The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 365 - 211:

What?

Zhao Minghua was stunned.

"Who got into trouble and let me take the blame?"

How could Chun Nuan possibly kick him out and not let him stay at Nuangxiang Pavilion?

He couldn’t sleep without her; what young couple sleeps in separate rooms for no reason?

This is absurd! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Young master, where are you going?"

"Going to find out what’s going on, of course."

Zhao Minghua wasn’t disobeying orders; he just wanted to understand the situation clearly.

Even in death, one should die knowing why, not unjustly.

He strode into Nuangxiang Pavilion, only to find all the maids absent, with Chun Nuan napping alone on the couch.

Seeing this, Zhao Minghua felt both pity and affection, quickly stepping forward to gently carry her to the bed.

Normally, Chun Nuan would have woken up.

However, this time she was sleeping soundly, turning over and continuing her slumber.

Zhao Minghua... Is she mad, or not? If she’s not mad, why does she look like she’s sulking?

Should he wake her up?

Forget it, let her sleep it off for now.

Right, better to ask the maids about what happened.

When Ding Xiang and Bai He said Chun Nuan was vomiting badly, checked her own pulse, and had Mrs. Zhou prepare lighter meals... Detecting symptoms one by one, yet didn’t find anything unusual.

Probably just due to poor health.

Perhaps he should consult Doctor Chen and buy some medicine for her.

After hearing the symptoms, Doctor Chen glanced at his third young master.

"The young mistress didn’t tell you what illness it is?"

It felt like the young master wasn’t here to ask but to test him.

"No, she’s sleeping."

"The young mistress needs a light diet and she’s sleeping quite well."

Those are the symptoms.

"Young master, I’m not skilled at diagnosing from afar, but I’m good at reading faces and fortune-telling." Doctor Chen decided to bluff a bit with this clueless young man: "I can see, young master, that within three days, you’ll have joyful news."

"..."

Zhao Minghua... Why was the old man acting like a mystic?

Having served as a family physician for thirty years, is he now changing careers to a fortune-teller?

Since when did he know how to read faces and fortunes?

"Young master, if there’s no good news within three days, I’ll treat you to a drink. If there is, don’t forget to treat me."

Anyway, it looks like he’s set on having this drink.

"Seems like you’ve got the liquor bug."

Dismissing him, Zhao Minghua turned back home.

Upon returning to Nuangxiang Pavilion, Chun Nuan had just gotten out of bed and went to the washroom.

Seeing Zhao Minghua upon coming out, she paused: "Why aren’t you resting in the study?"

"I was just about to ask, what rule did I break to be banished to the study?"

"You’re not fit to sleep here anymore."

Chun Nuan was afraid he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself; the first three months were critical and she didn’t want to take any chances.

"Give me a reason."

Zhao Minghua was bewildered, recalling every single thing he’d done recently, unable to find anything he’d done wrong to her.

Why was he sent away?

"Come here."

Zhao Minghua hurried over.

Chun Nuan whispered something in his ear, leaving Zhao Minghua dumbfounded.

"You... this..."

How was he about to become a father so suddenly?

Was the child already sprouting inside his wife’s belly?

If a child was coming, why couldn’t he sleep here?

"Aren’t I just worried you’ll be too reckless and hurt him?"

"How could I? While he’s in your belly, I wouldn’t harm him..."

Suddenly, Zhao Minghua realized how he could hurt him.

"I promise, I’ll stay far away from your belly. We can set a boundary like the great Chu-Han border," Zhao Minghua vowed immediately. "You’re pregnant; how can I just retire to the study and enjoy peace alone? If you need water or snacks at night, I should be here to care for you. I can’t go to the study."

This reasoning seemed irrefutable.

"Doctor Chen was spot on."

Suddenly, Zhao Minghua said, "Could he really have such foresight?"

"What?"

Chun Nuan asked in confusion.

"Doctor Chen said I’d have good news within three days. Sure enough, I’m going to be a father, that is indeed happy news. Hmm, I’ll treat him to a drink tomorrow."

After learning the full story, Chun Nuan pursed her lips. This man was so easily persuaded.

Is he foolish, or just naive?

One could only say that Doctor Chen, knowing the truth but pretending otherwise, is quite the old fox.

Qingsheng was secretly pleased knowing the young master wouldn’t sleep in the study: luckily, he hadn’t set up the bed there—it turns out it wasn’t needed at all.
