Chapter 92: Family Doctor
Jiang Yunwan carefully held the smooth side of the jade token up to the candlelight. "Ming'en, look, there seems to be something carved inside? Can you see it clearly?"
Song Mingen squinted and took a closer look. "It looks like a bird, but it also looks like it's not. The swastika is blocking the view, so I can't see it clearly."
Jiang Yunwan touched the jade token carefully. "This is a whole piece of jade. There is not a single flaw and it cannot be broken apart. I think it was formed naturally when the swastika was carved."
"Yeah, I think so too." Song Mingen placed the jade token in the box. "Now that the jade token is back, I will arrange for the people from Suzaku Pavilion to investigate it slowly."
"Take your time to investigate? Don't you want to find your biological parents as soon as possible?"
"It's been over thirty years, how could it be that easy to find me? I'm still unsure whether I was abandoned by someone maliciously or for some other reason. But don't worry, our people are not that slow. I think we'll have a clue soon."
Jiang Yunwan snatched the jade token and hid it under her pillow. "I'll ask my father tomorrow, maybe he's seen it. It's getting late, I need to go to bed. I have a big show with Shushu tomorrow."
"What drama is going on?"
"Let Sister Yu have a few more precognitive dreams. We'll arrange for someone to cooperate and convince Shushu that Sister Yu's precognitive dreams will happen. Only then will she believe that the Marquis' wife who is raising someone else's child is her. This will also help her be wary of the Cheng family and not foolishly continue to be coaxed by the Cheng family into begging her father for benefits."
Song Mingen disagreed, "Sister Shushu is pregnant now. She is sure about this. What if it affects the baby in her belly? Don't you feel bad?"
"Of course I feel bad for her. If I don't prepare her to be on guard against the Cheng family in advance, what will happen to the son in her belly when she is born seven months later? He will be replaced with a fake son. Shushu's son can be raised outside or abandoned. The worst case scenario is that he will not survive."
Song Mingen's face changed drastically, and he suddenly realized that he and Yu Jie'er were most likely maliciously swapped and thrown away.
"Wanwan, I guess the fake son should be in Cheng Xiao's mistress's belly right now. He should be three months old. He was switched after seven months. The fake son must look a lot like Cheng Xiao, so Sister Shushu wouldn't be able to detect him."
Jiang Yunwan sat up in shock. "You're absolutely right! If we investigate that mistress, we'll have a clue. Every woman in the capital who's three months pregnant is a suspect!"
"Leave this matter to me. I will give you the list of these women in three days."
The next day, Cheng Qingmeng opened his eyes and saw that it was still early, so he went back to sleep.
"Miss." The maid Qinghe came in with toiletries.
"Leave it there. It's still early to sleep a little longer."
"Miss, it's getting late. You said you would get up early today to massage Madam Jiang's meridians."
Cheng Qingmeng hurriedly turned over and got out of bed. She had forgotten that this was the Jiang Mansion.
She recently consulted a local doctor for a meridian massage, hoping it would help her grandmother's eye disease.
"Tell Aunt Yanzhi that when my mother wakes up, tell her that I went to my grandmother's house for breakfast."
"Yes, miss."
When Cheng Qingmeng arrived, he saw Song Yu walking out of the room.
"Cousin, you actually got up earlier than me. Hey, what's this?"
Cheng Qingmeng reached out and snatched the silver needle bag from Song Yu's hand, "This...this is silver needles. Cousin, do you know medical skills?"
Song Yu felt that he had gotten up too late. If he had gotten up half an hour earlier, he would not have been met by his cousin Meng.
"Grandma isn't awake yet. Let's go over there and tell you slowly."
Cheng Qingmeng felt sorry for Song Yu when she learned that she had been frail and sickly since childhood.
"Cousin, you look very well now. I guess that barefoot doctor is not just any barefoot doctor, right?"
"His medical skills are indeed good. He left behind many medical books and then disappeared. Grandma's eye disease will improve in three months. If not, we will look for other doctors."
"There's no need to look for her, cousin. Grandma will definitely be able to see again in three months."
Song Yu was surprised, "Do you trust me so much?"
"My cousin is a good cook, so she must be a good doctor."
She was still waiting for her cousin to severely defeat Du Zhihuan in the future!
"Cousin Meng, don't be too confident in me. I'm not very skilled."
"Cousin, I have a hunch that you can do it."
Seeing her say that, Song Yu changed the subject, "You came here so early, aren't you also here for your grandmother's eye disease?"
Cheng Qingmeng smiled faintly, like the sunshine on a spring day, "I asked my family doctor for a meridian massage, which he said would help with eye problems, so I got up early and came to give grandma a massage."
"Your family doctor?"
"Yes, he's a good doctor. Mother said he was the village doctor who treated my grandmother back then. If it weren't for him, my grandmother would have died on the way back to Beijing. He has no children, so Father asked him to be the Cheng family's doctor."
Song Yu was slightly shocked, thinking that he would definitely have played an "indispensable role" in the future murder of his aunt's son.
I'm afraid he's not a village doctor, he must have been a member of the Cheng family!
hateful!
"Cousin Meng, is he responsible for the prescriptions your mother used to nourish her pregnancy?"
"right."
Song Yu thought to himself that this was not good, "Didn't the Bo Mansion invite the imperial physician?"
"My grandfather hired Judge Xue, and he was the one who prescribed the prescription for nourishing the fetus. He was also the court physician who was in charge of my mother's daily diet. He was the best at diagnosing whether the baby would be a boy or a girl. When the baby was almost three months old, he diagnosed that my mother was pregnant with a boy."
Song Yu was surprised and asked, "Is his pulse diagnosis so accurate?"
"It's very accurate. He was even asked by other families to take their pulses and he said that if a son was born, it would be a son. He even received a lot of rewards for this."
Seeing Cheng Qingmeng praising her family's doctor so much, Song Yu thought that her aunt also believed in him.
"Cousin Meng, show me that meridian massage."
"good."
Song Yu found that there was no problem and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was too nervous, and the Cheng family would never dare to harm the Jiang family.
"This meridian massage is suitable for nighttime massage before bed. You will live in the Jiang Mansion for the next three months. I will do acupuncture in the morning and you will do massage in the evening. Together we can cure grandma's eye disease, okay?"
"good!"
"By the way, don't tell anyone that I know medical skills, not even grandma."
Cheng Qingmeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm still waiting for you to crush all the noble ladies in the Chaofeng Palace entrance exam in the future. But I definitely can't hide it from my grandparents..."
After Jiang Yunwan had breakfast and chatted with Old Madam Jiang for a while, she went to look for Jiang Youya.
"Dad, you're so kind to Ming En that you gave him the big study."
Jiang Youya smiled and said, "Ming'en is going to take part in the Autumn Examination next year, so I'm naturally keeping an eye on him. As a father, I'm still waiting for him to come back with the top scorer."
Jiang Yunwan was surprised, "Is he serious?"
"Of course it's true. I didn't expect him to be a scholar. He hadn't studied for over 20 years, but he was very knowledgeable about the current national situation. He was a scholar and received a government subsidy. He was the headmaster of a college and taught. The county magistrate couldn't possibly let such a promising young man go to waste. Did he tell you why he didn't continue his studies?"
"Dad, take a look at this first."
