458 Fox’s Stench 2
Qin Shoucheng stroked his beard and smiled proudly. “I only have one wife.”
“Then your wife must be very happy.”
Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but praise him. It was very rare for an official to only have one wife. From the way Imperial Physician Qin talked about his wife and the proud smile on his face, Su Xiaolu could guess that Imperial Physician Qin’s wife was very happy.
Qin Shoucheng smiled and said, “My wife is easily satisfied.”
!!
He was also easily satisfied. Although there were also people who mocked him for being afraid of his wife, how could they know how many women in the capital were envious of his wife?
Zhou Pingan was back. She smiled apologetically and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
She had showered and her hair was still wet.
Even though she had just finished washing up, the foxy smell on her body was still very strong.
Zhou Pingan felt a little uncomfortable as there was no fragrance on her.
Qin Shoucheng and Su Xiaolu acted as if nothing was wrong.
“Imperial Physician Qin, Doctor Su, I’m really sorry for what happened just now. I’ve embarrassed myself.”
Zhou Pingan apologized for what happened to Aunt Wang previously. After all, she did not manage it well and let a concubine make a scene.
Qin Shoucheng waved his hand. “It’s fine. I didn’t indulge her.”
Zhou Pingan nodded and did not say anything else. After all, this was a slap to her own face.
Su Xiaolu stood up and said to Zhou Pingan, “Princess, please move to the inner room.”
Zhou Pingan nodded at Qin Shoucheng before entering the inner room with Su Xiaolu.
Zhou Pingan dismissed the maidservants.
When it was just Su Xiaolu and her, she was still very nervous.
“Princess, take off your outerwear.”
Su Xiaolu was very calm. She took out her needle belt and spread it out, not caring about Zhou Pingan’s embarrassment.
At this time, the less attention she paid to Zhou Pingan, the more relaxed she would be.
Just treat this as a very normal thing.
Su Xiaolu did not keep looking at her. Zhou Pingan took a few deep breaths and took off her coat. Because she had to do a medical checkup today, the clothes she was wearing today were chest-length.
She tried to look normal, but the goosebumps rising on her arms betrayed her.
However, Su Xiaolu did not care about that at all. She walked over and said, “Raise your arms high.”
The fox’s stench was so strong that even Zhou Pingan frowned. She raised her arm and revealed her armpit.
Zhou Pingan closed her eyes and comforted herself in her heart. What she didn’t see couldn’t hurt her.
Su Xiaolu picked up a silver needle and said calmly, “I’ll insert a needle to check. Don’t move.”
Zhou Pingan nodded.
Su Xiaolu inserted the silver needles into the acupuncture points, one, two, three, and four.
Next was Zhou Pingan’s other armpit.
She pricked the other side. The left armpit where she had inserted the needle earlier had already secreted a strong and foul yellow grease.
Zhou Pingan opened her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, “What is this?”
She could clearly feel that after the yellow grease came out, the foxy smell on her body became even stronger.
“This is the source of your illness. From the looks of it, your condition is quite serious. I can’t cure it using just acupuncture and medicine anymore.” Su Xiaolu answered Zhou Pingan’s question.
She had to remove the abnormal glands.
“So what do we do?”
Zhou Pingan asked helplessly.
Su Xiaolu began to take out the needle. She wiped the yellow grease off the needle with a white cloth and placed it in a small bottle. The bottle was filled with strong wine.
Su Xiaolu finished removing all the needles and wiped the yellow grease from Zhou Pingan’s armpit before answering this question. “Princess, I can only remove the abnormal parts by cutting them open with a knife.”
Some people could not accept being cut open.
Anyway, she had already told her the method. It was Zhou Pingan’s own business whether she agreed or not.
Zhou Pingan was stunned for a moment before asking, “Can my illness really be cured? Did I really hear wrongly?”
She was really afraid that she had heard wrongly. Because of this illness, no one was willing to marry her. She was also unwilling to marry casually. Choosing her county mayor with fame and power as her dowry was ultimately a mistake.
In the past, it was for her pride. Now, it was for her daughter. No matter how overboard that person was, she endured it. She only thought that he would be a father to her daughter.
No matter how much she said, it was all because she had this fox’s stench disease that made her feel inferior and lose her dignity. She had learned to compromise. She could not believe that it could be cured.
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Pingan and said seriously, word by word, “It can be treated, but your situation is serious. You can’t take medicine or injections. I need to cut it open with a knife and take out that portion of meat to treat it.”
“It can be cured. It can be cured.”
Zhou Pingan was overjoyed. She repeated the words a few times. She was so emotional that tears welled up in her eyes.
She grabbed Su Xiaolu’s hands excitedly and said, “Doctor Su, please take a look at my daughter again. She’s only two years old. Can you take care of her first?”
If she could be cured, so could her daughter.
“Alright, bring the child over.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. Treating one was treatment, and treating two was the same.
Zhou Pingan put on her clothes and smiled as she went out to get a maidservant to carry her daughter over.
Su Xiaolu waited. Before long, the child was brought over.
The two-year-old girl was fair and tender. She looked very cute, but when she walked in, the foxy smell on her body made one frown.
Zhou Pingan coaxed the little girl. “Yaya, listen to me, and don’t move. Mother will give you candy later.”
The little girl’s eyes lit up when she heard that there was candy to eat. She obediently did not struggle or move. She said seriously, “I want to eat candy.”
There was a gentle smile in Zhou Pingan’s eyes. “Then be good, don’t move, and listen to me. Mother will reward you with candy, okay?”
“Okay.”
The little girl agreed seriously and cooperated by taking off her clothes without moving or struggling.
She obediently raised her hands.
Su Xiaolu also squatted down. There was no yellow grease under the little girl’s armpit, but when she touched it with her hand, it was also moist. When she raised her hand, the fox smell was very strong.
After checking, Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Good job.”
After being praised, the little girl smiled shyly and hid in Zhou Pingan’s arms.
Zhou Pingan smiled and carried the child. Then, she handed the child to the maidservant. She looked at Su Xiaolu nervously.
Su Xiaolu said, “Princess, her condition is alright. She can recover with medicine. It might take half a year or a year for the medicine to work.”
Zhou Pingan could not help but tear up. She said excitedly, “It’s alright. I can wait for a year or two as long as it recovers.”
She was not afraid of a year or two. What she was afraid of was that she would not recover at all.
She was worried, but she did not dare to say it out loud.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Princess, my consultation fee is very high. It will cost at least 2,000 taels of silver to treat you and your child. If you agree, I’ll go home and prepare the herbs. I’ll do the surgery on you in seven days.”
If she refused to pay her, she would not treat her.
