After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.
Chapter 42 First Encounter in the Capital
Xue Ruanruan was startled, but quickly recovered and took her second sister-in-law's hand to comfort her.
When she inadvertently felt her pulse, she was startled.
Such a severe case of uterine coldness! How could my second sister-in-law have such a heavy dose of coldness in her body?
"What's wrong, little sister? Is there something troubling you? You don't have to eat the fruit."
Arthur was the first to sense that something was wrong with Xue Ruanruan, and assumed that she was troubled by the matter of the fruit, so she quickly comforted her.
"Second sister-in-law, the excessive coldness in your body may affect your fertility."
Xue Ruanruan always speaks her mind to her family without reservation.
"Excessive cold? What is that?"
Arthur had only been married into the general's household for three years, and was usually very healthy, rarely even catching a cold. She knew very little about traditional Chinese medicine.
Xue Ruanruan's overly serious expression gave her a vague sense of unease, making her feel both afraid and confused.
"Coldness is divided into real coldness and false coldness. Real coldness is caused by the invasion of cold evil qi from the external environment into the human body or by the direct intake of cold foods, which damages the yang qi in the body and makes the yin qi prevail."
Deficiency-coldness is caused by a deficiency of spleen and kidney yang, which prevents the body from properly transporting and transforming dampness, resulting in the accumulation and stagnation of cold qi in the body's meridians and internal organs, which cannot be expelled.
Whether it's deficiency-cold or excess-cold, once pathogenic cold enters the body and accumulates in the uterus, it can impair its function, and in severe cases, lead to infertility.
Xue Ruanruan gave a highly professional explanation of what "cold uterus" means, leaving Asri completely confused.
She couldn't understand her younger sister's words, but she probably sensed that this was a very serious illness, which could lead to infertility if it was severe.
A hint of disappointment flashed in her misty, light blue eyes when she thought about childbirth.
She had not seen her husband for three years and missed that strong and handsome man very much.
If she cannot bear him children, even if the Xue family does not allow him to take a concubine, it will still be an excruciating pain for her.
She couldn't help but stroke her flat stomach, longing to give her husband a smart and adorable boy like her younger brother, or a beautiful and intelligent girl like her younger sister.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are content as long as it's their baby.
Her younger sister's words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering all her beautiful fantasies.
"Little sister, don't you know medicine? You must save my second sister-in-law. Please, I still want to have children for my husband, and I want to have several children as brave and handsome as him."
Arthur was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she clung tightly to Xue Ruanruan's arm as if grasping at the last straw.
"Ruanruan, don't scare your second sister-in-law. Your medical skills are superb. Can you cure Li'er's uterine coldness?"
The old lady felt a pang of pity as she looked at her terrified granddaughter-in-law.
No one understands better than her how important childbirth is to a woman.
Because we understand, we can better comprehend their difficulties and try our best not to put pressure on the children.
She was once a daughter-in-law herself, and back then, her mother-in-law never treated her with the same level of care and consideration that daughters-in-law show to their granddaughters-in-law.
Regardless of wind, rain, scorching heat, or freezing cold, the morning and evening greetings are indispensable, and even menstruation cannot prevent them.
If it weren't for the old Duke protecting her, she would have been nothing but bones by now, and she wouldn't be able to enjoy such family happiness and live such a comfortable life.
The suffering I endured in my early years is unspeakable; I can only try to be kinder to the younger generation.
"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although your cold uterus is quite severe, it's not incurable. Once I'm done with these few days, I'll prescribe some medicine for you. With proper nourishment, you'll definitely give birth to a healthy, chubby baby boy in the near future."
Xue Ruanruan knew what her second sister-in-law liked to hear, so she catered to her tastes and comforted her gently.
In her previous life, she always thought her second sister-in-law was healthy and didn't think anything of it. She only carefully checked her second brother's pulse after he returned from the battlefield.
My second brother is often away fighting in the army, and getting injured is a common occurrence for him. It is essential to treat him and help him recover.
Fortunately, she took good care of her second brother's health, but in the end, he was unable to have a child with his sister-in-law.
At that time, she always thought there was plenty of time, but she never expected to receive an imperial edict to exterminate her entire family.
She knew that her second brother loved children very much, ever since he was a child, and he never complained about how he treated her and her younger brother.
"That's great. I'll bother you again after I'm done with my work, Second Sister-in-law."
With a huge weight lifted from her heart, Arthur, who had been terrified and whose face was streaked with tears, revealed a charming smile.
"My second sister-in-law seems very healthy, so why does she have such a severe case of uterine coldness?"
This was the part that Xue Ruanruan found hardest to understand. Her second sister-in-law was cheerful and lively, and her activity level was even higher than that of the ladies from prominent families in the capital.
Her diet was almost identical to that of the other people in the mansion, so how did she develop such a severe case of uterine coldness?
"I don't know either, I just eat more peaches and melons, about the same as my sister-in-law."
Arthur looked bewildered, not knowing what the problem was.
"The fruits and vegetables are fine; they wouldn't cause such a severe cold-related illness. It's more like the cold pathogen entered the body in a short period of time, causing the cold to accumulate and remain in the body."
Xue Ruanruan frowned.
"Ah! I remember now. When I was little, I was naughty and playful. One winter, I went with my father to fish in the frozen river. I accidentally fell into the icy water and swallowed a lot of cold water before I was rescued."
Arthur was a little embarrassed; she would have forgotten about that unpleasant experience long ago if her younger sister hadn't brought it up.
"So that's how it is. It must be because the large amount of cold that entered the body was not expelled in time, causing the cold to accumulate in the body and not be released."
Now that we've found the cause, things are much easier; we can start prescribing medication.
The herbs grown in this space are many times more effective than ordinary herbs outside. Diseases that would take half a year to cure with ordinary medicine can be cured in just two months with herbs produced in this space.
"Little sister, can my cold uterus really be cured?"
Arthur was uneasy, fearing that Xue Ruanruan was just trying to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law. I said I can cure any disease, and I won't lie to you."
"Yes, Second Sister-in-law trusts Little Sister's medical skills."
A huge weight lifted from her heart; it was a false alarm. Asri's pale face began to flush, and a smile returned to her expression.
"Every medicine has some side effects. I'll bring out more fruits tomorrow; eating those can also nourish the body."
Looking at her family members whose complexions weren't very healthy, Xue Ruanruan secretly resolved to start by adjusting their diet to make them all plump and healthy.
She had accumulated many recipes for medicinal cuisine in her previous life, and she would definitely record them into a book when she had time, so that her family could easily refer to them.
There are also many techniques for strengthening the body, which should be compiled into a picture book so that everyone can practice them when my father and brothers return to the capital from fighting on the frontier.
She learned this technique by chance from a master in her previous life. She cured the master's terminal illness, and in return, the master passed on this technique to her.
Unfortunately, before he could teach his father and brothers, the Xue family was ordered to be exterminated by the new emperor.
