Chapter 199: Chapter 197: Start the Calculation, Undeserved Disaster, Sisi Feels Wronged
At the main hall of the Goddess of Mercy’s Temple, a sedan chair came to a halt.
Before the sedan chair stopped completely, a pregnant woman holding her stomach quickly got out.
This was none other than Di Ruoning and her group, who had separated not long ago.
Di Ruoning was in great pain at that time, so she had to stop and rest for a long time. Ms. Zhang and others had already left. Only Yuan Mengbai stayed by her side.
Fortunately, they met a kind traveling doctor who happened to be at the temple fair. He quickly diagnosed her and pointed out the cause of her problem.
“Madam, did you eat something unusual that led to your baby moving?”
“I haven’t eaten anything different from usual. I don’t see how that could be the problem.” Di Ruoning couldn’t figure it out.
Yuan Mengbai, however, had a thought: “Doctor, can pregnant women eat candied haws?”
“Rock sugar is fine, but eating too much hawthorn can cause fetal movement. Madam, how could you endanger your child by indulging in the fleeting pleasures of food? Sigh! It’s really…” The wandering doctor shook his head and left after receiving his payment.
Di Ruoning’s face turned pale with anger, and she fumed for a long time before finally yelling!
“Damn you, Liu Sisi! I thought you admitted defeat and gave me the candied hawthorns, but you were trying to harm me!”
Yuan Mengbai couldn’t stand it any longer: “She told you that pregnant women shouldn’t eat the candied haws. It’s your own craving that’s to blame…”
His words immediately enraged Di Ruoning: “Well done, Yuan Mengbai! Are you falling for that little vixen and taking her side? Do you just want me to die of anger!?”
“What… where did that come from? How could I think that way?”
Yuan Mengbai swore and cursed, doing everything short of kneeling down. At last, he managed to coax Di Ruoning into laughter.
After taking a dose of pregnancy-protecting medicine and resting for four hours, Di Ruoning finally felt better and was relieved of her imminent distress.
Originally planning to return home by another route, she changed her mind at the last minute.
“We are already at the foot of the mountain. How can I not visit the Goddess of Mercy’s temple? I hope I can have a daughter to make up a good character this time. No matter what, I must go up the mountain and pray for the Goddess of Mercy’s blessing.”
Most importantly, she hadn’t taught that damn Liu Sisi a lesson yet. How could she let her off the hook!
As a result, Yuan Mengbai hired another sedan chair to take her to the entrance of the temple.
Her eyes swept the surroundings, taking in everything around her as if searching for something. She frowned in disappointment when she couldn’t find it.
Damn!
Was it possible that she had taken her silver and not come?
“Ruoning, what’s wrong? Weren’t you just in a hurry to go in and worship the Goddess of Mercy? Why did you stop and not go any further now?” Yuan Mengbai asked after dismissing the sedan chair bearers.
Di Ruoning’s eyes flickered before she covered her chest: “Mengbai, I’m hungry now. Go get me a vegetarian meal.”
“Why not go to worship the Goddess of Mercy first?”
Yuan Mengbai frowned, as skipping the worship would be disrespectful, not to mention going to buy food while doing so…
“No! I want to eat now! Don’t you care about our daughter’s hunger? Mengbai…”
Di Ruoning’s coquettish pleading made Yuan Mengbai feel as if his bones were melting.
“All right, wait here for me for a moment. I’ll be back soon.” After saying this, he quickly ran into the vegetarian canteen.
As soon as he left, Di Ruoning straightened up and saw Liu Sisi and Guihua walking from the main hall to the square, which immediately changed her expression.
She looked around anxiously but saw no one she was looking for.
Unable to wait any longer, she gritted her teeth and quickly rushed towards the direction of Liu Sisi and Guihua.
