Shao He's medical skills were indeed formidable; in just a mere three days, the Prefect's Wife's condition had begun to improve, her face started to regain color, and her body no longer seemed as weak as before.
The Prefectural Governor sent many things to express his gratitude, but Shao He politely declined.
"There is no need for such gestures, Lord of the Prefecture. Staying in the residence has been troubling enough, and being able to cure your wife, I consider it our shared destiny," she said.
The Prefect was moved to tears and inquired about many details concerning what his wife should pay attention to in the future.
After he left, Shao He couldn't help but sigh, "Men as devoted as this are truly rare."
"Would I be counted as one of them?" Pei Huaian entered on foot, just in time to hear her remark.
"I do not know yet," Shao He shook her head.
Pei Huaian approached her and bent over, saying, "You will know in the future."
