Jinyi Spring

Chapter 78 The Third Mutual Conflict

Madam Ming quietly observed Feng Chuchen.

She has a dignified and imposing appearance, with thick eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a slightly square chin, exuding a heroic air, rather than being a delicate and charming beauty. Yet, she is also pure and refined, calm and serene, without a trace of fear.

I never imagined that a country doctor could raise such a descendant.

Why does he look so familiar...?

Madam Ming couldn't recall who the girl resembled.

About fifteen minutes later, Feng Chuchen had determined that Madam Ming was suffering from severe uterine prolapse, also known as vaginal prolapse.

It falls into the extremely serious category.

The uterus may prolapse at any time when standing, and can only retract into the body when lying down.

The problem in wealthy families is not hygiene or nutrition, but rather complications from difficult childbirth and overexertion.

It is extremely rare for a wealthy woman to suffer from such severe vaginal prolapse.

Feng Chuchen looked up and carefully examined Madam Ming.

Approaching forty, despite her exquisite makeup, she couldn't hide her haggard and aged appearance. Her features were delicate and beautiful, one could imagine her youthful charm.

He looked somewhat familiar.

Then she thought of her as Ming Shanyue's mother and Shangguan Ruyu's aunt, and wondered if she looked familiar.

This disease is considered a hidden ailment, and it's normal that people don't believe they can definitely cure it and are unwilling to talk about it.

Feng Chuchen truthfully stated, "If my diagnosis is correct, the lady has uterine prolapse. She has difficulty urinating, lower back pain, and bleeding outside of her menstrual period. In severe cases, the uterus will prolapse and can only retract when she lies down..."

For a condition as severe as hers, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.

Feng Chuchen couldn't say this outright.

The woman's womb is what was referred to as the uterus in her previous life.

Feng Chuchen's words made Madam Ming and Granny Li's eyes widen.

The young girl is truly amazing; she was able to clearly diagnose her illness simply by feeling her pulse.

Granny Li put away her dismissive attitude.

Madam Ming said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, does Doctor Feng have a way to cure this?"

Now she dared not underestimate the young woman in front of her.

Feng Chuchen pondered for a moment and said, "As long as Madam cooperates, I should be able to cure her. I want to know why Madam's illness is so serious."

Madam Ming sighed deeply, her eyes darkening.

"I had a difficult childbirth when I gave birth to my second child; it was a near-death experience..."

She fell silent.

After a short while, Granny Li continued, "When the Second Master was born, he was too big, weighing a full eight pounds and two ounces. The Madam gave birth for three days and two nights, and it was only with great difficulty that she was born. She tore in three places and also suffered from bleeding, almost losing her life."

"She had just finished her postpartum confinement and was still recovering from her illness when her husband and the Dowager Lady, who had accompanied the Emperor on his campaign, returned in triumph. On the way back to the capital, the Dowager Lady was seriously injured while protecting the Emperor. The Madam, despite her own illness, took care of the Dowager Lady tirelessly for more than half a month, and that's how the root of her illness was formed."

"Over the years, countless imperial physicians and folk doctors have been consulted, but none have been able to cure the illness. Can Miss Feng truly cure Madam's ailment?"

She still didn't quite believe it.

Feng Chuchen was puzzled. With so many servants in a wealthy family, how could they allow their sick daughter-in-law to serve them day and night?

This all demonstrates the old lady's philanthropy...

Feng Chuchen desperately wanted to cure Madam Ming's illness. This wasn't just out of a doctor's compassion, but also because she hoped to leave a good impression on Ming Shanyue and prevent her from seeking revenge.

He said, "This illness has been difficult to cure and is considered a stubborn disease. I can treat it, but it will take a long time, at least six months, at most two years, and my wife's cooperation is also required."

"In addition to taking herbal medicine, acupuncture, bloodletting, and moxibustion, as well as external application and soaking, we also need to massage the abdomen and pelvis and practice lower body muscle contraction..."

