Although it was a dirty dress she would no longer wear, after all, it belonged to a young lady from the Jiang Family; it couldn’t just be carelessly discarded to someone else.
“Seventh Sister,” Jiang Yi walked in, followed by a rather young doctor, “The elder doctor here has gone out for consultations. Let him check your pulse first. If there’s nothing serious, we can go back home and seek the Imperial Physician’s opinion.”
Jiang Ning took a glance at the young doctor, her heart stirred slightly.
Her departure this time was precisely to seek medical advice. Now, it seems quite convenient.
Not only did she rescue Xiaoqian by chance, but someone also agreed to cover her medical expenses.
After expressing gratitude to Jiang Yi, she extended her hand to let the doctor examine her pulse.
The doctor was young, but his attitude was very serious. Facing the beautiful young lady from the affluent family, he didn’t dare to look up, sitting upright and seriously taking her pulse.
However, after a while, he slightly furrowed his brow and even involuntarily glanced up at Jiang Ning.
This glance was somewhat profound.
Jiang Yi noticed it and couldn’t help feeling a bit unhappy.
This doctor lacked proper etiquette.
Just as he was about to reprimand and dismiss the doctor, the doctor spoke first: “I have a few words I would like to say to the young lady privately. May I ask if Sir can leave us alone?”
“What did you say?” Jiang Yi frowned.
“Third Brother,” Jiang Ning hastily said, “Since the doctor has mentioned this, there must be a reason. You and Sixth Sister can wait by the door. If anything happens, I will call.”
Seeing she insisted, Jiang Yi reluctantly agreed, exiting with Jiang Yan.
With no one else in the room, the young doctor whispered: “How have you been feeling recently, young lady?”
“Dizzy, nauseous, constantly wanting to sleep.”
“I see.”
“Doctor, what’s wrong with me?”
“Please don’t be scared when I tell you, Young Lady. You are…pregnant.”
“Oh, are you sure?”
Her expression was very calm, as though she had expected this, which somewhat surprised the doctor.
The doctor stood up and said: “I have been studying medicine with my grandfather for ten years. Although I have not started practicing medicine formally, I can confirm that this is the pulse of pregnancy. You are already two months pregnant.”
Jiang Ning quickly said: “Can you prescribe me some abortion medicine? Look, I’m not even married yet. If I keep this child, I will be ostracized.”
“Ah? This…” The doctor’s young face showed some difficulty, “Truthfully, I am still an apprentice now and don’t have the authority to prescribe medicine. Besides, this kind of medicine isn’t something anyone can freely prescribe. It requires official certification. Otherwise, one could be arrested.”
The Imperial Court encourages childbirth and does not permit random abortions.
Jiang Ning sighed, tears streaming down her face: “When I go back and my parents find out, they will surely have me killed. Doctor, good favours will be rewarded. Saving a life earns more merit than building a seven-story pagoda. Please help me, I will give you too taels of silver!”
This was not a small sum of money.
But the doctor still shook his head: “I really can’t get the medicine. Every prescription in the shop has to be personally reviewed by my grandfather.” “Where is your grandfather then?”
“My grandfather has gone for a consultation and should be back now.”
“Please call your grandfather here.”
“Alright, please wait a moment, young lady.”
The young doctor lifted the curtain and walked out, inviting the elder doctor with a white beard to come in.
The old doctor with white hair and beard glanced at Jiang Ning’s face a few times before taking her pulse.
After finishing the examination, he said: “The young lady is healthy. She is just a little bit cold. You just need to take some warming medicine.”
Jiang Ning looked at the young doctor and laughed: “Old sir, your grandson didn’t say the same thing just now. He said I was pregnant..”
