These four women were like four chirping ducks, making so much noise that Luo Lan felt her ears were buzzing.
Ah Cai waved her hand and shouted:
"Stop arguing. The princess is not a doctor, and this is not a vegetable market."
When these women heard Ah Cai's words and saw Luo Lan's unhappy expression, they immediately shut up. The Second Madam stepped forward and said:
"Princess Yu, please don't mind us. We were just anxious at the moment, so we came to see you. I wonder if you could spare some time to examine us. We just don't believe that several of us women are sick? We can't have children."
The other women also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we just don't believe it. We're all women, so why can't we have children? Maybe there's something wrong with men. Why do they keep saying we women can't have children?"
Looking at the expectant eyes of these women, Luo Lan nodded calmly.
"Go back and wait for me. I'll examine you one by one. This kind of thing isn't appropriate to talk about in a setting like this."
The eldest lady also nodded and agreed:
"Yes, you all should know how to examine a woman. Go back and wait, and stop making a fuss."
Seeing this, the four ladies stopped arguing, nodded in agreement, and went back to their rooms.
The first place Luo Lan went to was the second lady's room. The layout here was a little worse than the first lady's room, and there was a lot less space. However, a familiar smell of incense hit him in the face.
She glanced around the room and asked in surprise:
"Is there also incense in Second Madam's room?"
"right."
The second lady nodded with a look of satisfaction.
"Princess, you have a really good nose. This kind of incense is magical. All the women in the village have it. It makes you feel refreshed during the day, and it makes you fall asleep quickly at night. You know, we have multiple women serving one husband, and the Second Master can't take care of it all, so he can only rely on this incense to help him sleep."
At this point, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and clicked her tongue. "Although the Second Master hasn't had time to come to my place recently, there's a reason for that. He's too busy. He used to be happy to come to my room."
Obviously, she was regretting her hasty words and wanted to find a way out. When she said this, she suddenly raised her handkerchief and said embarrassedly:
"Oh, look, I originally wanted to ask the princess to see me, but now I'm so talkative. Please take a seat and I'll pour you some tea."
"No need, Madam, please sit down and I'll take your pulse."
The second lady sat beside her, crossed the table, and stretched out her arm.
After a while, Luo Lan slowly said:
"The Second Madam has a bad stomach. She often gets heartburned easily and sometimes feels a little anxious."
The second wife looked at her with shining eyes and nodded continuously.
"You're right, it's true. Every time I finish a meal, I start to have heartburn. But does this have anything to do with me not being able to have children?"
Luo Lan shook her head. "It's okay. By the way, Second Madam, I think your incense smells good. Could you give me some?"
"Okay! I'll ask the servants to get it for you later. What about my inability to have children?"
After the Second Madam asked this, Luo Lan also performed an internal examination on her. In such an environment, she was only suitable to do some simple examinations on her.
However, there was no problem with the Second Madam's uterus. It seemed that the cause of her infertility was most likely Long Changsheng.
But she couldn't say that now, otherwise these women would definitely have to go to Long Changsheng to ask for an explanation, and she didn't want to get herself into unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, she said to the Second Madam:
"You just have inflammation. Ask the girl to get a prescription from me and give you some medicine to try."
The second lady continued to ask:
"Is it possible for me to get pregnant again?"
"It's hard to say, let's take some medicine first and see!"
After leaving these words, Luo Lan made an excuse to go to the Third Madam's room and left.
Throughout the afternoon, Luo Lan went to the rooms of these ladies one by one to check, and finally concluded that these women had no major problems with fertility, but they all used the same incense in their rooms. If it wasn't a problem with Long Changsheng, then there must be something wrong with the incense.
When she came out of the Fifth Lady's room, Luo Lan suddenly felt very tired all over. She asked each of the four ladies for some incense and went back to check it carefully.
At this moment, the maidservant beside the second wife of the owner of the manor came to invite her again. So she decided to be a good person and go with the second and third wives.
When she arrived at the Second Madam's room, she still smelled the incense. She sniffed it and asked in surprise:
"Do all the women in the mansion like to use incense?"
The Second Madam invited her to sit down and nodded.
"Well, maybe it's because the master and the second master can't share their love equally, so these women can only rely on the smell of incense to make themselves fall asleep. After a long time, they can't fall asleep without the smell of incense."
At this point, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, then continued:
"We are so lucky to be laughed at by the princess. We are not as lucky as you to find a good man like the prince who is so considerate to you. Alas!"
Luo Lan was not interested in these things. The only thing she was interested in was the incense.
So she asked again:
"Where does the incense in this mansion come from?"
The Second Lady answered without thinking:
"There's an incense shop in the city. They supply the mansion with incense. Every month they provide us with incense according to our preferences. Smell this, don't you think it has a faint scent of roses?"
As she said, Luo Lan smelled it carefully. Although the incense had a faint scent of roses, it was also mixed with another unknown smell.
"Second Madam, your incense smells so good, could you give me some?"
"Of course, I'll have someone bring it to you later."
"I can just take it. Just a little is enough. By the way, what's the name of the shop that provides incense to our mansion? I want to buy some to take back to the capital."
The Second Madam shook her head. "I don't know about that. This matter has always been handled by Hu Xing, the First Madam's personal maid. To be honest, even though the First Madam is paralyzed in bed, she still keeps an eye on all the affairs of the mansion. It has always been managed by the maids around her."
Hearing this, Luo Lan frowned and asked:
"It's really not easy for the eldest lady. She's not in good health, and she has to take charge of the whole family."
"What can we do? She comes from a good family and has a strong backing. Even if she is paralyzed in bed, the master is still wary of her. Otherwise, she should have handed over the power of the family long ago."
Speaking of this, the second wife seemed a little indignant.
Luo Lan didn't care about their family affairs. As usual, she took her pulse and did some examinations. In the end, she only found out that she had some gynecological inflammation, which had no major impact on her pregnancy.
Then she went to the third lady's room...
