On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Sitting in front of Military Doctor Cao, Mrs. Shen was still a little dazed.

Before they arrived, Linlang had already left and brought in a midwife.

This midwife was found with the help of Madam Sima. She was originally the old lady's personal maid. She had learned medicine since she was a child and was particularly good at treating women's illnesses. She came with the old lady as a dowry and rose through the ranks from a maid to a head maid and then to a head nanny.

When the Sima family was exiled to the northwest, she of course followed them. In her words, they could share both the good and the bad times.

The midwife followed the old lady and witnessed the relationship between her and the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. When Yan Ruyu asked the old lady to help find a midwife, she volunteered to come.

Reliable, tight-lipped, and skilled, no one is more suitable than her.

When the midwife came in, Doctor Cao was taking Mrs. Shen's pulse.

Doctor Cao had heard what Yan Ruyu said and was mentally prepared, but when he actually took the patient's pulse, his face still darkened.

"This drug is too toxic and really evil! It's unscrupulous enough to just make someone fake a pregnancy, but when it finally takes effect, it will cause the person to lose all their energy and blood and die."

Jiang Tangli's face was paler than Mrs. Shen's: "Doctor Cao, then my third sister..."

"It's okay. Fortunately, it was discovered early. I used medicine and acupuncture. After that, you should rest well. You will be fine."

Jiang Tangli's expression did not ease, she was still worried: "Well, will it hurt?"

Doctor Cao was silent for a moment: "I will try to reduce the pain."

Madam Shen's face was as pale as paper, and her fingertips were a little pale: "It's okay, Doctor Cao, just use it."

Doctor Cao wrote a prescription: "It's not good now. You need to take two doses of medicine first to make your body stronger."

Yan Ruyu gave Doctor Cao a look, and Doctor Cao said, "This is the midwife, she has decades of experience, let her check your body first."

He stood up with the prescription in hand: "I'll go get the medicine."

He turned and went out. Yan Ruyu closed the door and Linlang stayed outside.

Although this was a private room in a small teahouse, it was already prepared. Linlang arrived first and laid a soft and thick cushion on the small couch. The charcoal fire in the room was also burning brightly.

The midwife said to Jiang Tangli, "Miss, please go over there first. Let me check."

After all, Jiang Tangli is still an unmarried girl.

She shook Mrs. Shen's hand and stepped aside.

Yan Ruyu did not avoid her, but watched the midwife from the side, trying to see if there was anything she could do to help.

Mrs. Shen lay there, her hands subconsciously clenched into fists and placed on both sides of her body, her eyes fixed on the roof.

The whites of her eyes were red and her gaze was empty, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Yan Ruyu couldn't bear to look at her expression and lowered her eyes silently.

There was a moment of silence in the room, except for the sound of clothes shredding.

After a long time, the midwife suddenly exclaimed "Eh".

There was a strong sense of doubt in his tone.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyes: "What?"

Jiang Tangli's voice also rang out, and she couldn't help but come over: "Mammy, what happened to my third sister?"

The midwife frowned, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself, her expression full of disbelief.

Seeing her like this, Yan Ruyu was a little nervous. Madam Shen supported herself with one hand and asked anxiously, "Mammy, if there is anything, please speak clearly."

The midwife looked at Yan Ruyu, then turned her gaze to Madam Shen, and moved her lips, but didn't know what to say.

She looked at Yan Ruyu again, her voice low and difficult: "From what I see, Madam Shen she...she..."

"Still a virgin."

"What?" the three of them said in unison.

Madam Shen thought it was ridiculous: "How is this possible? My husband and I have been married for more than three years. Although it is difficult for me to have children, but..."

But no, it can’t be because I haven’t had sex yet.

Yan Ruyu also found it hard to believe, but she also felt that it was impossible for the midwife to fail to see such a thing.

Before, she only observed whether there was a fetus in Mrs. Shen's belly, and didn't pay attention to anything else. The key point was that she didn't think about anything else.

She calmed herself down, switched her eyes, and looked at Mrs. Shen again.

Mrs. Shen was very excited, and Jiang Tangli quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Mammy, this is impossible. Am I seeing things?"

The midwife calmed down now. She was indeed surprised just now and she was still surprised now, but she also believed in herself.

The midwife said: "I have delivered nearly twenty babies. Most of the children in my family were delivered by me. I have also treated many female diseases. I believe I will not be wrong about this."

"But, this..."

Yan Ruyu's eyes also returned to normal and she nodded slowly: "Madam, what you said is correct."

Jiang Tangli was stunned and didn't know what to say.

The midwife bowed again: "Madam, I will take my leave first."

She turned and left, and Linlang closed the door again.

Jiang Tangli didn't know how to start for a moment. Mrs. Shen's face turned pale, and the tears that she had been holding back now rolled silently.

Yan Ruyu sighed softly: "Madam, have you thought of anything? We have been married for three years. If you pay attention, there will be no traces."

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"We...are such a loving couple."

Madam Shen's lips trembled, and she held Jiang Tangli's arm tightly: "I once thought... I was the happiest woman."

"Why is it so? Why is it so?"

Jiang Tangli's heart was broken when she heard this: "Third sister..."

Mrs. Shen put on her clothes and slowly sat up, speaking as if to herself, or to the two of them.

"He was always busy, even when he was in Shanghai. He often came home late at night. I wanted to wait for him, but I always waited until I was very sleepy, and he was also very tired."

"Marriage matters... There were a few times when I was drunk. I can drink quite well. When I was at home, I would have a few drinks with my parents during the Chinese New Year. I can drink better than my father."

Jiang Tangli listened to her words and nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, I remember."

"But every time I drink with him, I get drunk faster and harder, and I forget more of what happened that night. When I wake up the next day, I don't remember anything."

Yan Ruyu listened quietly. Beneath her calm tone, there was a surge of emotion like thunder.

"I should have noticed it, I should have noticed it a long time ago, but he usually treats me very well. I feel like I'm in love with him. How could I suspect this?"

“This is the most intimate thing between husband and wife.”

Madam Shen slowly raised her head and looked at Yan Ruyu: "Tell me, is it possible that something happened, but I..."

Still a virgin?

Yan Ruyu knew what she wanted to say and shook her head slowly.

In fact, Mrs. Shen already had the answer in her mind. She had never thought about it before, but now that she thought about it carefully, how could there be no flaws?

Jiang Tangli bit her lip and trembled with anger: "Why did he do this? I'll go ask him!"

Before Yan Ruyu could speak, Madam Shen grabbed her and said, "No."

"Three sisters!"

"It's not right for you to ask about this kind of thing. I have to ask it myself."

Yan Ruyu said slowly: "If you want to ask, but not now."

"Madam, since it has happened, you need to be patient. It is better to see and think than to ask. What you see and think are far more important and truer than what others say."
