"Yes!" Eunuch Ruan pursed his lips and sighed slightly. "Speaking of their daughter-in-law, she really has a strong temperament. After being reprimanded a few times, she coughed up blood. This is due to excessive anger..."
People should maintain a calm mindset and know their place. No matter what big or small difficulties they encounter, they should face them with composure.
Otherwise, why would there be so many centenarians in this world?
If they were constantly worried, anxious, and treading on thin ice, they would have died of anger long ago...
With a good mindset, illnesses decrease, and lifespan naturally increases.
Murong Taotao chuckled, "The moon shines on thousands of miles, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others. Every family has its own troubles..."
After speaking, Murong Taotao instructed Eunuch Ruan, "You are skilled in medicine, go to the main house and take a look at her condition. If she needs any medicine, have someone fetch it!~"
After all, he was staying at the Old Yun family's place, so he had to be flexible in his interactions and not annoy the hosts...
Moreover, he hadn't had a chance to get close to Yun Jinhe these past few days. To find out his sister's whereabouts, he first needed to make Yun Jinhe lower his guard and be willing to accept him.
Eunuch Ruan shook his head helplessly and pushed the door open to leave.
"Uncle Ruan, Guihua... How is Guihua?" Yun Daman asked anxiously.
Eunuch Ruan first examined Zhao Guihua's tongue coating, then inquired about other matters, and began to carefully feel her pulse.
The room was crowded with people, all anxiously concerned about Zhao Guihua.
"Caixia, make some light meals tonight, and boil the fish into soup to nourish Guihua's body..." Gu Shi instructed.
Niu Caixia hummed in response and went to prepare dinner.
Du Tieshan stood at the doorway, her pregnant belly protruding, and glanced at the kang. "Mother, is eldest sister alright?"
"It's not clear yet. I heard this Brother Ruan is skilled in medicine, so let him examine her first. Jinhe will invite a doctor over later..." Gu Shi sighed.
Eunuch Ruan felt her pulse for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Eunuch Ruan released her pulse and pointed to Zhao Guihua's chest. "May I listen?"
In ancient times, there were no stethoscopes, so Eunuch Ruan wanted to place his ear on Zhao Guihua's chest to check for any abnormal sounds in her lungs...
Although the sound was very faint, almost imperceptible, Eunuch Ruan had developed a pair of 'golden ears' over the years.
Zhao Guihua listened and looked embarrassed. "You, you mean my lungs are having problems?"
What was a grown man doing putting his ear to a woman's chest?
"Only by listening can we know the specific details..." Eunuch Ruan said seriously.
Yun Daman, eager to know about his wife's illness, paid no mind to the propriety of men and women interacting. He frowned and said, "Guihua, let Uncle Ruan listen. Without finding the cause of the illness, he can't prescribe any medicine!~"
Zhao Guihua: "..."
He actually let another man put his ear to his wife's chest. She was speechless.
After a brief argument, Zhao Guihua compromised. She unbuttoned her clothes, revealing only a light green camisole underneath.
As a doctor, Eunuch Ruan paid no attention to such matters, nor would he take advantage of Zhao Guihua...
He listened carefully for a moment and finally had a grasp of the situation. "Oh dear, the situation is not good!~"
If it were a minor illness, she wouldn't have coughed up blood.
"What exactly is wrong with my wife?" Yun Daman was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.
Can't this person just say everything at once?
Eunuch Ruan glanced at Yun Daman. "Your wife has inflammation in her trachea and lungs. When she got angry, she coughed up blood, but that's not the most critical issue..."
At these words, everyone gasped.
Guihua coughed up blood, and that wasn't critical?
"The blood vessels in your wife's brain are blocked, currently causing hemiplegia. She can walk with a cane for a short period, but over time, her condition will worsen..." Kuaishuge
After speaking, Eunuch Ruan looked at Zhao Guihua. "Simply put, you will likely be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life!~"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, stunning everyone into silence.
In fact, there are many causes of disability, such as peripheral paralysis caused by hypokalemia, and Guillain-Barré syndrome, etc...
But Zhao Guihua's problem was with her cerebral blood vessels. It was fortunate she didn't have a cerebral hemorrhage.
The room was eerily quiet, the air seemingly frozen.
Yun Daman swayed, nearly fainting...
"Daman!~" Old Yun steadied Yun Daman and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, Guihua is healthy and strong. She won't be paralyzed forever!"
"Father." Yun Daman covered his face, tears streaming down. "You, you say Guihua is usually so lively and has never had any health problems. How, how did she get this kind of illness? Wuwu..."
If Guihua became paralyzed, what would he do in the future?
Zhao Xiaojie stood outside the door and whispered, "It must be a misdiagnosis. There are so many quack doctors everywhere now. They don't have the skills but act like proper doctors. This is too outrageous!~"
Eunuch Ruan: "..."
Do I look like a quack doctor?
"If you don't believe me, you can invite another doctor to take a look!~" Eunuch Ruan spread his hands, looking helpless. "Why would I try to trick you?"
Eunuch Ruan was the personal physician to Emperor Ming and Murong Taotao in the palace. Whenever either of them felt unwell, they didn't even need to summon imperial physicians; he could handle everything himself...
Old Yun, hearing this, was about to scold Zhao Xiaojie when Jinhe suddenly walked in with a doctor.
"Father, the doctor is here!~" Yun Jinhe ran in, his head covered in sweat, his clothes soaked.
But as soon as he entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right...
Especially his father, who was crying for no apparent reason.
"Let the doctor examine your mother!~" Yun Daman turned his back, wiping away his tears.
Zhao Guihua, upon hearing this devastating news, was completely stunned, tears streaming down her face.
The doctor felt her pulse, and the results were the same as Eunuch Ruan's...
The Yun family was instantly plunged into gloom.
Old Yun felt a pang of distress and pulled Eunuch Ruan aside. "Brother Ruan, can Guihua's illness be cured?"
Despite Guihua's usual bickering with the family, the elderly couple actually cared about her deeply.
After all, the former Zhao Guihua was sensible and capable, an excellent daughter-in-law among a hundred.
Eunuch Ruan shook his head. "I can't say for sure. If the patient recovers well and exercises diligently, it's possible she might stand up again. I'm saying it's possible, because the chances are very slim!~"
Upon hearing this, Old Yun suppressed his anxiety and looked towards the capital.
He truly wished his youngest daughter could come back for a visit now...
