In the kitchen, Hao Yueqing was boiling water. Seeing the maid beside Jiuer coming in, she smiled and said, "The water isn't ready yet. I'll make tea for Jiuer when it's ready. I brought some good tea back this time."
Haitang was still a little uncomfortable with the host's enthusiasm.
She hurriedly said, "Young Madam didn't eat lunch, I'll get her something to eat."
"Jiu'er didn't eat?" Hao Yueqing was stunned, then said: "I'll take care of it, you go take care of Jiu'er, it will be ready in a while."
Having said that, Hao Yueqing didn't let Haitang do it, but she saw that Hao Yueqing cooked quite skillfully, so she didn't insist. After waiting for the water to boil, she poured some brown sugar water for the young lady.
In the main room, Ke Xin looked at the fish on the plate and felt a faint sour feeling in her chest.
"This is my specialty, steamed fish. My parents say it's delicious. You should try it."
Ke Xin looked up and saw Hao Yueqing's expectant eyes. She also heard her uncle and aunt's words: "This dish is really good. Your brother caught the fish in the river yesterday. It's very fresh. Try it."
Everyone was watching her eagerly. If she said anything more to evade the issue, it would seem pretentious. So, she paused and took a small sip. The smell filled her mouth, but it wasn't very strong.
“Ugh…Ugh…”
Ke Xin couldn't help it and vomited on the spot.
Everyone in the room was stunned, especially Haitang, who grabbed Hao Yueqing by the neck and said viciously, "Did you poison the fish?"
The uncle and aunt were even more confused. The old couple looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes: "This... Is this some kind of misunderstanding?"
Haitang watched as the young lady could not help but gulp water down her mouth, her pretty eyebrows furrowed. "What misunderstanding? She's clearly seeking revenge for herself. If anything happens to my young lady, I'll drag you to hell."
After saying that, Haitang ran to the side of the young lady and said anxiously, "Madam, I'll have someone get Doctor Qi right away. Just hold on."
After rinsing her mouth, Ke Xin finally suppressed the nausea and pulled Hai Tang away, saying, "No need, I'm fine. I'm not poisoned."
If a village chief wanted to poison his daughter, he would probably use a laxative or something like thiamin. If he had a brain, he would have used a chronic poison.
If it was a fatal poison, she would have died as soon as she took the first bite of the fish. If it was a chronic poison, the symptoms would not have appeared so early.
"I can't eat fish. This fish has a very strong fishy smell. I feel like vomiting before I even eat it."
After Ke Xin finished her explanation, the uncle and aunt's expressions improved a little. On the other hand, Hao Yueqing was so scared that she was paralyzed. It took her a long time to react.
Trembling, he walked up to Kexin, holding back the tears in his eyes, and said, "Jiuer, I really didn't poison you. If you don't believe me, I'll eat it and show you!"
After she finished speaking, she grabbed her chopsticks and started to eat. However, Ke Xin grabbed her hand and shook her head: "I know you didn't poison me. It was my maid who misunderstood."
After saying that, he rubbed his stomach and said, "Maybe I caught a cold from eating cold melon in the past two years. My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
The old lady had been through this before, and she immediately felt something was wrong: "That can't be right. It wasn't colder during Chinese New Year, and I didn't see you complain about a stomachache."
After saying that, Xue Ying asked suspiciously, "Is the sunflower water coming this month?"
Ke Xin knew what the old lady wanted to say. She smiled and shook her head: "Auntie, we have both been using contraception, there is no way we can get pregnant."
contraception?
Xue Ying didn't believe it: "You can't say anything so absolutely. What if your medicine doesn't work?"
Doctor Qi is such an expert in medicine, would he use expired medicine?
Ke Xin thought about it and felt that it was unlikely, but then she remembered that her period had not come this month. Could she really be pregnant?
Seeing her in a daze, Xue Ying called Hao Yueqing, "Hurry up and go to the village to invite Doctor Wu to check on Kexin. If she really has stomach discomfort, give her some medicine."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Hao Yueqing responded and ran out.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he stumbled and almost fell, and died in a panic.
Seeing this, Ke Xin glanced at Haitang, but did not blame her.
Soon, Doctor Wu was invited by Hao Yueqing. This time he came in a hurry, but he didn't lose his shoes, just that he didn't carry his medicine box...
Doctor?
If a person like this appears in the house, it means that someone is sick, otherwise how could he come?
Ge Shuzhen pulled Doctor Wu aside and asked, "Who's sick?"
Jiang Yongtian, who had just walked out of the house, was also surprised: "Yeah, who is sick?"
When we woke up this morning, the whole family was full of energy. What happened? After a busy morning, someone got sick?
Doctor Wu looked at the third brother and his wife, completely bewildered, and said, "Isn't your daughter Ke Xin sick? Don't you know?"
Ge Shuzhen and Jiang Yongtian were stunned: "I don't know, she seemed normal just now."
After the former finished speaking, he ran into the main room.
Jiang Yongtian directly dragged Doctor Wu into the house, wondering in his heart what disease Xiao Jiuer had.
In the main room.
Doctor Wu carefully took Ke Xin's pulse and didn't speak for a long time. Ke Xin felt a little complicated.
It is said that the longer a Chinese medicine doctor feels the pulse and the more serious the patient's face becomes, the more likely it is to cause trouble. Could it be that I really have a terminal illness?
Ge Shuzhen also became anxious and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Wu, what disease does my daughter have?"
Doctor Wu, who had just switched hands to treat patients, frowned and began to examine the patient again. Finally, a smile spread across his face. "Village Chief An is fine. She is pregnant, but it's still early. If you don't feel carefully, you really can't feel it."
