About half an hour later, Chu Mingxuan parked the car in front of a luxurious villa.
“Is this your house?” Li Se asked.
Chu Mingxuan shook his head. “It’s my sister-in-law’s house. I mainly wanted to invite you to treat my sister-in-law’s illness this time.”
“I guessed it. Otherwise, if you asked me for other help, I couldn’t assist you,” Li Se knew without thinking that the reason he was asked for help must be for medical treatment.
However, as soon as Li Se approached the villa, he couldn’t help but frown. It was a three-row connected villa, facing south, located in the east.
“Li Se, what’s wrong?” Jiang Ranran noticed Li Se’s expression and asked in confusion.
Chu Mingxuan also became nervous. “Is there a problem?”
“The feng shui of this villa is not very good,” Li Se did not hide anything. “From the external feng shui, the villa is open in the northeast, east, and southeast. According to my sect’s method of absorbing qi combined with regional feng shui theory, this villa heavily absorbs damp and cold qi. What’s more troublesome is that in the northeastern Zhen position of the external layout, there is a sha qi opening, with killing intent attacking. The Zhen palace is extremely yin and cold. Living here, I’m afraid there will be significant problems.”
“Are they unhealthy?” Jiang Ranran asked urgently.
Li Se shook his head. “It’s easy to attract malevolent entities!”
Chu Mingxuan’s expression changed upon hearing this.
Li Se looked at Chu Mingxuan and said, “Although it faces south, if I’m not mistaken, it shouldn’t be very bright inside the villa, right?”
“Doctor Li, you are absolutely right!” Chu Mingxuan immediately nodded. He was now extremely impressed with Li Se. This guy was simply miraculous, not only possessing profound medical skills but also achieving mastery in metaphysics and feng shui. However, hearing about attracting malevolent entities, he couldn’t help but shiver. Every time he visited his elder brother and sister-in-law’s house, he always felt an eerie chill.
“Is your sister-in-law pregnant?” Li Se asked urgently.
“Yes!” Chu Mingxuan was shocked. He could tell that too?
Li Se’s expression became more solemn.
Soon, the three of them entered the villa. There was a housekeeper and a nanny in the villa, both around thirty years old.
On the sofa sat a very beautiful woman with a bulging belly. A middle-aged man was taking her pulse beside her.
The moment Li Se saw the woman, his expression changed. “Ghost fetus?”
“What ghost fetus?” Chu Mingxuan asked anxiously.
“What are you talking about here?” The housekeeper was somewhat annoyed.
The middle-aged doctor also frowned, glanced at Li Se, and said calmly, “Young man, you should be mindful of your words!”
The pregnant woman also showed displeasure on her face. Any woman would be uncomfortable being told she was carrying a ghost fetus.
“Sister-in-law, this is the doctor I invited,” Chu Mingxuan explained.
“Dr. Xu is sufficient,” Sheng Xuemei said faintly.
Chu Mingxuan said, “Sister-in-law, Doctor Li’s medical skills are absolutely commendable. With him treating you, there will definitely be no problem.”
“Am I not good enough?” Dr. Xu was somewhat displeased. “Just a greenhorn like him dares to call himself a doctor, it’s truly laughable. Does he have a medical practice license?”
“Yes!” Li Se nodded.
Dr. Xu was stunned for a moment, then snorted, “Even if he does, at your age, you’re probably just starting out. You might be able to treat a cold or a fever, but for more difficult illnesses, you’re not capable. You should leave quickly and not embarrass yourself here.”
“Alright, Mingxuan, I know you mean well. Dr. Xu is already treating me,” Sheng Xuemei said.
Chu Mingxuan had no choice but to apologize to Li Se.
Li Se didn’t feel anything. His gaze was fixed on Sheng Xuemei’s belly. He could clearly sense a malevolent aura emanating from her womb. If a pregnant woman had malevolent aura, she was most likely carrying a ghost fetus.
This was very troublesome. If it were discovered in the early stages of pregnancy, it would be easier to resolve. But judging by the size of her belly, she was probably already six months pregnant.
“What are you doing?”
Suddenly, Li Se saw Dr. Xu taking out acupuncture needles and couldn’t help but reprimand him.
Dr. Xu had finished taking the pulse and was about to treat Sheng Xuemei. Li Se’s reprimand startled him, and he angrily said, “I am treating Mrs. Sheng, why are you shouting here?”
“Mingxuan, take your friend outside.” Sheng Xuemei was also a little angry.
Chu Mingxuan naturally didn’t ask Li Se to leave immediately. He had great confidence in Li Se’s medical skills. After all, this was a doctor recommended by Secretary Song himself.
“Doctor Li, is there a problem?” Chu Mingxuan asked.
Li Se said solemnly, “Dr. Xu, I saw you taking the pulse and now you’re using acupuncture. You must be a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, right?”
“So what if I am?” Dr. Xu frowned, somewhat displeased with Li Se’s attitude.
“Since you are a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, don’t you know that pregnant women are forbidden from acupuncture?” Li Se said coldly, thinking that Dr. Xu was just a charlatan.
“Dr. Xu, is this true?” Sheng Xuemei asked.
“There is such a saying about pregnant women being forbidden from acupuncture,” Dr. Xu said dismissively. “But it only applies to specific acupoints and areas, such as the abdomen and lumbar sacral region. Acupoints like Hegu, Sanyinjiao, and Kunlun are forbidden. As long as these are avoided, there will be no problem. Mrs. Sheng, please rest assured, as a doctor, I am responsible for your life.”
Then he looked at Li Se and said indifferently, “Since you know about pregnant women being forbidden from acupuncture, are you also a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine?”
“Yes!” Li Se nodded.
Dr. Xu smiled disdainfully. “If you said you were a Western doctor, I might think you could treat minor illnesses like colds and fevers. But if you say you practice Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s truly laughable. If you study Traditional Chinese Medicine, you should also know how difficult it is to learn. Even I am over forty years old now, and I have been studying medicine for more than twenty years, which is older than your current age. You are so young and yet you dare to practice medicine. Aren’t you playing with patients’ lives?”
Traditional Chinese Medicine had indeed declined, but as long as one was Chinese, few wouldn’t know how difficult it was to learn, and this difficulty was why it had gradually declined.
In the perception of many, to achieve anything in Traditional Chinese Medicine, one had to be older. But Li Se was too young.
At this moment, everyone in the villa, except for Chu Mingxuan and Jiang Ranran, including the housekeeper and the nanny, basically did not believe that Li Se was a doctor. They probably thought he was a quack looking for a scam.
This was not the first time Li Se had heard such words, and he was already accustomed to it. However, what he was concerned about at the moment was not this, but Dr. Xu’s intention to use acupuncture. He shouted, “Although pregnant women are forbidden from acupuncture in certain areas and acupoints, any pregnant woman who undergoes acupuncture can easily miscarry. As a doctor, shouldn’t you be more cautious?”
