Chapter 2404 Miscarriage
Madam Tang asked the Liu family's servant to deliver a letter. When Manbao received it, he stood up and said, "I'll take Liru and leave first. You guys can continue playing."
Liu Huan had just sobered up a bit and was pinching his nose to drink the hard-to-drink hangover soup. He looked up at her and said, "So early? You're not going to have dinner before you leave? Aren't you going straight back to the Royal Manor tonight?"
Manbao waved his hand and said, "I have a patient to see. I don't have time for dinner. You guys go have fun."
Liu Huan could only be disappointed, "Okay."
Bai Shan sent Man Bao out the door and asked, "Just the two of you going?"
"I will go back home to pick up Sanniang. According to Madam Tang, Sanniang has been to see the doctor before, but it didn't work very well. This time, it's a good opportunity to bring her along."
Bai Shan nodded and sent the person to the courtyard where the carriages and horses were parked.
Mrs. Tang was already waiting in the car. Seeing Bai Shan coming over, she smiled and said, "You even specially sent her here. What? Do you think I could have kidnapped her?"
Bai Shan bowed and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you to take her home later. There are some things at home that I need her to bring back."
This was because she was afraid that she would take up too much of Zhou Man's time and delay her return to the imperial farm.
Mrs. Tang agreed with a smile and said happily, "Don't worry, I will definitely send the person back to you safely."
Mrs. Tang had sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu the doctor in advance, so when the Tang family's carriage arrived at the side door of Zhou's house, they knocked on the door, and soon Liu Sanniang came out carrying a medicine box.
Manbao asked her, "Isn't today a day off?"
"No, it's just that I had a class at the Imperial Physician's Office today, and I could leave after that. So I didn't go back to the palace, and went straight home."
Today was the Liu family banquet. Although it was not a day off, there were still many people absent from work or taking leave to go drink. Because there were so many people, the palace seemed a little deserted. She didn't have any work to do, so she went home first.
Manbao nodded, glanced at her medicine box and asked, "Have you brought everything?"
"Yes, I have everything."
Manbao leaned against the wall of the car and asked, "Now that you have seen the patient, tell me about her condition."
Liu Sanniang was startled, and looked hesitantly at Mrs. Tang who was sitting next to her, feeling a little embarrassed.
Manbao also turned to look at Madam Tang. After a while, he leaned over and asked Liu Sanniang, "What's the privacy?"
Liu Sanniang was helpless and lowered her voice, "Master, this illness of mine is a secret disease, so..."
Mrs. Tang smiled slightly and said, "I know. My sister told me everything."
She turned to look at Manbao, "I've already told Manbao about this. She had lochia that wouldn't stop after her miscarriage. It was originally cured, but she hadn't had her period for two or three months. She thought she was pregnant again, but the doctors she consulted were either unsure or negative. Then an old doctor prescribed some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine, but it was so bad the moment she took it, it was like a hemorrhage. She used less medicine later, but the lochia kept coming, as if it was trying to drain all the blood out of her body."
Manbao had only heard her say that she had persistent lochia, but he didn't know that she had also taken blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine. His first instinct was to turn around and ask Liu Sanniang, "Did she have a miscarriage?"
"No," Liu Sanniang whispered, "I've looked carefully and she's not pregnant. I also looked at the prescription and pulse history written by the previous old doctor and didn't see any problems. It seems that her body was damaged during the previous miscarriage, so..."
Liu Sanniang paused and whispered, "Master, she must have had miscarriages at least three times."
Not to mention Manbao, Mrs. Tang was startled and her voice was split, "What?"
Liu Sanniang stopped talking.
Mrs. Tang's face turned pale with anger. She asked Liu Sanniang, "Did she say that?"
Liu Sanniang said, "The Madam and the maidservants she served said it was three times, but I think it was more than that."
She said to Manbao, "I asked her carefully, but she doesn't remember very clearly what happened a few years ago. However, the maidservants around her remember that she had a lot of bleeding during her period six years ago. But they said that Madam Wang's periods were always irregular, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, so they didn't pay much attention to it."
Manbao asked, "Does she have any children?"
"Yes," Liu Sanniang said, "there is a young man, seven years old this year."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was not a simple habitual miscarriage, there must be some external cause.
Liu Sanniang lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
But Madam Tang's sharp eyes were not to be hidden. She glanced at Liu Sanniang and asked, "Assistant Doctor Liu, is there anything else you're hiding?"
Assistant Doctor Liu smiled and said, "Mrs. Tang, the rest is the patient's privacy. If you want to know, you can only ask the patient."
She was able to talk about her three miscarriages because it was something that would eventually become unavoidable and would have to be recorded in the pulse record.
Because she believed that the patient's current condition was due to multiple miscarriages in the past.
Mrs. Tang forced a smile and nodded, "Yes, thank you Doctor Liu for your help."
When they arrived at the Tang Mansion, Mrs. Tang left first, giving the space to the three of them, the master and the apprentice. She knew that Assistant Doctor Liu must have something important that he had not said.
Sure enough, after Madam Tang left, Liu Sanniang whispered to Manbao, "Even though she didn't tell me when asked, I noticed some old injuries on her body, and some of her bones were broken. To me, they look like internal injuries from being kicked or beaten."
Manbao's face darkened, "Have you asked?"
"I asked, but both she and the maids around her insisted that she had no injuries. They said she had fallen a few times because the road was slippery in the snow. But I looked carefully and found that some of her injuries were not caused by falls at all."
Liu Sanniang also reminded him, "Master, there are two aunts and two maids around her who are always keeping a close eye on me. However, the two maids she brought with her as a dowry have always wanted me to be alone with her, but I never had the chance."
Manbao snorted and said, "You're really courting death, trying to play tricks on others in the Tang Mansion."
Manbao warned the two of them, "When you go in later, calm down and pretend you know nothing."
Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru agreed together, then they looked at Manbao's face and asked, "Master, are you not restraining yourself?"
Man Bao said with a sullen face, "Why should I be restrained? This is called official authority, you know? Look at the senior officials in the court, how many of them smile at people? This is called official authority!"
After saying this, she went to see Madam Wang with a gloomy face. As she entered the courtyard, the servants who came out to greet her were startled and moved more cautiously. As they were kneeling to greet her, Manbao asked, "Where is the patient? Where is Mrs. Tang Xue?"
"Here it is," Madam Tang, who had regained her composure, walked in with a smile and took Manbao's hand, saying, "I gave you and your disciple time to talk. I was thinking of inviting you to the main hall for tea first, but you came straight here. Those little rascals who led you were so ignorant that they neglected you. I'll punish them later."
See you at 9pm
