Chapter 13 – Comforting Herself (2)

Yu Duo’s expression dropped immediately as soon as she saw the bowl of herbal soup, but she still needed to put up the front of trying to appear fine when she was feeling down.

Aunty Lian put the bowl of herbal soup on the table and said, “Madam, I looked up the calendar. Your period had always been on time and it should fall within these next couple of days. Why don’t you have some herbal soup?”

That reminded Yu Duo instantly, today was indeed the first day of her period.

Yu Duo’s mouth was stiffed. She forced herself to look away from the herbal soup.

She had been drinking this herbal soup for three years, of course she knew what it was.

In order to play her role properly in front of Fu Sinian, Yu Duo pulled out all the tricks to make herself seemed like a Chinese dodder. She was afraid of thunder, rain, and all sorts of bugs. Even during her period, she was like any other fragile girls. She was in so much pain that she couldn’t even get out of bed and needed her husband to hold her and rub her belly for her.

(T/N: Saying someone is like “Chinese dodder” meant they are very fragile and high maintenance.)

Thinking about her own acting in front of Fu Sinian, even she couldn’t help but shudder.

Fu Sinian hired a traditional herbalist doctor to check Yu Duo out and gave her a prescription for herbal soup that was supposedly effective at helping her body regulate and relieving the pain from periods. He had Aunty Lian made her the herbal soup every time during her periods.

Herbal soups were bitter and astringent in nature, and Yu Duo played off of that in front of Fu Sinian as well.

She said that the herbal soup was too bitter and difficult to swallow. She insisted for Fu Sinian to feed it to her, and also made him feed her candies afterward.
