I just want to live a good life

Chapter 442: Pregnant Face

Hearing that the old doctors could not be called in to treat his son's minor injury, Xia Lian became anxious and wished he could pick up his gun and stab a hole in his youngest son's body.

Seeing Xia Changze narrowly avoid Ye Yin's sword, he couldn't help but shout to Mu Yunting, "Is this all Ye Yin is capable of? Can he be the leader of your secret guards? If he had used that sword to push back and then stab again, Changze would have been stabbed with a bloody hole on the spot."

The two people on the field twitched their mouths at the same time.

Xia Changze thought to himself, you are really my biological father, are you dissatisfied with me for dying too slowly?

Ye Yin wanted to say, "Don't you have any idea, old man? If I had killed you, your son would have more than one bloody hole now."

"See, I told you he's not good enough. He didn't even catch such an obvious flaw in Nagasawa."

Xia Lian ignored the two people's thoughts and continued: "With this level, you can only be a deputy general in the army. If your highness trusts me, I will select a few people from the barracks to be your guards..."

The words became more and more unpleasant, and the veins on Ye Yin's hand holding the sword were already showing.

Xia Changze was extremely nervous. The next moment he felt an extremely strong sword energy sweeping towards him. He was startled and retreated at an extremely fast speed, trying to get out of the range of the sword energy. However, he was still half a beat too slow. His arm was swept by the sword energy, and a burning pain quickly spread up his arm.

The injury must have been serious, but before he could even take a look at the wound, a chill came from his chest.

Xia Changze looked at the dagger stuck in his chest in disbelief, and then looked at its owner along the sword.

"You, for real!"

The next moment, Xia Changze slowly fell to the ground amid the exclamations of the crowd.

"Call the doctor quickly!"

Half an hour later, four carriages stopped in front of the general's mansion. They belonged to the four masters of the Imperial Hospital.

The appearance of these four people caused quite a commotion. Many people speculated that Xia Lian was about to die, as they were able to appear at the same time.

For a time, all the powerful people in the imperial city were asking what had happened to the Xia family.

Then, a servant of the family found out the truth from the Xia family's guard.

Xia Lian's youngest son, Xia Changze, relied on the prestige of his father and brother to provoke the prince's personal guards, but was pierced through the heart by a sword and most of his body was killed on the spot.

Originally, with his status, he was not qualified to invite four old doctors to treat him, but Concubine Xia was very powerful. She had a hold on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said that if Xia Changze died, she would divorce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doted on Concubine Xia very much, so he immediately went to the palace to meet him and asked for an imperial decree to invite the four old doctors.

But no matter how you look at it, it is too exaggerated to invite four people at once. Xia Changze is just a man without an official position. It is a great honor for the Xia family that one of the four can come.

Some people attributed the Emperor's sending of four old doctors at once to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so eager to ask the Emperor for help because of Concubine Xia, so the title of "beauty is the cause of disaster" was thrown at Su Nuan.

Of course, she herself was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, Su Nuan was looking at the four old doctors curiously, and the four old doctors were also looking at her curiously.

After looking at each other for a while, an old doctor whispered to the other three, "She looks pregnant."

The other three nodded repeatedly, and someone even said, "This baby is very precious. Will the emperor ask the four of us to protect her pregnancy?"

"It shouldn't be. It's unlucky for the four of us to die."

Several people agreed with this statement.

Su Nuan's heart started pounding when she heard this. Fortunately, they spoke in low voices, otherwise if someone else heard it, even just a few words would reveal the fact that she was pregnant.

After that, she followed these four people closely, fearing that they would reveal her secret.

Until they sent several people into Xia Changze's yard.

Everyone was asked to wait here, and only four old doctors entered the room.

Su Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've been sick a lot lately. Let these four take your pulse later."

A light sentence floated down from above her head, and Su Nuan's heart, which had just fallen back to its original position, was lifted up again.

"Need not."

She said firmly.

"This is a rare opportunity. These people's medical skills are the best in Nanzhao and no one dares to claim to be second."

Mu Yunting continued.

"That's not necessary. I have Xinyi, and I believe in Xinyi's medical skills."

"How can they be the same? Miss Liao is young after all. She can't compare to the four old doctors in terms of experience and experience."

As soon as Mu Yunting finished speaking, a medicine boy walked out of the room and called Liao Xinyi in.

What follows is a long wait.

In the cold winter, martial artists like Xia Lian and Mu Yunting could still stand standing outside, but others couldn't. So Madam Xia brought everyone to a small courtyard closest to Xia Changze's yard to rest. This was the room of the original owner, Xia Qingyan.

Xia Qingyan lived in this room for several years. Logically, she should have a very deep memory of this place, but Su Nuan has no memory of this courtyard at all.

The eldest sister-in-law, Xu, directed the maid to carry the charcoal basin into the room. There was only one charcoal basin in the huge room, and although there were many people and it was very popular, the charcoal basin was still a bit shabby.

The Xia family members didn't think anything of the charcoal brazier, except Su Nuan, who stared at it with a frown.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only uses a charcoal basin here, which shows how frugal he is in normal times.

Although the Xia family has always lived a frugal life, if a general's mansion is so frugal in using charcoal in winter, it is not frugal, in one word: "poor".

Su Nuan felt unhappy. She had always wanted to help this family earn more money, but she had not been able to do so until now. She felt that she was unworthy of the kindness this family had shown her.

Xu noticed that Su Nuan's face looked strange, so she quickly called the maid and whispered a few words to her. After a while, the maid brought two charcoal basins and placed them next to Su Nuan.

Obviously, Xu misunderstood Su Nuan.

It was not a good time to explain, and Su Nuan did not say anything. She and Madam Xia were sitting close to each other, and the charcoal basin was placed between them, so both of them would benefit.

"Aunt, please forgive me. The Queen said that only bad children need to use two charcoal basins. You are not good."

As soon as the little baby opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

This kid is the third generation of the Xia family and the youngest one in the mansion, Xia Zhuowen, the son of Xia Changxiao.

The little guy looked at Su Nuan with his big bright eyes.

Su Nuan teased him deliberately and said, "What if my aunt gets cold?"

"Mom said if you feel cold, go practice martial arts. Practicing martial arts can make your body strong, and when your body is strong, you won't feel cold. Right, mom?"

After being mentioned twice, Xu wanted to cover her son's mouth.

But since she was asked about it, covering her mouth was useless, so she had to open her mouth to make excuses for herself: "Aunt is different from you. She is a woman, and women are delicate and cannot stand the cold."

"But mother is also a woman, why isn't she afraid of the cold?"

Xu's face froze. It wasn't that she was not afraid of the cold, but she was reluctant to use so much charcoal!

"Mom is an adult now, she's not afraid of the cold."

"My aunt is also an adult. She is taller than mother."

Xu was stumped by the question, and she subconsciously turned to her mother-in-law for help.

Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "My little aunt is not yet a mother. She will be considered an adult only when she becomes a mother."

"When will the little aunt become a mother?"

The childish voice of the little kid echoed in the room, and everyone looked at Mu Yunting.
