When Su Jin heard Elder Qu’s loud voice, it was too late to stop him.
“Hey, Su Jin, where is your little miss?” he cried
“Sir, Elder Qu, Marquis Yuwen, Little Miss is taking an afternoon nap,” Su Jin replied.
“Ah, then I just…” Elder Qu was filled with regret. He regretted that his voice just now was too loud.
“I told you to lower your voice, but you still didn’t listen. Now that you’ve woken up Meng’er, let’s see how you’ll accompany Meng’er later.” Marquis Yuwen took advantage of this great opportunity to scold Elder Qu.
“Grandpa, why are you looking for me?” Chen Meng’er, who was originally sleeping soundly, woke up from her dream after hearing her grandfather’s shout. However, although she was awake, she was still in a daze.
Chen Meng’er rubbed her eyes, looking like she was in a daze. One look and it was obvious that she wasn’t awake.
Seeing Chen Meng’er’s sleepy look, Elder Qu felt guilty towards Chen Meng’er. He should have kept his voice down earlier. “Meng’er, it’s Grandpa’s fault. Grandpa woke you up.”
“It’s okay, Grandpa. I’ve been asleep for a long time. It’s good that you’re here. Otherwise, I don’t know how long I would have slept. If I slept for too long, it would be even worse when I wake up.” Chen Meng’er’s thoughtfulness made Elder Qu so happy that he was about to cry. “Oh right, Grandpa, why did you come to look for me?”
“Oh, we came to ask you to take a look at us. I don’t know why, but our mouths have been full of blisters for the past few days. It hurts so much that it’s inconvenient for us to eat. We’ve taken a lot of medicine, but it doesn’t seem to be getting better.”
“That’s right. Meng’er, you have to take a good look at Grandpa in a while. It’s so painful, we can’t even eat!” Elder Qu cried.
“Why would it suddenly begin to blister? Grandpa, have you guys eaten anything weird recently?” Chen Meng’er was also quite puzzled. She had heard that colds were contagious, but she had never heard that blisters on the mouth could also be contagious.
“No.” The three old men shook their heads collectively.
“We haven’t eaten anything weird recently. We have eaten a lot of soothing food, but it has no effect at all,” said Yuwen Hou.
“That’s strange. Grandpa, let’s sit in the courtyard. I’ll take a look at you guys.”
Chen Meng’er and the others had just sat down on the stone bench in Chen Meng’er’s courtyard when Chen Meng’er yawned, looking very sleepy.
Elder Liu looked at her and found it strange. Chen Meng’er was never a person who liked to sleep. In the past, when there was a mission that required her to go out personally, she would be fine even if she didn’t sleep for days on end. Elder Liu couldn’t help but ask, “Meng’er, what’s wrong with you? I just heard Yuwen Jing say that you’ve been having insomnia. Why are you suddenly so sleepy these few days? I remember that you didn’t have the habit of taking an afternoon nap in the past.”
“I don’t know either.” Chen Meng’er yawned again. “I’ve only started to be particularly lethargic these few days. I don’t seem to have slept enough. It’s never been like this before.” As she spoke, Chen Meng’er rubbed her eyes that were about to stick together again.
Upon hearing Chen Meng’er’s words, an idea flashed through Elder Liu’s mind. He suddenly caught hold of something very important. He looked at Chen Meng’er’s eyes, and immediately lit up. He couldn’t care less about the pain in his mouth that made him go crazy. He said, “Meng’er, don’t tell me you are pregnant?”
“What?” Chen Meng’er, who was still not fully awake, did not understand.
Even Elder Qu and Yuwen Hou were unable to keep up with Elder Liu’s pace of thinking. The two of them also looked at Elder Liu with a confused expression and said, “Yes, Elder Liu, what do you mean?”
“Ah, you guys are really…” Elder Liu looked at Elder Qu and Yuwen Hou with a face full of disappointment.
“Don’t keep me in suspense. What is it exactly? Tell me. Look at how anxious I am. I was originally still angry, and there are blisters on my mouth.” Elder Qu had a quick temper. Now, he was anxious.
“Of course it means that she is pregnant.” Elder Liu rolled his eyes
“Ah, Meng’er is pregnant. That’s great.” Elder Qu didn’t care about Elder Liu’s attitude. He looked at Chen Meng’er in surprise and then looked at Chen Meng’er’s belly.
Chen Meng’er was shocked by Elder Liu’s words. “Pregnant?” How was that possible? However, after thinking about it, it didn’t seem like she was pregnant.
“I don’t think so.” Chen Meng’er felt that if she was really pregnant, how could she not know? She knew medical skills. “I don’t feel anything.”
“Meng’er, if you were pregnant, would you be able to feel it at the first moment?” Elder Liu asked.
“Yes.” Chen Meng’er nodded.
She really thought so.
“As the saying goes, a doctor does not treat herself. You should understand what this means. Moreover, it will take some time before the pulse can be detected,” Elder Liu explained. “Yuwen Hou, quickly call Yuwen Jing and tell him to come back quickly.”
“Okay, I will call him right away,” Yuwen Hou replied straightforwardly.
“Grandpa, why are you calling Jing?” Chen Meng’er stopped him.
“It’s because we are not certain that I called him. In a while, when Yuwen Jing comes, we’ll go to the hospital.”
“Go to the hospital?” Chen Meng’er, Elder Qu, and Marquis Yuwen said in unison.
“Yes.”
“To do what?” Elder Qu asked weakly.
“To check, of course. We need to know if our granddaughter is pregnant!” Elder Liu rolled his eyes at Elder Qu.
