If only the hot spring at the Regent’s residence could be used, the Zhao family would recover much faster.

But that was just wishful thinking—it was impossible.

She had no desire to see that Regent ever again.

After finalizing the treatment plan, Lin Yuxin had dinner, dismissed the servants, and returned to her room.

She went straight into her personal space to start preparing medicine.

She tailored each prescription individually—every person’s medicine was different, with varying dosages. Some even required multiple sets of medicine used together.

By the time Lin Yuxin finished, it was nearly dawn.

She thought for a moment and decided to prepare medicine for her mother and second brother as well. Her eldest and third brothers would have to wait until they were free for her to treat them.

Since she was doing this, she might as well do it thoroughly—the whole family would undergo a collective health restoration!

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Yuxin went straight to her mother’s courtyard.

“Mother, this is the medicine I prescribed for you. Drink it for three days, then switch to medicinal baths.”

Lin Yuxin placed a packet of medicine on the table.

“I have to take medicine? But I’m perfectly healthy! I don’t need it, do I?”

Zhao Hanya was taken aback. Why was her daughter suddenly giving her medicine?

“Mother, since I’m helping Grandfather and the others recover, I can’t leave out you and my three brothers. Treating one person is treatment, treating two is also treatment. Besides, Mother, your health is not as good as you think.”

Lin Yuxin looked at Zhao Hanya with a knowing expression.

Zhao Hanya immediately sensed that something was off. She looked at her daughter seriously.

“What do you mean?”

“You gave birth to four children, which already weakened your body. On top of that, you haven’t been paying attention to your health all these years, so your body has some serious underlying issues. Right now, they haven’t surfaced, but once they do, it will be much harder to treat.”

Lin Yuxin patiently explained.

Zhao Hanya: … She thought it was something serious, like being poisoned by Lin Xiongan’s people. But this? Which woman doesn’t suffer physically from childbirth?

“Fine, I’ll take it!”

In the end, Zhao Hanya reluctantly agreed.

“Alright. When Second Brother arrives, give him this medicine to drink first. I’m heading to Grandfather’s house now.”

Lin Yuxin placed another packet of medicine on the table and then walked out.

“This girl…”

Zhao Hanya chuckled as she watched Lin Yuxin leave.

For the next few days, Lin Yuxin visited the General’s residence daily, only returning in the evening.

After five days of treatment, the nerves in Zhao Yingfeng’s legs had begun to show signs of recovery. Plus, after being forced to eat nourishing food every day, he had gained some weight.

Today was the day Lin Yuxin would perform surgery on Zhao Yingfeng.

Everyone in the General’s residence waited outside—even her second brother was present.

Lin Yuxin took out the surgical tools she had commissioned days ago.

She used silver needles to anesthetize Zhao Yingfeng, disinfected the area with alcohol she had extracted, and then began the surgery.

Looking at Zhao Yingfeng, who had passed out, Lin Yuxin’s expression turned solemn. She picked up a scalpel and began the operation.

After two intense hours, the surgery was finally complete.

Since she had no assistant, she had to do everything herself, which slowed her down significantly. However, she had successfully completed her first surgery in this world.

Exhausted, Lin Yuxin smiled with a deep sense of accomplishment.

She cleaned up, stood up, and walked out slowly.

As soon as the people outside saw her emerge, they immediately rushed forward.

“How did it go?”

Lin Yuxin smiled at everyone.

“The surgery was very successful. However, when he wakes up, the wound will be extremely painful. Once it heals, the pain will subside. Since his injury involves the bones, he will need rehabilitation exercises after recovery. The healing process will be long.”

She patiently explained everything and handed a prescription to Chen Lanzhi.

“Aunt, this is the medicine he needs to start taking today. It will be changed every five days, and I will prescribe a new one accordingly. Also, he might develop a fever tonight. If that happens, just send someone to fetch me.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll remember. Yuxin, we really can’t thank you enough.”

Chen Lanzhi was so overwhelmed with emotion that she nearly started crying again, making Lin Yuxin quickly change the topic.

“Um… how is Grandfather doing with his medicine? Has Third Uncle been soaking in the medicinal baths I prescribed? Are the aunts keeping up with the medicinal diets? Have my cousins improved their physical fitness?”

“Ah! I forgot to finish my schoolwork—I have to go!”

“Right! I missed a lap while running today—I need to make up for it!”

The younger cousins bolted instantly.

“Oh, I need to check on the kitchen and see if lunch is ready.”

The eldest aunt ran off.

“Uh… I have some accounts to settle—I should get to it.”

The third aunt also made an escape, dragging Third Uncle along.

Left behind, Grandfather and Grandmother exchanged awkward glances.

Only now did they realize that their family was a bit… disobedient.

Lin Yuxin was speechless.

Was her medicinal cuisine really that awful?

Why did her aunts hate it so much?

Aunts: It’s not just awful—it’s absolutely unbearable! We’d rather drink bitter medicine!

Lin Yuxin: My cousins’ physical fitness is too weak.

Cousins: It’s not that we’re weak—it’s that you don’t follow normal training routines!

You said one lap a day, but that “one lap” meant circling the entire General’s residence, running through every courtyard. One lap around the estate was basically half the capital city!

The first day left them all collapsed in bed, unable to move.

If it weren’t for Second Uncle’s surgery today, they wouldn’t have been able to slack off even this much!

In the entire family, only Second Uncle and Grandfather fully followed Lin Yuxin’s treatment plan.

One was desperate to stand again, and the other was the backbone of the family—they had no choice.

The others, unaware of the severity of their health conditions, thought of it as simple physical training.

Still, after five days, everyone’s health had visibly improved, even if they themselves hadn’t realized it.

Despite their reluctance and attempts to slack off, they still completed their daily tasks. The Zhao family never lagged behind, and that reassured Lin Yuxin.

After having lunch and checking on her second uncle when he woke up, Lin Yuxin made sure everything was in order and gave post-surgery instructions before leaving the General’s residence.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was July 10th—the day of the Xia Kingdom’s grand banquet.

Every year, the entire capital was lively on this day.

Foreign envoys had arrived early and were sightseeing in the city, but Lin Yuxin paid no attention to any of it.

She was too focused on the banquet and treating her second uncle to care about the outside world.

She hadn’t heard any news about the Regent or what he was planning. She also had no idea what had happened to Princess Chenfu.

But today, she would finally see the legendary princess.

Early in the morning, a mama sent by her mother came to wake her up for grooming and dressing.

Lin Yuxin looked in the mirror and was stunned.

The beauty reflected in the mirror was like an elegant melody from an ancient zither.

Her slender figure swayed like a willow in the wind. Dressed in a vibrant hanfu, she exuded both grandeur and grace.

Her delicate face, smooth as white jade, had a faint rosy glow, making her irresistibly enchanting.

She had never carefully examined her appearance before.

Only today did she realize—she was truly a rare beauty.
