Chapter 62 Threatened Abortion
The human heart is unpredictable, just like the twinkling stars. Ruogu doesn’t know what Fu Juan is thinking, but as long as she has a clear conscience, that’s enough.

Xu Xinran had a good sleep in between Ji Xi and the others' conversation. Her clothes were soaked with sweat. After waking up, she felt she had regained her original energy and spirit, and was in great shape.

She got out of bed and put on her coat. She didn't feel her legs numb even when she was standing. Xu Xinran looked happy.

She had previously questioned the boss's medical skills, which was really wrong.

Just as she was about to step out, the door of the ward was pushed open. Seeing her standing there, Ji Xi chuckled and said, "How are you? Have you recovered?"

Xu Xinran smiled and nodded. Her voice was hoarse from waking up, and she whispered:
"Sister-in-law's medical skills are amazing. I won't go to the hospital when I get sick in the future. I'd rather come to Jishiditang directly to save trouble."

Ji Xi reached out and touched her forehead, saying with a look of reproach:

"You wish! Sister-in-law is not your family doctor. We just happened to be on the same route this time, and you are anxious to join the crew for filming. Otherwise, how would you have the time to come here?"

Xu Xinran shrugged. Ji Xi was telling the truth. She was running around the world for announcements. She could just endure a minor illness and had no time to come here.

She took Ji Xi's arm and said, "Are we leaving soon?"

Ji Xi nodded slightly, "If we don't leave now, we will have to leave in the early morning. We can't miss the crew's opening ceremony."

Although Xu Xinran occasionally had a temper like a young lady, she was very ambitious. She said softly, "Then let's go say goodbye to my sister-in-law and leave early."

Ji Xi drove himself and could leave at any time. A new batch of medicinal materials had arrived at Jishidiang. Ruogu was checking the materials with He Hui. When Xu Xinran came out, Ruogu held an unknown medicinal material in his hand and sniffed it lightly.

She frowned slightly and said to He Hui, "The quality of the medicinal materials delivered this time is too poor. They are all crudely made. The smell of soaking in chemicals is too obvious. We will return them all."

He Hui's face was gloomy, and he said in a serious tone: "I will contact the logistics company immediately to call back and I will change the manufacturer to purchase the goods."

Ruogu nodded slightly in agreement, and said seriously: "This matter can be big or small. Many patients who come to the clinic directly get medicine here to decoct. Poor quality of medicinal materials will affect the efficacy of the medicine. It's okay for minor illnesses, but the consequences of major illnesses are unimaginable."

He Hui knew the seriousness of the matter, and he said in a steady voice: "I know this matter well. I will also explain it clearly to the manufacturer when I replace it later. If there is a mistake once, it will not be used again."

Ruogu still believed in He Hui's ability to do things, so he just had to make it clear. Ruogu turned around and saw Ji Xi and the others waiting by the side. He chuckled and said, "How do you feel, Xinran? Do you still have strength?"

Xu Xinran was surprised to be called by the lady boss. She said hesitantly, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I feel much better now. Your medicine is really effective."

Ruogu waved at her gently, smiling, "Let me check your pulse again. This disease is likely to recur, so you have to continue taking the medicine. Zhengzheng has boiled a course of medicine for you and packaged it in a sealed bag. It's easy to carry. Just warm it up a little when you drink it."

Xu Xinran was very touched. She said softly, "I will take the medicine well. I am in good health and feel fully recovered."

Ruogu was carefully feeling her pulse. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You are indeed recovering well. Don't get caught in the rain or cold during this period."

Ji Xi stepped forward and assured, "That definitely won't happen this time. She won't have any scenes where she'll get caught in the rain or go into the water."

Ruogu smiled and nodded. She was not the kind of person who liked to nag, so just giving her instructions was enough. Xu Xinran took the medicine and set off again without wasting any time.

There are fewer patients in the clinic in the afternoon, but Chi Zhengzheng still records her daily life. Ruogu’s fans on the short video platform have exceeded five million. Seeing that she really does not sell goods through live streaming, her fans’ love for her has also become much more sincere.

There are still people who come from far away to see her, but most of them come to her for treatment, and Ruogu is very satisfied with this.

He Hui was guarding the front hall, tidying up the medicine cabinet and watching the door. Ruogu had nothing to do, so he moved a rattan chair to the backyard.

She lay on it, holding a book in her hands, flipping through it quietly, immersing herself in the knowledge in the book and enjoying the comfort brought by the words.

As soon as she turned the page, He Hui hurried over and shouted in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, there is a guest in the clinic. It is Mrs. Yang, Tao Jiaxin."

Yang Mingsheng's second marriage was not a big deal. The two simply got a marriage certificate, but it was officially announced, so anyone who is slightly sensitive to the entertainment industry knows about it.

