74 Chapter 74
◎Gynecological diseases◎
Cheng Mu's mind was aroused, and she didn't notice that Nanny Zhu had already taken off all her clothes and led her into the bathtub.
Nanny Zhu's eyes swept over Cheng Mei's pale body. "Madam Cheng, do you know about women's illnesses? Women's illnesses are caused by sexual problems. They are too embarrassed to talk about them, and it's difficult to treat them. Over time, they become depressed and pessimistic about the world."
Cheng Xi asked, "Do you remember the specific symptoms?"
Nanny Zhu believed that her eyes were quite sharp. After all, she had come into contact with many women with her skills, from eighty-year-old ladies to eight-month-old girls. She could tell at a glance whether a woman had given birth to a child or not. She heard that this Nanny Cheng had given birth to a pair of children, but her skin, waist and pelvis did not look like she had been pregnant at all.
"Madam Cheng has also given birth to a child," Nanny Zhu asked tentatively, "are there any residual problems?"
Cheng Mu poured water over herself. She didn't know what complications childbirth might bring, so she mumbled, "I'm fine. Could she be suffering from postpartum illness? A condition caused by giving birth to Mu Yun?"
Madam Zhu nodded. "There's a prolapsed mass in the □□. In severe cases, it's bleeding and pus-filled, and it can't be manually reduced. The doctor said Madam Rui is physically weak, her Qi is sinking, and the Chong and Ren meridians are unable to hold it together."
Could it be like this? Cheng Mu sighed. "The disease is in her stomach, so it's difficult to treat it." In just a few words, one could see the torment a woman endured. She was so unfortunate, suffering such trauma with her first child.
Nanny Zhu also added, "After all, it's rare for Madam Rui to have such a bad first child."
Mu Yun had asked Nanny Zhu to serve her, presumably because she trusted her. Nanny Zhu must have also told Mu Yun that his mother died of illness. So why did Mu Yun still doubt Wu Tao? Cheng Mu asked her, "Does Mu Yun know?"
"Oh, Madam Cheng, Master Yun is a man. How can I tell him this? Even Head Mu didn't know about it at the time. The doctors only felt his pulse and asked questions. It was only through my personal service that I found out."
Cheng Mu had a college classmate who got infected after going to a water park. She developed suspicious warts on her vagina. How the warts came about and why they hadn't healed, these two things alone tormented her for more than half a year. She was visibly drained of her energy, and that was even before modern medicine could fully explain the cause.
If Mu Yun's mother really had a gynecological disease that was inconvenient to tell others, then she couldn't tell Mu Yun's father or Mu Yun. She told Nanny Zhu, but Nanny Zhu couldn't do anything. Without a professional doctor to treat her, she suffered every day, and it was very likely that she became depressed because of this.
Without letting her soak for too long, Nanny Zhu wiped Cheng Mu's body and changed her into warm underwear.
"Madam Cheng, please eat first. I will cupping you later."
"Where's Mu Yun?"
"The headmaster wants to see Master Yun about something." Nanny Zhu took out the warm meat porridge from the food box and said, "It's just the right temperature to eat. Madam Cheng, please enjoy it."
On the other hand, Wu Tao went to find Mu Yun to find a better yard for Cheng Mu.
Wu Tao called him over, but he finally showed up after being called several times.
He walked in with a sullen face, holding a knife in his backhand. He threw the knife away and it hung steadily on the knife rack without shaking or clanking. He was handsome, especially the way he lifted his robe and sat down. He looked very much like his father who died early, but his temper was really... they were not comparable.
He hadn't shown any emotion since he came back, and his attitude towards her couldn't be described as good or bad, but he was uncooperative and difficult to deal with.
Wu Tao: "I'll have someone clean up the courtyard and move Madam Cheng to live in the courtyard over there."
Mu Yun: "No need."
"What's the point of living in your yard? Why don't you move to another yard?"
"No. I'll just stay outside."
