I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Cui Shuyan was puzzled: "Brother Lu?"

Lu Yanqi came back to his senses and immediately lowered his head: "Excuse me."

"Brother Lu, you are too kind. I will have someone take you to see my brother right away."

"Thank you." Lu Yanqi said politely.

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly, found a maid to lead the way, and asked her to take Lu Yanqi to find her brother.

Cui Shuyan didn't take this little episode to heart.

She walked around for a while, felt a little tired, and went back to rest.

Not long after lying down, Doctor He came.

"Quick, come with me to He's house!"

"What's wrong?" Cui Shuyan asked as she stood up.

"Mrs. He is not feeling well again, so the He family sent someone to invite me. I just happened to be passing by your place, so I thought I'd go with you."

"Okay. Qiaoya, quickly find a set of loose clothes to take with you. I'll go change in the carriage." After saying that, Cui Shuyan pulled Doctor He out.

After getting on the carriage, Qiaoya also rushed over.

Cui Shuyan changed into the clothes she brought and asked Qiaoya to comb her hair.

Doctor He was puzzled: "The clothes you were wearing just now were fine, why did you change?"

Cui Shuyan touched her belly and said, "Although my belly is not very obvious, experienced women can still see it. It won't be visible if I change into looser clothes. Mrs. He's family is worried because they don't have children. If I see a pregnant woman in front of me at this time, I'm afraid I won't feel good."

"You are so thoughtful. If it were me, I would never have thought of this." Doctor He sighed and said, "This is not the first time I have gone to see Madam He, but every time I see her, I still feel sad."

"What is Mrs. He's illness?"

"Liver qi is stagnant, which can damage the lungs. When the symptoms are mild, the whole body becomes weak and the patient is bedridden. When the symptoms are severe, the patient may vomit blood or fall into a coma."

As she spoke, Doctor He became extremely worried.

Mrs. He’s illness, after all, is a heart disease.

But the most difficult to cure is heart disease.

After listening to what Doctor He said, Cui Shuyan had a basic understanding of Mrs. He's illness. However, after seeing Mrs. He in person, Cui Shuyan was still surprised.

Mrs. He was lying on the bed, breathing in less than breathing out more.

She was incredibly thin. At first glance, she looked like a skeleton with a layer of skin attached to it. Her eye sockets were sunken and even her eyes were closed.

Only when I heard the noise did I open my eyes with difficulty and take a look.

Immediately, an apologetic and embarrassed expression appeared on her face: "Doctor He, thank you for making another trip. You don't have to come. It's best for me to die like this."

She had no survival instinct.

Just want to die.

Doctor He stepped forward and combed her hair herself: "Mrs. He, don't think too much, everything will be fine. I have been treating you for so long, but your illness has not improved. It just so happens that I brought my junior sister here today and let her treat you."

"Yes, thank you."

Mrs. He found it particularly difficult to say these few simple words.

Cui Shuyan suppressed the bitterness in her heart, walked forward, sat on a low stool, and took her pulse.

Mrs. He's pulse is very weak and can only be felt by pressing very deeply.

After taking Mrs. He's pulse, Cui Shuyan discovered that her condition was much more serious than her senior sister had said.

However, the effect of medicine on Mrs. He's condition is very limited.

This heart disease still needs to be treated with heart medicine.

After prescribing the medicine for Madam He, Cui Shuyan walked out of her courtyard, a little confused: "Senior sister, Madam He's condition is so serious, why is there no one to serve her by her bed?"

"It was Madam He who didn't allow them to get close, saying that seeing them would always remind her of bad things."

In fact, Mrs. He didn't want to see them, but she was worried that they didn't want to see her.

To be honest, the He family's misfortune was all because of her.

If this goes on for a long time, how could her sons and daughters-in-law not feel resentment towards her?

But once her sons and daughters-in-law harbor resentment towards her, she will be branded as unfilial. It would be better for her to speak up first and not let her sons and daughters-in-law get close to her. This would also fulfill their filial piety and avoid being talked about by others.

Cui Shuyan sighed: "Mrs. He is kind-hearted and shouldn't have suffered this."

Over the years, the person who suffered the most was probably Mrs. He.

She is the mistress of the He family, but because of her actions, the He family has no descendants. One can imagine the sadness in her heart.

"Mrs. He tried to commit suicide, but luckily she was rescued."

The person was saved, but his heart was dead.

Cui Shuyan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Senior Sister, can you please ask the three young masters and daughters-in-law of the He family to come over? I want to check their pulses again."

"They have been disappointed too many times, I'm afraid they won't cooperate. Never mind, I'll ask someone to invite them over."

If you invite someone over, you can't invite them to Mrs. He's place. Not only will it disturb her rest, it will also bring back sad memories, which is not good.

Fortunately, there was a small garden outside Mrs. He's yard with a pavilion, which was very suitable for that place.

Cui Shuyan and Doctor He followed the maid's instructions and went to the pavilion in the garden.

The atmosphere in the entire He Mansion was very depressing. Even the servants had cold faces and no sign of smiling.

That's true. In such an atmosphere, who can laugh?

Cui Shuyan waited for a while before she saw four people walking towards her, three women and one man.

"Why are there two missing sons?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Madam He's three sons all serve in the army and usually live in the barracks. However, the court is considerate and will allow the three sons to take turns to rest. In this way, it can ensure that there will be someone to serve Minister He and Madam He."

Not long after Doctor He finished speaking, several people arrived.

When she saw them, Cui Shuyan's heart suddenly ached.

The three daughters-in-law of the He family do not look like nosy people, but they are only in their twenties, but they all look old, with fine lines at the corners of their eyes, and even traces of frowning on their foreheads from years of frowning.

The person in the mansion today is Mrs. He’s eldest son, He Xiuyuan.

He bowed to Doctor He and Cui Shuyan and said anxiously, "Doctor He, please have someone call us over. Is my mother's condition not good?"

"Mrs. He's condition is indeed not optimistic. But I asked you to come here not for her, but to check your pulse again."

At this time, He Xiuyuan finally relaxed, but instead gave a bitter smile: "I have already seen him so many times, is it necessary to see him again?"

"Mr. He, you don't know that my junior sister is very meticulous and has her own unique insights into medicine."

Doctor He didn't say anything more.

She didn't dare to guarantee anything.

The shadow of childlessness has shrouded the He family for too long.

Those who are in it have long given up any hope.

Doctor He even heard that the ruffians in the army once ridiculed the eldest son of the He family, saying that he was a rooster that could not produce offspring and was no different from a eunuch.

Mr. He has heard countless words like this over the years, so much so that although he is only in his twenties, he looks extremely old, like he is in his forties or fifties.

However, even so, after Doctor He opened her mouth, He Xiuyuan did not say anything else and bowed to Cui Shuyan: "Thank you for your help."

After saying that, he sat down in front of Cui Shuyan and stretched out his wrist.

Cui Shuyan took his pulse, followed by the three daughters-in-law of the He family.

When taking the patient's pulse, the four of them were surprisingly calm. They must have had pulse taking experiences similar to today countless times over the years.

It has happened so many times that people have become numb to it.

After taking the pulse, Cui Shuyan's heart sank.
