Everyone had been prepared to watch her make a fool of herself. Hadn't she claimed the old lady would have a stroke in half a month? On the fifteenth day, the old lady still went out, chatting and laughing healthily with everyone, telling anyone who would listen about Wu Caiwei's words.
"She said I was going to have a stroke, and now I'm fine, aren't I? Do I look like someone who's about to get sick?" The old lady felt a sense of satisfaction as everyone nodded in agreement and proceeded to call Wu Caiwei a quack doctor.
Who would have thought that during dinner that day, the old lady slid off the table while eating.
The family quickly and flusteredly helped her to bed and called for a nearby doctor. The doctors all shook their heads, saying she had symptoms of a stroke and that it was severe, advising them to prepare for the worst.
The family initially didn't believe Wu Caiwei's claims, but seeing that it was indeed a stroke, the eldest son had no choice but to rush to Wu Caiwei's door.
At this moment, Wu Caiwei had just finished her meal and was washing dishes with her daughter. Hearing a hurried knocking at the door, Qiu Chaihu quickly opened it.
"Is Dr. Wang here?" Seeing the man's anxious expression and that he was specifically looking for his mother, Qiu Chaihu quickly invited him in.
As soon as Wu Caiwei appeared, he knelt down, "Dr. Wang, please don't hold grudges and quickly save my mother. She really has had a stroke."
Upon hearing this, Wu Caiwei hurried back to her room to get her silver needles and the necessary medicinal herbs. She knew this day would come and had already prepared for it.
The man was so grateful that tears welled up in his eyes. He wasn't unaware of his mother's recent boasts outside, and he had thought the same way as his mother, believing Dr. Wang was just a quack doctor trying to scam money. Seeing that she wasn't holding a grudge, he decided that if his mother managed to pull through this ordeal, he would spread the word about her, for a good doctor shouldn't be buried in obscurity.
Wu Caiwei quickly rushed to the old lady's home. As soon as she saw the old lady, she began to insert silver needles into various acupoints on her body. After an hour, she slowly withdrew the needles.
The old lady's sons quickly gathered around, looking at her with hopeful eyes.
Wu Caiwei handed them the medicine she had brought and said with a look of pity, "If you had listened to me back then, none of this would have happened. Even if you've found me now, I can only say her life has been saved. She will be able to manage her daily life with some difficulty and will have to use a cane." Su Dan Novel Network
"This is already good. We are very satisfied. Thank you so much, Dr. Wang, you are truly a miracle doctor." The old lady's eldest son looked at her gratefully. He thought that if he were in Wang Chunyan's shoes, he would definitely not be such a magnanimous person to treat someone who had spoken ill of him. Moreover, the previous doctors had all said his mother was beyond saving. Now, Dr. Wang told them she would have to live with a cane. Although her health wouldn't be the same as before, at least her life was spared.
The old lady's sons were all filial and nodded in agreement. If their mother's life hadn't been saved today, coupled with Dr. Wang's previous words, they would definitely have regretted it for the rest of their lives.
"The medicine I gave you, drink it three times a day. This is a three-day supply. After three days, come back to see me and we'll check your condition and prescribe new medicine." Wu Caiwei knew that this time she would surely become famous, although she didn't wish for it to happen in this way.
The old lady's sons were extremely grateful for Wu Caiwei's intervention and told everyone about their mother's condition, vindicating her.
A few days later, her name as a miracle doctor spread throughout the capital's streets and alleys, and people flocked to her for treatment.
Although she ran a women's clinic, many high-ranking officials and influential figures offered her a substantial sum to make house calls. Wu Caiwei never turned down money, and after passing through her hands, many chronic and difficult-to-treat illnesses were either cured or alleviated, thus her reputation grew even stronger.
Wu Caiwei usually took Qiu Chaihu with her on house calls. He had medical skills and could broaden his horizons and learn more. She had intended for the child to continue his studies given his age, but he was deeply obsessed with medicine. Ever since he learned that his mother was such a skilled doctor, he pestered her daily to teach him, refusing to go to private tutoring.
Wu Caiwei herself didn't insist that her son become an official or anything. As long as he had a skill to rely on and could make a living, she felt content.
One day, the steward of the Marquis of Ning's mansion came to invite her. Uncharacteristically, Wu Caiwei did not bring Qiu Chaihu and went alone.
Upon arriving at the mansion, she learned that it was Yun Duo and Jiang Chen's wife, Madam Huang, who had invited her.
Jiang Chen and Madam Huang had been married for two years, and they had many concubine-born sons but no legitimate heir. Yun Duo had heard of Wu Caiwei's reputation and wanted her to examine her daughter-in-law. Although she had expressed some dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law's infertility over the years, Madam Huang's maternal family was very influential. If Jiang Chen wanted to vie for the position of heir apparent, they could provide him with significant assistance. Therefore, despite her displeasure, Yun Duo dared not express it and could only help her with treatment.
Coincidentally, Wu Caiwei had a reputation as a miracle doctor and had treated many infertile women early on, all of whom had subsequently become pregnant.
After taking Madam Huang's pulse, Wu Caiwei stated her symptoms, "Madam has irregular menstruation and experiences lower abdominal pain during her period. It is likely due to being exposed to cold in her youth and not being properly treated. However, you don't need to worry. It's a minor ailment for me. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take for a month."
"Thank you, Doctor. You are absolutely correct. I fell into a pond by accident when I was young. My family was poor then, and I wasn't treated properly, so it left a lingering illness. Many doctors have diagnosed it but couldn't cure it. Dr. Wang, you are known as a miracle doctor. When can I expect to become pregnant?" Madam Huang was well aware of her own condition. Many doctors had told her similar things, so she didn't dare to hold out too much hope, fearing disappointment.
"I know your concerns, Madam. I can only guarantee your physical health. As for when you will become pregnant, that is not something I can control." Wu Caiwei spoke truthfully. After all, even with the most profound medical skills, one cannot predict when someone will become pregnant.
Although Yun Duo and Madam Huang were not entirely satisfied with her answer, they thought that if the cold uterus condition could be treated, it would be much better than before, making the butler's personal invitation worthwhile.
Jiang Feng's enemies were Wu Caiwei's enemies. Wu Caiwei was certainly not going to kindly help his wife heal so that he could have many children and enjoy prosperity; she intended to give him a big surprise.
Jiang Chen had been feeling particularly bored lately. When Jiang Feng was around, he at least had a goal. Ever since Jiang Feng disappeared, everything had been developing in his favor. He finally had time to relax and enjoy life, but he didn't know what to do.
"I heard there are many wild animals in the Southern Mountains outside the city," Qing He, his subordinate, said casually when Jiang Chen once again asked if there was anything fun to do.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh, excitedly exclaiming, "How did I not think of that!"
