Chapter 284 Fate
Nanny Cui immediately looked at Taozhi with a stern look.
After the two of them were assigned to the village chief's mansion, they had a clear division of labor. Nanny Cui was in charge of a large number of affairs in the mansion, and Taozhi had always been the one who served Cui Qingyi personally. After her master got married, she also instructed Taozhi to always pay attention to her master's menstrual period.
But now the master himself has noticed something unusual, but the maid who serves him personally knows nothing about it. This is really a dereliction of duty.
Taozhi was not panicked. She served her master wholeheartedly, especially after being reminded by Aunt Cui, she took it to heart. "But the master had her period last month and this month."
Seeing these two people looking like they were facing a great enemy, Cui Qingyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She touched Wangcai who was clinging to her leg:
"My periods over the past two months have indeed been normal, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm pregnant. I'd like to ask Doctor Lu to come and take a look for peace of mind."
Despite having slept a long night, Cui Qingyi fell asleep as soon as she touched her pillow. Wangcai, who was lying on the floor at the head of the bed, also fell asleep quickly. However, Taozhi and Mammy Cui tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well. Mammy Cui returned to the county town at dawn the next day.
Cui Qingyi was almost certain that she was pregnant. She didn't actually feel anything, but it was Wangcai who would sniff her belly from time to time. Wangcai was a very spiritual guy. It was said that many small animals could always feel the changes in their owners at the first time.
Doctor Lu took a long carriage ride and finally arrived at Luhua Town. Just when he wanted to sit down and take a breath, he was urged by Aunt Cui to go see patients. Poor old Doctor Lu had to swallow his anger because of the wealth of the village chief's mansion.
Cui Qingyi was originally very calm, but when Doctor Lu was taking her pulse, she was stared at by several pairs of eyes and she couldn't help but get nervous, especially when she saw Doctor Lu's face gradually become serious, her heart suddenly tightened.
Cui Qingyi felt that it was a long time before Doctor Lu put down his hand after taking the pulse with his other hand. "The village head is indeed almost three months pregnant, but..."
Before she had time to be happy, Cui Qingyi's heart was again lifted by these words.
Doctor Lu stroked his medium-length beard, feeling somewhat uncertain. Aunt Cui looked at him anxiously, "Just tell me what's going on!"
Cui Qingyi also echoed, "Doctor Lu, please feel free to speak."
Doctor Lu asked Cui Qingyi a question: "Is there any woman in the village head's family who is pregnant with twins?"
Cui Qingyi thought about it carefully and was sure that neither the Cui family nor the Yuan family had ever heard of a woman pregnant with twins, but her aunt had given birth to twins in her previous life, but that was across time and space, so it must have nothing to do with it.
"No, neither my father's family nor my mother's family has ever heard of a woman giving birth to twins."
Doctor Lu frowned slightly and said, "I suspect the village head is pregnant with twins, but it's still early in the pregnancy so I can't be sure."
In the Jin Dynasty, it was a very good thing for a woman to be pregnant with twins. People generally believed that this was a blessing from God.
But Cui Qingyi knew from Doctor Lu's expression that things were not that simple, "Doctor Lu, is there something wrong with my pregnancy?"
Cui Qingyi has always been quick-witted, so Doctor Lu didn't hide the secret from her any further. "It's just that the village head's pregnancy is unstable. She must have already had spotting. My advice is to stay in bed and rest, but there's also the risk of miscarriage at any time."
Taozhi felt extremely nervous, but she had no reason to be shy in front of the doctor: "Our master did have her period two months ago, this..."
Doctor Lu stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "It's too early to say anything definitive. Perhaps a few doses of pregnancy-maintaining medicine and some rest in bed will be enough. I'll prescribe a few doses for the village head. Let's see how it goes."
Cui Qingyi's mind was a bit confused. From what Doctor Lu had said, it seemed like she would most likely not be able to keep this baby. This was the first person she had blood-related to in two lifetimes, so Cui Qingyi was naturally reluctant to let go. "But I don't feel any discomfort?"
How could she, as the mother, not feel anything when she got pregnant and had a miscarriage?
Doctor Lu was very patient: "It's early in the pregnancy, so some people really don't feel anything."
After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time that Doctor Lu saw Cui Qingyi's face in a state of panic. He consoled her, "Don't be sad, Village Head. The child is still alive. Just give him a few doses of medicine and see how it goes."
In fact, according to Doctor Lu, the village master's pregnancy did not look good, and if it was twins, it would be even worse. If it was aborted while the pregnancy was still young, it would not be harmful to the mother, but he could not say this openly.
This was the first time she became a mother in her two lives. Even though the child in her belly was now the size of a soybean, and even though she as a mother could not feel the child's existence at all, the moment she confirmed the pregnancy, the mother's self-protection mechanism seemed to be suddenly activated.
Nanny Cui came in with the prepared pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Seeing that her master looked unhappy, she was about to say a few words of comfort, but then she saw Cui Qingyi pick up the medicine bowl and drink it all in one gulp without even eating a piece of candied fruit.
Wangcai gritted his teeth the moment he smelled the black medicine. The smell was too strong for the dog with a sensitive sense of smell.
But seeing that her master didn't even have an extra expression on his face, Aunt Cui felt distressed: "Master, don't be afraid, the young master will be fine."
Cui Qingyi is a person with strong ability to accept and adapt. After taking a bowl of bitter medicine that went to her heart, she has adjusted her mentality.
"Everything in this world is subject to fate, and I think the same is true for children's reincarnation. If you really can't keep them, there's no way to force it."
That being said, Aunt Cui felt that the way her master drank the medicine did not look like she was in a good mood at all.
"Do you want to send a letter to your uncle?"
"Send it. He's my biological father, so he must know."
Cui Qingyi wrote the letter herself, waiting for Xueqiu to come and tell Jing Wei the news.
Cui Qingyi was prepared, but the baby in her belly seemed to be prepared as well. All the troubles stopped the moment Cui Qingyi drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Wangcai looked at the person lying on the bed vomiting profusely and whimpered anxiously. Taozhi and Aunt Cui were even more panicked. They didn't understand why the person who was fine a moment ago suddenly had such a violent reaction.
When Doctor Lu was dragged in, he was also shocked, but there is no good way in the world to relieve women's morning sickness.
When Cui Qingyi finally calmed down, Doctor Lu said bluntly, "Village Master, please think carefully. If this pregnancy fails, I can prescribe a medicine for you to ensure that there will be no sequelae."
Taozhi really wanted to throw the spittoon on the ground onto the old man's head to see if he was speaking human language.
But Cui Qingyi was not angry. After her heavy breathing subsided, she even said quietly, "No, I don't believe it!"
