Tang Qizheng said awkwardly, "How could that be? I'm perfectly fine. To be honest, I stay in my wife's room every night and never leave her alone!"
Zhan Yan was stunned: "Isn't she pregnant?"
Tang Qizheng's face was full of mystery: "It's okay, her pregnancy is very safe, and she's capable, and she can make me very happy every night!"
Zhan Yan's face looked solemn and ugly. If he had not been an experienced person, he would have been fooled by this sentence.
He once heard Lin Yiwan say that even the most stable fetus could not withstand the tossing and turning every night.
Unless, Tang Qizhen was deceived.
Thought it was her!
Thinking of this, he insisted even more on having Lin Xiaoruan take Tang Qizheng's pulse.
Tang Qizhen couldn't stand him and could only stretch out his wrist.
Lin Xiaoruan knew that she had a heavy responsibility, so she was particularly careful when taking the patient's pulse.
However, from the surface, Tang Qizhen's body was indeed fine.
His pulse is steady, and he must be in a very vigorous state.
But when she looked up and saw the bruises under Tang Qizhen's eyes, she subconsciously frowned.
Perhaps because she took too long to take his pulse, Tang Qizhen became a little impatient.
He exhaled foul air, "Miss Lin, haven't you finished your diagnosis yet? I'm a commander, but you're forcing me to accuse me of a bunch of problems and make Marquis Zhan Yi worry about me!"
Lin Xiaoruan quickly said, "No, I just think it's a little strange that the commander is so strong!"
Tang Qizheng was amused. He tilted his head and said, "Little girl, don't you think I'm strong enough? I'm not that old. I'm only a few years older than your brother-in-law!"
Lin Xiaoruan let go of his wrist and shook her head gently at Zhan Yan.
Zhan Yan was also mentally prepared. He thought it would be impossible to find out all at once.
He laughed and said, "Keep drinking!"
After three rounds of drinks, they felt like they were back on the battlefield together, feeling very happy.
Lin Xiaoruan got up and left. When she came to the eaves outside, she saw Tang Mingxuan standing solemnly.
The cold wind blew, revealing his unusually thin figure.
He took the initiative to speak: "Little soft girl!"
Lin Xiaoruan nodded: "Well, Mr. Tang, I just took your father's pulse. From the looks of it, he's in very good health!"
Tang Mingxuan smiled bitterly: "I guessed this would be the result. To be honest, I even secretly asked a doctor to come to the mansion to check his pulse, but he couldn't find any clues!"
Lin Xiaoruan felt very sorry for him. She thought with inferiority, if her sister came, would she be able to see what was wrong?
She subconsciously asked, "Mr. Tang, is there anything unusual about your father?"
Tang Mingxuan asked blankly: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiaoruan explained: "For example, have you seen him taking medicine frequently?"
Tang Qizheng shook his head. "No, he never takes medicine. His face is always rosy. Earlier, when he was sparring with a soldier in the barracks, he punched him and made him spit blood!"
Lin Xiaoruan was stunned when she heard this. Isn't he too strong?
But that's not right. Strength is mutual. If he hits someone, his hand must be injured. How could he not feel any pain?
Tang Mingxuan saw her confusion and immediately explained, "My father seems to have a very weak perception of pain. Even if he was cut by a knife, he would only frown slightly!"
Lin Xiaoruan's heart was beating like thunder. She deduced from Tang Mingxuan's few words that Commander Tang was in the state after taking the Five Stones Powder.
She had heard from her elder sister that this was a strange drug that could overdraft a person's physical strength.
He looks very powerful on the surface, but in fact he is hollow inside.
If he stops taking it, he will turn into a puddle of mud.
Noticing her expression suddenly turn grim, Tang Mingxuan couldn't help but ask with concern, "Miss Xiaoruan, what's wrong with you? Is it because the weather in Suzhou is so cold that you're not used to it?"
After saying this, he took off his cloak.
He said somewhat embarrassedly: "If you don't mind, you can wear it to keep warm first, and then I will take you shopping to buy new ones tomorrow?"
Lin Xiaoruan immediately smiled: "Mr. Tang, you are too polite. How could I dislike your kindness?"
Just as she was about to take it, she heard a complaining voice suddenly come over: "Mr. Mingxuan, how dare you let a distinguished guest wear old clothes like this?"
Lin Xiaoruan looked over curiously and saw a woman in scarlet brocade walking towards her. Her pregnant belly was prominent, which made her look even more charming.
She quickly saluted and said, "It's Mrs. Tang!"
Mrs. Tang glared at Tang Mingxuan in disapproval, "Ah Xuan, don't you understand the principle of avoiding suspicion? Miss Lin is still an unengaged young girl, how can she wear your cloak?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Tang Mingxuan's face. He really couldn't be respectful to this stepmother who was not much older than him.
He could only say, "I was inconsiderate. I'll send someone to buy new clothes for Miss Lin right away!"
Mrs. Tang interrupted without hesitation: "No need, I have already prepared it for her. You go in and accompany Marquis Zhan Yi with your father first, and I will entertain Miss Lin!"
"This!" Tang Mingxuan looked embarrassed.
Mrs. Tang couldn't help but frown: "Why? You don't trust me?"
Lin Xiaoruan didn't want Tang Mingxuan to argue with Madam Tang because of her, so she quickly said, "Mr. Tang, think about telling my brother-in-law to send someone to Madam Tang's courtyard to pick me up after his banquet!"
"Okay, I will!" Tang Mingxuan then turned and went into the house.
Lin Xiaoruan followed Madam Tang into her luxuriously decorated courtyard and heard her say enthusiastically, "I've already ordered some hot water to be prepared for you, young lady. You must be exhausted from the long journey. Go soak in the bathtub in the inner room first to relieve your fatigue!"
Lin Xiaoruan quickly refused: "No, it will be the same if we go to the guest house to wash later!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid suddenly walked up to her with a soup plate and bumped into her.
The reddish-brown soup spilled all over her clothes, instantly emitting a pungent smell.
Madam Tang's expression suddenly changed. She angrily scolded, "Slut, how can you do things? Miss Lin is a noble lady, how dare you offend her?"
The little maid knelt on the ground in fear and kowtowed: "Miss Lin, please calm down. This servant did not mean to do that. Can you let me help you clean up the dirt on your clothes?"
Lin Xiaoruan immediately understood that this must be Mrs. Tang's method.
But she was very curious, why did she have to take a shower and change clothes by herself?
Thinking of this, she said calmly: "It's okay, your wife also asked me to take a shower and change clothes, I'm afraid I have to disturb her!"
Mrs. Tang immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Don't disturb me, Miss Lin, please come in!"
She brought Lin Xiaoruan into the inner room, where fragrance was everywhere. In the middle was a huge bathtub filled with bright red petals.
