Duke Chong stepped back into the study, and Manager Wang said, "Madam is at the Young Master's place, asking for the Duke to see them after returning to the mansion."
Duke Chong then went to the room of the Heir of Duke Chong.
Inside, a maid handed the medicine to the Heir of Duke Chong.
The Heir of Duke Chong refused to drink it and threw it away.
This was the third bowl of decoction he had thrown today.
When Duke Chong entered, the shattered medicine bowl landed at his feet and stopped at his official boots.
"What are you so angry about?" Duke Chong asked.
The Duchess looked at him and said, "The Duke finally returned. The ointment prepared by the Princess Consort Zhenbei is all used up, and Honghong isn't getting any better with other medicines."
The Heir of Duke Chong had run out of ointment for seven or eight days.
Su Jin's ointment had pain-relieving properties.
The Heir of Duke Chong hadn't slept well for a few days without the ointment.
