"Very good!"
Lina clapped her hands happily, "Grandpa is in much better spirits now. He keeps talking about thanking Youran in person."
During the meal, the four discussed the wedding details in detail.
After the dessert was served, Renault took out a brown paper file bag from the briefcase beside him and placed it solemnly in front of Gu Youran.
"You Ran, this is the information you requested."
Renault's voice deepened. "I've compiled everything I could find about 'Bai Wuyan' in the castle archives here."
Gu Youran took the file bag and opened it.
Shi Heng put down his teacup and his eyes became focused.
"We specifically checked all the ancient books and archives. The earliest record is from 1725."
Renault pointed to a yellowed copy. "At that time, the castle was hit by the Black Death, and this 'Mr. Yun' used Eastern medicine to save many people."
Gu Youran held her breath and saw the familiar forsythia flower mark in the corner of the document.
It was exactly the same as her master's habit when prescribing medicine.
“This one is more precious.”
Renault took out another page and said, "This is the original prescription copied by the recorder at that time."
On the parchment, several lines of Chinese characters in small characters are clearly visible: three grams of Forsythia suspensa, two grams of Platycodon grandiflorum...
Gu Youran's pupils suddenly shrank.
The ups and downs of this handwriting are exactly the same as those in her treasured master's notes!
Her nails dug into her palms unconsciously, and her heart beat like a drum.
How could handwriting from three hundred years ago...
Gu Youran's fingers trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
He slowly put the information back into the file bag, looked up and forced a smile at Renault, "Thank you, this information is very important to me."
"Are you okay?" Lina looked at her pale face worriedly, "Would you like some water?"
"I'm fine." Gu Youran shook her head and carefully put the document bag into her handbag. "Maybe I'm a little tired today."
Shi Heng put his hand on the back of her hand and said, "Let's stop here today. We have a wedding rehearsal tomorrow and everyone needs to rest."
Renault nodded and stood up, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
After the four of them said goodbye, Shi Heng put his arm around Gu Youran's shoulders and walked out of the club.
The night breeze was cool, and Gu Youran unconsciously leaned into Shi Heng's arms.
"Are you cold?" Shi Heng took off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders.
Gu Youran shook his head and said nothing.
After getting in the car, Shi Heng did not start the car immediately. Instead, he turned around and held Gu Youran's hand. "Youbao, are you worried about that information?"
Gu Youran bit her lower lip. "That handwriting... is so similar, practically identical. But how is this possible? Someone who lived three hundred years ago..."
"Don't think too much about it yet."
Shi Heng gently squeezed her hand and said, "After the wedding, we will study these materials carefully. The most important thing now is our wedding, okay?"
Gu Youran nodded and forced a smile. "You're right. Maybe I'm thinking too much."
Along the way, Shi Heng occasionally found some light topics to chat about, trying to distract Gu Youran's attention.
He talked about the surprises prepared for the wedding and the arrangements for the honeymoon, and Gu Youran gradually relaxed.
After returning to the villa, Gu Youran went straight to the study.
She opened the bottom drawer of the bookcase and carefully placed the file bag inside.
Shi Heng hugged her from behind: "Would you like a cup of hot milk?"
"Okay." Gu Youran turned around and leaned against his chest. "Thank you, Ah Heng. If it weren't for you today, I might have gotten stuck in a rut."
"Silly girl, why are you saying thank you to me?" Shi Heng kissed the top of her head. "Go change your clothes. I'll go get you some hot milk."
Gu Youran nodded and walked towards the bedroom.
Shi Heng looked at her departing back, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.
He took out his phone and quickly sent a message to Sim:
[Check all medical records at Leathers Castle around 1725, especially those concerning the oriental doctor.]
After sending the message, he deleted the record and walked towards the kitchen.
No matter what, he wouldn't let anything affect their wedding.
…
The next morning.
Shi Heng gently kissed Gu Youran awake, "Youbao, it's time to get up. We have a rehearsal at nine o'clock today."
Gu Youran rubbed his eyes and suddenly felt nauseous.
She suppressed her discomfort and forced a smile, "I'll be up right away."
At 8:50 in the morning, Shi Heng's Maybach stopped at the entrance of Shi's Building on time.
Renault and Lina were already waiting in the lobby and came over to greet them when they saw them.
"You've arrived just in time!" Lina took Gu Youran's arm. "Si Wenjie and Shi Yining just arrived and are waiting for us upstairs."
The elevator went straight to the wedding venue on the 111th floor. The MC came up to greet them, "Mr. Shi, Mrs. Shi, the venue has been decorated according to your requirements."
The rehearsal officially begins at half past nine.
The three couples stood under the flower gate and practiced the ceremony step by step according to the master of ceremonies' instructions.
"The bride enters from here," the MC pointed to the end of the corridor, "The groom is waiting here..."
The rehearsals were not over until two o'clock in the afternoon.
The six of them came to the French restaurant next door.
"Are you exhausted?" Shi Heng pulled out a chair for Gu Youran and asked with concern, "You don't look well."
Gu Youran shook his head. "Maybe he's hungry."
She picked up the water glass and took a sip, suppressing another wave of nausea.
Halfway through lunch, Gu Youran stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
In the bathroom, she was washing her hands when she suddenly heard a scream from the cubicle.
I saw a pregnant woman holding onto the wall and almost slipping.
"Be careful!" Gu Youran rushed forward and supported her. "Are you okay?"
The pregnant woman smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you. I always have trouble standing during the third trimester."
Gu Youran helped her tidy up her clothes and suddenly froze.
My period this month has been delayed for more than ten days!
She subconsciously took her own pulse, and the familiar slippery feeling under her fingertips made her heart beat faster.
Back at the restaurant, Gu Youran suppressed her excitement and said, "Heng, can you take me to Kangrui Hospital? I suddenly remembered that I need to ask Uncle Xu's attending physician something."
Shi Heng immediately stood up: "Let's go now."
He turned to the others and said, "You guys continue eating, we'll go ahead."
In the car, Shi Heng held the steering wheel and said, "Has Uncle Xu's condition changed?"
"No..." Gu Youran bit her lip, her eyes sparkling, "I have other questions I want to consult a doctor."
Shi Heng looked at her thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Arriving at the hospital parking lot, Gu Youran unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "Wait for me in the car. I'll be back soon."
"You really don't need me to accompany you?"
"No need."
Shi Heng nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Gu Youran walked quickly into the hospital and went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Half an hour later, Dr. Liu handed her the examination form with a smile, "Congratulations, Dr. Gu, you are pregnant, about five weeks, and it's twins, so you need to pay special attention."
Gu Youran's fingers suddenly clenched the examination form, and her eyes instantly became moist. "Twins?"
