Chapter 1102: Chapter 1101 Nagging 1

Feng Qingxue felt disappointed, "You can’t figure it out either?"

She had thought that great national doctors like Guo Ming and Wu Zheng would easily be able to discern the result she wanted to know.

Wu Zheng gave her a sideways glance, "I’m human, not a fairy. At such an early stage of the pregnancy, how can I be certain whether you’re carrying a single baby or twins? Even listening to the fetal heartbeat may not reveal anything for certain. However, in Traditional Chinese Medicine we combine observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking, and based on what you’ve described, it is certainly twins without a doubt. Your pregnancy is not as stable as Xibao’s was, so you must be careful to take care of yourself."

Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, "You’re right, I was too anxious. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, one or two, it’s all the same to Ajiang and me—just have to focus on staying healthy and delivering the baby smoothly."

Upon hearing that Feng Qingxue was carrying twins, Mrs. Wu was very happy for her and quickly had her sit down to rest and poured her some water.

"There’s no need to fuss, I just came to see how you two elders are doing. It’s busy on the farm at home, so I’ll have to head back soon." Feng Qingxue took out the gifts she brought in her carrying basket and said with a smile, "Also, I have another piece of news to tell Mr. Wu—I’ve taken a master in the Capital, a true in-chamber disciple. Guess who it is."

Wu Zheng waved his hand dismissively, "I know many colleagues in the Capital, how would I know who you’ve taken as a master?"

"My master’s surname is Guo," Feng Qingxue hinted.

"Guo Ming?" Seeing Feng Qingxue nod, Wu Zheng and his wife both exclaimed in surprise, then Wu Zheng said, "It seems your medical skills have improved rapidly over the years; otherwise, it would have been difficult to catch Old Guo’s discerning eye. He’s quite picky about taking apprentices, demanding both good temperament and talent."

Feng Qingxue said with a smile, "It’s because my master was willing to overlook my slow learning that he was willing to take me on as a disciple who started halfway."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said earnestly, "Your talent is very good. I didn’t take you as my disciple at the time because I wanted to see if you could persevere. Little did I expect that today, a few years later, Old Guo would beat me to it."

The old man was filled with regret, but it was too late, leaving only a sigh.

Feng Qingxue had never imagined that Wu Zheng had such a reason for not taking her on as a disciple and was utterly surprised, "In my heart, you and my master are no different. If it weren’t for your selfless teaching at the start, I wouldn’t have made it to where I am today. My master agreeing to take me as a disciple is largely thanks to you."

Wu Zheng was open-minded and did not dwell on the regret, "Being apprenticed to Old Guo is good; his medical skills are even superior to mine, and he never hides anything. Is he doing well now?"

"Quite well, as one of the main doctors by the old leader’s side, living in the courtyard, he has a lot of time to delve into medical research."

After listening to Feng Qingxue, Wu Zheng understood and nodded, "That’s good, being safe and sound is better than anything. But when did you come back? And when did you go to the Capital?"

Feng Qingxue picked out the important details of her recent circumstances to share with the elderly couple.

As Wu Zheng listened, he nodded, "So it seems you’ll be returning to the army in a few days."

"Yes, my three-month leave is almost over, I must depart on the scheduled date. There aren’t many days left when I think about it." Feng Qingxue had grown accustomed to the lively warmth of home, and to learning from the master at home, and felt somewhat reluctant to leave. Yet, she knew her work was important too, and in such a situation, she could only give up one thing for the sake of another.
