Chapter 218 – A Secret: Wei Yuewu Suffered Prenatal Deficiency
Concubine Dong’s subordinate, an insignificant maid, wanted to buy over servants of the Lotus Courtyard, and she did it in such a perfect manner. It was truly extraordinary.
Even if that old gate-watching maidservant wasn’t knocked, soone else would be knocked. When this maid entered the courtyard, she must have already chosen her target. When she left, she would directly “inadvertently knock” that person.
If she went to look for that old maidservant, it would make people think that she was too narrow-minded and could not even compare to a concubine!
“Shall we just ignore it like this?” Huamo asked in confusion.
“It’s just an earring. It’s not a big deal! You can ask other servants in the courtyard later and say that Concubine Dong’s maid lost an earring. If anyone picked it up and handed it in, I’ll give them a big reward!” Wei Yuewu said with a faint look in her eyes.
Since Concubine Dong wanted to bribe her servants, she had no objection. Anyway, that old maidservant dared not let other people know that she received an earring. Now, she gave the old maidservant a chance to be rewarded for handing in the earring.
Anyone could figure this out and what was best for them!
“Yes, I will go imdiately!” Huamo was also a smart person, and her eyes imdiately lit up. She smiled and turned around to leave.
“Miss, the matter with Doctor Ming’s family is almost over now. But Doctor Ming’s son is still recovering from his injuries at ho every day and doesn’t dare to go out. It is said that his money is almost used up. Even the clinic Doctor Ming runs sotis lacks dicine, so he has to let the patients go to the pharmacy to buy dicine by themselves.”
Jin Ling reported her findings and took out the dicine bottle from her pocket and handed it to Wei Yuewu, “Miss, I visited a few pharmacies. They all said that this is a kind of dicine that is good to the body. It is useful for most people and can be considered as a good dicine.”
“What about those few people?” Wei Yuewu keenly sensed the flaws in Jin Ling’s words.
“Although this dicine is good for most people, it cannot be used by people who are too weak and pregnant won.” Looking at Wei Yuewu who had a cold and fierce expression, Jin Ling bit her lip and hesitated for a mont. But in the end, she still answered.
What did a strong tonic an to extrely feeble people and pregnant won? Sothing seed to flash through her mind, but she was unable to grasp it for a mont. She felt her heart pounding wildly.
“What will happen if people take it by mistake?” Wei Yuewu clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves and took a deep breath. Only then did she suppress the icy coldness and hatred scattering in the bloodlines of her four limbs. In the end, they turned into hostility and slowly flowed to all parts of her body.
“If a person who is too weak accidentally consus it, it will be equivalent to a great poison. After taking it for a long ti, the person will die. If a pregnant woman accidentally consus it, not only will it harm the pregnant woman herself, but it will also cause her bay to be born ntally impaired and congenitally deficient!” Even though Jin Ling was not an ordinary maid, she was still shocked when she saw the look in Wei Yuewu’s eyes.
“So, my mother had been taking it before she passed away!” Wei Yuewu narrowed her eyes and hid the hostility in her eyes.
So, a part of the reason why Mother passed away so early was because of this dicine? Of course, her prenatal deficiency also began when Mother was plotted against during her pregnancy.
This kind of sche was not sothing that could be done overnight. It was a long process that started with Mother’s pregnancy and ended with Mother’s death.
The dicine was a tonic, so what if it was discovered? Moreover, Wei Yuewu had people search the room again but didn’t find a second bottle. In other words, if it wasn’t for the thread wrapping around the bottle, it would be impossible for her to discover this bottle.
That ant Mother’s room must have been searched by soone else. After Mother died, soone rummaged through Mother’s room and cleaned up all the suspicious things. Needless to say, this person must be Concubine Dong.
After Mother passed away, Lady Li, as the wife of the second branch, helped to deal with important matters. It was quite normal for Concubine Dong, the only concubine of the first branch, to be entrusted the task of tidying up the room of Mother.
