Yan Kexin touched her belly, looked at Tang Xiaorou meaningfully and said, "Sister-in-law, although you and Huai Xu have adopted two children, they are not your biological children after all, so you have to work harder to get pregnant with Huai Xu's child, otherwise it will be difficult for you to have children when you are older."
After hearing this, Tang Xiaorou frowned slightly, but still smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, this matter can't be rushed, and Huaixu and I both like Xiaoliang and Xiaoyan very much. They are like our own children."
"That's not the case. After all, those two children have no blood relationship with you. How can they be as caring as your own children?"
Shu Ruqiu just came over and was about to nod in agreement when she heard what her eldest daughter-in-law said, but Mr. Shen said calmly, "Okay, Xiaorou and Huaixu know what's going on, so you don't have to worry about it."
Hearing what Mr. Shen said, Shu Ruqiu quickly swallowed the words in his mouth, said a few words casually, and went back to the kitchen to busy himself.
Yan Kexin's face flushed red. Every time she saw Mr. Shen, she felt pressured, so when Mr. Shen said that, she naturally didn't dare to say anything more and could only sit aside awkwardly.
It was Old Lady Shen who asked too many questions.
"Ke Xin, you just said you were taking medicine, so how are you doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Kexin immediately said, "Grandma, I'm fine now. I just felt a little uncomfortable before. I'll be fine after taking some medicine for a while."
"But I just heard Xiaorou say that you are still taking medicine to maintain pregnancy." Old Mrs. Shen was still a little worried and continued to ask: "Where did you get the medicine? Is it reliable?"
"Grandma, I got the medicine from Huichuntang, so there must be no problem."
Hearing that it was Huichuntang, Old Lady Shen did not ask any more questions. It was a time-honored brand in Beijing. It had recently reopened and many people went there to see a doctor and get medicine. The old doctor there was very skilled and it would be no problem to get a medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. "As long as you're okay, I'm glad."
When Tang Xiaorou heard about Huichuntang, she took note of it silently, planning to buy some herbs and tools when she returned, so that she could make some pills for Mr. Huo and the others.
Mrs. Shen saw that Tang Xiaorou had not spoken for a while, so she looked at her and asked, "Xiaorou, how many days will you stay in Beijing this time?"
"We will go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Then I'm going back soon. You guys came and went in such a hurry this time that I didn't get to spend time with you properly."
Tang Xiaorou couldn't help but smile when she heard that: "Grandma, when we have time next time, we will come back to see you."
“That’s a good feeling.”
Seeing Tang Xiaorou's smiling face, Old Lady Shen also started to laugh. This little granddaughter-in-law made her happy just by looking at her. She was unlike her elder granddaughter-in-law, who seemed as if others owed her money.
Just after a few words, Yan Kexin came over to talk to Old Lady Shen. Now that she was pregnant, Old Lady Shen naturally would not ignore her, so they chatted from time to time.
Tang Xiaorou could see that Yan Kexin just didn't want to see her getting close to Old Madam Shen, but considering that she was a pregnant woman, she didn't care too much.
At this time, Shu Ruqiu came over and called everyone to eat.
"Okay, let's all sit down."
After Mr. Shen asked a few people to sit down, he said, "It's just us at noon, let's get started."
Although Shen Zheng and his friends were not there, the lunch was exceptionally sumptuous, showing that Shu Ruqiu had put a lot of effort into preparing it. Tang Xiaorou was not a guest either, so she ate whatever she liked.
Seeing this, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen all smiled and nodded.
After finishing the meal, Tang Xiaorou said goodbye to the two elders of the Shen family and Shu Ruqiu, "Grandpa and grandma, I will come to see you next time." Then she looked at Shu Ruqiu and Yan Kexin and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm going back first."
"Okay, be careful on your way."
After Tang Xiaorou left the Shen family, she asked for directions and went directly to Huichuntang. When she arrived, someone immediately came forward and greeted her warmly, "Hello, comrade. Are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"
"Get some medicine."
Tang Xiaorou was quickly taken to the medicine cabinet. She quickly wrote that she wanted to buy some herbs and asked him to go get them. However, when she saw the rhino horn and tiger bone in the middle, she was stunned and shouted, "Wait, I want this and that too."
Although these were banned only in the tenth generation, even at this time, it was difficult to see these precious medicinal materials, let alone seeing two at a time. Tang Xiaorou wanted to buy them all.
"Sorry comrade, this is not for sale."
"What! You obviously have it, why aren't you selling it?"
The medicine dispenser was embarrassed by Tang Xiaorou, and pointed to the room at the back and said, "Our pharmacy is run by Mr. Qin, you can go ask the old man."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Tang Xiaorou hurried over there, but there seemed to be no one inside to see a doctor. She only heard the doctor ask uncertainly, "Mr. Qin, can you give me some more of the abortion-maintaining medicine you prescribed last time?"
Old Qin frowned and said, "You should let the pregnant woman come here by herself. I can't control the dosage without checking her pulse myself."
"Mr. Qin, just follow the prescription you gave me last time."
When Mr. Qin wanted to say something, he was interrupted again, "Doctor, it's really inconvenient for pregnant women to come here, so just prescribe the medicine according to what you prescribed last time. Anyway, they are all pregnancy-maintaining medicines, so they will definitely not be wrong."
Hearing this, Old Qin snorted coldly and said, "We won't prescribe medicine without seeing the disease. You can go back."
"Hey...why don't you sell my medicine in your pharmacy?"
Old Qin didn't have the patience to talk to this person anymore, so he asked him to leave.
"Wait, you can't do this."
The man was about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very handsome. But at this moment, his eyes were fierce, which destroyed his originally handsome appearance. Although he was very strong, he was ultimately defeated and was asked to leave Huichun Hall.
"Hmph... I'll go catch it somewhere else."
The man spat and turned away.
Seeing that person leave, the young man came over after finishing his work and complained to Mr. Qin: "This person is simply sick. He has been pestering you to keep the secret of having a child. Now that your girlfriend is finally pregnant, he is hiding it and doesn't even want to bring the pregnant woman here for medical treatment. I really don't know what he is thinking."
Hearing this, Mr. Qin glared at the young man and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
The young man finally found an opportunity to say, "Mr. Qin, this comrade wants to buy rhino horns and tiger bones. I said we don't sell them, but he insisted on asking you."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou stepped forward quickly, "Mr. Qin, I'm a doctor myself, so I wanted to buy some to make medicine. Please sell me some, I don't want more." Just now she wanted to take all of it, but now she only wanted to buy as much as she could.
When Mr. Qin heard that Tang Xiaorou was also a doctor, he started to test her directly.
Tang Xiaorou was slightly surprised and answered immediately.
Seeing that Tang Xiaorou had unique insights into alchemy, Mr. Qin finally agreed to let her buy some.
