Doctor Liu's father was a retired imperial physician, who had received favors from the late prince when he was in the Imperial Hospital. Doctor Liu inherited his father's legacy, and although he did not join the Imperial Hospital, he opened his own medical office. Because of his father's connections, he became a regular doctor in the Prince Shen's mansion.

Mrs. Hu asked someone to invite Doctor Liu to the west room, then she stood up and said to Xie Fen, "First check on our second daughter-in-law, then you can take Aunt Liu over." Then she turned around and called to Meng Wan, "Come on, you check first."

"Princess, I'm not in a hurry. Let Aunt Liu take a look first. If it's true, we have come so far, don't wait any longer. It will not be good for the child." Meng Wan said with a smile.

When Zhou Yingning heard about the child, she first glanced at Meng Wan's belly and asked nervously, "Child, who has a child?"

Mrs. Hu stopped Zhou Yingning who was about to stand up and follow them out, "Why are you asking about these things as a little girl? You and your second sister should just sit still."

Zhou Yinghan looked at Meng Wan with a worried look on his face, and gently stepped forward to ask, "Second sister-in-law, I see that you don't look well, but what's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm fine. I just want Doctor Liu to take a look. It's okay." Meng Wan patted Zhou Yinghan's hand and followed Hu out.

"Haha, what's that look? I advise you not to worship the wrong Buddha." Zhou Yingning said disdainfully to Zhou Yinghan, who had a worried face. "I tell you, when my marriage is settled, yours will be settled too. My mother has found two excellent families for you." Zhou Yingning emphasized the word "excellent".

Zhou Yinghan suddenly looked up and saw Zhou Yingning's smug look, his heart in his throat.

Several people entered the west room. There was a screen standing in the middle, and two figures could be vaguely seen, one sitting and one standing.

Mother Hong turned around the screen and said with a smile, "Thank you for troubling me, Doctor Liu."

Only a deep voice was heard, "What's the trouble? I should have gone to the mansion to check Ping An's pulse."

"Not necessary today. We'll just trouble Doctor Liu to take a look at our two women." Mrs. Hu said with a smile.

After saying that, he gestured to Xie Fen, who pulled Liu Ling, who was standing beside her, over and asked her to sit on a stool. Liu Ling stretched out her hand and placed it on the table beside the screen. Doctor Liu stretched out two fingers and gently placed them on her wrist.

After a while, he changed his hand, laughed, and said to Hu, "Congratulations, Princess, there will be a baby boy in your family."

Mrs. Hu and Xie Fen were both very happy. "Doctor Liu, what do you think of this baby?"

"Although it's not yet three months, the pulse is strong and powerful. I'll go back to the 'Fu Sheng Tang' and get two doses of medicine to stabilize the pregnancy."

Liu Ling was also very happy to hear this. She stood up shyly, bowed to Hu and Xie Fen to express her gratitude, and let the maid help her out.

Mrs. Hu also specifically instructed that a sedan chair be used to send the baby back.

Meng Wan walked forward and sat down. He stretched out his hand and gently pulled up his sleeve, revealing a section of his fair wrist.

Doctor Liu switched from his left hand to his right hand, and asked Meng Wan to stretch out his right hand and then his left hand, and did not speak for a long time.

Mrs. Hu asked nervously, "Doctor Liu, what's wrong? Is it not good?"

Doctor Liu shook his head and said, "Can I see your face?"

Xie Fen went to see Meng Wan, and Meng Wan nodded. Then the screen was pulled open, and Meng Wan looked at this man who looked to be in his forties, a little fat, with big eyes and a small mouth, which made him look very uncomfortable. He was frowning at her.

"Please stick out your tongue."

Meng Wan wanted to laugh, this scene seemed so real, but he forced himself to do as he was told.

After reading it, Doctor Liu shook his head and sighed, "Not good, not good. May I ask if your menstruation is irregular, light in color and small in quantity?"

Chuan'er stepped forward and said, "Yes, especially in the past few months."

"That's right. Oh, what should I do?"

Mrs. Hu stepped forward anxiously, "Doctor Liu, what happened? Please tell me quickly."

"To be honest, this noble lady must have been caught cold when she was young, which caused her body to be cold and damp. She has an extremely cold constitution, so it may be difficult for her to get pregnant."

"what?"

"how come?"

Hu and Meng Wan spoke at the same time, and Meng Wan stood up suddenly, "Impossible, before I got married, my mother hired a doctor to treat me."

Doctor Liu shook his head. "It's only a temporary solution. Your highness has had this coldness in her body for many years. After becoming a woman, she didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, she was overly worried and exhausted, so..."

