Cao Ruwan helped Yuan Xiqing to a side room. After exchanging greetings, Doctor Du took her pulse. After a moment, his expression gradually became serious.

"doctor……"

After saying those two words, Yuan Xiqing fell silent.

Doctor Du was a shrewd man. Seeing Cao Xinqian's worried expression and Ji Meiniang and Cao Xiangwan's indifferent attitude, he sighed, stood up, and bowed, saying, "Madam, you are pregnant."

"What?"

The person who was most surprised was Cao Ruwan.

This is interesting. She's just pregnant, yet Yuan Xiqing has kept it a secret even from her own daughter.

In her previous life, this child was never born. After Yuan Xiqing entered the manor, she behaved herself well until she met Ji Meiniang, and then she lost the child.

The original owner of this body did not witness what happened, and Ji Meiniang also stated that she did nothing, treating Yuan Xiqing as if she didn't exist, ignoring her completely. Even so, Cao Xinqian still pinned the blame on her. With the time, place, and witnesses all there, Ji Meiniang had no way to defend herself.

Yuan Xiqing secured her position in the Cao family by sacrificing a child's life. Therefore, it would be perfectly logical for her to later orchestrate Cao Xinqian's decision to divorce Ji Meiniang.

Doctor Du looked up, glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiang Wan. Xiang Wan blinked and smiled at him.

Doctor Du silently withdrew his gaze, instantly understanding the deeper meaning behind the young lady's message. The child was still young, and it was normal for the pregnancy diagnosis to be slightly inaccurate. Therefore, he cleared his throat and said to Yuan Xiqing, "The child is less than three months along. I hope Madam will avoid strenuous exercise as much as possible, eat more light meals, and maintain a cheerful mood. I will prescribe a prescription for pregnancy maintenance; please be sure to decoct and take it on time."
