Chapter 96 Back Pain Again
Xiao Si asked the servants to arrange a new courtyard, and Zhao Xiaofei accompanied Zhang Shulan the whole time. Zhang Shulan sat in the main room, looking around, touching here and there, and everything seemed good to her!
"Xiao Fei! Do you think I'm dreaming? I still don't quite believe it's real!" said Zhang Shulan.
"It's true! Do you have any other requests?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"This is much better than where I used to live. It's about 500 square meters, right?" Zhang Shulan asked.
"Just live here for now. If I can reach Beijing one day, I will let you live in the Forbidden City! Except for where the queen lives, you can choose any place you like!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Okay! I hope there will be such a day! The two wives you mentioned just now were prostitutes, right?" Zhang Shulan asked.
"Yes! They have all become good people! The one who has a child now is someone I met in the capital. His name is Kou Baimen, and I married him because of this dress! This is the first time I've seen him!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Oh! One of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai?" Zhang Shulan asked in surprise.
"You also know the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"I'm from Nanjing. Although I only know how to perform surgery, the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai are so famous, how could I not know them? Do you know why I can tell that they are both prostitutes?" Zhang Shulan asked.
"Women in ancient times, especially prostitutes, often drank small amounts of arsenic with wine to keep their skin fair. When I was studying medicine, one of my teachers talked about this in class! Both of them had naturally fair skin, but it was abnormally white! Especially Kou Baimen, she must have eaten a lot of it." Zhang Shulan said.
"Ah? What about their health? Will it be bad for the baby?" Zhao Xiaofei was a little anxious!
"I don't know! Next time, ask your brother to get the laboratory. We need to do an ultrasound and test for Down syndrome screening for her!" Zhang Shulan said.
"But the baby in my belly is so big. Even if it is a stupid baby, we can't do an induced abortion!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Let's take a gamble! I'm afraid the child might be deformed! But there's still a chance Kou Baimen can be saved. Feed her mung beans, dates, and pig liver to slowly remove toxins from her body and slowly nurture her!" Zhang Shulan said, lowering her head to write again. After finishing, she handed the note to Zhao Xiaofei. "Here's the medicine. Ask your brother to buy it and give it to your two wives!"
"Oh! I see!" Zhao Xiaofei took the note, looking a little depressed.
"Now I know what's going on! You want to build a career here, right?" Zhang Shulan said.
"I don't have any requests. If you can succeed, just make me a medical god here! Also, build two graves for my husband and daughter's ashes in the yard. I want them to accompany me forever!" said Zhang Shulan.
"Let's discuss it. We'll put your ashes in one room first, so that you can hold memorial services every day. When I reach the capital, I'll give you a whole courtyard house within the second ring road of Beijing, and then we'll build your grave. Wouldn't that save you the trouble of digging up the graves all the time?" Zhao Xiaofei felt uncomfortable at the thought of having two graves in the yard.
"Okay! Then I'll listen to you!" said Zhang Shulan.
Zhao Xiaofei returned to his and Li Sihong's courtyard. Li Sihong asked, "Auntie, are you satisfied?"
"Let me ask you, did you often drink small amounts of arsenic in order to keep your skin white?" Zhao Xiaofei asked anxiously.
"I haven't done this since I married you! The same goes for Baimen! What's wrong, husband?" Li Sihong said.
"Nothing? My aunt was afraid that something might happen to you, so she asked me to ask. Also, I need to get some medicine. You can rest alone at night!" Zhao Xiaofei was afraid that Li Sihong would feel burdened, so he didn't dare to say much and had to pretend to be calm.
"If you're not in a hurry, why don't you consummate your marriage with Kou Baimen first before leaving?" Li Sihong obviously didn't take it seriously.
"No! You and the child are the most important. I'll go first and be back soon!" Zhao Xiaofei said and left. Li Sihong called him from behind, but he didn't hear.
Zhao Xiaofei walked away, and Kou Baimen came in from the side door. She bowed and asked, "Sister! Where is my husband? Is my aunt living well?"
"Aunt is fine! Aunt said there might be something wrong with my body, and my husband was worried and went to find medicine for me! When he comes back, I will definitely let him go to your place first!" Li Sihong said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay! My sister's health is the most important! This also shows that my husband is a man who values love and friendship, and he deserves more respect!" Kou Baimen said.
Zhao Xiaofei returned to the warehouse and traveled back in time. He immediately found his elder brother and said, "Brother! Are these medicines easy to deal with?"
"It's okay, I'll call a few friends and it will be fine soon! Who was poisoned?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"Li Sihong and Kou Baimen! They used to eat arsenic to ensure their fair skin. I'm afraid they have chronic arsenic poisoning. I'm even more afraid that it will affect the fetus!" Zhao Xiaofei said anxiously.
"Okay! You go ahead and get busy! We'll have it done the day after tomorrow!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"Okay! Then I'll go back first! You try to be quick!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Don't worry! I will consider my future nephew!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
Zhao Xiaofei then traveled back to the Ming Dynasty manor. Li Sihong asked, "Did you bring the medicine back?"
"You can get it in a few days!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Then let's go to Sister Baimen's place tonight! She admires you very much!" Li Sihong said with a smile.
"I'm tired, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Zhao Xiaofei said and wanted to go to bed.
"No! We must go today! I promised her!" Li Sihong said anxiously.
"I'm so tired!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"If you're tired, go sleep with her, so you don't have to touch my belly at night!" said Li Sihong.
