However, to the little novice monk’s surprise, within two days, that elegantly dressed young master was once again carried to their door in a sedan chair.
This time, as soon as he entered, the young master shouted, “Divine Doctor, save me!”
The guards were also very courteous.
In just two days, the young master’s face had become even paler, as white as a corpse, with barely any life force left in him.
Seeing him, Wen Qingchen greeted him like an old friend, “Oh, you’re here. From the looks of it, young master, you’re about to give birth.”
The young master’s face grew even paler, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
“Divine Doctor, please stop joking. There’s really something in my belly!”
This young master was named Mu An, a wealthy man from the neighboring city. One day, he suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain. He thought he had eaten something bad and casually found a doctor to prescribe some medicine.
But after taking the medicine for a few days, it had no effect. His belly still hurt, and the pain persisted for half a month, even gradually swelling up, just like a pregnancy!
Mu An panicked. He consulted every doctor in the city and took countless medications, but nothing worked. Finally, he heard about a highly skilled doctor named Wen in the neighboring city and hurriedly came to seek help.
Doctor Wen examined him and said there was a blood clot in his belly, then prescribed a lot of medicine for him to take.
After taking the medicine for less than two days, Mu An felt the blood clot in his belly start to move!
Not only did it move, but it often kicked his belly! Moreover, he could hear ghostly wails at night!
Mu An was terrified. This fright reminded him of Wen Qingchen’s words. Could he really be pregnant?
Realizing the accuracy of Wen Qingchen’s insight, Mu An feared that a child might actually come out of his belly, so he hurriedly had the guards carry him back to Wen Qingchen.
“Place Young Master Mu on the table,” Wen Qingchen instructed the guards while saying, “And prepare a basin of hot water.”
“Hot, hot water?” Both Mu An and the guards were stunned.
Mu An looked at Wen Qingchen nervously, “I’m not really going to give birth, am I?”
Wen Qingchen smiled at him, with a hint of mischief in her smile, “Didn’t Young Master Mu come to me for childbirth?”
Mu An looked distressed, “…Divine Doctor.”
Wen Qingchen looked very young, with a delicate and fair oval face that was quite pretty. At first glance, she seemed only slightly older than Mu An.
Logically, Mu An shouldn’t have trusted her so much.
But these days, the thing in his belly had tormented him so much that he was driven almost mad. The thought of possibly having to give birth made him believe that the fewer people knew, the better. And now, the only person who knew about his possible pregnancy was this woman in front of him.
To keep it from more people, Mu An had no choice but to rely on her.
Wen Qingchen made the guards step aside. The guards hesitated for a moment and said, “We must stay here to protect the young master!”
Wen Qingchen shrugged and said, “Well then, let your young master give birth in front of everyone’s eyes.”
Mu An’s hairs stood on end at the thought, and at the same time, the thing in his belly moved again!
His face turned ashen. “Get out! Miss Wen didn’t say you could stay, so no one is allowed in!”
The guards slunk away.
Mu An looked at Wen Qingchen with a pleading expression. “Miss Wen, when do we start?”
“Right now.” Wen Qingchen smiled at him and then drew a knife, aiming it directly at his belly!
“…Ahhh!” The intense pain spread through his whole body in an instant, and Mu An let out a scream.
She said we’d start now, but at least give him some time to prepare!
And isn’t this basically trying to kill him?
