Chapter 398 I Won’t Lie

Doctor Zhou looked at him suspiciously and sat back down. "Extend your hand so I can feel your pulse."

Everyone present was a little embarrassed. The paleness on Aunt Jiang's face turned into a blush, and she didn't know how to talk about this for a moment.

Ye Mingzhu wanted to escape from the spot. These were all elders, and no matter what happened, it was not something she, a junior, could get involved in.

Doctor Zhou patted the table stubbornly and said, "Sit down and I'll take your pulse."

Uncle Yan glanced at Aunt Jiang before sitting down, holding out his hand and saying, "Uncle Fifteen, I'm really fine. I just think it doesn't matter whether I have a child or not."

After he said that, he looked at Ye Mingzhu again.

Ye Mingzhu immediately said, "I'll go see if Yunniang has boiled the water."

Doctor Zhou waited until she left before letting go of his hand. "You have some hidden injuries, but they won't affect your ability to have a child."

Aunt Jiang twisted her hands together, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Uncle Yan gave her a soothing look and said to Doctor Zhou, "Uncle Fifteen, I don't want to have children. Please prescribe some medicine for me."

This was the first time Dr. Zhou had met such a man. He looked at Aunt Jiang and said, "Xiao Wu, do you know he doesn't want children?"

Aunt Jiang opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Uncle Yan snatched it away: "Uncle Fifteen, don't ask her, she already has Hongyu."

Doctor Zhou's expression shifted between the two of them with a hint of amusement.

He could see that neither of them wanted children. Could there be something wrong with Xiaowu's body?

But he couldn't say it in front of Yan Hao, so he could only wait until Yan Hao left.

"Well, not wanting a child is no big deal. I'll prescribe some medicine for you in a few days. Just roll it into pills and take them on time."

Uncle Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Fifteen."

Doctor Zhou nodded and glanced at Aunt Jiang from the corner of his eye. She also looked relieved. His eyes darkened and he stood up calmly.

Uncle Yan and Aunt Jiang immediately followed and walked him out the door.

The two of them watched Doctor Zhou enter the next door, and Uncle Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've already put away all the furniture over there. Go see if there's anything else I can add tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I want to buy another room for servants. Would you mind going with me to buy them?"

Aunt Jiang gave him a reproachful look and said, "You can handle these matters on your own."

Uncle Yan shook his head: "These things all require your approval."

A home belongs to two people. No matter whether Aunt Jiang will live there permanently in the future, whether it is the house or the servants, Aunt Jiang must feel comfortable.

After so many years, Aunt Jiang has long forgotten what it feels like to be held in someone's palm and cared for.

At Uncle Yan's repeated request, she agreed to go and see the house tomorrow and then buy someone.

The two of them exchanged a few more words and went back to the new house to get busy. Aunt Jiang turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Before they reached the inner courtyard, Yunniang came from behind, followed by Doctor Zhou.

Aunt Jiang felt a little guilty when she saw Doctor Zhou, and her calves were cramping. She reluctantly led Doctor Zhou back to the hall and let Yunniang go down.

"Tell me, why don't you want children?" Doctor Zhou asked softly, almost making Aunt Jiang fall down.

"Just now, Yan Hao, didn't you say it? We have Hongyu." Aunt Jiang stuttered.

Doctor Zhou looked at her and said, "Xiao Wu, after all these years, you still can't lie."

Aunt Jiang lowered her head and said nothing.

"Sit down, I'll take your pulse. Have you been tortured hard over the years? My medical skills are pretty good. At the very least, I can help you recuperate." Doctor Zhou pointed to the chair next to him and spoke, but Aunt Jiang didn't move.

"Uncle Fifteen, it's actually good not to have children. Hongyu is very filial."

Doctor Zhou was so angry that he wanted to slam the table again: "Am I worried that you won't have children? I'm worried about your health."

Aunt Jiang refused to let Dr. Zhou take her pulse, saying that she was fine.

Doctor Zhou frowned at her and said, "Xiao Wu, are you alienated from Uncle Fifteen?"

Aunt Jiang's tears flowed. She lived in her hometown for two years when she was a child and had a good relationship with her Uncle Fifteen, but she really couldn't let her Uncle Fifteen see her health.

If her uncle Fifteen were to notice something wrong with her body, it would be equivalent to exposing Jiang Hongyu's life experience. This would also involve her half-sister's reputation after her death. In any case, her actual physical condition could not be exposed.

"Uncle Fifteen, I'm a doctor myself. If there was a problem, I would have treated it long ago. I'm really fine. Yan Hao and I just don't want children."

Aunt Jiang had a wry smile on her face: "Besides, at my age, I'd rather not have children. If Mingzhu gets pregnant in the next two years, it will be embarrassing."

"With our Zhou family's medical skills, can't we save a child?" Doctor Zhou said with a stern face.

Aunt Jiang was dumbfounded. She couldn't find any excuse, so she could only lower her head.

Doctor Zhou saw that Aunt Jiang had some unspeakable difficulties. He thought about it and finally gave up asking.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years and were no longer the uncle and nephew who had similar personalities.

The current Aunt Jiang, after experiencing exile and having to live alone with her child, is no longer the cheerful and innocent Xiaowu of the Zhou family.

"If you have anything, you can come find me next door. I will probably stay here for a few months." Doctor Zhou pulled the corner of his mouth, sighed silently, and stood up.

Aunt Jiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Fifteen, I'll take you there."

Doctor Zhou wanted to sigh again, but he held it back.

"Mrs. Jiang's condition is not very good. If you are busy, you don't need to go."

Aunt Jiang asked worriedly, "Uncle Fifteen, can you save Lin Dongjia's pregnancy?"

Doctor Zhou glared at her and said, "What if I can't save the baby?"

Aunt Jiang frowned, pursed her lips, and tried hard to think of a solution.

"Leave this matter to me. You will find a solution. You don't have to worry about it." Doctor Zhou looked at her with a funny look.

She doesn't seem to have made any progress. She was like this when she was a child, panicking whenever she encountered a problem.

"Your fifteenth uncle is now a famous gynecologist. If I can't save her, I'm afraid no one else can." Doctor Zhou looked proud.

Aunt Jiang's eyes were full of admiration: "Uncle Fifteen's medical skills have always been excellent."

Although Doctor Zhou was proud, he still felt a little embarrassed when being looked at like that by the younger generation.

"By the way, don't tell others about our relationship to avoid causing you trouble." Doctor Zhou reminded Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang thought it was because of her identity, and nodded immediately: "I won't affect Uncle Fifteen."

Doctor Zhou: ...I’m afraid of affecting you.

Aunt Jiang watched Doctor Zhou leave, and she felt completely relieved and happy at the same time. This meant that when she got married this time, her family would also be there to see her off, which was great.

At the Lin residence, as soon as Doctor Zhou stepped over the threshold, he saw that the wet nurse seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Doctor Zhou, my daughter has woken up. Please go and see her."

Doctor Zhou nodded, and the nurse said again: "Doctor Zhou, if you go next door again, it's best to bring a little maid with you."
