Chapter 181: No Descendant is the Greatest Problem
Moreover, her words seemed to have another meaning. The Second Madam glared at the Second Wife, and that gleam of light shocked the Second Madam's heart. Could it be that she had attacked Yuxi?
The second wife became more and more frightened the more she thought about it, and even her palms were sweating.
It’s better to understand these things in private first, otherwise Yuxi will suffer a loss and her future life will be very difficult. Fang was about to speak to stop him, but Yang Chenchuan said, “Then I’ll trouble you, Second Aunt.”
Lin Yuxi looked at Yang Chenchuan with some worry, not knowing what tricks he was playing. He knew she... but still asked the Second Wife to find a doctor.
Yang Chenchuan gave her a reassuring look, and Lin Yuxi felt a little relieved.
After a while, Doctor Zhang arrived first. When he entered the room, he first looked at the Second Madam before taking Lin Yuxi's pulse. She looked at the doctor in his early fifties in front of him. She noticed the interaction between him and the Second Madam. It was conceivable that Doctor Zhang must have been bribed by the Second Madam.
She sneered in her heart. Didn't Doctor Li fail to point out her deficiency last time and arouse the suspicion of the Second Madam? But today he wanted to expose her in public so that everyone would know, and then use the reason of having an heir as the most important thing to let her husband marry another wife?
Lin Yuxi was right. The second wife had this in mind. In ancient times, offspring were very important. If the main wife could not give birth, she would naturally marry another one. Even if Yang Chenchuan disagreed, he had no choice. The elders would never allow their sons to be childless.
After a while, Doctor Zhang shook his head and took back his hand, his face heavy. The second wife asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is my wife's health?"
Doctor Zhang sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Please ask someone else for help!"
The second wife was startled, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and her mouth opened into an O shape.
The flesh on the master's face trembled when he heard this, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. He asked anxiously: "What do you mean?"
Doctor Zhang said seriously: "The Second Young Madam is suffering from a deficiency disease. I am not well-educated and cannot cure her."
Lin Yuxi opened her eyes wide in shock when she heard this, and quickly withdrew her hand. She looked at them in horror, her face flushed, and she scolded Doctor Zhang:
"You are talking nonsense, husband. I have no deficiency. Isn't Doctor Li the best doctor in Mingde City? He didn't mention my illness last time when he took my pulse. It must be that his medical skills are not up to par and he misdiagnosed me. Dad, Mom, you have to take care of your wife. You are the head of a state, and there are such unscrupulous, immoral and incompetent people working as doctors under your noses. It doesn't matter if they misdiagnose my wife, but there are tens of thousands of people in Mingde City. If they are harmed by those people and something goes wrong, what will happen?"
She pinched her thigh hard, tears immediately welled up in her eyes and she burst into tears.
"you…."
When Doctor Zhang heard Lin Yuxi say that his medical skills were not up to par and that he was unscrupulous, immoral and incompetent, he became so angry that he almost fainted.
You have to know that his medical skills are on par with Doctor Li's. He has saved thousands of patients over his many years of practice. If he didn't have real skills, how could he have achieved what he has today? It really infuriated him. Doctor Zhang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. It took him a long time to utter a complete sentence.
"Don't talk nonsense! Go ask the people about my medical skills. You are making things up. Your Excellency the Governor, I will never tell a lie."
The master raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to Doctor Zhang, saying, "Doctor Zhang, please be patient. How could I doubt your medical skills? I was just angry and said something a little rash. I hope Doctor Zhang will not blame me. Yuxi, why don't you apologize to Doctor Zhang? Although you are young, you should always prioritize things and weigh the importance before doing anything. Why are you so rash?"
Then he winked at Lin Yuxi.
Lin Yuxi was furious. She caught a glimpse of joy in the master's eyes just when he raised his eyes. Even he hoped that something would happen to her, right?
But then I thought, if he even schemed against his wife's money, how could he be a decent person?
I really feel sorry for the second wife, marrying an ungrateful man.
Doctor Zhang had a proud look in his eyes, but his face pretended to be tense. He shook his sleeves and snorted heavily, then turned his back to wait for Lin Yuxi to apologize. His arrogant look made Yang Chenchuan's mouth curl up with a hint of amusement. He held Lin Yuxi's hand and said softly.
"It's too early to say that. Didn't Second Aunt invite Doctor Li? It won't be too late to find out who is right and who is wrong after listening to Doctor Li's diagnosis. Don't you think so, Doctor Zhang?"
Doctor Zhang, who was directly called, felt a chill down his spine and looked at the Second Madam in surprise. He obviously didn't know that Doctor Li would come. However, after receiving the reassuring look from the Second Madam, he felt relieved.
The master flashed a trace of dissatisfaction, and glanced at Yang Chenchuan with accusation, but in the end he did not explode. At this moment, the little maid outside the door came to report that Doctor Li was here. The master raised his hand and said, "Please let him in."
When Doctor Li came in and saw Doctor Zhang was there too, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. He first bowed and exchanged a few words before taking Lin Yuxi's pulse.
When he felt her pulse, Doctor Li was startled. He looked up at Lin Yuxi with a questioning look. He remembered that the last time he felt the pulse of the Second Young Madam was six days ago. She was apparently in good health. How could she have developed such a symptom in just a few days?
Doctor Li met Lin Yuxi's smiling eyes, without any urgency or worry. He then secretly glanced at Yang Chenchuan and saw that he nodded and smiled politely, with a warning in his eyes.
Thinking back to the maid's words of regret on the way here just now, he soon realized that it was probably another struggle in the mansion. He had seen many such things.
However, that person was too vicious to use such a vicious poison on a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
You have to know that if a woman cannot give birth to a child, she will be despised, not to mention an official family like the prefectural government, who are afraid that the girl will have a hard time in the future.
Doctor Li sighed secretly, it was true that once you enter a wealthy family, it is like entering a deep sea. How much hatred must there be to turn a good child into such a person?
The Second Lady's heart was hanging in the air. The embroidered handkerchief in her hand was twisted out of shape by her. She stared at Lin Yuxi's wrist without blinking. When she saw that Doctor Li first put his left hand on her and then switched to his right hand, she felt even more confused.
If Yuxi is really infertile, she should give Chuan'er another wife, but... she is afraid that he will not agree.
What's more, Yuxi had just saved her life. To do such a thing at this critical moment would be like rubbing salt into her wounds. It was not a kind thing to do.
However, having no descendants is the greatest shame!
The second wife has a lot of thoughts. Who would be willing to share their husband with another woman?
If possible, she would rather Chuan'er and Yuxi stay together for the rest of their lives, without a third party intervening, unlike her own life, which is so... miserable!
After a long time, Doctor Li finally withdrew his hand. Lin Yuxi, who was fearless and serious at first, began to look around with eyes wide open, unable to hide the fear in her eyes, but pretended to be calm and asked timidly: "Doctor Li, am I okay? Did you diagnose me with deficiency like Doctor Zhang?"
After hearing the prescription, Doctor Li was stunned for a moment, then he understood. She deliberately revealed Doctor Zhang's diagnosis result as a disguised warning to him. She is a very smart kid.
But he didn't know who she had offended. Doctor Li subconsciously looked around, but did not see the maid who brought the message to him.
As a doctor, he should tell the truth. However, looking at this pretty girl, he couldn't bear it. For a moment, he was embarrassed and didn't say anything for a long time.
