Shen Yiru said gently, "You need not be uneasy. I am a doctor. A qualified doctor does not look down upon their patients; no matter how unbearable the ailment, I will do my best to find a way to treat it."
Madam Qiu turned to look at her daughter, who nodded back repeatedly, her eyes full of pleading. Madam Qiu could no longer hesitate. She had a filial and sensible daughter, and she had encountered a kind-hearted doctor like Eldest Miss Shen; it could be considered a blessing from heaven. She had married the wrong man, which had plunged her into endless suffering. This time, if she could escape the jaws of death, even if it meant shedding a layer of skin, she would divorce Chen Laojiu. Afterward, she would live with her daughter and properly repay Eldest Miss Shen for saving her life.
She reached out to pull down her undergarments. Seeing her mother begin to cooperate, Lan'er was overjoyed and stepped forward to assist. Shen Yiru examined the lesions in Madam Qiu’s private area with a calm expression. Madam Qiu’s lower body was covered in many blisters, several of which had already ulcerated and turned purulent. That was why it emitted such an unpleasant odor. To eliminate such foul smells, cleaning with plain water alone would never be sufficient.
