Fang Peiyun was running ahead, clutching her stomach, while Zhao Lishi was chasing after her, holding a bowl of brown medicine in her hand.

"Dr. Jiang, please save my baby! Please tell my mother that this medicine can kill people."

Upon seeing Jiang Hua, Fang Peiyun felt as if she had seen a savior and quickly hid behind her.

"Peiyun, don't get so agitated, be careful of the baby in your belly." Zhao Dazhuang, who arrived late, stood beside Zhao Lishi and advised her, unwilling to take another step forward.

"Dr. Jiang."

Upon seeing Jiang Hua in front of her, Zhao Lishi looked away guiltily.

“Aunt Zhao, Peiyun’s baby is hard-won, so she can’t just eat anything.”

I checked Fang Peiyun's pulse before, and apart from malnutrition, there was nothing seriously wrong with her health. If the woman is fine after so many years of marriage, then the problem lies with the man.

Thinking this, Jiang Hua's gaze also fell on Zhao Dazhuang. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. There is a difference between a sick person and a normal person.

"Mother, you heard what Doctor Jiang said, right? I won't drink it for the sake of the baby in my belly," Fang Peiyun said firmly.

“Dazhuang, I’m only doing this for the good of Peiyun’s unborn child. Why can’t she understand my good intentions?” Zhao Li’s expression changed as she looked at her son and immediately began to cry.

"Dazhuang, there's something wrong with this medicine," Fang Peiyun reminded him. "If you don't believe me, you can have Doctor Jiang take a look."

Torn between his wife and his mother, Zhao Dazhuang was undecided and wavering. Just then, he overheard his wife's idea and thought it made sense.

“Mother, do as Peiyun said. Have Doctor Jiang examine the medicine you have so that Peiyun can be at ease and you two won’t misunderstand each other.”

Zhao Li's face darkened, but when she met her son's eyes, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and hand the medicine to Jiang Hua.

Just a few steps away, Zhao Li pretended to trip over a stone, and the bowl of medicine in her hand naturally fell to the ground.

"What bad luck! This bowl of medicine just fell to the ground." Zhao Lishi looked at the broken bowl on the ground with a regretful expression.

It seems this path is blocked. Peiyun has become suspicious. While dealing with the people in front of her, Zhao Lishi is plotting how to get her to take the medicine without her noticing and turn the child in her belly into her grandson.

We can't let a jinx without a son be born into their family.

"Peiyun".

When Zhao Li looked up again, she had put on a completely different face, her eyes red as she looked at Fang Peiyun.

"Mother was wrong. If you don't want to drink that medicine, I will never force you to drink it again."

"Really?" Fang Peiyun was overjoyed.

They were all family, and she didn't want things to escalate like this, but just as she was about to walk towards Zhao Li Shi, Jiang Hua pulled her back, reminding her in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"We must be careful in everything we do."

In any case, she couldn't see any remorse in Zhao Lishi at all; on the contrary, she only showed a fleeting look of annoyance because the medicine had been spilled.

Fang Peiyun nodded and walked towards Zhao Dazhuang. She definitely had to be careful; her mother wasn't the type to give up so easily.

"Huahua, what kind of medicine is Zhao Lishi going to give Peiyun?"

Aunt Liu, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. She asked, looking puzzled, "Did I miss something as they walked away?"

“Peiyun is still not fully recovered and is pregnant, so she can’t take medicine casually.” Jiang Hua could only offer this explanation.

"Yes, she's pregnant, so she definitely can't eat just anything," Aunt Liu changed the subject.

After chatting with Aunt Liu for a while, Jiang Hua went to the land where the factory was being built. The villagers were working hard to lay the foundation, dividing the work among themselves, while Village Chief Lu was supervising the construction.

"Miss Jiang, why did you come here so suddenly? Is there something you're not happy about?"

Jiang Hua had visited the house construction site a handful of times before, but she had come several times in the past few days, and Village Chief Lu suddenly felt a bit of pressure.

"No, I just came to take a look." Jiang Hua casually walked around, and the blue bricks were already neatly placed to one side.

"If you don't have enough money, go to my house and ask Granny Luo for some."

"Yes, we will." Village Chief Lu nodded.

Jiang Hua had started having a blacksmith make barbecue grills at the barbecue restaurant. However, on this particular day, she had just returned from town and hadn't even had a sip of tea when someone from Shifang Academy came to tell her that Jiang Jingyi had run into trouble.

Jiang Hua's heart sank, and she immediately boarded the carriage of the servant who had come to deliver the message.

When Jiang Hua saw that Jiang Jingyi only had a bruise on his face, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, clearly still thinking about what the dog system had said.

What's going on?

Jiang Hua walked in, along with Xu Yaozu in the main hall, whose face bore several scratch marks from fingernails.

"Miss Jiang, please have a seat." Dean Li gestured for Jiang Hua to sit down first.

"Ayi, what's going on?"

“Stepmother, I was the one who started it.”

Jiang Jingyi walked up to Jiang Hua, feeling somewhat annoyed. He hadn't expected the dean to have someone bring her stepmother over; he had just caused her more trouble.

"Ouch, my dear Yaozu, damn it, which little bastard scratched your face like this?"

Jiang Jingyi was about to explain when he was interrupted by the howling of Madam Xu and Madam Xu as they rushed in.

Little beast?

The teachers and dean present all frowned at Da Xu's reckless remarks.

"It was Jiang Jingyi who arrested me."

Xu Yaozu complained to Madam Xu, knowing Madam Xu's temperament, so after complaining, he subtly gave Jiang Jingyi a provocative look.

"You worthless brat, born of a mother but raised without one, who gave you the right to bully my Yaozu!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Madam Xu immediately started cursing at Jiang Jingyi, raising her hand high as if to slap him across the face.

However, Jiang Hua grabbed it as soon as she raised it, and with a forceful pull, Madam Xu couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"It was Xu Yaozu who spoke recklessly, inciting other students to bully me and attack me behind my back!" Jiang Jingyi met Jiang Hua's eyes and immediately explained the situation.

"He was jealous of the dean's high regard for me and was resentful, so he did this."

Moreover, Xu Yaozu spoke ill of his stepmother in front of him today, saying that such a large house must have been built by colluding with wealthy families in town.

Xu Yaozu could talk to him, but he couldn't say a bad word about his stepmother, and that's how the two started fighting.

"Xu Yaozu, what's going on? Is this how you studied at Fang Academy when you first came here?"

"Incite classmates to bully other students and speak ill of others behind their backs."

Upon hearing this, Li Xu looked at Xu Yaozu with some displeasure.
