Tan Zhenghong felt a dull pain in his chest, and quickly got dressed as well. How could he let his wife do work in this condition?
After eating breakfast absentmindedly, he went to invite Wu Youcai over.
Regardless of the outcome, they needed a proper diagnosis.
If the situation was bad, they would seek out Bai Yifan early. As Medicine King’s disciple, he surely had a solution.
"Duo’er, let Uncle Wu have a look at you," Tan Zhenghong said gently.
Qiao Duo’er innocently asked, "What’s wrong with me? What does Uncle Wu need to look at?"
She was eating and sleeping well, and felt strong. Was there a problem?
Wu Youcai explained, "There’s nothing wrong. It’s just for peace of mind. I heard that noble persons in the palace have their peace pulse taken daily."
Qiao Duo’er gave Tan Zhenghong a glare - this was probably what was meant by the saying ’creating trouble out of nothing’.
But since Uncle Wu had come, she might as well let him take her pulse.
Tan Zhenghong still insisted on his approach, as he could not bear the pain of losing Qiao Duo’er.
Just the thought of it felt like a sharp knife had been plunged into his heart.
Wu Youcai watched the couple’s interaction with a faint smile on his lips.
Duo’er’s complexion was rosy and her spirits seemed good. She didn’t look as if she was suffering from starvation and thirst.
Ah Hong was just confused by his concern, losing perspective at the slightest rustle of the wind. But to put his mind at ease, he should still take her pulse.
Qiao Duo’er cooperated and sat down, placing her hand on a soft cushion.
A moment later, Wu Youcai burst out laughing, "Congratulations, Duo’er is expecting. She’s already almost three months along."
"That’s impossible!" Tan Zhenghong immediately lost his temper.
He had been taking medicine; could his wife have gotten pregnant on her own?
Wu Youcai, quite startled, took Qiao Duo’er’s pulse again.
She was indeed pregnant, and the child was very healthy.
Tan Zhenghong was still muttering, "That’s not possible, how could she be pregnant? There must be a mistake. Uncle Wu, please check again."
Uncle Wu felt helpless. With his years of medical experience, could he misread a pregnancy pulse?
But seeing Tan Zhenghong’s reaction, he was certain that his words wouldn’t be heard.
Meanwhile, Qiao Duo’er wore a solemn face, showing no sign of what she was thinking.
What was wrong with this couple?
"Madam, are you alright?" Almond tugged at Qiao Duo’er’s clothes.
Qiao Duo’er snapped back to reality. She wondered when this ’little thing’ had been conceived.
After a severe blood loss incident last year, her periods had been irregular, so she hadn’t taken it seriously.
Unexpectedly, the little one had arrived without any fanfare.
Seeing Wu Youcai flustered, she hurried to reassure him, "Never mind him; he’s gone mad. Almond, quickly prepare a red envelope with a celebratory gift for Uncle Wu."
Pregnancy was a happy occasion, and custom dictated the giving of a red envelope, and it had to be a generous one.
Wu Youcai accepted the red envelope. Even at this point, he was still bewildered. Could anyone explain what was happening?
Almond, who had been at their side all this time, was even more perplexed and obviously couldn’t help.
Tan Zhenghong also came back to his senses and sternly escorted Uncle Wu out.
At the courtyard’s gate, Wu Youcai timidly reminded him, "The child is already three months old and past the most dangerous phase, but you still need to be careful and take good care of her."
"I know," Tan Zhenghong responded distractedly.
Wu Youcai was puzzled beyond measure. Tan Zhenghong adored Qiao Duo’er boundlessly, so why wasn’t he happy to know she was pregnant?
Had happiness driven him mad?
But his reaction seemed more like anger. Yet, what reason did he have to be angry?
In the end, Wu Youcai shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore.
He was getting old and couldn’t understand the thoughts of young people anymore.
