Chapter 1333 The Returnee's Notes 407

As soon as Xie Ning touched the old-fashioned books, her handbag moved, and a palm-sized wooden box flew out. The box opened, revealing a mirror inside.

Sect Leader Fang's pupils contracted. "What is this?"

Xie Ning was also shocked. This was confiscated by her subordinates. She saw that there were many forbidden spells on it, so she sealed it in a wooden box and planned to ask Sect Master Fang about it when she came here.

Unexpectedly, it created a reaction with this book.

The small bronze mirror spun rapidly in the air, and the words on the open pages below seemed to dance. In the next instant, Xie Ning found himself in an unfamiliar place, with no time to react.

Looking up, one sees several layers of dark blue gauze curtains.

Immediately afterwards, someone poked her from behind and whispered, "Qingmiao, go in."

Xie Ning hadn't realized where she was yet, so she could only lower her head, carry the tray, and lift the gauze curtain to go inside.

Inside was the inner room, which looked antique.

However, the table and chairs that should have been placed under the window were moved to the gauze curtain, where a lady dressed in simple clothes sat.

She placed her hand on her slightly protruding belly, lost in thought.

The maid who came in with Xie Ning finished her work and, seeing Xie Ning still staring blankly, scolded her in a low voice, "Why aren't you going to burn incense? Why are you acting like a dazed goose today?"

"The sun is scorching, and I feel a little dizzy from the sun. Please don't be offended, sister."

Xie Ning made up an excuse, then took the small tray to the incense burner and began to burn incense.

She wasn't an expert in incense-related matters, but she could do the basics.

However, something strange happened here. Logically, it shouldn't be the right time to burn incense, as it was getting late.

However, Xie Ning smelled the incense cakes on the tray and the lingering fragrance in the bronze incense burner. The two were not the same. One was a common floral and fruity fragrance, while the other had some medicine added, giving it a medicinal scent. However, it was harmless to the human body and only had a calming and soothing effect.

But where is this place? Xie Ning burned incense while secretly observing his surroundings.

Could it be an illusion?

Just as Xie Ning was burning incense, a man led a doctor in, and the maids in the room all bowed and greeted him as "Master."

The doctor sat on the other side of the table beside the curtain, examining the lady through the curtain.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Ning finally heard a deep, cold male voice, "Doctor, is Madam's baby a boy?"

He asked directly, and the doctor, who was already familiar with him, didn't beat around the bush. He simply sighed and said, "This is a slippery pulse on the right; it should be a girl."

The doctor knew that the Song family already had two daughters, including Madam Song alone. Moreover, Lord Song and Madam Song were getting older and were eager for a legitimate son to inherit the family business. Otherwise, they would probably have to adopt a child.

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Madam Song's face turned pale, and her mind went blank. She only came to her senses after Lord Song saw the doctor out and returned.

Lord Song's expression was not good. He needed a legitimate son, but now he didn't even have a son born out of wedlock, let alone a legitimate son.

Looking at his pale-faced wife, Lord Song softened his tone, but said the most heartless words, "Yunniang, let's have another child."

It means that we don't want the baby in our belly now.

Madam Song lowered her head, placed her hand on her protruding belly, and nodded silently.

What she really wanted to ask was, what if the next baby is also a girl?

Lord Song was busy with official duties, so he only said a few words of comfort before leaving. Madam Song dismissed all the maids, leaving only an old nanny.

"Granny, I can't bear to part with you."

The old nanny's stance was the same as Lord Song's, but she also felt sorry for the lady she had watched grow up. "The baby is still far along in the pregnancy. If you are reluctant to part with the baby now, won't you be even more reluctant to part with it after it is born?"

Moreover, from pregnancy to childbirth, and then a period of rest after giving birth, I'm afraid my lady cannot wait that long.

You're too old to wait.

"Getting rid of this child will harm your health."

The old nanny felt sorry for this, because both childbirth and miscarriage are harmful to the body, but in her experience, childbirth is more damaging than miscarriage.

If you don't want this child, it's better to terminate it sooner rather than later.
