Ye Ling had no choice but to resort to metaphysical methods to avoid trouble. Most people in the countryside were quite superstitious, so it seemed normal for her to make demands on patients as a divine doctor.
After Jin Zhi and Wan Wen left, Ye Ling returned to the dormitory. She didn't even take off her coat before falling asleep on the bed.
Ye Ling woke up at dusk, washed her face, combed her hair, changed her clothes, and headed to Wan Wen's house to see Wan Wen's mother.
As Ye Ling left the dormitory, a few young female scholars who were busy drying clothes began to discuss her.
"It's already so late. Why is she going out?"
"What else can she do? It's probably nothing serious."
"I heard someone came looking for her during the day. Did any of you see what happened?"
