day before yesterday at the entrance of Doctor Wen’s clinic. Her legs were twisted out of shape, and she was crawling on the ground. As soon as Doctor Wen opened the door, she prostrated herself several times, begging him to save her.”
“I know about that. It seemed like Doctor Wen recognized her; he asked, ‘Is it you?’ Hesitated for a moment, but when the young girl clung to his trouser leg, Doctor Wen finally brought her inside. In the past two days, not only has he been teaching her to recognize herbs, but he’s also been teaching her the ‘Three Character Classic’, treating her as if she were his own child.”
A flicker crossed Chu Nanli’s eyes.
She had a guess about who it might be.
When the young girl turned around, Chu Nanli saw her face.
Indeed, it was that girl who had been bought by Wang Xi previously.
Doctor Wen was too kind-hearted, not only saving her but also taking her in, hoping to teach her to be a good person.
She admired such people but knew she could not become one.
“Luo Yu, is there any more Kudzu Root?” Doctor Wen called out as he emerged from a room.
Luo Yu maneuvered the wheelchair around and tersely replied, “Yes.”
“Bring some to me.”
“All right.”
Seeing this, Chu Nanli hurried over, “Doctor Wen.”
Her voice, clear and melodious, caused everyone in the courtyard to look in her direction.
Luo Yu’s expression subtly changed, then she bowed her head, continuing to fill a dustpan with herbs as if nothing was amiss.
Doctor Wen also recognized Chu Nanli, his face lighting up with joy.
Chu Nanli said, “Doctor Wen, let’s talk inside.”
Once inside, Chu Nanli got straight to the point, mentioning that a “friend’s brothel needed a doctor.”
Doctor Wen readily agreed to her request and told her that “patients are equal regardless of their social status,” and as long as they did no evil, he would treat them.
Chu Nanli thanked him, discreetly left behind a few silver notes, and then returned to the Bright Moon Building.
Chu Yi and Yanyan were there.
“Master, I was unable to procure all the medicinal ingredients on your list,” Chu Yi said apologetically.
Chu Nanli said, “Some medicinal ingredients are rather precious and may require extra effort to find. Don’t take it to heart that you couldn’t acquire them this time. Pay more attention in the future.”
Chu Yi affirmed, “Yes.”
Chu Nanli continued, “When I came earlier, I bought some pastries and maltose for you all; I’ve placed them in the upper rooms. Make sure to eat them. Also, I’ve settled the doctor’s matter; remember the name Wen Family Clinic.”
Xinlian was moved and surprised again, expressing her thanks for the doctor again, before asking, “Master, did you specifically bring pastries for us?”
“I didn’t go out of my way, I just happened to see them and bought them on impulse.”
After saying this, Chu Nanli took Yanyan to change clothes before leaving.
Xinlian and the two others watched her walk away until her figure disappeared from their sight, then silently withdrew their gazes.
“The master is truly kind,” Xinlian said.
Unbeknownst to the others, she had felt an urge to cry just then.
It had been so long since she felt cared for by someone.
“Mhm,” Xiangyang replied, often silent but speaking with a firm expression, his attitude said it all.
Chu Yi, however, paused before saying, “The master has had a harder time at the Prince Residence than we imagined. We must speed up our efforts to complete the tasks she’s given us.”
At those words, both Xinlian and Xiangyang were startled. Seeing that Chu Yi wasn’t inclined to elaborate, they didn’t pry, but a sense of urgency weighed heavier in their hearts.
