Mrs Yan waved her hand. “I had my window open when I took a nap the other day and I caught a cold. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine. It’s not even close to some incurable disease. The girl is talking nonsense!”
Yan Yan glared at Feng Wu. “What more do you have to say?!”
Feng Wu smiled. “Concealing a malady and refusing to consult a doctor is the worst habit. If you don’t cherish your life, no one else will cherish it for you.”
Mrs Yan glowered. “That’s enough! How dare a girl like you meddle in my business! That’s out of line!”
Feng Wu gave Mrs Yan a half-smile and sighed. “Mrs Yan, do try to stay calm. The blood clot in your head will explode if you get too excited and I might be blamed for your death. I won’t be able to defend myself if that happens. So, please go back as calmly as you can manage.”
“You brat —” Yan Yan wanted to hit Feng Wu.
Feng Wu waved her hand at her. “Miss Yan, if I were you, I’d spend more time with your mother in her last days.”
“Young lady, that’s not a very nice thing to say.” Mrs Ning stared at Feng Wu. She had liked Feng Wu in the beginning, but not so much anymore.
Feng Wu shifted her gaze to Mrs Ning’s belly. She frowned and asked Mrs Ning, “Do you mind if I feel your pulse?”
“Yes, we do!” Yan Yan rejected Feng Wu right away. “Do you have any idea who she is? She’s the wife of the governor of Anyuan Province. What if you try something when you feel her pulse? Plus, there’s something so aggressive about you. Who knows what that aura will do to my aunt?”
Mrs Ning gestured at Yan Yan to quieten down, then gave Feng Wu her hand. “I think the young lady does know a thing or two about medicine. Please feel my pulse and tell me what you think.”
A few steps away, Feng Liu and Feng Yiran exchanged looks. What a load of bullshit Feng Wu was coming up with! They had no idea that she knew anything about medicine at all.
Feng Wu felt Mrs Ning’s pulse and drew back her fingers in less than three seconds.
Both Yan Yan and Mrs Yan smiled in contempt.
All doctors felt a pulse for different lengths of time, but no one could feel it for as short as three seconds. One might not even find a pulse in so short a time. The girl was nothing but a pretty face.
“Aunt, she’s bluffing again. I knew it.” Yan Yan snickered.
Feng Wu smiled. “Mrs Ning is eight months pregnant. Of the twins, one of them is well developed with adequate nutrition. The other one, though... Plus, their umbilical cords are wrapped around their necks. I’m afraid you’re going to have a difficult labor.”
” Pffft — ” Yan Yan burst into laughter. “Aunt, I told you. I knew she was going to exaggerate just to scare you. She’s going to swindle money out of you now!”
Mrs Ning ignored Yan Yan. Keeping her gaze on Feng Wu, she asked, “They?”
Feng Wu nodded. “You’re having boy and girl twins.”
“Hahahaha —” Yan Yan laughed loudly. “Aunt, just look at her fake sincerity. Twins, she says? And boy and girl twins? That’s ridiculous. All the medicine refiners we consulted before we left told us that you were going to have one baby.”
Feng Wu looked at Mrs Ning and said in an indifferent tone, “There are two babies. But the girl is being robbed of all her nutrition and her heart is barely beating. Together with the umbilical cord around her neck, I don’t think she’ll have much of a chance.”
