Chapter 451: 52



334  Nan Batian frowned and turned to the butler and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Du Juan and keep an eye on him."

  After hearing this, the butler immediately said, "Yes."

  Then Nan Batian said, "You two go to the kitchen and ask the cook to make me some saffron cake. Bring it to me later."

  "Yes, boss."

  The two guards immediately nodded and went to the kitchen.

  At the same time, I was thinking to myself, Saffron, wouldn't the gang leader want it?

  The two guards were shocked when they thought about it.

  Saffron, a precious traditional Chinese medicine, has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, cooling blood and detoxifying. Taking a small amount on a regular basis has a nourishing function for the body.

  But pregnant women are prohibited from using it.

  Because its medicinal properties can cause uterine contractions and miscarriage in pregnant women, it is something that pregnant women must never touch.

  Nan Batian asked the kitchen to steam a portion of saffron cake. His purpose was very clear, he wanted to see if Huang Wan'er dared to eat it!

  Nan Batian stood in the corridor, looking at the sky with a gloomy gaze. His eyes were filled with all kinds of complicated expressions, but more of them were determination. If Huang Wan'er dared to do anything to let him down, no matter if it was the child or the adulterer, they would all die!

  He would never allow a Hulunbuir grassland to appear on his head!

  Dujuan rushed all the way to the front yard, and immediately met the younger brother who was about to go out to look for Doctor Liu.

  Doctor Liu, the chief of the eight doctors in the inner hall, the best doctor in Mianshui County, was known as Liu Yishou for his accurate medical skills.

  He could be said to be a medical expert in Mianshui County. His diagnosis was the main basis for any difficult and complicated disease. When ordinary doctors heard that Liu Yishou had seen the disease, they basically did not dare to take the case.

  And more importantly, this Doctor Liu is a staunch supporter of Nan Batian.

  When the gang leader was being chosen, he was the only one among the eight doctors in the inner hall who stood behind Nan Batian. The others, such as Bai Wenjing, all supported Peng Shizhong. Then the group of famous doctors whose reputation spread throughout Huangzhou Prefecture at that time directly split up.

  Everyone returned to their hometowns, and Liu Yishou was the only one left in the inner hall to preside over the overall situation. Therefore, Nan Batian trusted Liu Yishou very much.

  Just as I was about to go out, I saw Du Juan coming over. Seeing that I was about to go out, she asked, "Hey, Shunzi, are you going out?"

  Du Juan has very good communication skills and she knows many people in the gang.

  Shunzi turned to look at Dujuan and said, "Oh, Sister Dujuan, um, I have to go out. The leader asked me to invite Doctor Liu to come to the mansion to diagnose the lady!"

  Um!

  Upon hearing this, Du Juan's face instantly changed color and her eyes suddenly widened. She wanted to find Liu Yishou to diagnose her wife. This!

  What should I do? Who is Liu Yishou? He can treat any difficult disease with his diagnosis and treatment. How could I hide the fact that my wife is pregnant from him?

  It's impossible, it definitely can't be hidden!

  By then, once Doctor Liu takes action, won't everything be exposed?

  Madam, will you still be alive by then?

  "Sister Dujuan, Sister Dujuan?"

  Shunzi looked at Dujuan in confusion at this time. What happened to Sister Dujuan today? Why was she so stupid?

  Shunzi had a look of confusion on his face, and Dujuan came to her senses at this time. Although she was panicking in her heart, she tried to appear calm on her face.

  At this time, he smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay. I remembered that Madam wanted to eat grapes, so I forgot to bring them to Madam. Isn't this a delay? I guess Madam will scold me again."

  Shunzi heard this and said, "No, Madam is such a kind person, she won't punish you. Well, sister, I'm leaving first."

  Du Juan said, "Well, okay."

  Du Juan nodded after hearing this. She didn't dare to stop Shunzi from doing things, and she couldn't let Shunzi not do it.

  So there was nothing she could do, and she discovered that two more guards had appeared behind her.

  Is this looking at yourself?

  Du Juan was sweating with anxiety. She gritted her teeth and calmed herself down. "Don't panic, don't panic. Go find the spy arranged by Master Chen that Madam told you about. I'm afraid only Master Chen can save Madam now."

  Thinking of this, Dujuan took a deep breath.

  Then continue to go to the fruit room.

  In a large mansion like the headquarters of the fishing gang, there is an abundant supply of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and there are special people responsible for purchasing seasonal fresh fruits.

  Dujuan came to the fruit and vegetable room at this time.

  Old Li in the fruit and vegetable room was checking the fruits to see if any were not fresh. When he saw Du Juan, he immediately came over.

  "Hey, Miss Dujuan is back. Is there anything Madam wants?"

  After hearing this, Du Juan whispered, "Exquisite dice and red beans!"

  Old Li was stunned, glanced at Du Juan, and then said, "Do you know how deeply I miss you?"

  The two looked at each other, understood, and confirmed each other's identity.

  That's right, Old Li from the fruit shop is the spy planted by Chen Jie. One purpose is to gather intelligence, and the other is to support his wife.

