"Does the young mistress often feel cold in her hands and feet during the winter, and is she particularly sensitive to the cold?"
Shen Tangning pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's true." She paused, then seemed to remember something, and her tone became slightly hesitant, "I fell into the water when I was young, and I've had this problem ever since."
Winter is particularly difficult for her, and she wishes she could keep a hand warmer with her at all times.
After a moment's hesitation, Dr. Zhou finally spoke: "When I took your pulse earlier, I noticed that your pulse indicated a deficiency of blood and qi, and that your menstrual flow was irregular. This suggests that you may have difficulty conceiving."
Seeing her puzzled expression, he quickly added, "However, Madam, there is no need to be too nervous. After years of careful recuperation, your health has recovered a lot, and it is not difficult for you to get pregnant. However, having children too early may make the pregnancy process a bit difficult, and there may be complications during childbirth."
However, childbirth carries certain risks for every woman, and in ordinary families, this is not something to be alarmed about.
Dr. Zhou never considered that Chi Yan chose to use contraception for this reason. He only said that to reassure her so that when Chi Yan investigated later, she would not be too harsh on him because she had spoken well of him.
After hearing this, Shen Tangning fell into a long silence.
She was well aware of her own health. Her mother had hired renowned doctors to carefully treat her, and over the years, she had achieved some success. As for the phenomenon mentioned above, no doctor would specifically mention it to her.
Because in their view, this is insignificant compared to the difficulty of getting pregnant. Would any family choose not to have children because of the hardship of pregnancy and childbirth?
Of course not, that's something you shouldn't even think about.
So she never imagined that Chi Yan would go to such lengths to hide this from her, even at the cost of tormenting himself, over such a trivial matter.
She closed her eyes and heard her own calm voice: "Thank you, Dr. Zhou."
Doctor Zhou was somewhat puzzled, but seeing that Shen Tangning left with a calm expression, not seeming particularly angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.
——
As soon as Shen Tangning returned to the manor, she saw Granny Qin approaching with a sullen face. As she drew closer, the latter lowered her voice:
“Miss, I was ordered by you to keep an eye on Wang Zhi Ning, and I saw her sneak out today! Why don’t you guess what she did?”
Xueqing was filled with curiosity, and pouted, "Oh, Granny, stop keeping us in suspense! Tell us quickly!"
Granny Qin's eyes turned cold, and she almost gritted her teeth as she said, "Seeing her acting suspiciously, I secretly followed her. I saw her buy aphrodisiacs; she must be up to something wicked!"
Who is this medicine intended for?
A slight coldness appeared in Shen Tangning's eyes. It seemed that she had been pushed to the limit before, and even this foolish move had come up with.
Xueqing stared in astonishment, then angrily cursed, "You claim to come from a respectable family, yet you resort to such despicable means. You're truly a despicable person!"
Granny Qin's face darkened: "Miss, should we go and apprehend her now? That thing is probably still hidden in her room. If we go now, we might be able to catch her red-handed!"
Shen Tangning didn't rush to speak, her eyes flickering with light and shadow. After a while, she said, "Don't alert her. If she wants to enter our courtyard, remember to make it easy for her."
Xueqing couldn't figure out what her young mistress was thinking, and asked anxiously, "Miss, what if she really succeeds?"
"That depends on whether she has the ability." Shen Tangning's laughter was a little cold. "If we go to arrest her now, how will we know what she intends to do with that medicine without any evidence?"
If the other party denies it outright, there will be plenty of room for negotiation later.
If Wang Zhi Ning dares to take action, this is the perfect opportunity to catch her red-handed and kick her out openly and justifiably.
However, simply kicking them out seems too lenient on them.
