Su Xiaoxiao had already experienced this in Baihua Palace.
But what she never expected was that a Jade Pavilion owned by a lady like her could be so luxurious.
Not to mention anything else, the luminous pearls casually inlaid on the porch alone are bigger than pigeon eggs.
Is it that Madam Ru is too favored, or is it that the city lord Xiahou Qing is too rich?
The steward often escorted people to the door and did not allow them to go in.
The one who came out to greet Nie Jinfeng and Su Xiaoxiao was Mrs. Ru's personal maid Cai Lian.
Su Xiaoxiao saw her on the street yesterday.
She was slapped by Ling Yun, and there were still finger marks on her face that had not completely faded.
She no longer had the arrogance she had outside, and was humble and polite: "Granny Nie, please come in."
Su Xiaoxiao: Tsk, if I hadn’t seen your true face, I would have believed it.
Granny Nie took Su Xiaoxiao inside.
Su Xiaoxiao had been sitting in the carriage yesterday. Cai Lian didn't see her, but she was quite surprised to see her coming over with a bulging belly.
Manager Chang said, "She is the female doctor of the Nie family."
When she heard that it was the female doctor of the Nie family, Cai Lian smiled at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Sister, please come in."
The two of them walked around the screen and came to Mrs. Ru's bed.
A tall man with a stern face sat beside Mrs. Ru's bed.
Nie Jinfeng called out to the city lord.
The city lord nodded: "Granny Nie, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Nie Jinfeng said, "There is no need to exchange pleasantries. Please wait outside while I take a look at the patient."
The city lord glanced at Su Xiaoxiao behind Nie Jinfeng.
Nie Jinfeng said: "She is my female doctor."
The city lord said nothing more and got up and left.
Su Xiaoxiao looked straight ahead, but in her mind she was recalling the city lord's appearance.
Those deep eyebrows and eyes do look a bit like someone else.
Mrs. Ru was too weak and just fell asleep.
When Nie Jinfeng was taking her pulse, she was suddenly awakened again.
There was a flash of fear in her eyes.
Cai Lian stood at the head of the bed, leaned over and whispered, "Madam, this is Granny Nie, and next to her is the female doctor of the Nie family."
Mrs. Ru's attitude was also completely different from what it was yesterday in the carriage.
She looked virtuous and gentle: "I woke up suddenly and didn't recognize you at first."
Nie Jinfeng sat on a wooden stool, her fingers on her pulse: "Don't talk yet, let me feel your pulse, and then I'll ask you."
Mrs. Ru was embarrassed: "Okay."
Nie Jinfeng carefully took Madam Ru's pulse.
Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask Cai Lian: "Excuse me, why did Madam have a miscarriage?"
Cai Lian thought that it was Granny Nie who asked the female doctor to ask, so she answered in a gentle voice, "Madam was upset during the day, and she had a miscarriage when she came back, but it was not serious at the time, so I didn't take it too seriously. Who would have thought that she would not be well at night."
Nie Jinfeng asked, "What's the matter with the wound on the palm?"
Madam Ru looked at the hand whose pulse was being felt, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Cai Lian said, "Madam... fell down."
He fell down but wanted to blame it on Baihua Palace. Fortunately I asked, otherwise Baihua Palace would have been blamed for no reason.
Cai Lian never mentioned the matter of the big bird because the second young master had taken the initiative to apologize to the city lord, saying that the parrot he raised was preyed upon by a bird of prey and mistakenly entered Madam Ru's yard, causing Madam Ru to be injured by the bird of prey.
If his wife's fetus is in trouble, he is willing to die as an atonement.
Having said that, it would be unreasonable for Madam Ru to continue to nag the Second Young Master.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know about this, but she sensed that the two wanted to blame it on Baihua Palace.
