Chapter 138: See the Doctor
During the lunch break, Xu Si invited Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue to the house in the backyard.
"What, you haven't had your period yet?" Su Jinyue looked at Xu Si in disbelief.
She remembered that it started when she was 11 years old. She was scared at first and thought something was wrong with her. She was afraid that she would never have the chance to eat sweets in the future, so she ate a bag of osmanthus cake in tears in the middle of the night.
It was the nanny who took care of her who discovered this and told her mother.
After her mother explained it to her, she finally understood.
Lou Yuexin also had complicated thoughts. Poor Xu Si had lost his mother when he was young and no one cared about these things. She also felt guilty for not discovering it in time. If Ah Si hadn't said it himself, who knows how long it would have dragged on.
"Don't get excited, it's just a small matter." Xu Si said calmly.
When she first came here, the memory she received did not include menstruation. She just thought that the original owner did not think it was important, so she did not see this part.
Later, when she didn't have her period for two months, she finally figured it out.
But it’s pretty nice not to have my period, and she’s never bothered to care about it.
If she hadn't considered that it would be bad for her health, she would probably have continued to ignore it.
"What's the small matter? This is a big matter for us women." Su Jinyue disapproved of her indifference.
Her mother told her that having this baby means she has truly grown up, and if it is abnormal, it may affect her pregnancy.
In this era, women who cannot bear children usually have a bad fate, after all, one of the seven reasons for divorce is childlessness.
Even though the Shen family's rule is that a man can take a concubine only if he is childless after the age of 40, it still requires that heirs must be present.
She was relieved after giving birth to Qi Ning. She didn't want to share a husband with anyone else. Even if Shen Jingchuan only had her in his heart, she didn't want to accept it.
However, she had never told this idea to anyone else, not even Shen Jingchuan. After all, jealousy was considered one of the "Seven Reasons for Divorce."
Although the Shen family does not have a throne to inherit, they do have the position of the prince of the marquisate to inherit. However, they have all been exiled, so the inheritance issue is forgotten.
She secretly glanced at Lou Yuexin and was very worried about Xu Si. Ordinary families also value having many children and good fortune. She wondered what her mother was thinking now.
Lou Yuexin stood up and said, "Mom will take you to see a doctor. You are still young. The sooner you see the doctor, the better your condition may be."
She didn't think about the pregnancy. After all, Xu Si was still young in her eyes, and she knew the situation between her and her son. If they hadn't consummated the marriage, everything else would be in vain.
What's more, after being together for so long, she has already regarded her as half a daughter in her heart. The family's current situation is all thanks to Ah Si, and she can only feel distressed.
"Okay." Xu Si told the two of them about this matter for this purpose. She had never seen a doctor alone, so it would be better to have someone accompany her.
Without further ado, while there was nothing going on in the store, the three of them prepared to go to the old doctor who had previously treated Qinghuan.
The doctor is very capable. Qinghuan has rarely been sick since she took the medicine and practiced the Eight-Section Brocade.
You know, in previous years, even though there was a court doctor on call and he often saw patients, Qinghuan was still very weak.
"Where are you going?" Shen Anyi asked curiously when he saw the three people walking out.
"Let's go to the clinic," Lou Yuexin replied after wrapping her clothes.
"What's wrong? Is anyone sick?"
"No, I just want to help Ah Si recuperate," Lou Yuexin explained simply, and it was not appropriate to say more details to Shen Anyi.
Shen Yanchen twitched his ears and looked at the backs of the three people leaving, feeling a little worried.
Xu Si usually seems to be in good health, so why does he suddenly need to recuperate? Could it be that his mother is hiding something?
In just a moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he decided to wait until night to ask.
Led by Lou Yuexin, Xu Si and his companion crossed two streets and several alleys and arrived at a clinic.
Lou Yuexin explained, "Although this Huichuntang shop may not look big and is a bit remote, it has been open for a hundred years and has been practicing medicine for generations. It is said that there were several imperial physicians among their ancestors."
She and Shen Anyi inquired for a long time before choosing this one for Qinghuan.
The doctor's habit is to use mild medicines, so the effect is slow. Patients naturally hope that their illnesses will be cured sooner, so they are more willing to go to clinics that can produce quick results.
There were only two people in the pharmacy, an old man was sitting at the table reading a book, and the other young man was sorting medicinal materials.
"Mr. Mu," Lou Yuexin stepped forward and bowed to the old man.
Mu Lao raised his head and said, "It's you. How is the little girl doing recently?"
He naturally had an impression of Lou Yuexin. Not many people were willing to spend money to regulate the health of their children. Moreover, the girl was born weak. To be in her current physical condition, her family must have put a lot of thought into it.
"Thanks to you, she is in much better health now and will come back for a follow-up visit next month. I came here today because I want you to take a look at the child." Lou Yuexin took Xu Si's arm and brought her to Mr. Mu.
"What's up with her?"
"The child's period hasn't come yet."
Although this kind of thing is not suitable to be discussed publicly, since you have come to see the doctor, there is no need to hide it.
Mu Lao nodded and looked at Xu Si kindly, "Sit down."
Xu Si sat on the stool opposite the old man, blinking, a little nervous.
"Stretch out your hand."
Xu Si obediently placed his wrist on the small white pillow on the table.
When Mr. Mu was taking her pulse, she just quietly watched the expression on his face, and her heart skipped a beat as he frowned.
Mr. Mu closed his eyes and said nothing.
After he withdrew his hand, Lou Yuexin asked, "Is her condition serious?"
Mu Lao said, "It's not bad. Did the girl ever catch a cold when she was young?"
Xu Si reluctantly replied, "Uh, I guess so."
When the original owner was a child, he picked up quilts thrown away by others. They were not warm at all. Didn’t that mean he was cold?
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this girl seems to be in good health on the surface. In fact, her body is weak and her meridians are blocked."
Old Mu thought to himself, their family should be able to pamper the little girl, so how come there is a little girl in the family with such poor health? But seeing how much the two men care about the girl, it can't be fake.
Lou Yuexin and Su Jinyue thought of Xu Si's background at the same time and felt heartbroken.
After Mu Lao wrote the prescription, he said earnestly, "In addition to the medicine, you should also pay attention to your daily life, reduce fatigue, soak your feet more often, avoid cold, and eat more nutritious and healthy food."
"Thank you, Mr. Mu."
While getting the medicine, Xu Si heard the young man mutter "motherwort".
She knew this because she had bought a motherwort warming patch before and had even searched for it. It was said to have the effects of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, and clearing away heat and detoxifying.
