Zhang Qiusheng's wife's illness wasn't as tricky as Zhao Yunxiang's; however, it couldn't be cured in a short period and needed to be nursed gradually. After Dr. Zheng had diagnosed her and prescribed several doses of medicine, he instructed that once Zhang Qiusheng's wife had finished the current prescriptions, he would check on her condition and prescribe accordingly. It was expected that she could recover about seventy to eighty percent in roughly a month.
In truth, Zhang Qiusheng's wife's illness wasn't as severe as imagined. She had merely caught a chill, compounded by anxiety over her daughter's affairs. Then, after moving to Lin Yue's estate, the ordeal became too much for her, and she found herself bedridden for several days, unable to get up. This left her quite disheartened, believing she might not recover, which only seemed to exacerbate her condition. It turned out that much of her illness was the result of psychological effects.
