Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 510 - 168 Nan Batian: Huang Wan’er, you couldn’t be

Nan Batian said, "How rare, what illness is it after all?"

Elder Liu said, "Pseudocyesis!"

"Ah?"

Nan Batian was montarily confused, and Elder Liu said, "This illness is extrely rare, its pulse almost identical to that of a joyful pregnancy, accompanied by vomiting, the person appears to be in considerable discomfort."

"Moreover, if you asked a hundred doctors, all of them would surely say she’s pregnant."

"In fact, it’s not the case. This is a result of external evils invading the body, leading to internal dryness. She needs proper care and nurturing, otherwise it could harm her health."

As Elder Liu spoke, he continued, "In a mont, I will give the lady a couple of acupuncture treatnts. After recuperating for a month or two, she should be able to recover completely. Of course, Gang Leader, if you don’t trust , you may consult other doctors. What I say could be inaccurate, after all."

"Ai~ No need, with Elder Liu’s diagnosis, there is nobody else in Mianshui County capable of diagnosing this illness anew."

"However, Elder Liu, can pseudocyesis also cause stomach pain?"

Elder Liu said, "You let her consu saffron, didn’t you?"

Nan Batian asked, "Shouldn’t eat it?"

Elder Liu said, "It’s edible, but not like this. You can’t just eat saffron like it’s rice!"

"The lady is already weak, to begin with; add to that the tornt of pseudocyesis. If you let her consu saffron like rice, not to even ntion a sick person, a healthy person couldn’t withstand it either!"

Hearing this, Nan Batian froze and promptly asked, "Does Elder Liu an she overate saffron?"

Elder Liu said, "Yes, saffron is warm in nature and the lady’s body is too weak to take such supplents. It’s lucky I arrived early; otherwise, it would have been a serious issue."

Nan Batian then said, "Elder Liu, please, save my wife."

Elder Liu replied, "Mm, Gang Leader, do not worry, I will use acupuncture to detoxify your wife."

After speaking, Elder Liu said, "Lady, please take off your outer garnt, there are two acupoints on your shoulder."

After Elder Liu left the room, Huang Wan’er changed into a camisole that left her shoulders exposed and then lay down on the bed.

At this ti, Elder Liu took out the acupuncture needles and inserted a few into Huang Wan’er’s shoulders and the back of her neck.

Very soon, Huang Wan’er felt the churning in her stomach settle, and the effects of the saffron seed to have worn off. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Batian watched for a while. Soon, a subordinate ca to report sothing, and Nan Batian stepped out. At that mont, Huang Wan’er asked, "Elder Liu, why are you helping ?"

Huang Wan’er herself knew that Elder Liu lied, helping her out this one ti, didn’t she?

Elder Liu said, "I had no choice but to repay a favor. Also, Chen Jiusi from White Tiger Hall asked to give you a ssage."

"Mm?"

Huang Wan’er was shocked, and Elder Liu said, "He says not to worry, he will soon co to take you away."

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er smiled bitterly, "Nan Batian guards like I’m a thief. And after this, it will beco even harder to earn his trust, how could I possibly get away?"

Elder Liu said nothing but continued, "Mm, alright, I have already expelled the dicinal properties of the saffron, the child is saved."

"Thank you, Elder Liu."

Huang Wan’er quickly expressed her gratitude, and Elder Liu continued, "Rember, if you feel any signs of pregnancy nausea, press on the Inner Acupoint to alleviate it."

"Inner Acupoint?"

Huang Wan’er was puzzled, and then Elder Liu pointed to a spot about two inches from the inside of his wrist and said, "Here, just gently rub this area and it will be better in a mont."

With that, Elder Liu stood up and said, "Well, I have finished my business here, I take my leave."

Elder Liu rose to depart, and Huang Wan’er said, "Elder Liu, please pass on a ssage to Chen Jiusi for ."

Elder Liu looked towards Huang Wan’er who said, "Tell him, never mind, forget it."

Huang Wan’er considered expressing all her feelings of helplessness and fear. She desperately needed a man’s strong shoulder to lean on, but she didn’t want to involve Chen Jie at this ti.

If it weren’t for the fact that she could not have gotten over this obstacle on her own, she wouldn’t even have wanted to tell Chen Jie that she was pregnant.

She even thought of having the child and then hiding away in so village where no one knew her, just to raise the child on her own.

Having witnessed life and parting through his years as a doctor, Elder Liu said no more and simply turned and left; he considered the favor he owed Bai Wenjing repaid.

Thus he departed without a second glance. Once outside, Nan Batian hurried over and, seeing Elder Liu, asked, "Elder Liu, Wan’er is alright, isn’t she?"

Elder Liu responded, "Mm, she is fine, but Gang Leader, you need to pay attention. She must rest quietly for the next two months and must not be disturbed. Also, her diet should be light, and she can’t treat supplents like saffron as regular food anymore."

"Understood, I get it."

Nan Batian humbly accepted the advice. Elder Liu said, "Mm, with that there’s no other matter."

After that, Elder Liu asked, "Does the Gang Leader have any other orders?"

Nan Batian hesitated, then asked, "Elder Liu, are you really certain she’s not pregnant?"

Elder Liu assured him, "Mm, I’m certain. Of course, I could misdiagnose, so the Gang Leader could also seek other doctors to check her pulse. However, the likelihood is they would only detect a joyful pulse, but in fact, it’s a deceitful one. Well, I have said all that needs to be said, the Gang Leader may try others if he wishes."

With that, Elder Liu nodded and departed, carrying his dicine chest.

Watching Elder Liu’s retreating figure, Nan Batian squinted his eyes and then instructed those around him, "Bring in a few well-known doctors from the city; we can’t just listen to Elder Liu alone."

"Yes."

The subordinate heard the order and imdiately went to invite other doctors.

anwhile, Elder Liu quickly left the Fishing Guild Headquarters and saw Chen Jiusi waiting in a nearby corner. Without speaking, he walked on for a while until Chen Jie caught up.

"Uncle Liu!"

Chen Jie greeted Elder Liu.

Elder Liu turned to face Chen Jie and said, "I’ve taken care of the task you entrusted to . Within these two months before her pregnancy becos visible, no one will suspect a thing."
