Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 24: Carefully Take the Pulse

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Ning was just planning where to find a doctor, when the doctor himself showed up at the doorstep.

An old man with a head full of white hair and a matching beard, he clearly had many years of medical practice under his belt.

Chunlai was somewhat puzzled: “I haven’t even sent anyone to get a doctor yet.”

“I asked the housekeeper to invite him here,” came Aunt Hua’s voice from outside the door.

She slowly made her way in, resplendently attired, with Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan trailing behind her.

Aunt Hua said with a kind smile, “I noticed that the Seventh Miss was not feeling well yesterday, so I took the initiative to call a doctor. I hope you don’t mind, Seventh Miss.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “Of course not. An opportunity to see a doctor without spending a penny? I would never turn that down.”

Looking at Jiang Ning’s strikingly beautiful face, Jiang Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy.

Even though she was a cripple who needed to get around on a wheelchair, that excessively beautiful face was still so infuriating.

At the moment, Jiang Yuan couldn’t wait to reveal the fact that she was pregnant, so she could be shamed badly.

She urged the doctor, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and feel Seventh Sister’s pulse.”

Jiang Ning looked at her and said with a quasi-smile, “Fifth Daughter cares so much about me, it’s really touching. If the Prince of Yu doesn’t choose such a kind-hearted lady, he must be blind.”

The crowd:

Aunt Hua said awkwardly, “Seventh Miss, it’s not appropriate to say such things. It’s one thing to banter in our own home, but if it gets out, people might say that the ladies of the Jiang Family lack manners.”

“Anyway, I didn’t grow up in the Jiang Family, so if they say I lack manners, it would be understandable.”

Jiang Yuan said, “Seventh Sister, you’re talking so much, are you scared of being examined by the doctor?”

“Actually, I’m a little scared.”

“Oh, what are you scared of?” Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Jiang Ning said, “Do I have to let any random doctor you bring treat me?”

“So what do you want before you agree?” Jiang Yuan asked eagerly.

“If there was, say, a few hundred taels of silver, I might reluctantly agree.”

“Silver?” Jiang Yuan was taken aback, and looked at Aunt Hua.

Aunt Hua was so angry she was ready to grind her teeth, but still managed a warm and radiant smile, “Money is not a problem, Seventh Miss. Just don’t let a little thing like this delay treating your health.”

“I knew Aunt was generous.”

Jiang Ning dangerously stretched her claw-like hand out to the doctor, “Doctor, make sure you examine carefully.”

Jiang Ning knew full well what Aunt Hua and Jiang Yuan were trying to achieve: they simply wanted her to make a fool of herself and lose face in the Jiang Family.

But Jiang Ning didn’t care.

She rather hoped they would catch her out, that way Jiang Ruobai would stop obstinately trying to send her to the selection.

As for the rest, like reputation and such, she didn’t care.

She was a modern person, and she wouldn’t let herself be perturbed by a bunch of uncivilized people from the past.

The old doctor covered Jiang Ning’s wrist with a piece of silk cloth, then began to feel her pulse with shaky hands. After considering for a long time, he stood up and said with a bow, “The young lady’s health is not in serious danger, she is just a little bit weak. Good rest and recuperation will suffice.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Jiang Yuan was extremely disappointed and couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor, could you have misdiagnosed?”

The old doctor said blandly, “I’ve been in the medical profession for over thirty years and rarely make mistakes. Besides, the young lady is healthy, there’s really nothing worthy of diagnosis.”

“But I clearly saw her vomit yesterday after she smelled something fishy!”

“It might be because of her weak digestion. The young lady should eat less meat and go for a light diet. I’ll take my leave now if there are no other

matters..”
