Chapter 535 - Chapter 535: Chapter 542: Intense Pain (2/2)
Su Wenyue spoke with teary eyes but stopped short of mentioning that the pain was due to eating too much spicy food. Han Yu, seeing her like this, knew what had happened. He felt a combination of frustration and helplessness, coupled with heartache and concern, and quickly sent a Servant to fetch Divine Doctor Mu.
Divine Doctor Mu arrived hastily, knowing it concerned Su Wenyue’s condition. His high regard for Su Wenyue, whom he found to be a Chaste and Virtuous girl, kind and lovely, and the Mistress of the Zhai Family, made him particularly attentive. Considering Han Yu had risked harboring Zhai Li from the troubled Zhai Family, Divine Doctor Mu was grateful to Han Yu and thus took Su Wenyue’s condition very seriously.
Upon entering, Divine Doctor Mu saw Su Wenyue’s pain-stricken pallor and immediately took her pulse, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
Seeing Divine Doctor Mu’s concern, Han Yu became more anxious: “Doctor Mu, how is my Wife’s condition? She seems to be in great pain, is it serious?”
Divine Doctor Mu, however, frowned and scolded unkindly: “Let her suffer, she deserves it for bringing pain upon herself. She is already the mother of three children yet still so careless. Doesn’t she know what she should and shouldn’t do?!”
As a doctor, what he despised most were patients who refused to take care of themselves. Although no one had told Divine Doctor Mu the specific reason for Su Wenyue’s condition, his medical skills easily allowed him to deduce the cause. It wasn’t unclear to him, especially since he roughly knew of Su Wenyue’s childish implusivity.
Su Wenyue, having been nagged by Han Yu for a long time, didn’t feel much, just a headache from his constant scolding, having grown accustomed to it. But Divine Doctor Mu was different. Su Wenyue’s pale face flushed with shame under his unreserved reproach, wishing she could vanish into thin air.
Su Wenyue was not truly thoughtless, but after several brushes with death, especially being trapped in the nightmares of her previous life and finally freeing herself, she wanted to live more freely and happily, unwilling to constrain herself further. Moreover, Han Yu’s indulgence had indeed nurtured a childlike side to her, leading her to be a little reckless, although she had always been mindful of her limits. Yet, she had overdone it this time, and her judgement proved mistaken, resulting in this tragedy.
Su Wenyue gained a deeper understanding of the truth in the words that one would not die if they did not seek death.
Although Han Yu had rebuked Su Wenyue harshly, at this moment, he could not bear to blame her. Seeing that his Wife was in pain and now being scolded pitifully by Divine Doctor Mu, he quickly pleaded: “Doctor Mu, my Wife is still young, and it is natural for her to be a bit impetuous at times. I will talk to her. She’s in a lot of pain right now, so please think of a way to alleviate my Wife’s symptoms.”
“You’ve barely gotten started and you’re already so upset,” Divine Doctor Mu remarked irritably, “Her recklessness is your fault for spoiling her. Why the urgency!” Though he spoke harshly, his actions were different. As he spoke, he took a porcelain bottle from his Medicine box, removed a pill, and Han Yu promptly brought over some hot water for Su Wenyue to take it.
Divine Doctor Mu lived up to his name, making an accurate diagnosis and giving the right medicine. No sooner had the pill been swallowed, then it took effect, and Su Wenyue felt the stomach pain recede significantly. Her complexion, no longer as pale as before, started to regain its color. Indeed, a Divine Doctor was extraordinary.
Seeing his Wife’s color returning and her pain subsiding, Han Yu finally felt relieved.
