Chapter 2405 Wang Ruile
The maid who led Manbao and the others wasn't afraid, but she also bowed her head and admitted her mistake. Manbao's expression softened a little, and she said to Madam Tang, "Please don't punish them. They won't give me snacks next time I come."
Madam Tang smiled and said to the two little girls, "Why don't you thank Miss Man quickly?"
The two little girls smiled and knelt down to greet Manbao. The maid who had been waiting beside them said with a smile: "Madam Tang, Master Zhou, our mistress is waiting inside. Please come in quickly——"
Mrs. Tang smiled and led Manbao in.
This is the guest house. The yard is not small, and the main house is naturally not small either. Manbao knows that Mrs. Tang would only arrange this guest house for very close or distinguished guests.
Madam Tang and Manbao laughed and said, "My sister is timid and has a saw-mouthed gourd. She is completely different from you. I told you, Brother Tang, two years ago that I would like you to meet her when you have time. If we accidentally become friends and she learns a little bit of your courage and cleverness, I will be very satisfied."
Then he pulled Manbao in to see Wang.
She was not lying on the bed, but sitting on a chair neatly dressed. When she saw her sister coming in with a strange young lady, combined with the words she had just heard vaguely, she knew that this was the world-famous Zhou Man.
So she leaned on the table and tried to stand up, and the maid beside her quickly reached out to help her...
Mrs. Tang took two quick steps forward, stepped forward and held her other hand, frowning and saying, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to lie down?"
Wang forced a smile and said gently, "I'm not tired. In fact, the medicine that Doctor Liu gave me is having some effect. Sister, you're making such a fuss. Why bother inviting Master Zhou?"
If it were someone else, Mrs. Tang would definitely say, "Do you think Zhou Man is easy to invite? I put in a lot of effort..."
But Mrs. Tang smiled at this cousin and said, "She's different from others. You don't know, we have a very good relationship. She calls your brother-in-law 'Senior Brother' and me 'Senior Sister-in-law'. We're like family. It's easier to hire her than other doctors."
Manbao also smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Tang introduced them, "You also know this Ms. Zhou. Her nickname is Manbao. You can call her that when you get close to each other."
Then he said to Manbao, "This is my sister from my mother's family. Her name is Ruile. If you like, you can call her Sister Ruile. If not, just call her Mrs. Wang."
Manbao smiled and called out "Sister Ruile".
Mrs. Tang was delighted to hear this, and she and her maid helped her sit down, "Come, let our Imperial Physician Zhou take a look at you."
Manbao sat down next to her and looked at her complexion first. He saw that her face was covered with powder, but the pale complexion underneath was still visible.
Man Bao took out the pulse pillow and checked her pulse, then stopped and said, "Sister, if you don't mind the trouble, please clean your face and take off the hairpins and rings. Let's go to the inner room to check. I want to take a look."
Wang Ruile had been examined by Assistant Doctor Liu several times, so he naturally knew how the examination was done. He blushed and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but still stood up with the help of the maid's hand and went to the inner room.
The servants in the house started to move, some fetching water, some looking for clothes.
Manbao noticed and found that the two girls who were supporting Wang Ruile at the beginning were the ones standing by. The one who had been supporting Wang Ruile went to find clothes, and the other one went to fetch water.
The maid who had just gone out to greet them in the yard stood by with a smile on her face, and now she personally served tea to Madam Tang, Zhou Man and others.
Manbao lowered his eyes, knowing what was going on.
Mrs. Tang also saw all of this.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with this before, after all, the maids and servants around her all had their own duties. But now looking closely, Xia He and Xia Cao who went out were both Ruile's dowry.
Mrs. Tang had a smile on her face, but there was not much smile in her eyes.
After the servants brought water for Wang Ruile to wash her face and took off her outer clothes, Manbao went in to see her.
She looked pale and haggard, and looked more than ten years older than she did with her delicate makeup. How could she be Mrs. Tang's sister? She must be Mrs. Tang's elder sister, right?
However, she has a gentle temperament that Mrs. Tang does not have, and she is very approachable.
Manbao stepped forward to feel her pulse again and began to ask in detail, "When did this metrorrhagia start?"
These questions were answered by the maids and the servant girls beside them. Because these questions had been asked by Assistant Doctor Liu before, the aunt beside them could explain them in detail without anyone having to supplement them.
But Manbao still waited for her answer before asking Wang Ruile, "Is that so?"
Wang Ruile nodded.
After Manbao learned about the current illness, he asked, "When was the last time something like this happened? What was the reason?"
The aunt beside her sighed and said, "My wife had a miscarriage half a year ago. At that time, she had some lochia that could not be stopped. Later, she took medicine for more than two months and it was cured..."
Manbao asked carefully, and finally asked: "How many times have you had miscarriages in total?"
My aunt replied respectfully, "Three times. Our wife is not in good health and cannot bear the baby."
Manbao carefully looked at Wang Ruile's expression. Seeing that she kept her eyes downcast and kept silent, he nodded and said, "Let me see."
After saying this, he said to the people in the room, "Except Sanniang, everyone else please leave."
Madam Tang stood up as she did last time, but after taking two steps, she looked at the aunt and the maid who were helping Wang Ruile change her clothes and said, "You can also leave. Leave this room to Master Zhou. She doesn't like to have strangers around when she's seeing a doctor."
"This..." The girl couldn't help but look up at her aunt beside her.
Auntie quickly said with a smile: "Madam Tang, we will stay and serve Madam. Madam is a little dirty, and it is not good to use Master Zhou's hands."
Manbao raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then said solemnly, "Step back."
The aunt choked, but because Zhou Man was the imperial physician and her face was stern, she did not dare to act rashly.
She hesitated for a moment, and Madam Tang frowned slightly, staring at her unkindly, "Why, you want to watch Doctor Zhou use the needle?"
The aunt then quickly agreed and bowed and retreated with the two maids.
They hid in the outer room with Mrs. Tang, but she could still hear the noise inside by standing by the screen and listening carefully.
Manbao and Liu Sanniang undressed her and examined her. Manbao reached out and pressed her abdomen, asking, "Does it hurt?"
Wang Ruile whispered, "It doesn't hurt."
"Are you feeling sore?"
Manbao touched for a long time, and then began to touch upwards along her bones. Liu Sanniang signaled Manbao with her eyes to look at the faint dark color, which was the color left by the old wound. This kind of scar must be an old wound left by a bone injury, and it should not be very long. According to her experience, it was about half a year.
