The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 977 - 971: A Different Identity Now

Gu Youyou was startled, thinking to herself, "Cousin, why are you so gossipy everywhere? You know all these things so clearly."

Meanwhile, the ladies were asking Xie Qinyun about whether the baby in her womb was a boy or a girl.

"Consort Xie, have you asked Doctor Gu whether it’s a boy or a girl in your belly?"

Someone said, "How can that be seen? You only find out after the baby is born."

"It’s said that skilled doctors can tell. Doctor Gu’s medical skills are excellent; surely, he can tell."

Xie Qinyun said delightedly, "I was just about to ask Doctor Gu whether it’s a boy or a girl, but you all interrupted me. Oh, Doctor Gu, what exactly is in my belly? Or are they both boys?"

Gu Youyou dared not speak recklessly anymore and said annoyed, "This can’t be diagnosed by feeling the pulse; let’s wait until the child is born."

It was really a matter of life and death. The more high-profile she was, the worse Madam Huang’s expression became. Now, she had already taken her maid and left, hoping out of sight, out of mind.

Consort Xie, with her carefree nature, wasn’t afraid of attracting malice.

Hearing Gu Youyou say the gender couldn’t be told, Xie Qinyun wasn’t upset. She took Gu Youyou’s hand and said, "It’s early in the pregnancy, so it’s normal not to see. When my belly is bigger, I’ll come to Doctor Gu for help with the pulse again."

Gu Youyou said, "No use, even if it’s bigger, I can’t tell. If you don’t believe me, ask the Imperial Physician."

"Doctor Gu, don’t be modest. If you can’t do it, who can? You definitely can," a lady, unknown from which family, kept flattering Gu Youyou.

These words made Gu Youyou very frustrated.

Someone said, "Next month, Doctor Gu’s status will be different; how can she casually help people feel their pulses?"

The crowd suddenly realized.

"Yeah, Doctor Gu is going to be the Crown Prince’s consort. She’s getting married next month."

In their eyes, Gu Youyou was Jisheng Hall’s doctor, who didn’t easily provide consultation; her reputation as a Divine Doctor was much louder than that of the suddenly emerged Crown Prince’s consort, which momentarily made people overlook her other identity.

"Now we can still invite Doctor Gu to feel our pulses, but next month, when she becomes the Crown Prince’s consort, it will be even harder."

"Oh dear, in that case... Doctor Gu, please check my pulse. Lately, I don’t know why, but I’ve been unable to sleep well and often feel dizzy..."

"And me, my legs feel sour..."

Gu Youyou was surrounded by the ladies and misses, finding it difficult to refuse out of courtesy. She was also concerned that others might think she was putting on airs because she was going to be the Crown Prince’s consort. Thus, Lin Qianqing arranged for someone to set up a separate consultation table for her, and she began providing free medical consultations.

These ladies and misses were wives and legitimate daughters from the families of high-ranking officials in the Imperial Court. In the future, they might be able to help her and Jin Zijin. Borrowing Lin Qianqing’s venue to show off might mean King Jin and the Empress were about to encounter problems again.

Since Gu Youyou had sat down to give consultations, those who were and weren’t sick naturally all wanted to consult with her. Even if not for illnesses, getting a peace of mind pulse from Doctor Gu was good too, it was not easy to have Doctor Gu feel one’s pulse.

"Madam Lu has arrived..."

At the mention of Madam Lu, the lively atmosphere instantly froze.

Madam Lu hadn’t appeared in public for a year or two; it was said that she had contracted a strange disease that made her robust and bulky, which was why she hadn’t left her house for the last two years, staying in for treatment.

Unexpectedly, the wife of King Jin had invited her today.

Madam Lu’s gaze swept over everyone, quickly settling on Gu Youyou.
