Jiang Jiuniang didn't really like dealing with this Madam Qian. At first, she was quite arrogant, but she changed her attitude after she learned that Madam Qian was a good doctor.
Afterwards, they lived in the mansion, but Madam Qian treated them with great disrespect and didn't take them seriously. Instead, she would come to Madam Qian whenever she had a problem, treating her like a servant.
But now that I'm staying at someone's house and have been paid by them, I have to go even if I don't like it.
"I'll change my clothes and then go."
She dressed up for the occasion today, but she must have been quite tired.
The maid nodded and said, "Then this servant will wait outside for Doctor Jiang."
He turned and went out to wait in the yard.
Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan exchanged a glance, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Why are you in such a hurry and so cautious? Could it be that you're looking for some kind of secret illness?
But she had seen Madam Qian before, and she looked quite well; she didn't seem to be sick.
Jiang Jiuniang originally wanted to take a bath, but seeing the little maid's appearance, she removed her makeup, changed her clothes, and went out.
Before leaving, she instructed Lu Baichuan: "Check what Gou'er recorded today to see if anything is missing, and then check his homework. I'll be back in a bit."
"I know, be careful."
Now that his wife's belly is getting bigger and bigger, he would have gone with her if it weren't for the fact that it would be inconvenient for Madam Qian to see a doctor.
When Jiang Jiuniang went out, the little maid was still there. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go."
To everyone's surprise, the little maid was quite cautious. She looked around and then whispered, "Please keep this a secret, Madam. My lady doesn't want anyone to know."
Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "I understand, I will not disclose the patient's privacy."
The maid knew that Jiang Jiuniang had misunderstood her meaning, but she didn't say anything more, thinking that Jiang Jiuniang would understand when she got there.
Jiang Jiuniang hadn't expected the little maid to be so cautious, leading her along a secluded path. If she hadn't had complete confidence in her own abilities, she probably wouldn't have dared to follow the maid around.
"No, young lady, where is your wife?"
Jiang Jiuniang was speechless. She was pregnant!
"It's right in the courtyard, but Madam doesn't want anyone to know, so she specifically instructed me to take Doctor Jiang through a side path."
The maidservant kept talking as she walked, showing no intention of stopping or showing any consideration for the pregnant woman, and didn't even offer to help her up.
At first, Jiang Jiuniang tried her best to keep up with her, but later she realized that she wasn't considering her at all, so Jiang Jiuniang simply gave up and walked slowly.
"Dr. Jiang, could you walk a little faster?"
The maid walked quite a distance ahead, then turned around and saw that Jiang Jiuniang was still far behind her, and immediately became quite angry.
"cannot."
Jiang Jiuniang didn't even raise her head, but her tone was very harsh, and her temper was no less than that of the maid.
The maid, completely oblivious to what was wrong with Jiang Jiuniang, said, "My mistress has been waiting for a long time!"
Jiang Jiuniang didn't want to argue with her, but the atmosphere had already reached this point, so she had to say a few words.
"Open your eyes and look! I'm pregnant! I've followed you all this way on this shabby little road, the ground is full of potholes, and you didn't even offer to help me up. I didn't say anything, but you're getting angry instead."
"If you're in such a hurry, go by yourself. I'm not going to treat your wife's illness."
She turned and left after saying that, not putting up with the man at all.
The maid was frantic and chased after him, saying, "I'm so sorry, Doctor Jiang, I didn't think things through. Let me help you walk!"
She tried to take Jiang Jiuniang's arm, but Jiang Jiuniang dodged her, saying, "No need, let your madam find someone else."
She didn't want to say another word; she just wanted to go back, take a hot shower, and go to sleep.
In this freezing weather, I really don't want to make myself suffer at all.
The maidservant became extremely anxious and chased after her, saying, "Madam, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with you! Please go and treat my mistress first, and I'll accept whatever punishment you may give me afterward."
Jiang Jiuniang was genuinely angry, but she also felt that what she said made a lot of sense. If Madam Qian's condition was serious, then her actions would be irresponsible towards the patient.
She took a deep breath and continued walking forward.
Without the maid's help, Jiang Jiuniang walked slowly on her own, taking about fifteen minutes to arrive.
The maid went in first to report, while Jiang Jiuniang stood outside. There was no one in the courtyard, let alone anyone to drink tea.
Jiang Jiuniang sighed inwardly, resigning herself to her bad luck.
The maidservant quickly came out and led her inside. Once inside, she hurriedly closed the door, as if afraid of being seen.
Although Jiang Jiuniang was somewhat speechless, she could understand and ultimately said nothing.
"Dr. Jiang, I'm so sorry to have called you here so late. I have a favor to ask, and only you can help me."
Madam Qian wasn't angry that they were late; in fact, her attitude was quite gentle, which clearly indicated that she was asking for a favor.
Jiang Jiuniang nodded politely and said, "Please speak freely, Madam."
Madam Qian then adopted a weak demeanor and said, "After much thought, I still want a child. Doctor Jiang, please help me."
Jiang Jiuniang: ? ? ?
Well... she's not a man, so even if she wanted to help, she wouldn't be able to!
Before Jiang Jiuniang could speak, Madam Qian continued, "I know this is a bit difficult, but my husband only trusts you now. Don't worry, I will definitely reward you handsomely after it's done."
"What does Madam mean?"
Jiang Jiuniang was a little confused; even her clever little brain couldn't figure out what Madam Qian was trying to do.
Upon hearing this, Madam Qian immediately revealed a guilty expression and said, "Dr. Jiang, didn't you say before that I could still have children? If I get pregnant, can you help me find a way to make my husband believe that the child is his?"
"What?"
Jiang Jiuniang blinked. This Madam Qian is really something else. She wants to cuckold the prefect and even wants Jiang Jiuniang to help cover up the lie.
She shook her head repeatedly; she wouldn't do such a despicable thing.
Madam Qian immediately put on a pitiful look, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Dr. Jiang, you have children, so you can't understand how difficult it is for a woman like me who has no children to live in such a family. Everyone in the clan condemns me, saying that I have ruined the Qian family's lineage and that I am a sinner."
“Everyone in the clan bullies me. Now that our master is still alive, he can still protect me to some extent. But if something happens to my master, this huge family business will have no one to inherit it. I will be devoured by those people in the clan until there is nothing left!”
"Dr. Jiang, please have pity on me and help me this once!"
Madam Qian tugged at Jiang Jiu Niang's sleeve, swaying back and forth, looking truly pitiful and evoking pity in people.
"I'll give you this amount after it's done."
As she spoke, she extended a finger and added, "Ten thousand taels."
This is indeed no small sum. Jiang Jiuniang licked her lips, her mind a battle of words.
