After Marrying The Paranoid God of War (Rebirth) - Chapter 10.2
One month after Huo Pingxiao left, Ruan An exchanged all her silver coins at the pawnshop for silver bills, leaving only a small amount for her daily expenses.
Lately, she had collected many valuable herbs from the medicinal field, but this time, she didn’t rush to sell them.
The medical records were also making significant progress, but her handwriting was still unsightly. If she were to find a literate person to transcribe it, she feared that the secrets of her medical records might be exposed.
Ruan An was contemplating whether to invite a teacher to teach her to write when Sun Ye had already prepared her favorite fish porridge. She brought a bowl into the room.
When she smelled the fish porridge, she didn’t find it delicious. Instead, she thought it was fishy and unpleasant, making her feel nauseous.
With a desire to vomit, Ruan An asked Sun Ye, “Is the fish fresh?”
Sun Ye placed the fish porridge on a small table and replied truthfully, “Yes, it’s fresh. I kept them alive in water until just before cooking.”
Ruan An furrowed her brows and hesitated to eat it. She gestured for Sun Ye to take the fish porridge away.
In the past month, she had found a reliable family who had adopted the young medicine apprentice. Ruan An had also prepared her dowry in advance.
She realized that the girl was not suitable for studying medicine. Not only did she frequently make mistakes in prescriptions, but she also didn’t enjoy delving into medical knowledge and pharmacology.
Considering this, she didn’t force the girl to continue studying medicine. Everyone has their own path, and if medical knowledge isn’t mastered well, it could be harmful.
Ruan An specifically instructed the family who adopted the girl to enroll her in a girls’ school in town, ensuring she wouldn’t be confined to household chores.
After Sun Ye returned, he brought up the matter of the young medicine apprentice, saying, “Aunt, you did the right thing. There’s something I haven’t told you.”
Ruan An dipped her brush into ink and tried to practice writing on a blank piece of paper. It still looked quite ugly.
Frustrated, she put the brush down and asked sternly, “What trouble have you been causing behind my back? Spit it out.”
Sun Ye hesitated and scratched the back of his head. He then told Ruan An about an incident that happened nearly two months ago.
“Unbeknownst to you, I had her prepare a prescription once, the contraceptive pill you developed. She not only mixed up several medicinal herbs but also confused them with a toxic remedy… Luckily, I destroyed all those pills and used my own money to cover the losses.”
As soon as these words left Sun Ye’s mouth, Ruan An noticed that the small face of the young girl had turned pale, even showing a hint of panic.
Sun Ye thought Ruan An was angry and continued to explain, his voice trembling, “In these surrounding villages, no one has heard of anyone getting pregnant. Aunt, please don’t be angry.”
Ruan An was stunned, her mind buzzing. She realized that her menstruation hadn’t come for two months, and coupled with recent symptoms like excessive sleep and cold sensitivity, a dreadful thought became increasingly certain –
she might be pregnant.
***
After June.
Ruan An, upon discovering her pregnancy, found it inconvenient to continue living in Xinghua Village. She and Sun Ye found a reason to leave the village and moved to the bustling Mengyang County in Jiazhou. There, they found a residence away from the city and temporarily settled.
On this day, Sun Ye brought back some food for Ruan An, who was already eight months pregnant. He saw her pale and sweating, leaning on the bed, and asked with concern, “Ah Xu, are you feeling unwell?”
After learning about her pregnancy, Ruan An had considered using a method to terminate it, but she ultimately decided to give birth to the child.
Sun Ye couldn’t understand her decision and felt that the child would be fatherless, and considered a bastard.
Ruan An, however, said, “I’ve made up my mind to give birth to it.”
She added, “After my master passed away, you practically grew up with me. I’m capable of raising a child, especially since most gynecological medical texts are written by men who can’t understand a woman’s suffering. This way, I can further refine my medical records.”
At that moment, Sun Ye was astonished but earnestly tried to persuade her, “You shouldn’t have a child just for the sake of writing a medical book… After giving birth, how will you name the child?”
“Shouldn’t we let him take his biological father’s surname, Huo…”
When she mentioned the name Huo, Sun Ye noticed a significant change in Ruan An’s expression.
He wasn’t naive and realized that Ruan An secretly admired Huo Pingxiao.
Sun Ye’s thoughts came to a halt at this point. He was about to approach the pale Ruan An when he suddenly heard the cries of a baby coming from her eight-month pregnant belly, signaling that the child was about to be born.
There was nothing wrong with the translations, the fetus inside her belly was really crying LMAO well this is a fantasy novel isn’t it? ????
