Chapter 263: It’s Really Happening
But the elder Huang Family departed from her usual insistence.
"No, we must go and see. Even if it’s not to stop the vomiting, we must have the doctor take her pulse to see if my great-grandson is all right."
The house was left with just these few women, with Gu Xiaoqing off embroidering her dowry, each of them preoccupied with their thoughts.
In the end, under the elder Huang’s insistence, Lei Qianqian still went to find the doctor from the neighboring village, Doctor Sun.
They chose him because he was nearby, because he charged less, and his medical skills were mediocre at best, which made him least likely to diagnose the pregnancy correctly.
Identifying a pregnancy pulse was a minor task for a doctor, something even an apprentice could do; she only needed Doctor Sun to confirm whether Lei Qianqian was pregnant.
Although visiting Gu Youyou would have been free, she did not want to take this matter to Gu Youyou. Gu Youyou was a daughter married out from the Gu Family; the fewer people who knew of this family disgrace, the less shame would be cast. The most important thing was to not give Gu Youyou cause for ridicule. She had made it very clear, if Qianqian was pregnant, it definitely would not be a child of the Gu Family.
Of course, it would be best if Lei Qianqian were merely suffering from a bout of indigestion and not pregnant at all.
