Tang Wan looked at him with a complicated expression. “After her miscarriage, the filth inside didn’t drain completely. You brought her here too late. Even if she recovers, it’ll be very difficult for her to have children in the future.”
As soon as Shen lad heard this, he covered his face and squatted down, crying again. “Wife, I’ve ruined you, wife. That dog-damned beast—your miscarriage hadn’t been cleaned out, and he actually prescribed you some medicine for external injuries!”
“Stop crying!” So damn annoying. “Go out and keep watch. I need to clear out the filth in her belly.”
“Alright, please—please be sure to cure my wife. From now on, I’ll work like an ox or a horse to repay you!” After saying that, Shen lad left, looking back every few steps, his eyes red.
Once he was gone, Tang Wan had Doctor Li decoct a bowl of abortifacient medicine and fed it to the woman.
The woman soon reacted, clutching her stomach and writhing on the bed in agony, with foul discharge continuously flowing from below.
Perhaps her constitution was special— even like this, it still hadn’t cleared completely. In the end, Tang Wan endured the nausea and reached in to scoop it out by hand.
There was no other way. With the limited medical conditions of ancient times, she could only do it “hands-on.”
By the time everything was finished, an hour had already passed.
Tang Wan opened the door and came out. Shen lad immediately stood up and rushed over. “Is my wife okay?”
“She’s doing very well.” Tang Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead, had the apprentice take the filth out of the room to dispose of it, and then said to Shen lad, “From now on, take good care of her. And as for the medicine…”
As she spoke, Tang Wan handed him some washing solution and ointment. “Dilute this medicine with water and wash her down there every day. And this one—there are seven pills in a box. After washing, insert one pill into your wife each time.”
“Insert?” Shen lad didn’t understand at first and looked completely confused.
Tang Wan said expressionlessly, “Where you usually poke— that’s where you insert it. Push it in a bit. Got it?”
Shen lad: …
His old face instantly turned bright red.
Doctor Li also coughed awkwardly.
Are you even a woman?
Couldn’t you be a bit more tactful?
Tang Wan didn’t think there was anything wrong at all and continued instructing him. “For the next three months, don’t play poker—no, I mean, don’t consummate the marriage. Don’t let her touch cold water. After three months, have Doctor Li take another look. If he says it’s fine, then it’s fine.”
“Mm, thank you!” After his joy, Shen lad grew dejected again. “In the future… my wife really won’t be able to have children?”
Tang Wan said, “It’s not that she absolutely can’t have them—just that the chances of pregnancy are very small now. You need to be prepared for the possibility that she won’t be able to bear children, and don’t complain about it. She’s suffered all this because of you.”
Shen lad pursed his lips and nodded with difficulty. “I understand. Thank you. I still don’t even know your name!”
“Go ask your mother!” Tang Wan tossed out that line, then saw the beautiful Ling enter the back courtyard. Instantly losing interest in dealing with Shen lad, she hurried over to her handsome husband.
“All done?” The handsome Ling glanced at her meaningfully.
Tang Wan, completely unaware that her cover had been blown, obediently nodded. “All done. Just now, Doctor Li helped save her.”
“Oh?” Ling Yu smiled faintly and looked toward Doctor Li, cupping his hands in greeting. “My wife has troubled Doctor Li with your careful instruction.”
Doctor Li’s face twitched. “N-no… it was only right. Heh heh heh…”
How could Tang Wan possibly think her husband hadn’t noticed?
He’d definitely noticed!
Could this be some kind of playful intimacy between husband and wife?
“You’re… Young Master Yu?” Shen lad, being from Huanshan Village, recognized Ling Yu.
It was just that his relationship with Ling Yu was… rather hard to put into words.
Ling Yu wasn’t sociable. Even as a child, he didn’t like playing with people like them, always looking at the village kids with an unmistakably disdainful gaze.
