Su Yuejian received an invitation from her cousin Wang and was just thinking about going to meet this uncle she had never met.

I heard that this person is now serving as the Censor of the Military Department, an official who assists the emperor in handling military memorials.

Su Yuejian thought that it was her first visit, so she brought a few jars of strong liquor "Yuejianzui" to her uncle, various soaps and skin care lotions to her aunt, a set of cosmetics sold by the Crown Princess to her cousin, and the foreign paper she bought last time to her cousin.

After packing up their things, they took Qiuju and Dongmei with them, and Uncle Wei drove the carriage, traveling slowly and at a leisurely pace.

When they arrived at Wang's house, Wang Wenjun and her mother Liu had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Greetings to Princess Zhongli!"

Su Yuejian smiled and said, "We are family, just call me Yue'er."

"Aunt is fine! Cousin is fine!"

"This is a little gift from me, I hope you don't mind."

"How could that be? These things are in high demand and in limited supply. They are good things that ordinary people can't buy with money."

Liu looked at the gifts and really liked them. Each gift was just right and not out of place.

Looking at Su Yuejian, what a good girl she is, Liu regretted not getting to know her earlier, what a pity...

"You two go and talk, I'll go and prepare the food."

The Wang family was also a prominent family for generations. Although their family was a side branch, they were also influenced by the family, and the children in the family were well educated.

His son Wang Chuanmeng was a military scholar, but he was also an excellent calligrapher and painter. He was in the military camp and could only go home once at the end of the month.

Her daughter, Wang Wenjun, was proficient in music, good at playing the zither, famous for her literary talent, and beautiful but not delicate.

Su Yuejian and Wang Wenjun hit it off right away. They didn't have time to say a few words to each other last time, so this time they really felt like they had met too late.

Although Wang Wenjun was born and raised in an official family, she seemed to have grown up alone in silence.

Many of her ideas are similar to Su Yuejian's. For example, she doesn't care about marriage and doesn't have to get married when she is fifteen.

She would rather miss it than settle for it.

She does not agree with blind marriage, and would like to try to find someone who is in tune with her heart.

She did not agree that men could take concubines, and if they did, she would divorce them.

She didn't like the boring life in the backyard, she liked nature, and wanted to travel and see places outside the capital if she had the chance.

She doesn't like blind marriages arranged by parents or matchmakers. If she likes someone, she will pursue him boldly. Time is short and she must not leave any regrets for herself!

If I didn't know for sure that she was a native here, I would have doubted whether she was a fellow villager.

The two chatted happily. Liu personally brought some fruit over, "Yue'er, come and have some fruit!"

"Thank you, auntie!"

Su Yuejian had another purpose for coming to her uncle's house, which was to confirm how the original owner's mother died and the matter of this family's genetic disease.

"Aunt, you know I'm a medical practitioner. I came here today because I have another question I want to ask you. If I've offended you in any way, please forgive me, Yue'er."

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Wang Wenjun said, "There is nothing you can't ask or answer. Mother, I know everything."

"Why did my grandmother die?"

Talking about this, Liu was so sad that she burst into tears. She didn't ask her daughter to marry into a good family, she only hoped that her daughter would never get sick and that her Wang family could support her daughter for the rest of her life.

“Your grandmother gave birth to your uncle first, and then three years later, she gave birth to your mother. When she was about 35 years old, it felt like there was a stone in her breast, and she died a few months later.

Then, after your great aunt gave birth to a child, she initially had breast problems, then she started to have bone pains all over her body, and finally she couldn’t bear it anymore and became so thin that she was unrecognizable. She left her child and passed away. She was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old at that time.

Unexpectedly, eighteen years later, when your mother gave birth to you, the same situation occurred.

It is said that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for women, but they have gone through the gates of hell, but still lost their lives. "

Liu wiped her tears as she spoke.

My grandmother, my great aunt, and my mother all died of systemic illness shortly after giving birth, after they discovered lumps in their breasts.

And the age of onset is gradually getting younger, which means it is hereditary breast cancer. Ninety-nine percent of the Wang family has a familial breast cancer gene.

"Yue'er, do you think all the women in our family are cursed?" Liu's face was filled with grief and indignation. "Oh my God, why do you treat us women like this?"

Because of this situation, his daughter Wang Wenjun, who is only sixteen years old this year, is still unmarried.

Liu had already thought that perhaps if she didn't get married and have children she wouldn't get sick. Even if she couldn't escape this fate in the end, at least she could live comfortably in her parents' home.

"Aunt, don't be sad. There are solutions. My situation is actually the same as my cousin's. We both have this risk."

Su Yuejian spoke of this calmly, as if she was not surprised at all, and even more calmly as if she didn't care that the risk might cost someone's life.

Yes, it is that kind of calmness that comes from having everything under control.

"Cousin, do your breasts swell and hurt when you have your period? Do you touch and check yourself when you bathe?"

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter seriously, and Wang Wenjun said, "Yes, I touched it. I touched a small lump recently, but it didn't hurt or itch."

When Liu heard this, tears started to flow again. "Son, why didn't you tell me?"

Wang Wenjun smiled bitterly, "Talking about it won't change anything, it will only make me sad. Since I can't live to the length of others, I might as well live to my width.

I am physically in the backyard, but my mind is outside the world."

When Mrs. Liu looked at her strong and sensible daughter, her heart ached as if it was about to explode.

Su Yuejian stepped forward, helped up her aunt who was crying uncontrollably, and persuaded her, "To be honest with you, aunt, cousin, I have been studying this disease with the hermit master since I was a child.

So don't be determined to die before anything happens. There is a small chance that you will never get sick.

Even if the disease eventually breaks out, there is still hope as long as the source of the disease is resolved before then."

After hearing what Su Yuejian said, the two of them burst into hope for life. They looked at Su Yuejian with hope, urging her to tell them in more detail.

"If you don't mind, cousin, I need to give you a breast exam."
