Chapter 361: Chapter 362: Too Worried About Your Health

He feared that Lin Fuying cared too much about the child, so even if there were discomforts in her body, she would keep them from him.

Little did he know, the guilt-ridden Lin Fuying had already completely misunderstood his intentions.

She spoke with a forcefully calm yet fragile voice, "Brother Bai, do you really think that I would deceive you about something so important?"

Before Bai Wuheng could react, her eyes had already begun to turn slightly red.

She looked at him with a face full of hurt, "Brother Bai, is that what you think of me?"

"Can it be that you have forgotten what you said when you were young, that you would protect me for a lifetime?"

If these words were heard by others, they might seem somewhat self-serving.

But Lin Fuying knew Bai Wuheng’s character well.

As long as he had promised something, he would definitely do it, no matter what.

That is why she dared to exploit Bai Wuheng so recklessly.

"Of course not, Yingying. I’m just too worried about your health," he said.

"You know, you’ve been frail since you were young, I worry that this child will add to your burden."

When Bai Wuheng heard her say this, he immediately cast all suspicion to the back of his mind.

Lin Fuying touched her own belly, speaking with a touch of shyness, "But after all, this child is mine and Yunting’s child, our bloodline, even if it costs me my life, I would give birth to this child."

Even though she was not pregnant at the moment.

But Lin Fuying still acted as if it were real.

Seeing her expression, a pang of heartache still involuntarily flashed across Bai Wuheng’s face.

His feelings for Lin Fuying, although mostly involved silent protection from behind, after so many years of association,

seeing her do this for Ye Yunting still made him feel lost.

He forced a smile and said, "Rest assured, I will definitely help you until the child is safely born."

Bai Wuheng’s words naturally made Lin Fuying feel immensely guilty.

But she dared to take a risky move, surely having prepared to never let the day of exposure come.

She dismissed Bai Wuheng with a few perfunctory words and then found an excuse to let him go back first.

Even if Bai Wuheng discovered the truth, she similarly had a way to deal with it, and didn’t need to worry too much.

What worried her, on the other hand, was something else.

...

On Chu Nanli’s side, she had actually not uncovered much useful information.

Given that it concerned Lin Xuanxuan’s reputation, she could not make a big show of having people investigate.

However, both she and Lin Xuanxuan were well aware.

Those people were definitely directed by Lin Fuying.

Otherwise, with Lin Xuanxuan’s usual behavior of not stepping outside, how could she possibly have offended such people?

Since nothing could be found on this matter, Chu Nanli naturally had to try other means.

She soon received news.

The caravan that might have had contact with Wan Guniang had returned to the capital ahead of schedule.

Upon hearing this, she immediately had Chu Yi connect with the leader of the caravan.

Now, her pregnancy was nearly five months along.

Moving around was inconvenient wherever she went, and many things had to be tasked to Chu Yi and Yanyan.

And Chu Yi’s visit took half a day, only returning in the evening.

Seeing the expression on Chu Yi’s face, Chu Nanli knew that his trip out today must have yielded much.

Sure enough, Chu Yi quickly spoke, "Master, that Wan Guniang really isn’t dead!"

That time, it was the first time Lin Fuying had taken a life, and under such circumstances, she simply had no way to check whether Wan Guniang was dead or alive.

It was indeed fortunate for Lady Wan that she floated downstream and happened to encounter that merchant caravan.

However, the caravan was merely passing by and the people in it were not locals from the capital.

Regrettably, after Lady Wan regained consciousness, it was likely due to hitting her head in the water that she not only lost all her memory, but also became mentally impaired, forgetting even her own name.

Because of this, the merchant caravan was unable to find her family and could only leave her in that village.

Fortunately, they did not send Lady Wan back.

Otherwise, Lin Fuying would have definitely received news of Lady Wan’s survival much earlier.

"My subordinate has already had her taken for a bath, and once she is ready, will bring her to see you, Master."

Perhaps it was retribution.

The caravan, by saving Lady Wan and placing her in that village, had done their moral duty.

Naturally, they did not care what happened to Lady Wan after they left.

The household that temporarily took in Lady Wan took advantage of her mental impairment and constantly mistreated her.

If she was not so old, she would probably have been sent to the brothel by now.

When Chu Yi arrived, Lady Wan had already been driven into the sheep pen, competing with animals for food every day.

Soon, Yanyan, along with two maid servants, brought Lady Wan up.

If Xiaoyun were here, she might not even recognize that this was her aunt.

Two months ago, due to her habit of eating and drinking well, Lady Wan’s face still appeared well-nourished.

Now, she had already become emaciated, and when facing Chu Nanli, she did not even dare to raise her head.

Chu Nanli noticed that there was a crusted wound on her forehead, which was likely the cause of her current condition.

Chu Yi spoke directly, "When we were coming back, I tried asking her, and she likely is not pretending."

He also suspected that Lady Wan was pretending to be insane out of fear.

However, after testing her, he found that Lady Wan truly had become mentally impaired.

"The human brain can indeed behave like this after suffering an impact."

Chu Nanli stared at Lady Wan, pondered for a moment, and quickly spoke again.

"Like this, tomorrow go out and have that youngster Zhuang Muyan come over."

Although not quite clear about Chu Nanli’s intentions, Chu Yi still went to the Zhuang Family and brought Zhuang Muyan over.

As soon as Zhuang Muyan heard that Chu Nanli wanted to see him, he quickly dropped what he was doing and eagerly followed Chu Yi.

During this period, he had been busy with affairs of the Imperial Medical Bureau and had hardly been to see Chu Nanli for nearly half a month.

Upon seeing Chu Nanli, his eyes lit up, "Master called me over, do you have any task for me to undertake?"

If Zhuang Lin were here, seeing his cheap demeanor, he would find it unbearable to watch.

"You have studied medicine with me for quite some time now, and it is time to test you."

Chu Nanli gave Chu Yi a look, and Chu Yi immediately understood, bringing Lady Wan over.

Yesterday, Yanyan, along with others, had cleaned Lady Wan.

But in less than a day, she had already become filthy again.

Seeing Lady Wan in such a state, Zhuang Muyan was initially startled, but quickly stepped forward to observe her closely.

"Master, she must have experienced some external force to end up like this, right?"

Truly a disciple taught by her.

A flash of satisfaction passed through Chu Nanli’s eyes, and she quickly spoke, "Indeed, I called you here today to have you use what I taught you during this period to heal her."

Suddenly burdened with such a responsibility, Zhuang Muyan began to lose confidence.

"Master, I feel that I haven’t fully mastered the skills you’ve taught me; would it be too risky to attempt this now..."

This youngster, usually so confident, why is he now starting to second-guess himself.
