Chapter 11 Mother, here comes the medicine

"This...I..." The old lady's face turned red instantly. She wanted to explain, but Zhao Mingruo didn't give her a chance to explain.

Ah Fu came back soon, accompanied by a doctor wearing green robes and a gray beard.

"Doctor Zhu, please diagnose and treat our old lady quickly. She is not feeling well."

Doctor Zhu smiled confidently and went to the old lady's bed to check for her pulse.

The old lady was so nervous that she didn't know what to say, "Aruo, it's actually just a minor problem. I'll just rest for a few days and it will be fine. You don't have to worry."

Doctor Zhu beside him shook his head repeatedly, "Old madam, your health is a big deal. Your insomnia is not an ordinary minor illness."

Now, the old lady and Gu Changheng were surprised.

"What insomnia?" Gu Changheng asked doubtfully.

Doctor Zhu said matter-of-factly, "Back to the old lady and the second young master, insomnia refers to difficulty falling asleep or not sleeping well. Does the old lady sleep less at night?"

The old lady nodded with a pale face, "So it seems that she did not sleep enough."

Dr. Zhu continued, "That's it. This symptom is mostly caused by overwork, Yang deficiency, internal heat, blood deficiency that cannot nourish the mind, and worry and depression."

"The elderly have weak yang qi, stomach disharmony, burning fire and phlegm stagnation, and excessive heat in febrile diseases. This condition may appear to be a minor illness, but in the long run it will cause damage to the body and may not be life-threatening."

"What? So serious?" The old lady couldn't believe her ears. Originally, she was just pretending to be sick. Why is it so serious now that she is really sick?

It sounds scary.

Zhao Mingruo looked panicked, "Doctor Zhu, you must cure my mother-in-law's disease. No matter how much money you spend, you will not feel bad. The medicinal materials must be the best."

"Second Madam is very filial and kind. Don't worry. Old Madam has her own destiny. Although this disease is serious, fortunately it was discovered early and can be cured." Dr. Zhu praised Zhao Mingruo and then asked for paper and pen.

With a wave of his hand, he started writing prescriptions.

He handed the prescribed order to Ah Fu and said, "Go and make some medicine for your old lady. Use three bowls of water to make a bowl of water and bring it to the old lady to take. Three times a day, remember."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhu."

Ah Fu thanked her again and trotted to the pharmacy.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and some color returned to her face, "Thank you very much, Doctor Zhu. Mingruo, you must send Doctor Zhu off well."

Zhao Mingruo nodded.

Doctor Zhu did not stand up, however, "Old madam, the medicine just prescribed is only for oral administration. Your disease requires internal and external cooperation to heal faster."

After saying that, he took out his medicine box and unfolded the medicine bag. Dozens of silver needles of different sizes inside shone with cold light. He carefully selected them and took out a few silver needles as thick as a sack.

"Old madam, please be patient. I need to give you some acupuncture."

"What, we need acupuncture..."

The old lady's face, which had finally calmed down, turned pale again, and her voice trembled, "Doctor Zhu, this...isn't it necessary?"

With such a thick needle, the old lady was not sure if she could breathe anymore. Doctor Zhu actually held seven or eight needles in his hand. Can she still be okay with a handful of old bones?

The old lady winked at Gu Changheng desperately, hoping that her son could save her.

Gu Changheng was also anxious, "Aruo, my mother is already old. Why don't she just take the decoction orally and slowly nurse her back to health? This acupuncture..."

"Husband, what are you talking about? If you really want to help her catch her for her own good, it is precisely because she is old that she cannot be careless when she is sick. A minor illness that looks inconspicuous can cause serious illness.

If a life is taken away, we cannot hide our illness and avoid medical treatment."

Zhao Mingruo had already pressed the old lady's shoulders while she was talking, and she scolded Aunt He and Lian Huai in the room, "What's going on with you two? You came here to help treat the old lady and you still want me to tell you."

?”

Just like that, the old lady's hands and feet were caught and she couldn't move.

Doctor Zhu held the silver needle in his hand and smiled.

"It hurts, it hurts so much..."

"Ouch..."

"ah……"

"It hurts... Ouch, ah..."

Anhuiyuan's pig-killing screams instantly resounded through the Hou Mansion. The maids and servants in the manor looked into the courtyard from time to time, not knowing what they were doing. The old lady was really out of character. She screamed like this.

It sounds ugly!

What is the difference between killing a pig?

No matter how hard the old lady struggled, the needle stuck in her body showed no sign of stopping.

"Heng'er, save mother, mother is dying, mother will be hurt to death..."

The old lady's screams gradually became quieter, and the sweat on her body made her clothes wet, as if she had been washed by water. "If it sticks deeper, my mother's life will be decided here."

She really regretted it to death. She had to pretend to be sick for whatever reason. This damn Zhao Mingruo actually called someone to come and stab her. She will definitely find a chance to take revenge, she will!

Gu Changheng sweated anxiously, but before he could utter his plea, he was blocked by Zhao Mingruo, "Acupuncture is the basis of my treatment and practice in the past. Mother, why are you saying this like a child in order to avoid treatment?"

Where are the lies?"

"Doctor Zhu, don't worry. My mother is an old lady from the Anyuan Marquis Mansion. She won't know right from wrong. When my mother recovers, not only will she not blame you, she will come to thank you."

Doctor Zhu smiled knowingly and applied a little more force to the pricking technique.

"ah……"

After smelling a stick of incense for a long time, the old lady almost fainted and gasped for air. Doctor Zhu then withdrew the injection and said, "I will come over tomorrow to give the old lady acupuncture on time. It only takes three days."

Just one day, old lady, with such a filial daughter-in-law, you will definitely recover."

alright.

The old lady tilted her head and closed her eyes.

This time she really fainted.

Zhao Mingruo sent the doctor out with great gratitude, and a full fifty taels of silver notes were pressed into his palm.

Doctor Zhu accepted it calmly, "Second Madam, please rest assured, the villain can control the strength to get the best results, and there will be no danger or accident. But if this is to treat a disease, then you must suffer some pain to get better."

It’s faster.”

Zhao Mingruo almost laughed out loud, "What Dr. Zhu said makes sense."

With no one around, Gu Changheng dared to help his old mother up and asked, "Mom, are you okay?"

"Are you okay?"

The old lady cried uncontrollably, "Heng'er, my mother is about to be pricked into a hornet's nest. I don't know how many hundreds of needles have been inserted into her arms and legs, and she still needs acupuncture for three days. It's really not going to work anymore. You have to help me think about it."

There is a way, otherwise my mother will be stabbed to death."

Before Gu Changheng could speak, Zhao Mingruo came back with a smile.

Ah Fu behind her was holding a bowl of black soup in his hand. Just smelling it next to it made him sick to death, but Zhao Mingruo still smiled tenderly and considerately, "Mom, here is the medicine."
