The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 15 Feeling the Pulse
It is said that when Jia Rong came back from washing his feet, he met Wang Xifeng in the study.

Wang Xifeng came over with her maid.

At this time, Wang Xifeng was not wearing her usual clothes at home. She had changed into a narrow-sleeved jacket made of bright red cloud satin with hundreds of gold butterflies and flowers, and a colorful carved silk coat made of stone blue and silver mice on the outside; and a crepe skirt sprinkled with jadeite flowers.

The hairpin on the head, the jade on the waist, and the circle on the forehead are all priceless rare treasures.

She was covered in jewels and colorful embroidery, looking like a goddess or fairy.

"You can run away from the monk! But can you also run away from the temple? I have been waiting for you here for half an hour, and you are finally back!"

Wang Xifeng was not here to show off her wealth, and she knew that the person in front of her was richer than her.

Although he came here angrily at this time, he was obviously subdued, and his words were mostly in the same tone as before when he was playing and throwing tantrums.

For her, the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, this was already considered as acting like a spoiled child.

Jia Rong walked over and looked at the beautiful dress. His wife wore something more formal at her wedding.

"Don't worry, Sister Feng, there are no outsiders here. We grew up together, so how could I not treat you as one of my own? Let's go in and talk."

Wang Xifeng immediately felt relieved and walked beside Jia Rong with a smile on her face, in a very good mood.

"I said that Master Rong is cold on the outside but kind on the inside. Even though he doesn't hang out much, he is very loyal and righteous."

The two walked into the room and saw a golden clock on the table in the study.

Jia Rong listened to the ticking sound beneath the clock box and looked at the golden decoration and the time on the long clock box.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "This is my dowry gold self-ringing clock. In addition, I know that you have worked hard in school, so I will give you a gold watch."

When Jia Rong saw Wang Xifeng take out a pocket watch the size of a shell, he knew that these were valuable treasures that Wang Xifeng had taken out from her dowry.

Wang Xifeng's dowry was quite large, not only various valuable treasures, but also maids, nannies and a large amount of money.

The silver alone amounted to tens of thousands of taels, equivalent to the Rongguo Mansion's income for most of the year.

Jia Rong reached out to take the gold watch and walked towards the kang in the middle room.

"Come here, I'll help you check, Ping'er, watch the door."

After hearing this, Ping'er looked at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng knew that the medical matter needed to be kept secret, so she nodded and asked Ping'er to go and guard the door.

Although Wang Xifeng seemed to have given in at this time, she was actually still aggressive as she had the support of the Wang family.

After sitting down, Jia Rong looked at Wang Xifeng who was walking over.

Wang Xifeng sat on the right, and there was a tea table on the kang in the middle.

"Why don't you bring a few maids with you? You're being too thrifty!"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Normally, a person can take care of himself. Let me tell you about your business first. Stretch out your hand and I will feel your pulse."

This time he came here to see a doctor. Seeing that he spoke directly to the point, Wang Xifeng was naturally happy and obedient.

"Okay, Mr. Nagging, help me take a look."

Jia Rong quickly felt Wang Xifeng's wrist and examined her for a minute.

Wang Xifeng was extremely anxious, "How is it? Is it okay?"

"Don't worry."

Jia Rong frowned and rubbed her sweaty palms and back of her hands.

Wang Xifeng quickly placed her other hand on Jia Rong's hand, chuckled and said, "Master Rong, are you treating a disease or a person?"

"We grew up together, so you're not afraid that your uncle will get angry if he finds out."

Although there was a charming and lustful look in her eyes, Jia Rong knew that Feng Lazi must be extremely calm at this moment, thinking about getting the upper hand.

Jia Rong's face was calm. "I'm not flirting with you. I've already said that there's nothing wrong with your body. I'm just not sure whether your first child is a boy or a girl."

"I'll touch the palm and back of your hand to see if it's a boy or a girl, but since you don't seem to want to, I won't tell you even if I touch you. That's all."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng realized that she had misunderstood and quickly took the initiative to grab Jia Rong's big hand.

"What are you talking about, Master Rong? How could I not agree to this? I have to use both hands. Oh, it's my other hand that's in the way. I'm wrong."

Wang Xifeng let go of one hand and said with a smile: "Please ask Dr. Rong to take a good look at me and see when I can get pregnant."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "You've come to the right person! But you're too late!"

After that, he continued to touch the back of Wang Xifeng's hand, stroking it back and forth. Wang Xifeng became even more concerned, and endured the itch on her hand, "Why?"

