Jiang Fang packed up his small medicine box and set off with Liu Qingbo. Pan Meiyu also wanted to go and see it together, but Liu Qingbo refused.
"You stay at home. Have you forgotten that I had nightmares for several days after meeting the county grandpa's lady? I won't scare you for a while, and go back quickly."
Although Pan Meiyu was very unhappy, she was so frightened when she thought of how Liu Qingbo had just come back that she retreated. She also wondered what kind of strange disease the young lady from the county magistrate's family had contracted.
Along the way, Jiang Fang didn't ask the county magistrate about the young lady's affairs. After all, he had already come here. It might be clearer to ask the county magistrate directly later.
So Jiang Fang asked Liu Qingbo: "I heard from my mother that you took Pan Meiyu back very early? The marriage should have been consummated by now, right? How do you feel?"
When Liu Qingbo heard what Jiang Fang said, his face instantly turned red. He glanced at Jiang Fang secretly. Is this really a question that a girl can ask without blushing?
Seeing Liu Qingbo being so shy, Jiang Fang said, "I am a doctor. Don't forget, I cured Pan Meiyu's disease. I am quite busy at home during this time.
Pan Meiyu took you back again, but has never come for a follow-up consultation. Today, I just asked you because I happened to be riding in the same carriage with you, so you don't have to be so restrained."
After Liu Qingbo listened to Jiang Fang's explanation, he felt more at ease, but his face was still red: "Meiyu and I have consummated our marriage a few days ago, and she doesn't seem to be feeling uncomfortable during this time."
Jiang Fang nodded, and then said: "I'll give you some prescriptions when I get back later, which can help you take care of your health. I don't know if Pan Meiyu's illness has been cured yet, so it's best to continue taking some medicine."
While they were talking, the carriage stopped in front of the county magistrate's mansion. Jiang Fang got out of the carriage. When the housekeeper at the door heard that Jiang Fang was coming, he quickly went in to report.
The county magistrate quickly came out with his wife to greet him, but Liu Qingbo was left outside. Jiang Fang didn't say anything. Such a wealthy family knew that family scandals should not be made public.
Jiang Fang asked as he walked: "Can you elaborate on Miss's situation?"
The county magistrate and his wife looked at each other, with regret and distress in their eyes. At this time, the county magistrate's wife said: "This child is just stupid. Who knows how she could be so stupid!"
The county magistrate said: "Wan'er had a sweetheart since she was a child, who was the son of a scholar in the county town. That boy liked women with thin waists. In order to attract the attention of her sweetheart, Wan'er lost weight every day.
The waist is indeed thinner, but how can this weight loss only reduce the waist? Now the thinness is beyond recognition. When the boy saw it, he vomited in front of Wan'er.
Moreover, she was frightened into nightmares and rejected Wan'er. Wan'er was sad and sad every day. Now she can't eat or sleep. She was already skinny, but now she is even more..."
After saying this, the county magistrate let out a heavy sigh. After listening to this, Jiang Fang had a rough understanding of the young lady's condition. She must have lost too much weight.
Although most of the time, thinness is regarded as beauty, but excessive weight loss is not advisable. This Wan'er is probably too thin. If she looks thin, she is really ugly and scares others, so she will be rejected.
The county magistrate led Jiang Fang to his daughter's room, where he saw her leaning on the bronze mirror used to dress and looking at herself in the mirror with a resentful look on her face.
Looking from behind, Jiang Fang seemed to see a skeleton. He wore few clothes in summer, so he could clearly see the young lady's shoulder blades and coracoid process.
How thin do you need to be to make these skeletal features so obvious under dependence?
Jiang Fang was even more shocked when he saw the lady's appearance in the bronze mirror. There was almost no muscle or soft tissue left on her face. To say it was a bit exaggerated, maybe there was only a piece of human skin left.
Perhaps because she had not slept much for a long time, there were heavy dark circles under her eyes, and her eye sockets were sunken, and you could almost see the eye sockets on her skull.
The cheekbones are prominent, the cheeks are sunken, and there is almost no flesh on the face. Judging from the appearance of the face, it seems to be a little dehydrated and wrinkled, which should not be the look of this age.
She was still combing her hair mechanically, and she didn't seem to feel anyone coming in. Seeing her daughter like this, the county magistrate's wife couldn't help but blush again, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
The county magistrate also looked distressed and called Wan'er, but there was no response at all. He said to Jiang Fang: "It's like this sometimes, no matter who calls, there is no response.
She refused to eat, and when she was forced to eat, she vomited it all out. The maid also said that Wan'er liked to comb her hair recently, but she would lose a lot of hair every time.
Wan'er's hair used to be jet black, but just in the past few months, for some reason, her hair suddenly became so withered and yellow."
Jiang Fang sighed and said: "Ask what love is in the world, why do you torture yourself so hard?"
When the young lady heard this, she burst into tears. Her eyes were dull: "I love him so much, how could he be so cruel? I have the slim waist he likes, why does he still treat me like this?"
When the county magistrate's wife saw her daughter like this, she went over and hugged her. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, and the county magistrate sighed helplessly.
Jiang Fang said: "I roughly know what disease your daughter has. This disease can be cured, but the cycle will be longer. I need to take the young lady to my courtyard."
When the county magistrate heard that his daughter was rescued, he quickly said, "Okay, okay. If you need anything else, Dr. Jiang, just tell me and I will order someone to make arrangements right away."
Jiang Fang said: "I need to sign an agreement with you, master. The general content is that during the treatment, you and your family are not allowed to interfere.
During the period when you move to the courtyard, you are not allowed to visit, you can only listen to me in everything, but after it is over, I promise to give you a healthy child."
The county magistrate hesitated a little. He and his wife exchanged glances, and finally said, "What if my daughter's illness does not improve in the end?"
Jiang Fang shrugged: "Then I will send the person back and refund the money, but what I can guarantee is that the condition when he is sent back will definitely not be worse than when he was picked up now."
Seeing the county magistrate's hesitation, Jiang Fang said: "You don't trust people when you employ them, and you don't use people when you doubt them. You have time to think about it now. Come to me when you have figured it out."
Jiang Fang was about to leave. At this time, the county magistrate's wife stood up and grabbed Jiang Fang and said, "We will find someone to draw up an agreement now. You can take Wan'er away."
Then she turned to the county magistrate and said, "I really don't want to see Wan'er like this for a day. If she stays like this, I will really feel distressed to death."
The county magistrate sighed, and after signing an agreement with Jiang Fang, he ordered people to pack their things and send Jiang Fang and Song Wan'er back to the Jiang family's courtyard.
