Chapter 66: Is it a sign of pregnancy?
Throughout the winter, Wen Wan felt only the biting cold.
Even after spring came and flowers bloomed, she could not escape from that cold world.
The yard was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and footsteps were gradually approaching. After a while, the sound of sinking boats was heard.
"Sister Xiaowan, take your medicine."
Wen Wan waved her hands in annoyance, "I've been drinking this medicine for a long time, and it has no effect at all. Please pour it out for me, and when Ah Chai asks later, you can tell him that I drank it."
Chen Zhou curled his lips, "Again? Every time I pour the medicine under the osmanthus tree, it's already wilted. If you pour the medicine on the tree again, it will die. This is what you and Wen En did back then..."
When the name was suddenly mentioned, Chen Zhou came back to his senses.
He slapped his lips in regret, "Sister Xiaowan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention him."
Wen Wan stared blankly ahead, but could see nothing.
She pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "It's okay. I didn't say you can't mention him."
Chen Zhou muttered quietly, "You didn't say it directly, but every time you mentioned this name, you kept a cold face for most of the day, almost writing your unhappiness on your face."
Wen Wan didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing!" Chen Zhou picked up the medicine bowl and prepared to turn around and find another place to pour it out.
"Wait." Wen Wan suddenly called out to him, "Give it to me to drink. After all, it's the only thing he left. If he comes back in the future and the tree dies, he'll definitely blame me."
Chen Zhou was stunned and almost said directly that Wen En might not be able to come back.
But on second thought, Wen Wan actually knew it in her heart, so why should he say more?
She just kept a thought in mind.
The medicine was bitter. After Wen Wan finished drinking it, she drank two bowls of tea before the bitter taste in her mouth could be dispelled.
"Chen Zhou, I know what you mean. When we cleaned out the cave, it was filled with charred corpses. There was no living thing at all, and it was impossible for anyone to survive. Wen En must have been buried in the sea of fire, right?"
Chen Zhou was an honest child and nodded.
Wen Wan, however, kept to herself, "But I always feel that he will survive. He has experienced the most painful suffering in the world, and he is very strong."
"People who can endure hardships and have strength can survive anywhere."
I don't know whether she said this to Chen Zhou or to herself.
Shen Yu had just arrived, and upon hearing this, he stood at the door for a while.
His eyebrows were lowered, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
When he walked into the yard again, he adjusted his expression and kept smiling even though he knew she couldn't see him.
"This time he was obedient and actually drank the medicine obediently."
He handed a piece of cake in his hand to Chen Zhou, who took it and went into the house.
Shen Yu sat down on the chair next to Wen Wan and took the grapes on the small table to peel them for her.
Wenwan ate grapes leisurely, spitting the grape seeds into his hand, and rocking the recliner leisurely.
"Today is not a day off, why are you here?" Wen Wan asked.
Chen Yu continued peeling the grapes. "The doctors in the border town are not very skilled. It's been two months and your eyes haven't improved at all. I found a doctor in the Imperial Capital and will have him come over to check on you later."
"You need to see a doctor again?" Wen Wan's face wrinkled when she heard it. "It's been two months!"
"I've been drinking this medicine for two whole months. I'm a veritable drug addict now. If it weren't for my trust in your character, I would have suspected you were feeding me chronic poison..."
Before she could finish her words, he slapped her forehead.
Chen Yu was speechless. "With your tongue, I really should feed you poison and make you mute. Maybe I can feel more at peace."
Wen Wan covered her forehead with her hands, and her acting skills came on in an instant and she started acting.
"I'm already blind, and you want to make me dumb! Zhou Chai, you have such a cruel heart. Why is my life so miserable? I have no one to rely on, and I have to live under someone else's roof. I'm just the poor little widow from Liu Erniang's family at the village head, and I've been looked down upon by everyone..."
Shen Yu: “…What have you been listening to these past two days is the play of the young widow?”
Since she couldn't see during this period, he hired several opera troupes for her, and they would come to the yard to perform every few days.
He asked Chen Zhou to do all these things, so Chen Zhou let the troupe sing these messy songs for her?
Shen Yu's temples were throbbing, and he was thinking about turning around and asking Chen Zhou's troupe to withdraw.
After listening to the opera, she imitated the actors in the opera and tortured him?
Wen Wan smiled and asked, "How is it? Did I sing well? Does it have that little widow vibe?"
"Heh." Shen Yu sneered and ignored her.
Wen Wan refused to give in, relying on the fact that after his eye injury, no matter what she did, he never really lost his temper.
She shook his arm coquettishly and insisted that he say she sang well.
After being pestered by her for a while, Shen Yu finally compromised.
"Okay, you sing the best, okay."
Wen Wan smiled complacently, "That's about right. In fact, sometimes I think, if my eyes can't recover, then forget it.
"When my eyesight was good, you didn't treat me well. Now that my eyesight is bad, I can get some preferential treatment from you, so let's make a deal."
"No discussion."
Knowing her well, he already knew what she was going to say.
It's just that this is the last doctor she saw and don't look for another doctor for her in the future.
Shen Yu said patiently: "This doctor is different from the previous ones. I had a hard time getting him."
Wen Wan curled her lips, "What's the difference? Could it be that he is still the imperial physician in the palace?"
It’s true!
And he was not an ordinary imperial physician, but the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
But of course he couldn't say this directly to Wen Wan.
"He is as good as the imperial physician." Shen Yu could only give a perfunctory explanation.
Wen Wan complained for a while, and then the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the courtyard gate.
Jinmu personally helped the seventy-year-old steward carry the medicine box and supported him into the yard.
Before coming, Jin Mu had already told Shen Yu to keep his identity confidential, so after meeting him, the envoy only bowed to Shen Yu.
As a person who has lived for most of his life, he has very good eyesight. When he saw that the girl sitting next to Shen Yu was pretty, he immediately understood why the general had come all the way from the capital to invite him to the border.
It was rumored that a great general who had many wives and concubines and was a playboy would actually go to war for such a girl. If this news were to spread back to the capital, many people would be shocked.
The hospital attendant sat down opposite Wen Wan, asked her to stretch out her wrist, and began to take her pulse.
The court attendant stroked his beard and said in embarrassment, "Young lady, your pulse..."
This line starts exactly like those melodramatic lines from TV dramas.
According to convention, the doctor’s next sentence should be, Miss, this is your pregnancy pulse.
Wen Wan found it funny when she thought of those plots, and she actually laughed.
She said to the hospital attendant, "Doctor, you won't tell me that I'm pregnant, right?"
