Chapter 199 The Unspeakable Secret



Bewitched, Su Wantang let out a nasal sound: "Hmm?"

To Lu Huai'an, it meant she had agreed.

The next second, Lu Huai'an picked her up by the waist: "Dad, Mom, you continue watching the snow, we'll go back inside first."

Upon hearing this, Su Wantang felt like burying her head in the ground.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" she said, embarrassed and annoyed.

Hearing laughter, Su Wantang quickly grabbed Lu Huai'an's shirt and covered her face completely.

The two entered the house.

As soon as the door closed, Lu Huai'an put Su Wantang down and kissed her against the doorway.

The sounds of discontent, "Ugh—", were replaced by soft, delicate melodies.

Soon, clothes of all sizes were scattered all over the floor.

Snow falls on the branches, spring colors are alluring, a night of revelry.

As expected, Su Wantang overslept.

However, it seemed she wasn't the only one who overslept. They smiled knowingly at each other, neither of them making fun of the other.

After breakfast, Su Wantang received a stack of red envelopes and then called Chen Ze, Li Sisi, and the others to wish them a Happy New Year.

After thinking about it, I still didn't call Gu Shiya.

It's rare to have free time, so the family chats and plays cards, which is very pleasant.

Soon, it was the second year of junior high school.

Lu Huaidong and Li Jia left early in the morning and went back to Li Jia's parents' home.

Since Su Zhichen was all alone, Su Wantang invited him to stay at her home until after the New Year. Su Zhichen was initially unwilling, but he couldn't refuse everyone's kindness, so he stayed.

After packing the gifts they had brought, the family of four went to Wen Wanqing's parents' home.

Even though she had managed to get a rough idea out of Lu Huai'an the night before, Su Wantang was still slightly surprised.

What a... big family.

Wen Wanqing introduced each person to Su Wantang one by one. Luckily, Su Wantang had a good memory, otherwise she would probably have become face-blind after recognizing everyone.

The Wen family has a very good family tradition, and Su Wantang's initial restraint and discomfort quickly dissipated as she chatted warmly with everyone.

After lunch, the two uncles and aunts said goodbye to the Wen family elders and then hurried back to the wife's parents' home.

Auntie Su didn't leave, and she kept glancing at Su Wantang, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Su Wantang couldn't help but ask, "Second Aunt, is there... something you want to tell me?"

Miao Qiaoling was taken aback, not expecting Su Wantang to be so direct.

It was the Wen family elders who chimed in, "Wantang, your second aunt has been wanting you to take Yingying's pulse, but hasn't had the chance. She was wondering if you're available today and could help take a look at your cousin?"

An unbelievable thought flashed through Su Wantang's mind: "Second Aunt, could you be the patient Xiaoyu mentioned who came to the shop to see me several times?"

Miao Qiaoling smiled shyly: "Auntie, I didn't expect you to be so busy."

"Aunt, you should have told me sooner. I may not have time for others, but I definitely have time for family."

Although she knew it was just polite talk, Miao Qiaoling felt comfortable hearing it.

"Next time, your aunt will definitely contact you in advance."

Although she verbally agreed, Miao Qiaoling had no intention of doing so. The Wen family did not value rules, but they knew how to maintain proper boundaries.

"What's wrong, Cousin Yingying?" Su Wantang got to the point.

When asked about this, the family's expressions changed slightly, and they stammered, clearly having something difficult to say.

"Second son, Yuanyang, Huai'an, let's go out and play chess." Grandpa Wen called the men out of the house.

Wen Wanqing asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Yingying? Didn't you ask Manfan to have her seen by a colleague at the hospital? Didn't you agree?"

Miao Qiaoling sighed: "It got better at the time, but two months later it got worse again..."

"What is it now?" Wen Wanqing was so anxious her throat was hoarse. Just tell me!

Seeing this, Su Wantang tugged at Wen Wanqing's arm and said, "Second Aunt, since it's inconvenient to talk about it, let me take Yingying's pulse first before we chat."

Then, Su Wantang was led into a room.

The room was clean, but perhaps because it hadn't been opened for a long time to let in sunlight, it was a bit damp and stuffy, causing Su Wantang to frown.

Judging from my second aunt's embarrassed expression, it must be a gynecological problem. It's not like she can't be exposed to wind and sunlight. This kind of environment is actually not good for the patient's mood, nor is it good for her body's recovery.

Women's gynecological diseases, as long as they are not serious or rotten diseases, are mostly minor ailments that can be cured by strengthening the body and maintaining a happy mind and body.

"Second Aunt, open the window to let in some fresh air."

Miao Qiaoling hesitated, "This... Wan Tang, how about we finish taking her pulse first?"

"OK."

Seeing that Su Wantang agreed, Miao Qiaoling breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to lift the bed curtain.

"Mom." The girl's voice was gentle and warm.

“Yingying, your cousin-in-law Wantang is here. She is a very good doctor and can cure Mom’s old ailments. You will definitely be fine too.”

Wen Yingying bit her lower lip and gave a weak "Mmm".

"Sweetie, put your hand out," Miao Qiaoling coaxed.

The copper-red rash on her slender arm was particularly glaring, making Su Wantang's brow furrow as if a fly had been strangled between her eyebrows.

My cousin Yingying isn't engaged or married yet; she's probably overthinking it...

As her fingers touched his pulse, her guess became reality, and Su Wantang's eyes held a complex expression.

It turned out to be syphilis, also known as mycoplasma in Western medicine.

Su Wantang stopped, and the little girl asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, do I... do I still have a chance to go out and see the sun?"

Hearing this, Miao Qiaoling, who was standing by, covered her mouth and almost burst into tears.

When she first noticed something was wrong, she took her daughter to the hospital immediately. When she heard the doctor say it was a sexually transmitted disease, she fainted.

Later, for some reason, the story spread, and Yingying was subjected to a barrage of insults and spittle from a group of uninformed people at the hospital.

After that incident, Yingying locked herself in her room.
