Qin Zhenzhen nodded earnestly. “I cannot deceive you, Uncle Chen. Pretending ignorance won’t do me any good.”

Mrs. Chen gently tugged at Chen Youwei’s sleeves, offering her support. “I believe Miss Qin. She has no reason to lie. If she lacked confidence, she wouldn’t have asked for this opportunity to prove herself.”

Encouraged by Mrs. Chen’s words, Chen Youwei made a daring decision. “Alright, I will take you to the governor’s mansion, and I hope you can a.s.sist her.”

Qin Zhenzhen reaffirmed her commitment. “I will carefully examine her condition. If I’m not certain about my ability to help, I won’t proceed with the treatment.”

Chen Youwei guided Qin Zhenzhen to the governmental office, where they needed the governor’s approval to treat Old Lady.

Waiting in the backyard of the governmental office, Qin Zhenzhen prepared herself for the task ahead.

Chen Youwei inquired about Old Lady’s illness from Officer w.a.n.g, who expressed his distress. “Her condition isn’t improving, and it pains me to see my mother suffer every day. I intend to send for someone from the renowned Jiang Family in the capital.’

“But the round trip alone will take at least half a month, and the consultation and other expenses will amount to thousands of liang.”

“Also, I wonder if we can get the Jiang Family here.”

Seeing an opportunity, Chen Youwei took the chance to recommend Qin Zhenzhen to Officer w.a.n.g.

“Officer w.a.n.g, what a fortunate coincidence. I happen to know someone whose niece claims her grandmother is from the prestigious Jiang Family in the capital, and she has inherited their renowned teachings. Perhaps you could have her take a look at Old Lady’s condition first?”

Officer w.a.n.g’s eyes lit up with hope. “Is that true?”

Chen Youwei nodded earnestly. “That’s what she told me. Although I haven’t personally verified it, I don’t believe she would dare to lie about something so significant.”

However, Qin Zhenzhen was well aware of the gravity of this consultation, as it involved the governor’s mother. She knew that any misstep on her part could lead to severe consequences.

That was why Chen Youwei decided to bring her here.

The governor thought so too. Before they met, he believed 60% of what he said.

“Where is she now?”

“I have brought her here.”

Qin Zhenzhen answered Officer w.a.n.g’s questions calmly. “Miss Qin, is your grandma really from the Jiang Family?”

“Yes, I swear on my life that it is true.”

“I heard that women from the Jiang Family are good at food therapy and

cooking, and they only pa.s.s on medical skills to men.”

Qin Zhenzhen explained patiently.

“In truth, to understand the art of combining food and therapy, one must first acquire medical skills. This means that both men and women of the Jiang Family possess profound medical knowledge.”

“Numerous women in the family are incredibly versatile, and my grandmother is no exception. However, due to her vision impairment, she married into the countryside. ”

Qin Zhenzhen felt compelled to provide a comprehensive explanation.

“The reason why a woman from the Jiang Family cannot openly demonstrate her talent in physiotherapy is because societal norms impose certain restrictions on her ident.i.ty.”

In ancient feudal society, strict customs prohibited women from touching the bodies of foreign men.

Officer w.a.n.g was highly impressed by Qin Zhenzhen’s response. He admired her composure, considering her young age and gender, and believed her to be more composed than some older men he knew.

With his mind made up, Officer w.a.n.g declared, “Then, please accompany me back to the mansion, Miss Qin.”

Upon reaching Officer w.a.n.g’s mansion, a strong medicinal scent filled the air. The ancient people employed various methods to treat lumbar disc issues, including the application of numerous medicines, acupuncture, and the consumption of medicinal juices.

Qin Zhenzhen could perceive the pungent aroma of medicines commonly used to counter inflammation and pain. However, she was aware that prolonged use of such potent remedies could pose significant risks to the human body, especially for an elderly person who might not tolerate it well..
