Chapter 63 “The Left Eye Jumped Wealth, The Right Eye Jumped Disaster”

“Madam …” The Mama waiting beside called in a low voice.
Mrs. Lin waved at her with a cold smile, meaning that she didn’t have to worry. “He didn’t care his own reputation. Why should I care?” And then she turned to Su Muge.
“Miss Su, in fact, I asked you to come here not to treat me, but the General.”
Su Muge stayed calm without showing even a hint of surprise, which made Mrs. Lin think more highly of her. “What’s the matter with General?”
“A shameful disease.” The old Mama stepped forward and helped Mrs. Lin stand up.
“Miss Su, please come with me.”
Su Muge asked no more, carried her medical kit and followed Mrs. Lin out of the yard.
General Valgime Mansion was very large, but the internal building structure was very simple. As a result, the mansion appeared to be a little empty.
After a quarter’s walk, they stopped in front of a remote courtyard.
“Madam, you are here.” The pageboy guarding outside hurriedly came forward and bowed to Mrs. Lin.
“How is General?”
“He’s still the same as before. No improvement.”
“Okay.”
Mrs. Lin walked into the yard, came to the main room, and stopped at the door to look back at Su Muge. “Miss Su, General is inside.”
Su Muge followed Mrs. Lin into the room. On entering, she sensed a rotten smell.
Mrs. Lin covered her mouth and nose with her handkerchief, showing her disgust in her expression. “Miss Su, you must feel ridiculous. General is always fond of having sexual affairs, and became like this after returning from the brothel not long ago.”
Su Muge took out a special mask and a pair of gloves from the medical kit. She put them on before going to the bed. The closer she got, the heavier the rotten smell became. Even if she was wearing a mask stuffed with medicine powder, she could still smell it.
Su Muge lifted up the curtain and saw a festering face with red spots. She lifted the quilt and smelled an even worse stench. Mrs. Lin behind her could not help but retch.
“Open the doors and windows for ventilation.”
Hesitant as Mrs. Lin was, she still had the doors and windows opened. “Wait outside. Don’t let anyone come in.”
“Yes.”
Su Muge took off General’s coat and found the fester of red spots on his upper body less serious than that on his face.
Judging from the symptoms, it could be preliminarily diagnosed as the middle and late stage of syphilis. This disease was called sexual disease in the Chu, since most patients were infected with it due to licentious sexual behavior.
“What did the imperial doctor say?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin blinked her eyes in embarrassment. Although officials in the Chu were not forbidden to go to the brothel, it was not glorious after all. The Emperor was strict and self-disciplined. If he knew the dignified General Valgime had such a disease, the Lin family would be ashamed!
“Miss Su, you know it’s shameful to spread the news after all.” Since Su Muge had already known, there was no need to hide anything from her.
“Ms. Su, Madam has also invited a famous doctor in the capital to come for treatment, but …” It was useless!
“General Lin’s condition is quite serious.” However, it wasn’t impossible to cure the disease if she was going to take over. After all, she had spent a whole year studying the disease, and General Lin’s disease was not too difficult to treat.
On hearing that, Mrs. Lin’s face became pale.
No matter how she resented General Lin for his ruthlessness, he was the backbone of this mansion. Besides, her eldest son was still young. What would the child do in the future without General Lin?
“Is there nothing you can do, Miss Su?”
Su Muge frowned with a thoughtful look. “I can have a try. But whether General Lin can be cured or not depends on his luck.”
On hearing it, Mrs. Lin held back her tears in her eyes instantly. “Really?” Other doctors invariably advised them to prepare for his funeral!
“Mrs. Lin, if you trust me, I can give it a try.”
“Yes, yes, I believe in you, Miss Su.”
“I’ll make a prescription to check out General’s condition before I proceed with the following treatment.”
“Okay, okay!”
…
In Su Mansion, Li mama walked into the room with a porcelain cup.
“Madam, I just knew that the eldest Miss was about to treat Madam General Valgime.”
An was checking the account book. On hearing the new, her hands paused.
“Madam General Valgime?”
“Yes.”
An frowned and put down the account book in her hands. General Valgime’s status in the capital was so high that even her father had to be polite to him. If Su Muge cured Mrs. Lin’s illness … she would not dare to think about the consequence!
“No, I can’t wait any longer!”
“What do you want to do, Madam? That’s General Mansion …”
An squinted at Li Mama. “Do you think I’ll offend people in General Mansion?”
Li Mama realized her mistake and said, “Then, Madam means …”
An narrowed her eyes. “Of course, I’ll pick the weak for a start!”
…
Su Muge wrote two prescriptions for external use and internal use respectively and gave them to Mrs. Lin.
“Take this medicine for three days and observe the effect. If the condition does not get worse, I’ll come back in three days.” Su Muge told them some precautions before leaving.
In the main room, Mrs. Lin asked Sun Mama to bring out a small wooden box.
“Miss Su, thank you for taking the trouble to come. It’s a little reward.”
Sun Mama opened the box which was full of glittering gold!
