On the other side, as soon as Qin Xiangxiang arrived at the hospital, she took her tonic and went to see Dr. Liu, whom she knew well.
"Dr. Liu, you're busy!"
I need your help with something!
Qin Xiangxiang handed over the medicine in her hand, "Excuse me, could you please check the ingredients of these packets of medicine?"
Dr. Liu stopped what she was doing. "What medicine?"
Qin Xiangxiang paused for a moment, then said, "It's said to be a tonic for treating irritability and restlessness, and menopause."
Dr. Liu opened the bag, sniffed the medicine, then crushed some with his finger and tasted it on his tongue.
"So? Is it the kind with donkey-hide gelatin, ginseng, and coptis?"
"What donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng? You've been scammed. This is just Coptis chinensis powder."
"It's all Coptis chinensis? You're not mistaken, are you? Is it because the amount of ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin is relatively small, so you couldn't taste it?"
“Nurse Qin, how long have you been dealing with me? I started learning to identify medicinal herbs from my master when I was eight years old. I’ve been doing this for over thirty years. I can smell whether there’s donkey-hide gelatin or ginseng in this place.”
"This is pure Coptis chinensis, as pure as it gets, nothing added."
Dr. Liu frowned. "Who is this meant for? How can anyone eat such a huge bag of Coptis chinensis powder? Won't it make you vomit bile?"
Qin Xiangxiang looked disgusted. Who else could she give it to? She could give it to me!
Suppressing her anger, she asked again, "Dr. Liu, is this medication for menopause?"
"Coptis chinensis has the effect of nourishing yin and clearing heat, and it can also calm the mind and relieve irritability. It can also play a certain role in improving night sweats or dizziness and tinnitus caused by menopausal syndrome!"
As he spoke, Dr. Liu examined Qin Xiangxiang carefully.
"Nurse Qin, you don't look too well. Is this the medicine you've been taking?"
Qin Xiangxiang and Dr. Liu were quite familiar with each other, so she stopped hiding it from him.
"I have been feeling really irritable lately. A lot of people say I'm easily angered and prone to getting angry. I also often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and I can't sleep well."
Dr. Liu comforted her, saying, "Take it easy."
"How long has it been since you last came?"
Qin Xiangxiang was a little embarrassed. "She came last month, and this month, she should have come a few days ago."
"Extend your hand, let me take your pulse."
Qin Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief and stopped being coy. She immediately sat down on the chair next to her and placed her arm on the pulse-taking board on the table.
Dr. Liu placed his fingers on Qin Xiangxiang's wrist, and soon a hint of doubt appeared on her face.
He examined her carefully for a while longer and asked Qin Xiangxiang a few questions.
Qin Xiangxiang also became nervous, wondering if something had really happened to her.
She asked cautiously, "Dr. Liu, what's wrong with me?"
Dr. Liu withdrew her hand. "Have you encountered any difficulties recently? Have you been experiencing significant emotional fluctuations?"
"Or perhaps it's due to high mental stress, frequent anger and outbursts, or something like that?"
Qin Xiangxiang nodded, "Yes, something has been bothering me at home lately, which has affected my mood."
"What's wrong with me? We've known each other for so many years, just tell me what's on your mind!"
Dr. Liu said calmly, "You're not that old to begin with, and you've always taken good care of yourself. Your physical condition is much younger than that of most people your age."
"Judging from your pulse, you are far from menopause."
Dr. Liu frankly stated, "It seems more like excessive emotional excitement led to stagnation of liver qi, which in turn caused poor blood circulation."
"To put it bluntly, my emotions were too volatile, and I stopped menstruating."
Qin Xiangxiang.....
!!! !!! !!! !!!
Damn it, she was so angry with Li Yueniang that she stopped menstruating!!!
That bitch!
She said she was only forty-five or forty-six years old, and her health had always been good; she was always on time every month.
Every time he saw Li Yueniang, he would feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
That bitch is here to bring me bad luck.
She had only been living here for a few days when she became so angry that she stopped menstruating.
She not only cheated Su Yi out of money, but also fed herself bitter medicine.
Eighty yuan! That's two and a half months' salary for five packets of Coptis chinensis powder, a substance even more bitter than her life.
She was the one who paid those eighty yuan; just thinking about it made her so angry her teeth ached and her heart pounded.
That bitch, I'll definitely tear off her hypocritical and vicious mask when I get back today.
Inside the military compound.
After Li Yueniang blocked all of Qin Xiangxiang's escape routes at home, she carefully hid the tonics in her room in Su Chang'an's room.
After everything was arranged, she shuffled off to find her old friends in the compound to complain.
"You have no idea how much I'm suffering!"
"As you get older, you're destined to live your life at the mercy of others."
"As you all know, Su Yi bought her some medicine a few days ago. Because he doesn't know anything about women's matters, he asked me to come along. As a result, Xiangxiang refused to drink it no matter what, and even said in front of us that she was afraid I would poison her with arsenic!"
"It took a lot of coaxing from the whole family, even with the help of Sister Feng, to get her to drink the medicine twice."
"In the end, he refused to drink any more, even going on a hunger strike!"
"You don't know, those are all good medicinal herbs!"
"Just one course of treatment, and it costs a whole eighty yuan! I, Su Yi, have been so good to her~ How can she be so ungrateful?"
"I secretly took the medicine to the hospital today, and now I'm worried."
"You guys say she has such a big problem with me? Last time she brought in some bad guys for me, I still believed she was innocent, but lately, I've been watching her every move, it seems...it seems..."
Li Yueniang looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't, which led everyone to speculate.
