Although Thousand Mountains Island was an island, it maintained contact with the outside world. There were many foreign goods and precious jewelry on the island.
Su Xiaoxiao had experienced this long ago in the Hundred Flowers Palace.
However, she did not expect a Jade Pavilion like Madam’s to be so luxurious. Not to mention anything else, just the night pearl casually embedded in the porch was bigger than a pigeon egg.
Was Madam Ru too doted on, or was City Lord Xiahou Qing too rich?
Steward Chang sent her to the door and it was inconvenient to enter again.
The person who came out to welcome Nie Jinfeng and Su Xiaoxiao was Madam Ruts personal maidservant, Cai Lian.
Su Xiaoxiao had seen her on the streets yesterday.
She had been slapped by Ling Yun, and there were still finger marks on her face.
She was no longer arrogant and domineering outside. She was humble and polite. “Granny Nie, please come in.”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Tsk, if I hadn’t seen your true colors, I would have believed you.”
Granny Nie brought Su Xiaoxiao in.
Su Xiaoxiao had been sitting in the carriage yesterday. Cai Lian didn’t see her, but she was a little surprised to see her coming over with a stomach.
Manager Chang said, “She’s the medical lady of the Nie family.”
Hearing that it was the female doctor of the Nie family, Cai Lian smiled at Su Xiaoxiao. “Sister, please come in.”
The two of them walked around the screen and came to Madam Ru’s bed.
A tall and cold man sat by Madam Ru’s bed.
Nie Jinfeng called out to the City Lord.
The City Lord nodded. “Granny Nie, it’s been a long time.”
Nie Jinfeng said, “There’s no need to exchange pleasantries. City Lord, please wait outside. Let me take a look at the patient first.”
The City Lord glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was behind Nie Jinfeng. Nie Jinfeng said, “She’s my medicine woman.”
The City Lord did not say anything else and stood up to leave.
Su Xiaoxiao looked straight ahead, but she was thinking about the City Lord.
That pair of deep eyes was indeed a little similar to a certain someone.
Madam Ru was too weak and had just fallen asleep.
When Nie Jinfeng took her pulse, she was suddenly woken up.
Fear flashed in her eyes.
Cai Lian stood at the head of the bed and leaned over to say softly, “Madam, this is Granny Nie. Beside her is the medical daughter of the Nie family.”
Madam Ru’s att.i.tude was also a complete departure from her arrogance the day before.
She had a virtuous and gentle expression. “I suddenly woke up and didn’t recognize you.”
Nie Jinfeng sat on the wooden stool and placed her finger on her pulse. “Don’t speak yet. Let me take your pulse. We’ll talk after I ask you.”
Madam Ru was embarra.s.sed. “Okay.”
Nie Jinfeng carefully checked Madam Ruts pulse.
Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask Cailian, “How did the complications develop?”
Cai Lian thought that Granny Nie had instructed the medicine woman to ask and replied nicely, “Madam was angered by someone during the day. When she came back, she felt unwell, but it wasn’t serious at that time and she didn’t take it to heart. Who knew that it wouldn’t be good at night?”
Nie Jinfeng asked, “What’s with the wound on your palm?”
Madam Ru looked at her hand that was being checked and hesitated.
Cai Lian said, “Madam… fell.”
After falling, she wanted to blame it on the Hundred Flowers Palace. Fortunately, Nie Jinfeng asked. Otherwise, the Hundred Flowers Palace would inexplicably have another feces basin on their heads.
Cai Lian did not mention the big bird because Second Young Master had already taken the initiative to apologize to the City Lord, saying that his parrot had been preyed on by a ferocious bird and had accidentally entered Madam Ru’s courtyard, causing Madam Ru to be injured by the ferocious bird.
If Madam’s fetus was unwell, he was willing to die to apologize.
At this point, it would be unreasonable for Madam Ru to continue clinging to Second Young Master for culpability.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know about this, but she sensed their intentions of blaming the Hundred Flowers Palace.
She said gently, “I’ve long heard that Madam Ru is magnanimous and will definitely not argue with others. Moreover, being angry is harmful to your body. How can Madam Ru disregard her safety and the fetus for a small matter? In my opinion, Madam’s pregnancy was caused by the fall. Am I right, Granny?”
Cai Lian frowned in embarra.s.sment.
Madam Ru pinched a handkerchief and wiped the tip of her nose. Granny Nie retracted her hand and touched Madam Ruts stomach to check on the fetus.
Then, she asked Madam Ru about her specific symptoms and food.
She turned around and was about to speak to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao finished writing on the booklet with a charcoal pen and said, “I’ve noted it!”
Granny Nie’s expression did not change. She raised her hand to open the medicine box.
Su Xiaoxiao handed over a row of silver needles.
Granny Nie took it calmly.
After administering the acupuncture for Madam Ru, Su Xiaoxiao quickly handed over the pregnancy pills in Granny Nie’s medicine box.
Granny Nie glanced at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “How is it? I’m very useful as a medicine woman, right?” Granny Nie gave the fertility pill to Madam Ru. “This fertility pill can last for seven days at most.”
Madam Ru’s expression changed. “What do you mean?”
Granny Nie said, “In seven days, Madam will give birth.”
Madam Ru widened her eyes and said, “But the fetus has not reached its full term!”
Granny Nie said neither servile nor overbearing, “Since you know that it’s less than a month, why weren’t you careful?” Madam Ru choked.
Cai Lian also regretted it to death.
If she had known that catching a bird would cause such a disaster, she would never have touched that bird!
She should have thrown the bird out and closed the window!
“Madam..
She choked and looked at Madam Ru.
Madam Ru’s face was pale. “Granny Nie, are you sure it can last seven days?”
Granny Nie said, “Seven days at most.”
Madam Ru asked anxiously, “Is there really no other way?”
Granny Nie said, “There are other physicians on the island. You can look for them to think of a way.”
Other than Elder Qiu, no one on the island could beat Granny Nie’s medical skills.
However, even if Elder Qiu was here, he was a man and was not proficient in childbirth.
Madam Ru clenched her fists and looked at Granny Nie pleadingly. “In seven days, can you come and deliver my child?”
Granny Nie didn’t answer her and reached for the first aid kit.
Su Xiaoxiao had already hugged the first aid kit.
After the two of them went out, Cai Lian knelt in front of the bed with tears streaming down her face. “Madam, what should we do?”
Madam Ru changed her panic and said calmly, “I can give birth in more than eight months.”
Cai Lian cried, “But Granny Nie didn’t agree to deliver the child just now…”
Madam Ru endured her weakness and said calmly, “She just doesn’t give me face. It doesn’t mean that she doesn’t give the City Lord face. The City Lord will tell her.”
Ever since Nie Jinfeng entered, she did not call her Madam.
In her heart, only the dead Yun Xi was the Madam of the City Lord.
She would definitely give birth to the Young City Lord safely and make everyone kneel at her feet to see her sit on the position of the City Lord’s Madam!
The City Lord was waiting in the courtyard.
Nie Jinfeng told him the truth about Madam Ru.
The City Lord said, “In seven days, please come and deliver Ru’er’s child.” Su Xiaoxiao leaned closer to Granny Nie and blinked. “Come on, come on.”
She would only know whether Madam Ru would cause trouble if she came.
Madam was so sure that she could give birth to a son. Who knew if she had a plan?
Granny Nie glanced at her stomach. “Why are you joining in the fun? Don’t you have to give birth yourself?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Mine isn’t in the pot yet.”
Granny Nie looked at her without saying anything.
Su Xiaoxiao’s chubby body trembled. “No way? Is it on the way?”
Was Wei Xiaobao coming?
