Chapter 2313: Chapter 2313: I’m Not Pregnant?!

"It’s nothing."

Lin Caisang smiled faintly and placed her hand on the wrist of the City Lord’s wife.

But after only a moment, the smile lingering on her lips quickly faded. She looked up, her gaze sweeping swiftly over the City Lord’s wife.

Then, she resumed checking her pulse. Yet, as time passed, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Madam Sui, is there something wrong with my pulse?" The City Lord’s wife, noticing the change in her expression, asked with concern.

Nearby, Dong’er also grew increasingly anxious.

She knew her lady’s worries were not unfounded. That Lu Tianfeng was truly a scoundrel—he couldn’t even leave her lady’s unborn child alone!

"Madam Sui..."

Just as Dong’er was about to voice her question, Lin Caisang’s hand, which had been resting on the City Lord’s wife’s wrist, was already withdrawn.

"Madam Ding’s body is fine. Although her age is slightly advanced, it is still possible for her to conceive." Lin Caisang said, looking at her.

"What?"

The City Lord’s wife looked at her, puzzled.

"Madam Sui, what do you mean by that?"

What did she mean by saying it was "possible to conceive"? Wasn’t she already pregnant?

She was carrying her husband’s child, their flesh and blood. Could it be... could it be a false pregnancy?

"You mean... I’m not pregnant?!"

Impossible. Her pregnancy wasn’t only confirmed by Lu Tianfeng, but also by the other alchemists in the City Lord’s Mansion. It was a certainty—how could it be false?

"Yes, something like that." Lin Caisang nodded, neither confirming nor denying directly.

"What?"

Hearing her words, not only the City Lord’s wife but also Dong’er exclaimed in shock.

"That’s impossible! How could my lady not be pregnant? Several alchemists have checked, and they all confirmed she was pregnant—they only said the fetus was unstable and needed various tonics to sustain it!"

Dong’er protested.

She was clearly pregnant. How could an alchemist now suddenly claim otherwise?

"Madam Sui, could you have made an error in your diagnosis? Would you mind checking her pulse again?" she suggested.

"No matter how many times I check, it will be the same." Lin Caisang chuckled softly, shaking her head.

At that moment, she had yet to connect this lady in front of her with the City Lord’s wife. She assumed she was a relative from the Ding Family.

"Madam Ding’s pulse does indeed closely resemble that of a pregnancy. Virtually every alchemist who checks it would also interpret it as a pregnancy pulse."

"So... so what is it, really?"

At this moment, the City Lord’s wife felt as though a bucket of icy water had been poured over her, chilling her to the core.

Her lips grew numb, and she stammered as she asked.

She wasn’t pregnant? She wasn’t pregnant? She truly wasn’t pregnant?

For the sake of this child, she had been overjoyed multiple times, believing the City Lord’s Mansion was finally welcoming a new life.

But now, someone was telling her she wasn’t pregnant after all.

"In the Hundred-snatch Cold Gully, there is a type of flower known as the Heavenly Frost Night Leaf. Its stems and leaves are fiery red, and they burn the skin upon contact. Yet, its blossoms are an icy blue, coated in a thick layer of frost."

Lin Caisang explained the Heavenly Frost Night Leaf to her.

"I... could it be that I’ve been poisoned by the Heavenly Frost Night Leaf?"

The City Lord’s wife murmured.

She knew about this Heavenly Frost Night Leaf. Consuming it could mimic pregnancy symptoms in women, and the effect could last for three months, even fooling many skilled alchemists.
