Si Yiyan concentrated on rubbing the medicine on her, and asked casually, "What do you think about Ning Shuqian's pregnancy?"
Knowing that she was shy, he deliberately found topics to divert her attention.
"I took her pulse at the banquet before, and her pulse is indeed somewhat like that of an early pregnancy. And just now at the hospital, the doctor also confirmed that Ning Shuqian is pregnant." Ning Shuqian was still confused about her pregnancy, so Si Yiyan's question really touched her heart, so she immediately forgot that she was exposing her back and allowing someone to see and take advantage of her.
"Didn't you say that you only learned some pharmacology from Du Shinan, and only had a superficial knowledge of pulse diagnosis? Can you really be sure that Ning Shuqian's pulse is a pregnancy pulse?" Si Yiyan's eyes were fixed on the jade-like skin on her back. The smooth and delicate touch under his hands made him amazed. He always knew that Xinya had good skin, so he spared no effort to help her maintain it, and even went so far as to collect secret medicinal bath recipes from the ancient palace, so as to nourish the body and the skin at the same time. Anyway... it would be his benefit in the future.
"It may be the early stage of pregnancy! The pulse is not very obvious. Although I have little knowledge of pulse, I can still diagnose such a simple pulse. Moreover, the diagnosis of the hospital is similar to the result of my pulse diagnosis." Wen Xinya frowned and thought about it carefully. She was a little sure before, but now she is not so sure. I always feel that this matter is not that simple, but after thinking about it carefully, there is nothing else suspicious.
Si Yiyan frowned and said nothing.
Wen Xinya thought about it and repeated the results of her previous pulse diagnosis for Ning Shuqian.
Si Yiyan's fingers gently stroked the scorching bone in the middle of her back, revealing her thin lines. "Xinya, the pulse can be deceiving sometimes. In normal people, a smooth and gentle pulse is a symptom of balanced Ying and Wei, and fullness of Qi and blood. In pathological conditions, a slippery pulse indicates phlegm, food stagnation, and excess heat. Slippery pulses can be seen in anemia, rheumatism, late stage of acute infection with fever, acute and chronic gastroenteritis, ascites due to liver cirrhosis, etc. Can you tell which slippery pulses are caused by pregnancy and which are caused by physical conditions?"
He didn't know much about pharmacology, but since Xinya and Du Shinan were studying it, he naturally had to know something about it.
Wen Xinya's eyes suddenly widened, and she shook her head subconsciously: "I have only learned the basics, and I can't tell such a complicated pulse. Do you suspect that her pregnancy is fake?"
Grandpa Du had briefly explained this knowledge to her before, but because she had never thought about curing diseases and saving lives, she did not understand it in depth. Si Yiyan's words made the slight hesitation in her heart increase a little.
Si Yiyan took advantage of Wen Xinya's distraction to let his fingers wander over her back. "She and Wen Haowen have been married for fifteen years, and have been doing artificial insemination and ovulation for two years without any pregnancy. However, it just so happened that she was revealed to be pregnant at the annual meeting of Wen's Group, and she even used the pregnancy to throw a basin of dirty water on you. Such a coincidence, such a sinister calculation, it is obvious that it was arranged in advance."
Wen Xinya nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt some doubts: "Ning Shuqian doesn't have these diseases, and Ning Shuqian has always been cunning and won't do anything without confidence. Since she dared to use me to reveal her pregnancy in front of everyone at the annual meeting, if the pregnancy was fake and was exposed on the spot, even Wen Haowen would not let her go."
Si Yiyan said calmly: "She doesn't need to deceive everyone, she only needs to deceive you. She uses you to expose her pregnancy. As long as you admit that she is pregnant, no one will doubt it anymore."
Although Xinya and Du Shinan studied medicine, which was little known in the circle, everyone in the Wen family knew about it. Ning Shuqian calculated that Xinya would take the pulse in public, so this step was considered cautious.
Wen Xinya had her own opinion: "But even if the pregnancy is fake, it can only be concealed for a while. Sooner or later, it will be exposed. Even if she uses the pregnancy to deal with me, it will not cause a fatal blow to me. According to Ning Shuqian's personality, she will not do such a stupid thing."
Si Yiyan frowned slightly, slowly pulled down the pajamas on her back, pulled her up, and tidied her pajamas: "The current situation is really weird, but no matter whether Ning Shuqian is really pregnant or not, she probably has a trick up her sleeve, so you have to be careful."
Wen Xinya nodded, and thought carefully about what he said before, "Actually, what you said makes sense. Ning Shuqian's pregnancy is indeed full of doubts. I need to think about it carefully."
Ning Shuqian caused such a scene at the banquet tonight. She had checked Ning Shuqian's pulse before, and the Wen family members came out one after another to stir up trouble, giving her the illusion that Ning Shuqian was really pregnant, so she subconsciously believed it.
Si Yiyan's suspicion brought new breakthroughs to the doubts in his heart, but there has been no breakthrough progress for the time being.
Si Yiyan said: "In the past two years, Ning Shuqian has been low-key and silent. You have had little contact with her. You may need to re-evaluate her and don't be trapped by your previous thinking."
Wen Xinya took a deep breath. Si Yiyan was right. Ning Shuqian was indeed cunning and cautious in everything. However, she had forgotten that she was no longer the Ning Shuqian who had someone to rely on. Instead, she was a Ning Shuqian who had been silent for two years and whose sanity was constantly being gnawed away by hatred. In order to deal with her, she would do anything.
It is not impossible to come up with such a solution.
Too many things in this life have gone off track, so she dared not easily deny Ning Shuqian's pregnancy.
Seeing her frowning, Si Yiyan could not help but gently rub her brows and said, "Don't worry, the media will not report the news about you causing Ning Shuqian to fall and almost causing her to miscarry tomorrow."
Although Xinya managed to stabilize the situation at the annual meeting by taking the patient's pulse and maintaining a calm and rational attitude, she did not produce strong evidence to prove her innocence. The media reporters would not care so much. As long as there was news, they would naturally take the opportunity to make a big fuss. Add in the interference of Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya, and Xinya's reputation as a corrupt person was doomed.
So as early as when he got the news, he sent people to check the media reporters invited to the Wen Group's annual meeting, made some relevant arrangements, and sent people to check the surveillance at the time. However, the surveillance only captured a corner, which could not fully prove Xinya's innocence, and of course it could not prove that Xinya harmed Ning Shuqian.
"Si Yiyan, thank you." Wen Xinya felt warm in her heart. Once she really got the reputation of harming the child in Ning Shuqian's belly, she would never be able to stay in the circle again.
"This is all I can do for you." Si Yiyan kissed her forehead. He wanted to protect her, take care of her, and cherish her, but... he wanted to watch her shine brightly as she worked hard step by step towards success, so he tried hard to explore and find a balance between the two.
Wen Xinya kissed his lips gently: "This is enough."