Su Muge didn’t refuse but accepted it after a few words of politeness. “Mrs. Lin, don’t worry, I’ll do my best to cure General’s disease.”
“That’s very nice of you, Miss Su. And this … this disease …”
Seeing Mrs. Lin’s look, Su Muge knew exactly what she wanted to say. “As a medical practitioner, keeping patients’ information confidential is having respect for them.”
Hearing her words, Mrs. Lin put on a much more sincere smile.
Su Muge didn’t stay for long. She left after another cup of tea.
Sitting on the carriage, Su Muge smiled happily holding the box of gold.
She had been nursing her health in a very frugal way due to limited money. As a result, she had gained no prominent effect so far. Next, she had to further improve her health condition and implement her future plan.
After returning to Su Mansion, Su Muge went straight into her room.
Although she was able to cure General Lin’s illness, she still had to ensure that she didn’t make any mistake. Thus, she still had to do some research and work out a better plan for treatment.
At dawn, the golden sunlight shined through the window paper into the dim room, with a warm light falling on Su Muge’s face.
She opened her eyes slowly, rubbed her brows and sat up.
Yueru heard the movement and pushed in.
“Miss, you’re awake.”
“Yeah.”
After Su Muge finished washing, a maid entered holding breakfast. Usually, Zhao would always come and have breakfast with her, but today she hadn’t appeared by now.
“Yueru, where’s my mother?”
“Miss, Madam went to Luoyin Temple in the suburb to redeem a wish today. She has always wanted to do so, but she was not familiar with the capital before. It happens to be the middle of this month today, so Madam got prepared in advance and set off early in the morning.”
Zhao believed in Buddhism. She had been eager to offer incense to Buddha in Shunyang prefecture, but she had never gone to the temple because she dared not ask for a permission.
“Does father know about this?” Now Su Lun still needed Su Muge to work for him, so he would not let anything happen to Zhao.
“Yes, our Madam had talked to My Lord last night, and he agreed.”
Su Muge nodded and asked no more, thinking that it was good for Zhao to go out for a walk after all.
After breakfast, Su Muge went to the yard for exercise. She was too weak, so now she would exercise at least one hour every day to strengthen her body.
Just after she finished running around in the yard for one circle, she saw a maid coming out of the latrine while covering her stomach. As Su Muge saw her face clearly, she found that the maid was Meihua.
She was the leading maid of Zhao and she usually accompanied Zhao without leaving for one moment. Why was she still in the mansion now?
With doubt, Su Muge stepped forward. “Sister Meihua, you are you feeling alright?”
Getting closer to her, Su Muge found her face pale and her eyes empty and decided at first sight that she was sick.
“The, the eldest Miss, I don’t know what’s going on. I got a terrible stomachache when I got up this morning, and I am still feeling very uncomfortable now.”
Having heard that, Su Muge asked Yueru to help her sit down in the room and took her pulse calmly.
It seemed that she had gastrointestinal disorders and flatulence, which could cause vomit, diarrhea, and weakness.
“Sister Meihua, have you eaten anything bad?”
Meihua shook her head. “I just had breakfast from the general kitchen and nothing else.”
The meals prepared by the general kitchen were for servants, which were all cooked in a big pot, so it was unlikely to be the cause if only Meihua had symptoms.
“Yueru, go to open my second drawer and take out a white porcelain bottle. There is a gray pill in it. Bring it here.”
“Yes.”
Yueru soon brought the pill, and Su Muge let Meihua take it.
After swallowing the pill, Meihua felt her stomach warm and her pain relieved a lot. “Thank you very much, Miss.”
“Sister Meihua, have a good rest.” Su Muge got up to leave. When she almost walked out of the room, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Meihua.
“By the way, sister Meihua, since you’re feeling unwell, who accompanied my mother to the temple?”
“Miss, Xingyu and Hehua did.” The two were originally given to Zhao by Su Muge, and after being trained for a period, they had already become secondary maids of Zhao.
“Who brought you breakfast today?”
“Xingyu went to the general kitchen and brought it back to my room.”
In Su Muge’s impression, Xingyu was a pretty girl and her parents were both long-term servants in Su Mansion, so she was a little spoiled. Although she didn’t dare to lose temper in front of Zhao, it was impossible for her to serve other maids!
It was really abnormal!
“Have a good rest.”
Su Muge suddenly became nervous with an ominous feeling rising in her heart. and her face turned sullen when she returned to her room.
“Yueru, prepare a carriage and tell them I’ll go to Luoyin Temple for incense.”
“Miss, you are going out?”
Su Muge saw her surprised look and laughed. “Mother has always said in Shunyang prefecture that I could come alive mainly because of the blessing of Buddha, so I should go to the temple to offer incense to Buddha.”
Hearing this, Yueru felt a little weird but couldn’t find anything wrong, so she asked the little maids to prepare the carriage.
Su Muge put on a more convenient dress with a gauze hat and left the mansion.
On the carriage, Su Muge had no mood to enjoy the hustle and bustle on the street. And her right eye had kept jumping wildly since she got on the carriage.
“The left eye jumped wealth, the right eye jumped disaster!”