Wu Tao suppressed his anger and didn't scold him. He had scolded him once a few years ago, and after scolding him, he ran away from home and stayed away for several years.
If I didn't have high hopes for him, I wouldn't be so angry.
When she first brought him back, everyone said that it was impossible to raise a half-grown child. Not only did she fail to raise him well, she actually made him a grudge.
Wu Tao's hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair. He was really good at hitting her wherever she was angry.
"The boss has nothing else to say. I'll go back first."
After he left, Wu Tao said to Steward He, "Did he ask Madam Zhu to serve him? Ask Madam Zhu to come over later."
At this time, a servant came to report, "Master, Master Zhi is back."
Wu Tao was shocked: "What!"
When Mu Yun ran away, Wu Zhi chased him to Puyang City, returning with a broken leg and begging his aunt to avenge him. Only then did Wu Tao realize their feud had reached a point of no return. To heal his leg and separate him from Mu Yun, he sent him to the distant Ruzhou. He had remained there peacefully for years, only sending gifts during festivals. Why did he return this year?
The heavy snow blocked the roads, making it difficult to come from Ruzhou.
Soon Wu Zhi came into the hall with two bodyguards.
After not seeing him for a few years, he had grown a lot taller and his physique was like that of a Wu family man, lean and slender, and there was nothing unusual about his walk. It seemed that his legs were really healed.
After the aunt and nephew finished chatting about family matters, Wu Tao asked when he had left Ruzhou. Wu Zhi replied honestly, "Last month, I was escorting an convoy to Tianma Town. I missed my aunt so much that I escorted her myself, intending to spend the New Year with her after I finished my business. Unexpectedly, we encountered heavy snow, so we had to stop and go along the way. It took me two days to finish my business, but I finally made it."
"Coming from Tianma Town?"
"Yes, I should have written to my aunt in advance to let her know. But the heavy snow has not stopped, and it is not convenient to bring a letter to her."
"It's been many years since we last met. Why don't you stay at home for a few days before setting off again?" Since the guests had arrived, Wu Tao ordered the servants to clean the courtyard.
"Yes." Wu Zhi lowered his head, hiding the thoughts in his eyes.
After settling the people, He Guanshi came back to report to Wu Tao.
Wu Tao asked, "He asked about Mu Yun?"
"He wants to go to Young Master Yun's courtyard. He must have known that Young Master Yun has returned to the escort agency."
"Don't let them meet for now. Arrange someone to check as soon as possible to find out when Zhi'er arrived in Yunzhou City. Is it just as he said?"
"yes."
When Mu Yun returned to the courtyard, Cheng Mu had already finished eating for a while.
Nanny Zhu said to Mu Yun, "Mr. Yun, you have taken the porridge and medicine, and you can start cupping anytime."
"Then let's get started."
Nanny Zhu and Cheng Mu were on the kang in the inner room, and Mu Yun was in the outer room, talking through the cotton curtain. Mu Yun instructed Nanny Zhu according to the doctor's instructions, and after a while Nanny Zhu reported back about the reaction to the cupping.
Cheng Mu lay on the soft mattress with her inner clothes pulled down to her waist.
Nanny Zhu first found the acupuncture points, lit the fire and burned the vacuum with great skill. Soon, bamboo cups were placed on several large acupuncture points.
Nanny Zhu pulled it and sucked it very hard.
"Madam Cheng, does it hurt?"
"It's okay." It's tolerable.
Nanny Zhu covered her smooth, bare back with her padded jacket.
Madam Cheng fell asleep lying on her stomach.
After packing up her things, Nanny Zhu covered her with a quilt, lifted the cotton curtain and went out.
Mu Yun looked at her expression, and Nanny Zhu gestured for her to move further away to talk.
They came out together and walked to the edge of the yard.
Mu Yun asked: "How?"
"The cupping marks are black and purple, the toxins have been extracted. Madam Cheng has fallen asleep. Drink another bowl of medicine after you wake up."
Mu Yun felt relieved, "Thank you, Aunt Zhu."
