Chapter 14: The true origin of Ningxiang Pills
Jiang Shishu also returned to her Yunshu Courtyard with a lot of thoughts in mind. She thought her aunt would come over to ask about it, but she didn't expect that her maid Hongyu came over and said that her aunt was a little tired, and asked her to come over tomorrow to talk to the mother and daughter.

There was some evasiveness in the maid's eyes, but Jiang Shishu had something on his mind and was afraid that his aunt would find out, so he nodded in agreement without any suspicion.

On this day, some secrets took root and sprouted in everyone's heart...

Wenyuanhou Mansion.

The Yuhua Courtyard where Old Madam Wang was staying was now full of people.

Except for Wang An, the fourth and youngest son of the Wang family, who was still accompanying his cousin Pei Zisu, everyone else had arrived. Some were excited to promote the marriage, while others looked at Jiang Shiyuan worriedly, not knowing how to start the conversation.

In the end, it was my aunt Pei who broke the deadlock.

Both sides were people she loved, one was her niece whom she raised personally, and the other was her nephew whom she was extremely satisfied with. If they were together, it would be a good story, so she spoke first.

"We all know what kind of person Zi Su is. He is good at both literature and martial arts. He has achieved such a high position at such a young age. His ability is beyond doubt. In the future, the entire Pei family will be passed down to him, so marrying him is indeed a good thing. Although I live far away, he has never had any concubines. I used to think he was young and ignorant, but today he is bold enough to ask for marriage in front of so many of us. This is indeed the temperament of my Pei family."

Wang Hong, the third cousin who had been with Pei Zisu for a long time, immediately confirmed what his mother said.

"That's true. Cousin Zi Su spent most of his time in the military camp in Hanzhou. Even when he returned to the Pei family, he was only served by a few servants. He didn't even have a maid, let alone a concubine!"

On this point, Mrs. Wang seemed quite satisfied.

She has been married to the old marquis for so many years, and he has no concubines. He had a maid a few decades ago, but after they got married, he gave her enough silver and money to send her out of the house. There are no such people in his son's and daughter-in-law's or grandson's and daughter-in-law's rooms.

But the Pei family is different. General Pei has a favored concubine by his side, and she has also given birth to a child. Therefore, Old Lady Wang is wondering whether the people of the Pei family will be influenced by this and think that it is good to have many wives. If that is the case, she would not be happy!
As soon as the idea came to mind, Marquis Wenyuan interrupted.

"Madam, it's useless to say such wonderful things. Look at your brother-in-law's attitude. I'm afraid this matter will not be accomplished!"

Upon seeing this, Aunt Pei began to explain anxiously.

"What my brother-in-law said is nothing more than that he is worried that Ah Nian's body can't hold up. If she marries far away, I will definitely oppose it. But if she marries to Hanzhou, I think it's a good idea!"

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten, Lord? Ah Nian was very ill at the beginning. If my sister-in-law hadn't brought people from Hanzhou to prescribe the Ningxiang Pills for her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be as well as she is today. If she had really married to Hanzhou, she would have been carefully cared for by the hidden doctor every day, and perhaps she would have a chance to recover directly, right?"

Aunt Pei's words made Old Madam Wang's mind waver a lot.

She has lived a comfortable life. Her biggest regret and worry now is that her granddaughter's body will not be able to hold on. Although she is no different from a normal woman now, she is still taking medicine.

Besides, the hidden doctor's personality is really weird.

They had written to her many times to invite her sincerely, and her son and daughter-in-law had also visited her in person to invite her, but she had never been willing to come out and help. Her words and deeds showed that she would never leave Hanzhou. If Jiang Shiyuan married her, maybe she would have a chance to get treated by the hidden doctor again!

Aunt Pei saw the change on her mother-in-law's face and took advantage of the situation to say, "And there is one thing. Aren't you curious about why Zi Su asked me that? In fact, the Ningxiang Pills that Anian took have been sent from Hanzhou all these years, and they have never been interrupted in the past ten years. I think no one else would care so much except that stupid boy."

When Aunt Pei explained this, everyone in the Wenyuan Marquis's mansion looked either surprised or calm, except Jiang Shiyuan, who felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

It turned out to be him!

The Ningxiang Pills that I have been taking for so many years were sent by Hanzhou.

Suddenly she remembered that in her previous life, she had stopped taking the medicine after Pei Zisu's accidental death. Although she resumed taking the medicine later, the taste was different from before. At that time, she thought that she might have tasted the wrong flavor because she was terminally ill. But now she saw that there must be something in the Ningxiang Pills that she didn't know about in the prescription!

Otherwise, she would not have died of heart palpitations just two years after Pei Zisu's death.

When he thought that it was all thanks to Pei Zisu that he had been able to survive these years, a complex emotion welled up in his mind.

She couldn't quite tell whether she was touched, surprised, or something else.

"I never knew that this cousin of the Pei family is such a persistent person!"

“If you are marching and fighting, you must be persistent.”

The eldest brother Wang Su spoke a few words, but it was clear from his words that he was defending Pei Zisu.

Initially, cousin-in-law Xiang was on the side that didn't want Jiang Shiyuan to marry far away, so she tried to stop her at the table. But she didn't expect there were so many stories behind this.

Being a woman is not easy.

To be honest, cousin-in-law Xiang didn't know how to object to the fact that she had won the affection of a man who had silently given to her for so many years but never asked for anything in return. However, she had another worry. Seeing that everyone didn't know whether to say anything or not, her husband Wang Su saw it and knew that she had something to say.

"Madam, we are all family members today. If you have anything to say, just speak up. This concerns Ah Nian's life and death, so we can't be careless."

"Since my husband has spoken so, I have no choice but to speak."

Cousin-law Xiang's eyes were full of concern for Jiang Shiyuan, so she spoke frankly.

"The Pei family has been prosperous for generations, so naturally there is no shortage of descendants. But cousin Zi Su is the eldest son of the eldest house, and my mother-in-law also said that the Pei family will be handed over to him in the future. So the person standing next to him must be a capable wife. An Nian is smart and quick-witted, so I think she can handle those things without any problem. But there is one thing, that is, whether her body is suitable for bearing children? The Pei family must leave a bloodline for Zi Su, but if the result is that An Nian has to fight hard to give birth to a child, can we really agree to such a marriage?"

As soon as she said this, everyone present fell silent.

This included her aunt Pei, who had just been actively promoting this marriage, because she knew that this was unavoidable. The issue of offspring could not be ignored in a clan like theirs, so when she looked at Jiang Shiyuan, the certainty in her eyes began to waver.

With the hidden doctor in the Pei family, preserving the fetus or even raising the child may not be a problem. The question is whether Jiang Shiyuan's body can withstand such hardship and suffering?

If an accident happens, what should they do?
