A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 191 The Young Marshal and the Young Lady's Confusing Behavior

In the next two days, for some reason, Sha Yanxiao did not ignore Ji Yiru, but took her shopping instead.

Gui'er found it very abnormal. She didn't believe that Sha Yanxiao would easily reconcile with Ji Yiru, especially when he knew that Ji Yiru had health problems.

But Dingxiang was very panicked, fearing that even if their relationship was restored, Ji Yiru would make a comeback. Dingxiang also said that the manager and the servants were also very worried.

Gui Er said to Ding Xiang, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I believe my brother is not the kind of person who has no ideas."

That day, when Gui'er came back from Zhenxiufang, she saw Song Xichen and Ji Yiru sitting in the hall and talking intimately.

Seeing Gui'er come in, Sha Yanxiao smiled and said, "Are you back?"

Gui'er was also a little surprised by the scene before her, so she could only force a smile and say, "Brother and sister-in-law are talking here?"

Ji Yiru suddenly said affectionately, "Sister, come with me." Then she pulled Guier without saying anything and went to his and Sha Yanxiao's bedroom on the second floor.

She pulled out the jadeite and diamond necklace she had stolen from Gui'er from a dresser drawer. She handed it to Gui'er and said, "I was always stingy and jealous of you before. Today, Yan Xiao took me shopping all afternoon and bought me several sets of jewelry."

As he spoke, he took out a brocade box, which contained two gold necklaces, two pairs of gold earrings, and two gold bracelets. The styles were relatively simple, but the total cost should be quite a lot of money.

Gui'er really didn't understand what Sha Yanxiao's intention was, but she could only smile and say, "It looks really good. My sister-in-law will look really beautiful wearing it."

Ji Yiru smiled and said, "What Yan Xiao said was indeed true. He talked to me for a long time, saying that he was highly valued by my father in this mansion, so he had to do a lot of things himself, so he would be very busy and would not have much time to spend with me. He also said that although you and he are not related by blood, you saved him before, so he is willing to raise you and the two of you are like siblings."

As she spoke, she took Gui'er's hand and said, "In the past, I, as your sister-in-law, misunderstood things and caused your sister to be hospitalized twice. But Yan Xiao said that your sister has always been a considerate person since she was a child. She is especially understanding of others and will never bear a grudge."

Gui'er really didn't know whether she was shameless or naive. She almost killed someone and then turned around and wanted to write it off. How could such a cheap thing happen in this world?

But she still smiled and said: "Of course, we are all family, so some small misunderstandings are natural."

After hearing this, Ji Yiru said happily, "In that case, I'll return the necklace to you." Then she returned the jade and diamond necklace to Guier.

Gui'er felt speechless. If she didn't forgive her, she wouldn't return it to her?

Gui'er rolled her eyes and pulled Ji Yiru back to the hall. Sha Yanxiao was reading a newspaper. Seeing them coming down hand in hand, he said happily, "It seems like you two get along quite well. It's almost time. I have to go over to have dinner with my father today. Let's go."

The three of them came to the restaurant in the main courtyard. When the people in other courtyards saw Ji Yiru holding Gui'er's hand and Sha Yanxiao's arm at the same time, they all showed surprised expressions, even Sha Yanyao was no exception.

The wife smiled with satisfaction and said, "See, this is the way it should be. No matter how big the conflict between a husband and wife is, they are still husband and wife."

The Marshal glanced at the three of them, smiled, and asked Gui'er, "Are you okay? Have you recovered?"

This was the first time the Marshal asked about Gui'er after she was poisoned. He had no reaction before, and Gui'er even suspected that he might not know anything about it. But now it seems that he knows.

Guier smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Father. I've almost recovered. I'm also very happy to see my brother and sister-in-law reconcile. I really hope they can have a baby soon."

The Marshal and his wife both nodded in agreement, but Guier caught a glimpse of something unnatural on Ji Yiru's face out of the corner of her eye.

Sha Yanxiao smiled and said, "Yi Ru said she has a spleen and stomach problem. I'll ask our doctor to check her out and prescribe some medicine to help her recover."

The wife said, "That's right. You have to take good care of your body so that you can give birth to a healthy grandson."

The other people present also nodded in agreement. Ji Yiru also had a smile on her face, looking a little embarrassed, but Guier noticed a hint of panic in her eyes.

After dinner, as soon as they returned to the courtyard, the doctor from the Marshal's Mansion came to the door. He pressed his hand on Ji Yiru's wrist for a long time, frowned and said, "Madam, have you been sleeping well?"

Ji Yiru said: "Sometimes I can't sleep at night, and sometimes I can sleep through the night."

The doctor then asked, "Young Madam, has your period always been regular?"

Ji Yiru was obviously panicked and stammered, "I've always been careless and didn't remember it much." Then she suddenly took out a silver dollar, stuffed it into the doctor's pocket and said, "Doctor, thank you for your hard work. Please help me prescribe some tonic medicine to regulate my condition."

The doctor took the silver dollar, his beard stood up with joy, and he bowed to Ji Yiru and Sha Yanxiao, saying, "Thank you, young master and young madam. I'll get it right away." Then he picked up the medicine box and said goodbye.

In Guier's opinion, this consultation ended inexplicably. The doctor, with his ruddy complexion and white beard, looked competent, but he just took the pulse and that was it. He only used one of the four Chinese medicine methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. Guier even thought that he might be a half-baked doctor.

Later, I asked Dingxiang and found out that this doctor used to be a barefoot doctor who went from door to door in the village. One time, he met the Marshal who was injured while hunting, and he treated him. After that, he gained the Marshal's trust and was invited to live in the mansion to treat the people in the mansion. Like other slaves, he received a monthly salary.

But Dingxiang said disdainfully, "This doctor is incredible. He appears diligent and attentive to the masters, but he's perfunctory with us servants. Sometimes, when a servant is sick and needs to ask him for help, he refuses to come and won't come unless he's bribed."

Guier glanced at the doctor's prescription: ginseng, astragalus, angelica, eucommia, saffron, dried ginger, and licorice. She had learned a little about pharmacology now. While the others were for tonifying qi, blood, or the kidneys, saffron was for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and was often used for light menstrual flow. Guier felt the doctor should know something about this.

After that, Ji Yiru took Chinese medicine for a few days, but there didn't seem to be any obvious changes.

While Sha Yanxiao was in her room chatting, Guier privately suggested to Sha Yanxiao that he take Ji Yiru to the hospital to see a foreign doctor.

Sha Yanxiao glanced at the door before lowering his voice and saying to Gui'er, "I've asked the doctor, and he says she's a barren woman. There's no point in looking at her anymore."

Gui'er suddenly realized that Sha Yanxiao was not trying to repair his relationship with Ji Yiru, but to stabilize her and find out the truth.

He asked Sha Yanxiao: "What should we do then?"

Sha Yanxiao smiled, touched her head and said, "Don't worry about it, I will take care of it."
