Chapter 151: Rotten to the core

After taking the pulse, the court doctor shook his head and sighed, "The fetus is barely saved now, but Madam has lost too much blood and needs to rest for more than a month. If she is disturbed again, I'm afraid both mother and child will be in danger..."

After Yu sent the court doctor away, she turned around and saw Marquis Huo's face was as gloomy as steel. She hurried forward to persuade him, "Marquis, Yuan'er was also confused for a moment and lost his mind due to anger..."

"A moment of confusion?" Marquis Huo sneered. "The Crown Prince has made it clear that this matter is not over! Is the Huo family's century-long reputation going to be ruined by this evildoer?"

He angrily swung his sleeves and strode out, but suddenly stopped at the threshold and said something without looking back.

"Let the eldest wife come over to look after it."

Yu gritted her teeth and could only lower her head in response.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

As dusk fell, Liang Weiyuan sat alone in the study. The candlelight illuminated her quiet profile. The pale blue shadows under her eyes showed a hint of pink, and she was obviously in good spirits.

She tapped the account book with her fingertips, checking the numbers line by line with a focused look.

Outside the door, the maid quietly reported: "Madam, something happened in the second house. The Marquis asked you to go see the second young lady."

Liang Weiyuan had long guessed that the second branch would end up like this.

Let her go to the theater?

Not bad, go and relieve your boredom.

Before she stood up, Huo Jin saw that she had frowned slightly and walked over to her.

I'll go with you."

Liang Weiyuan paused the tip of his pen, but the corners of his lips lifted slightly.

"good."

The west wing of the second house was even more gloomy than usual.

As soon as I stepped through the door, the strong smell of blood mixed with the bitter smell of medicine hit me in the face.

Huo Jin was standing half a step behind Liang Weiyuan, his figure as straight as a pine tree, and the shadow he cast almost covered the entire bed.

Liang Shanyu was half leaning against the head of the bed at this moment. The gauze wrapped around her forehead was oozing dark red, and her face was as gray as paper.

Hearing the footsteps, she slowly raised her head with a cold gaze, but her eyes suddenly shrank the moment they met Huo Jin's, and her fingers that were clenching the quilt trembled slightly.

——She is afraid of him.

Liang Weiyuan captured the fear at that moment without making any expression.

Huo Jin had been unconscious for a long time and lived in seclusion after waking up. Why was Liang Shanyu so afraid of him?

It seems that something must have happened in the previous life.

"Sister, are you here to laugh at me?"

Liang Shanyu's voice was hoarse, and she forced a sneer, with hatred surging in her heart - how could she not hate?

Huo Siyuan said with his own mouth that the ground blood ginseng was poisonous, but she actually ate a few slices!

If the unborn baby is harmed by this...

She was both afraid and angry, but she didn't dare to lash out at this moment, because Huo Jinjian was just standing there.

"If you're here to watch the fun, sister, then you'd better leave."

Huo Jin saw his eyes turn cold, "How can you say that?"

These few simple words made Liang Shanyu tremble all over, and the wound on her forehead began to bleed again.

Liang Weiyuan and Huo Jin looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

She smoothed her skirt and said calmly, "Today's fruits are all the result of the seeds you sowed yesterday. Take care of yourself, sister. If you need any herbs, just send someone to get them from me."

Liang Shanyu sneered in her heart, feeling both pained and hateful - hypocritical!

Why is Liang Weiyuan so high and mighty? Why is she living a better life than her?

But at this moment, she could only hold the quilt tightly and watch them leave side by side.

Walking out of the west wing, the setting sun had already sunk to the eaves, stretching the shadows of the two people long.

Liang Weiyuan moved closer to the person next to her and lowered her voice slightly, "She's afraid of you."

Seeing that she didn't avoid him, Huo Jin quietly smelled the fragrance on Liang Weiyuan's body, his heart was distracted.

She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes deep.

"She shouldn't be afraid of me."

The sound of porcelain breaking could be heard in the distance, mixed with Huo Siyuan's angry curses.

"Maybe he's sick again."

Liang Weiyuan spoke without mercy, her tone calm and cold: "This family is rotten to the core."

Huo Jin took her hand, his palm warm and dry. "Let's go back. It's dirty here."

Liang Weiyuan's fingertips moved slightly, and her heart seemed to be gently hit by something, causing tiny ripples.

And through the window behind them, Liang Shanyu stared at their clasped hands, her eyes filled with resentment and fear.

Why...why does Liang Weiyuan deserve such protection from him?

She looked down at her bulging belly and dug her nails into her palms.

As long as the child is born safely, she will never let Liang Weiyuan have an easy time!
