Another year passed uneventfully.
Su Qing's ordinary mortal body had changed.
Though the changes were subtle, they seemed to be telling the world that he was growing older.
"Master Su, I wonder how the mother and child are doing?"
"Eat more good food. Things like meat would be best."
"Keep your diet light. Mother and child should be safe and sound."
...
Su Qing finished another consultation.
Su Qing's changes were noticed by quite a few people.
He was, after all, just an ordinary person—albeit one with excellent medical skills.
He was also an oddball. He wouldn't take a wife and didn't visit brothels. He just seemed too strange.
Wouldn't any normal man indulge in some questionable pleasures?
He seemed to have no such inclinations, and rumors quietly began to spread that Su Qing was a natural-born eunuch.
The gossip eventually reached Su Qing's ears.
He didn't care at all.
That is, until an actual natural-born eunuch was cured by Su Qing.
