Chapter 14 You are trying to kill me
"I'll have to check your pulse to find out."
Feng Qingsui replied.
Wei then stretched out her hand for her to feel her pulse.
After a thorough inspection, Feng Qingsui said with a smile, "I can help you lose 20 pounds in half a month, but you need to be ruthless."
Wei has been infertile for six years and is in dire straits. How could she not be so cruel?
She said impatiently, "Just say it."
"First, from today onwards, give up sugar. This includes all kinds of candy and sugar-based cakes, drinks, and dishes... as well as all fruits and refined rice and flour."
"Secondly, no matter how many meals you've eaten before, start eating two meals today. Eat vegetables first, then meat, and finally the staple food. You can eat brown rice, oatmeal, or potatoes as your staple food, but the amount should not exceed one fist." (Note: Everyone's health, metabolic rate, and nutritional needs are different. Please do not adjust your eating habits to imitate fictional characters.)
"Finally, walk briskly for an hour every day."
Wei was so shocked that her eyebrows almost dropped.
No sweets, only two meals a day, and an hour of walking every day?!
"You're trying to kill me!"
"Just prescribe the medicine directly. I can't do these things."
Feng Qingsui said calmly, "Madam, I can prescribe you some medicine that will relieve your diarrhea for half a month, causing you to lose your appetite and lose 10 to 20 pounds. But once you stop taking the medicine, you'll continue with your old diet and quickly gain the weight back. Why bother with useless efforts?"
"My lady must have tried this method."
Wei: “…”
She did try, but she lost a few pounds and gained it all back again, even gaining more than before.
The two willow-shaped eyebrows suddenly wrinkled into wavy lines.
"Isn't there any medicine that can make people lose weight and never gain weight again?"
Feng Qingsui: “Yes, that’s true.”
Wei's expression brightened for a moment, then she glared at her: "You're still hiding it?"
"Madam, please listen to me first," Feng Qingsui chuckled. "This can't actually be considered a medicine, but rather a kind of transplantation technique. If you've ever seen someone with a tumor, you should know that many tumors can cause weight loss. Of course, some can not only cause weight loss, but can even cause death."
"But we can choose those tumors that won't kill people easily, cut off a little bit of them, then make an incision on your body and apply it. If you're lucky, you'll grow the same tumor."
"These tumors will absorb a lot of your nutrients, so you won't gain weight no matter how much you eat."
Wei: “???!!!”
Is this something human beings say?
Who would implant a tumor in themselves just to lose weight!
"You really want to kill me."
Feng Qingsui smiled slightly and said, "I just hope you understand that there is no medicine that won't make you fat even if you eat a lot, there is only a disease that won't make you fat even if you eat a lot."
Wei: “…”
"If you're worried you can't stick to your diet and exercise, I can come and stay with you every day."
Feng Qingsui encouraged.
Wei was somewhat tempted, yet a little hesitant: "Will this waste too much of your time..."
"I'm just a widow, and there's nothing else to do except be a widow. It's only for half a month anyway."
Feng Qingsui worked harder.
"You can try it for a few days first, see the effect and then decide whether to stick with it."
Wei was finally persuaded.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Having successfully achieved his goal, Feng Qingsui returned to the Ji Mansion with a lighter step.
When she was having dinner with Qi in the evening, she told her the news: "Mother, starting tomorrow, I will be accompanying the wife of the Marquis of Rongchang to lose weight, so I will not be in the mansion during the day."
Qi was stunned: "Are you going to Rongchang Marquis Mansion every day?"
Feng Qingsui nodded.
Qi's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"The Rongchang Marquis Mansion is not a good place..."
"Mom, I know." Feng Qingsui smiled, "I will be careful."
Can't you just stay at home? Why do you have to take risks and go to a wealthy family?
Qi really wanted to ask her this.
But thinking that Feng Qingsui might be afraid of staying at home and thinking about her late husband all the time, and deliberately finding something to do for herself, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
Later, when Ji Changqing came back, she specially asked someone to call him over.
"Mom, it's so cold, please don't leave me any midnight snacks. Go to bed early next time."
Ji Changqing's voice arrived before he even showed up.
I entered the hall, but didn't see any table set.
Where's his beloved midnight snack?
Qi glared at him, "Who left you a midnight snack? I've left it for you so many times before, but it always got cold and was thrown away. I never saw you eat it."
Ji Changqing: “…”
"I drink soup," he said, feeling the need to clarify. "I also drink sugar water."
"Just a sip."
“…”
They say that memory becomes worse as people age, but why is my mother's memory so amazingly good...
"Okay, stop quibbling," Qi said unhappily, "I called you over here to tell you to find someone to keep an eye on your sister-in-law."
Ji Changqing looked surprised.
Did the mother finally realize that there was something wrong with Feng?
But she continued, "She said she wanted to accompany the wife of the Rongchang Marquis' son to lose weight, and she will be staying at the Rongchang Marquis's mansion during the day. I'm afraid she's been tricked."
Ji Changqing: “…”
Could that woman still be fooled by others?
It's almost the same if others fall into her trap.
I went to Princess Shouyang's mansion for a medical examination, and a woman of divine skill died; now I go to Marquis Rongchang's mansion for a medical examination, and I don't know who will die.
Although he was secretly complaining in his heart, he said respectfully on the surface: "Mom, don't worry, I will find someone to watch over you."
Only then did Qi feel relieved.
As if she had just seen her son, she frowned at his thin clothes and said, "It's so cold, why don't you wear more clothes?"
Ji Changqing: "Mom, my winter clothes are a bit old..."
"Then get a new one."
"When will it be replaced?"
Qi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you still waiting for me to do it? By the time I do, the willow trees will be sprouting. There are so many ready-made clothes shops in the capital, won't you go and buy them?"
Ji Changqing: “…”
He sighed deeply and said, "Okay, son, let's go to the clothing store tomorrow."
"Wait." Qi suddenly remembered something and went back to her room to get a pair of clothes. "Your sister-in-law made these for you. I almost forgot."
"Is this made...of wool?"
Ji Changqing took it with great surprise.
Wool can actually be spun into yarn to make clothing.
Qi nodded. "Your sister-in-law said her master taught her. This woolen hand-woven garment is much softer and more flexible than fur. It's like it's grown on the hand."
It is indeed much more flexible.
Ji Changqing tried it out.
I feel like I can write while wearing this wristband.
Who was Feng's master? A trace of doubt arose in his mind. He said that people die twice, knew how to spin wool, and taught Feng medical skills?
She doesn't sound like an ordinary woman.
Thinking of the news Shi An brought back from Wucheng, Feng's household registration really existed. There was indeed such a person who was abducted when he was young and came back to look for his relatives after his parents died.
He was skeptical.
Who can prove that the person returning is the registered person?
People's memories can be fuzzy, and even if neighbors say they are the same person, it cannot be true.
If Feng Qingsui knew what he was thinking, he might give him a thumbs up.
She was blind for ten years, so she never recognizes people by their appearance, but by their voice.
The day after she went to Rongchang Marquis's Mansion to accompany Wei to lose weight, she recognized an old acquaintance by his voice.
