After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

"Our Xue family girl is quite remarkable. She can become an apprentice of a divine doctor and has prepared so many gifts for us. In the future, we will definitely have to trouble Ruan Ruan girl if we have a headache or fever."

The Xue family only had one daughter, Xue Ruanruan, and she had a lot of aunts and uncles who doted on her.

"Ruan Ruan, could you help your second cousin's wife get a medical check-up?"

Ever since the Third Madam learned that the Xue family's daughter had become an apprentice of the divine physician, she had kept this matter in mind.

My second son has been married for five or six years, but his wife still hasn't gotten pregnant.

We consulted renowned doctors throughout the capital, and the dregs of their medicines piled up like a mountain, but they still couldn't cure the illness. The doctors couldn't pinpoint the problem either, which was truly distressing.

She came from the prestigious Jiang family in Jiangnan. She was humble and polite in her dealings with others, and was well-liked by the younger generation.

She has the gentlest personality among the sisters-in-law, and her soft-spoken manner is very pleasant to listen to.

Unfortunately, her husband died in battle when he was young, and she became a widow at a young age, raising her three sons to adulthood.

Fortunately, the three children were quite promising, all of them joining the army and serving in the Xue family's army.

The eldest son, Xue Hengshan, was appointed as a second-rank general, the second son, Xue Hengyi, was appointed as a third-rank assistant general, and the third son, Xue Hengli, was appointed as a strategist.

At her age, she should be enjoying her retirement, but her second daughter-in-law's belly is not showing any signs of pregnancy, which makes her worry about the younger generation.

According to the Xue family's ancestral precepts, once a Xue family son is married, he may not take a concubine. Even if he is unable to have children, he may only adopt a child from the clan. Under no circumstances may he divorce his wife.

A man who mistreats his wife will never accumulate wealth; this is a truth our ancestors understood long ago.

"Of course, Second Sister-in-law, please come to the front of the hall. Let Ruan Ruan take your pulse first."

Xue Ruanruan looked at her second sister-in-law, who was sitting in the far corner with a somewhat timid expression, and felt a pang of heartache in her eyes.

My second sister-in-law is a very good person. She is gentle, quiet, and generous. However, she has been unable to conceive for several years after marriage, which has caused her increasing psychological pressure and made her timid and withdrawn.

Although Third Grandmother never said anything, she felt that it was her own fault that she could not bear children for her husband, and the sorrow on her face grew day by day.

The Third Madam did not necessarily want her second daughter-in-law to have a child. The eldest son's family had three sons, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to give one of them to the second son's family.

She felt sorry for her second daughter-in-law who had to endure gossip every day. Just then, her granddaughter was found and became an apprentice of the divine doctor, which made her decide to consider this option.

"Thank you for your help, little sister."

When Lu was suddenly called out, she nervously clenched her handkerchief, walked to the front of the hall, and extended her slender white wrist for Xue Ruanruan to take her pulse.

"Second sister-in-law, don't be nervous, relax, let me gently check your pulse."

Xue Ruanruan gently placed her fair, jade-like fingertips on Lu's wrist, carefully taking her pulse.

Everyone watched the two of them quietly, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Xue Ruanruan's pulse diagnosis.

"So, little sister, am I infertile?"

As Madam Lu watched Xue Ruanruan's expression gradually become serious, her brows furrowed, and she grew increasingly nervous and uneasy, even her last glimmer of hope was shattered. She asked in a trembling voice.

"Second sister-in-law, please don't worry. It's not that you can't have children, it's just that there's a small problem."

After hearing that she was not infertile, Ms. Lu felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders and completely relaxed.

Then he looked at her with concern and said, "What's wrong? Please tell me, little sister."

"Does my second sister-in-law like spicy and stimulating foods? She's always inexplicably depressed and gloomy, but she never vents it."

Although I did not inherit my master's divination skills, I can still interpret some basic questions.

Judging from her appearance, she's the kind of person who takes everything to heart.

"Ruan Ruan is really something. Your second cousin's wife loves spicy food."

Before she married, Lady Lu had spent several years stationed in the southwest with her father. She had a particular fondness for the local cuisine and would send someone to buy spices from there every year for the cooks to use when preparing dishes.

"But what does this have to do with infertility?"

The three old ladies couldn't connect the two things at all. Could dietary differences lead to infertility?

If that's the case, then all the residents of the southwest eat like that, and I've never heard of it causing infertility.
