Chapter 202: Famous Doctor
Hu Xin'er was at a loss as to what to do, but the man behind her smiled and said, "Greetings, Miss Jiang. I'm a clerk at the newly opened pastry shop, and I've come to deliver some Meixiang Pills."
Hu Xiner was about to explain to him, but saw Doctor Dou blink cunningly, then took out a pill from the medicine box.
She immediately understood that Doctor Dou had already seen through Mrs. Lu's illness!
Doctor Dou respectfully presented the pills, "Your sister tried our Meixiang Pills and said you would like them too. But she didn't dare buy them herself, so she brought me here to give them to you to try."
After these words were spoken, Mrs. Lu's expression immediately eased, but there was still doubt in her eyes: "Humph, who knows if Yao'er was colluding with you to deceive me?"
I didn’t expect that Dr. Dou, who looked like a very honest and steady man, actually had some talent in acting.
He was very good at treating crazy patients, and he coaxed and tricked Mrs. Lu into taking a pill.
After Mrs. Lu finished eating, she wanted to continue nagging, but her eyelids drooped and she fell into a deep sleep.
The maid who came from behind exclaimed, quickly caught Mrs. Lu, and then looked at Doctor Dou with vigilance.
Hu Xin'er hurriedly said, "This is the doctor I hired, specially to treat Mother and Young Master. Please carry Mother into the room first."
The servants worked together to lift Madam Lu up. Four of Madam Lu's personal maids told Hu Xin'er, "After her nap today, the old lady suddenly became unconscious. Her memory went back to when she was waiting to be married. She said she felt empty inside, as if she hadn't seen Miss Jiang Yao for a long time, and she had been waiting at the door."
Although they are called personal maids, two of them are actually old enough to be nannies. They have been accompanying Mother Lu for so many years.
By this point, they were already in tears. "Don't blame me, Madam. We used to be best friends with Miss Jiang Yao. Now the Jiang family has become a wasteland, and Miss Jiang Yao is nowhere to be found. It's really hard for us, the old lady, to be left alone!"
Hu Xin'er listened with a bitter feeling in her heart: "Mom still has me, and you old sisters are still here! I will definitely cure Mom and my husband."
As they were talking, they arrived at Lu's mother's room.
After taking the pulse of Lu's mother lying on the bed, Doctor Dou began to ask about her condition.
Hu Xin'er thought for a moment and said, "My mother suffered a trauma a few years ago, and then my husband disappeared. Her condition has been fluctuating since then. She suddenly became lucid a few days ago, but unexpectedly, she became mentally disturbed again today."
Doctor Dou said succinctly, "In other words, Madam Lu will go crazy if she is not stimulated by the outside world."
"Who do you think is going crazy?" The maids who were crying beside them said angrily in unison.
Doctor Dou was shocked: "That's not what I meant. I just said that this disease is recorded as madness."
"Doctor Dou, could you please be more tactful in your words?" Hu Xin'er felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, but as the hostess, she still stopped the maids and spoke in a very gentle tone.
"Okay, let's talk about her mental illness." Doctor Dou thought to himself that it was really troublesome to treat illnesses in rich families. The maids were more arrogant than ordinary rich masters.
As a professional doctor, he quickly put these random thoughts aside and thought: "This disease is quite serious. I am afraid I can't treat it."
This time the maids were silent, their eyes dimmed.
How could they not know this? At the invitation of the eldest princess, all the imperial doctors in the palace came to see her, but they said that the old lady's illness was the same as the young master's, both of which were mental illnesses and they could not cure them.
The room fell silent for a moment. Doctor Dou uttered an "uh," "I'm not saying the old lady is hopeless. My master is an expert in treating madness. You can go and see him."
When he said this, he looked at Hu Xiner with a very frank expression.
"May I ask who your master is?" Hu Xiner couldn't help but have a fantasy. Could it be that this doctor's master is an otherworldly master?
Doctor Dou mentioned a name that no one present had heard of. He rubbed his hands and said, "Do you have a pen and paper? I'll write down his address. When you get there, just tell me my name and explain the old lady's condition."
This was the only hope at the moment, so Hu Xiner hurriedly asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Next, I went to see Mu Qing.
When Doctor Dou saw the person on the bed, he quickly took two steps forward.
Hu Xin'er was a little surprised: "Doctor Dou, have you found anything?"
"Oh, no." Doctor Dou scratched his head sheepishly. "I used to be a coroner for a while, and I've never seen such a good bone structure."
Everyone choked.
The servants exchanged glances: Why is this doctor brought back by the young lady so strange?
Hu Xin'er was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it so as not to add psychological pressure to Dr. Dou.
She continued, "Yes, my husband is the most handsome man in the capital. His appearance, skin tone, and even his temperament are all unparalleled!"
Doctor Dou said cheerfully, "Young Madam, you have good taste!"
The conversation between the two men diluted the tense and sad atmosphere in the room.
Doctor Dou removed his fingers from Mu Qing's wrist, frowning, feeling quite ashamed. "My benefactor, I'm truly sorry. Your husband can't wake up because of a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. I can't help you much except prescribing some medicine!"
This remark gave Hu Xiner some inspiration. Mu Qing's biggest concern was his own life experience.
Jiang Yao, who raised him since he was a child, turned out not to be his biological mother, and he lost his lover because he was hunted by Lu's father.
The entire Jiang family was destroyed because of his unlucky twin son, who was killed by Lu's father in the name of a clean and upright family.
His real mother had been separated from him since childhood, and had become insane because of his stimulation.
His biological brother Lu Yunjue died at the hands of the men in black in order to protect him.
And he actually replaced Lu Yunjue's face and identity!
…
If Mrs. Lu could be cured first, perhaps it would help to ease his worries a little and wake him up?
Her eyes lit up: "Doctor Dou, can you accompany me to find your master?"
Unexpectedly, Doctor Dou looked embarrassed. "I am dull in talent, and my master has retired. He once said that after I leave the mountain, I must never reveal that I am his disciple. Giving my benefactor my address would be considered a violation of my oath..."
Seeing that he couldn't be forced, Hu Xiner had no choice but to go to his master according to the address given by Doctor Dou.
The address was a small hill in the suburbs of Beijing. I climbed to the top of the hill breathlessly before I saw any people.
A kind-looking old man was sitting at the door, fanning himself. He was Doctor Dou's master.
After hearing the purpose of Hu Xiner's visit, he generously offered to go with her to see a doctor.
Then he asked about some more symptoms and asked Hu Xiner to wait while he went to pack the medicine box.
Hu Xiner followed him into the small house, and while waiting, her attention was attracted by a painting on the wall.
Because the master's house was bare, except for the exquisitely framed paintings, which were out of place in the room.
