World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess

Chapter 32 An Emergency Treatment

“Pitter-patter, splash!” The rain was falling on the carriage with loud noises, just as those annoying things in Su Lun’s mind.

Only half an hour ago, Meng Changde showed up at the Su mansion unexpectedly, asked him to bring Su Muge to his place for Old Lady Meng’s treatment, and implied that he could definitely help with his job promotion assessment.

Su Lun had been considering about how to close his relationship with Meng Changde, and how could he expect such a good thing came to him itself!

Rubbing his hands in the carriage, he tried hard to hide his excitement, which Su Muge still easily sensed from his eyes.

Su Lun grabbed her on to the carriage before she could take a seat in the study room, and she had no idea where they were about to go.

With a slight cough before he talked, Su Lun opened his mouth in a normal mood, and said, “Old Lady Meng suddenly felt sick tonight, and the imperial doctor came back with them can do nothing, so they wanted to you to go over and have a look.”

Su Muge frowned with a hard look on her face. “Father, what if I can do nothing, either?”

She knew that Su Lun had already agreed them, even didn’t need to ask about it. If it were not for Meng Changde’s promise on something else, then what could made him excited like this?!

Seeing that hard face of Su Muge, Su Sun was a bit unpleasant. “We have to go over and have a look, though. The Meng family is our benefactor.”

Su Muge pursed her lips and said nothing.

Shortly after, the carriage was outside the Meng mansion. A servant opened the side door directly for their carriage to go inside after they told him about their identity and intention. Old Lady Meng’s situation couldn’t be worse.

The rain had become more and more heavy, with the rain curtain almost blocking one’s sight.

There were a crowd of people in the Longevity Courtyard where Old Lady Meng lived. Meng Changde staggered out of the room in panic when Su Muge and her father arrived.

“Eldest Miss Su, please, please save my mother!”

Standing behind of Meng Changde, Meng Xiuwen looked at Su Muge with a dark face.

“Please forgive us if you think we have offended you before.”

Su Muge stayed quite calm and gave them a glimpse.

“Show me in, and I’ll have a look.”

“Sure, sure. Please come this way, Eldest Miss Su.”

Su Muge followed Meng Changde and others into the room, and there were almost ten people in it.

“The two who are most familiar with the situation and the imperial doctor may stay. Others should get out.”

The words were too blunt, and several ladies in the room felt they were offended. But no one dared to argue against her at this moment since they were aware that Meng Changde had thought highly of Su Muge.

Meng Xiuwen approached Meng Changde. “Dad, please leave with the others. Too many people might cause a chaos in reverse.”

Meng Changde had this blind confidence in Su Muge, and he said no more. He nodded his head and left with the others, only leaving two maids and the imperial doctor, Hu.

However, Meng Xiuwen stayed, and Su Muge didn’t say anything.

She walked to the bed of Old Lady Meng, and saw her lying on the bed with her eyes tightly closed.

“What’s the diagnosis result before?” Su Muge looked at Doctor Hu and asked.

Doctor Hu had been working in the Imperial Institute of Medicine for many years. Being asked by a girl under the age of fifteen like this, Doctor Hu was a bit unhappy, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he answered, “Old Lady has always had the illness of chill in her bone. With that damp-phlegm before and the dampness caused by rain these days, her old illness relapsed by all those stimulations combined.”

“Give me your prescription.”

Doctor Hu’s face became harder and he stood still.

Meng Xiuwen took over the prescription and handed it over to Su Muge.

“Thank you.”

Su Muge went through the prescription carefully. It was the prescription that fit in with those symptoms described him. However, Old Lady didn’t get any better after taking the medicine accordingly, and instead, her condition even went worse. It meant that Old Lady was misdiagnosed.

Su Muge stepped up and felt her pulse. From the pulse condition, it was indeed like dampness entering the body, which then led to a series of complications caused by the block of the vital energy and blood.

“How about her excretions these days?”

With her face flushed red with a bit panic, Rumei didn’t how to answer the question.

Meng Xiuwen was also shocked that Su Muge had asked out a question that like so directly.

“Old, Old Lady, she, she did not...”

“Good. Tell me about what she ate these days.”

“Sure. In the morning, she has a bowl of traditional bird’s-nest porridge, a steamed twisted roll, with some side dishes...”

After hearing Rumei’s answer, Su Muge found that Old Lady Meng has suffered from constipation.

She reached out her hands and pressed on the belly of Old Lady, and it was a bit flatulent as expected.

Usually, the cold would cause diarrhea. Old Lady Meng, however, had constipation, which meant she had quite some internal heat accumulated.

Su Muge then pinched the arms and legs of the old lady, and found that hers were very stiff. With dampness, cold and heat those three combined at the same time, no wonder she was so sick.

“Eldest Miss Su, how, how about Old Lady?” Seeing the serious face of Su Muge, Rumei felt her heart in her throat.

The sickness of Old Lady Meng was actually quite easy to solve when the causes were cleared.

With no hurry to continue her treatment, Su Muge frowned in silence.

The more she behaved like this, the more anxious the people in the room became. Doctor Hu made a cold snort to himself, and he believed that it was an idiot’s daydream that the medical skills of such a little girl could beat his!

Meng Xiuwen was not sure about Su Muge’s expression, either.

“Can you cure my grandma, Miss Su?”

Su Muge raised her head and looked at him. “Yes, but it depends on Old Lady herself to what extend can she be cured.”

“You know how to cure this?” Doctor Hu was full of doubts.

