"Oh, a routine check? That's fine then."

Hearing that it was a routine check-up, Tang Min breathed a sigh of relief. A routine check-up is nothing more than measuring blood pressure and blood sugar. It seems that the original owner's body is not in any major problems at present, so she should not need to take any medicine.

Upon arriving in the living room, Aunt He poured Tang Min a glass of warm water and waited nearby so that Tang Min could handle any issues promptly.

The doctor hadn't arrived yet, and Tang Min had nothing else to do, so she could only idly play with the water glass in her hand. She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was 5:30. Could it be that the doctor was rushing here after get off work?

The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Aunt He stood to one side without saying a word. Tang Min was really bored and started thinking of all sorts of opening lines. Oh right, where are the three little ones? She finally found a topic to talk about.

"Aunt He, where are the other three?"

Aunt He seemed a little surprised that Tang Min would ask about the three little ones, but she quickly calmed down and said, "The young masters haven't finished school yet, the driver has already gone to pick them up."

"Oh," I said, and then I didn't know what else to say. Oh well, I'll just keep going. What else can I do?

"Around what time will you get home?"

We arrived a little after seven.

"Oh," Tang Min nodded.

Another silence fell...

But Tang Min was filled with unease again. She didn't know if this Dr. Li was really the family doctor. What if she found out later that he wasn't the right doctor?

In order to prevent her family from realizing that the owner of this body had already changed, Tang Min had to think of a way. She didn't know if the amnesia described in novels would work. Perhaps she could pretend to be sick under the pretext of Dr. Li examining her body.

"Aunt He, when was the last time Dr. Li came? I forgot." We need to find out first whether Dr. Li is actually a family doctor.

"Because the young mistress hasn't been feeling well lately, Dr. Li has been coming quite frequently, about once every two days."

Good heavens, this came so easily! The original owner of this body was already sick.

However, she didn't sense anything wrong with the original owner's body. Everything seemed normal, and she didn't feel any discomfort.

Apart from being a little pale and appearing somewhat malnourished, he was otherwise just like a normal person. Could it be that the original owner had some kind of problem that couldn't be seen from his appearance?

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man entered from outside, followed by a man who looked to be around 40 years old and was thin. After they entered, there was a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the room, so one of the two was probably Dr. Li.

He's mother, who had been standing beside him, rushed forward upon seeing this, saying, "Old He, you're back! Dr. Li is here."

Old He? Aunt He? Great, Tang Min has unlocked a new title for a new character. Judging from this, the middle-aged man should be Old He. Aunt He and he are so close, could he be Aunt He's lover?

Dr. Li, who was next to "Aunt He," also quickly greeted Aunt He. He seemed to be an honest and polite person.

"Young Mistress"

"Young Mistress"

Tang Min is still not quite used to the title "Young Madam." When Old He and Dr. Li called her that, she almost didn't react and didn't know how to respond. Tang Min could only give a faint "Mm."

"Madam, Dr. Li will examine you. I'll go check on the meal preparations."

Butler Uncle He is a man who knows when to advance and retreat. With Aunt He around, he shouldn't have anything to worry about.

He was originally called to the old house by his wife to ask about the villa, but then his son kept calling him to pick up Dr. Li. He remembered that Dr. Li had just examined the young mistress at the villa, so why did he need to examine her again so soon?

But the young mistress's matter couldn't be delayed, so he quickly said goodbye to his wife and left. When his wife heard that he was there to check on her daughter-in-law, she let Uncle He go and urged him to come back quickly.

Knowing that they were going back to the old house today, Uncle He had arranged for Aunt He to keep a close eye on things at the villa a day in advance. He also instructed Aunt He that if the young mistress had any issues, she should contact her son immediately so that the young master would know. This was something the young master had specifically instructed her to do before his business trip.

It seems something really did happen. However, the young mistress looks no different from usual, and her complexion has improved a lot. We'll have to wait for Dr. Li's examination results to find out.

Just as Tang Min had expected, this Dr. Li was indeed a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. After sitting down, he gestured for Tang Min to extend her right hand. His fingers gently rested on Tang Min's wrist, his brows furrowing from time to time, and his expression occasionally becoming serious.

Tang Min was a little uneasy. She had long heard that traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis was particularly accurate. Could it be that she was actually sick?

Is she really going to face a life-or-death situation on her very first day in this world?

Time passed slowly, and only the ticking of the clock remained in the living room, tick-tock...

After a long while, Li Peng finally made a move, removing his fingers from Tang Min's right hand and gesturing for Tang Min to extend her left hand.

"Stick out your tongue, let me see it."

"okay"

How's your appetite today?

"Um, it's alright."

"How are you feeling?"

"what?"

Li Peng's question stumped Tang Min. Had he discovered something? But she calmly replied, "I'm in a pretty good mood."

I don't know if Li Peng believed me or not, but he didn't ask again. He turned to ask Aunt He a few questions about his daily life, then took out a notebook from his bag and wrote as he spoke, "Eat a lighter diet these days. Go out for walks when you have time to relax. Don't stay in your room all the time..."

Indeed, traditional Chinese medicine can not only detect physical problems but also mental ones. It seems that the "mental distress" that doctors in novels often talk about has some medical basis.

Looking at Dr. Li, Tang Min recalled the plan she had just made and pondered how to bring it up.

Seeing that Li Peng had finished writing the medical orders and was about to get up and leave, Tang Min decided to go all in. She clenched her fist, turned around and looked at Li Peng, "Um, Dr. Li, I have another question I'd like to ask you."

Li Peng looked at Tang Min and asked, "Young Madam, what do you want to say?"

"Um, what could be the reason if someone wakes up in the morning and forgets a lot of things?"

When Tang Min spoke, Li Peng was somewhat confused. He had forgotten many things after waking up, which sounded quite like amnesia.

He Ma, who was standing next to her, also looked at Tang Min nervously. No wonder the young mistress was acting so strangely this morning; it seemed that something really had happened.

"Has the young mistress forgotten something?"

Tang Min carefully observed Li Peng and, seeing that he was treating this as a routine medical inquiry, immediately felt relieved.

"Yes, that's right. I can't remember many things clearly; they seem familiar yet unfamiliar."

Not knowing whether others could accept the absurd idea of ​​"time travel," Tang Min could only scratch her head and give a vague answer.

"Familiar yet unfamiliar? That means there's physical memory, but no mental memory..." Li Peng repeated Tang Min's words, deep in thought...

Previously, each examination was conducted in the room, and the young mistress rarely spoke. It was always a routine procedure. Li Peng would leave after the examination without ever asking any questions. At the time, Li Peng did not know what had happened to the young mistress, so he could only tell the young master that the young mistress was holding something in her heart and suggested that she go out for walks more often.

Li Peng was initially pleased to see his young mistress come out of her room and into the living room to cooperate with the examination today, as his patient was finally showing signs of improvement. However, it seems that the problem has become more serious now; amnesia is definitely not a good thing.

Tang Min looked at Li Peng nervously, her fingers fidgeting. Whether she could use Li Peng's examination to survive in this family like the original owner of the body depended on this moment.

She had thought it through. Since she had tried many methods but couldn't go back, she might as well maintain a good relationship so that she could at least live more comfortably. She could deal with the rest later.