Ruogu's eyes were confused. Xiaoze had just passed away not long ago, and Tao Jiaxin should still be grieving at this time. Even if she wanted to thank him, she could just make a phone call instead of coming in person. She stood up and asked, "How is Tao Jiaxin doing?"

He Hui whispered: "Miss Tao looks pale and weak. She might be here to see a doctor."

He Hui had seen many patients coming to the clinic and had developed a certain ability to judge. Ruogu understood what was going on and walked out with steady steps.

When Tao Jiaxin saw her, she felt like she had seen a savior. She held Ruogu's hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and she choked up and said:

"Doctor Chen... please help me... I feel sick in my stomach... I'm scared."

Ruogu's face changed slightly, and he helped her sit down, and asked gently: "You feel uncomfortable in your stomach? Do you know what's going on?"

Tao Jiaxin cried, "I'm pregnant and have symptoms of threatened miscarriage. I don't trust the doctors in the hospital, so I asked the assistant to bring me to you..."

Ruogu's face became serious, and she said solemnly: "You should stay in bed and rest at this time. It's very dangerous to run around like this."

Tao Jiaxin said stubbornly: "The doctors in the hospital are not good enough. I don't trust them. I will only feel at ease if you treat me."

Ruogu didn't know what to say, so she said calmly, "Don't sit there, go lie down on the bed first, I'll take your pulse."

Tao Jiaxin obediently walked to the ward. After she lay down, He Hui brought a pulse pillow over. Ruogu placed it under her wrist and explained softly:

"There wasn't much going on in the clinic, and the only nurse had other work to do, so I asked her to do something else."

Tao Jiaxin said indifferently: "It's okay, as long as you are here, I feel at ease when I see you."

Ruogu smiled at her gently, his fingertips resting on her pulse. Tao Jiaxin said weakly, "I have back pain and abdominal pain, and my lower abdomen always feels like it's falling. I even had a little bleeding this morning..."

Ruogu took back her hand after feeling the pulse, and said calmly:
"It's not a big problem, it's just that the fetus is unstable. I'll prescribe some medicine for you and you just need to take good care of yourself."

Tao Jiaxin was delighted when she heard this. She reached out and touched her abdomen, and asked worriedly, "Don't you need acupuncture?"

Ruogu shook his head, "It's not that serious, don't be nervous, relaxing is good for the fetus."

Tao Jiaxin smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not be nervous? You should have heard about the situation of the Yang family. Although I am Mrs. Yang, there is still a powerful original wife in the company, and the eldest daughter at home is eyeing me covetously. It is really difficult for me to move forward..." Ruogu did not want to get involved in their family affairs. She said in a calm voice:

"Does Mr. Yang know about your pregnancy?"

Tao Jiaxin said with some worry: "I haven't had time to tell him in detail. I'm afraid that I can't keep the baby and let him be happy for nothing. I just came to thank you. I really need to thank you. If it weren't for you, Xiaoze wouldn't be so happy during his last period."

Ruogu smiled and said softly:
"As long as it can make you feel less regretful, talk to Mr. Yang about your pregnancy. If you are not happy living in the villa at home, then move out to take care of the pregnancy. Do whatever makes you happy."

Tao Jiaxin had no blood relatives. This child meant more to her than just gaining a foothold in the Yang family. Ruogu's words gave her a sense of enlightenment. With a gleam in her eyes, she said in a low voice:

"You have a point. I don't get along with the eldest lady. I am not in a good mood when we are together day and night. It is better for me to come out and take care of the baby."

Ruogu nodded, and she said in a steady and calm voice:

"You must stay in a good mood so that the baby can be raised well. I will prescribe you a dose of Jiawei Suo Zai Tang to regulate your body. The Atractylodes macrocephala, Codonopsis pilosula, Poria cocos, Chinese yam, and licorice in the prescription can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, so that the qi and blood are sufficient, and the fetus can be nourished and carried. Only in this way can the fetus be strong."

Tao Jiaxin's face was filled with maternal radiance, and her eyes were gentle as she said:
"Thank you, Doctor Chen. I'll boil some medicine for you. If you're not busy, I'd like to lie here for a while. I feel more at ease with you around."

Tao Jiaxin had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked like she hadn't slept well. Ruogu would not refuse this request, so she said gently:

"If you're not in a hurry to go back, you can stay for dinner."

Tao Jiaxin's eyes lit up. "How about I buy a house near your house to protect my pregnancy? Wanling has mountains and water, fresh air, and convenient transportation. I can find you the first time I have any questions. How convenient."

Ruogu looked surprised and said, "I have no objection to you staying here to take care of your pregnancy, but Mr. Yang is very busy, so he can't come to accompany you."

Tao Jiaxin looked indifferent. "His interest in me has long passed. He doesn't lack company. As long as I take good care of the baby and give him a son, he won't have any objections."

