Chapter 131 Having Offspring is Not Easy
"Your son has a congenital deficiency of kidney essence, so it may be difficult for him to have children in the future," Doctor Lin said after some hesitation.
"How could this be!" Upon hearing this, Madam Xu's hand trembled, and the teacup shattered on the floor.
"Incompetent doctor! It can't possibly be my problem! Mother, find another doctor, I don't believe this is true!" Xu Qingyan was initially a little flustered, but when he thought of Zhao Yuzhi's pregnancy with his child, he quickly calmed down. However, it was extremely shameful for any man to be diagnosed with kidney deficiency, so his words became a bit harsh.
If Song Yushu were here, he might be able to guess why Zhao Yuzhi was able to conceive his child. He could only say that she was the female lead, born with a lucky constitution. If she hadn't separated from Zhou Chengyu in the end, she would probably have a son and a daughter by now.
“Since your son doesn’t believe me, then please find someone more skilled,” Doctor Lin said. His medical skills were superb and he was already famous in the city. Countless families wanted to ask him for help. He was furious at being questioned like this. Without waiting for Madam Xu to stop him, he packed his medicine box and left without looking back.
"Oh dear! You've angered Doctor Lin. What if he never comes to the Xu family again?" Old Madam Xu originally wanted to ask Doctor Lin if there was any way to treat her son's condition, but when she came to her senses, Doctor Lin had already left, and she could only sigh.
"Mother! Go quickly and fetch Doctor Wu. This Doctor Lin is a quack; he can't even diagnose a pulse properly," Xu Qingyan said, eager to prove that she was alright and too lazy to listen to Old Madam Xu's nagging. She urged her to send someone to find Doctor Wu.
Ning Shi, who was standing to the side, did not intend to leave. She stared at the tea on the table with an inscrutable expression, hoping that Xu Qingyan could come up with a different diagnosis.
When Dr. Wu was invited over with a large sum of money, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat heavy. Three pairs of eyes stared intently at him, hoping to hear the answers they wanted from him.
Unfortunately, Dr. Wu calmly delivered the result they least wanted to hear.
"Madam!"
Madam Xu was so overwhelmed with shock that she fainted. Fortunately, Doctor Wu was in the room and gave her acupuncture, which helped her regain consciousness.
"What a terrible thing to do! My poor son! What will become of him! Doctor Wu, you must help him! He must not die without an heir!" As soon as she woke up, Madam Xu grabbed Doctor Wu's arm and cried, begging him to treat her son.
"Although it is not easy for your son to have children, it is not entirely hopeless. I can only prescribe some medicine to nourish his kidney essence and give it a try. It is hard to say how effective it will be," Doctor Wu said, unable to break free from her grip on his forearm. He could only offer a few words of comfort.
"Dr. Wu, just tell us what medicinal herbs you need. As long as he can have a child, our Xu family will go through fire and water to find them for you!"
As if grasping at a straw, Old Madam Xu pleaded with Doctor Wu in a low voice.
Seeing her frenzied state, Doctor Wu knew that ordinary medicines wouldn't be enough to appease a wealthy family like theirs, so he simply replaced several of the herbs with more expensive ones, since the effects would be about the same anyway.
Xu Qingyan was in a daze at the moment, unable to hear the voices of others, and did not even notice when Ning Shi left.
"Madam! Madam! What are you doing!" The old woman beside Madam Ning saw that she was ordering the servants to start packing up her jewelry and clothes, and quickly closed the door.
"Go back to the Ning family! Nanny, I want a divorce from Xu Qingyan! I can't live like this anymore!" Seeing that the door was closed, Ning Shi didn't care whether there were any servants from the Xu family in the room and blurted out the divorce.
"Grandma! I'm begging you, let's calm down first. Didn't the doctor say that Young Master Xu just has difficulty conceiving? There's still hope. As long as he recovers well, he'll be able to have a child!" Ning's wet nurse quickly comforted her.
"He doesn't deserve to wait for me. I'm just an ordinary woman, married into this family for many years and still infertile. Do you know how much I've suffered? I've only been married here for a few years! That old woman has sent me countless herbal medicines, both openly and secretly, and she's always implying that I'm useless. If she really diagnosed me as infertile today, I don't know how many attitudes she would have given me! Now it's her own son's problem. Let's see what face she has to stop me from leaving!"
Ning smashed the vase on the floor, and the maids in the room immediately fell silent.
"Why aren't you cleaning this up right now? Can you take responsibility if the lady gets hurt?"
Ning's wet nurse scolded the maids in the room, and only then did they begin to tidy up the messy floor.
“The wet nurse knows that Miss has suffered grievances since marrying into this family, but we can’t just ignore it and go back to the Ning family. Think about the master’s temperament. He was willing to marry you off to the Xu family against your wishes. How could he let you get a divorce so easily? Let’s think of another way. Don’t rush.”
Ning gradually calmed down with the soothing words of her wet nurse, but the tears on her face could not be stopped: "Wet nurse, why is my life so bitter! It's only been a few years! Xu Qingyan coaxes me on the surface, but behind my back he has done so many dirty things. Does he really think I'm a fool? If it weren't for his kidney deficiency, there would probably be several women outside coming to my door with their children looking for him!"
"Now it's all good. I can't be a mother myself, and I don't have to be a mother to other people's children. It's really great!"
The wet nurse, holding her, listened to her harsh taunts and patted her back with heartache, treating her as if she were still the young lady who had been pampered and protected in the Xu family.
Xu Qingyan listened quietly to the sounds coming from inside the house, his face ashen. He no longer had the courage to go in and turned to leave.
Hahahahaha…
"It's fate! I never thought even Heaven would stand by and do as it pleases. What's the difference between your third brother and a eunuch? Oh my, this is hilarious! Let's see how the Ning family will ever be so arrogant in front of me again!"
With such a commotion in Ning's room, it was impossible for Liu Yue not to know. She finally managed to hold her breath and ran back into the room, where she could finally laugh without restraint.
"Take it easy, no, don't go hanging around the old lady and the third branch of the family these next few days, lest you run into trouble. I won't be able to save you then," Xu Mingchuan said, suppressing a smile as he turned to warn Liu Yue.
"Instead of wasting their time to tormenting me, they should find a few more doctors to examine your third brother. Tsk, the heir the Xu family has been grooming for so long, how embarrassing is this!"
Although Liu Yue said this, she knew she couldn't hide her feelings. If she laughed out loud in front of the old lady, she was afraid she would be kicked out on the spot. So she decided to go out when she had calmed down.
"No, the Xu family can know about this, but you must not spread it outside. Otherwise, it won't just be the third branch that will be embarrassed, but the old lady will also never let the person who spread the news get away with it. Think about it carefully, and don't always do stupid things!"
Xu Mingchuan thought of his children, both sons and daughters, and finally felt that he was superior to Xu Qingyan. He gave Liu Yue, the children's mother, a few more words of advice.
Unfortunately, Liu Yue only felt that he disliked her, and she cursed him a few times in her heart.
