Chapter 336: The Secret That Cannot Be Hidden

Xu Damao hurriedly stopped Lou Xiao'e and told her the precautions for decocting the medicine.

So mysterious?

"Really? Fake? How have I never heard of this before?"

She felt something was off.

Xu Damao brought the medicine over and set it down.

"I'll handle this myself; you can't even cook rice properly, don't ruin my medicine again."

"One hundred sixty, that's expensive."

"There are many strange things in Chinese medicine; do you know what human middle yellow is?"

"You don't know, have you heard of night-light cinnabar?"

"I won't tell you these, for fear you'll lose your appetite."

"Chinese medicine is profound and vast; there are too many things that can be used as medicine."

"Don't speculate wildly; it shows you lack experience."

The pleased Xu Damao, feeling a bit puffed up, also retorted with a few remarks to Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e, after his lecture, lost confidence and thought maybe Chinese medicine is just like that.

Xu Damao was busy at home, while Lou Xiao'e ran to Yang Qing's place to ask Chen Hong about rootless water.

Chen Hong, coming from the countryside, knows many strange things.

"I've heard of this, but I don't know the specifics."

Lou Xiao'e asked again.

"Then do you know what human middle yellow is?"

Yang Qing burst out laughing upon hearing that.

Chen Hong turned her head and glared at him.

"What are you laughing at? Do you know what human middle yellow is?"

Yang Qing, holding back his laughter, nodded?

"Are you sure you want to hear?"

The two of them looked at him.

"Hurry up and say it."

Yang Qing struggled to hold it in.

"Human middle yellow is the stuff from the toilet."

"Ah……"

Both of them were startled.

They really didn't know this obscure fact.

Who normally studies this stuff?

Afterwards, the two felt a wave of nausea.

Yang Qing didn't show too much nausea, because human middle yellow can be considered a major achievement in Chinese medicine.

Moreover, because of research on this, we mastered early on how to treat intestinal flora imbalance.

This disease has always been a difficult miscellaneous ailment; only in the new century did Western medicine learn from Chinese medicine to grasp the treatment.

"Nauseous, deathly nauseous."

Lou Xiao'e dry-heaved for a while before recovering.

Chen Hong wasn't much better either; she was also full of resentment.

"Are you deliberately making us nauseous?"

Yang Qing hurriedly waved his hands.

"How could that be? You insisted I say it."

Lou Xiao'e had mostly recovered.

"You mean Xu Damao's medicine is fine?"

Yang Qing shook his head.

"I don't know; there are countless strange prescriptions in Chinese medicine—who knows which are true and which false?"

"Just like not acclimating to the local water and soil; if you drink water mixed with your hometown's soil, you'll be fine."

"Who can we reason with about this?"

But he knew in his heart that the medicine was probably fake; Xu Damao's body, as TV said, is doomed to have no heirs, and countless novels say he was rendered impotent.

This is essentially an incurable disease, fundamentally untreatable.

Nobody can create something from nothing.

Unless someone possesses the ability to trigger a second bodily development.

After hearing Yang Qing's words, Lou Xiao'e felt she could try treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

After all, both of them are fine; they could naturally conceive, maybe just eating would bring it about.

The next day, Xu Damao took leave and stayed home to decoct and take the medicine.

The medicine really works; after taking it, his whole body feels warm.

Even little Mao Mao feels much more spirited.

Just as Xu Damao happily drank his medicine, the people in the courtyard had gossip to share.

"Turns out Xu Damao has a problem."

"I've seen Xu Damao taking his medicine."

Lou Xiao'e, how pitiful, she married a eunuch at such a young age.

………

Of course they couldn't say these things to their faces; they were just gossiping behind backs.

Moreover, Xu Damao and his wife have had no children for a long time, and people in the compound have long suspected.

Now there's just evidence.

There are no walls that don't let the wind through; Lou Xiao'e soon found out.

She is also someone who can't hold back; she immediately argued with others, saying they were both fine, that they'd been checked at the hospital, and that Xu Damao had obtained the fertility medicine.

"Xu Damao has no problem? Then why is he taking medicine?"

"I always thought having children meant women taking medicine; I didn't know men could take it too."

Everyone spoke in sarcastic tones.

"Xu Damao is really good to you, taking all the bitterness himself."

The women's teasing tone made Lou Xiao'e also start to doubt.

Yeah, having children isn't something women take medicine for?

How can men take it?

Is there medicine for men to take?

She thought, she felt something was off.

Is Xu Damao hiding something from me?

That night, Lou Xiao'e caught Xu Damao and questioned him.

She glared, pouting.

"Xu Damao, today I heard people in the compound say that fertility medicine is usually taken by women."

"Your medicine, how can a man take it?"

Xu Damao panicked instantly—had he been exposed? Had he been careless? Fertility medicine is usually taken by women.

(At that time, it was women who took it; many healthy women, in order to have children, took medicine and ruined their bodies.)

But clever as Xu Damao, he instantly came up with an excuse.

"You didn't look at the prescription; this medicine is for having sons, so it must be taken by men."

"Haven't you studied biology? Whether a child is male or female is determined by the man."

"I'm doing this to increase the chances of having a son, so no one will say you can't bear a son."

"This is a one-step solution, for your own good."

"This medicine is very bitter; if you don't mind the bitterness, I'll get you a dose too."

Xu Damao spoke sincerely, and Lou Xiao'e believed him again.

Moreover, Xu Damao said it was for her good, and she felt a little moved.

"I don't need it; the doctor said my health is fine, no need to supplement."

"On the contrary, you're a bit deficient; you should supplement more."

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief; he'd finally gotten past it.

But the matter still made him seethe with anger.

All this humiliation was brought upon him by He Yuzhu.

He wanted revenge; if he didn't take revenge, he felt he couldn't bear it.

Through observation during this period, he thought Yan Jie Cheng should have sensed something was wrong.

He alone couldn't beat Sha Zhu; he needed an accomplice.

After eating, he went to find Yan Jie Cheng.

The two of them smoked as they left the compound gate, all the way to Shichahai.

The weather was already very cold; there was hardly anyone here.

Xu Damao spoke first.

"Jiecheng, you've gone to the hospital for a checkup, right?"

Yan Jie Cheng's heart jolted; he hurriedly denied.

"Go to the hospital? Check what?"

He's practically a eunuch; he already knew—did he have to go back to the hospital to suffer another humiliation?

"You don't need to deny."

Xu Damao interrupted his denial.

"He Yuzhu has kicked you several times, hard; I know all about it."

"To be honest, we're pretty much the same."

Yan Jie Cheng's eyes widened.

As it turned out, Xu Damao really was pretty much the same as him.

The secret he'd kept bottled up was exposed; his hatred for Sha Zhu surged, and he slammed a fierce punch into the nearby willow tree.

"I hate, I hate."

Xu Damao also clenched his fists.

"I also hate; I wish I could kill him."

"But our real enemy is Yi Zhonghai, so we can't go all-out against He Yuzhu."

"That would only benefit Yi Zhonghai."
