In fact, what the Chu family head and Lord Zhong meant was that they felt this Li Mai was not simple and wanted to get to know her better. After all, people from these reclusive families all possessed unique skills. If their sons went out to train in the future, as long as Li Mai protected them, they wouldn't lose their lives outside.
Their expectations for their son were simple: at home, he should learn to run the business well, take over the family business, and when he went out, he should have someone to protect him so that no one would want to take his life.
They can teach you how to do business, but they can't really control everything in the underworld and protect you for life. But having a powerful master is a different story.
Li Mai naturally saw through the intentions of the two fathers. She actually wanted to laugh a little. If they knew that she was not involved in the underworld and did not often travel around in the underworld, she wondered if she would still say these words.
But in any case, since these two kids have called me master and respect me quite a bit, it's not unreasonable to help them out within my capabilities.
After all the spectators had left, Li Mai was invited into a room to take Madam Chu's pulse.
The Chu family couple and the Princess and her husband were both present.
Chu Yan and Zhong Hui accompanied Li Mai there.
Zhou Quan stayed by Li Mai's side, mostly silent, simply serving as her foil. When Li Mai talked to others, he would gaze intently at his wife, his eyes filled with tenderness and pride.
After taking Madam Chu's pulse, Li Mai determined that Madam Chu's condition was likely due to incomplete abortion of the child she had lost years ago, leaving her uterus unclean and unable to recover.
"After that miscarriage, has your period been heavier, and have you been experiencing dizziness and blurred vision, or temporary blackouts when you stay in one position for too long? Have you also been experiencing palpitations or shortness of breath?" Li Mai asked.
"Yes, the doctor also mentioned these symptoms, saying that I have blood deficiency. I have taken medicine, but there is no improvement. I have also taken a lot of tonics to regulate my body, but the problem persists. So, is this the reason why I can't get pregnant?" Madam Chu asked sadly.
Li Mai shook her head. "Yes and no. The reason you can't get pregnant is because when you miscarried, the baby wasn't completely expelled, and there were still remnants in your uterus. This affected your menstrual cycle, causing heavy bleeding and eventually leading to anemia. Your current symptoms are all aftereffects of this."
Madam Chu stared blankly at Li Mai, clearly not expecting that the child had been miscarried, and not completely. Her eyes reddened.
The Chu family head hadn't expected this either. He held his wife's hand with concern and asked Li Mai, "Master Li, can my wife take medicine to treat this?"
"Yes, but the lady might suffer a bit and have a stomachache for a few days."
If we lived in a future era with sophisticated instruments, a simple curettage procedure could be performed, and after a period of rest, there would be no problem.
But now that the D&C procedure is no longer possible, we can only rely on medication.
If I had my own special abilities, things would be much simpler.
Thinking of this, Li Mai smacked her lips and looked at Madam Chu.
Madam Chu nodded, "It's alright, I'm not afraid of the pain, Master Li, please administer the medicine."
Li Mai confirmed that Madam Chu was due to have her period in the next few days, nodded, and immediately wrote down the prescription.
The timing was perfect.
This case, this prescription, it was written in Dr. Niu's notes, so Li Mai naturally used it.
She was just curious: didn't these doctors in the capital know about this kind of problem?
"I'd like to ask you, Madam, did any of the doctors who treated you before raise this question?" Li Mai asked, voicing her doubts.
Madam Chu paused, then shook her head. "The doctors who saw me were all found by my father. Most of them were military doctors, and they all had a good relationship with him and had been to the battlefield. My father said that they had been to the battlefield and their medical skills were superb; they could even save someone who was on the verge of death."
Li Mai covered her forehead and chuckled. She understood. It seemed that for this kind of gynecological disease, she really had to find a doctor who specialized in gynecology.
She was fortunate to meet Dr. Niu, a doctor who dedicated his life to serving the people. He had contact with many patients and encountered many cases, which was truly beneficial to her.
Afterwards, Li Mai had to keep an eye on Madam Chu's condition, and she also had to guard against any potential dangers should the bleeding be heavy.
So, after having lunch at the Zhong residence, Li Mai and Zhou Quan went back to the Chu family home with them to stay for a few days.
As a result, Zhong Hui also went to live with the Chu family. He told his parents that he was going to learn skills from his master.
When Li Mai left the Zhong family, she thanked the Zhong couple for their trust and hospitality. Li Mai gave the Zhong couple a medicinal herb, saying it was a spiritual herb. She asked them to bring a flowerpot, and she personally helped them plant it in the flowerpot.
What intrigued the Zhong couple was that Master Li actually went to the garden in the mansion to find suitable soil for the herb, helped them plant it, and even watered it once.
Li Mai told them that if a family member was sick, they could pick a leaf and add it to the medicine prescribed by the doctor. If they were just a little weak, they could also pick a leaf and brew it into a pot of tea.
Just remember not to remove all the leaves. If only three leaves are left, you can't pick it. You have to wait for new leaves to grow before you can pick it.
After giving them detailed instructions, Li Mai left with peace of mind.
This spiritual herb can be considered her way of giving them a small return gift, since they had given her a very valuable present today.
A jade pagoda that looks extremely valuable.
The Jade Dragon Pagoda is a jade pagoda that allows water to flow. When water is poured into the pool at the base, it slowly flows down the four points at the top of the pagoda and into the pool below, just like a rainy day.
