Ye Ling was startled and quickly reached out to support the other person, narrowly avoiding both of them falling.

Wan Xue looked at the young female scholar leaning on Ye Ling with concern and asked, “What happened? Is she alright?”

Explaining this was somewhat complicated. Ye Ling was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. By observing the person’s complexion, she could make a rough guess about his physical condition. Moreover, Ye Ling was also a woman. When she saw the young female scholar clutching her stomach while going upstairs, she realized that she might be experiencing her menstrual period.

The slender young female scholar leaned against Ye Ling. After a moment of consideration, Ye Ling said simply, “She doesn’t have any major issues, but we can’t just leave her here. Let’s help her to my room.”

Wan Xue nodded, and the two of them assisted the unconscious young female scholar upstairs.

Upon opening the dormitory door, Ye Ling took out silver needles and said to Wan Xue, “Wan Xue, could you step out for a moment? I want to take off her clothes.”

“Sure.”

After Wan Xue left, Ye Ling unfastened the clothing of the thin young female scholar and used silver needles to stimulate a few key acupuncture points.

By taking her pulse, Ye Ling determined that the young female scholar didn’t have any major issues with her body. However, she lacked vitality and had a cold constitution. She might have caught a cold earlier, resulting in symptoms of a cold in the uterus, which was also the primary cause of her menstrual cramps.

After the acupuncture session, Ye Ling helped the young female scholar put her clothes back on. Seeing that she was still asleep, Ye Ling took out a piece of paper and jotted down a few lines before placing it on the bedside table.

Wan Xue was waiting at the door. When she saw Ye Ling close the door and prepare to go downstairs, he hesitated, “Sister Lingling, how is she?” “It’s nothing serious. She should wake up by the afternoon.”

Wan Xue, who was following Ye Ling, said uneasily, “Aren’t you worried she might take your belongings?”

Ye Ling smiled and said, “There’s nothing valuable in my dormitory, and… she seems to be from a wealthy family.”

Although the young female scholar who had just fainted was not dressed extravagantly, Ye Ling saw that she was wearing a watch with a genuine leather strap on her wrist. In this era, anyone who could afford to wear such a watch must have a good family background.

Ye Ling and Wan Xue left shortly after. Not long after their departure, the young female scholar who had been sleeping on Ye Ling’s bed woke up.

Yu Huan sat up, feeling something slip off her body. She looked down and saw a piece of clothing, appeared to be a girl’s outfit.

Yu Huan quickly realized that she was in someone else’s dormitory. She recalled fainting while going upstairs and couldn’t remember anything after that.

At the time, her stomach had been hurting badly, and she urgently climbed upstairs to her dormitory to rest. She hadn’t noticed who had helped her up. Could it have been the person who brought her here?

Yu Huan looked around the dormitory room.

The room was very simply furnished, with not much in it. Yu Huan soon noticed a note placed on the table.

She picked up the note, which read, “I’m Ye Ling. I saw you faint, so I brought you to my dormitory. I need to go out. If you wake up, please help me lock the door on your way out. Thank you.”

Yu Huan put the note away, her expression thoughtful.

Ye Ling… She had heard other young female scholars talking about this person last night, saying negative things about her. It sounded like Ye Ling was a very unconventional woman.

Yu Huan didn’t pay much attention to others’ affairs, so she didn’t know who Ye Ling was.

However, no matter what kind of person Ye Ling was, she couldn’t just pretend nothing had happened after Ye Ling’s help today.

Yu Huan planned to find an opportunity to treat Ye Ling to a meal or buy her something as a gesture of gratitude.

After lying on the bed for a while, Yu Huan got up to leave. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she sensed something unusual.

Why wasn’t her stomach hurting as much? She only felt a slight bloating sensation.

Yu Huan also felt that her body was much more relaxed than before, and her energy had improved significantly.

She had felt completely drained earlier, but now, her strength seemed to have returned.

Yu Huan couldn’t believe that such a miraculous change could happen after a nap after fainting. Could it be that Ye Ling had done something to her?

Ye Ling and Wan Xue retraced their steps. As the sun slowly rose, Ye Ling’s nose turned slightly red from the heat.

As the two walked, a black, slender woman in her fifties suddenly approached. Ye Ling noticed that she was carrying a bag of feed.

Just as Ye Ling was observing the bag, it suddenly moved, as if something inside was squirming. Startled, Ye Ling let out a short exclamation..
