Zhang Xiaoshan saw Ge Xiue’s troubled expression and knew that it must be some secretive illness. She said to Ge Xiue with patience.
"Sister-in-law Xiue, the patient should not hide from the doctor. Go ahead and speak, there are no strangers here anyway."
Ge Xiue’s cheeks turned red as she clenched her teeth and said.
"Alright then, I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t laugh at your sister-in-law Xiue. I, I haven’t had my period for two months..."
Zhang Xiaoshan was momentarily stunned upon hearing Ge Xiue’s words.
"No period for two months? Well, doesn’t that mean you’re pregnant?"
Ge Xiue immediately became guilty as she spoke to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"My, my husband has been away for several months now, I, I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan was even more shocked to hear this news.
If Ge Xiue’s husband had been away for several months, that meant nothing could have happened between them. So how could Ge Xiue be pregnant?
Considering a certain possibility, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly stuck his head out of the door and looked around warily, making sure no one was around before speaking softly to Ge Xiue again.
"Sister-in-law Xiue, whose child is it then? This is a serious matter, you..."
Zhang Xiaoshan felt like his world view was being flipped upside down.
In his eyes, Ge Xiue had always been a decent and virtuous image of a good wife and loving mother. He never expected that Ge Xiue would indulge in that sort of thing.
"So, sister-in-law Xiue, did you come to me today to secretly take care of the child?"
But at this time, Ge Xiue pinched Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm and complained to him with a shy face.
"You bad boy, where is your mind going? Am I the kind of woman who flirts wantonly? Even though my husband has wronged me, I would never do such shameless acts, and besides, with the likes of White Dragon Village’s louts, how could I possibly get involved with them?"
Zhang Xiaoshan thought about it and realized she was right.
Ge Xiue would definitely count as an educated woman in a small place like White Dragon Village, with a nice character, virtuous behavior, and beauty. She wouldn’t have eyes for the brutes in the village.
"Then what’s going on with you?"
Ge Xiue explained awkwardly to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Although I am not a paragon of chastity, I am definitely not promiscuous. You must believe me, I haven’t been with a man for at least half a year, and I don’t know what’s been going on recently. Suddenly, my periods stopped, and sometimes my abdomen hurts and I feel nauseous..."
"I don’t dare let others know about this; who knows how they would talk? So, I had to come to you quietly. You must keep this secret for your sister-in-law Xiue."
By the end of her explanation, Ge Xiue’s voice was as quiet as the buzzing of a mosquito.
Upon hearing Ge Xiue’s explanation, Zhang Xiaoshan’s brows furrowed slightly.
He had no doubts about Ge Xiue’s character.
If Ge Xiue said she hadn’t been with a man for half a year, then it certainly couldn’t be pregnancy.
Ge Xiue was only in her early thirties, so how could she be undergoing amenorrhea?
Zhang Xiaoshan quietly used his Heavenly Eye ability to scan Ge Xiue in front of him.
Ge Xiue dared not meet Zhang Xiaoshan’s gaze, nervously lowering her head.
Ge Xiue’s shy demeanor, typical of a demure woman, inexplicably made Zhang Xiaoshan’s blood boil.
In the past, he was a virgin boy, and Ge Xiue was like his own older sister; he merely felt affection and never harbored any disrespectful thoughts.
But now, having lost his virginity, and especially after acquiring the Nine Dragon Devouring Sky Art, Zhang Xiaoshan distinctly felt his desires stirring more frequently.
When he took a good look at Ge Xiue, he realized that she was indeed quite appealing.
Because she had given birth, Ge Xiue’s hips were wider than those of a younger woman, making her buttocks appear especially large and shapely.
Her body was full where it should be and slender where it should be, exuding mature womanly charms that Luo Meili, who never had children, didn’t possess.
"Little Shan, you, you should stop looking."
Ge Xiue felt Zhang Xiaoshan’s gaze contained a strange hue, causing her already rosy cheeks to flush even redder.
"Ah, Little Shan has grown into a big man. It seems I can’t treat him like a child anymore, nor can I stay alone with him. If I lose control, it would be too embarrassing..."
Zhang Xiaoshan felt awkward upon seeing Ge Xiue’s inner voice.
"How could I entertain such filthy thoughts about sister-in-law Xiue? It’s so inappropriate."
Zhang Xiaoshan dismissed the clutter in his mind and focused on diagnosing Ge Xiue’s condition.
"Cold Palace Amenorrhea Syndrome!"
"Chill in the uterus coupled with a long absence of marital relations, blood and qi disorder, and hormonal imbalance have led to abdominal pain and menstrual irregularities..."
"Treatment method: massage to unblock blood and qi flow, supplemented with Blood Circulation Soup for nourishment. If marital relations can be resumed normally, the effect would be even better!"
When Zhang Xiaoshan used his Heavenly Eye ability to discern the nature of Ge Xiue’s condition, he was astonished.
It was indeed caused by a long absence of marital relations.
It seems what Ge Xiue said earlier was true—she and her husband hadn’t been in contact for several months now.
"Little Shan, if you, if you can’t help, then I, I will go to the health clinic in town to ask again."
Feeling Zhang Xiaoshan’s intense gaze, Ge Xiue’s heart raced and her breathing became erratic, feeling flustered and wanting to leave the health room.
"Sister-in-law Xiue, wait a moment."
Zhang Xiaoshan called out to Ge Xiue, speaking frankly.
"I’ve figured out what’s wrong with you."
Ge Xiue was overjoyed.
"Then please tell sister-in-law Xiue quickly."
Zhang Xiaoshan also felt a bit embarrassed at this point, but as a medical practitioner, he still candidly explained to Ge Xiue.
"You have what’s called Cold Palace Amenorrhea Syndrome, which is due to coldness inside your body and a long absence of marital relations that has caused your blood and qi to stagnate. I can help you." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
"No marital relations... you, how can you help with that."
Ge Xiue’s face instantly turned as red as a monkey’s bottom.