It was quite easy for Concubine Dong if she wanted to look for sothing or hide sothing while she was tidying up the room.
“That dicine isn’t Doctor Ming’s exclusive recipe, is it?” After pondering for a mont, Wei Yuewu asked.
“No, I brought the dicine with . After visiting several pharmacies, they all said that they had the recipe and could make this dicine in their shops. However, the price was relatively high, and it was not sothing that ordinary people could afford. Moreover, this dicine was effective only after being constantly taken for a long ti. At least several bottles were needed to strengthen the body and achieve the desired effects. However, the patient must listen to the doctor’s advice before taking the dicine!”
Previously, Jin Ling had always believed that this dicine was Doctor Ming’s exclusive recipe. After all, there was a character reading “Ming” carved on the bottle. When the first pharmacy said that it could be made there, she didn’t believe and deliberately visited a few more pharmacies. She didn’t expect that the other pharmacies all gave her the sa affirmative answer.
“When will Doctor Ming visit the mansion?” Wei Yuewu lowered her cold eyes and asked softly.
So, it turned out this Doctor Ming did not have a clear conscience. Since he would do sothing evil in the past for money, now that he was in a difficult ti, how could he let go of an opportunity of making a big sum of money to support his family…
“He will visit our mansion this afternoon. The Madam Dowager has already sent soone to invite him. I happened to see a person of our mansion going over. Doctor Ming happened to be away from his clinic to visit other patients. The person from our mansion spoke to Doctor Xiao Junior at the gate.”
Jin Ling replied after thinking for a while.
That Doctor Ming Junior was the one who was rumored to have an affair with Wei Yan. Ever since the incident involving Wei Yan, this Doctor Ming Junior had never entered the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang again.
“Miss, I also saw soone from Marquis Jing Yuan’s mansion today. Furthermore, that person seed to be very familiar with Doctor Ming Junior. As soon as he ca over, Doctor Ming Junior took out the dicine that was wrapped up without saying a word. That person also hastily gave Doctor Ming Junior the money and left, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.” Jin Ling hesitated for a mont before continuing.
At that ti, she felt that it was strange to see this person from the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan behaving in such a sneaky manner. If it wasn’t for this, she wouldn’t have noticed that person.
She used to be a dark guard, so she had a good mory. After thinking for a mont, she rembered that this person was from the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan. Furthermore, he was one of the most trusted servants of Marquis Jing Yuan.
“Don’t worry about the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan. After Doctor Ming finishes feeling my father’s pulse, you stop him when he is leaving and tell him that I’m sick. Bring him over. If he refuses to co, tell him that you are going to report it to my father.”
After thinking for a mont, Wei Yuewu made up her mind. She looked out of the window, and the smile on her lips was cold and indifferent.
Since everyone else said that Marquis Hua Yang doted on Mother, she would like to see if Doctor Ming, who had been avoiding her, dared to refuse her request when Marquis Hua Yang was back in the mansion.
“Yes, I know!” Jin Ling understood and retreated.
Inside the room, Wei Yuewu sat down in front of the dressing table again. She picked up that hairpin and her long eyelids drooped, covering the pain in her eyes…
Doctor Ming stroked his beard with a hesitant expression. He looked like an expert, but in reality, he was carefully peeking at Marquis Hua Yang with his eyes. “Lord Marquis, your health conditions are fine. All you need to do is take good care of yourself. It’s just that…”
“Doctor Ming, please speak frankly!” Wei Luowen said with a calm expression.
There really wasn’t any other expression on his face. Doctor Ming’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. It seed that Marquis Hua Yang had always maintained such a calm expression ever since that beautiful woman passed away, and he almost never laughed loudly.
There wasn’t any sign of intense emotion on his face. Thinking of this, Doctor Ming’s heart tightened inexplicably, and he felt a chill running down his spine.