"Is there any solution? What kind of medicine do I need to take?" asked Mrs. Hu.

"Even if you take medicine and treat it, it won't help for at least ten or eight years."

"What? Ten or eight years? This, this is not possible." Mrs. Hu took Meng Wan's hand, with a distressed look on her face, "Don't worry, we can ask Elder Gao from the 'Holy Women's Hall' to take a look. There will always be a way."

"Yes, yes, please ask Mr. Gao to come and take a look, and ask him to prescribe two prescriptions for us to try. But Mr. Gao hasn't returned since he met an old friend at the end of last year." Doctor Liu said.

Mr. Gao is the head of the "Fushengtang".

Meng Wan stood there blankly, not saying a word. Chuan'er supported Meng Wan and said, "Second Grandma, it's okay. Maybe I saw it wrong. Let's take medicine and recuperate slowly. There will be a cure." There was a cry in his voice.

Doctor Liu shook his head and said to Mrs. Hu, "This, this..."

Mrs. Hu suppressed her ecstasy and pretended to be sad. "Please, Doctor Liu, come over. I'm just asking you to help me with this matter..."

"Don't worry, Princess. I understand the rules. Don't worry, no one will know."

Mrs. Hu nodded and told Mother Hong to send Doctor Liu out.

Xie Fen looked at Meng Wan, who was still standing there in a daze, with tears streaming down her face. She suddenly felt distressed. This Hu was really cruel. She knew that Hu was going to attack Meng Wan, and she guessed all kinds of ways, but she never thought that Hu would be so cruel.

Xie Fen didn't believe that Meng Wan was born with this condition. If she had this problem, the wife of the prince of Huainan Marquis's mansion would not dare to marry her in. Some cold symptoms were certain. After all, she had such a background and suffered so much, but she was not infertile.

It seems that Hu Shi had already made some moves on Meng Wan a long time ago. She really had to plan carefully. Zhou Zheng hadn't even married yet, but Hu Shi had already started to clean up. If... Xie Fen didn't dare to think too much.

"Second Madam, Second Madam, please don't scare me." Chuan'er cried.

Mrs. Hu patted Meng Wan on the shoulder and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Maybe he saw it wrong. My eldest daughter-in-law, you should immediately arrange for someone to go to the 'Holy Temple of Women' to see if Mr. Gao has returned and ask when he will be back."

Qinghe Garden

When Chuntao reached for the fifth tamarind cake, Mother Fan clapped her hands vigorously and said, "What's wrong? How can you eat so much since the Chinese New Year? I see you've gained a lot of weight."

Mother Fan looked Chuntao up and down. "Tell me honestly, are you sick? A few years ago, there was a maid in the Third Miss's courtyard. Everyone thought she was fat and ate a lot. But by the time they realized something was wrong and sent for a doctor, it was too late."

Chun Tao smiled and said, "No, I'm not sick, I just want to eat something sour."

Mother Fan burst out laughing, "You still want to eat sour food. If people outside hear you, they will think you are pregnant."

Chuntao stared at Mother Fan without saying a word. After Mother Fan finished speaking and saw that no one responded, she looked up and saw Chuntao looking at her seriously. The air was suddenly filled with a condensed silence.

"Bang!" The sole of the shoe that Mother Fan was holding for Zhou Yuna fell to the ground.

"Chun Tao, are you crazy? Are you really pregnant?"

Chuntao nodded, but she was not afraid or ashamed. "Mother Fan, I wanted to tell you later, but now that the first month of the year has passed, my belly has started to grow and I will have to change into spring clothes soon. I am afraid I can't hide it anymore."

Mother Fan walked up to Chuntao, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Whose? How dare you? If other people knew about this, what would you do?"

From the moment Chuntao deliberately approached Mother Fan, she tried to please her, acted cleverly and coaxed Mother Fan into wanting to adopt Chuntao as her goddaughter.

Chuntao slowly knelt down, holding onto the table.

Mother Fan's eyelids twitched, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Forget it, don't be afraid, I won't tell anyone. Who is that man? Will he marry you? If possible, I will ask Second Madam to let you go and let him come to propose marriage."

Chun Tao raised her head, tears already on her face, "Mother Fan, he won't marry me."

"What? What should we do? You've been pregnant for a few months, but three months? Does your mother know? We need to find a reliable midwife to remove the fetus. It's better to spend more money and go to the 'Holy Church of Women'."

Chuntao shook her head and refused Mother Fan's offer to help her up. Instead, she kowtowed to Mother Fan.

Mother Fan was startled. "What are you doing?"

"Please, mom, make the decision for me."
