Peerless Physician: The Path of a Foolish Eldest Daughter's Rise to Power

Chapter

A few days later, a young apprentice from Li's Pharmacy came to invite Gu Xinyue; a female patient had come to the pharmacy.

Inside Li's Pharmacy sat a woman dressed in fine clothes with a beautiful face. When she saw Gu Xinyue enter, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself.

"I never imagined that Dr. Gu would be such a miracle doctor at such a young age."

Gu Xinyue smiled without saying a word; she had seen all the woman's expressions and let her words speak for themselves.

After examining the woman, Gu Xinyue began to take her pulse.

"Madam, infertility."

"Dr. Gu, can you cure this?"

"It can be cured, but the treatment method is quite special. I don't know if you can accept it."

"I'm willing to accept anything as long as it can be cured and I can get pregnant as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'd like to know more about your condition?"

It turns out that the woman and her husband were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were young. They had been married for eight years but had no children. Last year, under pressure from his mother-in-law, her husband took a concubine, but there has still been no good news of the concubine getting pregnant.

"Madam, you know that pregnancy is not only related to women, but also to men."

The woman pondered for a moment. Yes, when her husband took a concubine, her mother-in-law had three doctors examine her and confirmed that the woman was in good health before taking her as a concubine.

In order to have a child, the husband often stayed in the concubine's room, and rumors spread throughout the mansion that he doted on his concubine, which made him very anxious.

"My husband is here, how will you treat him?"

"Now that your husband is here, I can just take your pulse and then determine your treatment plan."

"How to say?"

“If your husband is fine, I will treat you. If it’s a minor issue, I will prescribe a remedy for him, and you will also need treatment. If it’s a major issue, I don’t think you need to suffer. In short, we’ll discuss everything once your husband arrives.”

"it is good."

The next morning, at Li's Pharmacy, Gu Xinyue saw the elegant lady from the previous day and a refined and handsome young man. After taking the young man's pulse, Gu Xinyue determined that he had no major problems and could be treated with herbal decoction.

After explaining the man's situation, Gu Xinyue explained to them that the woman needed to undergo minor surgery, which would leave a small scar on her abdomen, but she would definitely be able to get pregnant.

The lady was very depressed. She could endure any amount of bitter medicine she took, but she couldn't accept the scars on her body. She was afraid that her husband would despise her.

The young man comforted her, saying, "Madam, I will never despise you. Let's get treatment as soon as possible and have a child sooner. Then your mother will stop nagging, and your life in the manor will be much easier."

Seeing that the lady was still hesitant, Gu Xinyue led her into the inner room, found Madam Li, and explained the situation.

When the lady saw Li Niangzi's scar, a tiny thin line, she finally agreed.

She held Gu Xinyue's hand and said, "Thank you. I will receive treatment here. I hope you can help me achieve my wish soon. We will repay you handsomely."

The young man's face lit up with joy when he learned that his wife had agreed to the surgery. They stood there without speaking, but a single glance was enough for them to understand each other's thoughts.

This is a couple who love each other deeply. Gu Xinyue is thinking about how they have withstood the pressure from their elders after being married for eight years without having children.

She thought about how her parents only had her as their child, and how loving her parents must have been.

Gu Xinyue looked at them and said, "Come early tomorrow. Have a great time in Su County today."

Gu Xinyue gave the young man the prescription she had just written and also explained the precautions.

"Where is my wife's prescription?"

"I won't take it for now. After the surgery, we'll see how things go. I'll drink the herbal medicine for a few days, and then I won't need to drink it anymore."

"Really? Madam, you won't have to take medicine every day anymore," the young man said happily.

The woman glanced at the young man, her face beaming with a blissful happiness.

"You can't have sex for three months after the surgery." Gu Xinyue smiled at the young man. "You can't have sex either. You two need to keep a happy mood. Your wife will be pregnant in six months."

Upon hearing this, the young man's expression brightened: "I am Shi Jin. Thank you for your great kindness, Doctor Gu. We will all listen to you."

Gu Xinyue smiled and said, "It's not too late to thank Madam Shi after she becomes pregnant."

Back at the Gu residence, Shen Quan and Gu An were waiting for her. They told Gu Xinyue that Shi Jin, the prefect of Mianzhou, had visited Li's Pharmacy that day.

The Du family father and son are in jail, but their son-in-law, the county magistrate, has been released. He is looking for someone to get the Du family father and son out of jail.

Early in the morning, Gu Xinyue arrived at Li's Pharmacy. Doctor Li had already prepared the operating room. She was ready when Shi Jin and his wife arrived.

They brought two maids and a nanny with them today, and Madam Shi was in very good spirits.

Half an hour later, after Gu Xinyue finished her surgery, Shi Jin saw her and hurriedly asked, "Dr. Gu, how is my wife?"

"The surgery was a success. Go check on her now; she'll wake up soon."

Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Doctor Gu."

After Gu Xinyue finished speaking, she explained in detail the precautions and care after the operation to the nanny brought by Madam Shi.

Once Madam Shi wakes up, Shi Jin will leave. He has important business to attend to in Mianzhou. He instructs the maids and servants to take good care of Madam Shi, and he will return in a few days.

Gu Xinyue watched as Mrs. Shi told her that the surgery was successful and that she should pay attention to a light diet and do some gentle exercise in the next few days.

Mrs. Shi told her that they had a great time in Su County yesterday and learned about the Du family, the local bullies. Many people were applauding the imprisonment of the Du father and son.

Seeing that Madam Shi was chatting happily with the maids and servants, Gu Xinyue left.

Just as she stepped out of Li's Pharmacy, she saw Chu Yize, whom she hadn't seen for several days. He was dressed in a purple-red brocade robe, tall and slender, looking at Gu Xinyue with tenderness on his face.

"Xinyue, let's have lunch together when you're done."

In the private room of Yajuzhai, Chu Yize gave Gu Xinyue a letter.

Gu Xinyue looked at the words "To Gu Xinyue" on the envelope, which were elegant and unrestrained. She calmly opened the letter, which contained only one piece of paper. The letter was written by her maternal grandfather.

It turned out that her mother had been living with the Yang family all along. She missed her mother very much, and everything else was fine.

Gu Xinyue's maternal grandfather told her to prepare to return to Beijing, where her coming-of-age ceremony would be held.

Gu Xinyue stared at the letter, her mind filled with the joy of returning to the capital and seeing her mother. She was born in the first month of the lunar calendar, and her coming-of-age ceremony was just over three months away. In other words, she would definitely be able to see her mother within three months.

"So happy?"

These words pulled Gu Xinyue back to reality. She turned her head and saw Chu Yize smiling, looking at her with focused tenderness. His already handsome face looked even more beautiful when he smiled. Gu Xinyue felt that Chu Yize's face was too attractive, and she always wanted to take a second look at it.

"Of course I'm happy. I'm going back to Beijing. I miss my parents. I want to go back and be their little cotton-padded jacket."

“If you’re still staying at home in two years, your mother will get worried.”

"I'll just stay by my mother's side."

What are your plans for the future?

"I'll go back to the capital first and see Mother. I just want to stay by Mother's side. If Father comes back, I'll take care of both of us. What about you?"
