Chapter 35035 How dare you? How dare you?
"How are you? Are you feeling any discomfort?" Xie Zhan sat on the couch, his heart burning.
For no reason, he gently stroked Yun Sheng's belly. She was pregnant with his child. A strange sense of satisfaction filled Xie Zhan's chest.
Yun Sheng clenched her fingers tightly at her sides. She felt the scorching heat from the man's palm, shrank her body, and her soul couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She was afraid and panicked.
Yun Sheng's throat felt dry, and she opened her mouth and said, "I... I'm fine. Maybe I ate something bad, so I'm not feeling well. I shouldn't be pregnant."
Old Lady Xie frowned and said unhappily, "This is your first pregnancy, so naturally you don't feel anything and don't understand. With this kind of reaction, what else could it be but pregnancy?"
"What? You don't want to have my child?" Xie Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at every expression on Yun Sheng's face.
Yun Sheng's heart suddenly leaped, her pale lips parted. Xie Zhan's expression turned cold, and he said calmly, "Whether he has it or not, we'll know when the imperial physician comes to take your pulse."
This was the first grandchild of the Dingbei Marquisate. Even though he was the eldest grandson from a concubine's family, everyone in the family was full of anticipation. Yun Sheng was lying on the bed, surrounded by people.
A moment later, the imperial physician arrived, panting.
Because there were so many people, everyone except Xie Zhan and Old Lady Xie sat outside the screen and waited.
The silk scarf rested lightly on Yun Sheng's slender wrist. She leaned against the head of the bed, her finger bones turning whiter as she pinched her dress, her heart beating so fast that it reached her throat.
It has always been a matter of hesitation, but if this child really comes, it means that fate has made the choice for Yun Sheng.
If she really was pregnant with Xie Zhan's child, what else could she do except stay in his backyard for the rest of her life?
Yun Sheng consoled herself by telling herself that she had taken the initiative to get close to Xie Zhan, and that Xie Zhan treated her well. She had no worries about food and clothing, so she should be content and stop thinking about other things.
Xie Zhan treated her well, Yun Sheng reminded herself again and again.
The imperial physician's face was serious. After a moment, he withdrew his hand and sighed, "I'm afraid that the Marquis and Madam Yun will be disappointed. I have carefully felt Madam Yun's pulse. It's not slippery, but she has been eating too much cold food recently, and her appetite has decreased."
Yun Sheng's long eyelashes trembled, and her clenched fingers gradually loosened.
Xie Zhan's brows were gloomy, his face expressionless. Old Lady Xie hurriedly stood up, a look of disappointment on her face: "Doctor Li, have you taken a closer look? Is it really not a slippery pulse? How many days is her period late?"
"You should know that it's not a big deal for a woman's period to be four or five days late."
Doctor Li paused, then his gaze fell on Yun Sheng and hesitantly said, "It's...it's Madam Yun's body..."
After he finished speaking, everyone present had different thoughts.
Xie Zhan said in a deep voice, "Doctor Li, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
Yun Sheng's heart was pounding, and beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Doctor Li no longer wanted to keep everyone in suspense and said bluntly, "Madam Yun, did you take any contraceptive medicine? Plus, she has not been well-nourished since she was a child. I'm afraid she won't be able to get pregnant in the future."
Old Lady Xie asked, "Is it difficult to get pregnant?"
Her expression changed drastically, and a cold light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
The Third Lady, Zhao Yaoyao, Xie Tinglan and others could not help but sigh and sympathize. This woman in the backyard could not give birth and was a concubine. What good could she get when she lost the man's favor?
Xie Zhan frowned, his thin lips tightened into a straight line: "She was ignorant before and only drank once."
Doctor Li seemed lost in thought. Yun Sheng suddenly felt a numbness in his gaze as he spoke, "My Lord, there's no need to worry too much. It's just that pregnancy is difficult. Madam Yun is not infertile. Wait for me to prescribe some medicine, and you just need to take good care of her on a daily basis."
Xie Zhan personally sent Doctor Li out, and the purse was pressed under the bed by Yun Sheng.
Her eyelids were twitching and her heart was in a state of panic.
Did the imperial physician from the palace really not see anything else?
Yun Sheng felt a little weird, but didn't want to scare himself.
Old Madam Xie had already left with a displeased look on her face. Zhao Yaoyao and Xie Tinglan lay beside the bed to comfort her. Yun Sheng forced a smile, thinking about Xie Zhan going to see off Doctor Li, and was absent-minded.
"Doctor Li, please stay."
"My Lord, please stay."
The two spoke in unison under the eaves.
