Chapter 230 The Madam’s Illness (7)
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, their eyes almost looking through the tightly closed door, suddenly, they heard a slight "creak" sound, and the door of the room was slowly pushed open.
Zhu Qingqing walked out briskly, her face showing a hint of fatigue, but more of a look of relief. She quickly walked up to Zhu's father and said softly, "Dad, we've done our best to handle it. The eldest lady is fine now. Now we'll leave it to you. Please prescribe a health-preserving prescription so that the eldest lady can recover well."
Father Zhu nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then he said, "Okay, no problem. I'll go check the eldest lady's pulse and understand the specific situation before making a decision." After that, he walked towards the inner room.
At this moment, the old doctor who had been sitting quietly by the side suddenly stood up, his face showing an earnest expression. He bowed to Zhu's father and asked, "Doctor Zhu, may I be allowed to come in and take a look? I'd like to learn from your superb medical skills."
Mr. Zhu nodded readily and agreed, "Of course, let's come in and take a look together." So the two of them walked into the inner room side by side.
At this moment, the servants who were waiting for news outside the house were all very excited when they heard the good news that the eldest lady was safe and sound. Some of them couldn't wait to turn around and run to tell the old lady and the second lady the good news.
After a while, the second wife hurried over, supporting the old lady. When they entered the inner room, they happened to see the old doctor concentrating on taking the first wife's pulse.
After a moment, the old doctor released his hand, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, Madam's pulse is now stable, and she is no longer in the critical condition she was in before. Doctor Chen, you are truly a skilled doctor!"
Mother Zhu humbly waved her hand and replied with a smile, "You're too kind. I'm just a female doctor, so I might be more convenient than male doctors in some areas. But I'm not as good as you at prescribing medicine."
The old doctor nodded slightly in agreement.
Indeed, as a male doctor, it is not very convenient for women to give birth.
He slowly took a few steps back, extended his hand to invite Mr. Zhu, and the two of them walked to a corner of the room and began to discuss in a low voice how to write the prescription.
On the other side, Mother Zhu carefully picked up the wooden basin filled with blood and stains, walked to the worried old lady and the nervous second wife, and pointed at the shocking blood stains in the basin.
The old lady and the second wife only glanced at the wooden basin briefly before quickly turning their heads away, as if even one more glance would be unbearable for them. The old lady even chanted "Amitabha" silently in her heart to calm her heart, which was pounding with worry.
The old lady looked at the eldest wife lying on the bed, and finally couldn't suppress her inner anxiety. She asked Mother Zhu, "Doctor Chen, I wonder how my eldest daughter-in-law is doing now? Is she okay?"
Mother Zhu quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, old lady. The eldest lady has always been in good health. Although she was injured this time, it's nothing serious. As long as she can carefully recuperate for a period of time, she will definitely be able to fully recover."
Hearing Mother Zhu's words, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to herself, "That's good, that's good... Thank God! Doctor Chen, you are truly a great benefactor to our Yang family! If it weren't for your superb medical skills and timely rescue, I'm afraid my eldest daughter-in-law would have lost her life!"
Mother Zhu smiled and waved her hand, saying modestly, "You're too kind, old lady. Healing and saving lives is my duty as a doctor. However, the smell of blood in this room is quite strong. I'd like to ask someone to quickly clear out this wooden basin. Also, when Madam wakes up, please bring some hot water, give her a thorough wash, and change her into clean, tidy clothes. Also, please change all the bedding. We must ensure Madam recuperates in a comfortable, clean environment. Finally, please arrange for someone to stay by her side at all times. If she develops a fever or has any other unusual symptoms, please notify us immediately."
Mother Zhu solemnly explained various matters that needed attention, emphasizing, "It's particularly important that the First Lady not be informed of the twin pregnancy. She's just experienced such a devastating loss. If she were to learn that she'd lost a pair of fetuses, she wouldn't be able to bear the immense grief! It would not only be extremely detrimental to her emotional recovery, but would also severely affect her physical recovery."
Everyone nodded in agreement with what Mother Zhu had said. Indeed, the miscarriage had already been heartbreaking for the First Lady. If the truth were known, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, everyone silently prayed that no word would leak out.
At this moment, the old lady, who had been silent till then, finally spoke. She nodded slightly, turned her gaze to the Second Madam beside her, and said in a firm tone, "This matter is of no small importance and must be strictly guarded against. Send word immediately and warn everyone in the mansion that anyone who dares to spread this news or gossip about it will be dragged out and beaten to death upon discovery! I want to see who dares to say another word."
The Second Lady quickly agreed, then summoned Xiu Gu and Zhang Mama into the house and carefully explained the relevant matters to them. They listened respectfully, nodding their heads to show their understanding. When the Second Lady had finished her instructions, Zhang Mama personally picked up the wooden basin filled with blood and carefully left the room.
Meanwhile, Xiu Gu quickly summoned two strong maids and led them into the inner chamber to carefully tend to the First Lady. Meanwhile, Father Zhu and the experienced doctor deliberated and finally devised a detailed prescription. They also prepared several additional dietary recipes to help the First Lady quickly recover.
After everything was arranged, Father Zhu handed the precious prescriptions, along with the other necessary items, to Mother Zhang, instructing her to ensure that the herbs were prepared as instructed. Mother Zhang nodded solemnly in agreement and then turned to leave to carry out her mission.
