My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

"A preterm child," Mrs. Qiu was startled, but she composed herself and asked, "Can this also be discerned from the pulse?"

"Your pulse is deep, fine, and weak, not vigorous. This is not only caused by postnatal ailments but also congenital ones. A child born prematurely is indeed inferior to one born full-term by a margin. Without careful conditioning, it would be even more frail," Qin Liuxi explained. "You are a person blessed with good fortune later in life, having started from scratch with a good man, and lacking nothing in terms of fine sustenance. If it were not so, and you still lived as impoverished and toiling as before, your body would not only find it difficult to conceive – it would likely be wracked with illness, languishing in bed."

Mrs. Qiu subconsciously looked towards the man beside her, her eyes filled with warmth.

Landlord Qiu patted her hand for comfort.

"Let me take a look at your eyelids." Qin Liuxi took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, leaned forward, flipped her eyelids, examined her tongue, and asked a few questions.

"Let’s start with a prescription of Danggui Sini Soup. This soup can warm the meridians and dispel cold while nourishing and boosting vital energy. Besides that, I will also perform acupuncture on you, which can activate blood circulation and remove stasis, drive away evil spirits and fend off cold. Only with a warm uterus can warmth spread through the limbs and body, and only then can you conceive a child."

As she spoke, Qin Liuxi quickly prescribed the medication, finishing one slip of paper and pulling out another, "Just drinking Four Reversal Soup will only treat your cold uterus. We must also nourish your muscles and bones back to health for a full recovery. If you don’t mind the expense, you could purchase Changsheng Hall’s Yangrong Pills to take one pill morning and night. If you find it too expensive, this Solidifying Foundation and Nourishing Yuan prescription can also be made into pills by the herbal shop. Additionally, in your daily diet, you can consume medicinal meals, such as Angelica ginger mutton soup, which can warm the body, nourish deficiency, dispel cold, and stop pain."

Landlord Qiu watched her write as if she was divinely inspired, without a moment’s hesitation, swiftly completing three slips of paper, and then said, "Yangrong Pills from Changsheng Hall are better than the Solidifying Foundation and Nourishing Yuan, right?"

"Given the price, naturally, they are. The ingredients in Yangrong Pills are all refined elaborately and are extremely precious. For instance, it includes ginseng that is more than fifty years old." She didn’t mention the most important point – that all the ingredients were nurtured within the Spirit Gathering Array, which naturally makes the effect first-class.

Landlord Qiu rubbed his hands and said, "I know they are good, but they are hard to come by. Since you recommend them, you should also know that sometimes even Changsheng Hall runs out of stock."
