The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423: Chapter 419: A Neighborly Visit

While Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t a particularly famous doctor, her pulse-reading skills were quite impressive.

Her master came from a line of physicians who had tended to the health of nobility and were especially well-versed in gynecology.

Not only had Gu Jiaojiao learned everything her master knew, but she had even surpassed her teacher—the student had become the master.

She decided she might as well take her own pulse.

Her pulse was faint and thready, and her body felt somewhat frail. It wasn’t a major issue, just a weak constitution. Nothing that a good period of recuperation couldn’t fix.

This was all thanks to the drowning incident her cousin had arranged for her.

To create a plausible reason for her infertility, her predecessor’s stepsister had pushed her into the river. It was winter, and the girl couldn’t swim. That was how her health had been ruined.

As expected, every single one of her cousin’s plot points served a purpose—all to make Gu Jiaojiao’s life more miserable and her death even more tragic.

Too bad for her cousin, but that plan was doomed to fail.

Gu Jiaojiao wrote out a prescription for herself. Seeing the ink was still wet, she blew on it a couple of times.

The prescription was for a gentle formula to nourish her body. She would only need to take it for a while to recover.

The only problem was that she didn’t have a few of the required herbs and would need to buy them at a clinic.

She wasn’t in any hurry, though.

She hadn’t decided whether she wanted to get pregnant yet anyway. Her current physical condition simply gave her more time to think it over.

Just as Gu Jiaojiao put the prescription away, a knock sounded at the door.

She put on her cotton-padded jacket, walked over, and opened the door.

Outside were Chen Xiaoli and Yu Fangfang.

Gu Jiaojiao saw Yu Fangfang’s belly, as round and bulging as a giant watermelon, and quickly stepped aside to let her in.

"Please, come in, you two."

Sweet Girl had three models in total but hadn’t managed to assemble a single one yet.

Xiao Yang had eight Lu Ban Locks and had only managed to solve one so far.

The three boys’ eyes lit up when they heard this.

There weren’t many toys in the countryside. The most exciting games they had involved tossing beanbags or playing with pebbles. The mention of novel toys immediately piqued their interest.

They said their thanks and went to find Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang.

Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang’s room had originally been one large room, and the brother and sister shared it.

This was normal in a rural village.

Most families didn’t have many rooms, so young siblings often slept together.

Gu Jiaojiao, however, felt this wasn’t right.
