Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 482 Dream Meeting

Song Ying followed him in and saw a large carved bed placed in the middle of the room. The sky-blue curtains embroidered with fish playing among lotus flowers were lifted. Inside was a young woman in her twenties, huddled in a corner of the bed with her hands on her knees. Her face was dark yellow and blue, she was thin and frail, and she looked extremely nervous.

Mrs. Bai felt extremely distressed. She quickly walked over and sat beside the bed. She held the woman's hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Zhen'er. Mother is here."

Song Ying was startled by the gentle, coaxing tone of voice, and her heart suddenly felt sour. She had never experienced such mother-daughter warmth before.

She pursed her lips, suppressed the bitterness, and said, "Mrs. Bai, let's talk about your daughter's illness first."

Mrs. Bai nodded. "Zhen'er's illness started a year after my son-in-law died."

"Mother." Bai Zhen called nervously.

Mrs. Bai patted her hands and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Zhen'er. This is Doctor Xiao Song, Doctor Lin's apprentice. He will definitely be able to cure your illness."

Bai Zhen was not very happy. There was bitterness on her lips and she frowned: "Mom, but I am not sick, I am suffering from..."

She was so embarrassed that she stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Mrs. Bai patted her hand again and encouraged her, "Whether you are sick or not, let Doctor Xiao Song take a look first."

"But..." Bai Zhen bit her lip, feeling very embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Doctor Song is very tight-lipped. We haven't been able to find out the illness of the nobleman from the capital."

Song Ying raised her eyebrows. It turned out that Mrs. Bai had verified the authenticity of her tight-lipped statement in advance.

After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Bai continued, "About a year after my son-in-law died, Zhen'er dreamed that it was her..."

Although she had thought of the words in advance, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but hesitate when she was about to speak, "Uh, I just dreamed about doing that kind of thing with my son-in-law."

Bai Zhen's face had already turned red with embarrassment, and Mrs. Bai looked embarrassed as well. Seeing Song Ying confused, she couldn't help but shudder. Then she remembered that although Song Ying was a skilled doctor, she was still just an inexperienced girl. How could she understand what she said?

How can you cure a disease if you can’t even understand what I’m saying?

Fortunately, Song Ying was only confused for a moment before she reacted and asked, "Are you saying that your daughter dreamed of having sex with her dead husband?"

Mrs. Bai was stunned. She didn't expect Song Ying to be able to speak so openly without blushing or getting nervous.

She calmed herself down and nodded, "Yes, it's okay to dream about it, but, uh, after waking up, my clothes were soaked with sweat and I had palpitations, as if I had really done that."

Song Ying looked at Bai Zhen, "What about your lower body? Is it different from the real intercourse?"

Bai Zhen was also confused. She completely forgot about her shyness and fear and just looked at Song Ying.

Those eyes were clear and calm, and her expression was extremely peaceful, as if she was just asking about the condition of an ordinary patient, without the slightest surprise or inquiry.

Being stared at in that way, Bai Zhen's enormous pressure, the embarrassment and fear all temporarily dissipated.

She felt that she just had a common illness and was asked about her condition by the doctor.

So, she shook her head and spoke more fluently: "My lower body is a little strange, but it is still different from real intercourse."

Song Ying nodded, stretched out her hand, motioned for her to take his pulse, and asked, "Are there any other symptoms?"

"I can't sleep well. I dream all night long. I can't sleep well at night. I feel groggy during the day. I have a headache, and my waist and legs are sore..."

When she finished her rambling, Song Ying had almost felt her pulse and said, "I guess you and your husband are very affectionate."

Bai Zhen was stunned, "How did you know?"

"Your illness is caused by excessive longing, which has led to liver qi stagnation, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, and the yang fire is agitated. It is not a serious illness, but it has been delayed for too long."

Mrs. Bai was delighted at first. Since it was not a serious illness, it would be cured soon. But soon, she was puzzled and said, "That's not right. Doctor Lin also treated a similar case when he was in the capital, but that young lady didn't have a dead husband. She didn't miss him too much, right?"

Song Ying was stunned. She had seen this case in her master's medical records. The problem was that her master would naturally not spread this kind of case which could easily affect the reputation and chastity of women in the boudoir. The medical records only recorded the condition and the process of diagnosis and treatment. How could Mrs. Bai know about it?

Putting aside her doubts, she replied, "That lady had a miscarriage and missed her child. Whether it is the loss of a spouse or miscarriage, it is all caused by emotional trauma. Grief and worry can cause liver depression and qi stagnation. Depression of wood turns to fire, and fire burns the yin, causing the fire to move recklessly and the kidney yin to be damaged."

"So that's how it is." Mrs. Bai suddenly realized. She had raised her daughter and knew her character very well. She didn't believe that she would be a promiscuous person.

At first, she thought her daughter was possessed by an evil spirit.

Later, when Minister Shen's family moved back, they naturally wanted to ask around in order to get along with each other. Unexpectedly, the news they got back was a pleasant surprise.

The prince of Wu'an was in love with a brothel girl for three lifetimes and refused to take a wife or concubine, wanting to be with the brothel girl for the rest of her life. However, word spread that the brothel girl was extremely promiscuous and would have sex with men even in her dreams.

The Wu'an Earl's Mansion could no longer tolerate the prince's mischief and wanted to put the brothel girl into a pig cage. However, who would have thought that the Wu'an Earl's prince was a romantic man and refused to believe it even with irrefutable evidence. He invited Doctor Lin to come and cleared the brothel girl's name.

After knowing this, Mrs. Bai became hopeful and wanted to ask Dr. Lin to treat her daughter. So when she learned that her son and nephew were going to teach Song Ying a lesson, she hurriedly stopped them.

But Doctor Lin is the Shen family's medical practitioner after all. If she is asked to take action, she cannot hide it from County Lord Shunan. Even if Doctor Lin is willing to help conceal it, if County Lord Shunan forces her to answer, she will probably have to answer.

If the Shen family got hold of the Bai family's secret, she might be controlled by them. Therefore, she hesitated for several years and had not made up her mind.

Unexpectedly, as the situation took a turn for the better, Song Ying actually learned the true skills from Doctor Lin. At a young age, he became known as a miracle doctor and cured many difficult and complicated diseases.

Only then did she think of giving it a try.

Song Ying was the doctor of Huichuntang, and she often went to various mansions to diagnose and treat the female family members. Asking her would not attract attention. She was not from the Shen Mansion, and she did not have to report everything to the Shen Mansion.

Moreover, she came from an ordinary family, so she didn't dare to speak nonsense.

Bai Zhen was stunned and couldn't believe it, "Am I really sick?"

After Song Yingneng started seeing patients, she came into contact with many such ladies in the inner house. She knew their pressure and suffering. She nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes, she is just sick."

A tear rolled out of Bai Zhen's eyes, more and more...

Finally, she leaned against Mrs. Bai and burst into tears.

When she first met her husband in a dream, she was delighted, thinking that their love had moved God, allowing the couple to be reunited in their dreams.
