The old doctor didn’t get angry about being questioned and bowed out politely.
Jiang Ning yawned, feeling a little sleepy.
It was still early morning.
Aunt Hua nced at her andughed, “Seventh Miss, how do you feel yourself?”
“Not good.” Jiang Ning rested her cheek on her palm and sighed, “I feel nauseous and want to vomit, I can’t wake up fully, and I always want to go to the toilet.”
Aunt Hua frowned.
These were clearly signs of pregnancy.
Even if it wasn’t pregnancy, with so many symptoms, how could the doctor say there was no illness at all?
It must be due to the old man’s failing eyesight and poor medical skills!
Aunt Hua didn’t give up and turned to her connections to invite an Imperial Physician from the pce.
Although the Imperial Physician usually treats thedies in the pce, they would also treat the noble families when asked. Not only they couldn’t refuse, but they would also earn some silver.
Jiang Ning slept in her fragrant room for the whole afternoon. When she woke up, Aunt Hua hurried in with the Imperial Physician.
Jiang Ning was deeply touched and sincerely said, “Aunt, you really treat me better than my own parents. I will make sure to repay you when I be sessful in the future!”
Aunt Hua gave a dryugh, “We are family, and you are the only legitimate daughter in our family. If I don’t care about you, who else will I care about?”
“That’s true.” Jiang Ning yawned and stretched out her hand, “Doctor, please. Once the diagnosis is over, I need to sleep a little more.”
The Imperial Physician quickly came over to take her pulse. After a long examination, he smiled and said, “The youngdy is fine, but a bit weak. She needs proper nourishment in her meals. How about I prescribe something to supplement her energy and blood?”
It’s the same old suggestions.
“Who needs that thing.” Aunt Hua got a little impatient as she didn’t get the answer she wanted.
The Imperial Physician didn’t get angry and happily left.
There were people present to offer silver.
Jiang Ning felt puzzled, but since no illness was diagnosed, she couldn’t do anything about it. Seeing the bitter look on Aunt Hua’s face, sheughed and said, “Aunt, if you’re not reassured, why not look for a few more skilled doctors? We are bound to find one who can diagnose my illness.”
“Ah? Oh, no, no, that’s not what I meant.” Aunt Hua quickly waved her hands, “I’m just d that Seventh Miss is mostly fine.”
Jiang Ning didn’t feel like talking anymore and yawned without energy.
Seeing this, Aunt Hua awkwardlyughed and said, “Since you are fine, you should rest well.”
She left the room, disappointed.
At dinner, Jiang Ruobai gathered the whole family together for a meal.
The main dish was a little fatmb.
Jiang Ruobai personally cut the fattest and tenderest piece for Jiang Ning, but she spat it out after one bite.
Aunt Hua and Jiang Yuan both scoffed at her.
Just pretending again.
Tsk!
But this time, Jiang Ning’s retching was serious, almost throwing up bile.
Lin Zizi was worried and asked Jiang Ruobai to find another doctor.
Aunt Hua somewhat sarcastically said, “Madam, don’t worry. The youngdy just has a weak stomach and can’t eat meat. I’ve already had her diagnosed by the Imperial Physician from the pce.”
Lin Zizi said, “But she’s still very tired.”
“Justzy.” Jiang Yuan’s voice chimed in with a disrespectful tone, “I heard thatzy girls from the countryside were verymon.”
Jiang Ruobai red at her, thenforted Jiang Ning, “Are you not used to living in the manor? How about having your brother apany you out for a walk tomorrow?”
“Brother?”
“Three Brother ising back?” Jiang Yuan asked excitedly.
Mentioning his only legitimate son, Jiang Ruobai was also delighted, “Tomorrow is the Academy’s day off, and I’ve already sent word saying Seventh Miss has returned. Your Third Brother will be home tomorrow..”
