No matter how she tries to prove herself, she cannot escape suspicion.

This is truly frustrating.

By daybreak, Maggie's condition had finally stabilized, and the baby was saved.

Su Wanwan thought to herself that Zhang Yong and the others acted entirely according to Lu Xingjian's attitude.

It was clear that Lu Xingjian had no intention of causing Ma Ji to miscarry.

If Maggie wasn't carrying his child, why would he do this?

Maggie's miscarriage was actually the most advantageous thing for him.

Su Wanwan was about to have breakfast when Lu Xingjian came over.

He has dark circles under his eyes, so he must have had a sleepless night. His clothes are also a bit dirty.

He sat lazily at the table and wiped his hands with the damp cloth that Su Wanwan handed him.

"You weren't scared last night, were you?"

"No, what have you been busy with?" Su Wanwan scooped a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of him.

Lu Xingjian picked up the bowl of porridge, took an elegant sip, and casually brushed it off.

"A bunch of petty thieves, they've been dealt with."

Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.

He wouldn't tell her many things.

She stopped dwelling on the topic and instead brought up Maggie.

"That was so close, I almost miscarried. Do you want to go see her?"

Lu Xingjian paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still. "I'm busy."

After saying that, he looked at her stomach, his eyes softening considerably. "You have to be careful."

Su Wanwan didn't say anything more.

After finishing his meal, Lu Xingjian took a shower and came out looking much more refreshed.

Su Wanwan has packed her things and is ready to return to Beijing.

Lu Xingjian put his arm around her waist and gently nuzzled her ear with his handsome face: "Stay up and take a nap with me."

Alarm bells rang in Su Wanwan's mind, and her eyes showed a hint of panic and shyness.

This is a common way he hints at wanting sex.

"I won't stay with you, you can sleep by yourself." Su Wanwan pulled his hand over and placed it on her stomach, her expression very serious.

Lu Xingjian narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression both playful and meaningful.

"My wife is lustful."

"You're pregnant and you've gotten so thin, do you think I have some other thoughts about you?"

Su Wanwan paused for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Maggie's alluring curves, accentuated by her revealing outfit, certainly looked quite large.

Now he's starting to complain.

When she's heavily pregnant in the later stages of her pregnancy, he won't even notice her anymore.

Lu Xingjian, on the contrary, became more excited. He grabbed her hand and placed it on her abs, which were partially exposed by her slightly open shirt, teasing her meaningfully.

"Or is it that you couldn't control yourself?"

Su Wanwan awkwardly turned her gaze away and coughed lightly.

The two of them fell asleep while talking the night before last, keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other.

When he woke up the next morning, she was clinging to him like an octopus...

His undergarment was wide open.

She placed her hand on his chest muscles, while her own clothes remained perfectly neat.

In comparison, she was the lecherous woman who made unwanted advances, while he was the virtuous gentleman who remained unmoved by temptation.

Actually, it's not entirely unfair to her.

With the heavy burden lifted from her heart and beauty before her, she inevitably became distracted. While she could restrain herself when she was awake, her true nature was easily revealed in her sleep.

"You get some sleep, I need to get back to Beijing soon." Su Wanwan maintained a serious expression.

Lu Xingjian snorted coldly, lifted her chin, his gaze falling on her pink lips, his Adam's apple bobbing, and said casually:

"You're so heartless. You don't want your child's father anymore."

He kissed her as soon as he finished speaking.

The two were locked in a passionate kiss when Crane Shadow's voice came from outside:

"The imperial physician has something to discuss with me, saying that Ma Ji's condition is not good."

Lu Xingjian stiffened slightly and reluctantly released Su Wanwan, his interest, which he had unintentionally stirred up, completely dissipating.

Su Wanwan keenly noticed his change.

That's understandable.

Humans and animals develop feelings for each other after spending a long time together, let alone humans?

Maggie is enthusiastic and outgoing, but actually quite guileless. She's beautiful and lively, and her heart is completely devoted to him.

Unlike Yanruo, she wasn't so obviously driven by self-interest.

Even the Ma family only cultivated the frontier and had not yet gone to the capital to gain any significant benefits from Ma Ji.

Ultimately, Maggie had helped him a lot.

If she were Lu Xingjian, she would also fall for a woman like Ma Ji who is pure and deeply loves her.

It's one thing that Maggie has always been so arrogant.

Now pregnant, she is haggard and sad, on the verge of miscarriage, truly pitiful, weak and helpless.

It is especially effective in arousing a man's pity and protective instincts.

For a domineering and powerful man like Lu Xingjian, showing compassion for the weak is almost instinctive.

Su Wanwan simply told him to rest, and then went out to see the imperial physician.

The imperial physician looked anxious and said that Ma Ji had experienced a miscarriage and was in a very bad mood. He advised her not to rush on her journey and to rest first.

It would be even better if you could go and see him to offer some comfort.

Su Wanwan found it somewhat ironic.

If Maggie insists on going with her, and something happens, it will be troublesome if she is held responsible.

But what Maggie really needed was not her comfort.

I'm afraid that the last person Maggie wants to see is her.

Su Wanwan went out to get into the carriage, but saw Zhang Yong's stern face.

A sharp gaze swept over her.

Su Wanwan was stunned.

There was not a trace of awe in his eyes.

That is the contempt of those in power for the weak.

Zhang Yong's warning immediately came back to mind.

She clenched her fists and stood silently in front of the carriage for a while.

Zhang Yong represented the interests of the chief eunuchs.

With her current strength, she is completely unable to contend with these powerful eunuchs.
