Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Who Did We Offend?

Granny Juanzi knew something serious had happened to her daughter-in-law. Although she knew she shouldn’t ask, she was worried about both her daughter-in-law and the unborn grandchild in her belly. ”Doctor Chu, this is the second time, isn’t it?”

Yunyi didn’t want to confirm it, but she replied, ”Yes.”

Granny Juanzi almost lost her balance and nearly fell. ”Will my daughter-in-law and the child in her womb be affected?”

Yunyi couldn’t guarantee it. ”Fortunately, I arrived in time, but I can’t ensure there won’t be any issues.”

Granny Juanzi’s face flushed. ”Who on earth have we offended to deserve this?”

Looking at the woman sleeping on the kang, this drug must be harmful to a pregnant woman’s body; otherwise, young Juanzi wouldn’t have fallen asleep so quickly.

She decided to keep a portion of this substance to research what kind of drug it was before handing the rest over.

Yunyi hadn’t kept any of the samples Juanzi had left at the hospital a few days ago. She had asked Qiao Tuan to submit them all, but she didn’t know if the results were out yet.

A pregnant woman had been drugged twice. Even if the substance was discovered and cleared away in time on both occasions, it was still fundamentally harmful to her body.

Yunyi patted Granny Juanzi’s shoulder comfortingly, ”Auntie, do you have any more canning jars? I’d like to take some water from the thermos with me.”

Granny Juanzi knew she couldn’t panic now. She obediently ran to find an IV bottle. ”Doctor Chu, will this do? It’s the only suitable thing we have at home.”

Yunyi saw it still had its rubber stopper. ”This will do.”

In the main room, she poured a significant amount of water from the thermos into the bottle. ”Auntie, while there’s no one else at home, quickly dispose of this water. Rinse the thermos thoroughly several times. Be careful of any drug residue, so you don’t accidentally harm your family.”

Granny Juanzi looked grim. ”Doctor Chu, I understand.”

Yunyi packed her things, ready to leave with her cloth bag. ”Over the next few days, make sure to give Juanzi nutritious food. Her body needs proper nourishment to recover.”

Granny Juanzi had already been thinking about this. Hearing Yunyi’s words, she said, ”Yes, we have a chicken at home. I was originally saving it for her postpartum recovery, but it looks like we can’t keep it that long now.”

The two of them talked as they walked out.

When Granny Juanzi saw Huo Jingrui standing outside the courtyard, she said, ”Oh dear, look at me. I’ve been so flustered, I completely forgot about Doctor Chu’s partner.”

Yunyi waved her hand. ”It’s alright. I asked him to wait outside. After all, I was here to see a pregnant patient; it wouldn’t have been convenient for him to come in. Auntie, keep a close watch on Juanzi. I suspect she might go into labor prematurely.”

Granny Juanzi, now truly frightened, asked, ”Doctor Chu, should we move to the clinic beforehand? I’m terrified something urgent might happen again.”

Yunyi thought for a moment. ”You should discuss this among yourselves and decide.”

With that, she quickly said her goodbyes.

Huo Jingrui knew the pregnant woman was in trouble again, but he didn’t think it was appropriate to ask Granny Juanzi about it right then. Glancing at what Yunyi was carrying, he understood the situation had likely changed.

The two of them quickened their pace, taking another route back.

The situation was critical. They had to get the news back immediately and arrange for a screening of all pregnant women in the entire Agricultural Reclamation Group.

On the way back, Huo Jingrui didn’t forget his reconnaissance task. He identified three suspicious locations along the route. When they reached an open area, they discussed their findings.

After confirming the information, Huo Jingrui returned to Yunyi’s small courtyard. With the sample Yunyi had separated for him, he climbed out the window and headed up the mountain.

They moved quickly. Yunyi had just finished analyzing the drug in her special space when she heard knocking on the main gate.
