Chapter 2530 Asking for Advice
Manbao said, "You have to be alive to leave your bloodline. If you die, other people's children, whether adopted or born to your husband's concubines, will not be his bloodline."
Madam Mei said, "Since Fang Lang has married into our Mei family, he will take my surname, Mei. Any child he fathers will also take my surname, Mei. Moreover, we can bring the child home from a young age and raise him ourselves. He will have the surname Mei, and it will be no different from a biological child."
Manbao was stunned. Even she, who claimed to be open-minded, could not help but admire her magnanimity. She imagined that if Bai Shan dared to take a concubine and have a child, and then told her that the child would take her mother's surname Xia, she would at least break his legs, even if she didn't beat him to death.
Manbao closed his mouth and could only smile awkwardly, "You'd better take care of yourself first. I will examine you carefully and find a way to cure your illness." If worst comes to worst, there is still Keke. You can just pay the points and let Keke scan you.
Madam Mei was not very confident. With tears in her eyes, she asked, "What if it can't be cured?"
She said, "I am my father's only child. Many in the clan were already quite unhappy about my marrying into the family. If... I would be too ashamed to face the ancestors of the Mei family even if I died."
Manbao: "...Why don't you ask your father to have a baby?"
She pursed her lips and said, "I don't think Mr. Mei is very old."
Madam Mei, "My father is already forty-six years old."
In another four years I will be at the age of knowing the destiny. Isn’t that too big?
Manbao said, "It's not big, it's not big. It can still grow again. I'll show it to Mr. Mei later."
Madam Mei's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Seeing that she was in much better spirits, Manbao, who had been just chatting, started to think seriously.
Forty-six is a bit old, but it's not that the child cannot have children. Mr. Mei has a rosy complexion and long and strong limbs. He doesn't look like a weak person. Should we go back and take a look at him?
Manbao himself was not quite sure. After all, this patient had not been cured yet, and it was hard to say whether he would develop another patient.
Zhou Liru and the head maid brought the medicine. Manbao felt it and found it was still a little hot, so she asked them to put it aside. She took the needle out of Mei Niangzi's body and said to her, "This is a pain-relieving needle. It will make you feel less painful after taking the medicine."
Madam Mei had experienced this twice. Thinking of the unbearable pain she felt those two times, she nodded with a pale face.
Manbao handed the medicine to her, and then he and Zhou Liru, the maid, stood in front of the bed and watched her drink the medicine.
The prescription that Manbao and Doctor Tao had worked out was as mild as possible, but soon after taking it, Madam Mei's face turned pale with pain, sweat continued to break out at her temples, and her lips were completely bloodless.
The maidservant trembled and said, "It's bleeding..."
Seeing that she was scared, Manbao said, "Go to the kitchen and boil some water. I'll bring it in later."
After she left, he and Zhou Liru looked after Madam Mei together.
Manbao felt her pulse and found it was within expectations. Seeing that she was in real pain, he said, "I'll give you acupuncture to help you expel the pain, and then give you half a set of painkiller injections."
This was a new idea she had come up with, and she didn't know how effective it would be.
However, Manbao did not tell her about this uncertainty and started to give the injection after getting her permission.
Mr. Mei had been pacing anxiously outside. As several basins of blood were brought out, he couldn't help but clasp his hands and chant, "Amitabha, may the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva bless my son to be safe and sound."
It was not until the afternoon that Manbao pressed her belly to confirm, and then gave her a hemostatic injection and prescribed a hemostatic medicine.
Manbao brought medicine with her when she came, but she habitually left a prescription for people, so that if the medicine she left was not enough, they could go to the pharmacy with the prescription.
Manbao said to Madam Mei, who lay quietly and seemed to have lost her voice, "I know you are in pain and tired now, but I still want to congratulate you. This abortion went smoothly. You should rest first. I will come to see you tomorrow and check what is wrong with you and why you keep getting pregnant outside the uterus."
Madam Mei had a hint of life in her. She opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Man, "Can you find out?"
Manbao said: "I will try my best, it should be possible."
Madam Mei cheered up a little. After two miscarriages, she sought help from famous doctors, but those doctors could not explain the reason.
And she couldn't let the doctors do too detailed an examination, so the matter never came to a conclusion.
My father said that Doctor Zhou was a world-famous doctor, and since she was a woman, she must understand the female body better.
Manbao gave the doctor's instructions and went out with his medicine box. Mr. Mei immediately came to meet him.
Manbao went to the other side to talk to Mr. Mei and talked to him in more detail, including the later treatment, etc. She told him everything carefully.
Mr. Mei listened attentively, exhaled, and said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhou."
He personally sent Zhou Man down from the Huguo Temple and gave him a very heavy purse.
Manbao raised his eyebrows when he took it, glanced at Mr. Mei, and accepted it without refusing.
Mr. Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and watched Zhou Man get into the car and leave.
When he got in the car, Manbao asked Keke in his mind, "Are the scan results out?"
Koko said, "It's out."
Manbao then opened his purse to look.
Zhou Liru was shocked. "That's a lot of money. It must be twenty taels, right?"
Manbao nodded, "Of course there is."
She put the money away and said to Zhou Liru, "Don't accept any more money from the Mei family in the next few days."
Zhou Liru nodded, very curious, "Aunt, can her illness really be cured?"
Manbao still didn't know what her problem was, so he couldn't guarantee anything. He only said, "Go back and look up some medical books and think about it. Whether it can be cured depends on fate."
Zhou Liru nodded, but she was still very curious, "Other people's fetuses were born in the palace, why did hers happen outside the palace?"
Manbao said: "It may be that the two branches under the palace are blocked, or it is bumpy and the fetus cannot enter the uterus, so it implants outside the uterus."
It was the first time Zhou Liru heard of this and was very surprised.
Manbao was thinking about the course she had taken with Teacher Mo. She hadn't taken much of the course at the time and only had a rough understanding of it, but she also knew that Teacher Mo's world had studied fertility to the extreme.
They call the two forks below the uterus the fallopian tubes, saying that they are channels specifically for transporting eggs. If they are blocked, it will be difficult to conceive, or the pregnancy will occur outside the uterus.
The former is okay, but the latter is very dangerous. It is said that in ancient times, many women lost their lives without knowing the reason because of this.
Manbao fell into deep thought, wondering if Teacher Mo had any prescription for treatment.
Teacher Mo's treatment was, "Just conceive the child in vitro. Who would go through so much trouble to have a fallopian tube closure just to have a child these days?"
"Oh, your world doesn't have the technology for in vitro fertilization," Teacher Mo said after a moment's thought. "You're asking me this out of the blue, so I don't have a very good method to offer you. However, in ancient times, humans would perform surgery to clear the fallopian tubes, but that wasn't practical in your time because it required another pair of eyes to open the tiny opening."
Manbao asked, "How about medication or acupuncture?"
Teacher Mo said, "I have to check to find out. Where is her pulse record?"
Manbao showed him the pulse diagnosis she had written, as well as the pictures and data scanned by Keke.
It was indeed a blockage. Teacher Mo pondered. This disease was not difficult to treat nowadays, and it had not even been a problem a long time ago. But in Zhou Man's world, there were many things that could be used for research and examination, so this disease seemed very difficult to treat.
See you tomorrow
