Chapter 30: Lost interest in her?

Liu Ruolan stared wide-eyed at Huo Yunzhan in disbelief. She had already gotten into position, and this was what he was telling her?

She frowned, glancing at Huo Yunzhan's motionless spot, her heart churning with emotions.

Could it be that Huo Yunzhan... is incapable?

But soon she dismissed the idea. A while ago, Huo Yunzhan was incredibly skilled, taking her several times every night.

Liu Ruolan bit her lip. Could it be that because of her sister's witchcraft incident and her father's matter today, Huo Yunzhan felt that his position as Grand Master of the Palace was hopeless, and therefore lost interest in her?

Or perhaps it was because she exposed his feelings for Shen Qingci?

Seeing that Huo Yunzhan had indeed put his underpants back on, Liu Ruolan felt increasingly flustered.

She suddenly felt a pang of regret, regretting what she had said to Huo Yunzhan.

What should she do if Huo Yunzhan really harbors resentment because of this and stops touching her?

She really needs a child right now!

Only by getting pregnant and having her own child can she truly secure her position as the Lady of the Marquis.

By then, it won't matter who the man in front of her is.

As for Shen Qingci, she has plenty of ways to deal with her.

But if Huo Yunzhan stops being intimate with her, how can she get pregnant?

Liu Ruolan's mind raced, but she took a deep breath, wanting to have a good talk with Huo Yunzhan.

But when she looked up, she saw that Huo Yunzhan had closed his eyes, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Liu Ruolan gritted her teeth. She was awake just a moment ago, how could she have fallen asleep so quickly? It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to her, didn't want to chat with her!

Liu Ruolan took a deep breath, but still called out twice, "Yun Ting?"

"Lord Marquis?"

"My husband!"

Huo Yunzhan remained motionless, his breathing gradually becoming steady, as if he was trying to appear as if he had fallen asleep.

Liu Ruolan gritted her teeth, feeling increasingly furious inside.

It's all that bitch Shen Qingci's fault!

If it weren't for her, none of this would have happened.

Little did she know that the person she had been thinking about was right behind her house at that very moment.

Hearing that there was no more movement from inside the house, Shen Qingci exchanged a glance with Wanqing, and the two carefully left the main courtyard, avoiding the patrolling servants, and returned to their own courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, Wanqing couldn't help but laugh: "It's hilarious! Liu Ruolan was all ready, but Huo Yunzhan couldn't make it."

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can imagine that Huo Yunzhan must have been very flustered at the time, right?"

"But he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only make up some excuse, saying that he was tired."

Shen Qingci laughed along: "You want to see it with your own eyes?"

"No, no." Wanqing waved her hands repeatedly, her face full of fear: "This servant doesn't want to, this servant doesn't want to see it with her own eyes at all, it's indecent."

Shen Qingci twitched the corner of her mouth: "It is indeed quite funny. I haven't heard such a funny joke in a long time."

She took a new teacup, poured herself a glass of water, and took two sips: "Today is the first time, so he might be able to get away with it by using such a lame excuse as being tired."

"But after several days in a row, Liu Ruolan will certainly not believe in the so-called tiredness anymore."

"I wonder what Huo Yunzhan will do when that time comes."

Wan Qing chuckled: "Liu Ruolan is eager to get pregnant. If Huo Yunzhan refuses too many times, Liu Ruolan will definitely suspect that Huo Yunzhan is doing this on purpose and doesn't want to have a child with her."

"Liu Ruolan was notoriously spoiled before she got married."

"If Liu Ruolan suspects that Huo Yunzhan deliberately used this method to deal with her, Huo Yunzhan will never have a peaceful day."

"I'm afraid there won't be a day of peace in this Marquis's mansion any longer."

"This servant must keep an eye out for news from the main courtyard; it's very interesting."

Shen Qingci's lips curled slightly, letting her go, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

She had genuinely loved Huo Yunzhan, and Huo Yunzhan had been sincere and kind to her before. When she married Huo Yunzhan, she never imagined that things would come to this...

Although Huo Yunzhan's helpless and desperate appearance was quite amusing, the thought of that person... Huo Yunzhan, who had once been so close to her, still made her feel a tightness in her chest.

Shen Qingci lowered her eyes: "It's getting late, and I'm sleepy too. Let's go to sleep."

Nominally, Huo Yunzhan had died in battle. As a newly widowed woman who had just suffered a miscarriage, she didn't need to pay her respects to the old lady every day. When Shen Qingci woke up, it was almost noon.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with Wanqing's slightly pouting lips.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingci found it somewhat amusing. "Why that expression?"

Wanqing pouted: "I'm afraid we won't be able to see any jokes for the time being."

"Huh?" Shen Qingci took a moment to realize what Wan Qing's joke meant.

"What's wrong? Why can't we watch it?"

Wanqing grumbled, "When I went to the laundry room to deliver dirty clothes, I met Liu Ruolan's maid from the main courtyard. There was blood on the clothes she brought."

"She also told the laundry manager that the Lady Hou had menstrual blood and had soiled her clothes, and asked him to wash them clean."

Shen Qingci's eyelashes trembled: "Then it's true that we won't be able to watch a good show."

but……

If Liu Ruolan has her period, then it proves that her previous calculations were correct.

Liu Ruolan is not pregnant this month. According to the timeline of her previous life, Liu Ruolan was pregnant next month in her previous life.

But she drugged Huo Yunzhan beforehand, rendering him impotent. That girl, Liu Ruolan…

She probably can't get pregnant.

That's fine.

Shen Qingci had just gotten up when someone arrived.

The one who came was a maid from the old lady's side: "Second Madam, the old lady invites you to come and sit down."

Shen Qingci's eyelashes trembled slightly. The old lady invited her?

Why? Was it because she gave Na Yue Niang an abortion pill yesterday?

Shen Qingci responded, changed her clothes, and went to the old lady's courtyard.

The old lady had just come out of the Buddhist hall, her hands holding prayer beads, and her body smelled strongly of sandalwood.

Shen Qingci lifted her eyelids slightly. The old lady spent her days eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers. She wondered who she was atoning for or who she was praying for.

"Qingci is here? Please have a seat."

After Shen Qingci sat down, the old lady carefully asked, "How are you feeling?"

Shen Qingci lowered her eyes: "I'm still a little anemic, after all, I lost too much blood that day. I feel dizzy if I stand or sit for too long, but otherwise I'm fine."

After she finished speaking, she asked directly, "Mother called me here because of Yue Niang's matter, right?"

“I personally gave Na Yue Niang the abortion medicine. If Mother wants to blame someone, blame me.”
