An Guangbai was the most respected doctor in Qingfeng City.
He has practiced medicine for over forty years and has diagnosed all kinds of illnesses, big and small.
But this was the first time he had ever experienced a situation like this.
Before coming, he had already heard from the second young master that the second madam was probably pregnant, so he specially brought a lot of medicine to prevent miscarriage.
But after arriving and taking the second wife's pulse, he discovered that the medicine he brought seemed to be incorrect.
As he hesitated, unsure how to explain to the second young master and the old woman, he was called again from the other side.
"Dr. An, please come quickly!"
The eldest son is usually a very steady person, and it's rare to see him so anxious.
He glanced over and saw that the First Madam had also fainted.
An Guangbai stood up and was about to walk there when the city lord's wife called out to him:
"Dr. An! You should examine Sun Chan first! If anything happens to her, you won't need to treat Gu Jiangli anymore!"
The city lord's wife spoke very harshly, treating the first wife as if she were an enemy.
An Guangbai wiped the sweat from his forehead. After all, this was the city lord's mansion, and he still had to be careful with his words and actions.
"Madam, this... the Second Madam is actually fine..."
He hesitated, wondering whether he should tell her about the second wife's situation first. Judging from the city lord's wife's appearance, she clearly cared a lot about having children. If he told her directly without any preparation, wouldn't that make their joy come to nothing?
So he didn't rush to speak.
The city lord's wife and Jiang Huaisong both breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Chan glared fiercely in Gu Jiangli's direction and cried out:
"Husband, she's faking it! Why would she faint for no reason? She's clearly trying to escape punishment!"
Jiang Huai's eyes darkened, and a rare look of anger appeared on his face:
"Is your sister-in-law a doctor? You can tell at a glance whether Jiang Li is really sick or not? Since you are so capable, why do you need Doctor An to take your pulse? Why don't you just heal yourself?"
Perhaps because Jiang Huaizhi had never been angry before, his sudden outburst of temper today caught everyone off guard.
The room fell silent immediately, and no one dared to say another word. Even the city lord's wife looked at him with a more probing gaze.
An Guangbai spoke up at the right moment: "Young Master, please don't be anxious. As a doctor, I should treat all patients in front of me. I will take the pulse of the Madam now."
Gu Jiangli sat in the chair, her head resting on Jiang Huaizhi's shoulder, slowly turning around, her eyes half-open, appearing particularly weak.
Seeing Dr. An approaching her, she naturally extended her hand and said, "Thank you for your help, Dr. An."
Jiang Huaizhi's hand was tightly holding her other hand, his eyes trembled slightly, and worry was written all over his face.
Gu Jiangli glanced at his expression and moved even closer to him.
The room was quiet, everyone waiting for An Guangbai to speak.
Soon, An Guangbai withdrew his hand, his face beaming with joy.
Sun Chan couldn't stand it any longer and quickly asked, "How is she? Is she not sick? She's faking it, isn't she?"
An Guangbai ignored her and went straight to congratulate Jiang Huaizhi: "Congratulations, young master, the madam is pregnant."
"What?!"
Everyone in the room gasped in amazement.
Even the Jianghuai region was no exception.
"It's true. The First Madam is more than two months pregnant, and the baby is very healthy. However, the First Madam is a bit weak and needs to be properly nourished. I brought some medicine to help with the pregnancy, which she can decoct and take daily."
He calmly took out the herbs he had prepared beforehand from his medicine box and placed them on the table.
Jiang Huaizhi was still in a daze when he stiffly turned his head to look at Gu Jiangli.
Sun Chan and Jiang Huaisong were both filled with disbelief. Jiang Huaisong muttered, "Pregnant? How is that possible? How could she be pregnant? She couldn't possibly be pregnant! How could Gu Jiangli be carrying my brother's child?"
Jiang Huaisong spoke quite loudly, and An Guangbai heard him clearly.
An Guangbai was somewhat puzzled: "Second Young Master, what you're saying isn't very pleasant to hear. The First Madam and the Eldest Young Master are husband and wife, and they've been married for over three months. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for her to be pregnant? Why do you think it's impossible? It's not that I don't trust my medical skills."
Jiang Huaisong hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't believe in your medical skills... it's my brother, he... he... anyway, Gu Jiangli can't possibly be pregnant!"
An Guangbai sighed and shook his head, "Second Young Master, I have practiced medicine for many years, and I can still diagnose whether someone is pregnant or not. I can tell who is pregnant and who is not."
"It is an undeniable fact that the First Madam is pregnant, but the Second Madam is not; she is not pregnant."
Sun Chan jumped up from her chair, exclaiming in a panic, "You're saying I'm not pregnant? How is that possible? My period hasn't come, I have a poor appetite, and I crave sour foods... these are clearly signs of pregnancy!"
An Guangbai slowly said, "The Second Madam's menstrual period is not due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, resulting in poor appetite and a change in taste due to a weak spleen and stomach. It seems that she does need conditioning, but this does not mean she is pregnant."
"You're talking nonsense! How could that be? I don't believe it! It's Gu Jiangli who's pregnant, not me?!" Sun Chan shouted, her face contorted with rage.
Faced with the questioning, An Guangbai no longer maintained his original respect: "It seems that the Second Madam not only needs to regulate her spleen and stomach and her kidney water, but also needs to regulate her liver fire. Your liver fire is too strong, which easily leads to stagnation of heart qi."
“You…” Sun Chan was too anxious to speak, holding Jiang Huaisong’s hand, her heart also panicking.
"What did you say?" The city lord's wife's face was especially pale, and her steps became somewhat unsteady. "Doctor An, you said that the second madam is not pregnant? She is just suffering from weak spleen and stomach, and qi and blood stagnation?"
