Chapter 169 How much silver do you want this time?

"Then can you see if there's anything I used incorrectly?" Cen Yan listed all the herbs used in the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that night.

The formula of this medicine is slightly different from the one that Doctor Zhou prescribed for Li.

But after hearing this, Doctor Zhou's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes! These medicines are all excellent medicines for maintaining pregnancy. However, these are quite precious herbs. Where did you get them?" Doctor Zhou was a little confused.

"I asked a friend to buy it in the county town."

Cen Yan almost forgot this. Some of the medicines in her space were extremely hard to find. "Because I was worried about the baby in my mother's belly, I asked him for help and bought these medicines. I just kept them as backup. I thought that if I didn't need them, I could sell them later. Who knows..."

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Doctor Zhou did not have any extra doubts about this. He suddenly sighed, "Alas, I am a doctor. Every time I come to your house, I can't help at all..."

"How could that be? You already helped a lot the last time you came!" Cen Yan said quickly.

"But the people of the Old Cen family did not comply. This shows that my warning is of no use at all!" Doctor Zhou said this with a bit of hatred in his tone.

"Not them." Cen Yan shook his head.

"What?" Doctor Zhou was a little confused.

"It's the eldest aunt. To be precise, the eldest aunt has been married for a long time and is no longer considered a member of the old Cen family. So if she does this, the account will not be counted against the old Cen family." Cen Yan explained.

"How could your aunt do such a thing?" Doctor Zhou looked shocked.

"I don't understand either." Cen Yan said, and then looked at Li, "Mom, am I right? You suddenly fell down, is it because of my aunt?"

"It was her. It rained before, and the sun was shining brightly today, so I wanted to go out and bask in the sun. But just as I was about to sit on the chair, she suddenly came out from the side and bumped into me. My body tilted, and I fell off the chair to the ground..."

Li recounted the situation at that time, "Anyway, your aunt kept apologizing and explaining, saying that she didn't mean to do it, she didn't expect there to be someone here, so she bumped into us."

"My eldest aunt once put croton seeds in my mother's food. My mother was worried, so she vomited for a long time after drinking just two sips. I have been on guard against her ever since then, but I didn't expect that she couldn't find a chance on weekdays, and my mother refused to eat the tea and snacks she sent. So she just took advantage of the time when I went to get the medicine today and came here directly!" Cen Yan said to Doctor Zhou who looked incredulous.

Doctor Zhou has been practicing medicine for many years and has seen all kinds of people and things...

However, this is the first time I have seen a married daughter secretly harming her own brother's wife!

He really couldn't understand this.

A married daughter cannot compete for the family property.

What's more, the second branch has the lowest status in the old Cen family. Even people outside know this.

Why did she think of harming Cen Yan's mother?

Moreover, after failing to find any chance, he actually resorted to such a crude method...

"With your aunt like this, you can't stay by your mother's side all the time. If she finds an opportunity again, your mother may not be able to withstand the third injury! Moreover, the first two times were failures. The third time, your aunt will probably use even more cruel means!" Doctor Zhou said with concern.

"I am afraid of this too, so Doctor Zhou, I have an unreasonable request and I hope you can agree to it." Upon hearing this, Cen Yan's eyes flashed and he said.

"What? Just tell me!" Doctor Zhou agreed without thinking.

"But this might go against your usual medical ethics..." Cen Yan hesitated.

"Hey, you silly child, tell me first, are you doing this to save people or to harm them?" Doctor Zhou looked at her and asked.

"Of course it's to save people! It's to save our second family!" Cen Yan replied immediately.

"That's it, isn't it? As a doctor, the most important thing I should do is to save lives. Since this thing can save lives, why should I hesitate? Naturally, I should take on the responsibility!" Doctor Zhou said immediately.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you so much! You are really my greatest benefactor!" Cen Yan's eyes lit up, and his gratitude was beyond words.

…

…

Doctor Zhou went into the second room with a sullen face, and when he came out, he looked relaxed.

His expression made the people in the Cen family relax a little.

"Doctor Zhou, how is she? Is my second brother's wife okay?" Gao was the first to come forward and asked with concern.

"Mother and child are safe." Doctor Zhou replied simply.

"Really?!" Gao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "That's great. This way, Doctor Zhou won't have to hold our whole family back..."

"Ahem!" Before she could finish, Yu quickly pulled her clothes.

Gao immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

She almost spoke out her true feelings!

After Li's mother and child were safe, what made her happiest was not that Li's mother and child were safe, but that she would not be affected in any way because of Li's accident.

"What I mean is, yes, this way our family can be reunited." Gao tried to make amends for herself, but her words were a bit inconsistent.

Doctor Zhou didn't argue with her.

Instead, he glanced at the expressions of Old Lady Cen and Cen Fang as if unintentionally.

Both of them looked as if they had heard some bad news out of the blue, and their faces were uglier than the other.

It was obvious from their behavior that they were extremely disappointed and unwilling that Li and her child were safe.

"I heard that it was Li's own carelessness this time, so let it go. But if it happens again, I will promise that I will do what I say!" Doctor Zhou said coldly.

"But Doctor Zhou, no one can watch her all the time. If she has any accident again, you can't blame us!" Gao couldn't help but say again.

"Then why can't you help look after her? Like today, it was just because Cen Yan went out, and this accident happened? I suggest that next time if Cen Yan goes out again and can't take care of Li, you sisters-in-law can help each other." Doctor Zhou suggested.

"This, this... this is not impossible." Gao and Yu both agreed reluctantly.

"Mrs. Cen, what's wrong with you? You look so bad, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take a look at you? Hey, you too, look so pale, are you sick?" Doctor Zhou pointed at Mrs. Cen and Cen Fang, and said with concern.

"No need!" Old Lady Cen immediately refused in a cold tone. She glanced sharply at Doctor Zhou and moved her lips, "Don't worry about my health! Tell me! How much money do you want this time!"
