Li Wenjuan lowered her head and gently touched her lower abdomen.

Xu Tingting immediately understood.

Xu Tingting: "Mom, you're not going to tell me you're pregnant with his child, are you?"

Li Wenjuan bit her lip and nodded heavily.

Xu Tingting: "Mom, how could you be so confused!"

Li Wenjuan kept shaking her head, saying, "Mother was wrong, all of this was wrong! It's a sin, it's all a sin!"

Xu Tingting grabbed Li Wenjuan's hand and said, "Mom, let's run away now and pretend none of this happened. Let's go back to how we always were, okay?"

Li Wenjuan stroked her belly, looked at it, and said, "But what about him?"

Xu Tingting looked at her mother's belly and said, "This..."

The carriage sped along the road.

Because of the bad road conditions, the carriage suddenly became very bumpy.

Li Wenjuan suddenly clutched her stomach and said, "It hurts, it hurts—"

Xu Tingting nervously grasped Li Wenjuan's hand and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Large beads of sweat rolled down Li Wenjuan's forehead.

Bright red blood flowed from her legs, dripping onto the ground.

Li Wenjuan cried as she looked at the blood on the ground, saying, "My child, my child—"

Xu Tingting had never seen anything like it before, and she was almost paralyzed with fear. Crying, she hugged Li Wenjuan and said, "Mother, Mother—"

The sound of horses' hooves came from behind the carriage.

Qi Junxian: "Stop the carriage ahead!"

Hearing the voice, Xu Tingting turned around in surprise: "It's my second cousin! My second cousin has come to save us! Mom, hang in there, my second cousin is here!"

Li Wenjuan's forehead was covered in sweat, and she kept clutching her stomach and crying out in pain.

Qi Junxian rode his horse and quickly caught up with the carriage.

A group of people stopped the coachman.

The coachman had no choice but to stop.

Qi Junxian waved his hand, and several guards restrained the coachman.

Qi Junxian rushed to the carriage to save the person.

Li Wenjuan was in so much pain that she almost fainted.

Xu Tingting looked at Qi Junxian and cried, "Second cousin, please save my mother!"

Qi Junxian had never seen such a scene before, so he said, "Someone! Quickly take my aunt to the nearest clinic for treatment!"

"yes!"

Qi Junlin and his team also subdued Zhou Zhe.

Qi Junlin interrogated Zhou Zhe: "You tricked your aunt into giving you the formula. Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

Zhou Zhe: "Hmph! You won't get anything out of me!"

Qi Junlin: "You are deliberately going against the Crown Prince! Speak quickly! Who ordered you to do this?"

Zhou Zhe laughed loudly, then rushed to the guard next to him, drew his sword, and slashed his neck.

Immediately, blood flowed freely.

Zhou Zhe collapsed heavily to the ground.

Qi Junlin didn't have time to stop him; he ran to Zhou Zhe's side.

Qi Junlin: "You can't die! You can't die!"

However, Zhou Zhe had already cut the carotid artery with his sword, and after laughing twice, he ended his life.

On the way to take Li Wenjuan to the clinic, Qi Junxian encountered Qi Junlin.

Qi Junxian said, "Brother, I'll take Aunt to the clinic first."

Qi Junlin: "Alright! This man over here is dead too. We can't get any clues from him."

Li Wenjuan frantically opened the window and saw Zhou Zhe lying on the ground with a pool of blood next to him.

She clutched her stomach, jumped off the carriage, and threw herself on Zhou Zhe, crying out in pain.

Qi Junxian quickly dismissed the others.

Li Wenjuan pounded on Zhou Zhe's body, saying, "You damned bastard, how could you die? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet! You and the child are gone, what am I going to do?"

The Qi brothers exchanged a glance and immediately understood what was going on.

Qi Junlin advised Li Wenjuan, "Aunt, the dead cannot be brought back to life, don't be too sad!"

Li Wenjuan grabbed Qi Junlin and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.

Li Wenjuan: "It was you, you killed him!"

Qi Junlin shook his head and said, "No, he committed suicide."

Qi Junxian was furious with his aunt.

Qi Junxian: "Aunt, you've ruined my elder brother and the Crown Prince for this man! Was it worth it?"

Li Wenjuan broke down in tears, clutching her head: "I don't know, I don't know."

Xu Tingting hugged her mother and gently patted her back, saying, "Mom, it's alright, it's alright now."

Qi Junlin looked at the blood flowing from Li Wenjuan's legs and said, "Oh no, Aunt has miscarried!"

Qi Junxian sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's better that she miscarried. Neither of them are my uncle's children."

Xu Tingting looked helplessly at her two cousins ​​and said, "Cousins, please, don't tell my dad, okay?"

Qi Junlin: "Such a big matter can probably no longer be kept secret."

Xu Tingting: "No! If Father finds out, he will lose face, and Mother will definitely suffer!"

Li Wenjuan stared blankly at Zhou Zhe, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

Xu Tingting: "How about this, I'll take Mother away to a place where no one knows us. We won't let Father find us, so he won't blame Mother!"

Qi Junlin: "Your aunt can leave, but how can you, as the only daughter of your uncle's family, just disappear without a trace?"

Qi Junxian: "After we get back, I can say that my aunt committed suicide out of guilt and is gone. That way, no one will bother her anymore. But, Tingting, you have to come back with us!"

Qi Junlin: "Yes. Your uncle has suddenly suffered such a blow, you can't leave him anymore, Tingting."

Xu Tingting: "Okay, I'll follow my cousin's arrangements. Tingting is very grateful!"

After saying this, Xu Tingting was about to bow deeply to her two cousins.

The Qi brothers quickly helped her up.

Li Wenjuan muttered to herself, "Dead, dead! Hahaha, hahaha!"

Qi Junlin squatted down and asked Li Wenjuan, "Aunt, who is this person? Who is he acting on his behalf? You must tell us the truth!"

Li Wenjuan, however, ran her fingers through her hair and kept muttering to herself incoherently.

Li Wenjuan: "He's dead! How did he die? Hahaha!"

Xu Tingting looked at her mother through tears and said, "Mom, what's wrong? Mom—"

Qi Junxian sighed and said, "Alas! My aunt has probably gone mad."

Qi Junlin: "My aunt was the only one who knew the truth. Now that she's gone mad, the trail has gone cold."

Xu Tingting looked at her cousin with remorse and said, "I'm sorry, cousin!"

Qi Junxian: "Tingting, this is none of your business."

Qi Junlin: "Junxian, send a reliable person to take Aunt to the clinic as soon as possible. After everything is ready, we'll find her a quiet place to enjoy her old age. If Tingting wants to visit her then, she can do so discreetly."

Qi Junxian: "Yes, elder brother!"

Xu Tingting wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you, cousin!"

Qi Junlin: "I still have to go back and report. It's still difficult to determine this man's identity."
