Chapter 524 This is already very good
Li San Niang had no idea how Xu Jingzhen, after drinking another pot of wine and getting himself drunk, had caused Fang Chengxian any trouble.
In Li San Niang's eyes, men have always been an obstacle to her progress.
"I want to dedicate my life to the medical profession. This is what I want to do and what my heart desires."
As long as my dewdrop lives a peaceful and joyful life, that's enough; I haven't lived in vain.
Li San Niang, who had fallen into a deep sleep while dreaming of a bright future, still had to get up early the next day to go to the clinic for her shift.
Just as she arrived at the clinic and dealt with Tang Mingyue's teasing, an old woman came with a number to ask Li San Niang to come out for a consultation.
This old woman was an acquaintance; she was the old woman from Bai Wei's family who had once come to Li San Niang for treatment.
(Plot summary of chapters 497-499)
On the way to Bai Wei's house, Li San Niang guessed that since she was being asked to come to Bai Wei's house for a medical consultation again, the abscess there must have grown quite a bit.
Sure enough, upon arriving at the Bai family, although Bai Wei had applied a little makeup to conceal her true, sickly complexion, a pulse diagnosis still revealed the underlying problem.
"Lady Bai still sent someone; let me examine her."
Bai Wei dismissed the servants and had the old woman block the door before finally lying down on the bed with Qiu Xiang's help.
Li San Niang then used a cloth to examine her hand. Sure enough, the abscess had grown considerably and needed to be treated.
"It seems that Lady White Snake has been applying the medicine and cleaning it on time, and the ulcer has almost healed."
The abscess has grown quite a bit and is now fluctuating. I'll use a small knife to cut it open and drain the pus later, then apply some medicine.
Since Li San Niang had mentioned how to treat the abscess during her last visit, Bai Wei wasn't afraid at this moment. She simply nodded and said, "I'll leave everything to Doctor Li."
Without hesitation, Li San Niang guessed why Bai Wei had come to see her when she saw the old woman at the clinic. Therefore, she brought the medicinal herbs she needed for the outpatient consultation.
Li San Niang took out the prepared medicine packet from the medical kit and asked the old woman to arrange for someone to brew the medicine. She then made thorough preparations for incising and draining the abscess.
After the medicinal soup was brewed and cooled to a warm temperature, Li San Niang washed her hands and began to prepare it.
First, acupuncture needles were inserted to relieve the pain. Then, a small knife was carefully used to make a horizontal cut about half a finger's length at the point of fluctuation. After squeezing out a lot of pus, the cavity was cleaned continuously with medicinal soup.
Thanks to Li San Niang's superhuman ability to see through objects, she didn't bleed much.
"For the next three days, Lady White, just send someone to the clinic to find me, and I will come to change your dressing."
After three or four such repetitions, there should be no major problem.
"Thank you very much, Dr. Li. You've worked hard, Dr. Li."
Li San Niang shook her head and didn't say anything more.
After giving a few more instructions on cleaning and hygiene, Li San Niang said she had to take her leave.
After Li San Niang was put into the carriage by the old woman, a young man appeared in the room where Bai Wei was staying.
Looking at Bai Wei, who was holding her belly and leaning against the bed, Shi Hongye couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
"My wife, are you alright?"
Bai Wei opened her eyes and saw Shi Hongye. She smiled gently and, seeing the worry on Shi Hongye's face, began to comfort him.
"Fortunately, Dr. Li is a famous female doctor. If she says it can be treated, then it should be fine."
Shi Hongye sat down with a remorseful expression, took Bai Wei's hand, and said with unease, "My wife, it's all my fault for being so lustful. I've caused you to suffer like this."
Shi Hongye reached out and gently stroked Bai Wei's belly. Feeling the baby's movement, Shi Hongye looked at Bai Wei with joy: "Wife, the baby moved! He/She kicked me!"
Ever since Bai Wei had her last consultation with Li San Niang, she had chosen a time to tell Shi Hongye about how she had contracted the disease from him.
Although Shi Hongye was fond of women, for a family like the Shi family, the child in his wife's womb, especially since it was the eldest son's child, was the most important thing.
Therefore, Shi Hongye said at that time, "My wife, it's my fault. I couldn't control myself."
My dear wife, rest assured, I will not touch you again until you give birth.
This child is our eldest son, our first child, so we must treat him with care and attention.
Furthermore, I will personally invite a doctor to my home to examine me later; I still yearn to grow old with my wife.”
After this ordeal, Shi Hongye kept his word and did indeed hire a male doctor to come to his home. He also refrained from seeking pleasure in Pingkangfang for some time.
However, Shi Hongye spent more time in the three flower rooms in the backyard.
However, because he cared about the child in Bai Wei's belly, Shi Hongye would come to Bai Wei's place every three to five days to have a meal with her and show his concern for her.
It was only by chance that Shi Hongye overheard Bai Wei inviting Li San Niang to her home for a medical consultation that he hid to the side to see what was going on.
"I didn't expect that the female doctor would treat you so openly."
Bai Wei, fearing that Shi Hongye would ruin Li Sanniang's reputation, gently patted Shi Hongye and said, "Don't go out and spread rumors."
Dr. Li is a kind and compassionate doctor who keeps his mouth shut, but he never says anything irrelevant to me.
"If it weren't for Dr. Li, I don't know how much more suffering I would have endured, and I don't know what would have happened to our child."
"Alright, alright, I certainly won't speak carelessly, but I never expected to find a female doctor who could diagnose and treat illnesses in this way."
Yes, you're right. Thanks to her, we'll give her more money for the consultation later.
Bai Wei gave Shi Hongye a playful glare, "Do you even need to tell me? Every time Doctor Li comes to visit, I always give Li Mama proper instructions."
After chatting for a while and agreeing to have dinner together, Shi Hongye went out.
"My lady, I'm afraid the young master has gone off to have some fun again."
Bai Wei took the cup handed to her by the old woman, drank more than half of it, and then said slowly, "Alright, let's leave him alone."
It's already good that he can stay away for half a month.
Didn't Qing'an, who was standing next to him, say that he had been taking medicine for half a month?
Now that he's healthy, let him go find his mother if he wants.
It's already very kind of him to care about me and this child even a little.
After sighing, the old woman picked up the plate of sliced fruit on the table and handed it to Bai Wei. "It's good that you can think things through, madam. You already have a child, and whether it's a boy or a girl, it's the eldest son of your husband's family."
If it were a young man, that would be even better;
If it's a girl, and the mother recovers her health and then gives birth to a boy, that would be a good thing too.
Bai Wei took a bite of the peeled and chopped peach flesh, savoring the sweetness on her tongue. After eating another piece, she said to the old woman, "Sigh, Granny, what can I do even if I can't think straight?"
No matter what, I can't control him. What he said before makes sense. As long as my father-in-law and uncle can still serve as officials in the court, our family will be very secure.
Then why should I worry about it?
