Chapter 29. Fainting
Xu Huizhen knew that if the three of them didn't go out, this matter would not be resolved peacefully.

She snorted coldly and led the way out. She wanted to see what tricks the Bai family was going to play today.

As soon as they arrived in the yard, the girl's screams were a bit harsh, and the maids and servants in the yard were in a mess. Xu Huizhen felt a bit headache when she saw this scene. Bai looked quite healthy yesterday, why did she look like this today?
"Look at my sister-in-law sweating profusely. Could something really have gone wrong?" Liu Yun was a little scared. If the news got out that the Gu family had wasted their daughter-in-law's pregnancy, then their good reputation that they had maintained before would be ruined.

Xu Yulan, who thought Bai Suihe was pretending to be sick, didn't dare to say anything at this moment. He looked at Xu Huizhen with a worried look, hoping that his aunt would make a decision quickly.

"How disgraceful! Your Third Young Master's wife wasn't feeling well, and you didn't even tell me earlier? Shut up right now and stop causing trouble here.

Madam Zhou, quickly send orders to call the palace physician and have the sedan chair brought to take the patient back to the courtyard."

Xu Huizhen glanced at everyone fiercely, "If anything happens to Third Young Master's wife, I will only ask you.

There are so many people here who can't serve the master, so it's better to sell them off early."

The maids and old women lowered their heads, knowing that this was a warning from the old lady.

Chunxiang stopped shouting and knew when to stop. Otherwise, even if she was a maid who came with the young lady's dowry, the old lady could still punish her.

When several servants came carrying the sedan chair, she hurriedly and several maids carefully helped Bai Suihe into the sedan chair. Although the weather was not cold yet, the ground was hard.

Only after the sedan left did Xu Huizhen take a deep breath. Bai had been very busy these days and was simply her nemesis.

"My third sister-in-law, she's not pretending, is she?" Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Xu Yulan also started to make sarcastic remarks.

"Whether she's pretending or not, just go and keep an eye on her and see what the court doctor says. If she dares to pretend to be sick and lie to me, I'll give her a good beating." Xu Huizhen glanced at Xu Yulan coldly and said.

Xu Yulan's expression froze. She had forgotten that she had pretended to be sick yesterday. She was just thinking about the third brother returning home yesterday. She wanted to see what good things he brought back and whether she could share more.

"I'll go right away," Xu Yulan didn't dare to stay here, and left in a hurry with the maid.

After leaving the yard, he patted his chest. If he had known that the third brother didn't bring anything back yesterday, he would have had to lie in bed today no matter what.

But this excuse was used yesterday, and now Bai Shi didn't know whether she was really sick or just pretending, so she definitely couldn't make up such an excuse again.

No, I have to hide the bracelet when I get back. The hole in the Xu family is still waiting to be filled, and I can't let my aunt get the chance.

Bai Suihe was carried all the way to the yard, and the maids and servants in the third room were all anxious.

If the master is not a good person, then the servants will suffer as well.

"Hurry, the court doctor is here." Just as the person was placed on the couch, a maid brought the court doctor in, followed closely by Xu Yulan.

Xu Yulan usually hated coming to the third courtyard the most. Every decoration and arrangement here made her side look poor and innocent.

Not to mention the ornaments, even the tea sets are the most ordinary. Look at the tea sets on the table, they are like white jade and you can tell at first glance that they are worth a lot of money.

Several maids surrounded the court doctor, chattering, "Sir, please help the Third Young Master's wife quickly. She's sweating all over and has fainted again."

"Sir, please, our Third Young Master's wife is pregnant. Is she overly tired from standing for so long?"

Before he could finish his words, he used the help of a few maids to cover up and stuffed another purse into the palace doctor's pocket.

The third house has always been so generous, and the court physician is already familiar with the place. He quietly put the purse in his arms and said, "Don't worry if you are anxious. I will definitely take the pulse of the third young master's wife." Xu Yulan curled her lips. There are quite a few maids and servants here at the third young master's wife's place, and all of them are so pretty. There is no need to worry about Gu Kaiyuan having any ideas by putting so many little fairies in the room.

But I didn’t see the third brother in the yard. Could it be that he couldn’t stay at home and went out again?
Such a grown man, who has accomplished nothing, let's see what he will do when the family is divided in the future.

Thinking of Gu Kaichen who was still studying in the academy, Xu Yulan felt that she was capable again.

As long as her husband enters the officialdom like her father and brother, she will be able to be granted an imperial title. Even if Bai has a large dowry now, it doesn't matter. She will only be a commoner and can only look up to her in the future.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but show off her pride and raised her chin high.

When Chunxiang saw this scene, she wondered what the Second Young Master's wife was up to, but it was good that she didn't interfere, so she didn't want to pay any attention to her.

As for serving tea, forget it. The yard is a mess. If she really wants to be particular, then she has no business doing that.

The court doctor sighed inwardly. He had not expected that the Third Young Master's wife, who had always been honest and filial, could now use these tricks with such ease. Her pulse was so strong, no worse than those of the strong men.

"Hmm..." He pretended to be deep and said, "It's hard to tell from the pulse. The fetus in my belly is fine now, but it still needs more rest.

I'll prescribe a few more abortion-preserving medicines later, and you can prepare them for your Third Young Master's wife."

It depends on the physical condition of the Third Young Master's wife. There will be no problem if she takes the pregnancy-preserving medicine.

"Then why did the Third Young Master's wife faint?"

"As for a pregnant woman, her body will be weaker than usual, and she should avoid extreme mood swings. You should just go along with her these days."

The court doctor glanced at the second young woman standing beside him. This one pretended to be sick yesterday, but she was full of energy today. He didn't know what the meaning was.

This Gu family is really interesting. They are all infected with the habit of pretending to be sick.

But he was invited in by Lord Gu. Doctors have a kind heart, and giving money to ward off evil is another way to cure diseases.

However, the second young master's wife is not as generous as the third young master's wife. Don't blame him for what he said yesterday about copying and even recommending that they go outside to hire a doctor.

"Sir, my sister-in-law's body and the baby in her belly will be fine."

"Of course, as long as you follow the doctor's advice and take good care of yourself, there will definitely be no problem.

"But Madam Third Young Master, please stop struggling and try to sit or stand for as little time as possible. Focus on your meditation and you will surely be able to give birth to the young master safely."

Bai Suihe closed his eyes and heard the court doctor talking nonsense in a serious tone. He almost couldn't help laughing. He quickly pretended to be uncomfortable and turned over to cover it up.

"Let the Third Young Master's wife have a good rest," the court doctor was very considerate. He carried his medicine box on his back and said to Chunxiang, "I'll write a prescription when I get home. You can take it and go out to buy medicine.

There are some medicines that are not available in the mansion, so I’d like to trouble you to go there.”

"Thank you for your trouble, sir," Chunxiang quickly asked a little girl to follow.
