Lin Yue remained neutral towards Madam Zhou's behavior, simply waiting for Doctor Zheng's arrival. Though Doctor Zheng was skilled in medicine, he didn't have the most effective method for Lin Qing's cough. He suggested Lin Qing continue with the previous prescription, saying, "My medical skills are limited. If the Family Head were here, perhaps he would have a better solution."
Doctor Zheng's remarks showed that he truly had done his best. However, Lin Qing's cough was so severe that if it continued and led to pneumonia, it would be troublesome, as the ancient medical conditions were not favorable. In those days, contracting pneumonia was much more serious and difficult to treat than suffering from a common cold.
