The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 401 - 223:

Due to the chaotic military situation over the past year, trade caravans have decreased their trips.

The trade caravans from Shu City can’t go out at all; if they do, they estimate they would lose everything. Thus, communication with the Capital has been interrupted.

Unexpectedly, Xia Guangcheng turned out to be the general pacifying the rebel army. Being able to hear news about her daughter and grandchildren, Mrs. Xu felt very anxious and wished she could see Xia Guangcheng immediately.

Unfortunately, she’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

Chun Nuan returned and naturally wanted to check on the progress of Chun Ning’s pill production.

"Don’t worry, sister. Everything is being done according to your instructions, but these pills still can’t be sent to the Capital."

Suddenly, Chun Nuan had a bold idea. Since Xia Guangcheng was returning to the Capital with his troops, why not have him take some... um, not exactly ask him, but send a batch of goods behind their convoy, which should be particularly safe.

Indeed, who would dare target goods behind a large army?

Unless they have a death wish.

"By the way, sister, Aunt Luo came looking for you yesterday, asking when you would return."

"Is there something going on?"

"It seems so, but she was quite disappointed when she heard you weren’t home and wouldn’t be back soon," Chun Ning replied. "She even asked the location of your estate."

Is she planning to search for her there?

"Could it be she’s missing Daya?"

Chun Nuan asked.

"No, it seems she wants to consult you about an illness."

"Then you should call her over, and I’ll take a look at her."

Chun Nuan had affection for Aunt Luo’s family. They had always taken good care of the Xiao family.

It’s only fair that since they treat the Xiao family well, the Xiao family also regards them as family.

Since there’s an illness needing consultation, then let’s have a look.

Zhao Minghua wasn’t happy to hear that Chun Nuan planned to see a patient again and wanted to stop her completely.

He was worried about Chun Nuan getting exhausted.

"Aunt Luo is not an outsider; I just won’t see patients from outside." Chun Nuan said, "Don’t be upset. I’m really fine."

It’s really not such a big deal that taking a pulse and prescribing a remedy could cause any problem.

If that were truly an issue, it would mean that she and this child have no predestined fate.

Speaking of it, her family didn’t even know she was pregnant yet.

Maybe, today is the day to tell her mother?

Hmm, tell her after seeing Aunt Luo later.

Chun Ning quickly brought Aunt Luo over.

"Chun Nuan... ah, no, I mean Third Young Madam."

Aunt Luo’s manner directly amused Chun Nuan.

"Aunt Luo, it’s okay, call me whatever you like, I prefer you to call me Chun Nuan."

"Chun Nuan..." Aunt Luo smiled wryly as she started speaking, "It seems I just can’t change the way I call you, so I won’t change it. Chun Nuan, I want to ask you for a favor, to take a look at my Daya’s condition."

Daya was Aunt Luo’s eldest daughter, who was already married off.

"Where is she?"

Zhao Minghua would definitely not agree on her going out to see a patient.

"She returned to her in-laws. I’ll have Xiao Gang make a trip and bring Daya back for you to take a look at her."

"That’s fine."

Luo Xiaogang ran quickly, and in less than an hour, he brought Luo Daya back.

"Chun Nuan, please take a look at my Daya."

Aunt Luo said, "Daya, quickly tell Chun Nuan where you’re feeling unwell."

Luo Daya’s face instantly turned bright red.

"Don’t overthink it. I am a doctor, and to doctors, there’s no difference between men and women. Just quietly tell me what’s wrong."

"I..." She looked around; besides her mother, there wasn’t anyone else around, and she mustered the courage to say, "I feel very itchy down there, I can’t help but want to scratch even when I’m just standing..."

"How long have these symptoms lasted?"

"It’s been two months, and I’ve scratched it to the point of bleeding."

"Are there any other symptoms? Does your stomach hurt?"

"My stomach feels a bit swollen and painful, and my back hurts."

"Young Madam, what kind of illness does Daya have?"

"It’s a woman’s disease, caused by spleen deficiency and excessive dampness," Chun Nuan felt Daya’s pulse and said, "Get some poria, cook it with white rice and eat it multiple times, and it should be fine."

What?

Daya was stunned; she came to see a doctor, and now she was being advised to eat something?

No need for a prescription?

"Prescribing a remedy is also possible. Use garlic, peel it, crush it, add water to make a soup, and wash the affected area twice or three times a day."

Daya was stunned; she came to see a doctor, and now she was being advised to eat something?

Is this considered a prescription?

"This illness is not a major one, using this method can sterilize, reduce inflammation, and relieve itching."

"Then what kind of illness is it?"

Daya wondered why she had contracted such a disease.

"There are many reasons why you might get this disease. One is not changing underwear frequently, two..."

Should she tell her the second possibility, or would that cause marital issues?
