The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 297 - 189

"Is it true?"

This question made Mr. Wang frown.

Although he hadn’t been in the martial world for many years, he wouldn’t be unable to detect a slippery pulse, would he?

To ensure accuracy, he even went out of his way to check the pulse on the left hand.

"It’s a slippery pulse, without a doubt, more than two months," Mr. Wang said. "Congratulations, congratulations."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. Someone, take Mr. Wang to rest." Mrs. Xia’s reaction was unexpected: "Cheng’er, come with me."

Mrs. Xia took her son to the adjacent chamber.

"Cheng’er, what is going on?"

This matter was too strange.

Her son obviously couldn’t have children due to injuries sustained on the battlefield, yet now General’s wife Xiao Chunyu was pregnant.

It should have been a happy event, but such a hat cannot be worn unclearly.

"Mother...?"

Xia Guangcheng was also very anxious.

Back when the Wu family divorced his wife because Yu’er was physically injured after giving birth to Panpan, and both the midwife and the doctor said she couldn’t have any more children, yet now Yu’er was pregnant.

He was more frightened than delighted.

Is Yu’er’s health really okay?

He couldn’t bear the pain of losing Yu’er again.

If he had to choose between the child and Yu’er, he would choose Yu’er.

Therefore, he completely did not understand what the question posed by Mrs. Xia meant.

"Cheng’er, your body can’t have children, so whose child is Xiao Chunyu carrying?"

Mrs. Xia knew that with her son’s nature, he would never allow anything sordid to happen, so there was only one possibility: he permitted this. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Perhaps he did this to conceal the shame of being unable to have children.

However, as Mrs. Xia, she had the right to know the truth.

"Mother, what are you saying?"

Xia Guangcheng was amused by his mother’s words, "Your words not only insult Yu’er but also tarnish your son’s reputation."

"You mean to say this child is yours?"

"Of course it’s mine, you..."

"Didn’t you say your injury made it impossible for you to have children?"

At that moment, Mrs. Xia’s eyes became sharp.

So, had her son been lying to her all along?

"Yes, after being injured, several doctors said I couldn’t have children."

Seeing his mother’s change of expression, Xia Guangcheng realized in time, narrowly avoiding Yu’er’s undeserved blame!

He would fill in the pit he dug himself.

"After marrying Yu’er and seeing how adorable Panpan is, I longed to have children too, so I kept looking for Mr. Wang to use herbal medicines for treatment."

Xia Guangcheng quickly said, "I was afraid to disappoint you, so I never disclosed those details to you; I was also afraid to worry Yu’er, so I said nothing. I hope you will keep this a secret for your son."

"You mean to say..."

"Yes, I take the medicine prescribed by Mr. Wang every day, and it’s especially bitter and difficult to swallow, I..."

The expression showed deep agony.

What a shameful thing it is for a tall and strong man to be unable to father children.

Thus, he conducted everything quietly.

His old mother exposed his embarrassment; Xia Guangcheng forced his face to turn a liver color.

"Cheng’er, Mother wrongly accused you."

Mrs. Xia indeed believed him, deeply feeling pity for her son.

"Mother, I don’t mind, only I ask you not to have even the slightest suspicion of Yu’er. To produce heirs for the Xia family, she has been taking medicine secretly too, which the Xiao family’s second daughter sent from Shu City; she takes it every day, thinking I don’t know, but I’ve seen it all."

"This..."

Mrs. Xia hadn’t expected this child to come so arduously!

Moreover, both young spouses were striving for the same goal, both committed to preserving heirs for the Xia family.

As an elder, she shouldn’t be suspicious.

"Mother, Yu’er is pregnant, and her health is fragile, can you..."

"Okay, noted, from today onwards, I’ll handle the household affairs and let Yu’er focus on recovering."

"And Panpan..."

Xia Guangcheng was worried that because Xiao Chunyu was pregnant with his biological child, his mother might change her attitude toward Panpan.

"Your mother isn’t someone who doesn’t understand reason?" Mrs. Xia was amused, "You truly are a person who cherishes your wife, aren’t you?"

He wouldn’t let Xiao Chunyu suffer even a bit of grievance.

"This I learned from father," Xia Guangcheng said with a smile, "Father is also someone who cherishes his wife, it’s an excellent tradition of our Xia family."

"You, you..."

Mrs. Xia was successfully amused by her son’s words.

"Rest assured, Panpan will always be the eldest young lady of our Xia family, and no one can take this position."

"Thank you, Mother." Xia Guangcheng knew his mother was a woman of her word, "Having a grandmother like you who is reasonable is a blessing for Panpan, and also for me and Yu’er."
