Chapter 317: Chapter 267: Crushed Foot (Part 2)
She had already planned that if Jiang Jing said anything unfavorable to her, like the child wasn’t prematurely born, she’d firmly accuse them of trying to sow discord.
She had bribed numerous doctors, all of whom could testify that this was a premature baby. If things escalated, she would call those doctors to confront them. She didn’t believe that Marquis Jing’an would trust the words of a young girl over those of seven or eight doctors.
Su Yaoguang and Jiang Jing exchanged glances.
The latter said, "The young lord does have some deficiency symptoms. At his age, medication is inconvenient, so the nurse should eat well and feed him to improve his constitution."
"Does the child have any other issues?" Marquis Jing’an asked.
"Although there are some deficiency symptoms, it’s not a major problem; with some care, it will be fine. As for other issues, there’s indeed something... but I’m not sure if I should mention it."
"Doctor Jiang, please speak," Marquis Jing’an said, "As a physician, there are symptoms that cannot be concealed. You should speak freely if there are any issues with the child."
Jiang Yihuan thought that when Jiang Jing mentioned deficiency symptoms, they might have had a change of conscience and finally decided not to trouble her. But she was thrilled too soon. She knew these people had malicious intentions. They wouldn’t rest until they saw her suffer. But this time, she wouldn’t lose. She finally managed to secure a man like Marquis Jing’an, and she intended to become a Marchioness enjoying wealth and glory.
The child was her greatest asset, and she wouldn’t let anything happen to him.
"He’s my child, and I’m the most aware of any issues he might have. We all know Doctor Jiang’s reputation, but one doesn’t have to diagnose a problem with every patient; sometimes, if a child is healthy, it should just be stated directly," Jiang Yihuan retorted.
"The child’s body is very healthy, but I noticed something about his mind..." Jiang Jing hesitated.
"What do you mean by that?" Marquis Jing’an frowned.
An unusual expression flashed in the Marchioness’s eyes.
Marquis Jing’an had been longing for this chubby little boy.
Concerning this child, she definitely felt upset but never considered harming him. Regardless of adult grudges, the child was innocent. Therefore, even though she detested that treacherous couple, she never thought of harming the child.
Now, listening to Jiang Jing’s words, was there indeed something wrong with the child?
"I mean, he seems to have poor mental development and might be a fool," Jiang Jing said, "Marquis, a child this age should show developmental signs; their eyes shouldn’t appear this dull. Look, I’m holding something in front of him, and he shows no reaction."
"Impossible, you’re the fool; my son can’t be a fool," Jiang Yihuan cursed, "Even if you don’t get along with me, you shouldn’t curse my child."
But Marquis Jing’an took it to heart.
He had seen many children and knew what kind of reactions they should have.
"Someone..." Marquis Jing’an said, "Call the Imperial Physician... "
Concerned about the child’s matter, Marquis Jing’an dared not take it lightly and immediately summoned the best physician from the Capital City to examine his son.
"If there’s nothing more here, let’s move elsewhere for tea!" Marchioness suggested, "I think the Second Madam might not be in the mood to entertain guests anymore. Since I invited these guests, I should greet them personally. Marquis, please take your sister back to her courtyard and wait for the physician."
Jiang Yihuan indeed had no mind left for mischief now.
Her mind was fully occupied with the question of whether her son was a fool.
In fact, she hadn’t really cared for him regularly; he was always under the nurse’s care. Now, when asked about the child’s reactions and changes, she was at a loss.
The Marchioness led Su Yaoguang and the others back to her courtyard.
Back in the courtyard, the Su Family sisters became increasingly curious about Jiang Jing’s diagnosis. Earlier, in front of the Marquis, they restrained themselves from asking directly. Now, with the two most concerned people about whether the child was a fool not present, they could freely inquire.
"Jing’er, was what you said really true, or were you intentionally trying to annoy Jiang Yihuan?" Zhang Pandi asked curiously.
All eyes were on Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing replied, "It’s true. That child is most likely a fool."
Su Yaoguang looked at the Marchioness: "Now it seems Jiang Yihuan’s biggest asset is a lost cause. Marchioness, if the child is a fool, Marquis Jing’an will surely be very angry."
