Since ancient times, childbirth has been a major hurdle for women.
What's more, if you don't recover well after giving birth, it may cause a variety of diseases.
In fact, a large part of the so-called confinement disease comes from insufficient rest and recuperation during pregnancy and childbirth, so that it will be difficult to recover as before for a long period of time, or even for life.
Is this because women are unwilling to take good care of their bodies?
No, quite the opposite.
No woman likes to be sick, but because of objective conditions, she can only compromise like this.
Mrs. Xia was born into a distinguished family and her husband's family's conditions were not bad, but even so, she still suffered from this disease due to childbirth. It is enough to show that the pain of childbirth is unavoidable no matter how good the conditions are and how noble the status is.
Lin Mengya has always known that her situation is an exception, so she cannot use herself as an example and ignore the problems that already exist.
Even to this day, she does not encourage women from palace families to give birth before they are ready.
Of course, in this day and age, if she advocated non-marriage and childbearing to maintain peace, people would probably regard her as a lunatic.
Therefore, she can only do her best to reduce the harm caused by childbirth to women.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xia took her hand. Lin Mengya saw that Mrs. Xia's face was not very good-looking, and thought she was worried about her condition.
So, she continued to comfort her: "Although the delay is a bit long, don't worry too much. If Madam can trust me, I will give you a prescription to adjust it, and then take care of it slowly, and you will have three to five years."
It’ll be okay.”
But in fact, Lin Mengya still felt a little regretful in her heart.
Because Mrs. Xia has passed the optimal recovery time, even if she tries her best, she may not be able to make up for it.
"Miss Huo." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xia looked at her blankly, and as soon as she spoke, there was a bit of suppressed trembling in her words.
"You mean that my heart disease can be cured long ago, and I have delayed my illness for so many years, right?"
Lin Mengya glanced at Mrs. Xia, and she realized something. After thinking for a moment, she said: "I can only say that it looks like this from the pulse. In fact, if you can take good care of yourself within a year after giving birth, your body will be fine.
Already."
"Then, can I still have another child?" Mrs. Xia's hand grasped tighter and tighter.
Lin Mengya felt a little pain, but she did not pull out, but said with a normal expression: "You should be in your early forties this year, right?"
Mother Wu quickly stepped forward, held her wife's arm, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my wife is 42 this year."
“Although it is generally difficult for women of this age to give birth,
There is indeed no other problem with your body. But I do not recommend that you give birth at an advanced age, otherwise it will hinder your lifespan."
Forty-two years old, if we were in modern times, it would be absolutely fine to have another child.
But under the current conditions, Lin Mengya does not recommend that the other party has another child, because this may put Mrs. Xia at great risk.
"Ha!" Mrs. Xia took back her hand.
She closed her eyes tightly, as if it was difficult to accept this reality.
At this time, Xia Wuyao on the side thought of the bowls of bitter medicine her mother drank when she was a child in order to have another child.
Also, because my mother couldn’t trust her father or the doctors outside, from her childhood until now, her mother had only used doctors sent from her maternal grandfather’s family.
If what Miss Huo said is true, then
In an instant, Xia Wuyao felt that the world in his eyes was falling apart.
Isn't mother the eldest daughter whom grandfather and grandmother love most?
Even in the past few years when she went to live with her maternal grandfather, her grandfather and grandmother were particularly fond of her. Even her cousins were jealous of her and even thought she was more like the Ye family than they were.
If that's the case, then why do they plot against their mother?
No! It must not be like this!
Or maybe, maybe those doctors were not good at academics, so they delayed the mother's health?
Xia Wuyao's eyes turned red unconsciously, and she realized for the first time that her mother, who seemed to be powerful, was actually the most isolated and helpless one.
Lin Mengya didn't know what she said, but it destroyed the illusion that the mother and daughter had been deceived for nearly twenty years.
In fact, with Mrs. Xia's intelligence, she has been able to control the Xia family for so many years and forced Chairman Xia to take dangerous measures to save his concubine and children. How could she not notice anything unusual?
It's just because she always has feelings for her parents' family and has a little more trust in them.
If she really didn't realize it at all, then when Lin Mengya explained the situation, she should have mercilessly rebuked him for talking nonsense and daring to sow discord between her and her mother's family.
"Mother!" Xia Wuyao burst into tears and threw herself into her mother's arms.
At this moment, this little girl who was put in the palm of her mother's hand and pampered and protected was forced to learn to grow up.
Just because she no longer wants to hide behind her mother, she also wants to protect her mother.
