ng Junci walked in with a woman.
The woman looked very young, rather ordinary, but she had a smooth gait, following closely behind ng Junci, her gaze steady and straight ahead, giving an impression of honesty.
Ji Yunya glanced briefly before withdrawing her gaze.
"Yun Ya, do you rember our agreent from that day?" ng Junci fixed her eyes on Ji Yunya’s face, worried that she had gone to the hospital for a check-up over the past few days. But there was no news, so it seed she hadn’t.
Yun Ya smiled and said, "Of course, I rember. Thank you for still thinking of ."
"You will soon be my sister-in-law, so it’s only right for to care about you." As she spoke, she pulled the girl forward and introduced her: "Her na is Ying Chen, a dical student, who is doing very well in her studies and is currently gaining experience under an old traditional Chinese dicine doctor. She also helps diagnose patients herself. Don’t be fooled by her youth; she already has rich experience in clinical practice. Considering your status, to avoid any gossip, I’ve brought her here."
Yun Ya held her hand gratefully, saying, "Your consideration is so thorough."
Indeed, very thorough, Yun Ya thought with a cold sneer.
Ying Chen glanced at Yun Ya, astonished by the girl’s stunning looks, and said in a low voice, "Miss, shall we begin?"
Yun Ya smiled and nodded, sat down, extended her right hand, and rolled up her sleeve to reveal her fair wrist.
Ying Chen sat down and placed her hand on the pulse point.
ng Junci watched nervously, hoping it wouldn’t be what she feared.
Ying Chen furrowed her brows, looking up at Yun Ya: "May I ask how your appetite has been these past few days, Miss?"
Yun Ya placed one hand on her chest, frowning, "I can’t eat anything, especially greasy food—just the sight makes nauseous." Saying this made her retch and rush to the corner to vomit into the trash can, emptying everything she had eaten in the morning.
Ying Chen quickly glanced at ng Junci, giving her a gesture.
ng Junci’s face went pale; her hand clenched into a fist under her sleeve, glaring at Ji Yunya’s back, wanting to bore a hole through her.
Yun Ya stood up, patting her chest, her cheeks pale, yet still breathtakingly beautiful: "I really don’t know what’s going on recently. Miss Ying, am I seriously ill?" She finished with a tearful tone, "You have to tell the truth, regardless of the outco, I can take it."
"Yes, what’s wrong with Yun Ya’s health? Just say it." ng Junci was racked with hatred; if she really were pregnant, how could...
Ying Chen pressed her lips together and said, "Miss’s health is not seriously troubled; it’s due to excessive internal damp-heat causing chronic gastritis. I’ll prescribe so herbal dicine to be taken with warm water; it will heal in a few days. Additionally, Miss should maintain a light diet, avoiding oily, greasy foods...."
Yun Ya was relieved: "I was scared to death; I thought I was pregnant... If I got pregnant now, Brother Yan and I would have to get married, which would be terrible for my reputation, considering my young age."
ng Junci’s heart skipped a beat as she forced a smile: "Yes, shotgun marriages aren’t well-regarded, especially for a family like the Yan Family. It’s good it was just a false alarm."
Yun Ya grabbed her hand: "Ah Ci, I’m really grateful to you."
ng Junci gritted her teeth, smiling: "Do we really need to say thanks between us?"
Ying Chen wrote the prescription and handed it to Yun Ya, looking into the girl’s deep eyes. For so reason, she felt uneasy, so she quickly averted her gaze.
"Take good care, and I’ll co see you again when I’m free." ng Junci said, leaving with Ying Chen.
Yun Ya watched them go, casually tossing the prescription into the trash can, a mocking smirk playing on her lips.
Pregnancy during nstruation is indicated by a slippery pulse. Adding her deliberate guidance, it naturally led the other to believe she was pregnant. Fool...
Ah Yun walked in, asking, "Miss, why did you want Miss ng to think you were pregnant? Aren’t you afraid she’ll spread it and damage your reputation?"
She didn’t understand what the Miss was planning. Miss and Young Master Song had monts of passion but never reached that final step. Moreover, with Miss’s recent nstruation, it was impossible for her to be pregnant.
Yun Ya’s lips curved: "She won’t say a word about it; on the contrary, she’ll keep it tightly under wraps."
Ah Yun frowned, quickly figuring it out: "Miss ng covets Young Master Yan. If she knew Miss were pregnant, Miss would definitely marry Young Master Yan, leaving her no chance. She’ll then target Miss’s belly next... But... what does this prove?" Ah Yun was more puzzled.