  In order to protect Huang Wan'er, Chen Jie revealed his spy identity to Huang Wan'er, so that she could contact him at any time.

  Du Juan and Lao Li looked at each other, and then two guards from outside came in.

  When Lao Li saw the two guards, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha, two brothers, why are you here? Are you on duty?"

  The two looked at Lao Li and said, "Hey, you are nothing like me, brother. This job is so easy, and you can eat any fruit you want."

  After hearing this, Lao Li pointed at the two men and said with a smile: "Haha, are you scolding me? You are all the boss's confidants. How can I compare with you? Come on, brothers, sit down first. The lady over there wants some fruit. I will serve her first."

  After hearing this, the two guards said, "Well, go do your thing first, and we'll sit for a while."

  Hearing this, Old Li laughed and said, "Can I let you just wait? Wait a moment."

  As he spoke, Lao Li took out a big watermelon from the cold water in the well nearby, like a magic trick.

  "It was just delivered this morning. The watermelons from Old Zhao's family in Sanshuitan are very sweet. I kept two for myself. Let's try some today."

  "Hey, Lao Li, there is this good stuff, but it is still hidden. Hurry and bring it to me."

  The guard said happily at this time.

  Nowadays, fruits such as watermelons are not as abundant as they are in later generations. You have to know that in this era, grain production was low, land resources were tight, and ordinary people could not even grow enough grain to eat. How could you grow watermelons?

  What are you thinking?

  Only wealthy families can afford these scarce seasonal fruits and vegetables, especially those that are carefully cultivated.

  Of course, there were wild fruits in the mountains at that time, but the yield was not guaranteed, and ordinary people could only eat them occasionally.

  So this watermelon, in this era, is definitely a good thing for ordinary people at the bottom of society.

  Even though the two guards were Nan Batian's personal guards, it was difficult for them to eat watermelon often, especially on such a hot day.

  It was definitely a treat to eat a watermelon that had been cooled by the cool water from the well. The two guards immediately laughed and said, "Old Li, you are living a comfortable life."

  As he spoke, he couldn't wait to cut the melon.

  Lao Li said at this time: "Brothers, eat first. I will go to prepare some fruit for the lady. Please save two pieces of watermelon for me."

  "Don't worry, go ahead, go ahead."

  The two guards surrounded the watermelon and started to divide it with knives. It seemed that they had no intention of leaving any for Lao Li.

  Seeing this, Old Li pulled Du Juan aside and said, "These new grapes are good. Bring two bunches for Madam."

  "good."

  "Come with me."

  As they were talking, the two of them came to a corner, which was far away from the table over there. The two guards looked over but didn't care. They just focused on dividing the watermelon.

  At this time, Lao Li said, "What do you want, Madam?"

  "Madam, Madam is pregnant."

  "Ahem!"

  Du Juan's first sentence broke Lao Li's defense. He almost choked and started coughing desperately.

  The two guards turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Lao Li?"

  Old Li's face turned red as he held it in, "Ahem, it's okay, I just choked a little."

  "Oh, hurry up, I'm waiting for you to eat watermelon."

  "Hey hey!"

  Old Li responded loudly, and then took some grapes and put them into the fruit plate, saying, "Master Chen's?"

  Du Juan nodded and said, "Yes."

  "…"

  Old Li didn't know what to say and could only secretly think that Master Chen was really awesome.

  Madam Huang had been married to Nan Batian for three years but had not gotten pregnant. Yet, she got pregnant not long after following Master Chen. Do you think it is because Master Chen is too powerful, or because Nan Batian is too useless?

  Du Juan said anxiously, "The most important thing now is not that Madam is pregnant, but that she had morning sickness today and Nan Batian saw it. Nan Batian has already sent someone to find Liu Yishou. If Liu Yishou finds out that Madam is pregnant, she will be finished!"

  boom!

  After hearing this, Lao Li's face became extremely ugly.

  Discovered? Liu Yishou, fuck, what should I do? Lao Li looked at Du Juan for confirmation. Du Juan said, "Well, the only one who can save Madam now is Master Chen. Hurry up and inform Master Chen, otherwise it will be too late!"

  Lao Li took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. Okay, you go first, and I'll figure out the rest."

  Old Li said, and then said, "Miss Dujuan, take these grapes and bring them to Madam. Tell me what Madam wants to eat in the future, and I will definitely buy it for her."

  Du Juan looked at Old Li and immediately smiled and said, "Thank goodness Li Cai bought it."

  After saying that, Dujuan immediately left with the grapes. The two guards at the door took a big bite of watermelon, threw away the rind, stood up, and followed Dujuan away.

  Mr. Li came to the table and found that only a small amount of the least sweet part of the big watermelon was left.

  Seeing this, Lao Li breathed a sigh of relief. Eating so much watermelon meant that they were concentrating entirely on eating the watermelon. So, his conversation with Du Juan should not have been heard.

  However, this matter was too tricky. The lady was actually pregnant with Master Chen's child, and Nan Batian had discovered it, so he invited Liu Yishou to come and take her pulse.

  There is no time to delay, the information must be sent out quickly, otherwise something serious will happen.
