Chapter 1441: Mother Zhang’s Situation
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong waved his hand. "Auntie, rest first."
Seeing that it was really difficult for her to speak, she took two steps forward. The next moment, she saw that half of Mrs. Zhang’s face was swollen.
"Well ..."
Mrs. Zhang was ashamed and quickly hid half of her face. "I’m sorry for scaring you."
Gu Yundong shook her head. "Aunt, don’t move yet." She could tell that when Mother Zhang turned around just now, she looked like she was in pain.
She asked Zhang Yingyue, "You said that Aunt is sick. Is this the situation?"
"Yes." Zhang Yingyue nodded and lowered her eyes to look at half of her mother’s face. She could not help but feel a lump in her throat. "It started more than a month ago. I looked for a doctor to take a look. The doctor said that she might have been bitten by some poisonous bug. I don’t know what it was exactly. The doctor also prescribed medicine. There were many applied externally and taken internally, but she didn’t recover. A few doctors said that they were helpless and couldn’t reduce the swelling. Fortunately, in the past half a month, the situation hasn’t worsened."
However, when it was night time, she would feel pain. She could not turn her head, and when she did, she would twitch violently.
The most uncomfortable thing was eating. She could not chew at all. She could only eat some porridge and could not work. She lay in bed all day and looked up at the ceiling. The thought of being a burden to her daughter if she could not treat her illness almost tortured her to madness.
She looked up at Gu Yundong. "Boss, can the head of the Imperial Hospital really cure my mother’s illness?"
"Let my husband see your mother first," Gu Yundong said.
Zhang Yingyue knew that Shao Qingyuan knew some medical skills, so it was fine to just take a look.
Hence, she nodded and stood up to give up her seat.
Shao Qingyuan sat on a stool by the bed and checked Mrs. Zhang’s pulse. Then, he looked at her swollen face.
The room was silent except for Shao Qingyuan’s faint movements.
After a while, Shao Qingyuan retracted his hand and wiped it with a handkerchief. He said, "She was indeed bitten by a poisonous bug."
"Do you know how to treat it?" Gu Yundong asked.
Shao Qingyuan nodded. "Actually, it’s not difficult. Those doctors don’t dare to treat her. Firstly, in order to eliminate the swelling, they have to insert a needle. It’s not easy to insert a needle in one of the spots. If they’re not careful, it will cause the patient’s life to be in danger. Secondly, after the swelling is removed, she still need to use medicine. Those herbs aren’t cheap. I’m afraid this family can’t afford it."
Zhang Yingyue was stunned when she heard this. No one had told her this before.
She had hired four doctors from four medical centers. Previously, the two doctors had given her mother medicine, but her condition worsened. Zhang Yingyue was afraid. The two doctors she hired later were both doctors from big medical centers in the capital.
One said that she was helpless and could only find an imperial physician to save her.
One of them wanted to say something but hesitated. He only said that he was inexperienced and could not help, so he left.
So, the person behind actually wanted to say the same thing as Boss Shao?
Zhang Yingyue didn’t know what to say for a moment. She blinked, looked up, and asked, "Then... then Boss Shao means that even if the imperial physician comes, he has to dare to insert the needles, right?"
"That’s what I mean."
However, if it was Song Dejiang, he would dare. That person was very bold.
Zhang Yingyue pursed her lips, her mind in a mess.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then can you tell Imperial Physician Song about my mother’s condition? If he..."
Before Zhang Yingyue could finish speaking, bang bang bang sounds suddenly came from outside.
The sudden sound shocked everyone in the room.
Zhang Yingyue was shocked and quickly said to Mother Zhang, "I’ll go out and take a look."