Six months to two years was her level in her previous life. In this life, having absorbed her aunt's acupuncture techniques and possessing "Taiyin" power, the healing time will be greatly shortened; she feels she can be cured in three months.

She can't come to administer acupuncture every day, so sometimes Banxia has to take her place. But if Banxia's skills aren't up to par, the time will be postponed again.

Four or five months should be fine.

But she couldn't tell the truth, because others wouldn't believe her, and she didn't want to reveal too much of her strength.

As long as her illness can be cured, Madam Ming is willing to endure any hardship or difficulty.

But the girl's statement that it might be cured in six months made her suspicious. Even the best imperial physicians and doctors wouldn't dare say they could cure this disease, let alone in six months.

Is the little girl trying to coax someone?
Granny Li didn't believe it either, staring wide-eyed at Feng Chuchen.

You said it would take six months to cure?

Feng Chuchen looked at her calmly and said, "I'm saying it could take anywhere from six months to two years."

Madam Ming stared at Feng Chuchen for a short while before nodding and saying, "I am willing to cooperate. If Miss Feng can truly cure my illness, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

After all these years, she has a glimmer of hope again.

Feng Chuchen said, "I dare not accept such a generous thanks. One acupuncture session, one massage session, and four herbal decoctions daily, supplemented with external application and soaking. Initially, there will be a five-day rest period every ten days of treatment… I will perform the acupuncture and massage, but I am extremely busy."
"If something comes up unexpectedly, Banxia can come, but I must personally administer the acupuncture for the bloodletting treatment every three days. Madam also needs to practice contracting her lower body muscles; I'll tell you how..."

Granny Li said, "It would be best if Doctor Feng personally performed acupuncture and massage each time."

Feng Chuchen said, "I can only try my best. People often come directly to the clinic to pick people up, and there are many families I can't afford to offend, so I dare not refuse."

Madam Ming and Granny Li both knew that the people they couldn't afford to offend were powerful figures or even royalty, so they couldn't force the issue.

Feng Chuchen wrote out the prescription and explained to Madam Ming and Granny Li how to apply the medicine externally, soak the affected area, and perform exercises for the lower body muscles.

Upon hearing the latter, Madam Ming blushed, but remembered it very carefully.

Granny Li said more earnestly, "I didn't remember, Miss Feng, please say it again."

It was already noon. Madam Ming said, "Please let Miss Feng have lunch here, and she will have acupuncture and massage this afternoon. Please have lunch in the outer courtyard with Master, Shanyue, and Shanfeng."

The old master and the old lady have entered the palace; they had previously agreed to come here to keep her company at noon.

No sooner had he finished speaking than several footsteps were heard coming from the courtyard.

Then came the voice of a maid outside the door, "This servant greets the Duke, the First Master, the Second Master, and Young Master Shangguan."

A sweet, childlike voice rang out, "Little Yueyue, Little Yueyue..."

It's Ah Xuan.

The footsteps stopped, and Shangguan Ruyu laughed, "The little guy is back, and he has such a sweet tongue."

"Xiaoyuyu, Xiaoyuyu."

A young man's voice, somewhere between youth and adolescence, said, "Haha, only Ah Xuan dares to call you 'Big Brother' like that."

Ming Shanyue's cold voice said, "If you keep making noise, I'll pluck all your fur."

Ah Xuan shouted again, "Ah~~ Ah~~ Inhale, exhale, push hard..."

Everyone laughed again.

The Ming brothers, Shangguan Ruyu, and several young girls didn't know who A-Xuan was referring to, but the others who had been through it all could tell.

The Duke of Dingguo laughed and asked, "Where did you learn this?"

Feng Chuchen was struggling to suppress her laughter.

Of course, he learned this at their clinic. Ah Xuan would occasionally come to the clinic to play. If Feng Chuchen was there, he would play with Feng Chuchen. If Feng Chuchen was busy, he would play with Feng Buji, Shaoyao, or Datou.