Forest
Mengya sighed in her heart, and then quietly exited the meditation room.
When Wu's mother saw this, she also followed him out, but this time her attitude towards Lin Mengya completely changed.
If she, a loyal servant, was only half-doubtful about Lin Mengya before, now, she chooses to believe in her judgment.
As the most considerate and considerate attendant who has taken care of the mother and daughter for the longest time, she had no doubts.
Obviously when she was in the boudoir, Madam's body was still strong, but after giving birth to the young lady, she suffered from heart disease and her body was not as good as before. No matter how hard she tried, she never got pregnant again.
She had always thought that it was the white-eyed wolf master who wanted to harm his wife, or the concubines who were eyeing her.
Who would have thought that the knife that really stabbed Madam’s heart came from her closest and most trusted family?
"Mother Wu, I want to check Miss Xueshu's body again. Can you make it easier for me?" Lin Mengya asked.
After hearing Mrs. Xia's motive for coming to the monastery, she always felt that something was not right. .??.
If Mrs. Xia's suspicions are correct, then Qinglian Temple must be hiding some unknown secrets.
The fake family members who came to the door specially, the beautiful girl who disappeared for no reason, and the strange behavior in the Zen room where Miss Xueshu lived alone during her lifetime have always pointed to a very terrible thing.
But to catch a thief, you need to catch the stolen goods.
Miss Xueshu's death is the only evidence they currently have.
Therefore, she wanted to find a breakthrough in Miss Xueshu.
Mother Wu nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Lin Mengya: "Here, after you left before, Madam ordered us to carry Miss Xueshu's body to the room first."
It was not carried in before because the incident happened suddenly and Xueshu's death was not honorable enough, so Mrs. Xia had the body parked in the yard.
But later, when she learned that Xueshu might have been framed, Mrs. Xia had people carry her into the room, in order to give the deceased some dignity.
This is the most helpless reality.
Although Miss Xueshu was an innocent victim, from a secular perspective, "she" was despised by the world because she did not die "honourably" enough.
"The body is inside." Mother Wu took her outside a small meditation room with no intention of going in.
In her opinion, dead people are unlucky after all, and since she is old, she naturally does not want to be contaminated.
Lin Mengya nodded and was about to push the door open, but Mother Wu held her back. She also took out a piece of red cloth from her sleeve and stuffed it into her.
"Miss Huo, I know you must be different from ordinary people, but, women should be less involved in this kind of thing."
Facing the concern on Mother Wu's face, Lin Mengya just nodded and accepted the red cloth.
When she faced the tragic death of Xueshu's body again, her heart sank.
She wants to know what kind of torture Miss Xueshu suffered during her lifetime, and she wants to find out the murderer who used such cruel methods to kill Miss Xueshu!
I don't know how much time passed, but by the time Lin Mengya was awakened from her thoughts by the knock on the door, the sky outside had already darkened.
She rubbed her sore shoulders and covered the body again before going to open the door.
Unexpectedly, it was Xia Wuyao with big swollen eyes.
"Miss Huo, I'm here to help you."
But before Lin Mengya could answer, she squeezed directly into the room.
Looking at Xia Wuyao's straight back, Lin Mengya could also understand the complexity of Xia Wuyao's heart.
Probably, this is the pain of growing up!
"Have you discovered anything new?" Xia Wuyao tried hard to hold back the tears in her words, but she still couldn't help but let it out.
There was nothing she could do, she just held her mother and cried too hard.
Moreover, the mother and daughter finally had a disagreement over one thing. But today, she didn't want to quarrel with her mother, so she used the excuse of visiting Miss Huo to escape.
Lin Mengya didn't ask her what happened, she just whispered her findings to Xia Wuyao.
"Others are similar to what we found before, but one thing is that I found that the direction of her wounds was not right. Some of the wounds on her body seemed to be scratched by herself, but her nails were flat, but I also checked
It looks like it was newly cut by myself."
"What? She scratched it herself? Then why did she hurt herself?"
Xia Wuyao's red and swollen eyes widened, and his attention was suddenly diverted.
Lin Mengya was actually puzzled.
Being able to hurt herself and cut off her own nails to destroy evidence shows that Miss Xueshu doesn't want people to find out that she hurt herself.
But why would she do this?
And could the reason why she hurt herself be related to the cause of her own death?
Just when Lin Mengya and Xia Wuyao fell into silence, they suddenly heard a bell ringing outside.
"This is the bell for the evening classes in the monastery." Xia Wuyao explained: "At this time every day, all the masters in the monastery have to go back to their rooms to do the evening classes."
