Capítulo 605: Chapter 597 Karma
Jiang Wenyan felt extrely awkward. Her original intention was to ask Qin Liuxi to diagnose her friend for infertility, but she did not expect Qin Liuxi to be so blunt, speaking without any hint of subtlety.
“That is… Junior Temple Master, in these big families, there is no one who does not take tonics. Even I consu cubilose every day.” After all, they could afford it.
Qin Liuxi smiled and pointed to Lv Xiaoshan, saying, “Others may benefit from tonics, but it doesn’t work for her. And she doesn’t just take them—how many tis do you consu tonics in a day, Young Madam? Would you eat tonics several tis a day?”
Jiang Wenyan was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Lv Xiaoshan, “Do you really consu them several tis a day?”
Lv Xiaoshan wanted to argue, but thinking about her usual diet, she suddenly felt a bit guilty. Normally no one noticed, but when Qin Liuxi ntioned it, it seed she did eat too much. Even for breakfast, she would have a bowl of qi-tonifying ginseng soup.
Seeing Lv Xiaoshan remaining silent, Jiang Wenyan beca anxious and pressed on, “Don’t tell the Junior Temple Master is correct?”
“I… I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. As you said, Sister Jiang, for families like ours, we’re not short of money. Who wouldn’t eat good things?” Lv Xiaoshan said with a hint of guilt. “Moreover, I want to have a child sooner with a healthier body.”
She said, touching her lower abdon.
Jiang Wenyan frowned and said, “Are you foolish? Even if we’re not short of money, tonics are not to be consud like als. Too much is as bad as too little. Don’t you know that?”
“I…”
Jiang Wenyan pulled her to sit down on the Arhat bed, took her hand, and placed it on the kang table, and told Qin Liuxi, “Junior Temple Master, please take her pulse quickly.”
Qin Liuxi: “She doesn’t believe , so my diagnosis won’t matter. However, I can confirm that even though you look rosy, your constitution is actually weak. Tonics can be consud, but if they don’t agree with you and you still insist on consuming them desperately, one day you won’t be able to withstand it, and it will backfire drastically. Because, being overly full leads to loss!”
Lv Xiaoshan pressed her lips together.
Seeing her full of disbelief, Qin Liuxi continued, “With a delicate spleen and stomach and insufficient blood, if you keep eating tonics to nourish your organs and ridians, then your blood won’t be able to support your body anymore. Excessive consumption of tonics will only add more burden to your stomach and intestines, making your constitution weaker and weaker. Once it reaches a tipping point, it will be like this cup of water.”
She filled a teacup with water from the teapot, causing the water to overflow.
“If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can assu I’m talking nonsense. But I’ll still add one more thing: if it’s your own decision to consu the tonics, that’s fine; you can be considered naive. But if soone else is making you eat them, you should start paying attention.” Qin Liuxi wore a smile.
Lv Xiaoshan felt a chill looking at her smile.
Jiang Wenyan seed to have realized sothing and asked, “Lady Shan, is it your choice to eat them, or did soone tell you to?”
Lv Xiaoshan’s heart was in turmoil.
“Hasn’t any doctor told you that your constitution doesn’t take well to tonics?” Jiang Wenyan asked with a frown.
Qin Liuxi glanced at her and said, “A competent doctor would know from taking the pulse whether a person can handle tonics or not. If they didn’t say anything, they’re either doing it on purpose or they’re a quack.”
Sothing quickly crossed Jiang Wenyan’s mind, and she said, “I rember you ntioned that your mother-in-law, when she was back in her hotown, also helped so won give birth and knew a bit about herbs. Zhang Yong is also sowhat versed in Qi Huang, able to prescribe basic dicine for colds, so when you have your period, he always pays special attention to prevent you from touching anything cold.”
Lv Xiaoshan stiffened.
The thought was utterly terrifying.
