Everyone was enjoying their meal when they saw Li Xin's mother like this and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. Was the food not to her liking, or had she eaten something bad?
Apart from Yan Qingqing, who had been through it all, none of the others present had experienced it. Therefore, Yan Qingqing looked distressed upon hearing the vomiting sounds coming from outside.
Yan Qingqing then instructed Ruyi, who was standing nearby, "Go and check on the eldest young lady, and also have Steward Yu fetch a doctor."
Li Yueniang asked worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong with my sister?"
Yan Qingqing waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's probably just something bad I ate. We'll have a doctor take a look and we'll know."
Although Yan Qingqing was very unwilling to believe that things were as she thought, some things just don't go as planned.
Steward Yu did not dare to neglect the matter and quickly invited a renowned doctor from the capital.
Last time, Yan Qingqing told him to find a skilled and familiar doctor to come back and take the pulse of the young master and young lady, in case they were not used to the local environment.
But Butler Yu saw that Li Xiang'an and the others were all full of energy, especially the young lady Li Xiangyang, who was full of energy and kept going from morning till night, showing no signs of being unaccustomed to the new environment.
In addition, Yan Qingqing has been busy lately, and Butler Yu really forgot about it.
What Butler Yu didn't expect was that it was actually the eldest daughter who had married into the capital who was "unaccustomed to the local environment."
When Steward Yu arrived with the doctor, Yan Qingqing was in Li Xinniang's room with her.
Not only Yan Qingqing, but also Li Xiang'an, Li Yueniang, and Mu Xi were there.
Although Li Xiang'an and Li Xin's mother were siblings, Li Xiang'an was, after all, a man, so he waited in the outer room.
Li Xiang'an had complex feelings towards Li Xinniang: he was angry at her lack of ambition, saddened by her misfortune, and at the same time felt sorry for her experiences in the Wu family.
Butler Yu first bowed to Li Xiang'an and said, "Second Young Master, Doctor Zhen has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang'an put aside his thoughts and led the doctor to the inner bedroom.
The doctor knew that Lady Mingzhao was a rising star in the court, so he was exceptionally respectful.
Upon seeing Yan Qingqing, he was about to bow when Yan Qingqing said, "Doctor Zhen, there's no need for such formalities. Please take my daughter's pulse."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhen quickly agreed, then took out his pulse diagnosis tool and had Li Xinniang place her hand on it to carefully take her pulse.
After a short while, Doctor Zhen stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Yan Qingqing, and said, "Congratulations, Madam Mingzhao, the young lady is pregnant and has been carrying the baby for two months."
However, after saying this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Dr. Zhen's eyes, but in the end, he did not speak.
The Li family members all had different expressions upon hearing this. They had broken ties with the Wu family and were planning to have Li Xinniang and Wu Jingzhi divorce. Now that Li Xinniang was pregnant, this was really bad timing.
Li Xinniang was overjoyed to hear this. She and Wu Jingzhi had been married for almost two years but still didn't have any children.
Mrs. Wu also often cursed her behind her back, calling her a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
The fact that she is pregnant with this child proves that she can give birth.
Yan Qingqing had anticipated this outcome, so she took a deep breath and smiled at the doctor, saying, "It's really kind of you, Doctor Zhen, to make this trip. After all, this is my daughter's first pregnancy, so are there any other things I need to be careful about? I would appreciate it if you could tell me."
I've also been feeling a bit dizzy lately, and I was thinking of having a doctor check my pulse when I have some free time, but I haven't been able to find the time recently.
Since Dr. Zhen is here today, let's take my pulse together.
"There are too many people here, let's go to my yard instead."
Since Yan Qingqing had given the instructions, Doctor Zhen naturally dared not disobey.
Li Xiang'an was always clever, and he knew that his mother must have something to ask Doctor Zhen.
So he followed Yan Qingqing and left, and Yan Qingqing naturally didn't intend to hide anything from him.
Upon arriving at Yan Qingqing's room, Doctor Zhen was about to take her pulse when Yan Qingqing waved her hand and said, "Doctor Zhen, there's no need. I'm fine."
I called you here to ask about my daughter.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhen replied, "Reporting to Madam Mingzhao, the eldest daughter is fine. Judging from her pulse, the pregnancy is currently stable, but her worries are not conducive to the later development of the fetus."
It's best to try to make the young lady happy.
Yan Qingqing naturally knew that maintaining a happy mood was important during pregnancy. However, given Li Xin's current condition, it might not be easy for her to do so.
Yan Qingqing had always suspected that Li Xinniang had mental problems, so she asked again, "Dr. Zhen, you've probably heard about my daughter's condition. I wanted to ask if she has any mental issues?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhen hesitated for a moment before replying, "To be honest, Madam Mingzhao, the eldest daughter does indeed have some mental issues."
Sometimes they don't act very clearly, and sometimes they may get stuck in their own world and be unable to extricate themselves.
And now that she's pregnant, she's probably even more preoccupied with these thoughts, and she'll be extremely vulnerable to stress in the future.
Yan Qingqing's face grew increasingly grim as she listened. Li Xin's mother's mental state had indeed deteriorated, which was a dereliction of duty on her part as a mother.
Li Xiang'an, who was standing to the side, also looked rather unwell. He had never noticed anything unusual about his sister before; she must have been suffering in the Wu family and been tormented by them.
That damned Wu Jingzhi, is this how he treats his sister?
Unfortunately, their family's position in the capital is not yet stable. He has been busy expanding his business in the capital. If this were in Canghe Town, he would definitely make the Wu family pay.
At this moment, Li Xiang'an also deeply resented his own incompetence.
However, what Li Xiang'an didn't know was that although his family didn't have a deep foundation in the capital, he had recently announced that his family would not do business with any merchants who cooperated with the Wu family. This statement had already had a significant impact on the Wu family.
Wu Jingzhi was also extremely busy at the Wu residence.
Besides going to the Mingzhao Prefecture every day to apologize, he also had to take care of his business.
However, ever since Canghe Liji stopped cooperating with their Jinsheng Pavilion, he discovered that in a short period of time, many merchants had refused to cooperate with them for various reasons.
They lost at least one-fifth of their business partners.
Manager Wu, who was reporting on his work nearby, also looked miserable.
Due to his outstanding performance in recent years, Manager Wu was transferred back to the capital from Chengyang County a year ago to become the general manager of Jinsheng Pavilion.
However, Manager Wu was in a bad mood because he discovered that the Jinsheng Pavilion was no longer the same as before, and the Wu family was no longer the same as before.
Besides having many more things to do and several times more work, they also had to be treated like servants by the Wu family.
All the wives and illegitimate sons and daughters of the Wu family who were short of money would come to him for help.
The monthly income of the Jinshengge flagship store in Beijing is not even enough for the Wu family to squander.
No wonder the former manager looked at him with pity during the handover; this was a hot potato he couldn't get rid of.
