Chapter 23 Pregnancy



At this time, Cui Mingzhu's eyes were already very red, and two lines of tears immediately flowed down.

She looked at Cui Jin and cried, "Aunt, if this hand gets a scar, won't it be ugly?"

Seeing Cui Jin remained silent, Cui Mingzhu looked at the court doctor beside her and continued to ask, "Will talking leave scars?"

The court doctor didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Hearing this, Cui Mingzhu's eyes became even redder, and she was about to burst into tears.

Cui Jin quickly comforted her, "Zhu'er, don't worry, Auntie will definitely find a good ointment that won't leave scars on your hands!"

"Really? Auntie..."

Cui Jin hesitated for a moment, but nodded. "Really? When has my aunt ever lied to you?"

Next, the court doctor treated Cui Mingzhu's wound.

Cui Mingzhu screamed in pain, tears and snot all over her face.

Cui Jin stood aside, feeling very uncomfortable, and turned her back to wipe away her tears.

However, in Cui Mingzhu's view, her distressed look was just a pretense.

If Cui Jin really cared about her that much, he should punish Shen Ningyuan instead of pretending here!

Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu secretly owed Cui Jin a debt.

Sure enough, if they are not biological children, they are different!

A quarter of an hour later, the court doctor had finished treating the wound.

At this time, Cui Mingzhu almost lost half his life.

I was sweating all over, and even my back was soaked.

The four injured fingers were tightly wrapped in gauze, looking like four meat dumplings.

After doing all this, the court doctor gave a few instructions such as not to let the wound come into contact with water, then got up and left the yard.

When Cui Jin saw the court doctor leaving, he looked at Cui Mingzhu hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He was worried that Cui Mingzhu's injuries were serious and the court doctor didn't dare to tell her directly, so he deliberately winked at her.

After thinking for a moment, Cui Jin was still worried, so he turned around and said a few words to Cui Mingzhu, then followed her out of the yard.

When he walked through the corridor of the front hall and came to the courtyard of the front hall, Cui Jin saw that there was no one around, so he called out to the court doctor.

"Madam? Why did you follow me out?"

The court doctor stopped and turned to look at Cui Jin.

Cui Jin walked up to the court physician and immediately asked nervously, "Sir, when you left just now, I saw you were hesitant to speak. Is it because my niece's injuries are too serious and incurable that you dare not speak directly to her face?"

Hearing this, the court doctor shook his head and said, "Madam, don't worry. There's nothing wrong with my cousin's hand. She will recover after a period of rest. But her stomach..."

"What's wrong with her stomach?" Cui Jin asked nervously without waiting for the court doctor to finish speaking.

The court doctor gave Cui Jin a strange look and asked, "Madam, don't you think that my cousin's belly is a little unusually large?"

The court doctor put it more tactfully.

"What?"

Cui Jin's expression changed instantly.

Although the court doctor spoke very cryptically, Cui Jin still understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

Without even thinking, he denied it directly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Zhu'er has been raised in the Shen family. She has always been well-behaved and has never done anything out of the ordinary. How could she be pregnant? Doctor, you must be mistaken!"

Hearing this, the court doctor didn't know what to say.

But when I was leaving, I couldn't help but remind him.

"Madam, I'm not sure if this speculation is true, but my cousin's belly is indeed unusually large... Just in case, you should find an opportunity to let me take my cousin's pulse!"

Cui Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Okay, while Mingzhu's wound is being dressed, take her pulse and confirm whether she's... pregnant or not."

As he spoke, Cui Jin looked at the court physician and his expression became very serious.

Cui Jin reminded: "We can't reveal a single word of our conversation just now to anyone else, understand?"

The court doctor nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Madam, I will keep this a secret!"

After the court physician left the general's residence, Cui Jin's expression became more serious.

After what happened today.

She has always felt uneasy in her heart.

But what she cares about most at the moment is Shen Ningyuan.

She knew how much Shen Ningyuan loved Ji Yunchuan, and was worried that she would really lose her mind and commit suicide for Ji Yunchuan.

Thinking of this, Cui Jin sighed softly.

She murmured, "Yuan'er, you must be more determined and stop risking your life for a man!"

-

On the other side, Shen Ningyuan had just sent Song Yaner away.

Just as I was about to go back to my room, I suddenly sneezed.

The sneeze made her head feel a little dizzy, and her sleepiness disappeared immediately.

"Miss, are you okay?"

The round-faced little maid who had been looked at twice by Shen Ningyuan just now heard the sound of her sneezing and immediately came over with concern.

"Miss, did you catch a cold while bathing just now?"

As she spoke, the round-faced little maid came up and touched her forehead without waiting for Shen Ningyuan to speak.

"Hmm? No fever..."

The round-faced maid looked at Shen Ningyuan nervously, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

There was a series of questions, so Shen Ningyuan didn't know which one to answer first.

She looked at the little maid in front of her and suddenly realized a fact: she didn't have a suitable maid by her side.

If she had trained a few more loyal maids in her previous life, the Ji family would not have harmed her so badly.

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan restrained her expression and said softly, "I'm fine...come with me to the room."
