Chapter 2529 Inquiry
Madam Mei was skeptical. "Can I really get pregnant again after having an abortion? And if I do, will he always be in the palace?"
Manbao couldn't give her any guarantee. It should be said that doctors cannot give patients absolute guarantees for most diseases.
Even for common diseases like cold and cough, it is possible that a person may not be cured after a long period of treatment and may die directly, let alone an uncommon disease like Mei Niangzi's?
Since this was a matter of life and death, Manbao turned around and looked at Mr. Mei, who was most likely to agree with her judgment.
Sure enough, Mr. Mei gritted his teeth and persuaded Mrs. Mei, "Abort this child. We will have another child after he is cured."
Madam Mei burst into tears, "Father, Fang Lang can't wait any longer. Didn't you say before that you should give it a try?"
But that was before I met Zhou Manqian.
As they traveled north, they would occasionally consult famous local doctors when passing through certain places. Some of them could not tell that their daughter was pregnant, and a few others could tell, but all of them recommended abortion.
They arrived in the capital four days ago and immediately went to Jishidiang for medical treatment. However, the two best doctors in Jishidiang also recommended abortion after seeing the doctor.
At that time, they could not find Zhou Man and had no connections, so they went to the other three clinics on the street, but no one could give Mr. Mei and his daughter the answer they wanted.
Only then did Mr. Mei start to ask about Zhou Man. In the first place, they had come all the way to the capital just to see Zhou Man.
He heard that she had some friendship with Master Zhiren of Huguo Temple, and he had known Master Zhiren in his early years, so he went to her house to ask for help.
Now that even Zhou Man said so, Mr. Mei gave up.
No matter how important a child is, he is not as important as your own daughter.
Mr. Mei glanced at Zhou Man, and Manbao stood up smartly and took Zhou Liru out, leaving the space for the father and daughter.
Mr. Mei persuaded Mrs. Mei, "Nannan, let's listen to Doctor Zhou. After this abortion, we will stay in the capital for a long time until you recover."
"Don't worry, Doctor Zhou is a world-renowned doctor. She can even cure the prince's illness, so yours will be no problem."
"But before we went out, Fang Lang said that if it still doesn't work out this time, I'm afraid that between us..." Madam Mei bit her lip, thought for a long time, and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, why don't you give Fang Lang a concubine?"
"Silly child, what are you talking about?" Mr. Mei said helplessly, a little disappointed. "I want you to find a son-in-law, and I want a child born by you. If you want him to take a concubine and have a child, it's better not to have a child. Then find a child in the clan to adopt. At least he will have the blood of our Mei family."
Mr. Mei's face was calm, and he said nonchalantly, "Since he cares so much about having children, I don't think he's very willing to be a son-in-law right now. In that case, we can just give him the divorce papers."
Madam Mei opened her mouth wide, "How can this be..."
"Why not?" In fact, Mr. Mei didn't really want his daughter to have another child after the first two miscarriages. He also talked to his son-in-law about it. He responded well to his face, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Mei would still get pregnant.
But this time, the son-in-law wasn't interested in coming to Beijing. He preferred to stay in Jiangnan rather than accompany her. Mr. Mei sneered and said to his daughter, "It's settled. Have an abortion first. When you've recovered, your father will find you a son-in-law. Two-legged frogs are hard to find in this world, but how can you not find two-legged men?"
Madam Mei obviously couldn't accept it.
Mr. Mei said, "Don't worry, this time we will look for someone who is better than Fang Lang in terms of family background, character, appearance, and talent."
Madam Mei's face flushed red, obviously she didn't believe it.
As soon as Manbao left the clinic, he leaned against the wall outside with his hands clasped together, watching the people coming and going in the pharmacy. The owner of Baicaotang took advantage of the fact that Zheng Da wasn't paying attention and strolled over. He spoke directly to Zhou Man, "Doctor Zhou, can this disease be cured?"
He nodded towards the clinic.
Manbao asked, "Have you seen it too?"
The shopkeeper of Baicaotang nodded and said, "We have seen it, but we can only perform abortions, not fetal transfers."
Manbao couldn't do it either, so he sighed and said, "We can't even find out the cause, let alone move the fetus."
The owner of Baicaotang knew that Zhou Man was also suggesting an abortion, so he sighed and said, "I see she's a bit weak, and she doesn't have much time left. Isn't an abortion risky?"
Manbao nodded, "That's right, so I found a set of acupuncture methods to use with it."
She searched through all the ideas in her mind and came up with the idea of using half of each set of acupuncture, but she didn't know how effective it would be, so medicine was very important.
Just as he was thinking this, the shopkeeper Zheng came over. He first glanced at the shopkeeper of Baicaotang warily, and then looked at Zhou Man, "Doctor Zhou, have you finished examining the patient?"
Manbao shook his head. "I was just about to tell you that I need some good medicine..."
The shopkeeper of Baicaotang said with a smile, "It's a medicine for replenishing and invigorating blood circulation, right? The New Year is coming soon, and all the pharmacies are running short of supplies. If Jishiditang can't provide it, we at Baicaotang are willing to check our inventory."
The shopkeeper Zheng said with a hypocritical smile, "You are very polite. Although it is a busy time during the New Year, we can still provide enough medicine for one person."
The shopkeeper of Baicaotang emphasized: "It's a good medicine."
Manager Zheng responded with a smile on his face, "Of course it's a good medicine." But he snorted in his heart, as if everyone didn't have some in stock.
Manbao had a headache. Just then, Mr. Mei opened the door and came out. She immediately went to meet him and asked, "How is it?"
Mr. Mei and Zhou Man bowed and said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhou."
Manbao understood and thought for a moment before saying, "Given her physical condition, it's not good for her to take medicine here. Where do you live?"
Mr. Mei and his friends used to live in an inn, but now they live in the guest house of Huguo Temple.
So Manbao packed up his medicine box and took Zhou Liru and them to Huguo Temple.
Before leaving, Manager Zheng gave her the best medicine according to the prescription she gave.
Manbao also added some extra medicines that might be used later. Mr. Mei was very wealthy, so he bought a total of more than 8 taels of medicinal materials without blinking an eye. He also spent 80 taels to buy a good-quality wild ginseng.
Manbao was amazed. No wonder he could find a son-in-law. He was indeed rich.
Arriving at Huguo Temple, Manbao handed the medicine bag to Zhou Liru and the maid of the Mei family, "You go and boil the medicine. I'll give her acupuncture first."
Madam Mei seemed to have lost her life, lying motionless on the bed in a mournful manner. Manbao helped her undress and asked as he gave her acupuncture, "Madam Mei, are you reluctant to leave your husband? Or are you reluctant to leave your child?"
Madam Mei glanced at Zhou Man. Because she was a woman, she didn't feel the embarrassment she had felt when she saw a doctor before. Since she had known the most private things, Madam Mei also wanted to confide in him. She said with tears in her eyes, "You don't understand. I am my father's only child. I have to leave a bloodline for the Mei family."
