Chapter 136 The aunt is pregnant and on bed rest; the baby follows the uncle to catch bad guys.
Zhizhi's brows furrowed more and more as she listened.
"What kind of medicine makes your heart hurt more the more you take it? This is definitely not a good medicine! Auntie, stop taking it immediately! Your baby must have been harmed by this 'Shanshan'!"
Xue Tong's eyes were filled with sorrow. She hadn't expected to be bombarded with so much information, and her head was buzzing for a moment.
Was her cousin, who had always been kind to her, actually a schemer behind her back?
She slowly reached out and gently stroked her belly, as if she could feel that place was warm.
Is she really... perhaps pregnant with a life?
Deng Qiu nodded in agreement. "Zhi Zhi is right, Xue Tong. I know this might be hard for you to accept right now, but Zhi Zhi won't make hasty judgments. How about this, let's go to the military hospital for a check-up now. If it's really as Zhi Zhi said, then you'd better be careful of that Su Shanshan."
Without hesitation, Xue Tong had just finished her milk tea and hadn't even had time to compose herself when she saw the mother and daughter already wearing cotton-padded jackets and scarves, ready to go outside.
"Huh?! Are we really going?" Xue Tong lowered her eyes in disappointment, her voice trembling with fear. "What if we don't get the baby?"
She has faced countless checkups and countless times being told that there is no hope of getting pregnant again.
When people are hit hard for a long time, they become reluctant to seek medical help.
She was very worried that if she went to the hospital, the doctors there would also tell her that she couldn't have children.
How should she respond?
Deng Qiu turned her head, her calm eyes filled with determination. "Whether it is or not, we'll know once we go and see for ourselves. Your friend probably has no idea that you discovered such a big secret while you were out. You should go to the hospital to see what's going on. Xue Tong... you're kind-hearted, you can't hide it from her. If you keep such a bad person around, you won't even know if you're taken advantage of. Listen to me, I've been there."
"Yes, yes, I will always stay with my aunt, so please don't be afraid."
Looking at the kind-hearted mother and daughter, Xue Tong felt a warmth welling up in her heart for some reason.
"good... ..."

Inside the hospital
The obstetrics and gynecology ward of the military hospital is usually quiet at the end of the year, and at this moment, all doors and windows are tightly closed and the entire area is sealed off.
Only the Jiang family and Ji Yanjing and his wife were in the huge corridor.
Xue Tong's face turned deathly pale. She stared blankly at her toes, speechless for a long time.
Ji Yanjing stood ramrod straight, his deep, dark eyes fixed on the doctor's door, as if awaiting a verdict.
About ten minutes later, the attending physician came out with a report.
Who is Su Xuetong?
"Ah, it's me!"
Xuetong stood up as if by reflex and walked forward blankly.
Ji Yanjing, supporting his young wife, asked the doctor with concern, "Is my wife's health... anything serious?"
"How could you be such parents? She was fourteen weeks pregnant and you didn't even know?"
The obstetrician was a woman of about forty years old. Everyone else spoke to Ji Yanjing with great respect because of his military rank, but this doctor didn't give him any face at all and immediately launched into a tirade of reprimands.
"As the husband, you should cherish your wife. She's so weak. Has she been taking random medications? Her uterine wall is incredibly thin. She finally managed to get pregnant, and you don't even know how to care for and cherish her. So what if you're busy in the army? Your wife comes first!"
Ji Yanjing was scolded mercilessly, but instead of being angry, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"You mean... she's really pregnant."
He turned around and hugged Xue Tong tightly. Xue Tong couldn't hold back and burst into tears in his arms.
"Ah Jing, we're pregnant! We almost lost him!"
Ji Yanjing was also filled with mixed feelings, his eyes were sore, and he was almost holding back tears.
His young wife is wonderful in every way.
After calming Xue Tong down, Ji Yanjing turned to the doctor with eyes full of gratitude. "You're right, it was my oversight. Could you please give her another thorough examination? Please, we really hope we can save this child."
The doctor originally had a whole lot more to say to him.
Now, seeing how sincere he seemed, I don't know what to say.
She let out a soft snort, "Your wife is very weak. She's anemic to begin with, and I saw on the test results that she bleeds from time to time. Go pay the bill; I have something to ask her."
After sending Ji Yanjing away, the doctor turned to look at Xue Tong, his tone becoming much gentler.
"Tell me the truth, have you had an abortion before?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Tong's last bit of doubt was dispelled, and she now completely believed what Zhi Zhi had said.
It turns out that what the little one said was true; she really did have a child before.
Su Xuetong took a deep breath and told the doctor about the entire process of taking the medicine, including the examinations she had done at the Beijing hospital.
As she spoke more and more, the doctor's brow furrowed even more.
"Wait, you mean you have congenital heart disease? It's not on the report. Who told you that?"
“It was a friend of mine who works in obstetrics and gynecology in Beijing. She told me about it and even prescribed a foreign medicine for me.”
Su Xuetong thought for a moment, then took the medicine bottle out of her pocket and handed it to the doctor.
It was a dark glass bottle with a label that read lines of foreign text.
"She said this is for nourishing the heart and told me to keep taking it. Doctor, I've never had an abortion, and I didn't even know I was pregnant."
"Nonsense! This is not a foreign medicine!"
The doctor opened the medicine bottle, smelled it, and immediately his face turned grim.
She handed the report to Xuetong, then reached out and used her fingernail to peel off the outer layer of paper, revealing a line of Chinese characters underneath.
"Digitalis drugs?" The doctor was stunned. She looked at Su Xuetong in shock. "What kind of friend of yours? Why would she give you digitalis? You can die from taking too much of that stuff!"
When you mention Westlandia, almost no one knows about it.
However, digoxin is a branch of digitalis drugs, which are fast-acting cardiac stimulants in Western medicine and are generally prescribed for people with heart failure. No wonder she didn't find that Su Xuetong had heart disease on the test report.
But her heart was beating incredibly fast.
[Digoxin, that's the medicine Su Shanshan gave her.]
[Little Master, Su Shanshan is a bad person. You mustn't let her hurt Xue Tong. The baby in her belly can't be hurt anymore. She's hurting Xue Tong for Ji Er's sake!]
The voice of the woman in the space was almost inaudible with urgency.
Upon hearing the prompt, Zhizhi understood.
It turns out that it was Su Shanshan who was behind all this trouble!
The little cub walked up to his aunt and raised his fluffy little head. "Auntie, the doctor has already done the tests and made a diagnosis. You don't actually have any illness. And your last baby passed away. This hospital was able to find out. If she had studied even a little medicine, she could have found out too. But why did she tell you that it was just that your period was getting heavier and even encouraged you to take medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis? Don't you understand?"
