Sitting bored next to them, Huangfu Lingyao toyed with the tea cup that had long been emptied, making a soft clinking sound. He chuckled as he thought, ‘I knew my wife didn’t take the humiliation she suffered at Duke An’s Residence lightly. She was just waiting for the right opportunity here!’
Madam Miao immediately shrieked, “Your diagnostic method is absolutely ridiculous, asking people to undress without any preamble…”
But before she could finish, her daughter, Miao Linglong, tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Mother, we should follow Eldest Young Miss Liu’s method for treatment. After all, you’ve seen many doctors and taken countless medicines over the years, but your condition hasn’t improved. Why not let Eldest Young Miss Liu try a different approach? It might work.”
Liu Shimei gently reminded, “At Fusheng Pavilion, please call me Doctor Liu.”
Miao Linglong’s face stiffened.
She was quite adaptable and said, “Yes, we should address you as Doctor Liu. My apologies, it was impolite of me.”
She then reminded her mother once again, “Mother, you’ve been unwell for many years; we can’t afford to delay any longer! You know your health has been deteriorating, and there hasn’t been a peaceful day. It’s unbearable.”
Liu Shimei watched coldly from the sidelines.
It had to be said, Miao Linglong was incredibly patient and had deep reserves of cunning!
Similar conversations must have taken place countless times at home, with Miao Linglong persuading her repeatedly before she finally came to seek treatment after so long.
Madam Miao pondered for a moment, clearly tormented by her illness. She had no choice but to suppress her pride and say, “But what does ‘public image’ mean? Are you suggesting that my illness should be broadcast to the world, letting everyone know that so many people in Duke An’s Residence are sick?”
The problem was, falling ill was anything but honorable. She would be ridiculed by others in the future, which was something she couldn’t bear.
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and said, “In consideration of Madam Miao’s privacy, I won’t directly disclose the details of your illness. I’ll just say that families with a chaotic lifestyle due to having multiple wives and concubines often face such problems. Therefore, let Madam Miao take the lead and bring all the concubines in the family for a check-up, just a routine examination!”
Huangfu Lingyao, upon hearing this, was deeply impressed!
And who wouldn’t be?
His wife was indeed a clever woman!
Using Madam Miao as a publicity stunt, framing it as a health check-up, and then diagnosing several gynecological issues on Madam Miao’s side.
Once they publicized it, other wealthy families with multiple wives and concubines would likely follow suit!
Again and again, they could roll out gynecological examination packages, charging per person, making money for each individual!
How many prominent and ordinary families were there in the Capital City?
Even if they couldn’t capture everyone, capturing half of them and charging for medical treatment would still yield substantial income!
Finally, he understood why Liu Shimei insisted on developing and strengthening the specialized field of gynecology!
She had accurately seized the fact that Madam Miao’s condition was already severe, to the point where she couldn’t go on without medical attention. It was like holding the opponent by the throat: if she wanted Madam Miao to live, she would live; if she wanted her to die, she would die!
Madam Miao could choose not to cooperate, but the person suffering from the illness wasn’t Liu Shimei herself!
“How about it?” Liu Shimei looked at Madam Miao.
After thinking for a moment, she gave a meaningful look to Miao Linglong and said, “Miss Miao, you have a clear mind and should understand the pros and cons. I believe you can make a judgment.”
Miao Linglong’s lips tightened as she looked at Madam Miao.
Liu Shimei hadn’t finished her sentence yet, “Madam Miao, as my patient, I will protect your privacy. As long as you cooperate, it’s fine.. What do you think? If you agree, I’ll explain the fourth point to you!”
