Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 4: Mission

Jiang Shuxuan's place was a temporary home, and even if it were just a place for him to rest temporarily, the number of people that could afford to live here in N City could be counted on one hand.

This was a grand manor in the heart of the city, and each building was worth billions by themselves. Most of these buildings had been booked and reserved by the rich, and even if someone wanted to buy one such building, they wouldn't be able to get their hands on it.

Gu Xiqiao immediately recognized this housing area, but she wasn't all that surprised.

She was brought into a guest room that had already been tidied up.

As soon as she got herself settle down, a middle-aged woman brought her a fresh change of clothes.

[Daily Good Deed Mission activated: Help cure Mrs. Zhang's legs]

[Mission completion reward: 5 points]

Gu Xiqiao received a mission notification as soon as she accepted the clothes.

Gu Xiqiao immediately knew that the system wanted her to do this mission, but although she had seen her fair share of medical scrolls in the virtual space, she had never actually tried them out on a living person. Not wanting to mess up with her meager grasp of medicine, she asked the system: "What if I make it worse?"

[The system can examine her health level, but it requires you to overdraft points in the system shop.]

[Ding! Examination complete!]

Gu Xiqiao quickly checked the examination results of the system and checked on the medical scrolls she had read before. She immediately thought of a way to help her and reached out to grab Mrs. Zhang's wrist, checking on her pulse before muttering, "Forty-five grams of honeysuckle, forty-five grams of dandelion, forty-five grams of gypsum, thirty grams of radix gentianae, thirty grams of smilax glabra root, thirty grams of Japanese knotweed..."

Seeing Mrs. Zhang's confused expression, Gu Xiqiao realized she was going too fast and went around the room to look for a pen and a piece of paper.

As she wrote down the medicine list, she continued, "You're limping very slightly while you walk. It's not very noticeable, but it's there, and it's a side effect from giving birth. You probably tired yourself out after giving birth and touched water way too soon, and you didn't even take precautions to keep yourself warm neither. One month after that your joints on your legs and wrist started hurting, followed by a pain in your hips. You went to the doctor's after that and it became better, but your legs still hurt if you walk more than you should. Once the weather changes, it would probably hurt so much that you won't be able to walk. According to your current situation, your lower body will become paralyzed in two years."

She deduced the pathology of Mrs. Zhang's illness by herself, while the system's examination found her medical history.

Gu Xiqiao's ability and intellect along so many years in the virtual space weren't for show, after all. The system itself thought that she was being way too modest when she said she was worried that she would make things worse.

As she talked, Mrs. Zhang's expression became more and more shocked. If it weren't for the fact that she was sure that they had never met before, she would have thought that the younger had checked on her medical history because it was exactly as she said it.

"How...How did you know?"

Gu Xiqiao finished prescribing the medicine and handed it to Mrs. Zhang after making sure there weren't any errors. "One is to be eaten, and the other is to be applied through fumigation, and the way to do it is written on there too. Listen to me, a woman has to treat herself well. When you should be strong, be strong, and when you should show weakness never force yourself. You must let others see your weakness so that they don't take you for granted."
