Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2541: Chapter 2538: Diagnosis

He examined for a while, then withdrew his hand and said, “Indeed, it’s a pregnancy pulse, but the month is still early, only a little over one month. You need to take good care, avoid strenuous activity for the first three months, and refrain from eating too well, as it can lead to a too-large fetus that is difficult to deliver. After three months, walk more regularly.”

“Here, let me prescribe you a medicinal diet for pregnancy protection; your health is quite good, so don’t take medicine indiscriminately.”

“Take it back and take a look; the palace also has some secret pregnancy protection recipes, but if you trust me, bring them over first for me to review.” Lu Sangqi was well aware of why Ye Muyu had Chu Ziluo come today; it was out of fear something might go wrong.

Since that was the case, he naturally spoke plainly, willing to examine her.

“Thank you, Uncle Lu.” Chu Ziluo felt relieved and hurriedly asked the maid beside her to present gifts to him.

Lu Sangqi directly refused, “No need, I’m in partnership with your mother for the medicine shop; I’m not short on silver. If you give me these things now, wouldn’t it let people guess you came to seek a pulse examination from me?”

“If you really want to thank me, just persuade your mother not to tease me anymore.” Lu Sangqi was truly troubled, fearful of Ye Muyu’s mischief.

Chu Ziluo was curious, “Uncle Lu, tell me, what did my mother do to you that makes you so afraid?”

Lu Sangqi chuckled twice, decisively turned and left, intending never to speak with the Chu family again — they all had such odd humor!

“Ning’er, come over, help me.” As Lu Sangqi walked out, he directly beckoned to Huo Ning.

Ye Muyu pursed her lips, gestured for Chu Heng to come, “Ah Heng, come over, help me.”

Even though Chu Heng was in regular clothes, his demeanor was outstanding. As he approached to help Ye Muyu, although he didn’t say much, his attitude was not aloof, which instantly reassured the tense townsfolk, making them willing to let Ye Muyu examine them.

On the other hand, Huo Ning went to Lu Sangqi’s side, advising somewhat helplessly, “Why are you so childish? Over there, Sister Ye, Lord Chu doesn’t understand medicine. I’m a woman; it’s more convenient for me to help. We certainly can’t send a running servant boy from the shop over.”

“You needn’t worry, Chu Heng… Lord Chu is quite capable; he learns quickly. We don’t need to worry at all; just watch.”

Lu Sangqi, knowing the situation well, decisively chose not to argue with Ye Muyu, much less speak ill of Chu Heng.

Truthfully, he didn’t want another encounter like the previous disastrous one.

Huo Ning looked over curiously, and indeed, Chu Heng was methodically helping, with none of her concerns coming true.

Huo Ning was a bit astonished, “Lord Chu is really clever.”

Lu Sangqi sneered, “If he weren’t smart, could he stand firm in court? Don’t be fooled by his gentle appearance; he’s more cunning than an old fox. Anyone who tries to scheme against him will surely regret their actions.”

Huo Ning nodded, praised, “It’s great; with a friend like him, I don’t worry about you having trouble.”

Lu Sangqi originally wanted to retort but couldn’t deny it; his safety wasn’t solely due to the Lu family’s presence but also because of Chu Heng — no one was willing to offend him.

At least, they wouldn’t deliberately set traps for him.

“Understood, haven’t I made concessions already? You wouldn’t believe what Ye Muyu did…”

“What did Sister Ye do?” Huo Ning was truly puzzled, “I see that in the gift box, isn’t there not only a pair of jade bracelets but also other gifts?”
