After being reborn with my scumbag ex-husband, I became his sister-in-law.

Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful woman with an expressionless face walking up to them.

He Yunze was about to ask the middle-aged woman's identity when, to his surprise, Marquis An Ding's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, asking the woman:

"Goddess of Fertility, may I ask if Su Yi is alright?"

As soon as the Divine Physician Rihua entered the room, her gaze lingered uncontrollably on He Yunce. It wasn't until she heard the Marquis of Anding's question that she finally came back to her senses.

She smiled and nodded at Marquis An Ding. "He's alright now. I've checked everything in the house, and there are no other problems."

Upon hearing this, Marquis An Ding breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly turned to look in Song Ruo'an's direction, his tone tinged with worry:

"Then I'll trouble the Goddess of Fertility to take a look at my daughter-in-law's health. She inhaled the same incense as Su Yi, but she's also pregnant!"

When Song Ruoan heard that the woman in front of her was the legendary Guanyin who grants children, her mind went completely blank.

The Divine Physician Rihua glanced at Song Ruoan's face, which was covered in cold sweat, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked in the direction of Song Xizhi.

"Go and take a look, see what you can figure out."

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi knew that Song Ruoan must have some health problems.

She had been following her master around lately and had learned a lot of obstetrics knowledge that she hadn't learned in her previous life. Now she was eager to try it out.

Song Ruoan bit her lip. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw so many people standing in front of her, surrounding her completely, as if they wanted to make it impossible for her to breathe.

But when she heard that Song Xizhi was to take her pulse, she managed to calm herself down. In the past, the medicine prescribed by the legendary doctor Qihuang had fooled so many doctors who were good at obstetrics. She didn't believe that Song Xizhi, a doctor who was not good at this specialty, could find out anything.

Thinking this, Song Ruoan extended her pulse:

"I told you I'm fine..."

Song Xizhi ignored her incessant chatter and instead focused on feeling her pulse.

Under normal circumstances, Song Ruoan's pulse is smooth, flowing, and light, which is no different from the pulse of someone who is pregnant.

However, her pulse was not particularly steady; rather, it seemed somewhat weak and unstable.

Moreover, Song Ruoan's figure and walking posture are quite different from those of a typical pregnant woman.

If it were in the past, or if she were diagnosing someone else at this moment, Song Xizhi would definitely have thought it was caused by the pregnant woman's liver qi stagnation or other reasons.

But having spent so much time learning from her master, and with Song Ruoan in front of her, she had to be even more careful.

Song Xizhi remained silent, only looking up to observe Song Ruoan's expression and complexion, then lowering his gaze to look at her stomach, and said indifferently, "There is something wrong with your pulse."

"And your belly is bigger than that of a typical four-month pregnant woman."

Song Ruoan's eyelids twitched, and she abruptly pulled her hand away from Song Xizhi's grasp, her expression becoming increasingly resentful.

"Song Xizhi, if you're jealous of my fertility, that's why you're saying this!"

"You know nothing, yet you spout such empty words! Are you trying to ruin me and my child...?"

Upon hearing Song Ruoan's desperate words, everyone present reacted with varying expressions.

He Yunze stepped forward in disbelief, his eyes wide: "Xizhi... what are you saying? What do you mean by that?"

Song Xizhi looked in the direction of the Divine Physician Rihua, and seeing her nod approvingly, Song Xizhi then stated his deduction:

"I suspect that Song Ruoan's pulse was abnormal because she had taken some kind of medication."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence.

The whole audience was shocked.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Song Ruoan's face and stomach with incredulous expressions.

Song Ruoan was also breathing heavily, shaking her head incessantly.

Tears rolled helplessly down her cheeks. She tried to speak, but as soon as she opened her lips, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Seeing this, the renowned physician Rihua stepped forward and grasped Song Ruoan's pulse.

She closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment, then said, word by word, "Safflower, astragalus, peach kernel, and purple chrysanthemum—these things you've taken can fake a false pregnancy pulse, but they will also cause great harm to your body."

Her voice held a hint of a sigh: "Why did you have to do this?"

Everyone struggled to process what the renowned doctor, Rihua, had said.

Marquis An Ding involuntarily took a few steps back, and Lady Huang covered her mouth with her hand.

All the maids and servants lowered their heads at that moment, burying their heads tightly in their chests.

He Yunze stood there blankly, his mind a complete blank, his ears ringing. The words of the Divine Physician Rihua had just spoken were like a thunderbolt, striking him mercilessly.

Marquis An Ding stood there bewildered, feeling as if thunder had struck him: "Goddess of Mercy who grants children... what do you mean?"

The renowned physician nodded: "She is not pregnant."

When He Yunze heard these words again, his eyes became unfocused.

The beautiful wish was shattered; the son they had been longing for day after day turned out to be nothing but a ridiculous joke!

As He Yunze thought about it, he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Suddenly, he rushed forward and was in front of Song Ruoan.

He gripped her arm tightly and questioned her almost hysterically:

"really?"

"Song Ruoan! Is what she said true?"

Where is my child? Where is my child?

Why did you lie to me?!

He Yunze spoke with heartbreaking emotion, feeling for the first time that all the beauty of his past life was so unattainable, as if it were about to leave him in an instant.

His eyes turned bloodshot, his whole body trembled, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Marquis An Ding frowned slightly as he watched He Yun Ce's life-or-death state, and stepped forward to arrest him.

"Song Ruoan was not content with her life and lied about being pregnant in order to escape punishment. She was originally an unruly person."

“Your loss of composure will make the servants laugh at you… You can still have children… There are women in the world who can give birth to your children, not just Song Ruoan.”

But before Marquis An Ding could finish speaking, the Divine Physician Ri Hua interrupted him:

"No, He Yunce can no longer conceive."

"Because he can't have children at all."
