The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 254: An Embarrassing Illness

In the front of the shop, Yun Jiao was diagnosing a patient.

Mrs. Li did not disturb her and went to sit on the row of chairs.

This row of chairs was originally prepared by Yun Jiao for customers to rest when there were many in the shop. However, the business hadn’t picked up much, and the chairs were often empty.

Yun Jiao’s patient was a woman.

Though it was warm in March, the woman wore a cloak, with even the hood on.

Yun Jiao first asked her, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The woman lowered her head, her voice was extremely low, and after a while, she said, "Below, I feel uncomfortable below."

Yun Jiao remained composed, "What are the symptoms?"

The woman’s head was lowered further, "First, some red spots appeared, and later, later the red spots disappeared, but it became patchy, neither painful nor itchy."

"I, I had previously consulted a doctor, and they said it was—yaws."

Yun Jiao nodded, reached for the pulse.

The pulse was rough and obstructed.

Yun Jiao stood up, "If you’re willing, follow me into the examination room, I need to check further."

The woman hesitated a bit but bit her lip when she saw Yun Jiao was a woman and agreed, "Alright then."

The woman got up and followed Yun Jiao.

Meanwhile, Ah Hu, who was sitting by the examination room, turned away uncomfortably.

That woman was the beauty he found last night from Chunxiang Building.

He had given her one hundred taels of silver to set up Zheng Juren. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The woman initially refused, saying it was harmful.

Because the doctors had said that once you contracted this disease, it couldn’t be cured, you could only wait to die.

Ah Hu talked with the woman for a long time, saying how evil Zheng Juren was, ulcers on his head, pus on his feet, a complete villain, and she reluctantly agreed.

Finally, when Ah Hu escorted the woman back to Chunxiang Building, he couldn’t help but advise her, "I’ve heard that the doctor at Renxin Hall is a woman with excellent medical skills, maybe she can treat your illness."

Sure enough, the woman came today.

When she came, she kept her head down and didn’t even notice Ah Hu.

If she did notice, Ah Hu wasn’t very worried; he looked a mess last night, even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.

When Yun Jiao performed the examination, she first put on a pair of rubber gloves.

After checking, she indicated for the woman to dress and rise; after removing the gloves, she washed her hands thoroughly and disinfected them with antiseptic.

Seeing the woman was sitting uneasily on the chair.

When she noticed Yun Jiao approaching, her head bowed deeply.

Yun Jiao prescribed the medication and told the woman, "This medicine must be taken continuously until the symptoms below disappear completely, then return to me for a follow-up."

The woman looked surprised at Yun Jiao, "This illness can be cured?"

Yun Jiao nodded.

In common speech, syphilis is known as yaws.

In modern times, syphilis was transmitted domestically from overseas in the fifteenth century.

It’s said that Emperor Tongzhi died of syphilis, but whether true or not remains uncertain.

In this era, Yun Jiao did not know how syphilis was transmitted here.

Upon careful examination, the woman was still in the primary stage, and as long as treated properly, it could be cured.

Yun Jiao then advised her, "But this disease is highly contagious, before recovering, you must not engage with—with men—"

The woman hesitated for a long time before nodding.

Despite contracting the disease, the madam still forced her to entertain guests, and it seemed she wouldn’t stop until she squeezed her dry.

However, she didn’t want to harm others. She had the one hundred taels of silver from last night and the silver ornaments she saved before, hoping she could buy her freedom when she returned.

The woman grabbed the medicine and left.

Mrs. Chen came over, dragged the chair to sit, and Yun Jiao hastily called out, "Mother, don’t sit on that chair."
