Aunt Min recognizes Pei Shiyu’s assistant.

Although separated by a distance, she faintly hears phrases like ’take after dinner’ and ’a month’s dosage.’

She glances again at the bag in Tang Li’s hand and hurriedly returns to the living room.

Xiao Minglan is drinking ginseng tea, and Aunt Min rushes in, unable to hide her anxiety: "You guessed right, the young mistress is indeed ill!"

Xiao Minglan grips the cup handle, her mind starting to feel uneasy: "Are you sure?"

"Dr. Pei’s assistant went to deliver medicine to the young mistress."

As for what kind of medicine, she didn’t clearly see: "Anyway, it’s taken once a day."

Xiao Minglan doesn’t understand medicine, but she knows some patterns.

——The more potent the medicine, the more controlled the dosage needs to be.

Upon further reflection on the recent reactions of the family members, Xiao Minglan realizes she might be the only one still in the dark.

If it’s not a serious illness, why keep it from her?

Xiao Minglan understands her son.

If Tang Li is truly ill and she asks, her son wouldn’t honestly tell her.

To learn the truth, she can only rely on her own investigation.

Xiao Minglan looks up at Aunt Min: "You just said it was Dr. Pei’s assistant who delivered the medicine?"

This is a certainty Aunt Min can attest to.

"So, it’s Dr. Pei who’s attending to Xiao Li’s illness?"

Xiao Minglan feels some relief.

Since Pei Shiyu is Tang Li’s attending physician, Tang Li’s medical records must also be in Pei Shiyu’s computer.

One glance at the computer will reveal what illness Tang Li is suffering from!

Pei Shiyu glanced at the clock on the wall, and it was a quarter past five in the afternoon.

Today, it wasn’t his turn to be on duty at Tan Palace.

Therefore, he took off his white coat and began preparing to leave work.

Just as he pushed the swivel chair closer to the desk, there was a ’knock knock’ at the office door.

Pei Shiyu looked up and saw Xiao Minglan being supported by Aunt Min.

Xiao Minglan glanced around the office, looking awkward: "Look at me, coming at a bad time, Xiao Pei is preparing to leave, right?"

"Actually, I’m not in a rush to leave." Pei Shiyu smiled and proactively pulled out a chair for Xiao Minglan: "Have you come because you’re feeling unwell?"

Xiao Minglan nodded: "I feel a bit tight in the chest, and wanted to get a blood test."

"If you want a blood test, you might as well come tomorrow morning." Pei Shiyu explained: "A fasting blood test gives a more accurate report, and coincidentally the blood sample tubes need to be sent over from the hospital."

In other words, blood cannot be taken today.

Xiao Minglan turned her head to exchange glances with Aunt Min, then looked at Pei Shiyu: "Can you have a look at Xiao Min? She has been complaining of headaches recently; could there be something growing in her brain?"

Aunt Min: "..."

Facing Pei Shiyu’s gaze, Aunt Min immediately cooperated: "It is indeed a headache, I’ve not slept well for two nights."

Her complexion is rosy, not like someone who has insomnia.

However, since the person says she feels unwell, Pei Shiyu still dutifully offered a suggestion: "Why not go for a CT scan?"

Aunt Min looked at Xiao Minglan: "Should I go for a CT scan?"

Pei Shiyu: "..."

"Listen to your words." Xiao Minglan signaled with her eyes to Aunt Min: "Can I possibly stop you? Go ahead, let Xiao Pei take you; with him accompanying, you can feel at ease."

Aunt Min instantly understood: "Alright, then let Dr. Pei accompany me."

After Pei Shiyu put on his white coat to take Aunt Min out, Xiao Minglan also got up from her chair, closed the office door, and pulled down the blinds, before returning to the office desk.

Pei Shiyu uses a laptop.

At this moment, the laptop has been packed into his bag.

Xiao Minglan went around the desk and took out the laptop, turning it on.

However, she quickly encountered a problem.

The laptop required facial recognition authentication.

Coincidentally, Xiao Minglan noticed Pei Shiyu’s doctor’s badge wasn’t taken away. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The badge had Pei Shiyu’s photo.

She picked up the badge and aimed it at the laptop’s camera.

The next moment, the screen displayed——

[Recognition Error]

Xiao Minglan: "......"

Attempts to retry also failed.

After four failures, Xiao Minglan dared not try again.

The system had already warned her that after the fifth failure, the computer would be locked, and it could only be accessed again after twenty-four hours.

She put the laptop back into the bag and turned her attention to the two medical records next to it.

Although the possibility of Tang Li’s medical record being here was low, Xiao Minglan still flipped through, and to avoid missing anything, she specifically wore her reading glasses.

This casual flip led her to discover——

In Tan Palace, eighty percent of the staff had hemorrhoids.

Just as she reached the last page, the office door was suddenly pushed open!

After all, engaged in a guilty act, Xiao Minglan’s heart skipped a beat when she looked up, but what she saw wasn’t Pei Shiyu, rather a guard responsible for patrolling the Tan Palace perimeter, looking a bit rough.

Xiao Minglan had been living in Tan Palace for over half a year but felt the person looked unfamiliar.

——Seemed newly assigned.

The guard clearly didn’t recognize Xiao Minglan either.

"You are..." The guard stepped out to check the sign and re-entered: "An expert newly hired by Tan Palace? I noticed your posture with the glasses and knew you must be a senior professor retired from a Class A hospital."

Xiao Minglan: "..."

At this point, denying seemed inappropriate.

Her hand was still on the medical record.

"Do you need something?" Xiao Minglan decided to gloss over the identity issue.

The guard thought the old lady looked kind and wasn’t awkward, "My butt’s been itching lately. They say it’s hemorrhoids, but it doesn’t quite feel like it. I heard Dr. Pei looks at these issues, so I came over. Since Dr. Pei’s not here, having you look is the same."

Xiao Minglan: ఠ_ఠ

Seeing the guard sit on the examination bed and start to take off his pants, Xiao Minglan hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a moment, Dr. Pei will return shortly."

Before she finished speaking, a bare backside appeared before her.

Even had a few black hairs.

Xiao Minglan: "........."

Upon hearing the news of the old lady fainting, Tang Li was in her bedroom munching on seeds.

When she rushed over, a group had already gathered in the old lady’s room.

Tang Li instantly spotted Song Baiyan’s figure, standing tall at the bedside, hands on his hips. The resuscitation had ended, and Pei Shiyu was listening to the old lady’s heart rate from her angle. She only saw Song Baiyan’s somewhat tense side profile.

"It’s all my fault." Aunt Min’s eyes were red, her words full of self-blame: "I shouldn’t have left the old lady alone in the office."

The reason why the old lady went to the consultation area was already known by Song Baiyan.

At this point, Aunt Min no longer dared to conceal anything.

The old lady wasn’t in life-threatening danger, she was merely frightened and fainted momentarily.

Tang Li squeezed into the room, coming to Song Baiyan’s side.

Then, she quietly hooked onto Song Baiyan’s left hand.

Song Baiyan recognized her, his expression softened, and he gripped her small hand too.

After a while, Song Baiyan led Tang Li to the bedside and bent down to speak to the slowly awakening old lady: "You wanted to know what’s happening with Tang Li, Tang Li isn’t sick, she is pregnant, already over seven weeks."
