Chapter 278: Re-entering the Marquisate (2)
Ru Yue was a direct disciple of Divine Doctor Shen, and as a woman, she was able to practice medicine in the vast capital, making her quite famous among the wealthy families. It was for this reason that the Marquis of Wu'an specially invited her to treat the female members of their household.
Although Ru Yue did not have much good feelings towards this family, she was well aware of her responsibilities as a doctor and would never be careless or slack in her consultation and treatment.
Her eyes fell on Wei Ziling and she looked at her carefully.
Wei Ziling looked haggard and pale as paper. Even with a thick layer of makeup on, it was still difficult to hide her sickly appearance.
However, what was strange was that her cheekbones actually had a bright red color, but it was not the color created by rouge, but more like a natural color. It was even faintly visible under the cover of rouge, just like the pink and charming peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Seeing this scene, Ru Yue's heart couldn't help but move, and she already had a preliminary diagnosis direction.
Ru Yue followed Wei Ziling to the side hall.
Ru Yue gently placed her hand on her wrist and began to feel her pulse. Her brows gradually furrowed, becoming tighter and tighter, as if they were tied into a knot.
Ru Yue found that Wei Ziling's pulse was deep, tight and thin, which indicated that she suffered from obvious uterine coldness and also had kidney yin deficiency.
Ru Yue thought to herself: I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for Wei Ziling to get pregnant in this life.
She even suspected that Wei Ziling might have blocked fallopian tubes, but to diagnose this condition, one cannot rely solely on taking the pulse.
However, Ru Yue had no intention of conducting a more in-depth and detailed examination of the patient in front of her.
After all, based on the first two symptoms currently detected, the chances of Wei Ziling being pregnant are already very slim.
"What's wrong with my body? Do you have any way to help me get pregnant as soon as possible?" Wei Ziling stared at Ru Yue's expression, with a bad premonition rising in her heart, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked unwillingly.
Ru Yue had heard Chu Ning'an mention this cousin before, and knew that she was a person who always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak.
Although she had never directly bullied Chu Ning'an, since the power of the Marquis' Mansion's finances was in the hands of Chen, in order to obtain more benefits and conveniences from Chen, she naturally treated Chu Ning'an indifferently and never treated him sincerely.
If that’s the case, why should I treat such people with courtesy?
"Madam, did you ever accidentally fall into a freezing cold pond when you were young?" Ru Yue didn't even wait for Wei Ziling to respond before continuing, "According to my pulse diagnosis, your body was attacked by extreme cold, which caused uterine coldness and yin deficiency. Therefore, it is indeed difficult for you to conceive and have children."
Under normal circumstances, Ru Yue might have used more tactful words considering the patient's emotions and acceptance level.
However, facing the scheming women in the backyard of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, she really lost her patience and sympathy.
Hearing these words, Wei Ziling was struck by lightning, and her eyes, which were originally full of expectation, instantly dimmed.
Her body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and it suddenly collapsed, like a flower that withered and dried in an instant. She looked shaky and could fall down at any time.
Madam Wei Er, who followed closely, heard the conversation clearly and vividly.
She has been working in the harem for so many years and knows very well what it means for a woman to be unable to bear children.
This woman came from a prominent family and had a distinguished background, but as long as she had no children, it would be difficult for her to provide substantial help to her husband's family.
Thinking of this, Madam Wei Er's face suddenly darkened, and her tone became unusually unfriendly: "Can you cure this disease?"
At this time, Ru Yue, who had been silent all the time, slowly raised her head and looked at Madam Wei Er.
Her eyes were filled with disdain, and she responded calmly, "There's nothing I can do."
Hearing Ru Yue's straightforward answer, Wei Ziling, who was standing aside, was struck by lightning. Her face instantly turned pale as paper, and her body was shaking, as if she was about to faint at the next moment.
Mrs. Wei Er saw this look and felt pain in her heart. She hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Wei Ziling tightly in her arms, and comforted her in a soft voice.
Ru Yue began to pack up the things she brought with her with an expressionless face, preparing to leave with Fengying beside her.
However, at this moment, Madam Wei Er, who had just been hugging Wei Ziling and comforting her softly, suddenly went crazy and roared at Ru Yue: "Aren't you the direct disciple of the so-called miracle doctor? How come you can't even cure such a minor ailment! And you dare to use the name of miracle doctor to cheat people everywhere? You are a complete fraud!"
Ru Yue, who is usually kind and smiling, was completely ignited with anger when faced with such unreasonable accusations.
She stopped what she was doing, turned around, and stared coldly at Madam Wei Er. She retorted in the same unceremonious manner, "I'm sure you've consulted many famous doctors before, right? But is there anyone who can cure her illness?"
Madam Wei Er widened her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her, Ru Yue, in disbelief. She dared to openly contradict her.
She could never have imagined that this seemingly weak girl had such courage and bravery.
For a moment, Madam Wei Er stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.
You know, relying on the power and status of Marquis Wu'an, in this huge circle of wealthy people in the capital, people have always been respectful and flattering to her. Who has ever dared to insult her so mercilessly?
Madam Wei Er, who had come to her senses, was furious. Her face flushed red with anger. She pointed at Ru Yue and cursed, "How outrageous! You are simply lawless!"
Facing Madam Wei Er's angry rebuke, Ru Yue remained unmoved.
She just stood there quietly, staring at the other person coldly as if he were an idiot.
That icy gaze was like a cold winter wind, piercing one's heart and sending chills down one's spine. Even the normally aggressive and overbearing Madam Wei Er felt a chill in her heart, yet she feigned composure and continued to shout, "Humph! Do you really think you're a miracle doctor just because you're called one? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you're made of!"
Ru Yue's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her originally tense face suddenly broke into an extremely charming and brilliant smile.
She raised her chin slightly, opened her red lips, and said slowly, "Since Madam Wei Er looks down on my small clinic so much, then from today on, Huairen Clinic will remember this and will never accept any patients from the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion again."
After saying that, she turned and left, without even looking back, she walked straight out of the side hall, leaving Madam Wei Er standing there in shock.
The departing figure seemed so resolute and determined, as if it had completely drawn a line between itself and everything in this side hall.
Perhaps the wait was really too long, and the women in the main hall finally couldn't contain their anxiety anymore, and they all surrounded the old lady of Marquis Wu'an and walked in quickly.
The moment they stepped into the side hall, they happened to hear Ru Yue's words. For a moment, the entire side hall fell into a dead silence.
Although these women secretly cursed Madam Wei Er's stupid behavior in their hearts, as she had unknowingly provoked the most outstanding female doctor in the capital, from now on, it would be difficult for them to invite Ru Yue to see a doctor again.
But at the same time, they had to admit that what Ru Yue had just said was undoubtedly a severe insult to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. It was like a loud slap in the face of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, destroying the dignity of this mansion in an instant.
