The young doctor also looked surprised: “Did grandfather make a wrong diagnosis?”
“I have been practicing medicine for forty years, and I have diagnosed countless cases of slippery pulse, never making a single mistake.” The old doctor was displeased at the comment, and he stared at his grandson with a stern face, “You haven’t even formally started practicing medicine, and you dare to question me? Who permitted you to diagnose the patient? Get out!”
The young doctor frowned, wanting to argue, but was unceremoniously dragged out by the old man.
“Huh?” Jiang Ning reached out her hand, “Don’t leave.”
No one paid her any attention.
She scratched her face.
This was a tricky situation.
The grandson said she was pregnant; the grandfather steadfastly denied it.
Still, Jiang Ning trusted the grandson’s words more.
But the grandson was too honest and timid; he wouldn’t dare to prescribe an abortion potion for her.
It had already been two months, once it passed three months, it would be too late to abort the fetus without causing harm to her body.
Jiang Yi caught up with the old man, but he was told that the girl was fine and just a bit cold. The old man prescribed a few tonics and let them go.
After listening, Jiang Yi felt a sense of relief and lost the mood to wander around. He quickly took his two sisters back to their mansion.
On the way home, Jiang Ning saw some cloaks piled up on one side. She reached over and picked one up to take a look.
The fabric and tailoring were both extremely luxurious, even more so than the one Jiang Yi was wearing.
Jiang Yan asked with a laugh, “I haven’t asked you yet, Seventh Sister, whose cloak is this?”
Jiang Ning shook her head.
She only saw a figure from behind.
When Jiang Yi heard them speaking, he glanced over their way and said, “The boat today had no markings, so it’s impossible to tell whose family it belongs to. But the attendants on that boat were rather unusual, it’s definitely not just anyone. However, that cloak of yours, Seventh Sister, it appears to be from the palace.”
“What?” Jiang Yan exclaimed, “Could it be someone from the palace?”
“Not necessarily, it could also be worn by royalty or nobles,” he added.
Jiang Ning thought about Xiaoqian upon hearing this.
Thinking back, the boy was rather eloquent for his age, definitely a child from a noble family.
She’d have to make sure to clear things up next time she saw him.
When they returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi were both very worried when they heard about Jiang Ning falling into the water. They expressed their concern and tension when they found out that Jiang Ning was unharmed, and still scolded Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi also regretted it.
Because of her fall into the water, Jiang Ruobai did not want to let the Nanny that was invited to teach her manners, do so anymore.
When Aunt Hua heard this, she took the opportunity to invite the Nanny to their side, saying that since she was already invited, and Seventh Miss was not well, then let Jiang Yuan learn manners first.
Jiang Ning didn’t mind this, but seeing Jiang Yan looking lonely, knowing her aunt was a pushover and wouldn’t argue, she took the initiative to let Jiang Yan learn with them as well.
Jiang Yan’s eyes flashed with joy and gratitude.
Jiang Ning didn’t think much of it.
When people treated her with kindness, she was more than willing to return the favor.
What troubled Jiang Ning now was the child in her womb, who was tenacious enough to survive even the fall into the water.
Quite a tough one.
What if she went into the palace like this… She was actually a little curious if they could figure it out.
The next day, very early in the morning, an eunuch surprisingly showed up at the Jiang family, bringing a lot of gifts – all for the Jiang family’s Seventh Miss.
Everyone in the Jiang family was puzzled.
Why was the palace suddenly rewarding Jiang Ning?
It was only after Jiang Ruobai stuffed some silver into the eunuch’s hand that they found out— it turned out that Jiang Ning had saved the Emperor’s eldest grandson the day before. This was all in reward for her deed.
Jiang Ning was stupefied after hearing this.
Xiaoqian was the emperor’s eldest grandson?
Then his grandfather…
Old Man Sun, wasn’t that the current Emperor?
Thinking of the short, fat, and greedy old man, Jiang Ning shuddered violently. The Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, was he really that kind of person?
