Seeing them leave, Fu Xiaoyu came downstairs. Looking at their departing figures, her eyes were filled with deep, unyielding confusion.
"Master, why didn't you just show yourself? Wouldn't that have been better?"
Lin Yun looked at him, puzzled. He clearly wanted to help the young girl, but he was acting all high and mighty.
"You're so talkative, have you managed to find out where that group of people came from?"
Fu Xiaoyu turned around. His identity couldn't be too conspicuous at the moment. Moreover, many places in the Great Yuan Dynasty had recently suffered from disasters, and the national treasury was severely depleted, so the border area was particularly turbulent.
Li Chen led them through a maze of turns to the entrance of a large mansion, but unfortunately, none of them could read.
After looking around for a while, they only felt that the house was very big, but they still didn't know whose house it was.
Li Chen noticed their predicament. At that time, very few women were literate, so he naturally wouldn't laugh at them.
“Miss, this is the Lin family’s house. I’ll go in and get you the money right away.”
Han Chunying thought about how many nice clothes she could buy with fifteen taels of silver.
Liu Meie was also very excited. She had never seen so much silver in her life, but she didn't show it. After all, she was an elder and she had to maintain her composure.
"Cui girl, you deserve the most credit today for selling all these things. You can keep this money."
He then handed her the purse containing the eight taels of silver from before.
"Aunt, you should keep it. I'm afraid I'll lose it."
"You handled everything today, so you should keep the money. With so many of us here, how could you let the money go to waste? You really don't respect your aunt."
Although Liu Meie liked silver, this time she genuinely wanted to give it to her.
"Wife, take this, I'll buy some candied hawthorns."
Han Yu'an took the silver and stuffed it into Cui Yulu's hand, looking at her with a lovesick expression, waiting for her to praise him.
"See? My Yu'an really knows how to pamper his wife."
Liu Meie reached out and pinched his cheek, and Han Yu'an blushed with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, young lady."
At this moment, Li Chen was holding silver in his hand, and a young woman was following behind him.
The woman's face was like the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, and her eyebrows were like distant mountains; she looked like a blessed person.
Li Chen handed the silver to Cui Yulu, a slightly embarrassed look on his face, stammering as he didn't know how to start the conversation.
The woman behind him also had a flushed face, and it seemed that the two of them had something difficult to say about it.
Cui Yulu felt the weight of the silver in her hand was off, and realized that someone wanted something from her.
"Mr. Li, please just tell me what's wrong. I'll do my best to help if I can."
Although we just met today, I think he's a nice person and someone worth getting to know better.
Seeing Cui Yulu's forthrightness, Li Chen felt a little relieved, but he still felt a little embarrassed when he saw Liu Meie and Han Chunying.
“Aunt, take this money and go buy some snacks for An and Chunying. We’ll meet at the wonton shop in a bit.”
As he spoke, he took out three taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Liu Meie.
Liu Meie took the silver and left with Han Chunying and Han Yu'an.
But seeing that his wife didn't move, Han Yu'an didn't want to leave either.
He kept clutching Cui Yulu's sleeve, his face filled with fear.
"Yu'an, my dear, your aunt will take you to buy candied hawthorns. Your wife will come to find you in a little while, okay?"
Cui Yulu coaxed and tempted him in a low voice, and it took a lot of persuasion to finally get him to leave.
"I'm sorry, my husband is a bit clingy."
Cui Yulu smiled apologetically at them.
"Yes, we can see that this is my wife, Qiaoniang. Come and greet the little miracle doctor."
Qiao Niang, who was behind Li Chen, walked over slowly and helped her up, as if to say hello.
"Oh, I won't beat around the bush, I'll tell the little miracle doctor the truth."
It turns out that Li Chen and Qiao Niang have been married for many years, but they have never had children. Over the years, they have been seeking medical treatment and trying various methods, but her belly has never grown bigger.
Now his family is pressuring him hard, and they have repeatedly arranged concubines for Li Chen, but he has refused them all. This has angered the elders in the family, and if Qiao Niang does not get pregnant soon, she may be divorced and sent home.
The two people, however, had a very good relationship and didn't want to separate.
"I, Li Chen, only want Qiao Niang as my wife in this life. Even if we are not destined to have children in this life, it doesn't matter."
However, after seeing how capable Cui Yulu was today, he still wanted to try again, hoping that there might really be a way.
"Okay, I understand."
Cui Yulu nodded gently, found a quiet spot, and began examining the two people.
However, after taking her pulse, Qiaoniang's health was perfectly fine; in fact, I could tell just by looking at her face.
Qiao Niang's genitals are rosy and full, indicating she has both a son and a daughter.
Li Chen's face turned red as a result, clearly indicating a damp-heat constitution, suggesting the problem likely lies with him.
"How was it, little miracle doctor, me?"
Qiaoniang hesitated, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Just call me Yulu. You're fine, just a little imbalanced in your qi and blood. A few doses of angelica and jujube medicinal diet will do the trick."
"Then why haven't we had children for so long?"
Qiao Niang's face turned even redder.
"The problem lies with him. Don't worry, this time you'll have good news by the end of the year."
Looking at Cui Yulu's youthful face, Qiaoniang didn't know whether she should believe her or not.
Let's just treat it as a last resort.
"Is what the young lady is saying true? Can we really have good news at the end of the year?"
"Yes, that's the problem with you."
It would be easier to explain to the family if the matter came from him, at least it wasn't Qiaoniang's fault, and she had to suffer so much injustice for no reason.
