The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 353 - 207:

"The postnatal woman must make sure her milk flows, otherwise it can lead to breast infections."

It’s really nothing serious, just an internal heat toxin causing some infection.

"I’ll prescribe you two kinds of medicine: one for oral intake and one for topical use." Chun Nuan thought for a moment: "Isn’t your child being fed by you?"

"No, the master is concerned about the young master, worried he might go hungry, so he hired three wet nurses."

Chun Nuan... So this is what it’s like to be born into a wealthy family. Back when Xiao Muyang was born, his elder sister-in-law didn’t have milk, and the family couldn’t afford a wet nurse, so he cried out in hunger and was fed rice porridge for two days.

Fortunately, later, Mrs. Zhao, who is now my mother-in-law, hired Mrs. Wu as a wet nurse for him, preventing Muyang from going hungry.

Mr. Qu truly cherishes his only son.

"The young master is favored, and you as the birth mother will rise with the tide — good days are ahead, you should take care of yourself to enjoy boundless happiness later."

Women make life difficult for other women.

Xiao Chunnuan never looked down upon her just because she was a concubine.

If there’s a way to go, who would willingly choose to be a concubine?

Those who become concubines are mostly abandoned by their families.

"Thank you, young mistress, but ultimately, I am a concubine."

Mrs. Li felt a mix of emotions: "It’s just that this belly was effective in giving birth to the master’s only son, but ever since the young master was born, the lady took him away. The young master calls her mother, and I, forever just the aunt."

In this aspect, Xiao Chunnuan couldn’t offer much help.

It’s normal for large families to have multiple wives and concubines.

Being allowed to live, without having the child kept while the mother is discarded, is considered a blessing.

"Actually, I could have avoided getting this illness, but it’s..."

Forget it, the sordid affairs of the backyard shouldn’t be divulged to this young mistress.

"It was only after I got this illness that nanny said it needed extraction."

So, the nannies around her all belong to the lady?

Xiao Chunnuan felt quite sorrowful.

This is the fate of being a concubine!

That Mrs. Qu probably had the intention of discarding the mother while keeping the child, but the process wasn’t as ruthless.

Letting you get sick and then die.

Indeed, if she acted directly, once the young master grows up and learns of it, there would be enmity over a mother’s murder, surely causing issues.

Hence, she chose this method, letting things take their course, and your illness and death are unrelated to others.

In front of the young master, it’s also straightforward and honest.

"What’s past is past, just be careful the next time you give birth."

What can Xiao Chunnuan say?

The inner court’s secrets are numerous, and she wouldn’t get involved.

"I’ll first prescribe the medicine for you."

Gold and silver flower, Purple-backed Atractylodes, Snake gourd root, Dang Gui, and Tetrapanax papyrifer, Chun Nuan wrote the prescription while instructing.

"Boil these herbs in water, one dose daily, taken in two servings," Chun Nuan said. "This medicine clears heat, detoxifies, invigorates blood, and resolves abscesses."

"Additionally, I’ll prescribe another medicine for external application."

Chun Nuan wrote down Torreya seed, rice vinegar, and chives.

"This one is more complicated, perhaps let someone who serves you come and listen to my instructions."

"Nanny Hu, please come in."

"Certainly." Nanny Hu entered from outside: "Please instruct me, aunt."

Chun Nuan thought, this seemingly honest person is still an informant for Mrs. Qu — could the medicine be entrusted to her?

Chun Nuan looked at Mrs. Li.

"Nanny Hu, the doctor has a complicated external medicine for me, please help me memorize it."

"Of course, aunt." Nanny Hu said to Chun Nuan: "Doctor, please explain."

"Firstly, crush the Torreya seeds into fine powder, mix with rice vinegar to form a thin paste."

"Mash the chive leaves into a paste, mix into the thin paste thoroughly and apply to the affected area, secure with gauze and change daily."

"Did you remember?"

"The old servant has memorized it."

Nanny Hu’s attitude remained respectful.

"Additionally, since the aunt isn’t feeding the young master, I’ll prepare a milk-reduction medicine, take it after finishing these prescriptions."

"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor."

Mrs. Li was very moved. This female doctor was really good.

Not only treating her illness but also preventing after-effects.

Indeed, as she wouldn’t breastfeed the young master anymore, the lady wouldn’t even let her see the young master. Without reducing the milk, problems would arise later.

These matters must be clear to the lady long ago, but she just wouldn’t treat her.

Therefore, knowing a person’s face doesn’t mean knowing their heart — the lady seemingly treating the concubines well holds sinister thoughts.

Mrs. Li learned from experience, realizing who is human, who is ghost.
