Chapter 443 - 443: How Enjoyable It Would Be to Eat a Little Tofu
A person who ran a medical clinic had someone come seeking consultation. Liu Shimei naturally couldn’t refuse, she smiled and said, “I have said before, Fusheng Pavilion has no threshold. In the presence of a physician, patients are not categorized. As long as you enter the doors of Fusheng Pavilion, we will do our best to treat you. Whether the treatment is effective or not depends on the specific situation, but as a doctor, I always need to take a look at the patient first.”
In front of so many people, Miao Linglong invited her to consult. Firstly, she had to seize the opportunity to build her reputation, and secondly, she had to maintain her dignity.
She looked at Miao Linglong and said, “Miss Miao, please go inside, register your consultation with Manager Xu, I will prepare my medical kit in the consultation room and follow you shortly.”
“Thank you!” Miao Linglong bowed politely.
Fusheng Pavilion required consultations to be registered in a roster, a practice that was truly innovative, signifying that all those seeking medical attention would leave records behind.
This was the rule of Fusheng Pavilion, and everyone who came had to abide by it, otherwise, they would not be able to find a doctor to treat them.
Miao Linglong went through the process, while Liu Shimei prepared her medical kit.
Mo’er and Lian Qiao were helping her pack. Lian Qiao asked, “Eldest Young Miss, the things you instructed us to prepare seem to be medicines related to gynecology.”
“Yes.” Liu Shimei nodded, saying, “I heard that the Duchess An has been ill for ten years, but the specific illness hasn’t been disclosed. I guess it must be a hidden ailment.”
Hidden ailments in men are related to urology, so naturally, in women, they are related to gynecology.
In ancient times, it was normal for gynecological diseases not to be easily cured. After all, due to the limitations of the era, female doctors could not have the qualifications to practice. Even with someone like Shu Han’s influence, female doctors from the Shu family could not enter the imperial hospital. In rural areas, being a barefoot doctor might still be possible, but in the capital’s noble households, they wouldn’t easily allow an unknown female doctor to examine their bodies.
Lian Qiao suddenly realized, “So that’s how it is.”
Huangfu Lingyao followed alongside Liu Shimei. Seeing them packing up and preparing to leave, he quickly said, “Wife, I want to go too!”
Before Liu Shimei could respond, Mo’er interjected, “Why are you going, Your Highness? This is to visit the Duchess of An. A grown man like you going there would be inappropriate!”
It could be a hidden illness!
“I’m just afraid my wife might be mistreated! I won’t go inside to see, I’ll just wait outside, alright?” The Silly Second Prince had his own logic, “Besides, I want to visit Miao Longzi’s house. What can they do about it? Can they stop me from entering?”
Isn’t that right? He was King Dun Yu. If he insisted on going to the Duke’s residence, the Duke could not really refuse him entry.
The Silly Second Prince persisted, but he genuinely cared for his wife. Mo’er did not object anymore, saying, “As long as Eldest Miss is willing to take you, then go!”
However, she could not help but nearly burst out laughing inside: I always thought the Silly Second Prince calling me Mu’er was bad enough, but it turns out it could be worse! There’s someone named Yu Wanqing nicknamed ‘Yu Wan O’, another named Miao Linglong nicknamed ‘Longzi’, and then there’s Zhang Miaozhen nicknamed ‘Zhang Miaomiao’!
Huangfu Lingyao looked at Liu Shimei with hope in his eyes, his clear eyes shining as if they were filled with stars. His long eyelashes blinked, full of anticipation.
Even though he didn’t say a word, his adorable and innocent look, enough to melt hearts and drain all your energy, was something Liu Shimei couldn’t bear. She said, “I’ll take you! When I go to see Madam Miao later, you can play outside.”
The silly puppy immediately clapped his hands in delight, saying, “That’s great! I knew Wife wouldn’t leave me behind!”
Then, he glanced at Mo’er and Lian Qiao with a hint of complaint in his eyes, thinking, ‘If these two weren’t here causing trouble, wouldn’t it be much more enjoyable to eat a little tofu??’
