Chapter 261 is yours.
When they returned to the yamen, more than twenty victims were already following behind them.
Half of them miscarried after taking the medication for one or two months, so none of them suspected the fertility drug.
The other two stammered and said that the child was born very weak and died after living for a few hours.
Lu Qingqing probably also gave birth to an intersex child, which they disposed of privately.
Another case involved a pregnant woman who grew a beard and became extremely sexually active, almost obsessively so, to the point that her husband couldn't handle it anymore. Eventually, she couldn't resist and had an affair.
Now the man is just waiting for her to give birth to the child so he can divorce her!
And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The people sent out to search Song the Doctor's house returned with a full thousand taels of silver notes and a number of gold and silver jewelry.
Her household registration was also found; she came from a small town a thousand miles away from Ming'an County.
Based on the minimum dosage of three doses, which costs three taels of silver, at least three or four hundred people must have bought the fertility pills.
That means she ruined three or four hundred families along the way!
Magistrate Xu confiscated the property on the spot and sentenced Doctor Song to death.
She made money but didn't live to enjoy it; I wonder if she regrets it now.
It's too late for regrets; the mistake has already been made.
There's no going back.
Those victims who are beating their chests in despair will have to swallow their bitter pills themselves.
Lu Qingqing said to Magistrate Xu, "The root cause of this disaster is the low status of women and the idea that men are superior."
In addition, they were ignorant and lacked medical knowledge.
In fact, whether a child is a boy or a girl is determined by the man.
What kind of seed will sprout what kind of bud.
But people always place the blame on women.
"So that's how it is." Magistrate Xu was surprised to learn this for the first time.
Yes, that's right.
Lu Qingqing knew that she was not authoritative enough at this time.
Even if it's promoted, it might not have much effect.
However, the idea of writing a medical classic had already taken root in my mind.
Eat your food one bite at a time, and walk your path one step at a time.
One day, this medical knowledge will spread to all parts of the world.
Lu Qingqing carried the child out of the government office.
A horse-drawn carriage was already waiting.
"Miss Lu, please get in the car."
"Mo Lang? You're all better now?"
Mo Lang was still dressed in his usual black clothes, and his handsome face still showed traces of paleness from the recent recovery from serious injuries.
However, they seem to be in good spirits.
"It wasn't for nothing that I gave you good medicine to eat."
Lu Qingqing looked distressed: "You've used up all the medicine I refined. Your life is really precious!"
We must cherish this opportunity from now on.
Mo Lang bent his knees and knelt on the ground, kowtowing deeply.
"Thank you for saving my life, Miss."
"The young master said that from now on, my life is yours."
"Oh, you're too kind, what use would I be to your life..."
Before Lu Qingqing could finish speaking, she heard someone calling her from afar.
A horse-drawn carriage sped toward this place.
A young maidservant waved vigorously from inside the carriage.
"Dr. Lu, Dr. Lu..."
Lu Qingqing recognized her, but couldn't quite place who she was.
As soon as the carriage arrived, the maid cried out anxiously, "Doctor Lu, please come and see my mistress! She has a stomachache and is bleeding. Only you can save her!"
Lu Qingqing recognized her; it turned out to be Li Molan's maid.
"Please, please save my wife's baby, Dr. Lu. We heard what you said on the street. That fertility drug is poisonous. You should be able to concoct an antidote, right?"
Lu Qingqing, who was about to go with her, stopped.
"Did your wife take a fertility drug?"
"Yes, she was supposed to stop taking the medicine after taking one dose, but I didn't expect my husband to have a mistress outside. When my wife found out, she was so angry that she almost miscarried."
Later, the master said that if she gave birth to a son, he would sell his mistress, so my wife started taking the fertility drug again...
She's been feeling unwell lately, and the doctor said the pregnancy is unstable and she needs to rest in bed. Today, she heard that the "fertility-boosting medicine" is poison, and she got so excited that she started bleeding.
"Dr. Lu, why aren't you leaving?"
Lu Qingqing was powerless.
It's true, good advice is like a deaf person's ear.
"Go back. If things don't work out, it's fate. Don't force yourself to stay; staying would only make you a heretic."
"No, Doctor Lu! You must save my lady. It wasn't easy for her to get pregnant like this... Please have mercy, my lady says only you can save her..." The maid was loyal and tearful.
Lu Qingqing shook her head again: "It's beyond saving. What's done is done, and there's no going back. I can't go back in time to stop her from taking that fertility drug."
Go back and find a doctor to prescribe some medication to induce a miscarriage. Taking care of your health is the most important thing.
Lu Qingqing then boarded Mo Lang's carriage.
Mo Lang waited until she was seated in the carriage before raising his whip.
The little maid was still crying:
"Dr. Lu..."
...
Lu Qingqing thought that Mo Lang would go back after dropping her off, but to her surprise, he unloaded the carriage, led the horses into her family's stable, went out for a while, found a few villagers, and started building a shed by the wall of the Lu family's house.
"Mo Lang, what are you doing?"
Mo Lang, holding his sword, replied matter-of-factly, "I'll follow you."
"What are you doing following me? Don't you have anything else to do?"
"Young master, I am yours."
"..."
The villagers' eyes were like motion-sensor lights; as soon as the words were spoken, they all lit up.
"So Brother Mo Lang is with Miss Qing Qing now, then we'll be from the same village from now on!"
“Brother Mo Lang, building a shed is no trouble at all. Don’t worry about money, just give me two steamed buns.”
"Yes, yes, I'll show you around the neighborhood tomorrow so you can get to know our village."
"Wow, that build, that height, no wonder..."
Mo Lang felt the villagers' enthusiasm, and a smile curved his lips as he nodded.
Thank you everyone.
"Oh, no need to thank me, we're all family!"
Miss Qingqing has excellent taste. Young Brother Molang is handsome, upright, and skilled in martial arts. You can't find anyone as outstanding as him within dozens of miles.
Why don't you come sleep at my place first? Why bother building a shed? We can do that after you get married..."
Mo Lang's expression changed drastically, and his eyebrows shot up.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Miss Qingqing is my mistress!"
The villagers were stunned: "..."
Unexpectedly, Mo Lang's expression changed so suddenly that a bone-chilling cold seemed to emanate from him.
That's terrifying!
Lu Qingqing was speechless, wondering if her purchase of a husband could ever be forgotten.
Look how frightened Mo Lang is; his face has turned even paler, as if he has been seriously injured again.
"Hey, hey, that's a misunderstanding, we're just building the shed..."
Good heavens, living in a shack here, isn't that just being a "watchdog"?
Such a handsome young man is truly a rare find.
"Don't rush," Lu Qingqing stopped the villagers.
Then he said to Mo Lang, "Go back. It's a waste of your talents to work for me. You should stay with your young master."
Mo Lang remained silent, only kneeling on the ground.
Head bowed, body ramrod straight, respectful yet unyielding.
