"Doctor Qin?"
The lady took it and looked at the name in confusion.
Aunt Mei beside her gently reminded her, "This doctor was introduced at the previous Chrysanthemum Banquet. Do you remember, Madam?"
The lady suddenly remembered after hearing this and quickly ordered the attendant beside her: "Hurry and invite him in."
His tone was full of urgency.
Not long after, a tall and thin man walked in from outside the door. He was wearing an elegant blue robe and looked energetic, neat and tidy.
His appearance is like a green bamboo swaying in the wind yet remaining strong and resilient.
After he entered the room, he first politely bowed to everyone, then walked forward slowly. After sitting down, he immediately focused on the young lady's pulse. Every movement revealed his seriousness and professionalism.
After a while, Doctor Qin finished his examination, slowly stood up, spread out a piece of white paper on the desk, and began to write silently.
That focused look makes people feel an indescribable trust and peace of mind.
After the prescription was written, Wen Zhu respectfully took it and expressed his gratitude to the other party, "Thank you, Doctor Qin."
Then, the Duke's wife eagerly and hopefully asked questions about her daughter-in-law's health, especially her concern about whether she could conceive a child normally.
"Excuse me, Doctor Qin, does my young wife have any fertility problems?"
There was barely concealed anxiety in her voice.
Hearing this straightforward question, Doctor Qin did not hesitate at all and responded directly: "There are indeed certain obstacles."
Such an answer made the Duke's wife's expression, which was already frowning, even more serious.
He couldn't help but start blaming Zhao Manxiang in his heart - simply because the contraceptive medicine she gave to the young lady was too strong.
But then, Doctor Qin's words gave them some comfort, "But this is not an irreversible condition. It can be improved with proper care."
His eyes were firm and powerful as he said this, as if promising that a solution would be found.
These words not only eased the Duke's wife's uneasiness, but also made Wen Zhu, who had been observing Doctor Qin's words and deeds, take a few more glances.
Although the doctor in front of him didn't say much, his reserved and steady temperament, especially the caution and professionalism he showed when dealing with the private affairs of officials and their families, gave people a particularly down-to-earth feeling.
"So, how long will the treatment and conditioning take?"
The Duke's wife then raised the next question of concern, with an unconcealable urgency in her tone.
At this time, Wen Zhu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry.
If the matter drags on too long, the always impatient wife of the Duke will gradually lose her patience.
"Usually, it takes at least a month to see initial signs of improvement; complete recovery may take three months or even longer. Of course, this is just an approximate timeframe for recovery. Whether or not you'll be able to successfully conceive in the future depends on many factors, so it's not something you can predict immediately."
Doctor Qin replied in a steady and calm tone.
After hearing this explanation, the Duke's wife nodded in understanding, though she was still reluctant. She then continued to ask, "During this period, are there any special things that require your attention?"
Dr. Qin offered clear and concise advice: "The most important thing is to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and avoid excessive worry or anxiety. Let nature take its course and believe that everything will turn out well."
His words were full of encouragement and confidence.
"Okay, then Dr. Qin, have a cup of tea and rest for a while."
The Duke's wife said with a smile, her eyes revealing sincere gratitude.
"No, I have other patients to see, so I can't stay long."
Doctor Qin bowed slightly, with a hint of apology on his face, but his attitude was very firm.
He knew there were many people waiting who needed his help, so he didn't want to stay here too long.
"Amei, see Doctor Qin off."
The Duke's wife turned around and instructed Nanny Mei beside her, her voice still warm and gentle.
Nanny Mei nodded calmly, then quickly walked to the cabinet on the side, took out a heavy purse and handed it to Doctor Qin as a thank you for the treatment.
Then she led Doctor Qin through the hall and escorted him out of the mansion gate. The whole process was orderly and polite.
Wen Zhu was carefully checking the newly written prescription, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed. He found that the new prescription was similar to the medicine he had used before, except that some of the medicinal materials and their dosage were slightly different.
This subtle change gave her more hope and curiosity, and at the same time she felt the Duke's wife's care and love.
"Take your medicine well and relax. I hope you have good news."
The Duke's wife looked at Wen Zhu and gave instructions with a smile, her tone full of encouragement and expectation, which made Wen Zhu feel warm but also a little pressured.
Wen Zhu bowed deeply to express his gratitude to the Duke's wife. His face looked a little shy and nervous. He then walked out of the room lightly, and his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
When it was almost noon, Wen Zhu walked slowly into the ancestral hall carrying a lunch box, and also did not forget to bring some freshly cooked medicine.
He took every step carefully, for fear of disturbing anyone.
After entering the ancestral hall, she saw Zhao Manxiang and Yu Ning still lying there sleeping quietly.
The air around seemed exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through bamboo leaves breaking the silence.
After entering the house, Wen Zhu tiptoed to Zhao Manxiang's side and called out softly, "Young Madam, Young Madam..."
She called out several times, but unfortunately got no response.
Then he reached out and touched her forehead, and was relieved to find that the fever symptoms he was worried about had subsided a lot.
However, judging from her expression, although her physical condition had improved, she did not really sleep well, but seemed to be struggling in some kind of dream.
It was an unstable and fearful state that made people feel heartbroken.
Seeing this situation, Wen Zhu tried to gently shake Yu Ning who was sleeping beside him.
"Sister Yu Ning, wake up..." she whispered. After shaking back and forth several times, Yu Ning finally slowly opened her hazy eyes.
But she still looked quite tired, yawning and rubbing her eyes, obviously not fully awake yet.
"The young mistress has been frightened quite a bit these past few days, and it's hard for her to fall asleep at night. Don't wake her up abruptly. You need to pay close attention to her. If she wakes up later, have the maids send the meal to the kitchen and heat it up before serving it to her."
Wen Zhu carefully instructed Yu Ning.
"I see, I see. I've taken note of everything you said."
