Little Madam Chen, who hadn't come today, had married the Censorate's Right Assistant Censor-in-Chief. He had passed away two years ago, leaving three adult stepsons at home.
The three stepsons frequently came to blows over Little Madam Chen. The battles were fierce, and they were looking for doctors every other day.
The Eldest Princess rolled her eyes. "Fifth Miss, you may have some medical skill, but with your status, how would they dare ask you to make house calls?"
Only then did Jian Ruonan realize that her recent promotions had been too meteoric. The gap in social standing between her and the subjects of the gossip had widened, leaving her with no juicy gossip to feast on.
After all, who the fuck had eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall to dare ask a first-rank general to make a house call?!
"What if I disguised myself?" Jian Ruonan blinked. "We'll say I'm a female physician from your residence, highly skilled and tight-lipped. With you vouching for me, Your Highness, they're sure to buy it!"
The Eldest Princess thought it over. "House calls in the middle of the night and such-could you get out of bed?"
Jian Ruonan said, "Why wouldn't I be able to?!"
She might be a little cranky when woken up, but she could catch up on sleep the next day!
The Eldest Princess said, "It's doable, but you have to bring me along."
Jian Ruonan said, "Your Highness, you're so elegant and intelligent, with such an upright character. You'd be difficult to disguise. Not like me-I'm as plain as watery broth and can bend or stand tall as needed. A little makeup and no one will recognize me."
The Eldest Princess didn't respond. She calmly waited for the truth to enter her head.
