Chapter 1096: Chapter 1100 Heartache

Gu Junzhu saw beads of cold sweat on his forehead and his complexion turned pale and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Don’t be nervous, I was just asking.”

The doctor nodded repeatedly, “I’m not nervous, not nervous at all. Fifth Master, your illness is really treatable, just discontinue your medication and rest for a while and you should definitely recover.”

“Good, I hope so,” Gu Junzhu replied with a light smile. “Besides this, is there any other problem?”

“You have no more problems, but your wife has a minor issue,” the doctor glanced at Ye Xingbei reluctantly as if he hated to bring it up, but had to, “Your wife has a cold uterus…”

The doctor swallowed and said with difficulty, “Forgive my frankness… a cold uterus is a constitution that is very difficult to conceive with, so your wife’s body also needs to be conditioned…”

He thought this couple was simply unfortunate.

Both of them wanting a child, one with weak sperm, low vitality, and the other with a cold uterus, not easily conducive for conception.

What kind of child is this?

It’s like farming, the soil is deficient, the seeds are poor, how can the seeds possibly take root and sprout?

Of course, he felt he was even more unfortunate.

The couple’s misfortune was their own matter after all, and he, being uninvolved, was pushed into this due to the higher-ups; now he had to serve them with all his might.

If things had gone smoothly, he could have made a good impression in front of Fifth Lord of Gu, which would have benefited him later.

But now… if only he doesn’t get silenced, he would be grateful!

“Cold uterus?” Gu Junzhu’s voice showed concern, breaking his train of thought.

He came to his senses and hurriedly explained, “This ‘palace’ refers to the uterus. Cold uterus means that the uterus is cold. It is often related to being exposed to the cold during childhood. Did your wife often drink cold water or consume a lot of cold beverages when she was young?”

Gu Junzhu looked toward Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei thought for a moment then shook her head, “When I was a child, I seldom drank cold beverages and didn’t like cold water. But before I was fifteen, I used to wash clothes with cold water. Does that relate?”

“Washing clothes?” The doctor was surprised. “Don’t you use a washing machine?”

Ye Xingbei chuckled and shook her head, “My family was quite poor when I was young; we didn’t have a washing machine. I used to wash clothes by hand.”

The doctor frowned. “You used cold water even in winter?”

Ye Xingbei nodded, “Yes.”

“That certainly matters,” the doctor said, looking at Ye Xingbei with a sympathetic gaze. “Washing clothes with cold water during winter, your hands must have been freezing numb, right?”

Ye Xingbei just nodded and didn’t speak.

The doctor frowned deeply, “What about during your menstrual period? Did you also use cold water to wash clothes?”

Ye Xingbei nodded again, “Yes.”

The doctor’s brow furrowed, “Didn’t that cause you pain during your period?”

“It did,” Ye Xingbei spoke, “But later I met a good Chinese herbalist who adjusted it for me.”

“Oh,” the doctor nodded, “No wonder I asked you earlier if you experienced painful periods and you said no.”

“Yes,” Ye Xingbei smiled, “It doesn’t hurt now, unless I accidentally consume something cold before it starts or if something else is amiss; then I might experience pain for half a day, but most of the time, there’s no issue.”

The doctor wanted to say more but was interrupted by Gu Junzhu, “Does a cold uterus affect my wife’s health?”

“It doesn’t,” the doctor replied. “Your wife’s overall health is very good, much better than yours. You have many hidden injuries on your body that need to be cared for from now on. The only issue with your wife is the cold uterus, which can also be adjusted quite well with a period of Chinese medicine. Both of you should not bear any mental burden.”