This sound was the most common in the clinic.

Madam Ming laughed until tears streamed down her face, and said, "Please invite Miss Feng to the west wing for dinner. After the gentlemen have finished eating and left, she can come to the main room for treatment." Due to her physical condition, she usually ate in this room.

Feng Chuchen followed a maid out the door.

Seeing several men walking towards the door, Ming Shanyue saw Ah Xuan standing on the back of her hand.

Of these people, the young gentleman seemed the most out of place.

Because the others were all tall and slender, handsome and dashing, while that young man was fair-skinned and plump.

He was very good-looking, with handsome features and fair skin, but he was too fat. He was over 1.7 meters tall and weighed at least 170 kilograms.

It should be the legendary Second Young Master Ming Shanfeng.

When Ah Xuan saw Feng Chuchen, he was overjoyed and called out to her, "Flowers, flowers, even the hibiscus cannot compare to a beauty's makeup..."

Shangguan Ruyu smiled and said, "Ah Xuan has a discerning eye; he can tell that Miss Feng is as beautiful as a flower."

He was both happy and surprised to run into Feng Chuchen here.

He also suggested to Ming Shanyue that Feng Chuchen be invited to treat his aunt. Ming Shanyue did not express his opinion at the time, but he did invite Feng Chuchen.

Ming Shanyue was surprised that Feng Chuchen was still there.

He flicked Ah Xuan on the forehead, "Don't shout."

There were five steps in front of the main house. Feng Chuchen stopped, curtsied to them, and then retreated with the maid to the side of the door to wait for the men to pass first.

The Duke of Dingguo walked at the front and nodded to Feng Chuchen.

Next was Ming Shanyue, and finally Ming Shanfeng and Shangguan Ruyu.

As Ming Shanyue climbed the steps and passed by Feng Chuchen, her mind suddenly went blank, her legs went weak uncontrollably, and she fell towards Feng Chuchen.

Feng Chuchen instinctively pushed Ming Shanyue outwards, causing her to fall to the left and land on her bottom in a large flowerpot at the bottom of the steps. A Xuan, who was on the back of her hand, was startled and flew up.

Ming Shanyue's buttocks and side legs were painfully pricked by the flower branches, so she quickly jumped up.

The flower branches that had gotten into his robe and trousers caught on the heavy flowerpot. As he stood up, the flowerpot was lifted off the ground, then crashed back down with a loud thud.

With a "rip," a large piece of his outer robe and trousers was torn off.

This sudden turn of events left everyone present speechless, and the air seemed to freeze.

The Duke of Dingguo turned around and frowned, saying, "Such a big person, yet he still trips and falls while walking."

Feng Chuchen froze on the spot, as if petrified, staring blankly at everything before her.

Why is this happening again!
Ming Shanyue was still a little dazed when she stood up. She shook her head to clear her mind and glared at Feng Chuchen.

Startled, Feng Chuchen quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to push you."

Shangguan Ruyu ran to Feng Chuchen and stood in front of her. "It's not Miss Feng's fault. If she didn't push you away, would she have waited for you to fall on her? Cousin, even if your legs go weak when you see a beauty, you can't be this weak."

Ming Shanfeng, seeing his older brother make a fool of himself for the first time, burst into a thunderous laugh.

"Big brother, your backside is about to show! Wahahaha..."

Ming Shanyue belatedly felt a chill on her hind legs. Looking back, she saw that her buttocks and thighs were completely exposed to the bleak autumn wind.

Shame and anger instantly overwhelmed the pain and rage. His handsome face flushed red as he jumped up the highest step and rushed into the house.

The other men suppressed their laughter and followed them into the main room.

Before Shangguan Ruyu entered, she gave Feng Chuchen a reassuring smile, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Feng Chuchen and the maid entered the south side room of the west wing, where Banxia was waiting. Food had already been laid out on the table.

