The Mad Heiress Played Innocent, and the Third Master Fell Hard - Chapter 8

They stood guard at the door without leaving for a moment.

Lu Yichen and Fu Zhengnan dared not try to persuade him.

I had no choice but to stand beside them and keep them company.

After a while, the man suddenly looked up and instructed the butler, “Have the kitchen prepare some soft and nutritious porridge.”

The butler replied, “Okay.”

He was just about to turn around.

“Wait a minute,” Jiang Yuhuai suddenly called out to him, “Have the kitchen prepare another dish of pickled vegetables, not too much.”

The butler paused for a few seconds, then understood and nodded.

“clear.”

Lu Yichen and Fu Zhengnan looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two of them knew, of course, that the porridge couldn’t have been eaten by Jiang Yuhuai.

But pickled mustard tuber… is a bit hard to understand.

Half an hour later.

Inspection complete.

The door to the treatment room opened from the inside.

Yu Guiwan came out.

Her face was a little pale.

There was a bluish-purple needle mark on my arm.

A small vial of blood was drawn for the examination.

It’s a bit too bright.

Jiang Yuhuai frowned, put his hand on her shoulder, and reached out to press the cotton swab down for her.

“I’ll do it.”

Yu Guiwan pressed it casually, not caring whether it would leave a mark or not. Even if it did, it would disappear in a few days.

But I didn’t expect anyone to care so much.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

Lu Yichen looked at the female doctor behind him and reached out to take the examination report she handed him.

“What was the result?”

The female doctor had a complicated expression on her face.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer Lu Yichen’s question.

By now, Lu Yichen had already seen the report.

His brows were furrowed, and his expression was not good.

We could already roughly see what the problem was.

But after the check-up, even more problems were discovered.

Jiang Yuhuai also noticed the change in his expression.

He glanced at the medical report, didn’t ask anything, and carefully helped Yu Guiwan out to the living room.

“I asked the kitchen to prepare some porridge for you. Are you hungry?”

Yu Guiwan touched her stomach with her other hand. “I’m hungry.”

Her gaze paused, and a flicker of emotion crossed her eyes.

Seeing her actions, Jiang Yuhuai smiled faintly and said, “I’ll have the kitchen bring up the porridge.”

He glanced at the butler.

The butler nodded.

The man helped her walk towards the restaurant.

Yu Guiwan watched him move with extreme caution and care.

My heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, I didn’t seem to know what emotion I was feeling.

The porridge was served quickly.

It was also sprinkled with chopped green onions and cilantro.

In addition, there was a dish of pickled vegetables on the side.

She blinked and looked at the man with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Yuhuai held her arm and said, “Didn’t you say you liked pickled vegetables? So I asked the kitchen to prepare some. Try it and see if you like it.”

Yu Guiwan stared at him for a few seconds, then looked away, picked up the porcelain spoon, scooped up some pickled vegetables, put them in the bowl, stirred them, and then scooped up a small spoonful and put it in her mouth.

I have no idea how the kitchen makes this porridge.

The rice is stewed until soft and tender, and every bite is infused with the aroma of meat, yet without any fishy smell, and has a subtle salty taste.

It’s not as salty as pickled mustard greens.

She paused, stirred the bowl again, and discovered that there were still dried scallops inside.

The warm porridge instantly warmed her empty stomach.

A slight smile curved her lips as she scooped up another bite.

Seeing that she liked it, the butler who was standing not far away breathed a sigh of relief and quickly notified the kitchen.

Tell them to always have the ingredients for porridge ready.

In case Yu Guiwan wants to eat.

Jiang Yuhuai patted her head. “You eat first, I’ll go throw away the cotton swabs.”

Yu Guiwan rarely had a good appetite, so she nodded and then focused on drinking her porridge.

The pickled mustard tuber was also gradually decreasing.

Jiang Yuhuai stared at her for a while before getting up and leaving.

Lu Yichen and Fu Zhengnan followed.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant.

Jiang Yuhuai threw the cotton swab in his hand into the trash can and asked, “So, what’s the result?”

Lu Yichen handed over the report.

“The result wasn’t good; you should be prepared.”

Jiang Yuhuai’s expression remained calm, seemingly unmoved.

He took the report and flipped through it page by page.

Lu Yichen lowered his voice and said, “Her body is severely depleted. She has long suffered from qi and blood deficiency, and her constitution is not very good. Under such circumstances, most other people would experience many complications.”

At this point, he frowned slightly, “But what’s strange is that my sister-in-law’s body seems to be maintaining a delicate balance. Because of this delicate balance, her body won’t have any major problems for the time being.”

There won’t be any major problems, but minor issues will keep arising.

Jiang Yuhuai was also very familiar with this.

After reading the report, he turned to Lu Yichen and asked, “You’ve had a physical exam, but what about a psychological one?”

Lu Yichen was taken aback. “Psychological?”

He had someone call the female doctor from earlier and asked Jiang Yuhuai’s question again.

The female doctor already had a good impression of Yu Guiwan, so she naturally examined her very carefully.

She shook her head. “I’ve already examined that young lady, and there’s nothing wrong with her. She’s mentally healthy.”

Jiang Yuhuai narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

Lu Yichen seemed to have sensed something.

He asked the female doctor to leave first, and then asked Jiang Yuhuai, “No, Third Brother, do you suspect that your sister-in-law has psychological problems?”

Having psychological problems, isn’t that…?

Lu Yichen was momentarily stunned.

Yu Guiwan doesn’t look like it either.

If we’re talking about similarities, I’d guess Jiang Yuhuai is the most similar.

However, he dared not say those words.

Fu Zhengnan frowned as well, “Is it possible that your sister-in-law is faking it, which is why the examination results didn’t show any problems?”

He knew that Jiang Yuhuai wouldn’t suspect something without a reason.

Perhaps Yu Guiwan really does have psychological problems, who knows?

Lu Yichen’s eyes widened slightly. “Old Fu, are you kidding me? How come your sister-in-law could hide anything from the doctor without any problems?”

The doctors trained by the Lu family are no pushovers.

How could you not see the problem?

Fu Zhengnan shrugged and remained silent.

He was only guessing.

Jiang Yuhuai lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

Lu Yichen looked at him, “Third Brother, do you think there’s really something wrong with my sister-in-law?”

Jiang Yuhuai paused for a few seconds, then looked up. “It’s not that I think so.”

That’s true.

“But we couldn’t find anything during the examination just now…”

Lu Yichen was completely dumbfounded.

Jiang Yuhuai also didn’t know what was going on.

But he was certain that she was not in good health at all.

As for how it was determined…

He offered no explanation.
