Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 510 - 168 Nan Batian: Huang Wan’er, you couldn’t be carrying someone else’s bastard, could you? (Please subscribe)_3

Elder Liu said, “It’s edible, but not like this. You can’t just eat saffron like it’s rice!”

“The lady is already weak, to begin with; add to that the torment of pseudocyesis. If you let her consume saffron like rice, not to even mention a sick person, a healthy person couldn’t withstand it either!”

Hearing this, Nan Batian froze and promptly asked, “Does Elder Liu mean she overate saffron?”

Elder Liu said, “Yes, saffron is warm in nature and the lady’s body is too weak to take such supplements. It’s lucky I arrived early; otherwise, it would have been a serious issue.”

Nan Batian then said, “Elder Liu, please, save my wife.”

Elder Liu replied, “Mm, Gang Leader, do not worry, I will use acupuncture to detoxify your wife.”

After speaking, Elder Liu said, “Lady, please take off your outer garment, there are two acupoints on your shoulder.”

After Elder Liu left the room, Huang Wan’er changed into a camisole that left her shoulders exposed and then lay down on the bed.

At this time, Elder Liu took out the acupuncture needles and inserted a few into Huang Wan’er’s shoulders and the back of her neck.

Very soon, Huang Wan’er felt the churning in her stomach settle, and the effects of the saffron seemed to have worn off. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Batian watched for a while. Soon, a subordinate came to report something, and Nan Batian stepped out. At that moment, Huang Wan’er asked, “Elder Liu, why are you helping me?”

Huang Wan’er herself knew that Elder Liu lied, helping her out this one time, didn’t she?

Elder Liu said, “I had no choice but to repay a favor. Also, Chen Jiusi from White Tiger Hall asked me to give you a message.”

“Mm?”

Huang Wan’er was shocked, and Elder Liu said, “He says not to worry, he will soon come to take you away.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er smiled bitterly, “Nan Batian guards me like I’m a thief. And after this, it will become even harder to earn his trust, how could I possibly get away?”

Elder Liu said nothing but continued, “Mm, alright, I have already expelled the medicinal properties of the saffron, the child is saved.”

“Thank you, Elder Liu.”

Huang Wan’er quickly expressed her gratitude, and Elder Liu continued, “Remember, if you feel any signs of pregnancy nausea, press on the Inner Acupoint to alleviate it.”

“Inner Acupoint?”

Huang Wan’er was puzzled, and then Elder Liu pointed to a spot about two inches from the inside of his wrist and said, “Here, just gently rub this area and it will be better in a moment.”

With that, Elder Liu stood up and said, “Well, I have finished my business here, I take my leave.”

Elder Liu rose to depart, and Huang Wan’er said, “Elder Liu, please pass on a message to Chen Jiusi for me.”

Elder Liu looked towards Huang Wan’er who said, “Tell him, never mind, forget it.”

Huang Wan’er considered expressing all her feelings of helplessness and fear. She desperately needed a man’s strong shoulder to lean on, but she didn’t want to involve Chen Jie at this time.

If it weren’t for the fact that she could not have gotten over this obstacle on her own, she wouldn’t even have wanted to tell Chen Jie that she was pregnant.

She even thought of having the child and then hiding away in some village where no one knew her, just to raise the child on her own.

Having witnessed life and parting through his years as a doctor, Elder Liu said no more and simply turned and left; he considered the favor he owed Bai Wenjing repaid.

Thus he departed without a second glance. Once outside, Nan Batian hurried over and, seeing Elder Liu, asked, “Elder Liu, Wan’er is alright, isn’t she?”

Elder Liu responded, “Mm, she is fine, but Gang Leader, you need to pay attention. She must rest quietly for the next two months and must not be disturbed. Also, her diet should be light, and she can’t treat supplements like saffron as regular food anymore.”

“Understood, I get it.”

Nan Batian humbly accepted the advice. Elder Liu said, “Mm, with that there’s no other matter.”

After that, Elder Liu asked, “Does the Gang Leader have any other orders?”

Nan Batian hesitated, then asked, “Elder Liu, are you really certain she’s not pregnant?”

Elder Liu assured him, “Mm, I’m certain. Of course, I could misdiagnose, so the Gang Leader could also seek other doctors to check her pulse. However, the likelihood is they would only detect a joyful pulse, but in fact, it’s a deceitful one. Well, I have said all that needs to be said, the Gang Leader may try others if he wishes.”

With that, Elder Liu nodded and departed, carrying his medicine chest.

Watching Elder Liu’s retreating figure, Nan Batian squinted his eyes and then instructed those around him, “Bring in a few well-known doctors from the city; we can’t just listen to Elder Liu alone.”

“Yes.”

The subordinate heard the order and immediately went to invite other doctors.

Meanwhile, Elder Liu quickly left the Fishing Guild Headquarters and saw Chen Jiusi waiting in a nearby corner. Without speaking, he walked on for a while until Chen Jie caught up.

“Uncle Liu!”

Chen Jie greeted Elder Liu.

Elder Liu turned to face Chen Jie and said, “I’ve taken care of the task you entrusted to me. Within these two months before her pregnancy becomes visible, no one will suspect a thing.”
