Unlike the first physician, the old man didn’t get angry at being questioned. He merely bowed and left.

Jiang Ning yawned, feeling a little sleepy.

It was still quite early in the morning.

Concubine Hua shocked herself out of her disbelief. She looked at the young girl a few times and smiled, “What does the Seventh Young Lady think?”

“Not good,” Jiang Ning sighed. “I’m so nauseated, I can’t wake up, and I always want to go to the toilet.”

Concubine Hua frowned.

These were clearly the symptoms of pregnancy.

But putting things into a more logical point of view, with so many symptoms, even if the young girl wasn’t pregnant, she could still be sick from some other illness. ‘Why did the doctor say that the girl had a weak stomach and was tired?’

It must be because that old man’s eyes were blurry, and his medical skills were poor!

Concubine Hua was unwilling to give up. As she exited the Seventh Lady’s room, she immediately used all her connections to invite an Imperial physician from the palace.

Although the Imperial physicians were supposed to treat the noble people in the palace, they would still come if the noble families from the outside invited them. Mainly for two reasons: One, because they can’t refuse, and two, who wouldn’t turn away from earning more money?

Jiang Ning slept in her fragrant room for the entire afternoon. Concubine Hua couldn’t wait to bring the Imperial physician to her courtyard as soon as she heard that the Seventh Lady woke up.

Jiang Ning was touched and said sincerely, “Concubine Hua really treats me better than my own parents. I’ll definitely repay you when I’m successful in the future!”

Concubine Hua laughed dryly, quickly dismissing the child’s sweet compliments. “We’re all family, and you’re the only legitimate daughter from our Madam. If I don’t care about you, who else should I care about?”

“That’s true.” Jiang Ning yawned and reached out her hand. “Doctor, please. I still need to sleep for a while after I’m done.”

The imperial physician hurriedly came over to take her pulse. After a long time, he smiled kindly, “Young lady’s body is fine, but she is still a little weak and needs to pay attention to what she eats. Why don’t I give you a prescription that nourishes Chi and blood?” He said.

It was the same result again.

“Who would want such a thing?” Concubine Hua exploded. Her patience quickly diminished as she didn’t get the answer she wanted.

Probably already used to this kind of treatment, the imperial physician wasn’t offended and merely left the residence happily.

He was still getting paid anyway. Why would he get mad?

Jiang Ning was also confused, but since she wasn’t a medical expert, she wouldn’t be able to diagnose herself. There really wasn’t anything else she could do. Seeing Concubine Hua’s frustrated face, she smiled and said, “Concubine Hua, if you are still worried, can you find a few more doctors with excellent medical skills? I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone who’ll be able to find out what kind of sickness I have.”

“What? Oh, no, no.” Aunt Hua quickly waved her hands. “The Seventh Lady’s body is fine, and I am also pleased that there wasn’t anything serious to the Seventh Lady’s health.”

Feeling tired from talking, Jiang Ning didn’t reply. She let out a listless yawn instead.

All these check-ups were making her feel tired and sleepy.

Seeing this, Concubine Hua’s face was slightly flushed. She was embarrassed that this girl had managed to make her run around like some sort of servant. The woman still forced a smile when she said, “Since the Young Lady is fine, then I should wish you a good rest,” She said.

Then she left in a huff.

…

Later that evening, Jiang Ruobai called the whole family to have dinner together.

The main course was a small yet fat sheep.

Jiang Ruobai personally cut the fattest piece for Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning spat it out after taking a bite.

Concubine Hua and Jiang Yuan curled their lips at the same time.

‘Pretending again.’

‘Bah!’

But Jiang Ning vomited so badly this time that she almost vomited out all the bile from her stomach.

Lin Zizi was very worried and requested Jiang Ruobai to find another doctor.

Concubine Hua quickly interjected with a slightly eccentric tone, “There’s no need to worry, Madam. The Young lady’s stomach is weak, and she was advised not to eat meat. I have already invited the imperial physician from the palace to diagnose her.”

“But she looks fatigued,” Lin Zizi said.

“She’s probably just lazy,” Jiang Yuan’s voice was neither loud nor soft. “I heard that there are many lazy girls who grew up in the countryside.”

Jiang Ruobai glared at her but decided to ignore the Fifth Lady and instead then focused his attention on Jiang Ning. “Are you not used to living in the manor? Maybe you can ask your brother to take you out for some fresh air tomorrow,”

“Brother?”

“Third Brother is coming back?” Jiang Yuan asked excitedly.

At the mention of her only son, Jiang Ruobai was also very happy. “Tomorrow, the Academy will be closed for the holidays. I’ve already asked someone to send a message telling him that his Seventh Sister has returned. Your Third Brother will see you tomorrow.”
