"But what's wrong with these treatment methods?"
Xu Zhen's voice was tinged with anxiety.
Ruan Meng stood up and chuckled, "How could the renowned doctor whom you, sir, have so carefully invited be someone without medical ethics?"
Seeing this, Xu Zhen became even more respectful.
Ruan Meng stopped keeping her in suspense, "The master takes the lady's illness very seriously, perhaps that's the reason."
"The adults have too high expectations, and the doctors are worried that if they don't achieve the desired results, they'll offend them..."
Therefore, gentle treatment methods were adopted.
“If she can’t walk, how can she be easily treated? But if we use strong medicine and acupuncture, it will either be risky or the lady will not be able to bear it.”
"Prescribing mild and nourishing medicine is always beneficial to the body and can slow down the deterioration of the condition. This is why the wife's condition has been slow to worsen despite being bedridden for many years."
Xu Yan glanced at the lady, his voice tinged with doubt, "How do you know, young lady?"
Ruan Meng chuckled and waved the prescription in her hand. "Isn't it clear now? What else needs to be explained?"
"If I can see it, I don't believe that other doctors wouldn't notice anything amiss when they looked at the lady's previous prescriptions or medicine packets?"
Xu Zhen: "But the prescriptions are all different..."
Ruan Meng chuckled, "Of course, they are all prescriptions for tonifying the kidneys and replenishing qi. Whether to add angelica or anemarrhena, yellow and white or atractylodes, bitter orange or ginseng, there are many prescriptions. But once you see one ingredient, you can tell the doctor's intention."
"The other doctors all maintained this tacit understanding and prescribed prescriptions that nourished the body and boosted energy, which would ultimately be beneficial to the lady's health."
"I won't be blamed, nor will I harm the doctor in front of me."
The person on the recliner suddenly made a faint sound.
"Why, young lady, do you not intend to continue doing this?"
"That way, I won't offend my husband, will I?"
Ruan Mengchao nodded, her voice frank, "I have no reputation and don't care about my future."
"Furthermore, my main purpose in explaining this is not to belittle others and elevate myself. I am not that arrogant!"
"Their prescriptions are indeed ingenious, nourishing the body while minimizing side effects, and there is much I can learn from them."
"What I was just about to say is that the cause of this situation is largely due to the adults."
Xu Zhen sighed deeply and did not refute.
The woman had a gentle expression and seemed to understand Ruan Meng's intentions.
Ruan Meng continued, "Because what I'm about to say is to the adults!"
“I have a way to alleviate it, but I’m not entirely sure I can, but madam, you may have to suffer a bit.”
"Madam has been taking medicine for so many years, and unless it is highly poisonous, it will not have much effect on her. But if it is highly poisonous, her body may not be able to withstand it."
"Therefore, I wanted to try acupuncture and leg techniques to stimulate acupoints for chronic ailments, thereby promoting limb reflexes..."
"Pain is inevitable, and the effect is uncertain; it can be seen in two or three days."
"But if you, sir, are too eager to achieve results, I will abandon this idea for now. Also, we must consider the lady's wishes and whether she is mentally prepared to endure pain."
Xu Zhen grasped the woman's hand tightly. Seeing her weakly nod, he slowly said, "Husband, it's alright. I'm not afraid of pain; I'm only afraid of being a burden to you for too long..."
Xu Zhen looked up at Ruan Meng and asked, "How confident are you, young lady?"
Ruan Meng shook her head, "I won't answer that, sir. But I can guarantee that I will minimize any harm to Madam's current health."
Xu Zhen understood the implication: the worst that could happen was just this!
Without further hesitation, he nodded immediately.
Ruan Meng truthfully replied, "I don't know if Young Master Sun has told you about my family's situation?"
"I cannot stay long. I can treat your wife here for three days. If my treatment proves effective, I will leave behind the prescription and the key points of acupuncture or massage. You can take someone back and ask them to do it."
"It won't interfere with your duties, and you don't need a highly skilled doctor. As long as you can recognize the acupoints and are familiar with acupuncture, the cost won't be too high."
Sun Chengen spoke calmly from outside the door.
"My lord, I can arrange the personnel."
