The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 503: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (42)

Just when everyone was still in shock, Hongdou rushed forward like a gust of wind and suddenly reached out and held down Yue Niang.

Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, she easily took out a tiny cotton pad from Yue Niang's abdomen!

It turned out that all this was the result of Sister Yue Niang tipping off.

Long before Yue Niang's sister-in-law decided to tell Cao Wanning about the incident, she had already taken advantage of her unpreparedness and secretly touched Yue Niang's slightly bulging belly.

In fact, with Yue Niang's slender figure, even if she was really more than two months pregnant, it would not be so obvious.

However, since she had never experienced being a mother, her understanding of pregnant women only came from her sister-in-law's stories.

But my sister-in-law exaggerated the situation deliberately in order to exaggerate the seriousness of the situation, saying that she was already showing signs of pregnancy before she was three months pregnant.

This brought up the issue of the so-called cotton pad.

"Mrs. Yue, you are so lucky! You can even give birth to a cotton pad." Hongdou threw the thing in his hand to the ground fiercely and sneered, "Could it be that this thing caused you to have a miscarriage before?"

Yue Niang's face turned pale in an instant, and she was trembling all over, but she immediately looked at Su Weichen with pleading eyes.

When the other servants who came with Cao Wanning saw this, they began to whisper to each other.

"What a scheming woman! How dare you use such despicable means to deceive me." Su Weicheng certainly would not excuse Yue Niang at this time. "From today on, you are no longer the concubine of the Su family. Go back to your room and reflect on yourself."

He seemed to be very angry, but in fact the punishment for Yue Niang was very light.

What does it matter if she is deprived of her status as a concubine? After all, Yue Niang has always been a maid and has only been a concubine for a few months.

Cao Wanning sneered in his heart, but his face showed another expression: "Doctor Liu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Please take my master's pulse."

"Why do I need to take my pulse? I took the medicine I took yesterday very well!" Su Weichen said this, but he still obediently stretched out his left hand.

Doctor Liu watched this palace feud without any concern.

He was a good doctor and often went to wealthy families to see patients. He had seen so many secretive things like this that it was no longer surprising to him.

Doctor Liu placed his hand on Su Weichen's pulse and took it for a long time, but his brows never relaxed.

And Su Weicheng was becoming more and more nervous because of his expression, as it had only been one day since the last time he took his pulse.

"Master Su, did you sleep with a woman last night?" When Doctor Liu said this, his eyes looked at Yue Niang who was still kneeling on the ground and had no time to get up.

Su Weicheng and Yue Niang felt a little embarrassed as their private matters were revealed in front of everyone.

"Everyone, go out!" Cao Wanning hurriedly asked the servants to go out, and asked Hongdou to close the door from the outside. "Doctor Liu, there are no outsiders now, just say whatever you want to say!"

"Okay!" Doctor Liu nodded to Cao Wanning and continued to ask Su Weicheng, "Master Su, I prescribed three days' worth of medicine yesterday. According to what I told you at the time, you need to take three doses of medicine. How many doses did you take in total?"

"My master drank one dose, and I asked the servant to bring the remaining two doses over after I prepared them." Cao Wanning asked with some confusion, "Master, didn't you drink the other two bowls of medicine yesterday?"

When Su Weichen heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, as if he had no idea about the matter.

He immediately turned to look at Yue Niang who was kneeling on the ground and asked anxiously, "Since it was delivered to your room, where is the medicine now?"

Yue Niang was at a loss, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. After a long while, she came to her senses and stammered, "I... I don't know anything about the medicine."

At this time, Cao Wanning shouted towards the door: "Hongdou!" His voice was crisp and firm.

I only heard a soft response from outside the door: "Yes."

However, Hongdou did not push the door open and enter the house directly. It was obvious that there were strict rules here.

"Go to the small kitchen over there and see if the medicine we delivered earlier is there." Cao Wanning ordered calmly.

Not long after, Hongdou hurried back and reported that the two bowls of medicine were still intact on the stove in the small kitchen.

Doctor Liu shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Master Su, I explained your physical condition to you very clearly yesterday. But if you don't take it seriously, even if Hua Tuo were reborn, I'm afraid it would be difficult to bring you back to health."

After saying this, Doctor Liu did not stay any longer. After bowing to Su Weichen, he turned around and left.

Cao Wanning looked back and forth between her husband Su Weicheng and Yue Niang several times, her tone was flat and her eyes were indifferent: "Since the master has a plan in mind, then I am a villain in vain."

Ignoring Su Weichen's hesitant look, he walked out of the room.

But the step he took just now was a little staggering. Fortunately, Hongdou beside him supported Cao Wanning, and then the two of them left Yue Niang's yard.
