Chapter 385 Calm down
In the clinic, Qin Qingyao stretched out her arm to Doctor Zhao. Dugu Yu stood upright on the side with a strong aura, his muscles tensed, and he was completely ready for battle. Doctor Zhao was so scared that he trembled for a long time and didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
Before he got close to Qin Qingyao's wrist, he saw the terrifying man staring with his big eyes moving with his movements, just like catching a thief.
He had no doubt that if he were to run into this lady, her husband would probably break his wrist.
He was sweating all over, but still didn't dare to touch it. Dugu Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore, "What are you doing? Take my pulse!"
The old doctor was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. "Well...how about I diagnose your pulse with a hanging thread?"
Dugu Yu frowned. "Diagnosing pulses with hanging silk threads? Can you trust a thread that flutters in the wind? Are you a doctor or not?"
Qin Qingyao rolled her eyes speechlessly, "You, get out first."
Dugu Yu pursed his lips and remained motionless.
"Don't you realize you scared me? You're causing all the trouble." After scolding Dugu Yu, Qin Qingyao put on a friendly smile and said to the old doctor, "Don't mind me, old man. My husband is just a little nervous."
"Actually, I'm not in any serious trouble. I just haven't had much of an appetite these past few days. It might be because the weather is so busy. You can take it as you please and just pretend he's not here."
When he is not around...it's easy for you to say, even if he is standing three meters away, his aura can confuse people!
The old doctor calmed himself down and decided to die early and be reborn soon, so he quickly sent the two away. Had he not seen that all the patients ran away in fear, he wondered if he would still be able to do business!
I thought that according to the lady's own statement, it was the heat that entered her body, but after the old doctor took her pulse, he said "Huh".
Dugu Yu suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Doctor Zhao's face twitched. "Congratulations, both of you. Your Madam is pregnant. The baby is over a month old and is doing well."
I thought I would see a joyous scene, but after the old doctor finished speaking, I found that the couple was becoming more silent than the other. Not only did they not show any joy, but their bodies were stiff, and the adoptive father looked as if he was facing a great enemy.
What's going on? Are you unhappy about your pregnancy? Could it be...
The old doctor was horrified. From their looks to their demeanor, it was obvious that these two people were either rich or noble. Yet they were not happy having a child. There must be something hidden!
Doctor Zhao felt that he had accidentally exposed some dirty scandal of a big family. No wonder they came to this remote place. What should he do? After knowing such a big thing, he would not be silenced, right?
Thinking of this, Doctor Zhao plodded to his knees and said, "Please spare my life, sir. I know nothing and saw nothing. You haven't been here today. I swear I won't tell anyone a word."
Qin Qingyao was shocked. Such an old woman knelt down in front of her. Wouldn’t that shorten her lifespan?
Just as she was about to stand up from the chair to help the person, Dugu Yu had already picked her up, fearing that she would get bumped or hurt.
Qin Qingyao, "What are you doing?"
Dugu Yu held Qin Qingyao in one hand and took out a banknote with the other, without even looking at the denomination, and placed it on the table. He then turned and left, leaving the old doctor staring at the 1,000-liang banknote, trembling in fear, alone.
Qin Qingyao looked puzzled. It was embarrassing to be hugged in the street like this. It wasn't like she had no legs.
"What's wrong with you? Put me down first, I'll walk by myself!"
Qin Qingyao looked at the gazes coming from all directions, her face flushed with shame.
But Dugu Yu still held on to her tightly, as if he didn't hear Qin Qingyao's words.
"Hey you..."
Qin Qingyao grabbed Dugu Yu's ears and turned his face to look at her, but found that Dugu Yu was smiling like a fool with red eyes.
It seems that those passers-by didn't just look at her because she was being held by someone. Dugu Yu's smile was really creepy.
"Are you okay?"
"fine."
Qin Qingyao stretched out her hands and squeezed Dugu Yu's face, "Then stop laughing, it's scary."
"Ah? Okay."
He clearly said yes, but he still smiled arrogantly.
Qin Qingyao buried her face in Dugu Yu's shoulder speechlessly, trying to convince herself, "No one sees me, no one sees me."
After being carried by Dugu Yu for three blocks, Qin Qingyao even forgot to be shy. "Where are you going?"
"I don't know either. Why don't we find another doctor and take a look."
"Don't you believe what the old doctor said?"
"No, I do."
After being taken by Dugu Yu to see two more doctors, Qin Qingyao finally understood what was wrong with this man. He just wanted to hear people say, "Your wife is already over a month pregnant. Congratulations..."
Then, he'd scatter a huge amount of money like a child giving out money. Is this really childish...
Qin Qingyao had never imagined that the dignified King Wu Ling would have such a shameful day. Finally, she could no longer endure it and said, "Husband, I'm tired."
