âSu Han, Iâm afraid youâre not just uncomfortable, but youâve also faced a lot of hardship, havenât you?â
Su Yingxueâs eyes held a touch of sympathy.
She took Su Han to her room, had her undressed, and lay on the bed. After a simple examination, she diagnosed Su Hanâs three-year infertility.
Pressing on Su Hanâs abdomen, she asked, âDo you experience irregular menstruation and frequent abdominal pain?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Han nodded. âSometimes, the pain is unbearable, especially during my period. Itâs a continuous discomfort even when I drink water.â
Su Yingxue brought out pen and paper, writing as she spoke, âYour meridians are blocked, thereâs a heavy chill in your abdomen, compounded by daily exertions, severely weakening your body, hence the inability to conceive.â Nervously clutching her chest, Su Han spoke with anxiety, âSister, can you cure me? I⦠1 need a child.â
Perhaps Su Yingxue couldnât fathom the tribulations of marrying into a princeâs mansion.
But now, other than bearing children, she had no other recourse.
Su Yingxue chuckled softly, âDidnât you teach me how to handle Lady Liu for the sake of healing you? If I fail, wouldnât I let you down?â
Su Han blushed. âDespite my self-interest, we, the direct line, still hope you can lead a good life. Donât let those villains take advantage, turning the Marquisâs Manor into chaos!â
Finishing the prescription, Su Yingxue handed it over, saying, âDonât worry. I wonât disgrace the Su familyâs legitimate daughter!â
Su Han smiled, carefully keeping the prescription. Just as Su Yingxue was about to see her off, she hesitated and asked, âSister, do you have golden wound medicine for treating injuries?â
Su Yingxue instructed Zhilan to fetch a bottle. âAs a doctor, I naturally have all kinds of medicine. Is someone injured in Sisterâs household?â
Su Han shook her head. âSince Sister helped me today, Iâll help you again. Just watch. Sometimes, a few words can hurt a woman more than a whip.â
Su Hanâs eyes held a deeper meaning.
She headed toward Su Yurouâs Sunset Court. Curious, Su Yingxue brought Zhilan to observe from outside.
After a while, Su Han was pushed out by Su Yurou, holding the golden wound medicine. She fell, the bottle shattered, looking pitiable and disheveled.
Having married into the Regional Princeâs Mansion, Su Dingheng naturally rushed over.
âHanâer? What happenedâ¦Quick, get up!â
Seeing her injuries, Su Dingheng promptly helped her up.
Su Han had always been seen as dignified and refined. Yet now, speaking with a sigh, âIt seems as a Regional Princess, Iâm not worthy to deliver medicine to Sister Yurou. Hence, my present state.â
She turned to Su Dingheng. âSecond Uncle, 1 was concerned for Sister Yurou. I brought her the medicine, but I ended up injured. I wonder how the Regional Prince will blame her. 1â11 take my leave now.â
She departed swiftly, denying Su Dingheng any chance to apologize.
Su Dingheng was furious. Turning, he slapped Su Yurou. âUngrateful child! Have you lost your mind? Hanâer is the Princess of Yongâan County. She kindly brought medicine for you, and youâve hurt her. Being a county lord doesnât make you superior to the Yongâan County Princess. Youâre simply foolish!â âFather, she provoked me! She didnât sincerely come to see me! She did it on purpose!â Su Yurou pleaded in the grievance.
If she had pushed someone else, Su Dingheng might have listened.
But now, Su Dingheng left, not sparing her a glance.
Su Yurouâs pride in being appointed county lord was shattered in an instant..
