Chương 177: You are insulting me, or are you insulting Doctor Zhang?

During this period, Qiu Shiyong, who was dealing with the flood disaster, often went without sleep throughout the night.

He was already advanced in age, and his immune system wasn't that strong to begin with, let alone withstand such exhaustion.

Adding to that, the hustle amid the scorching heat and sweating made his herpes zoster flare up worse than before.

Now, unable to bear the pain and with doctors unable to alleviate it, he had no choice but to send for Zhang Xiaoying, to see if she had any means of helping.

When Zhang Xiaoying arrived at the posthouse, she pretended as if she hadn't noticed anything and inquired in detail.

Originally, Qiu Shiyong was not pleased with many people knowing about his illness, but now that the flood had subsided and his relief efforts were recognized as meritorious, he might have a chance to enter the cabinet. Naturally, he didn't want this illness to delay him and cause him to miss the opportunity.
