“My prescription?”
The Doctor listened to these words, and his heart was filled with a mix of amusement and frustration.
He had indeed visited the Jia Residence to see Madam Jia and prescribed medicine before, but so many years had passed. If his medicine had truly worked, Madam Jia should have been pregnant long ago, not still waiting until now.
Considering the timing of Madam Jia’s pregnancy, combined with the widely discussed matter of a Fortune Teller in Tianxin Prefecture recently, it seemed Madam Jia’s pregnancy was somehow related to that incident.
But if that were truly the case, then it could basically be concluded that the Fortune Teller had genuinely cured Madam Jia.
Could a Fortune Teller really be more capable than him, a Doctor?
Yet, based on his previous pulse readings, Madam Jia’s body should not have been able to conceive. Those medicines were merely for comfort.
How did that Fortune Teller manage it? Did he perhaps bring out some miraculous immortal medicine?
Otherwise, how could Madam Jia have conceived?
Thinking of Master Jia’s perfunctory tone earlier, his heart was even more filled with doubt.
He carried his medicine box and left the Jia Residence. Not far from the Jia Residence, as he passed by the street ahead, the vendors on the street brightened up when they saw him.
“Doctor Wu, Doctor Wu!”
The street vendors, seeing Doctor Lin walk out of the Jia Residence, vaguely guessed something and immediately called out to him.
Doctor Wu heard the calls from all around him. How could he not know what these people wanted to ask? But the matters within were not something a Doctor like him could casually discuss.
Seeing everyone calling out around him, he simply waved his hand, turned, and hurried away.
Everyone looked on with some surprise, not understanding why Doctor Wu was leaving in such a hurry.
“What do you think happened at the Jia Residence that made Doctor Wu leave so quickly?”
Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes full of surprise.
“Could it be that Madam Jia is pregnant?”
A vendor nearby suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Nothing much had been happening at the Jia Residence recently, so suddenly inviting Doctor Wu to their home must be a big deal.
One must know, Doctor Wu was the most skilled Doctor in Tianxin Prefecture.
The pancake vendor nearby, hearing these words, immediately frowned, “You’ve been talking about this for months! So many months have passed, and there’s been no rumor from the Jia Residence. You’re still thinking about this now? How ridiculous! If Madam Jia could truly conceive, she would have done so long ago. How could there still be no sign of it now?”
The pancake vendor had been quite annoyed these past few months.
Every now and then, he would hear these people bring up this matter, which was truly irritating.
Everyone around couldn't help but laugh at this, “Pregnancy isn’t something that can be seen in an instant. It’s only now that it’s visible, which is quite reasonable.”
“Ridiculous!”
The pancake vendor, hearing these words, immediately scoffed, “Are you saying a Fortune Teller is more capable than a Doctor? Then from now on, you should go to a Fortune Teller when you’re sick, and don’t bother with Doctors.”
Several months had passed, and seeing that there was still no news of Madam Jia’s pregnancy from the Jia Residence, the pancake vendor perked up.
He now dismissed the previous rumors as baseless fabrications.
The others, hearing this, thought for a moment and no one took up his challenge.
After all, it was a fact that the Jia Residence had not yet announced Madam Jia’s pregnancy.
However, since there was still no sign from the Jia Residence, could it be that… their previous guesses were all false?
Just as everyone was secretly muttering to themselves, the next moment they saw several servants walk out of the Jia Residence’s entrance. These servants each carried some brand new decorations, or brooms and buckets, and then began to get busy.
In just a moment, the Jia Residence’s gate became extremely clean, and even the lanterns on it were replaced with new ones.
The crowd, who had quieted down, looked up in surprise when they saw this scene.
Immediately after, someone familiar quietly went forward, preparing to inquire about the news.
A moment later, this person quickly walked back mysteriously. Under everyone’s gaze, he smiled slightly and then immediately spoke.
“I found out! Doctor Wu just went to the Jia Residence for a consultation, and Madam Jia is pregnant! Master Jia is in a great mood right now and has ordered the entire Jia Residence to be cleaned.”
“What?”
Everyone heard this and was stunned, then their eyes instantly widened, staring intently at the person.
“Madam Jia is pregnant?”
Everyone still found it unbelievable after hearing this.
Although they had speculated about this countless times before, hearing it again now still inevitably shocked them.
If Madam Jia was truly pregnant, wouldn't it be just as they had guessed?
“How long has Madam Jia been pregnant?”
The pancake vendor nearby, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and asked.
He urgently wanted to know how long she had been pregnant.
Hearing this, everyone else also looked at the person.
The person, hearing this, thought for a moment and said, “According to Doctor Wu, Madam Jia has been pregnant for several months. Estimating the time, it should be around the time the Fortune Teller left.”
This…
Everyone’s eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief.
Was it really true?
If it really was true, then didn’t that mean the Fortune Teller truly had abilities?
The Jia Residence, which had not had a pregnancy for many years, had this issue resolved so easily by him.
The pancake vendor, hearing this, his eyes flickered, but no one knew what he was thinking.
The others nearby, however, couldn't help but sigh, “If only I had known that Fortune Teller had such abilities, I would have asked him to tell my fortune no matter what!”
At this moment, they no longer had the heart to laugh at others, but were thinking of themselves.
If only they had been able to ask him to tell their fortune at that time.
Although He Xiuyuan had asked for pancakes and hadn't spoken to them, they could have just bought a few pancakes for He Xiuyuan with a few copper coins and then asked He Xiuyuan to tell their fortune. They thought it would have been possible.
They always said the pancake vendor missed the opportunity to change his fate, but thinking about it carefully, they seemed to be the same.