"It's something that's convenient for me to help with. Master Yun, you can rest assured that Madam Cheng will recover soon."
"Um."
Nanny Zhu hesitated to speak, and Mu Yun asked, "Is there anything else? Feel free to speak frankly."
"Master Yun, I heard that Madam Cheng is a widow with a twin daughter?"
Thinking of Xiaoliu's origin, Mu Yun was stunned for a moment. Everyone thought that Xiaoliu was also Cheng Mu's daughter, so he didn't want to expose it, so he nodded and said yes.
"When Master Yun met Madam Cheng, had she given birth?"
Mu Yun shook his head.
Nanny Zhu asked again, "Was Master Yun nearby when Madam Cheng gave birth?"
It was on the way from Puyang City to Zhaojia Village that we encountered a tiger. Mu Yun nodded again.
Nanny Zhu asked, "Did you hire a midwife?"
Mu Yun shook his head: "Not at home, I was on the road."
"On the way?" Nanny Zhu was surprised, then understood. "So you mean you didn't see Master Yun in person?"
This...how could he witness such a thing with his own eyes?
"Why does Mammy ask about the past?"
Nanny Zhu pondered for a long time, still looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. "This matter...this kind of thing, maybe I am shortsighted."
This old woman was actually keeping things a secret. Mu Yun couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Could it be that my sister-in-law's illness is related to childbirth?"
"Young Master, please calm down," Nanny Zhu said before he could lose his temper. "Just now, I was helping Madam Cheng wash and groom herself. I felt that Madam Cheng's body didn't look like she had been pregnant before, so I wanted to confirm it with you. I've seen many women who have given birth, but none of them look like Madam Cheng."
What does her body look like? Mu Yun's heart was burning. He suppressed his thoughts and said angrily, "How many women have you met that dare to speculate about her like this!"
"It was my fault for speaking carelessly. Please forgive me, sir!"
After Nanny Zhu left, Mu Yun looked into the inner chamber. He had never doubted his sister-in-law's childbirth, but now he was seriously considering it. It had happened so suddenly that day. She had disappeared from his sight within a quarter of an hour before giving birth. The tiger's appearance had almost made him forget that Xiao Qi's belly button was black at the time. If the umbilical cord had just been severed, how could it be a dry blood color? Besides, how had the umbilical cord been severed?
He didn't see her belly at first glance, but when she turned around and adjusted herself, he saw the shape of her belly again.
Also, she insisted that she had no milk, and no matter what Yu Nai said, she refused to try to breastfeed...
The more Mu Yun thought about it, the hotter his face became. Now looking at all these, they were all suspicious.
Manager He brought Nanny Zhu to Wu Tao.
Wu Tao sat with Huang Nian'an in the reception room. "Doctor Liu from Gu'an Hall came to see her, prescribed medicine, and taught her external treatment methods. Nanny Zhu is here to serve her. Nanny Zhu, please come here. Master Huang is here to visit. Please tell him about Madam Cheng's condition."
Nanny Zhu greeted him and explained Dr. Liu's diagnosis and her cupping experience. "Madam Cheng just drank the medicine and went to bed."
Wu Tao said to Huang Nian'an, "Madam Cheng has caught a cold and is weak. She didn't receive timely treatment, which is why she has become like this. Don't worry, Master Huang. Doctor Liu is a highly skilled doctor. Our escort agency will be happy to provide any herbs she needs. With our careful care, Madam Cheng will be well again soon."
"The boss is kind-hearted, and I, Huang, thank you very much. The government office will be closed after tomorrow, so I will come back."
"I'll take Master Huang out."
Wu Tao walked out with Huang Nian'an and happened to meet Mu Yun who was about to go out. Wu Tao wanted to introduce Mu Yun to Mr. Huang, but Mu Yun had no awareness of having a good relationship with the government. Not only was he not enthusiastic, but his face was sullen. "Mr. Huang came quite quickly, but it was an unfortunate coincidence."
