Chapter 731: Diabetes (2)
The servants of the Meng Family were very efficient. They hurriedly sent a message over.
The Meng Family’s Mansion was much more stylish than the Dongfang Family Mansion. When they entered the door, they have to turn several times, which made Bai Zhi dizzy. And only after walking through the delicate garden, they arrived in Madam Meng’s courtyard.
Hearing that Bai Zhi would come, Imperial Doctor Zhang, who should have left long ago, still waited in the room, while Meng Daren sat by the bed and sighed from time to time.
Deep inside, he still didn’t believe that Bai Zhi could cure his wife’s disease. Imperial Doctor Zhang said that there was no solution. His grandfather died of this disease. His brother was now waiting to die. It seems once a person got infected with this disease, only death awaits.The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he got and depressed.
Soon a servant came and reported, saying that Meng Nan came back Master Dongfang and Miss Bai Zhi.
Master Dongfang? Could it be Dongfang Mu?
Meng Daren was so surprised that he quickly got up and went outside to meet him.
Dongfang Mu never went to any courtier’s residence. This was known to every civil and military official. How glorious was it now that he came in here!
As soon as Meng Daren came out of the house, he met Dongfang Mu. He busily paid him respect and said: “Master Dongfang, I feel very honored that you visit this humble one’s house!”
Dongfang Mu immediately waved his hand: “Meng Daren doesn’t have to say these kind words. I am not here to see you. Just treat me as if I don’t exist, and just do what you should do.”Seeing that his father was embarrassed, Meng Nan hurriedly introduced Bai Zhi: “Father, this is Miss Bai Zhi.”
Bai Zhi greeted Meng Yuande: “I have long heard Meng Daren’s name, this younger generation would like to wish Meng Daren a Happy New Year!”
Meng Yuande panicked and didn’t know how to respond. He could get a red envelope for New Year’s greetings, but he was not prepared!
Dongfang Mu waved his hand again: “Oh, don’t do these empty courtesies, go in quickly. Don’t you want to save your wife? Why are you still lingering here?”
Meng Yuande hurriedly led them into the room. Imperial Doctor Zhang, who was in the room, greeted the people. Then, he simply found himself a seat in the corner of the room and drank tea. He was self-efficient and didn’t let anyone serve him. He treated himself as an invisible man.
Bai Zhi entered the room and went directly to Madam Meng’s bed. She checked her pulse first. Her pulse rate was fast. Her breathing was short. She also has a slight fever, sunken eyes, and dry yellow cheeks, which were indeed typical symptoms of diabetes.
Bai Zhi then asked the maidservant serving close Madam Meng several questions and some private questions. The maidservant knew that Madam Meng was seriously ill and didn’t care about anything else. She answered one by one. As Bai Zhi expected, she was diagnosed with diabetes.
According to the current situation, it should be type 2 diabetes, and the situation was not too bad. At least it was better than type 1 diabetes.
She immediately told the maidservant: “From now on, the madam will not eat sweets, but drink more water. Remember, let her drink more water, not tea. Only boiled water. You shouldn’t put anything else.”
The few maidservants looked at each other, thinking what kind of treatment is this? She didn’t give any medicine, what’s the use of drinking water?
Bai Zhi said: “Don’t get it wrong. This is the first step of the treatment. I will prepare the medicine myself. Remember what I said, without my permission, you must never give your madam sweets. Even if your madam wakes up and asks for sweets, you absolutely can’t give it to her.”
Meng Nan was also confused when he heard of it: “My mother likes to eat sweets. She has to eat it almost every day. She can’t eat it suddenly, why is that?”
Bai Zhi replied: “Now that your mother is like this, sweets are like poison to her. The more she eats sweets, the more she will get sick. She also better eat less sweet fruits. These days, you should ask me about her daily food, I will arrange it.”
