77 Epidermis
āOld master, Iāve troubled you with my illness. Iāve been a burden to you for so many years and Iāve been unable to help you much. Iām really regretful. I just think that itās better to just die like this. Itāll be a release for both you and me.ā
The madam was also panting when she spoke, and she spoke intermittently, making it difficult for Mo Ruyue to listen from the side.
āWife, what are you saying? If I despise you for being a burden, I would have already written a divorce letter to you, why wait until now? So, donāt ever mention these things again!ā
The magistrate pretended to be displeased. The couple ālooked at each other affectionatelyā and remained silent. The only thing missing was the part of āholding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes,ā which made the whole scene look extra fake.
!!
However, Mo Ruyue didnāt open her mouth to interrupt their performance. Instead, she restrained her aura a little and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible so as not to disturb their loving husband and wife show.
At least the magistrate still remembered Mo Ruyueās existence. He suddenly turned to Mo Ruyue and said, āLady Qin, come over and take a look. My wife suffers the most at this time of the year. As long as you can relieve her pain a little, I donāt care even if I have to go bankrupt!ā
āMaster!ā
The madam said in a timely choked up voice, and her eyes turned red.
Only then did Mo Ruyue take a step forward and reveal herself in front of his wife. He said to the two, āMy ability is really limited, and itās not as magical as the rumors say. But since Iām already here, of course Iāll do my best, but I also need Madamās full cooperation. Otherwise, even if I have the ability of a great principal golden immortal, I canāt cure a patient who canāt cooperate.ā
She said the ugly words first. If the wife still relied on her status and acted like an officialās wife, then donāt blame her for being ready to quit at any time.
āLady Qin, right? you donāt have to be so modest. Since the old master could invite you here, it means that he has acknowledged your ability. I believe that you must have your own outstanding qualities.ā
The county magistrateās wife spoke for a while before she ran out of strength. She stopped and rested for a while before continuing, āIāll definitely cooperate with you. Donāt worry, Lady Qin. ā
Mo Ruyue nodded. āThatās good. Itās getting late. Letās start.ā
After she finished speaking, she used her eyes to signal the county magistrate to leave. However, he didnāt seem to understand her meaning and continued to stand by the bed.
āOld master, Iām going to start the diagnosis. Youād better leave.ā
Mo Ruyue didnāt know if he really didnāt understand or if he was deliberately not leaving, so he might as well make it clear.
āMy wife and I are husband and wife. Do you have to avoid me during the consultation process?ā The magistrate asked in surprise.
āOld master, when Iām diagnosing Madam, I need to check the condition of the lesion on the skin. Iāll need to take off her clothes when the time comes. Even if you two are husband and wife, itās best for you to leave.ā
Mo Ruyue made his words even clearer.
The magistrate was stunned. He had never told Mo Ruyue that his wife had a skin problem, but she knew about it. Could it be that what she had said outside was true?
āAlright, since thatās the case, Iāll leave for a while. If thereās anything you need after the consultation, just tell Mei Xiang and let her prepare it.ā
After the magistrate finished speaking, he looked deeply at Mo Ruyue, as if he wanted to attract her attention. However, Mo Ruyue had already walked to the bedside and sat down. He started to reach out to touch the Madamās wrist, and had no intention of looking up at him.
He stood there for a while longer before he turned around and left.
The county magistrateās wifeās family name was Wang. After she married, she followed her husbandās surname, Liu, and was called Mrs. Liu Wang. When she saw that Mo Ruyue was actually wearing a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings, her brows immediately furrowed slightly.
āLady Qin, youāre taking my pulse while wearing gloves, can you diagnose it clearly?ā
āMadam, you may not know this, but these gloves are made of amniotic sac membrane, which is almost equivalent to a second layer of skin. Itās not thick, and it wonāt affect the effect of pulse reading.ā
āIāll need to check the lesion on your skin later. You canāt touch it directly with your fingers, or youāll be infected. Iām sure that when Madam fell ill, the people around her were also infected, right?ā
After Mo Ruyue said this, Liu Wangshi shut her mouth in silence. This disease was indeed contagious, but not everyone who came into contact with her was infected. Mo Ruyueās actions just now still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
After being sick for so many years, her mind had become extremely delicate and sensitive. Even if it was an unconscious action of others, she would be able to imagine many different meanings.
She wouldnāt think that Mo Ruyue was doing the most basic self-protection. Instead, she would think that Mo Ruyue was complaining that her illness was contagious and dirty.
However, she was still proud of her identity. Although she had noted this down in her heart, she did not show it on her face.
Mo Ruyue carefully examined Liu Wangshi for a while, then retracted his hand and said to her, āIāll have to trouble you to undress, Madam. Iāll leave only a pair of underwear on later. Donāt leave any clothes on your upper body, and just cover it with numbness so that I can carefully observe your injured area.ā
As she spoke, a servant girl had already come over to help Liu Wangshi take off her clothes. During this process, even Mo Ruyue followed her out of the room.
Even in her previous life, when she was seeing a doctor, the patient would also change into the patientās garb to avoid the doctor, so she did not think that Liu Wangshi was being pretentious.
Soon, the little servant girl came out from behind the screen. Mo Ruyuue said to the little servant girl, āLater, put Madamās clothes in a wooden bucket and put soap in it. Then, go and get the medicine according to the prescription I gave you. In the future, all the clothes and bedding that she changes out must be soaked and washed with the medicine in the prescription.ā
āAfter it is fully washed, it will be exposed to the sun. It must be exposed to strong sunlight for four hours before it is retracted.ā
After the little maidservant agreed, Mo Ruyue returned to the inner room and sat down on the edge of the bed again.
She gently lifted the sackcloth covering Liu Wangshiās body. This kind of cloth had good breathability, was light, thin, soft, and didnāt hurt the skin. It was more suitable for covering than yarn and silk, and it was also easy to clean.
Liu Wangshiās skin, which had no lesions, was very well taken care of. It was tender and smooth, and one could tell at a glance that she had been pampered by a rich family. But when she looked at the lesion on her body, he suddenly felt a tingling feeling on his scalp.
It was as if layers of scabbed hard shells were stacked together. The dark brown hard shell was scratched and bloody because of the pain and itchiness, and yellow pus oozed out, emitting a slight fishy smell.
As expected, it was a case of epidermis.
In her previous life, this was one of the ten most difficult skin diseases to cure. However, to Mo Ruyue, this was just a little tricky. It was not impossible to cure.
āMadam, your illness is indeed a little tricky, but the treatment period is a little longer, and the daily treatment methods are a little more complicated. But itās still possible to cure it.ā
