New book is open: "Qing Dynasty Transmigration: Fourth Master's Beloved Consort", welcoming new and old friends to follow.
Before transmigration, Lin Mengyao was a leftover woman ...
"What exactly did the Fujin say to you?" Ye Ying asked, her voice trembling, as the trembling Yin Shi lay prostrate on her thin, slender shoulders.
"Ye Ying, the Fujin said that the baby in my womb cannot be saved. Doctor Bai's medicine will only keep it in my womb for a few more days." Madam Yin choked up, her words broken and fragmented.
"Princess, please calm down. It's been over four months already, how can you suddenly not be able to stay still? I don't think they hit your belly head-on that day, it couldn't be that serious." Ye Ying felt something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
“Others may not know, but you, Ran, don’t know. I’m still bleeding down there. This is a sign that the pregnancy is not going to last. Ye Ying, what should I do? Without this child, I don’t know how much that Wu family next door will nag.” Madam Yin finally sat up from Ye Ying’s shoulder, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, sobbing all over.
"Oh dear, how could this happen? I didn't think you were seriously injured when you fell that day, how could this happen..." Ye Ying said, still somewhat incredulously.
"Perhaps my body is weak, and I have little appetite. The fetus in my womb is probably unstable to begin with, and then that bump happened!" Madam Yin dared not hate the eldest prince and his Haha Beads, but she hated the person who made those strange things.
Ye Ying could easily see through Madam Yin's thoughts, so she could only comfort her, "Princess, don't be too sad. You are still young. Even if you can't keep this pregnancy, you will still have a chance to get pregnant again. Don't cry and ruin your health."
Madam Yin finally stopped crying. Although her expression did not change visibly after hearing Ye Ying's words, she felt somewhat better inside.
In fact, Ye Ying didn't know that what calmed her down was not her own words of comfort, but rather the same words that the Fujin had said to Madam Yin.
In the study where Madam Yin went to pay her respects to the Fujin, when Madam Yin heard that her unborn child was in danger, she almost lost her balance, and it was Li Mama beside her who immediately supported her.
"Madam, what did you say? My baby is going to die!!" After regaining her balance, Madam Yin's voice changed from her usual gentle tone to one of doubt. Doctor Bai had clearly said that her fall wasn't serious and that she only needed to drink a few doses of medicine to prevent miscarriage.
"Princess Yin, I know it's hard for you to accept this right now, but have you been bleeding from your lower body these past few days? If so, Doctor Bai told me that if the bleeding doesn't stop, you might not be able to save her," the Fujin said with pity, her face filled with deep regret. "It's all my fault for not disciplining Honghui properly, letting them accidentally bump into you. How am I going to explain this to Fourth Master when he returns!"
Upon hearing the words of the Fujin (principal wife), Madam Yin's face immediately turned pale. Since the day she was knocked down, she had indeed been experiencing slight bleeding. She had assumed it was a lingering effect and had even asked Doctor Bai to come and examine her again, but she never expected to receive such words.
No, we can't lose this child!
Suddenly, Lady Yin knelt before the Fujin (Prince's wife), looked up, and pleaded, "Fujin, I beg you, please think of a way to help me keep this child. He is the Fourth Prince's flesh and blood, I cannot live without him."
The Fujin grabbed Yin's arm, her long eyelashes glistening, and a tear rolled down her cheek. "Good sister, get up quickly. If I had a way, I would do everything I could to help you, but Doctor Bai has already said so, what am I supposed to do? Alas, it's all because Honghui and the others were playing with those damn 'skateboards' and bumped into you." The Fujin said apologetically.
Yes, it was all because of Niu Shi's tricks to deceive the eldest prince, encouraging them to be complacent and indulge in frivolous activities, which led to all these troubles.
The hatred in Madam Yin's eyes gradually intensified, and the Fujin saw all of this, a smile spreading across her face.
"Madam, I am not reconciled, but the culprit is not even in the manor." At this moment, Madam Yin could no longer suppress all her jealousy and hatred towards Lanqin, as if Lanqin really was the great villain who was about to make her lose the child in her womb.
“Now that Lady Niu is deeply favored by the Fourth Prince, I’m afraid that even if he returns and finds out about this, it will be my sister who suffers the injustice,” the Fujin said worriedly. “As you said, she is currently at her parents’ home. This matter has nothing to do with her. At most, the Fourth Prince will only punish Honghui.”
Upon hearing the words of the Fujin, Madam Yin almost knelt down again, but fortunately, Granny Li was quick and pulled her back.
"Madam, you must do justice for me! How could my child be harmed for no reason?" Madam Yin no longer cared about anything else; at this moment, she wished she could tear Niohuru Lanqin apart.
“Sister, listen to me. If we want that Lady Niu to take responsibility for this, we can’t tell the Fourth Prince directly. We have to find a way to make her really hurt the baby in your womb, so that she has no chance to defend herself. Only then will the Fourth Prince seek justice for your poor child,” the Fujin said patiently.
"How can I make her clash with me?" Madam Yin didn't bother to wipe away the tears on her face. Like a drowning person grabbing at the only straw, she desperately refused to let go.
Seeing that the time was right, the Fujin gave Li Mama a wink, and the latter immediately understood. She helped Yin Shi to sit down in a high-backed chair, then stirred a towel and helped Yin Shi wipe her face.
The Fujin (principal wife) sat opposite Madam Yin. Seeing that Madam Yin had calmed down, she said, "In a few days, the Third Fujin will send someone to deliver an invitation. At that time, we sisters can all go to her residence for a gathering, shall we?"
At this moment, Madam Yin's mind was entirely focused on how to get Lanqin to take responsibility for the child in her womb. She was surprised by the sudden remark from the Fujin, but had no choice but to reply, "Everything is up to Fujin's arrangements."
“Madam Niu has already returned to the manor. We’ll have her go with us then. That way, won’t my sister have a chance to offend you?” The Fujin raised her hand and smoothed the cuffs of her sleeves, which were embroidered with gold flowers.
What?! Lady Yin stared blankly at the Fujin, that incomparably dignified, gentle, and elegant face.
Seeing that Lady Yin was speechless with shock at her words, the Fujin immediately said regretfully, "I know my sister is reluctant, but I'm afraid the baby in your womb won't make it past this month. When the Fourth Prince returns and asks why, I'll have no choice but to tell him the truth."
“Madam, I think Consort Yin feels that we’ve been too calculating with Consort Niu. But in this mansion, if you don’t act like a human being, you’ll be the one being calculated. Consort Niu made these skateboards, could it be that she thought of this and used the prince to provoke Consort Yin? Her scheming is truly something even this old servant admires. And yet she went back to her maiden home, as if she knew something bad was going to happen in the mansion.” Granny Li chimed in from the side.
