Chapter 661: Pregnant 1 (2/2)

Thus, Great Doctor Miao was rather grateful to the couple. When He Changdi requested his presence, he came quickly.

Chu Lian ‘woke up’ when she arrived back at Songtao Court. Since the ones serving in Songtao Court were all her close servants, she didn’t have anything to be embarrassed about around them.

She gave a slight cough to hide the awkwardness remaining on her face.

“When Uncle Miao comes over later, let him check your pulse.”

The eternal ice on He Changdi’s face seemed to have melted away completely. There was a slight smirk on his face and he simply nodded in reply to her request without any contest.

Senior Servant Gui had already taken Jingyan and Wenlan with her to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Great Doctor Miao was still strong and healthy despite his age, and he arrived at Songtao Court with his medicine box in no time. The moment he entered the parlour, he saw Chu Lian and He Changdi sitting at the head of the room.

His first reaction was to give them a glare and admonish them lightly, “What did you do to yourselves? Wasn’t it supposed to be a simple trip out? Look at what’s happened to you both! Others might think that you’ve gone to battle instead of just hunting!”

The couple had been around Great Doctor Miao for some time now, so they treated him like a senior member of their family. When Great Doctor Miao reprimanded them like this, all they could do was smile sheepishly back.

Great Doctor Miao set his medicine box on the table and sat down with an air of authority. He faced the couple and asked, “Who’s first?”

Chu Lian turned to look at He Changdi, who took the hint and walked over to Great Doctor Miao’s side.

Great Doctor Miao took up his hand and remained silent as he read He Changdi’s pulse. After a short while, he spoke up, “It’s nothing major, you caught a cold from the cold weather because your body wasn’t in the best condition. You tired yourself out and put stress on your body by worrying too much. Just have a good night’s rest and take some medicine and you’ll be fine.”

After saying that, Great Doctor Miao turned his attention to Chu Lian.

“Now, how about you? How did you get yourself into this state? I just got you back to good health and this is how you repay me?”

Chu Lian lowered her head in shame from the doctor’s scolding.

He Changdi quickly tried to defend his wife, “Uncle Miao, it’s all my fault, don’t scold Lian’er.”

Great Doctor Miao harrumphed.

“Aren’t you going to come here?”

He Changdi vacated his seat next to Great Doctor Miao, and Chu Lian stood up and sat in He Changdi’s place. She extended a fair wrist and placed it on the handkerchief on the table.

Great Doctor Miao focused on reading her pulse. Suddenly, he frowned and pressed harder on Chu Lian’s wrist. It took him much longer to read her pulse than he had for He Changdi. He continued checking her pulse for eight whole minutes and even checked both of her wrists.

He Changdi noticed the grave expression on his face. His heart leaped in alarm. He could barely wait for Great Doctor Miao to finish reading Chu Lian’s pulse before he asked, “Uncle Miao, did something happen to Lian’er?”

Chu Lian hadn’t thought much of the long diagnosis. She hadn’t had much appetite these two days and was a little giddy sometimes. To her, it seemed like the symptoms of low blood sugar. She had eaten more according to what Physician Li had recommended and the symptoms had mostly disappeared.

However, Great Doctor Miao was a genius in the medical field, so she started feeling uneasy from how serious he had turned.
