Hearing that the two grannies had been invited back, the matriarch's heart, which had only been half cold, immediately froze.
Granny Zhao waved her hand and dismissed the servant. Only then did she anxiously ask the matriarch: "Do you want to send a letter to master? With such a large matter happening, we need to ask master to come up with an idea. We also need to tell master about the situation in the capital. "
The matriarch let out a long sigh and nodded, "Go ahead and send a letter. Jin Yuan will definitely have someone at his side looking into the situation. It's just the family's situation. I really do not have any ideas." While she spoke, she pondered. After a while, she said: "Go take a look. How many of the medical plasters and pills that Heng Heng sent over are left?"
Granny Zhao complied and went to take a look. When she returned, she said to the matriarch: "There are still ten medical plasters and five pills."
"Only this much is left?"
"Only this much is left."
"… Forget it." The matriarch waved her hand, "Just this much is enough. After using it, invite a doctor from outside to take a look at my waist. In the future, when Tong Sheng pavilion sends medicine, don't accept it."
Granny Zhao sighed and nodded, "Thinking about it, it's a bit of a pity. Elder madam's waist should have been treated by second young miss for a while. It should have been completely healed."
"There's nothing to pity." The matriarch's face sank, "This matter is related to the Feng manor's safety. At this critical juncture, absolutely nothing must go wrong."
"Yes. This old servant has remembered. "
It had to be said that with Feng Yu Heng's situation, the matriarch's side was worried while Feng Fen Dai's side was happy.
The two grannies left, and Fen Dai did her best to catch up on sleep. She slept from noon until noon the next day. After waking up, she did not brush her hair or wash her face. The first thing she did was rush into Han shi's room. Grabbing her, she said: "Concubine mother, your chance has come!"
Han shi was stunned by what she said, "What chance?"
"The chance to make a comeback!" Fen Dai could not hide the joy on her face, as she analyzed for Han shi: "Feng Yu Heng has fallen and can no longer climb back up. Chen Yu is also a cripple. From this day forward, father can only rely on me for the daughters of the Feng manor."
An shi reminded her: "There is still third young miss and An shi."
"With An's temper, what are you afraid of?" Fen Dai's eyes became fierce, "Not to mention that she doesn't have the heart to fight for favor, but even if she did, she would not be able to win against you. Just focus on giving birth to a child and give birth to a fat little boy. Don't worry about anything else. In this Feng manor, the one who has the final say will sooner or later be someone from our courtyard. "
Fen Dai threw out these words then ran out like a gust of wind, leaving behind Han shi in a miserable state.
Give birth to a child peacefully? Where is the child?
She was not as optimistic as Fen Dai, nor was she as ignorant. After all, that child was only ten years old. There were many things that he did not understand. He just felt that if Feng Jin Yuan slept in her room for a night, she would be able to get pregnant, and it would definitely be a boy. How could there be such a thing in this world?
"A Ju." She asked the maidservant beside her, "Say, if we secretly invite a doctor into the manor, will there be any problems?"
Ah Ju jumped in fright and shook her head repeatedly. "Concubine Mother, you can't! These past few days, the manor has been very alert because of the second young miss' matter. If you invite a doctor at this time, it would be fine if you got pregnant, but what if … "
Han shi was startled. That's right, it would be fine if she got pregnant, but what if she did not get pregnant, would Fen Dai not strangle her to death?
"Then what should be done?" She was out of ideas and stood up to pace around the room.
It was A Ju that thought quickly and thought of an idea: "Hasn't the opera troupe still not left the manor? Concubine Mother, how about imitating the fourth young miss and having the opera troupe invite a doctor over. Just say that it is for them. "
Han shi's eyes lit up, "That is a good idea. Let's go. We will go now. "
A Ju quickly picked up a cloak and followed behind Han shi out of the courtyard. Upon arriving in the guest courtyard, she saw the people of the opera troupe tidying up their things.
She was startled and quickly entered the room to ask the handsome troupe leader: "Boss Yue, what are you doing?"
The handsome young man that had been called boss Yue was tidying up his costume. Upon seeing Han shi arrive, he quickly went forward and complained: "Concubine Mother, you finally came. If you did not come, this one would have left." Who knew if it was a habit of his profession, but boss Yue's eyes darted around when he spoke. The only thing missing was his eyes flying to Han shi's face.
Han shi originally enjoyed this move of his. If this was any other time, her face would have turned red long ago, and she would have returned with a similarly warm gaze. But today was no good. She had something on her mind, so how could she worry about anything else. She quickly gave A Ju a look, and A Ju understood her intentions. Raising her voice, she said to the people in the room: "Our concubine mother wants to speak with your troupe leader. You can all leave for now."
The people of the opera troupe looked at boss Yue and saw him nod. Only then did they put down what they were doing and leave the room. A Ju quickly went to close the door. Only then did Han shi say to boss Yue: "Let's not talk about anything else for now. I came today to ask you for a favor."
"Oh?" That person was startled, "What ability does this one have to help concubine mother Han?"
Han shi took a couple steps forward and got close to him. Lowering her voice, she said: "Can you use your opera troupe's name to invite a doctor into the manor for me?"
"Invite a doctor?" Boss Yue froze for a moment then shook his head: "If it was any other time, it would be possible, but it is not possible now. Just before noon today, the manor's elder madam sent someone over to have us pack up our things and leave the manor today. Even the money was paid."
"What?" Han shi furrowed her brow. The person that she had invited was sent away by the elder madam without even saying a word? Although she understood that as a concubine that was not even comparable to a maidservant, the elder madam did not need to greet her. But in front of boss Yue, she still felt a little embarrassed.
