Chapter 546 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 38

"Are you sure it's Sea Spirit Grass?" Jun Yu asked again.

Still clinging to the last glimmer of hope, I wished that the doctor had made a mistake and that it was all a misunderstanding.

Doctor Li stroked his gray beard and nodded solemnly.

"Young master, I have practiced medicine for over forty years, and I can certainly distinguish the medicinal properties of these herbs. If you come into contact with these incompatible substances, there is a high chance of miscarriage!"

Doctor Li's words shattered Jun Yu's hopes.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if someone had stabbed him with a knife.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Before the matter is fully investigated, it is best not to take any rash actions.

He returned to the house in a daze.

Inside the house.

Jiang Zhiyi had finished showering and was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Her black hair was loosely tied up with a single plain silver hairpin, and she wore a soft, moon-white nightgown.

Seeing Junyu return, she immediately looked up and asked, "Why did you take so long? Is the medicine ready?"

Junyu sat down beside her.

“I just showed the doctor the previous prescription. He said your pregnancy has been a bit weak lately, and some of the herbs in the original prescription are too drying, so they might not be suitable for this blood clam meat… You shouldn’t take the medicine today. Continue with the original prescription for the next few days. If you really want to take it, wait for the doctor to revise the prescription…”

As he spoke, he kept a close eye on Jiang Zhiyi's reaction.

Jiang Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, worried that something had been discovered about her, but she still pretended to be nonchalant.

"Oh, it's alright, we'll talk about it after the doctor has revised the prescription."

She quickly made up her mind.

Without the blood clam meat, all the seaweed I ate before would have been for nothing.

If all else fails, she will try to brew the medicine herself tomorrow.

Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts and had no interest in chatting. They turned off the lights, cuddled together, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Junyu sent people to the streets to inquire whether any women had recently purchased seaweed.

Not long after, a servant returned and reported that a pharmacy had indeed sold a box of high-quality seaweed a few days ago.

The buyer was a woman dressed in plain clothes and whose face was covered with a headscarf. Judging from her figure and attire, she should be Jiang Zhiyi.

Upon hearing this news, Junyu's heart sank to the bottom.

Not only that, this morning Jiang Zhiyi secretly went to the kitchen and added blood clam meat to the pregnancy-preserving medicine.

Fortunately, his men noticed in time and secretly switched the bowl, preventing her from succeeding.

This one incident is enough to prove that she was aware of it.

She really wanted to abort the child herself!

Junyu could no longer pretend. He suddenly stood up and strode towards the bedroom.

Jiang Zhiyi was combing her hair in front of the dressing table when she saw him walk in with a gloomy expression, and she almost dropped the comb in her hand.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Junyu walked up to her and asked, "Tell me, did you buy seaweed?"

Having been husband and wife, he no longer wanted to have so many complicated relationships with her.

He just wanted to ask her directly!

Jiang Zhiyi's expression changed instantly, and her first reaction was to shake her head in denial.

"No! I've never bought any seaweed. Who told you that?"

Junyu's voice rose a few decibels, almost unable to contain his emotions.

"How long are you going to keep lying to me? Do you know that sea bream and blood clam meat are incompatible and will cause you to miscarry? Do you not want this child at all?"

He directly exposed the truth of the matter.

Jiang Zhiyi was speechless after his question. Knowing that everything she had done had been exposed, she didn't say anything more.

After a while, Junyu asked again, "Why did you do this? How could you be so heartless?"

Jiang Zhiyi lowered her head and remained silent for the time being.

If she could, she would have liked to keep the child; she was reluctant to part with him, but now that things had come to this, there was nothing more to say.

She had already been feeling down these past few days, and now, being questioned like this by Junyu, she couldn't hold back her temper and retorted, "So what? I'm just that heartless! I don't want this child, and I can't have it!"

Although Junyu was furious, he remained calm.

Hearing her final words, "I can't have it either," filled me with doubt.

Why can't we keep this child?

They were a married couple who had gone through the traditional wedding ceremony, and their marriage was perfectly legitimate. Moreover, it was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, which was considered an unparalleled honor in the eyes of the world.

If they can't even keep their own children, then there probably won't be any children in the world that can be kept.

Junyu pondered carefully.

In a flash, another terrible idea came to him.

Could it be... that the child in her belly isn't his?
