Chapter 108: I, Jiang Wan, Never Make Empty Promises

dered breakfast, gave Song Chen a headache of disgust. But for the sake of survival, he would eat it."It's none of your business!"Song Chen had a cold face and seemed fine. Jiang Wan remembered yeste...Ginger pulled open the curtain and saw Dr. Jiang's eyes flutter open in confusion. Dr. Quan, with drool dripping from his mouth, was explaining frantically:

"Lao Jiang, I know you want to help everyone, but you also have to take care of your own body. òй.

Fortunately, thanks to Dr. Ginger, you managed to pull through!

Dr. Jiang opened his mouth to speak, but his throat felt like it had been scraped by a knife. "I…"

"Master, please don't speak first."

Jiang Hao kindly stopped Jiang Da from speaking and explained, "I know what you want to ask."

"It was indeed Dr. Ginger who saved you, and she said she has already found a way to cure scarlet fever. You'll be fine."

"Really... really"

Dr. Jiang’s eyes widened in excitement, he nearly fell off the bed, staring unblinkingly at Ginger as she walked over.

Although this man has a bad temper, he is indeed a doctor who cares for the people. So Jiang Wan was too lazy to argue with him and simply said:

"If you feel better in two to three days, it means my method has worked."

"Don't you need to take medicine"

Jiang Hao didn't distrust Jiang Wan, he was just a little curious. Hearing this, Jiang Wan smiled.

"Just drink some of the lotus root soup I had prepared. Keep an eye on your master."

"Doctor Ginger, please rest assured, Master has entrusted this to me."

Jiang Hao readily agreed. Taking care of his master was his duty as a disciple.

"Pan Hongyan, come here first."

Jian Wan waved to Pan Hongyan, and the big man obediently walked over.

"Doctor Ginger."

"Expose your arm, and I'll give you the smallpox inoculation so that you won't contract smallpox."

Ginger's single sentence not only shocked Pan Hongyan, but also shocked everyone else in the room!

"Doctor Ginger, are you saying your method can completely prevent smallpox!"

Doctor Quan suddenly stood up. Although he had always trusted Ginger Wan, he didn't expect her to be so capable.

"Yes."

Ginger confidently faced the gazes of questioning or surprise from others in the room and smiled.

"That's how I predict it, you can observe it yourself."

As she spoke, she used a sterilized dagger to carve a small cross-shaped wound on Pan Hongyan's arm.

Then, the needle dipped in pus was inserted again. After a few breaths, she put a piece of gauze on Pan Hongyan's wound.

In front of everyone, Jiang Wan could only perform such a simple operation for vaccinating against smallpox, without taking out a syringe.

"Now you have sorted all the sick people outside into categories, separating the severe cases from the mild ones."

Also, have the guards stationed outside be moved to a separate courtyard. I'll have them vaccinated there individually.

Ginger needed to get Pan Hongyan vaccinated first so that he wouldn't get infected with smallpox.

Pan Hongyan nodded vigorously, "Doctor Jiang, rest assured, I'll go do it right away."

He ran away, and only then did Jiang Wan look at the stunned people in the house.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just following the instructions from my master's notes."

"Master Jiang, who was your teacher"

Dr. Quan ran over excitedly and, looking at the pus-filled sores on his face, Ginger could only twitch her mouth in speechless dismay.

"I think I'd better give you the smallpox inoculation first."

Otherwise, this fellow will soon meet the same fate as Dr. Jiang.

"No rush, I'm just curious about who taught Dr. Ginger such high skills"

Dr. Quan looked at her with pleading eyes, leaving Ginger quite helpless. As she operated to administer the injection, she mumbled,

My master enjoys traveling and forbids me from publicizing his name, so I can't say.

"Got it, got it. Many accomplished people prefer to keep a low profile."

Dr. Quan gave a knowing look and solved Jiang Wan's troubles through imagination.

Well, no explanation needed!

Sometimes the imperial physician is quite knowledgeable, and perhaps because of him, several doctors outside have heard that ginger poultice can cure smallpox.

Thus, when Ginger Wan went out, she was met with a particularly complicated gaze from everyone.

There were astonishment, surprise, disbelief, and suspicion, but Jiang Wan accepted them all calmly.

"Doctor Ginger, can you really completely solve smallpox"

"We're saved, right"

"Can we still live to get out"

"......"

Outpatients watched gingerly with hopeful eyes, their gazes filled with pain. Even someone as cold and aloof as Gingerly felt a twinge of sympathy for the first time.

"Doctor Jiang, please don't exaggerate. Don't give them hope only to disappoint them later."

A fellow physician, roughly the same age as Dr. Jiang, whispered a reminder to Ginger.

It seems he still doesn't quite believe Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan isn't angry. She just smiles.

"I, Ginger Wan, never make empty promises. What I say I can do, I will do."

One sentence completely shut the other person up, while Jiang Wan calmly continued to vaccinate everyone against smallpox.

Song Jiubian shielded the marks on his face and slowly pushed the wheelchair out.

"I'll help you."

"No need, you can just rest here."

Ginger turned her head and glanced at him, continuing what she was doing. At this moment, Pan Hongyan ran in, his expression awkward and hesitant to speak.

"Doctor Ginger."

"What's wrong"

Ginger continued her actions without looking up, sensing Pan Hongyan's hesitation. She understood:

"The guards outside won't come in, will they"

"Yes."

Pan Hongyan grabbed a handful of hair, "They're worried about getting infected with smallpox from contact with you."

There was some risk of infection outside, but once inside, most people would get infected.

Quan, the doctor, was filled with righteous indignation. "Doctor Jiang is doing this for their own good, and they don't even appreciate it"

They... didn't quite believe it.

What Pan Hongyan didn't say was that he asked Jiang Wan to come to the door to vaccinate them, but she also refused.

The current situation is that they refuse to come in and they won't let them go out.

"It's fine, you go ahead and busy yourself. They will come in when they have symptoms."

Ginger didn't force it, those people who had come into contact with their patients would eventually come in too.

When a few more come in, and with the people inside recovering, they will come in.

Then, Doctor Ginger, you'll have to take responsibility for your actions!

The doctor was very angry, angrier even than Ginger herself, which left her both amused and bewildered.

She didn't even bother to eat breakfast that morning, but instead she vaccinated everyone against smallpox.

By the time she was done, her stomach was rumbling with hunger. Song Jiu Yuan had breakfast in his hands.

"Ginger, come eat something."

He wore a gloomy expression, seemingly very unhappy. Jiang Wan felt somewhat puzzled; she didn't seem to have done anything to upset him

"What's wrong"

Ginger skillfully took the breakfast and started eating. The food tasted alright, and her rumbling stomach finally calmed down a bit.

"I'm fine, hurry up and eat."

Looking at her carefree appearance, Song Jiubian silently sighed. In the end, it was himself who got upset by arguing with her.

She didn't remember eating, so he reminded her afterward.

"Oh."

Song Jiubian was unwilling to say, and Jiang Wan would not force him. She wouldn't make herself unhappy either, she just pretended not to see it.

Just as I finished my meal, I saw two young boys enter the courtyard from the gate. They were wearing the clothes of the county government, so they must have been guards from outside.e, and under her sleeve, her other hand tightly gripped a handful of medicinal powder.But soon she relaxed, for she saw the familiar figure of Steward Lin, it seemed that Lin Tingyu and the others had...