He laughed dryly twice before saying, “Lord Marquis, your health conditions are fine, but you need to take good care of yourself. I have so dicine here to treat your old injuries. Actually, after I heard that your old injuries recurred, I imdiately prepared it…”
Actually, he didn’t prepare this dicine by himself. He bought it from another pharmacy beforehand in case the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang asked him to treat Marquis Hua Yang. It was indeed so dicine for strengthening his body, but of course, the price he charged for this dicine was several tis higher than other pharmacies.
Although he had done such a thing before, he did not charge such a high price.
“Give it to the lad servant later! Please also instruct the lad servant on how to take the dicine!” Wei Luowen said casually, focusing on a book in front of him.
This ant he had accepted Doctor Ming’s dicine. As for the price of the dicine, of course, it was up to Doctor Ming. This also ant that he trusted Doctor Ming.
“Yes, Lord Marquis. Then I’ll take my leave!” Doctor Ming was overjoyed. He stood up and cupped his hands to Wei Luowen!
“Doctor Ming, please wait!” Wei Luowen suddenly raised his head. He looked at Doctor Ming and reached out his hand to stop him.
Under the gaze of that pair of cold eyes, Doctor Ming’s heart trembled. He inexplicably thought of another pair of ice-cold beautiful eyes. That pair of beautiful eyes seed to be able to pierce through people’s hearts. His face went pale in fear.
“Doctor Ming, did you feel the pulses of other family mbers of the mansion?” Wei Luowen frowned and asked after a while.
“Yes, I did!” Hearing that it wasn’t the problem he had imagined, Doctor Ming rejoiced in secret and answered with a smile.
“How… how is Yuewu’s health?” It seed that it had been too long since he had uttered this na, and it beca a little strange to him. As a result, Wei Luowen, who was used to seeing the bloodshed on the battlefield, stuttered for a mont.
“Sixth Young Lady’s health is fine, but … she’s still a little weaker than the other young ladies!” Finding that Wei Luowen wasn’t asking about the pills, Doctor Ming was completely relieved.
“Prenatal deficiency…”Wei Luowen said aningfully.
He stopped halfway in the sentence, but Doctor Ming understood everything. After Wei Yuewu was born, he treated her. How could he not know her health condition? He looked out of the window and saw a few guards guarding there. He knew that it was safe to speak, so he lowered his voice and said, “Lord Marquis, don’t worry, the Sixth Young Lady is in good health. If she isn’t stimulated, she won’t get sick!”
It was a secret that even the Madam Dowager did not know. The reason Doctor Ming did not dare to reveal this secret was that Wei Luowen had put a sword on his neck and told him that if anyone knew about this secret, his entire family would be buried with him. Therefore, although he was an associate of the Second Lady and Concubine Dong, he did not dare to tell them this secret!
He had kept this secret to himself. Although Concubine Dong and the others tried many tis, he did not utter a single word.
As long as Doctor Ming recalled the bloodthirsty look in Lord Marquis’s eyes at that ti, he knew that if he dared to reveal the secret, the sword would rcilessly stab at him.
“I don’t know what thod the old lady in that mansion used that she was able to help the Sixth Young Lady maintain a calm state for so many years. If there wasn’t any big fluctuation, the Sixth Young Lady would be fine!” Doctor Ming carefully reported to Wei Luowen.
This was his findings after checking Wei Yuewu’s pulse, and he hadn’t ntioned it to anyone.
“Thank you, Doctor Ming. You may go now!” Wei Luowen nodded and said slowly. His expression was very calm, but he still looked indifferent.
“Lord Marquis, it is my please to help!” Doctor Ming nodded his head vigorously. After thinking for a while, he said, “Lord Marquis, after Sixth Young Lady returned to the mansion, she was drugged with a dicine that would cause infertility, but the dosage was not heavy. The Fifth Young Lady was also drugged. Now, they are both fine.”
