Xu Lanyin smiled and said slowly, "I'm not lying to you, it's true. However, if he sees you making such a fuss, he'll laugh at you. Calm down and make yourself beautiful, more beautiful than any other woman..."
She spoke slowly and softly, which was soothing to hear.
That "he" must have married or been engaged to another woman, which is why Hu Yi was so upset. Xu Lanyin said that she was more beautiful than all other women, and Hu Yi really listened to her and didn't struggle as hard as before.
The maid brought some calming soup.
Xu Lanyin took it and fed Hu Yi herself, "Drink this bowl of medicine and you will calm down."
Mrs. Hu was not happy about it and asked, "What medicine did you give Yi'er?"
Hong Zhen hurriedly said, "It's a tranquilizing soup."
Mrs. Hu did not stop it.
After Hu Yi drank it, the medicine took effect. She was physically and mentally exhausted from the previous commotion, so she stopped struggling and her eyes became blurred.
Xu Lanyin took out a small purse from her bosom, shook it left and right in front of her eyes, and said softly, "Look at the purse, look at it, isn't the embroidered flower beautiful..."
Xu Lanyin spoke, neither letting Hu Yi wake up nor letting her fall asleep completely. Her voice was soft and very magical.
Hu Yi stared at the purse for more than half a minute, his eyes becoming more and more distracted.
Xu Lanyin was hypnotizing Hu Yi. Generally, people with mental illnesses aren't suitable for hypnosis because their minds are muddled and they can't concentrate. Furthermore, she had just had an attack and was highly agitated, so she had to drink some tranquilizing soup to calm her down. Furthermore, Xu Lanyin knew her every thought and spoke to her deepest heart, so the hypnosis was truly successful.
Xu Lanyin was secretly delighted. She stood up and said softly, "If you are not important, please leave. I need to ask you some private questions."
Only Xu Lanyin, Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu were left in the room. Everyone else had left. Fearing that Hu Yi might suddenly go crazy, Mrs. Hu stood at a distance.
Hong Zhen, Zhao Wu and Xu Lanzhou were all curious about what Xu Lanyin would do next. Although they had left the house, they still stood at the door and listened to the movements inside.
After Xu Lanyin consoled Hu Yi for a few more words, she softly asked, "Who is that guy?"
Hu Yi shook his head and said, "I can't tell you. My mother will be sad and cry if I tell her."
Xu Lanyin asked again, "Did he say he wanted to marry you?"
Tears welled up in Hu Yi's closed eyes as she murmured, "He held my hand and said he wanted to marry me. After returning to Beijing, he sent someone to my house to propose marriage..."
Xu Lanyin asked again, "Then he married someone else?"
Hu Yi's tone became hurried, and he spoke incoherently, "He married someone else, he doesn't want me anymore... I want to forget him, Xin Da Ge, I want to forget you... I dare not say it, I dare not say it, I don't want to make my mother sad..."
The sound became weaker and weaker, and he fell asleep.
Mrs. Hu covered her mouth with her hands and cried, "How could it be him? That bastard, that damned bastard, what did he do to Yi'er..."
Xu Lanyin didn't want to ask any more questions. In ancient times, if a girl was touched by a man, her reputation would be ruined.
Mrs. Hu was also shocked. She suppressed her emotions, took Mrs. Hu's hand and said, "Second Aunt, I will ask my father to go back and settle the score with Hong Xin and give Sister Yi an explanation."
Mrs. Hu shook off Hu's hand and cried, "An explanation? My Yi'er has been ruined by him, how can he explain? Is it possible that he can divorce his wife and marry Yi'er? If he wants Yi'er to be his concubine, I would rather beat her to death."
Mrs. Hu murmured, unable to speak. Neither she nor her husband could afford to offend Hong Xin. Hong Xin's wife's family was even more beyond her husband's reach. How could she have the ability to make him divorce his wife and marry Hu Yi?
Hong Xin was the fourth legitimate son of the Pingjin Marquis's family. He had lived with Hong Zhen for a while at the end of last year and married his long-betrothed wife this spring. It was unknown when he and Hu Yi had gotten together, but he had left and left Hu Yi in such a state.
At this moment, Hong Zhen walked in. He bowed deeply to Mrs. Hu and said, "Second Aunt, I'm sorry. Sister Yi is my sister too. I will definitely return to Beijing to settle accounts with Hong Xin. Even if it means sacrificing my future, I will beat him to a pulp and ask for an explanation from Master Bo." He added, "A man like him, even if Sister Yi marries him, she's putting the wrong trust in him, let alone being his concubine..."
Mrs. Hu sat in a chair, crying bitterly.
Mrs. Hu said embarrassedly, "Second Aunt, let's first find a way to cure Sister Yi's illness, and then find an honest young man for her to marry."
Mrs. Hu cried, "If this illness gets out, Yier's reputation will be ruined. How will she get married in the future? Besides, her illness is hysteria, which is incurable."
In ancient times, all people with mental disorders were called hysterics.
Hu Yide's condition was indeed hysteria, also known in modern times as dissociative conversion disorder. It is a mental disorder caused by psychological factors, such as life events, inner conflicts, suggestion, or self-suggestion, acting on susceptible individuals...
If I had known her earlier and received psychological intervention earlier, she would not have developed this disease.
Xu Lanyin looked at Hong Zhen and Hu, who were at a loss and full of guilt, and Hu Yi, who was asleep. The little girl was only fourteen years old and had a childish face.
She wanted to help them.
The little girl didn't easily say "Brother Xin", indicating that her symptoms were not very serious and she subconsciously knew to suppress her emotions. I knew the cause of her illness, so I provided her with psychological treatment, allowing her to vent her emotions, and combined with herbal medicine, she could still be cured.
Xu Lanyin said, "Mrs. Hu, do you believe me? I said that Miss Hu has the possibility of being cured." She didn't dare to say it with certainty.
Mrs. Hu looked up and realized that this girl had the ability to calm her frantic daughter down and make her confess the ugly things she had been holding in her heart and unwilling to say...
She stood up, grabbed Xu Lanyin and said, "Miss Xu, what method did you use just now? Can you really cure Yi'er? If you can cure her, I will definitely thank you very much."
Hong Zhen and Mrs. Hu, who had been shocked by what happened to Hu Yi and Hong Xin, recalled the incredible scene. Mrs. Hu said, "If Sister Xu can cure this disease, please help. I will remember your kindness."
Hong Zhen also said, "Miss Xu, please help if you can."
Xu Lanyin said, "As long as you listen to me, there is a possibility of recovery, or at least the symptoms can be greatly alleviated."
Mrs. Hu immediately said, "As long as Yi'er's illness can be cured, I'm willing to do anything."
Xu Lanyin said, "Miss Hu's illness is only in the early stages. Today is her first attack, right?" Seeing Mrs. Hu nod, she continued, "I read in a book that hysteria is a mental disorder caused by long-term repression. To treat this disease, you need to find the triggering cause, then find ways to relieve psychological pressure, provide comfort and encouragement, and then use herbal medicine. We already know the triggering cause... This process may be short or long. Her family must care for her and be patient. Don't be impatient..."
The ancients also understood psychotherapy, but it was not as scientific and standardized as it is today.