"This time, I fear that I will not be able to help concubine mother." Boss Yue regretfully cupped his hands, but he then used a very considerate voice to ask: "Are you not feeling well? The weather is cold in Winter. Did you catch a cold? " While saying this, he pinched Han shi's sleeve with his fingers and fingers. He then shook his head and said: "Your clothes are too thin. From your courtyard to here, it was not a short distance. Why did you not wear more?"
A Ju felt that boss Yue was overstepping his boundaries and very impolitely glared at him. When she retracted her gaze, she unexpectedly found that Han shi did not seem to be disgusted by his actions. Not only was she not disgusted, she even seemed to enjoy it. With a slightly red face, she raised her head to look at him and gently said: "It's still you who knows how to dote on people."
A Ju's heart tightened and she quickly lowered her head. The words that she had wanted to scold boss Yue were swallowed back down.
"Women should be doted on." Boss Yue's gaze began to wander.
Fortunately, Han shi still had some sense and knew what she had come for. Under his gaze, she finally calmed down and quickly asked: "Can you help me think of a way? I am in urgent need of a doctor. "
Boss Yue pondered a little then said: "It's not like there is no way. How about this, I will use the excuse that there are too many things and see if I can get the Feng manor's gatekeeper to agree to bring in two people."
"That's a good idea!" Han shi became happy. At the same time, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out a banknote: "This is for you. Use it to invite a doctor. The rest can be used for tea."
Boss Yue did not look at the denomination and directly put it into his pocket. He then patted Han shi's shoulder before walking out.
Seeing him leave, A Ju finally let out a sigh of relief and quickly reminded Han shi: "Concubine mother, this servant feels that boss Yue does not seem like a proper person. Concubine mother, it would be best if concubine mother stayed away from him."
Han shi glared at A Ju: "What do you understand? Right now, aside from him, who else can help me? Either way, he will be leaving the manor. After this matter is taken care of, nobody will recognize him. What are you afraid of? "
A Ju thought about it and agreed. Han shi had been raised in the manor, and boss Yue was nothing more than a street performer. They would never see each other again, so there was no need to be afraid.
Thus, she did not say anything else and only nodded. She sat down with Han shi to wait for news.
Boss Yue also returned to the room to wait with them. During this time, the two chatted for a while. Every word was filled with affection, which caused A Ju's face to burn.
After roughly two hours, the person that had been sent out returned. Han shi saw a man in his forties carrying a wooden chest. He had a scholarly aura and knew that this was definitely a doctor that had snuck into the manor, thus she quickly gave boss Yue a look. She then quickly walked around the screen and went into the inner room.
Boss Yue understood and sent the servants out. Only A Ju and the doctor were left in the room. Even he himself went into the yard to wait.
Only then did A Ju lead the doctor to the side of the bed in the inner room and heard Han shi say: "Today, I invited the doctor into the manor to ask you to diagnose my pregnancy pulse."
The doctor nodded and sat down on a stool next to the bed. He calmly said: "This one has practiced medicine for 20 years and has seen too many things. Today, being invited into the Feng manor, I know that there is definitely an illness that requires a private examination. Don't worry, Madam. Although whether or not there is a pregnancy pulse is not up to this humble one to decide, this humble one can guarantee that after leaving this room, this humble one will keep my mouth shut about today's matter. No matter what, this humble one will not reveal half a word. "
Han shi was very satisfied with this doctor's understanding. Nodding, she said: "As long as the doctor can do this, I will not treat you unfairly."
The doctor also nodded and did not say anything else. Taking out a silk handkerchief, he placed it on Han shi's wrist and began to feel her pulse.
Han shi's nervousness had already reached its peak. Although she already knew that there was an 80-90% chance that she would not be pregnant, she still had that tiny bit of hope in her heart.
Unfortunately, the doctor only felt for a while before shaking his head, telling her: "Madam, there is no pregnancy."
Han shi's heart immediately froze. A Ju became anxious to the side and repeatedly said to the doctor: "Do it properly again. Do it again."
The doctor helplessly did it again then shook his head, "This one has practiced medicine for 20 years. How could I not be able to diagnose a pregnancy pulse? If there is no pregnancy, there is no pregnancy. "Thinking a little more, he asked:" When was madam's period last month? "
Han shi replied: "The sixth."
"The sixth …" He pondered for a while then said: "Then these two days are the best time to conceive. Madam, please make some preparations."
"Forget it." Han shi waved her hand. Feng Jin Yuan had already left the capital. So what if it was the best time. "A Ju, give the doctor some money."
Chrysanthemum reluctantly took out two silver ingots from her cuff and handed them over. At the same time, she exhorted, "Doctor, you must remember your promise. Once you leave this room, you must keep your mouth shut. You must not reveal a single word to a fourth person."
The doctor received the silver and nodded, "Naturally." He then stood up and saluted to Han shi then turned and left.
Han shi sat up in bed and was a little absent-minded. A Ju consoled her: "Concubine mother is still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. We can think about it at length. Wait for master …" As she spoke, she could not continue. Having spent all her time at Han shi's side, she naturally knew that Han shi was not worried that she would not be able to conceive master's child. Instead, she was worried that the fourth young miss would go crazy if she found out!
Han shi buried her head in her knees, and tears began to fall from her eyes. She faintly heard someone walking around. She thought it was A Ju; however, at this time, a hand was suddenly placed on her shoulder. A voice rang out next to her ear. It was a man's voice, as he said: "If concubine mother wants to have a child, this one has an excellent method."
