Shen Yiru had no intention of remarrying at the moment. Even if Shen Chen'er had not come to warn her that her Cousin Qian was not a good match, she would never have considered marrying far away to Jiangnan. However, she had received Shen Chen'er’s sincerity and was deeply moved. From now on, she would keep an eye on her younger cousin's affairs as well.
During this period, aside from inspecting her shops, she continued to visit the palace every five days to treat the Empress Dowager. After more than two months of treatment, the Empress Dowager's asthma was essentially cured. All that remained was to prescribe some mild herbal decoctions to consolidate the recovery. The Empress Dowager’s gratitude and affection for Shen Yiru went without saying.
One day, after Shen Yiru finished the acupuncture session, she stepped back, bowed, and said, "Empress Dowager, from now on, you should no longer suffer from acute asthma attacks. We only need to continue the herbal decoctions to consolidate the results, and your asthma will be fully cured. As for how long this consolidation phase will last, I will make a judgment based on your physical condition."