"Ah, let's go to the inn and rest."
Finally stopped making trouble!
However, Qin Qingyao still underestimated Dugu Yu's excitement. Unlike ordinary people, he would not dance and laugh loudly when excited. He would calm down after a while. His excitement was like some of his abilities, which was very long-lasting.
That night, Dugu Yu remained in a highly excited state. He did not sleep the whole night. Instead, he bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down all the pregnancy precautions that the doctor had told him, for fear that he would forget them.
The next morning, when Qin Qingyao woke up, she saw two big eyes staring at her motionlessly, and she almost screamed in fright.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
Dugu Yu smiled unconsciously when he saw her wake up, and kissed her gently on the forehead, "Get up, wash up, and eat. I've prepared a carriage, and we'll set off for Yuncheng today."
"Yuncheng? What for?"
"The doctor said that pregnant women shouldn't overwork and need to be extra careful during the first three months, so we can't go out and have fun for the time being."
"I plan to settle down in Yuncheng first. It's the closest major city to here. Although the conditions there aren't as good as Yulin City, they're still pretty good."
"I've already sent a message to Jinghan and the others. They'll be here soon. It's just that we don't have any old maids with experience in caring for pregnant women. But don't worry, I'll be able to find one soon once we get to Yuncheng. Just rest and recuperate."
Qin Qingyao, "..."
So what happened last night? Why did this legendary, taciturn, cold prince suddenly become a chatty old woman?
Qin Qingyao thought that he was still immersed in the afterglow of the ecstasy of becoming a father, and did not want to discourage his enthusiasm. She just followed his instructions and got into the carriage obediently.
It's already the end of May, but Dugu Yu has laid thick cushions in the carriage. Everything is soft and will definitely not let her bump into anything, but it will be really hot!
Arriving in Yuncheng, Qin Qingyao thought of Dugu Yu's evaluation of "not bad", and three black lines fell on his forehead. If this can only be considered "not bad", then what do you think is perfect?
This city has the feeling of a Jiangnan water town, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. Qin Qingyao fell in love with it immediately.
Dugu Yu was worried about leaving Qin Qingyao alone in the inn, so he took her with him wherever he went. He was also afraid that she would get tired, so he even carried her in his arms in public.
Qin Qingyao really couldn't stand it this time. Could this man ever return to normal? This wasn't a sparsely populated town, and he wasn't afraid of being surrounded and treated like a monkey!
Qin Qingyao reached out and grabbed Dugu Yu's face, pulling it hard. "Hubby, calm down. I'm not made of porcelain. There's no need to be so cautious. If you keep doing this, I'll be angry."
"Don't be angry. What should I do? I'll listen to you."
Qin Qingyao, "..."
Dugu Yu quickly bought a luxurious mansion in the city. This extravagant spending behavior was seriously despised by Qin Qingyao. "We are not going to settle down here in the future. Why did you buy such a large mansion?"
Dugu Yu said confidently, "Even if you only live here for a year, you have to live comfortably. Don't worry, we can sell it when you leave later. You won't lose money."
Qin Qingyao thought this made sense, so she forgot to remind someone to be frugal.
Then a notice was quickly posted at the gate of the mansion, recruiting servants for a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, who must have experience in caring for pregnant women.
Ten taels of silver, this was the treatment that only the old steward of Prince Wuling’s Mansion could have. It was really generous!
The day after the notice was posted, Zhao Jinghan and Bai Zhi arrived with a small group of people. They looked exhausted and it was obvious how they had traveled day and night to get here.
The princess is pregnant, and they are no less excited than the prince!
Seeing the notice posted at the door and the people crowded together to apply for the job, Bai Zhi dismounted and stood at the door with a stern face, "Line up and be quiet. What's the point of making so much noise? Can you handle disturbing our wife?"
The noisy crowd immediately shut up. The family could spend ten taels of silver every month to hire servants, which showed how precious the lady and the baby in her belly were. If they were to cause any trouble, they really couldn't afford the compensation.
Zhao Jinghan brought people into the house to report, and Bai Zhi was already preparing outside the door.
Dugu Yu posted the notice and left it alone. People who came to apply for the job almost thought that the owner of the house had posted it as a joke.
Upon his arrival, Dugu Yu had already caused quite a stir in Yuncheng. People in the teahouses and taverns were all wondering about the origins of this outsider who rarely showed up.
Giving servants such high treatment is their own family business, but posting it so blatantly and making it known to everyone is disrupting the market and causing trouble for others.
The troublemakers recruited a few hooligans to cause trouble, hoping to test the outsiders' abilities. However, as soon as they opened their mouths to make a noise at the door, Zhao Jinghan kicked them across the street...
