Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 348 Not even a miracle.

　　Lang was surprised by what Chen Mi said but then again she understood how important it was for a mer to be pregnant with a child, yet Shen Li and Ye Liu have been without a child for so many years, it would be surprising if they don’t get worried now that Fang Chi who only entered the house a few months was already pregnant. 

Though she was really tired after doing a night shift, she still nodded and conceded to Chen Mi’s wishes before heading inside and telling Zhu Qian where she was going only then did she change her clothes and rushed out of the house, Zhu Qian who came to see her off was also looking worried as he glanced at Chen Mi who embarrassingly apologised. ” Brother Qian, I am really sorry about right now but I am worried about the two of them. They might look like they have everything under control but the two also have a few breaking points and I am worried that they might not be able to withstand what the doctor will tell them, that’s why I——”

Zhu Qian shook his head and waved Chen Mi’s apology aside. “I understand your concerns brother Mi, in fact, I too am worried about the two leaving the house like this, it’s as if they—” he didn’t finish but Chen Mi understood what he was trying to say.  His brothers left the house without telling anyone where they were going, it was like they both had the same thought in their minds.

If things didn’t go as planned, they will not return.

Shen Li and Ye Liu didn’t go to the town directly but instead, they took the carriage and rode to the opposite village and then changed to another carriage from where they travelled to the outskirts of the town. It was a measure in case anyone followed them. 

When they arrived at the town, they changed into another set of clothing and then walked to the doctor who was well known for her expertise in mers pregnancies. The doctor was an old lady and she had a kind face when they told her about their predicament, she was fairly sympathetic and asked them to sit down, after all, they arrived before she could set up her clinic.

The old lady was in her eighties but she was quick on her feet in just a few minutes, she finished organising the entire medical clinic and then turned to look at Shen Li and Ye Liu before she asked, ” How is your wife’s health is she alright?”

Shen Li was a bit awkward when asked about Yu Dong’s health but he still nodded and answered, ” She is in excellent condition, doctor.”

” Hmm,” mused the old doctor as she asked Shen Li to hold his hand out and took his pulse, then she did the normal checkup that wasn’t weird but flabbergastingly the old doctor started to frown then she did the same with Ye Liu and her frown deepened then she took out a paper and brush. ” Do you feel heaviness in your body like tiredness after spending a night with your wife? Is it hard for you to get used to intimacy? Has your cinnabar lost its glow in the past couple of years?”

Shen Li blinked and then stiffly nodded. ” I do…I do feel these symptoms, though they are not serious and the cinnabar, I have never paid attention to it.”

Ye Liu nodded as well to what Shen Li said, he is used to his face and he never noticed whether there was anything wrong with his cinnabar or not.

The old lady nodded and then took out a bunch of silver needles before tilting her head at Shen Li. ” Please head inside the room.” Then she knocked on the table and a mer what out, he was dressed cleanly in a white robe. The old lady handed him the needle and said, ” apply it on the same spot as the other mers alright?” Then she turned to Shen Li and said “And no matter how bad it hurts, you have to patiently bear it, alright?”

Shen Li nodded and did as she asked, the mer guided him to the inside room and spoke in a patient and professional manner. “Please take off your pants and lie down.” Shen Li hesitated but then for the sake of a child, he did as asked. The mer sanitised the needles and placed them accurately on one of his acupuncture on the inside of Shen Li’s leg where the kidney and spleen meridians ran, then one by one he placed the needles on the ankle bones. 

Just as he finished doing it, two minutes later Shen Li jerked in pain but the mer pushed him down. ” You have to bear it, this is necessary for your treatment.”

Clenching his fists, Shen Li laid back down on the table and took a few calmly breaths but then he started to feel like he was choking on something as a fishy taste filled his mouth. 

” If you want to spit the blood please do it in this bowl.” The mer didn’t even bat an eye as he stoically placed a bowl next to Shen Li, though his voice was calm, Shen Li noticed the sympathetic glint in his eyes, and his heart dropped as he spat out the black blood from his mouth. 

Once the blood was collected the mer removed the needles and asked Shen Li to put his pants on and called for Ye Liu. Ye Liu shot a worried look at Shen Li as he walked past him but for the first time in his life Shen Li didn’t console him instead he walked toward the doctor’s clinic and sat down in a daze. 

Soon, Ye Liu too walked out looking just as shocked and confused as Shen Li. The mer brought the two bowls and handed them to the old doctor who frowned and shook her head as she checked the blood, and breathed heavily. ” I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news,” she said as she looked at them sympathetically. ” Is your wife with you?”

” We came without telling her,” answered Shen Li calmly a bit too calmly.

The old doctor tapped her finger on the table and looked a bit uncomfortable and sympathetic. “I am really sorry but there is nothing that I can do for you two anymore, you have been poisoned bit by bit over the years—— I am afraid it’s too late to save your wombs now.” She pointed at the two bowls and grimaced. ” With this much poison in your body, even a miracle will have a hard time repairing your damaged cells.”

Just like that the blade of the guillotine hanging on their necks fell.