Ruogu smiled and said no more, "Then you close your eyes and rest. I'll go get some medicine and ask Sister Yang to boil it for you."

Tao Jiaxin nodded in agreement. After taking her pulse, she felt that her lower abdomen was not so uncomfortable anymore. A faint scent of medicine lingered at the tip of her nose. Her eyelids became heavier and she fell asleep soon.

Sister Yang was more skilled at decocting medicine than Chi Zhengzheng. When she came out with the medicine bowl, Tao Jiaxin was already fast asleep. Ruogu told her not to disturb her, saying that rest would be more effective for her than taking medicine.

Tao Jiaxin slept for more than two hours before waking up. The assistant accompanying her carefully reminded her, "Madam, Mr. Yang called you and asked you to reply to him when you wake up."

Tao Jiaxin frowned slightly, her good mood was completely ruined, she said lazily:
"There's no rush. I haven't taken my medicine yet. Go out and take it first."

The assistant didn't dare to be too strict and had to let her do what she wanted.

As soon as Huaixi came home from school, she saw Tao Jiaxin. She went up to her politely and said hello, "Hello, Auntie Tao!"

Tao Jiaxin liked Huai Xi very much, and she greeted her with a smile.

Ruogu waited for them to finish talking, then handed the warm medicine to Tao Jiaxin and said gently, "Drink the medicine first."

Tao Jiaxin smiled at Huaixi, took the medicine bowl and drank it all. She trusted Ruogu very much, and Huaixi did not ask curiously. Sister Yang came out from the backyard, wiping her hands with her apron and shouting to Ruogu: "Madam, can we have dinner?"

Ruogu nodded slightly at her, Huaixi turned around and walked towards Sister Yang, saying in a friendly tone:
"Sister Yang, I'll help you serve the dishes."

Sister Yang is very sensible in her actions. The dishes she prepares are all suitable for pregnant women. Tao Jiaxin hasn't felt such a simple and lively atmosphere for a long time. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rise.

Ruogu never puts on airs. She is low-key and modest when interacting with others. The more she is like this, the more respected she is. The atmosphere at the dinner table is relaxed. Huaixi approaches Ruogu and says:

"Mom, the school has an autumn outing tomorrow. I want to go hiking with my classmates."

Ruogu said gently, "It's good to participate in group activities. Do I have to pay?"

Huai Xi waved her hand and said briskly, "There is no entrance fee to Jingting Mountain, so you don't need to pay. Just prepare some fruit snacks for me."

Ruogu nodded in agreement. She knew Huaixi didn't like snacks, so she must have prepared them for her classmates. Although Huaixi had a cold personality, Ruogu didn't need to worry too much about her interpersonal relationships.

After dinner, Tao Jiaxin left with her assistant. As soon as they got in the car, the assistant gently reminded her, "Madam, it's time to call Mr. Yang back."

Although Tao Jiaxin was impatient, she didn't say anything. The assistant's salary was paid by Yang Mingsheng, so it was understandable that she was on his side.

She took out her cell phone and tactfully called Yang Mingsheng. It was his secretary who answered the phone. Yang Mingsheng was attending a dinner party.

She waited for a while before she heard Yang Mingsheng's voice, "Wife, how are you? Does your stomach still hurt?"

Tao Jiaxin frowned slightly. She thought she had hidden it well, but in fact he already knew it.

Tao Jiaxin said softly: "Doctor Chen took my pulse and found some symptoms of threatened miscarriage. I feel much better after taking the medicine."

Yang Mingsheng is in his forties and has only one daughter, Yang Baozhu. He has been hoping for a son for a long time. When he first heard the news that Tao Jiaxin was pregnant, he was extremely happy. But when he knew there was a risk of miscarriage, he was also very anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything for fear of affecting Tao Jiaxin's mood.

He trusted Doctor Chen's medical skills, so he didn't stop her from coming. He was old and had a child, so he was naturally worried about her. Hearing this, he comforted her, "With Doctor Chen's medicine, she will be fine."

Tao Jiaxin hummed, and said coquettishly:

"I feel much more comfortable staying with Wanling. Our son is precious, and I only trust Doctor Chen. Otherwise, you can help me buy a suite here to help me stay pregnant."

Yang Mingsheng pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"You can stay in Wanling to take care of your pregnancy, but you must come back when the baby is born. This way it will be convenient for the old man and his family to see their grandson. I can't go there every day, so you can't be angry with me."

Tao Jiaxin said cheerfully, "Why would I be angry? I know you are making money for our son. I am still staying in a hotel. You have to arrange a house as soon as possible."

Yang Mingsheng said lovingly, "Okay, okay, okay... I'll arrange it for you this week, you just need to cooperate and sign."

Tao Jiaxin's eyes were deep, and she said delicately, "Thank you, husband..."