Jia Rong said, "You came to ask me for help, so of course there is nothing wrong with your body. I came late because I carefully touched the palms and backs of your hands and found that your first baby is most likely to be a girl."

Wang Xifeng became anxious, "How can I give birth to a son?"

Jia Rong withdrew his hand. Without the big hand caressing her hand, Wang Xifeng became even more anxious.

"Brother Rong, help me! I'll give you whatever you want! As long as you can help me give birth to a son!"

Jia Rong stood up and walked around the room with a serious look on his face.

Soon Jia Rong walked over and sat down next to Wang Xifeng.

"I just touched the palm and back of your hand. My reading may not be accurate. People say that children are the apple of their mother's eye. Are you willing to let me take a closer look?"

Jia Rong said quickly, "If you don't want to, forget it. It's really inconvenient."

Wang Xifeng was so smart that when she thought about the fact that this man asked Ping'er to watch at the door, she immediately guessed what was going on.

"It's okay. Why should there be so many rules for treating illnesses? Just touch it~"

Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile. The monk could escape, but the temple could not. If she was not pregnant, she would not let this pervert go! !

"Then I'll touch it!" Jia Rong quickly reached out, holding Wang Xifeng's shoulder with one hand and reaching into her beautiful clothes with the other hand.

Wang Xifeng remained silent. Although she was already a woman, her face was flushed and her heart was beating fast.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Your heart is beating so fast. Wait for me for a while, I will be able to feel it more clearly than the veins on my hand~"

Wang Xifeng was very sure that he was a pervert. "I didn't expect that Master Rong was such a lustful person. You've already set your sights on me before Yuanyang even comes."

Jia Rong touched Feng Lazi's left and right atria, his hands moving non-stop, but he could not admit it.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm treating a patient. If I say something wrong, you can come back and bring your uncle, grandmother, and old lady to settle the score with me."

Feng Lazi frowned at this time, unable to tell whether it was true or false.

Jia Rong knew when to stop, so he took his hand back, stood up and sat down on the other side.

"Look, you are indeed pregnant."

Wang Xifeng didn't bother to tidy up her clothes and asked hurriedly, "Can it be true?"

"It is indeed true." Jia Rong whispered, "But I checked your mind and found that it is more likely to be a girl, about nine out of ten."

Wang Xifeng quickly said, "Maybe it will be a boy?"

Jia Rong said seriously, "I can't do anything about this. You can bet that I'm wrong. Anyway, the pregnancy is real. You should give birth to the baby first. Maybe it will be a boy by then."

"Even if it's a girl, it's not a loss. I can just give birth next year."

Seeing that Jia Rong looked serious, Wang Xifeng straightened her collar and the clothes in front of her while thinking about this matter carefully.

"Just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I'll prescribe some medicine to help you stay pregnant. If you're worried after you go back, ask the maid to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

"Just don't let anyone know that I touched your hands and heart to treat your illness. Otherwise, if people find out that you came to me for treatment, and if they give birth to a child, they will definitely come after me in anger and accuse me of molesting women. That would be very unpleasant."

"I treat you as a family member, and I know you can keep secrets, so I told you this. If you spread the news, you will be childless for the rest of your life!"

Wang Xifeng said quickly, "Don't worry, we have a good relationship, how could I harm you? Among all the men in the Jia family, I only trust you!"

As she spoke, Wang Xifeng took the initiative to put her hand on Jia Rong's.

Jia Rong smiled, touched her hand and stood up. "It's getting late. We are all friends and confidants. There is no need to thank me. I know it's not easy for Sister Feng over there. Don't spend money when you come to my place next time."

Wang Xifeng stood up and said, "Rong'er and I are family, I won't treat you as an outsider. I will help you to settle the matter with Yuanyang!"

Jia Rong didn't want to take Yuanyang in so quickly.

"Let's talk about this in two or three years. There will be a lot of things to do at Rongguo Mansion after you get pregnant. It would be better if you have Yuanyang to help you, the old lady."

Wang Xifeng immediately understood the relationship between the two. This was equivalent to hiring a spy around the old lady, and she didn't even have to spend a penny.

"Okay, I'll use her for a few years." Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "I'll have someone send you some food and toys later."

Jia Rong shook his head and said, "No, you can keep it to yourself. Ask Ping'er to come over every few days. I don't visit you often, so just ask Ping'er to come over and talk to me when the time comes."

Wang Xifeng understood Jia Rong's meaning and said charmingly, "Okay, I won't let you, Rong'er, suffer any loss~"

Soon, Wang Xifeng took Ping'er and several maids and servants and returned to Rongguo Mansion in a sedan chair.