She said in a gentle tone, "I've heard that Madam Ru is magnanimous and will not argue with others. Besides, anger is harmful to the body. How could Madam Ru disregard the safety of herself and the fetus for such a small matter? In my opinion, Madam Ru's miscarriage was caused by the fall, right, mother-in-law?"
Granny Nie hummed matter-of-factly.
Cai Lian frowned embarrassedly.
Madam Ru picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tip of her nose.
Granny Nie withdrew her hand and touched Madam Ru's belly to determine the fetal position and whether the fetus had entered the pelvis.
She then asked about Mrs. Ru’s specific symptoms and meals.
Su Xiaoxiao took the charcoal pencil and wrote the last stroke on the booklet, saying, "I've written it down!"
Granny Nie's expression remained unchanged as she raised her hand to open the medicine box.
Su Xiaoxiao handed over a row of silver needles.
Granny Nie took it calmly.
After giving Mrs. Ru an injection, Su Xiaoxiao quickly handed over the pregnancy-preserving pills from Granny Nie's medicine box.
Granny Nie glanced at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "How is it? I am a good doctor, right?" Granny Nie gave the pregnancy-preserving pill to Madam Ru: "This pregnancy-preserving pill can last up to seven days."
Mrs. Ru's face changed: "What do you mean by that?"
Granny Nie said, "In seven days, you will give birth."
Madam Ru widened her eyes and said, "But the fetus is not yet full-term!"
Granny Nie said calmly, "Since you knew the baby was premature, why didn't you be more careful?"
Madam Ru choked.
Cai Lian also regretted it to death.
If she had known that catching a bird would cause such trouble, she said she would never touch the bird!
She should have just shooed the bird out and closed the window! "Ma'am..."
She looked at Mrs. Ru with sobs in her eyes.
Madam Ru's face turned pale: "Grandma Nie, are you sure you can keep it for seven days?"
Granny Nie said, "Seven days at most."
Mrs. Ru asked anxiously, "Is there really no other way?"
Granny Nie said, "There are other doctors on the island. You can also ask them for help."
Except for Old Qiu, no one on the island has better medical skills than Granny Nie.
But even if Mr. Qiu was here, he is a man and is not familiar with women giving birth.
Madam Ru clenched her fingers and looked at Granny Nie pleadingly: "Can you please come and deliver my baby in seven days?"
Granny Nie didn't answer her and reached for the medicine box.
Su Xiaoxiao had already held the medicine box in her arms.
After the two of them left, Cai Lian knelt in front of the bed, tears streaming down her face: "Madam, what should I do?"
Mrs. Ru changed her panic and said calmly, "She can give birth in eight months."
Cai Lian cried, "But Granny Nie didn't agree to deliver the baby..."
Madam Ru suppressed her weakness and said calmly, "She just didn't give me face, but that doesn't mean she won't give the city lord face either. The city lord will talk to her."
After Nie Jinfeng entered the room, she never called him "Madam".
In her heart, only the deceased Yun Xi was the city lord's wife who had never married.
She will definitely give birth to the young city lord safely, and let everyone kneel at her feet and watch her take the position of the city lord's wife with their own eyes!
The city lord was waiting in the yard.
Nie Jinfeng told the truth about Mrs. Ru's situation.
The city lord said: "After seven days, please ask the mother-in-law to come and deliver Ruer."
Su Xiaoxiao moved closer to Granny Nie, blinked, and said, "Come on, come on."
Only after coming here can we know whether Madam Ru will do anything weird.
She was so sure that she could give birth to a son, who knows if she had any plans?
Granny Nie glanced at her belly and said, "Why are you joining in the fun? Don't you have to give birth yourself?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Mine hasn't entered the pelvis yet."
Granny Nie looked at her without saying anything.
Su Xiaoxiao's fat body trembled: "No way? Is it in the pelvis?"
Wei Xiaobao is coming?
It’s midnight, everyone enjoy your meal.
Summoning a wave of double monthly tickets for Wei Xiaobao, love you.