“Though troublesome, it’s not incurable.” Su Muge finished her words, took out a bag of silver needles with her, and opened it.

Doctor Hu was even more surprised when he saw the silver needles. His eyes widely opened. “You, you know how to use the silver needles?”

Su Muge raised her eyebrows in a careless way. “Too difficult for you?”

Doctor Hu almost choked upon hearing such a question. That’s far more than “difficult”! It was almost unachievable!

He had learned it many years ago, and he had only gained superficial knowledge even after several years of studying. All those years, he had been afraid of using the silver needles. And the more the fear, the less he had used them. Finally, he was even too scared to touch them! Even his respected teacher had rarely used any silver needle. It was obvious how difficult acupuncture skills could be!

The Miss from the Su mansion, however, was not afraid to use those silver needles to treat patients. How dare she!

Su Muge, who was then sterilizing the silver needles, did not have much time to bother about Doctor Hu’s thoughts. She only used them because acupuncture was the most efficient way.

“Let Old Lady’s legs out.”

Rumei, together with another maid called Ruxue, did as she said.

Su Muge took the silver needles in her hand, and prickled them into the acupoints with a slight turn of them between her fingertips. A while later, there were silver needles all over Old Lady’s legs and feet.

While waiting for Old Lady Meng coming to herself, Su Muge wrote down a prescription and gave it to Rumei. “Go and fetch the medicine. Bring it immediately to Old Lady when it’s well decocted.”

“Yes, sure.”

“Miss Su, when can my grandma be awake?”

“Very soon.”

A quarter later, with a violent cough, Old Lady was awake.

“Grandma!” With two steps forward, Meng Xiuwen came to the bed of Old Lady.

Pop-eyed, Doctor Hu looked at Old Lady in amazement.

“How, how can it be possible!”

Su Muge went forward and took the silver needles off one after another.

Old Lady Meng’s eyes were still blurred. After all the silver needles were taken off, she could see everything clearly.

“Hanyu...”

“I’m here, grandma.”

Meng Xiuwen helped Old Lady Meng to sit up.

When she saw Su Muge standing in her room, Old Lady Meng was a bit stunned. She then had another look at Doctor Hu, who was standing aside with a pale face.

“Why...why is the child here?”

Saw the confusion in Old Lady Meng’s eyes, Meng Xiuwen answered her with tenderness, “Father brought her here.”

Old Lady Meng nodded her head, and leaned on the soft pillow with her tired body.

“Mother, you are awake!”

Being told that Old Lady Meng had come to herself, Meng Changde went back into the room with other people.

Su Muge left with her stuff packed.

Seeing Su Muge coming out, Su Lun stepped forward and asked her in a low voice, “How’s everything?”

“She’s awake.”

Su Lun was actually thrilled, yet he dared not show any hint of happiness.

Meng Xiuwen followed Su Muge out and walked in front of her. “Eldest Miss Su, thank you so much for saving my grandma’s life.”

His father had to invite them from the Su mansion late at night since everybody was in a hurry when Doctor Hu told them that his grandmother might not make it till the next morning.

It was not until then had he cleared up all his doubts on Su Muge’s medical skills. She was indeed something.

Therefore, the gratitude he expressed just now was from the bottom of his heart.

Su Muge smiled, but with a bit coldness. “As long as Eldest Master Meng doesn’t expect that I have any other intention.” Although she did want to ask for something, he could not deny the fact that she had saved a life.

Those words embarrassed Meng Xiuwen since he did think that Su Muge approached his grandmother with her own selfish purpose.

Not long afterwards, there were Meng Changde, with his wife.

“Lord Su and Eldest Miss Su, thank you so much for saving my grandma’s life.”

“You are very welcome, Lord Meng. Old Lady has been kind to my child, Muge, and it’s our duty to pay her back the kindness.”

“I apologize for asking you two to come here so late at night. It’s almost midnight, so why not take a rest and stay over in our mansion? You can go back home tomorrow.”

“It’s...”

“I can tell that Eldest Miss Su is tired. So, Lord Meng, please stay.” Eldest Madam Meng also attempted to ask them to stay.

It would be so rude to refuse Meng Changde, and therefore, Su Lun agreed.

It was not a big deal for Su Muge. After all, it took a lot of physical strength to be called up in the middle of the night to treat a patient.

Su Muge was taken to a guest room for female by the maid who had been ordered by Eldest Madam Meng.

Su Muge had always been happy with everything, accommodating herself to any circumstance would be fine, and she had no habit of sleeping on her own bed. So she fell asleep instantly after she lied down.

The sun had already risen when she woke up the next morning.

“Is Sister Su still asleep?”

“Yes. She stayed up late last night and is still asleep at the moment.”

“Humph, what a good manner. How can one get up so late as a guest?”

Su Muge rubbed the inner corners of her eyebrows and opened her eyes. It’s better off sleeping in her own room with no one disturbing her.

The maid outside heard the sound of Su Muge pulling the bell aside the bed, and went in to help her wash and dress up.

“Sister Su, you’re awake.” With a head reaching out into the room, Meng Tiantian smiled at Su Muge in sweetness.

“Third Miss Meng.”

“Sister, please don’t be so distant. Just call me Tiantian. My grandma is awake and she is waiting for you.”

“Eldest Miss Su, how important do you think yourself is, to let the people in the whole room waiting for you!” Standing at the door, Meng Shushu opened her eyes wide open with a bit anger.

Su Muge stood up without being bothered. “Sorry for keeping everybody waiting for so long. Let’s go.”
