Upon hearing this, Jiang Rongqing frowned and looked at Jiang Mingzhi in confusion.
"Ah, that's right." He gave a somewhat forced smile and explained, "My eldest daughter has been ill for the past few years. I believe Doctor Tan is aware of this. However, Doctor Tan, please do not publicize this matter. After all, at this time...right?"
He had a suggestive look on his face and didn't ask what the problem was. He just wanted to cover it up. After all, although the Feng family was not of high status, they married wives to expand the family. If they knew that Jiang Mingzhi was in poor health, what would they do if they broke off the engagement?
Jiang Mingzhi could see through her cheap father's thoughts. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but pretended to be aggrieved on the surface, "Father, I want to know what disease I have. Please tell me clearly, doctor!"
Jiang Yuzhen was so eager for the doctor to tell her that Jiang Mingzhi had a terminal illness that she immediately urged him, "Yes, doctor, what is wrong with the young lady? We can still afford the herbs. Just tell me, don't hesitate!"
Feng's heart tightened, and she inexplicably thought of the medicines in the past.
The last time Duan's mother went to see her, she said that Jiang Mingzhi was still taking that medicine. Jiang Mingzhi must have thought that the medicine could cure her illness, but if a doctor took one look, he would be able to find out the problem. What would she do then if the doctor investigated?
If it was the previous medicine, she wouldn't be afraid of the doctor checking it, because the medicine was not used very lightly, and if they found out, the worst that could happen was that the wrong medicine was taken. But she had been very angry with Jiang Mingzhi these days, so she asked someone to add a lot of medicine. Anyone with a discerning eye would notice it, and then it wouldn't be as simple as taking the wrong medicine!
Hearing her daughter interrupting, eager to stir up trouble, she panicked. She couldn't help but take two steps forward and grab Jiang Rongqing's sleeve. She smiled uncomfortably and said calmly, "My Lord, I think we should not ask. The Feng family's betrothal gifts are right outside."
Jiang Rongqing and Feng had been married for more than ten years. He noticed that something seemed to be wrong with his wife, but when he heard this, he still agreed.
"Yes, yes, my daughter is naive. Doctor Tan, please don't pay attention to her. Now that we've checked her pulse, let's move to the front hall and talk."
"My Lord, I feel that this matter should be made clear. The Madam has always been concerned about the young lady's condition..." Qingtang stepped forward to stop Doctor Tan who was about to leave, and directly brought up the Madam.
It's that old woman from the Wang family again! Jiang Rongqing hated hearing about people related to the Wang family the most. His face darkened when he heard this. He was about to scold her, but Jiang Mingzhi got there first, "Qingtang, there are no rules, right?"
He looked as if he didn't want Qingtang to meddle in other people's business.
Jiang Yuzhen's eyes rolled. Jiang Mingzhi finally realized what was happening. Was she also afraid that the Feng family wouldn't want her?
If Jiang Mingzhi had married into the Feng family in the past, she would have had no objection. But now, even the Feng family doesn't want Jiang Mingzhi to marry into their family. She should find a country bumpkin or a poor scholar, and live a life of eating coarse food, suffering humiliation, and being tortured to death!
Jiang Yuzhen immediately became excited when she thought that the Feng family might cancel the engagement because of Jiang Mingzhi's illness.
"Eldest sister, it's not a good idea to hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. I think you should listen carefully to what Doctor Tan has to say!"
"Shut up!" Feng's head was full of lawsuits. It was like pressing a ladle in water. When she pressed one end, the other end popped up. It was really annoying!
