Chapter 248 - 247: The Credit of Medicine Pills
At this moment, Song Chi was still feeling a bit nervous. He first allowed Doctor Kong to take his pulse, then underwent many tests, and finally stood aside to wait for the results.
Although the test results had not yet come out, Doctor Kong couldn’t wait to ask: "Mr. Song, have you been taking any medicine lately?" After asking, he looked at Song Chi with great excitement, waiting for his answer.
Seeing Doctor Kong’s behavior, Song Chi couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Kong, what is it?"
"First tell me, have you been taking any medicine?"
Kong Mingsheng had previously thought there was no hope for Song Chi’s health, but now he was beginning to doubt his medical skills. Song Chi, whom he diagnosed as unable to conceive, actually seemed to have regained his fertility.
Song Chi initially wanted to shake his head but then remembered the medicine pills he took every night, and said, "I have indeed been taking medicine. My goddaughter specially made some pills for my wife and me."
"Can you let me see them?"
Song Chi shook his head and said, "Doctor Kong, those pills are already finished."
Hearing this, Kong Mingsheng looked quite disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure, "What did you say? Your goddaughter made them for you? And your goddaughter is?"
"She’s in the ward with Xiaoqing, you just saw her."
"What... that young girl just now..." Kong Mingsheng couldn’t believe it, but knowing Song Chi wouldn’t lie, he felt a bit anxious to discuss it further with the young girl.
However, Old Mrs. Song was also very anxious at this moment. Seeing Kong Mingsheng like this, she couldn’t help but ask, "Doctor Kong, what do you mean by asking all these questions? Can you give me a clear answer?" She had both anger towards Song Xiaoqing and a faint hope that if the child in Song Xiaoqing’s belly was indeed Song Chi’s, then the Song Family would truly have an heir. So she couldn’t help but ask.
Seeing Old Mrs. Song so eager, Kong Mingsheng frowned slightly and said, "The results will be out soon, and then we’ll know."
"Why are you asking so many questions then?"
Kong Mingsheng didn’t say anything. Although he had already determined that Song Chi was indeed cured, he refrained from being too certain about it, knowing that the results would soon confirm it.
Just then, the doctor who had previously examined Song Xiaoqing came over holding Song Chi’s test report.
Kong Mingsheng quickly took it and looked at it. Then he beamed and said, "Mr. Song is indeed better. It seems the pills you took before have miraculous effects, allowing you and your wife to have your own child. Congratulations."
"What... this is actually true."
Old Mrs. Song was in disbelief, then ecstatic. She clasped her hands together, continuously saying, "It is truly heaven’s blessing that our Song Family finally has an heir. Truly heaven’s blessing."
By this time, Song Chi had already returned to the ward, looking at his wife with tender affection.
Song Xiaoqing saw her husband return, but she said nothing for a moment. She was still resentful of Old Mrs. Song’s suspicions, and naturally, her mood wasn’t as joyful as before.
Seeing his wife like this, Song Chi felt only guilt.
"Xiaoqing, if I had known Doctor Kong’s arrival would bother you, I wouldn’t have called him over. I’ll explain things properly to Mom."
Hearing her husband’s words, Song Xiaoqing couldn’t help but sigh. She had noticed Old Mrs. Song’s attitude earlier—without concrete proof, she wouldn’t easily believe it. But honestly, she did feel uncomfortable.
At this time, Kong Mingsheng excitedly looked at Yiyi and asked, "Young lady, did you make those pills for Mr. Song?"
Yiyi, hearing this, glanced at the elderly man in confusion, then looked at Song Chi.
Only then did Song Chi realize he might have spoken too quickly. What if Yiyi didn’t want others to know about this? But it was too late to think about it now, especially since Doctor Kong was someone trustworthy. "Yiyi, this is Mr. Kong Mingsheng. He’s a brilliant doctor. If you ever have any questions, you can seek his advice."
"Ah... no need to talk about advice. I wish to learn from this young lady."
Kong Mingsheng looked eagerly at Yiyi with a serious face.
Upon hearing the name Kong Mingsheng, Yiyi was slightly surprised to look at the elderly man before her, then respectfully called him "Doctor Kong."
Originally, she didn’t know Kong Mingsheng, but after going to university, she heard a lot about him. He was a highly respected elder and an outstanding doctor.
Seeing that Yiyi knew him, Kong Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction and immediately asked, "Young lady, do you still have the pills you made? Can I have a look?"
But before Yiyi could answer, Old Mrs. Song finally entered hesitantly. Seeing Song Xiaoqing again made her a bit awkward, but thinking of the child in her daughter-in-law’s belly, she ultimately apologized, "Xiaoqing, it’s all my fault for doubting you. I’ve watched you grow up, yet I didn’t believe you when it mattered. I shouldn’t have done that. Please forgive me, I promise this won’t happen again."
Seeing Old Mrs. Song bow her head to apologize, Song Xiaoqing felt a surge of emotion.
How long had it been since she’d seen such a gentle side of the old lady? It seemed like it had been over ten years.
Though there was still a tiny thorn in her heart, she smiled and said, "Mom, it’s understandable. After all, anyone would have doubts, so there’s no need for apologies."
Seeing Song Xiaoqing respond, Old Mrs. Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and then grew cheerful, saying with a beaming face, "Xiaoqing, just rest well in the hospital these days. I’ll go home and make some chicken soup for you so you can nourish yourself. You seem to have lost some weight recently." After saying this, Old Mrs. Song left with Wei Li.
At this moment, Wei Li appeared completely dazed. She genuinely hadn’t expected Song Xiaoqing to suddenly become pregnant. This meant that she would become even more irrelevant in the Song Family, since the Song Chi couple now had their own child, leaving no place for any collateral relatives’ children.
Seeing that the interruption caused by Old Mrs. Song was finally over, Kong Mingsheng quickly turned back to Yiyi and asked the previous question.
Yiyi did not refuse. She directly took out a bottle of pills and handed it to him, saying, "These are the pills I made for my godfather and godmother, mainly for strengthening the body." Kong Mingsheng eagerly opened the bottle, poured out a pill, then took a deep breath to smell it. "This... this is hundred-year-old Lingzhi, along with several nourishing herbs, but..." After smelling again, Kong Mingsheng frowned, "There’s something else I can’t identify."
There was actually a medicinal ingredient he couldn’t recognize. What exactly was this last ingredient?
