Chapter 303: A Turn of Events
The waiting time seemed very long, but Jiang Hu's legs were about to break from running, so he tied the doctor back and came in through the side door. As soon as he got off his horse, Jiang Hu carried the doctor to the hall.
"Master, the person has been brought here."
Shen Qinghan glared at Jiang Hu without saying anything. It seemed that these people needed to be taught some proper etiquette in the future. If they asked a doctor like this, what if the doctor was angry and didn't make a proper diagnosis? Wouldn't that harm themselves?
Jiang Hu was confused by Shen Qinghan's stare. He scratched his head and stood at the door to guard it.
Shen Qinghan quickly welcomed the doctor in.
Although the doctor was forced to come by Jiang Hu, he did not dare to have a bad face in front of Shen Qinghan, and Shen Qinghan's attitude was obviously much better than Jiang Hu's. The doctor was a little flattered and followed Shen Qinghan into the hall quickly.
"Doctor, please help my wife take a look. There seems to be something wrong with the fetus in her belly."
The doctor quickly put down the medicine box, opened it and took out the pulse pillow from it.
"Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Or are you feeling any unusual movements of the fetus?"
Mrs. Shen actually hasn't felt anything yet, she just feels that the baby is not moving, this is a psychological feeling, how should she tell the doctor?
"I...I feel like the baby's movements seem to be less frequent. Doctor, could you please help me check?"
The doctor comforted Mrs. Shen while putting the pulse pillow on the table.
"Ma'am, don't worry too much. Sometimes babies move less, which is normal. And since this is your first child at your age, it will definitely be a little different from other pregnant women. This is normal. Just keep a calm mind."
Mrs. Shen nodded, but she was not comforted.
The doctor gently placed his hand on Mrs. Shen’s wrist, and his demeanor was calm at first, but after a cup of tea, his demeanor changed, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Madam, have you used anything that is not conducive to maintaining a healthy pregnancy recently, or any drugs that promote labor? Madam's pulse is a sign of miscarriage!"
Mrs. Shen was so scared that she almost fell off the chair. She had a miscarriage! Someone wanted to kill her twice!
The fetus in her belly is already six months old. If it miscarries at this time, wouldn't it be the end of her life?
Shen Qinghan's face immediately darkened. He calmly asked the doctor, "Doctor, in your opinion, what did my wife use to induce labor?"
The doctor already knew that this trip would be muddy water, but he had to wade through it anyway.
"Boss Shen, Madam must have used or come into contact with something that induces labor. What we can rule out now is food. If it was eaten, the fetus is probably gone. Although the fetus is not in good condition now, it can be saved. The most urgent task is to quickly find out what Madam has recently come into contact with that contains things that induce labor."
The doctor's words made Shen Qinghan's face, which had been as dark as the bottom of a pot, show a slight change.
"Doctor, do you think the baby in my wife's belly can be saved?"
The doctor nodded, "Fortunately, Madam was alert and discovered it early. If it was a day later, even a great immortal would have been unable to save her."
Shen Qinghan couldn't help but take a look at Xiao Fubao. This time it was all thanks to this girl, otherwise his only child would have been harmed.
"Doctor, could you please help me see where Madam used something inappropriate?"
After Shen Qinghan finished speaking, he took out a fifty-liang silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into the doctor's hand.
"Doctor, this is a deposit. If you can help my husband and I solve this problem today, I, Shen, will definitely reward you handsomely."
The doctor was overjoyed when he saw the fifty taels of silver in his hand. He quickly put the banknote away. He was confident that he could find it.
Judging from the pulse, Mrs. Shen should have been infected not long ago, so there are clues to follow.
"Boss Shen, I may need to check all of Madam's daily expenses, including personal belongings. If I am offended, please forgive me, Boss Shen."
Shen Qinghan is a person who doesn't care about trivial matters. Moreover, this matter is directly related to his offspring. Why would he care about these things?
"Doctor, from now on, you are free to walk around and inspect my house as you please. Anyone who dares to stop you will be killed!"
Shen Qinghan wanted to see who had the guts to do such a thing under his nose.
With Shen Qinghan's permission, the doctor started to investigate without hesitation.
The first place to check was Mrs. Shen’s bedroom.
In order to prevent any suspect from going away, Shen Qinghan ordered all the concubines to stay in their own courtyards, and posted someone to guard the gate of each courtyard so that not even a fly could fly out.
The doctor searched Mrs. Shen's bedroom and found nothing wrong.
He went to the kitchen again and checked it, but didn't find anything useful. The doctor's originally confident face was gradually covered with a layer of cold sweat. It seemed that the person who did it was very secretive.
The doctor checked all the courtyards of the Shen family and spent two hours, but found nothing.
When he returned to the hall again, his face was not looking good.
"Doctor, how is it? Have you found out any clues?" Shen Qinghan had already heard the news from his men, so he did not have a good look on his face when he looked at the doctor.
The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lowered his head quickly: "Master Shen, I am incompetent and have not found anything useful. I will return the silver to you."
At this time, fifty taels of silver was a hot potato for the doctor.
Shen Qinghan looked at the doctor with deep eyes, but did not speak.
"Aunt, your nails are so beautiful. Fubao wants some too." Little Fubao was a little hungry. He was eating a snack with his big eyes rolling around, and he saw the cardamom that Mrs. Shen had just made.
Xiao Fubao's voice was very abrupt at this time, but it caught the doctor's attention.
The doctor secretly looked up at Madam Shen's nails and saw that they were bright red cardamom, so it should not have been done for a long time, but it made Madam Shen's hands look even whiter, which was indeed beautiful.
Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to the doctor, and before the doctor could say anything more, he immediately walked in front of Mrs. Shen and stared at Mrs. Shen's nails.
"Madam, can I smell your nails?"
"How insolent." Madam Shen felt that this old man was a reckless person. Not only did he have no real talent or knowledge, but he also humiliated her in public. Madam Shen was so angry that her face turned pale and her chest kept rising and falling. It was obvious that she was very angry.
But Shen Qinghan felt that there seemed to be something fishy about this, and he immediately walked to Mrs. Shen's side.
"Doctor, what do you mean?"
The doctor also reacted at this time. He was a little reckless and quickly bowed to apologize.
"Madam, it's me, Meng Lang, who is so shameless. Please forgive me. I just thought that there might be something wrong with your nails. Maybe the key to the problem lies in your nails."
Mrs. Shen’s anger had not completely subsided. At this moment, she glanced at her nails and felt that the doctor was just talking nonsense.
"What's wrong with my nails? Sister Yun painted them for me personally. If you say there's something wrong with my nails, it means there's something wrong with Sister Yun. Sister Yun risked her life to save the master. How could she cause the master to lose his offspring?"
Shen Qinghan was about to tell Madam Shen not to be careless, but after hearing that it was his most beloved concubine Yun, he felt that it was impossible.
"Doctor, why don't you look somewhere else? Maybe there's a problem somewhere else and you haven't discovered it yet."
Shen Qinghan subconsciously felt that a woman who had once blocked a knife for him would not harm him.
But the doctor shook his head firmly.
"Boss, you two ladies don't know that there is a kind of saffron that can cause miscarriage. It can be mixed with other things to dye nails. Not only is the color beautiful, but it also has a fragrance. People who are not familiar with the medicinal properties can easily fall into the trap."
Shen Qinghan's expression changed again and again, and a voice in his heart told him: Impossible! Absolutely impossible, how could Yun'er harm his offspring? Maybe Yun'er didn't know that this was saffron?