Feng Chuchen felt extremely upset. How could she have let that plague god embarrass himself again?
She was very puzzled; this was too much of a coincidence to describe.

Why is it that every time he encounters Ming Shanyue, he is destined to be in a sorry state?
Could it be that their birth charts clash? Or perhaps she possesses an unseen malevolent aura specifically targeting Ming Shanyue?
What should I do? He's not going to make her physically disappear, is he...?

Banxia saw the scene from the window and was quite frightened.

"Miss, how could this happen? You should stay away from Young Master Ming from now on."

Feng Chuchen nodded, agreeing that he should indeed stay away from that plague god next time.

Ming Shanyue hid in the west room waiting for the maid to go to his courtyard to get his clothes and trousers.

He was so angry he gritted his teeth.

This was the biggest embarrassment he had ever suffered since birth, and it happened in front of everyone.

It was worse than death.

He couldn't understand why his mind would go blank and his legs would go weak when he was a certain distance away from that girl, making him feel like he had gone mad.

He met her three times, and each time he inexplicably fell for her tricks.

He and that girl must be incompatible according to their birth charts, or perhaps she's the kind of person who brings bad luck to him, just like he brings bad luck to the girls he's engaged to.

That girl's fate was even stronger than his, this "lone star of destiny."

Just as he was gritting his teeth, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf. Looking down, he saw Ah Xuan standing on the back of his foot, plucking the hair off his leg with his little pointed mouth.

After pulling one out, the little thing gave him a defiant look.

It means, if you want to pluck all my hair, I'll pluck all yours first.

Ming Shanyue, with nowhere to vent his anger, slammed his large hand down with a gust of wind.

Startled, Ah Xuan screamed and flew out the window.

Ah Xuan flew into the west wing, stood on Feng Chuchen's shoulder, and shouted, "Robbery, robbery!"

Feng Chuchen and Banxia both looked distressed, unable to eat, and had no mood to feed it.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Ah Xuan flew to the table and started eating the meat on the plate, his little bottom sticking up with delight.

After taking a few bites, they'll say, "Plucking the hairs."

In the side room of the main house, several people were gathered around the table waiting for Ming Shanyue to eat.

Madam Ming also forced herself to sit here, but she could only maintain a normal sitting posture for a little over 15 minutes before she had to lie down.

We're all family, eating together at the same table.

Madam Ming asked Shangguan Ruyu, "Did the Princess really agree to let you become a royal physician?"

Shangguan Ruyu was delighted when this was mentioned. "Yes, not only my mother agreed, but my maternal grandmother and paternal grandmother also agreed."

The Ming Dynasty believed that "if one cannot be a good prime minister, then one should be a good doctor. A good doctor can also improve people's livelihoods and relieve the emperor's worries."

Seeing Ming Shanyue enter with a sullen face after changing his clothes, the Duke of Ming frowned and asked, "What happened to you just now?"

No matter what, a son shouldn't be pushed down by a little girl.

Ming Shanfeng's chubby face flushed with excitement as he looked at his older brother with a beaming smile.

The elders always said he was useless and how capable his older brother was. But even if he was useless, he never let a girl push him down in public and almost expose his buttocks.

Shame!

Taking advantage of his parents' presence and the fact that his older brother wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him, he laughed irritably, "Big brother was wearing white underwear just now, wahahaha..."

Ming Shanyue's eyes blazed with anger. If her parents weren't around, Fei Maotui would have already taken care of this kid.

Ming Shanfeng was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Madam Ming, tugging at her sleeve and saying, "Mother, look at how fierce my brother looks, he's going to hit your darling."

Madam Ming glared at him, "How dare you talk to your elder brother like that? You're talking nonsense first, you deserve a beating."

Ming Shanfeng immediately cowered and admitted defeat, "Your son wouldn't dare to talk nonsense anymore."
