The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Gu Youyou smiled and decided not to beat around the bush. She directly asked, "So, what brings Concubine Du to my clinic today?"

Concubine Du glanced at the half-closed door. Gu Youyou immediately understood and got up to tightly close the door, then waited for her to speak.

"During our third young lady’s coming-of-age ceremony, I actually didn’t recognize Doctor Gu. I am truly ashamed."

Gu Youyou let out a dry laugh, "... as long as Concubine Du doesn’t find me presumptuous, it’s fine."

Concubine Du mustered a strained smile, looking quite uncomfortable. After a while, she said, "I don’t know if Doctor Gu can treat infertility? I have been married to my husband for five years now, and there’s still no movement in my belly. I’ve also consulted other doctors, but to no avail. Hearing about Doctor Gu’s exceptional medical skills, I decided to give it a try."

"Infertility?" Gu Youyou raised an eyebrow. She had heard they had not conceived. After a moment, she said, "That’s hard to say. There are many different reasons for infertility. Some can be treated, others cannot. Besides, having a child involves both husband and wife. It’s not necessarily the case that the problem lies with you..."

Concubine Du immediately interjected before Gu Youyou could finish, "It can’t be my husband’s problem. It must be me..."

Seeing her certitude, Gu Youyou got serious.
