Chapter 87: Heaven Grants Man’s Wish (Part )
As a doctor, Ruogu is successful in being able to help patients when they need it.

Mr. Xun looked gentle and elegant. He smiled apologetically at Ruogu, then took a tissue and wiped Teacher Xi's tears while patting her back soothingly.

"My disease is not life-threatening. It will be cured if I take it slowly. Your crying will not help. You are so old and still so unstable. Aren't you afraid that Doctor Chen will laugh at you?"

Ruogu smiled and said with emotion: "You two are so affectionate, I envy you so much."

Xi Xiulan's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She said helplessly:
"This man in our family is always like this. He doesn't care about his health and is busy with national affairs all day. Doctor Chen, please take his pulse carefully to see if his condition is serious."

Ruogu thought that Teacher Xi was just joking and didn't think much about it. Mr. Xun cooperated and stretched out his wrist for Ruogu to check.

Although he didn't care about his health, he didn't dare to displease his wife, so he had to squeeze out time to come even if his official business had not been completed.

Ruogu lowered his eyes and placed his fingers on Mr. Xun's wrist to listen carefully. Xi Xiulan waited beside him, not daring to breathe. It was not until Ruogu raised his wrist that she could not wait to ask, "Doctor Chen, how is it? Is the condition serious?"

Ruogu smiled soothingly and said in a calm voice:
"Teacher Xi, please relax. Mr. Xun has a deep pulse and a pale red tongue with a thin coating. This is a syndrome of Qi and Yin deficiency, with Qi deficiency being the main symptom. It is a series of symptoms caused by spleen and kidney Qi deficiency. We just need to nourish the kidney, invigorate the spleen and replenish Qi, nourish Yin and promote diuresis, and astringe and consolidate, and we can cure it."

Xi Xiulan didn't understand those flowery words, but she heard the word "cure" clearly. She said with a sense of relief, "It's OK as long as it can be cured. I only trust you now. How do you want to treat it specifically? Do you want to use acupuncture like me?"

Ruogu shook his head and said, "Mr. Xun's illness does not require acupuncture. I will prescribe you a prescription for Shenqi Dihuang Tang. There are a few herbs in it that need to be slightly increased or decreased. Drink it for a course of treatment first."

Xi Xiulan frowned slightly and said with some worry:

"Will taking medicine be too slow to work? I think acupuncture takes less time and has quicker effects, and people can suffer less, which is much better."

Xi Xiulan had her own considerations. Xun Zhu was usually very busy with official duties, and it was normal for him not to go home for several days. Although he had a secretary, he could not be as attentive as his family. Chinese medicine required a long time to boil, which was really inconvenient.

Before Ruogu could speak, Mr. Xun said, "You just like to worry about things that are beyond your control. Doctor Chen has her own reasons for treating us. We just need to follow the doctor's advice. Why do you have to interfere?"

Xi Xiulan then realized that what she said was inappropriate, and she quickly made amends:

"Doctor Chen, don't get me wrong. I'm not questioning your treatment plan. It's just that my husband is so busy with work that he doesn't even have time to eat. It's harder than climbing to the sky to get him to take his medicine on time. I have no other choice."

Chen Ruogu is broad-minded and will not hold grudges over such trivial matters. She said in a gentle voice: "Teacher Xi, you are too serious. I just wanted to use a more soothing method to help Mr. Xun adjust his body. I did not consider his actual situation. It was also my inconsiderateness.

Do you think this will work? We still have to take the medicine. I will use a combination of acupuncture and medicine to treat it, so that you can recover faster."

Xi Xiulan raised her lips, revealing a deep gratitude. She said sincerely, "That's feasible. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble again."

Ruogu shook her head slightly and chuckled, "What's the trouble? As long as the medicine can cure the disease and you don't make a wasted trip, that's fine."

Mr. Xun looked at Ruogu with admiration. Although he didn't say much, he made a deep impression. Ruogu invited the two to the study. Acupuncture required taking off outer clothes, which would be unsightly in the living room. She always carried silver needles with her, so she didn't need to buy more.

Yu Yuan spent a lot of time in this study room, and there were many items placed inside. On one of the display cabinets, there were photos of Huai Xi from childhood to adulthood. When Xi Xiulan saw them, her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Is this your precious daughter? I heard last time that she also went to the crew, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see her."

Ruogu looked at her daughter's photo, her eyes filled with tenderness. She said softly, "It's her. I'll see her next time I have a chance. These photos were taken when she was a child. She's thirteen now, so there aren't many photos taken."

Xi Xiulan wanted to have a daughter when she was young. She said with envy:
"Your girl is so pretty. She has inherited all the good qualities from both of you. Her eyes are so bright and lively, as if they can speak. The more you look at her, the more you like her."

Ruogu took out the needle and disinfected it while smiling, "This girl looks cute, but in fact she has a cold personality and matures earlier than her peers."

Ruogu took Xi Xiulan's pulse and knew her physical condition. She had undergone a hysterectomy and probably had never given birth, so Ruogu was very careful with his words.

Xi Xiulan came from a good family. Some well-informed people knew that she liked children and tried every means to send children to her. However, she didn't see any that she liked. But when she saw Huaixi's photo, she felt very close to him for some reason.

"Next time, you must bring her to meet me. I like this girl the moment I see her."

It is a good thing to let Huaixi get in touch with outstanding female elders. Ruogu said calmly, "Of course, but she has a heavy workload and is only free during the winter and summer vacations. Do you live in Shanghai?"

Xi Xiulan shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm not sure. This time I came here mainly to accompany my husband. He has work arrangements. Next time you come to Shanghai, you can call me. I don't have many notices now, so I have a lot of free time."

Ruogu nodded slightly. When the two of them were talking, Mr. Xun was listening quietly. He only stepped forward when Ruogu called him to give acupuncture. His words and actions were like those of a modest gentleman. Ruogu did not speak when giving acupuncture. Her technique was light and delicate. When her fingertips twisted, there was really a warm current flowing into the body.

Although Mr. Xun did not speak, his eyes were full of shock. His body seemed to be repaired by an invisible force, and he felt extremely comfortable.

The treatment didn't take long, but Xun Zhu felt like he was reborn. His energy and spirit were completely different. This physical condition made him feel that he could continue to work without sleep.

After the treatment, Ruogu looked normal. This time she didn't use up too much energy. She gently reminded him, "You must take Shenqi Dihuang Decoction on time, otherwise the disease cannot be cured."

Xi Xiulan said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will make sure he takes the medicine. At worst, I can accompany him on his business trip during this period."

Mr. Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Just tell Secretary Li. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

Xi Xiulan said with a look of reproach, "I don't know you. You can forget your last name when you're busy. It's okay if I bother you a little. Your health is more important than anything else."

Mr. Xun could do nothing with her and could only let her do what she wanted.

Ruogu wrote the prescription and chatted with them for a few more minutes. Then Mr. Xun received a call and had to go back to deal with something. Ruogu then politely saw them out.

Liao Dingmin happened to come back to get some documents. The two cars passed by each other. He saw the couple in the car and suddenly realized, "I was wondering why they looked so familiar. Huai Xi is so lucky. This is really a blessing from heaven."
