Chapter 411: comfort
Chapter 411 Relief
After returning to the capital for the past few days, Ruan Youqing has been living in the Ruan Mansion.
It wasn't until the second day after Gu Changan and her proposed to ask the imperial doctor in the palace to see her that the two packed their bags and officially returned to Gu's residence.
Although Gu Changan finally found out about this matter, for his parents, Ruan Youqing still felt that it would be safer to wait until it was confirmed.
Recently, Mrs. Ning Guogong did not go to live in Quanling Villa for an unprecedented time.
When Ruan Youqing came back, she first came to Gu's mansion to greet her, and then lived in Ruan's mansion for a few days with peace of mind.
Going back to the Gu Mansion this day, Mrs. Ning Guogong has already arranged servants to prepare food and drink for her.
Gu Changan accompanied the two of them to have a conversation and then left to do something. Ruan Youqing continued to accompany Mrs. Ning Guogong and his wife to talk about what happened to them in Canglong Kingdom.
After hearing how shady Gu Yuandao was and how he was the real murderer of Gu Changan's parents, Ruan Youqing saw for the first time Mrs. Ning Guogong's... fierce side.
Although Gu Yuandao is dead now, Mrs. Ningguo looks like she wants to bring him back to life and torture him to death again.
Seeing Mrs. Ning Guogong's reaction so violently, Ruan Youqing comforted with a face of self-blame: "Grandmother, don't be angry... If you are too angry, your body is the most important thing. If you are angry again... I am afraid that Chang An will be killed when he comes back. Those who blame Youqing, after all, blame Youqing...for mentioning this to you..."
Mrs. Ning Guogong patted her chest lightly. After hearing Ruan Youqing's words, she immediately shook her head and said:
"Silly girl, don't take everything on yourself. How can that child Chang An be willing to blame you, baby, and ah...he mentioned it in a letter to me before, but he didn't say it in detail. So even if you don't Tell me, when Chang An comes back, he will take the time to talk to me again. Besides, I am not angry that I killed the wrong person, but I am angry that I was blinded by the scum in the gutter like Gu Yuandao I've been playing tricks for so many years! Especially...he's the kind of person who blackmails women!"
Ruan Youqing gently patted Mrs. Ning Guogong on the back to comfort her, and at the same time echoed: "Yes, this is the first time for Youqing to know that there are such... dark and terrifying people. Even, even yourself The married couple can get along. At the beginning, he kept saying that it was because his wife colluded with others. But later... We heard from his younger brother that his wife did not secretly communicate with others. But what he saw...was just his wife asking a doctor how to rectify his body with excessive fire. The person with strong fire...of course it was Gu Yuandao. But he, because of his dark thoughts about women, imagined his own... Madame betrayed him. Then... killed her with her own hands..."
Speaking of this, Ruan Youqing felt a little uncomfortable.
For a person like Gu Yuandao, no matter how many times he dies, it is not enough to vent his anger.
Not to mention Mrs. Ning Guogong, she angrily asked the maids to cook some lotus seeds and white fungus soup, saying that she wanted to defeat the fire.
Ruan Youqing saw that Mrs. Ning Guogong was really angry, so she quickly changed the topic elsewhere.
Fortunately, when it comes to other things, Mrs. Ning Guo's anger... quickly dissipated.
…
Before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Because Gu Changan said in advance that he didn't have to wait for him to eat together at noon, so after Ruan Youqing waited for Mrs. Ning Guogong to sit down, the maids brought delicious dishes and placed them in front of them.
Having just drank some lotus seed and white fungus soup, Ruan Youqing is actually not too hungry. I had a big appetite before, but these days, somehow, I have no appetite.
This appetite sometimes goes up and down, and Ruan Youqing wants to let it go whenever he gets lazy.
But at this moment, Mrs. Ning Guogong stretched out her hand with great interest and pushed a dish that Ruan Youqing had never seen before, and then said with a smile: "This is a dish that I... read in an ancient book , called eggplant.”
「Eggplant?」
"Yes, fan, hurry up and give it to your master to taste."
After Mrs. Ning Guogong’s words fell, Fan quickly answered and put some cloth in the small plate in front of Ruan Youqing.
Mrs. Ningguo did not have the rule of keeping her mouth shut, so after she took a bite, she continued to introduce this dish: "This eggplant, although it may be made of eggplant, is actually very complicated. First, go to Dice the skin, then pass through the chicken oil, combine with the fresh diced bamboo shoots, various fungi and dried fruits, then simmer it in chicken broth, and finally mix it with sesame oil. It can be said to be very fragrant!"
Ruan Youqing was finally whetted by Mrs. Ning Guogong's words, so she picked up the chopsticks and put a little bit into her mouth.
The aroma of various ingredients melts on the tip of the tongue.
But Ruan Youqing couldn't stop his stomach churning after swallowing, and suddenly retched.
Fan'er hastily patted Ruan Youqing's back.
Mrs. Ning Guogong also stood up quickly and walked to Ruan Youqing to check on her situation.
"I'm sorry grandma...Youqing..." Before she could speak clearly, there was another retching sound.
Mrs. Ning Guogong was originally worried, but after seeing Ruan Youqing's expression, she was moved in her heart.
"Youqing... you can't be..." The joy of Mrs. Ning Guogong is beyond words.
Ruan Youqing felt a little more comfortable after drinking the warm water handed by Faner, so he said embarrassedly:
"Grandmother... Youqing... I don't know if it is... because although Youqing Guishui has been coming, but the doctors I went to said that I didn't feel the slippery pulse... So..."
Mrs. Ning Guogong was still smiling, and ordered the servant to remove the dish, and immediately comforted her gently:
"Don't worry, girl. It's normal for some people who are pregnant to be unable to find out in the early stage. Especially now you can only rely on the pulse... Well, in a word, don't worry too much about it, otherwise it will affect your body. Whether it is or not, As you just told me, your body is also important."
Feeling that Mrs. Ningguo thought of herself wholeheartedly, Ruan Youqing said warmly in her heart: "With your grandmother's love, Youqing will definitely cherish her body."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and after Ruan Youqing's discomfort just subsided completely, Mrs. Ning Guogong ordered some nutritious, light and delicious dishes to be served again.
After the two had eaten and drank their fill and strolled around the Gu mansion hand in hand for a few laps, Gu Changan finally came back.
However, there are two unfamiliar faces behind him.
"Doctor Yang?" Mrs. Ning Guogong looked at the visitor in surprise.
Gu Chang'an smiled slightly, and introduced gently to Ruan Youqing: "I invited these two from the palace. One is the deputy court envoy, Cui Yuyi, and the other is Yang Yuyi, who has retired from his official post. If Ri hadn't returned to his hometown, I might have invited him here as well."
Ruan Youqing knew it well, in the palace, when the concubines were feeling unwell, the most frequent go-to was Imperial Physician Yang.
There is no shortage of women in the palace, and to win the favor of those concubines, Imperial Physician Yang is really capable.
So... he should be able to diagnose whether he is pregnant or not...
