Chapter 181 – A bowl of medicine (2)

Ji Man pursed her lips, rubbed the spot between her eyebrows, and mockingly smiled. “My lord, this servant of yours has an att.i.tude that's more overbearing than me, your main wife.”

Ning Yuxuan also felt that Wen Wan's behavior was slightly inappropriate. However, he didn't remark on it. Looking at Nie Sangyu's slightly pale face, “You really do look a bit unwell today. It's not a big deal if someone comes over to check your medicine.”

But, what if the doctor noticed that this medicine was for pregnant women? How could she explain it away then? Say that another doctor had given her the wrong prescription? Ji Man felt extremely panicky. She hadn't found the opportune time to announce her pregnancy yet. What would happen if Marquis Moyu found out about it now?

Tightly clutching the bed sheet, Ji Man took a deep breath, did her best to calm herself down, and quickly tried to think of a countermeasure for dealing with this situation.

Wen Wan's speed was certainly quick enough. It had only taken her a short period of time to bring back Doctor Liu. She pointed at the bowl of medicine and told him to examine it.

Ji Man had already prepared herself for admitting that she was pregnant. At worst, she would just have to be more guarded against Marquis Moyu in the future. Anyways, once the truth was revealed, she would still have Old Madame to protect her. There was no reason for her to be so scared.

However, after Doctor Liu looked at the medicine for a while as well as tasted it, he surprisingly said, “This is indeed the medicine for making menstruation cycles more regular. One of the ingredients in here, saffron, is especially good for treating this type of problem.

Wen Wan and Ji Man frowned at the same time.

Wen Wan frowned because she had thought there was something strange about Nie Sangyu's behavior today, which was why she had rushed to bring a doctor over here to look. Thus, she was very surprised to hear that it really was medicine for menstruation.

As for Ji Man, she was looking at Dengxin. Dengxin didn't show any reaction when she heard the doctor's words. She hadn't known what this medicine was for to begin with. She even felt somewhat enlightened. So, Madam had asked Doctor Li to give her a prescription for menstruation medicine. No wonder, Madam hadn't let her stay to listen to their conversation. This really was a private matter.

While checking Dengxin's expression, Ji Man felt shocked and scared. She had asked for medicine that would help stabilizing her pregnancy. How could this medicine contain saffron?! Fortunately, she hadn't drunk the medicine earlier. Otherwise, would the baby in this body still be alive?

However, Dengxin's confused expression made Ji Man feel bad about suspecting her. Doctor Li had definitely given the medicine to her. So, did Doctor Li want to harm her, or had the packet of medicine between replaced by someone at some point?

Ji Man's expression became worse.

Marquis Moyu actually didn't think too much about her peculiar behavior. He waved his hand and said, “Since you're not feeling well, then drink more medicine to nourish your body. I'll have Steward Qian send over some nouris.h.i.+ng herbs to you later. Look at this medicine, it doesn't even have any remnants of ginseng.”

Ji Man just blankly nodded.