Jiang Wenyan’s face turned pale. She wanted to refute her thoughts with possibilities that maybe she was overthinking it or even that Qin Liuxi was unhappy to see her friend happy.
But what reason did Qin Liuxi have to attack Lv Xiaoshan?
It was their first eting.
After all, Qin Liuxi was a monk, and there was no precedent for provoking a woman she had just t without reason.
And Jiang Wenyan herself has deeply experienced Qin Liuxi’s dical skills. She was truly skilled because every ti she received acupuncture over the past few days, she felt a warm flow spreading to her limbs and throughout her body, as if there was warmth flowing through her ridians, which was very comfortable.
Therefore, she didn’t think Qin Liuxi would make groundless accusations about Lv Xiaoshan.
Seeing Lv Xiaoshan looking dispirited, Qin Liuxi did not say more. She stood up and told Jiang Wenyan, “I will co again tomorrow to perform acupuncture on you. I will take my leave now.”
Jiang Wenyan exclaid in disbelief, “No, you can’t just drag soone from heaven to hell and then walk away like nothing happened!”
“Are you even human?”
She wanted Qin Liuxi to stay, but Qin Liuxi shook her head, then gestured with her lips towards the direction of Lv Xiaoshan.
With no other choice, Jiang Wenyan had to suppress her impatience and said, “Then I’ll have soone fetch you tomorrow.”
Qin Liuxi nodded to acknowledge.
As she turned to leave, Lv Xiaoshan suddenly grabbed her sleeve, lifted her head, and stared intently at her with a pair of eyes, extending her wrist and asking, “Can you check for , is it possible I might be pregnant?”
Qin Liuxi did not take her pulse and simply said, “Your fate dictates that you should have children.”
Lv Xiaoshan’s eyes brightened slightly.
“Do you know the aning of Karma?”
Lv Xiaoshan’s face instantly turned pale.
Qin Liuxi spoke softly, “If you can be ruthless, you are destined to have children.”
If you can’t cut ties, your fate will not include children due to short life expectancy.
Qin Liuxi had left, having pointed out the most critical issue and tearing apart the facade of happiness. Deep down, Lv Xiaoshan understood very well whose idea it was for her daily nourishnts.
Exiting through the secondary gate, she saw Qiao Ziling chatting and laughing with a tall and gentle-mannered man.
“Your wife never leaves without having a al at my wife’s place first. Now, it’s not even noon and you’re already eager to pick her up. Can’t you bear to be separated for even a mont?”
That was Zhang Yong, the husband of Lv Xiaoshan.
A venomous snake disguised as a gentleman.
Hmm, and he even carries a burden of fate with him.
He had blood on his hands, yet his fortune was still so good; there were no vindictive souls haunting him, and there were even signs of impending success.
What kind of lousy luck is this?
Qin Liuxi paused, squinting her eyes and staring at his face, feeling more and more that his physiognomy was wrong, extrely abnormal.
He should by all ans have the look of a poor man, a lowly and unremarkable life, so how had he beco so rich and successful?
Even if he married a wealthy wife, it should only bring him temporary riches—it couldn’t last. But his aura was extrely auspicious.
There’s a ghost in this, a big ghost indeed!
A curious interest glead in Qin Liuxi’s eyes, she really wanted to delve into the ghostly secret here, but without paynt, maybe wait a bit longer?
Zhang Yong felt an inquisitive gaze on him, like the predatory stare of a ferocious beast, making him extrely uncomfortable.
Following his instincts, he looked over and saw Qin Liuxi, who actually gave him a smile.
A chill ran down Zhang Yong’s spine—what an eerie, fearso underworld smile.
“Brother Qiao, who is that?”
Zhang Yong watched as Qin Liuxi turned to leave and he felt uneasy.
Qiao Ziling took a glance, stiffened slightly but casually said, “Just a doctor, not important. Co on, let’s go to the study for tea.”
Zhang Yong’s brows furrowed—just a doctor?
