Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 237 - 236 The Symptom of Palace Cold

"Xia Xiao, you’re really good to me." Ning Hui said blissfully after finishing her egg.

Xia Xiao handed her the porridge with a smile, "I can be even better to you, hurry up and eat your porridge before it gets cold and less tasty."

Uh-huh, Ning Hui nodded in agreement and began to eat her porridge.

The porridge Xia Xiao had made was not boiled with spring water but with ordinary tap water. She also dared not make it too tasty, fearing that Ning Hui would ask where she bought it.

However, Ning Hui obviously had a good appetite and quickly finished it, then patted her belly and said she was full.

"Xia Xiao, please tell Li Zhenchuan for me, I don’t want to marry him anymore," Ning Hui said after she had her fill.

Xia Xiao shook her head, "You two should sort out your own issues, I don’t want to get involved."

Meddling in some matters she was willing to do, but when it came to ruining a marriage, that was where she drew the line.

Soon, the doctor came to examine Ning Hui, and after confirming she was fine, Li Zhenchuan arranged her hospital discharge.

Throughout the journey, Li Zhenchuan was silent; it was Ning Hui and Xia Xiao who talked. As they were getting close to the production team, Xia Xiao reminded Ning Hui, "Once you’re back at the production team, be careful not to talk recklessly, okay?"

Ning Hui nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll only talk to you, and I won’t tell him."

Xia Xiao then felt relieved. Everyone thought Ning Hui would end up with Li Zhenchuan upon her safe return, only to be surprised that she was now unwilling.

Everyone was at a loss about what to say about this pair; Ning Hui and Li Zhenchuan were always an enigma to them.

Back at the dorm, Xia Xiao saw Yang Xuehua and couldn’t help but think of Ning Hui’s words, feeling an odd shift in her heart.

Sun Yuhua returned to the city, and in the end, Yang Xuehua might have ended up with Gao Jiazhi as they partnered to open a school. Xia Xiao felt that Yang Xuehua was not the one to blame for the situation.

Gao Jiazhi liked Sun Yuhua and probably had nothing to do with Yang Xuehua, and Yang Xuehua was not that kind of person.

It was quite possible that during the restoration of the college entrance examination, given Sun Yuhua’s character, she really might have left Gao Jiazhi behind to return to the city.

However, since Gao Jiazhi wanted to be a teacher and it was also Yang Xuehua’s wish, it wasn’t strange for them to start a school together.

Once she let go of these concerns, Xia Xiao stopped dwelling on them. What worried her more was Gao Jiaxing, but Ning Hui didn’t mention him in her dreams, and Xia Xiao was clueless about his situation.

After returning to the production team, they still continued clearing the land. Li Zhenchuan didn’t want Ning Hui to go, but she insisted.

These two, having returned from the hospital, were at loggerheads again, only this time it was not Ning Hui with Li Zhenchuan, but the other way around.

Fortunately, this time there were no snake encounters like before. After the work was done, Ning Hui said to Xia Xiao: "Xia Xiao, I want to go home, but I can’t bear to leave you."

"I can’t bear to let you go either," Xia Xiao said, having grown used to Ning Hui’s company; the thought of her suddenly leaving made Xia Xiao reluctant to part with her.

"I will come back to see you."

Then the next day, Ning Hui came back in a huff. Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua looked at her angry face and asked, "What happened?"

"Li Zhenchuan actually kept my documents and refused to give me a recommendation letter, this is just too much," Ning Hui grumbled in frustration.

Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua exchanged glances and shrugged helplessly, indicating there was nothing they could do to assist in this matter.

"I said I wanted to go back, and he said he would go back with me," Ning Hui added.

Xia Xiao said, "Then let’s go back together. Don’t you want to call off the engagement anyway? You should definitely go back together."

"I don’t want to," Ning Hui shook her head. "If I go back with him, the elders will definitely arrange the marriage."

"Then just keep dragging it out," Xia Xiao couldn’t do anything about Li Zhenchuan and Ning Hui. Besides, Li Zhenchuan was smart. If she were to give advice, Li Zhenchuan would surely know. Xia Xiao didn’t want to offend Li Zhenchuan.

Ning Hui fell silent, and Yang Xuehua said, "After everything you’ve been through, and now that you’re finally together, hurry up and get married. Secretary Li isn’t getting any younger, and neither are you. Your family must be getting anxious."

Xia Xiao asked, "Do you still like Secretary Li?"

"I do," Ning Hui nodded honestly.

"If you like him, marry him. Didn’t the doctor say you are in good health? Why overthink it? And how do you know it’s your problem and not Secretary Li’s?"

Having children is a matter for two people, not something one person can decide alone.

"Anyway, it’s my problem, not his," Ning Hui said.

"How do you know that?" Xia Xiao found it strange. Could it be that Li Zhenchuan had an illegitimate child?

But that didn’t seem right. If Li Zhenchuan had an illegitimate child or another woman, Ning Hui would definitely not have that expression. She looked guilty for not bearing Li Zhenchuan a child and still had affection only for Li Zhenchuan.

"I have a cold uterus," Ning Hui revealed.

A cold uterus, Xia Xiao thought, that could be serious or not. In novels she had read, women with a cold uterus often had difficulty conceiving, even to the point of being unable to get pregnant at all.

But some women were cured, so she said, "It’s not an incurable disease. What are you afraid of? A cold uterus can be treated. Go see Aunt Zheng. Let her take a look at you."

Saying this, Xia Xiao took Ning Hui’s hand, "Come on, let’s go see Aunt Zheng."

When it came to gynecology, Zheng Xianghong was quite competent, so Xia Xiao took Ning Hui to see Zheng Xianghong, with Yang Xuehua tagging along.

"Ah, you must have been soaked in water before, right?" Zheng Xianghong grasped Ning Hui’s pulse and stated.

"Yes, and in the dead of winter. It was also around the time I first started my period when I stepped into an ice hole," Ning Hui nodded.

"Your problem is serious. If you don’t take proper care of it and let it drag on, it’ll only get harder to treat," Zheng Xianghong frowned.

"Yes, yes, Auntie, can you cure me?" Ning Hui looked at Zheng Xianghong with hopeful eyes.

"This problem is rather severe. I can’t be certain," Zheng Xianghong shook her head.

Ning Hui was somewhat disappointed but still said, "Auntie, please treat me. Even if it doesn’t work, I won’t blame you."

Ning Hui deeply believed in everything from her dreams, and before that dream, she hadn’t known about her cold uterus. Hearing Zheng Xianghong’s words only made her more convinced.

Moreover, in her dream, she had seen countless renowned doctors and tried numerous folk remedies, prayed to gods, but to no avail. Mostly because she had waited too long, and eventually, she broke down her health even further. The more medicine she took, the more it drained her body.

"You’d better go home and find a famous doctor," Zheng Xianghong advised.

Ning Hui shook her head. Originally, she thought so too, but going home would just worry her family.

And now, some of the famous traditional doctors had been moved elsewhere. So even if she were to go back, she might not find someone to cure her, or they might not be able to heal her. By then, her condition might have already spread everywhere.

"Auntie, please treat me. If there’s no improvement in a year, then forget it."

With Ning Hui saying this, Zheng Xianghong could only nod in agreement, but she added, "We’ll need to find some medicines too."
