Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 39 - 40 Aren’t you losing more than you gain?

Chapter 39: Chapter 40 Aren’t you losing more than you gain?

Chu Yu originally wanted to stay and take care of her, but Old Madam Chu’s attitude was resolute.

So Chu Yu had no choice but to leave first.

As soon as Chu Yu left, Old Madam Chu immediately sat up from the soft couch, taking the mouthwash handed by the nanny, and then wiped the corner of her mouth with the embroidered handkerchief.

She showed none of her earlier weakness, the vomiting of blood had been caused by the two medicine pills she had swallowed earlier.

The nanny couldn’t help but ask, “Old Madam, why did you give that invitation to the Marquis? What if they really do invite Old Mr. He to treat Luo Jiner’s illness? Wouldn’t you be shooting yourself in the foot?”

“Let’s not talk about whether they will be able to invite Old Mr. He, even if he comes, he may not be able to heal her. In this way, Yuyu will only feel more guilty towards me.”

Besides, she didn’t really wish for Luo Jiner to be infertile, so what if she had a child? When the time came, she could take the child beside her to raise.

Old Madam Chu looked at the scenery outside the window, her eyes flickering with uncertainty, wanting only to quickly hold a great-grandson in her arms, no matter who bore the child.

If the woman was compliant, she would stay, if not, the child would stay and the mother would leave.

Back in her room, Luo Jiner poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chu Yu.

Looking at the Marquis, who was full of worries, and then at the invitation on the table, she sat next to him and spoke softly, “I’m sorry, Marquis—I have troubled the Old Madam. I have let you down, and I have let the Old Madam down.”

Chu Yu, seeing the self-reproachful person, took her into his arms, “It’s not your fault. Didn’t Grandmother give us an invitation? We might as well let Imperial Doctor He take a look at you.”

“I’m afraid… the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. My illness might never be cured, and I may never be able to bear our children. Without being able to continue your lineage, what meaning is there for me to live?”

The more Luo Jiner spoke, the more agitated she became, eventually crying uncontrollably.

“Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about!” Chu Yu said, hugging her even tighter, gently comforting her.

Luo Jiner leaned against Chu Yu’s shoulder, her eyes red, “Marquis, if Jiner cannot bear children, will you despise me?”

“Of course not!” Chu Yu said without hesitation.

“Marquis…” Luo Jiner, moved, started to raise her head to say thank you, but Chu Yu sealed her lips with a kiss.

The kiss was deep and lingering.

It wasn’t until their breath became hurried that Chu Yu finally released her, his gaze tender as though it could drip water.

“Rest assured. I will never despise you, whether you can bear children or not. If it comes to that, we can adopt a child to be raised under your name,” Chu Yu said.

Chu Yu’s words made Luo Jiner feel extremely uncomfortable, and even more panicked inside.

Upon serious consideration, if they were to adopt, it would surely be from a concubine. In the end, Chu Yu would still have another woman.

“Alright, thank you, Marquis.” Luo Jiner verbally agreed, but she was determined not to let another woman give birth to the heir before her.

How could she allow such a thing to happen!

…

The cold wind blew piercingly; the weather was turning colder, and the frostbite ointment was selling better and better.

Because of this, Shao He made a hefty sum of silver at the time of profit-sharing, giving her a taste of success.

“I want to develop some medicine for treating colds, which you can just dilute with hot water without the need for decoction. What do you think?”

“Is there really such a medicine?”

Yun Qian stared at her, his mouth agape for a long time.

To know that some common folks, unwilling to use firewood to decoct medicine, would literally cook themselves to death, such a thing happened frequently among the ordinary families.

If she could really make a medicine for colds that did not require decoction and could simply be taken with hot water, it would naturally be a good thing for the people.

“Of course, you’ll see once I’ve made it,” Shao He began to calculate which herbs she would include this time.

As the two of them discussed, Pei Huaian walked in—it was his day for medical consultation.

“What are you discussing?”

Seeing the two engrossed in their conversation, he appropriately interrupted them.

Shao He recalled the masked man ordering a lot of frostbite ointment here last time. He would surely need the medicine for colds this time as well.

So she casually asked, “I’m planning to make some cold medicine that can be taken by mixing it with water instead of decocting it. Would you like to place an order in advance?”

“There’s such a medicine?” Pei Huaian heard of it for the first time, a medicine for colds that did not require decoction and could be taken with just hot water.

However, if such a medicine really existed, he certainly needed it. It would be greatly useful for him, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.

With a surprised gaze from Pei Huaian, Shao He nodded; she knew the masked man would definitely need it and was even more certain of her own thoughts.

It was clear that this masked man must be a Great General, and all of these supplies were for the soldiers at the border city.

“It will be available soon. If you need it, you should order ahead of time, or else don’t blame me if it’s all sold out later,” Shao He said confidently, a mischievous smile spreading on her lips.

Pei Hiaian stared into Shao He’s eyes and noticed a sly sparkle in them, which drew him in deeply.

“Alright, regarding the price…”

“I’ll naturally offer you the best deal,” Shao He interjected.
