Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 161 - 162: The Incurable

Chapter 161: Chapter 162: The Incurable

Half a month later, the weather started to become unpredictably cold and warm, causing many people to catch colds.

Anji Hall’s Cold Effervescent Powder once again became a bestseller. As soon as it was produced, it was snatched up immediately. Shao He had no choice but to limit sales, allowing a fixed number of customers to buy several packets each day.

On this particular day, just after the Cold Effervescent Powder sold out, a woman suddenly approached. Without looking up, Shao He said directly, “The Cold Effervescent Powder is sold out, if you want to buy some, please come back tomorrow.”

“I am not here to buy medicine, I am here to find you.”

The familiar voice made Shao He pause and look up. Recognizing the person, she was momentarily taken aback, then lowered her eyes and put down what she was holding, speaking, “Miss Liang, what brings you here today? Is there something wrong with your health?”

“Even if people come, I will not conduct any gender identification,” Shao He quickly changed the subject, “How is Pei Siyang doing?”

“Imperial Brother has been practicing walking lately; he can now take a few steps though he is not yet proficient. However, his recent efforts are visible, and even his temperament has improved a great deal, no longer as despondent as before,” replied Pei Huaian, with a lighter tone.

A few days ago, on his visit to Pei Siyang, he noticed many more smiles on his face, and the previously gloomy atmosphere in the residence had lifted—even the windows that were nailed shut had been pried open.

“That’s good,” Shao He breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad he wasn’t completely caught in depression, which meant there was still hope for him.

Pei Huaian suddenly remembered the news he had received, his expression turning solemn, “Pei Chengye has traced you.”

“It must be because of Pei Siyang’s matter. The other party is still watching, not making any moves,” guessed Shao He.

If not, given Pei Chengye’s character, he wouldn’t have discovered her and remained this quiet. He was surely observing to see just how capable she really was.

“Ah, it’s so tiring. I simply want to raise Xiao Linzhang in peace; why must it be so difficult?” Shao He sank into a chair, her face showing signs of fatigue.

She didn’t wish to provoke anyone, merely wanting to raise her child safely. Yet, now she was entangled in a myriad of troubles, feeling the pressure mounting as if countless eyes were watching her. One wrong move or misstep could lead to a profound abyss.

“No, no, it’s not that, I’m here to ask you for help,” Liang Weishuang said somewhat embarrassedly.

She pursed her lips, not knowing how to start. This matter was too humiliating for her to speak of.

Seeing her hesitation, Shao He knew something must have happened and spoke indifferently, “If there’s something the matter, come inside and we can talk.”

After all, outside was the main street—crowded and noisy—not an ideal place for private conversations.

Relieved by Shao He’s suggestion, Liang Weishuang nodded happily and followed inside.

Shao He picked up a tea cup from the table, turned it over, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it towards her, “Can you tell me now?”

“It’s like this, I accidentally pushed Jiner and inadvertently caused her to have a miscarriage, so I…”

“So, you want to find me to save her? Save what, exactly? Her non-existent child? Or her difficulty in getting pregnant?” Shao He snorted coldly, interrupting her.

Liang Weishuang, aware of the past grievances between the two, clutched the teacup tightly and said, “Regardless, it’s still a life at stake. Can’t you put aside past issues and save her first?”

Feeling he was beyond help, Shao He continued with patience, “Luo Jiner was never pregnant to begin with. She took medicine to create a false pregnancy, a condition that would inevitably lead to a miscarriage in three months. There is no child in her belly; how am I supposed to save her child? Should I steal one and slip it into her belly?”

Liang Weishuang was startled by her words, “No, that’s impossible, could she really have deceived me?”

Because you’re naive, although of course, Shao He did not say this out loud.

“If you think she hasn’t deceived you, then go summon the Imperial Physician to see if anyone can save the child in her womb. If someone truly can do so, I will consider my feud with Luo Jiner settled,” Shao He said, displaying a hint of disdain for stupidity, not wanting to speak further and politely asking her to leave.

Liang Weishuang did not want to believe that Luo Jiner could deceive her, but upon reflection, there indeed seemed to be discrepancies.

Just as she was about to leave, she coincidentally saw Pei Huaian approaching in a wheelchair.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Shao He stood up to greet him. Their gazes intertwined, suggesting something out of the ordinary. Liang Weishuang noticed their strange looks, but Jiner’s situation distracted her from pondering it further.

Pei Huaian caught a glimpse of the departing Liang Weishuang and curiously asked, “Can you really change the gender of an unborn child, but refuse to do it, is that true?”

“Of course not,” Shao He promptly denied.

Seeing the frown on his face, Shao He immediately clarified, “I can only discern the gender of the fetus, but I cannot change anything. I choose not to reveal the gender to expectant mothers to avoid inciting trouble.”

She also feared that some might exploit this information, particularly those with gender biases, who would then use it to determine if the child was a boy, leading her to participate in the ending of innocent lives.

After a moment of silence, Shao He asked without conviction, “Where did you even hear such nonsense?”

Pei Huaian sighed lightly, “The rumors are already widespread outside; probably soon, people will start coming to you.”

Although Shao He was not afraid, she had her child to consider and had to think carefully about every action she took.