"Just now, I noticed that Imperial Physician Li seemed hesitant to speak. Is there something else he hasn't said? She only drank that contraceptive soup once, and it damaged her body so much?"
Doctor Li sighed, "Your Majesty is wise. Drinking it once or twice shouldn't be a problem. But when I was taking Madam Yun's pulse, I noticed a odor between the bed curtains. I'm afraid it's a contraceptive. But I haven't seen it myself, so I can't jump to conclusions."
He had been walking around the harem for years and had seen all kinds of contraceptive incense and herbs, so it was nothing new to him. What puzzled him was that Marquis Xie had no other wives or concubines in his backyard, so if no one was deliberately framing him, where did this incense come from?
For the sake of Madam Yun's dignity, he never made it clear in front of others.
Xie Zhan obviously thought of this as well, and his face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying.
Yun Sheng had initially refused to bear his child, having taken the initiative to drink the contraceptive soup. She had also looked strange just now, without a trace of joy at becoming a mother.
In the mansion, only the second wife and her daughter had any grudges against her. However, Yun Sheng was pregnant with his child, and they did not have the courage to murder his offspring.
Xie Zhan sneered and said, "Please trouble Doctor Li to come with me again to take a look."
The door was pushed open. Yun Sheng looked up and felt dizzy for a moment.
Zhao Yaoyao and Xie Tinglan were asked to leave by the maid.
The two looked at each other, feeling uneasy. They had just seen Xie Zhan's cold eyes, which seemed to want to eat someone.
Zhao Yaoyao asked, "You said the Marquis kicked us out, will Sister Sheng be okay?"
"It should be fine. I guess you want to ask the imperial physician to check on my sister-in-law's health again." Xie Tinglan comforted her.
"My Lord...My Lord, why did you call the imperial physician back? I'm in perfect health, nothing serious."
Yun Sheng lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Xie Zhan's eagle-like sharp eyes, and asked tremblingly.
"Why did I call the imperial physician back? Don't you know it in your heart? Yes, you are fine, you are fine."
Xie Zhan gritted his teeth and ordered Ah Xi with a stern face, "Go and search the couch for me, and also your Madam Yun's body. Search them all carefully. I want to see what she has hidden."
Yun Sheng slumped on the couch, his straight back bent.
Ah Xi had a confused look on his face, and obviously hadn't reacted yet, standing there in a daze.
"What are you standing there for? Go and search it?" Xie Zhan glanced at him coldly. Ah Xi had never seen him so angry before. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he trembled.
Although she didn't understand why, she didn't dare to delay any longer and called two or three maids over.
Ah Xi called Yun Sheng twice, only to see that her eyes were lifeless and her face looked dead.
A maidservant suddenly felt something and exclaimed, "My Lord, there's a purse underneath."
"Give it to Doctor Li." Xie Zhan's dark eyes seemed to be able to stir up a storm, and his eyes were as sharp as a needle as he glanced at Yun Sheng.
Doctor Li opened his pouch, pinched some spices, leaned over to smell them, and was immediately horrified: "My Lord, there seem to be dried safflower corollas and lindera in here. These have the effect of preventing pregnancy, but they are very harmful to the body."
Ah Xi exclaimed in astonishment, "My Lord, is this, is this someone trying to harm Madam Yun? It was all due to my negligence that someone took advantage of this opportunity."
Yun Sheng's face turned pale. She opened her mouth and was about to explain, but Xie Zhan said, "Everyone, get out."
His voice was calm, but anyone could hear the raging rage hidden beneath it.
Doctor Li shook his head, and Ah Xi looked at Yun Sheng worriedly.
When the door was gently closed, there were only two people left in the inner room. Xie Zhan looked down at her condescendingly. Yun Shengdeng felt that she was unable to breathe due to the huge pressure.
She held her breath, her bloodless lips trembling slightly: "My Lord, I..."
"Shut up."
Xie Zhan interrupted her angrily, his cold eyes looking at a dead object: "I just want to ask you, did you buy this purse yourself?"
He didn't know what to ask, as he could recognize Yun Sheng's stitches.
There was a heavy silence in the air. Yun Sheng's throat was choked, and the word "yes" escaped from the corner of his lips with difficulty.
“I embroidered it, but I…”
Before Yun Sheng could finish her explanation, she was forced to the head of the bed, and her slender and fragile neck was suddenly pinched by Xie Zhan's big hand, and her face turned red.
Her eyes widened immediately, she had difficulty breathing, and her brain was suffocating so much that she couldn't make a sound.
"How dare you? How dare you? Drinking the stagnation soup wasn't enough? Wasn't I treating you well enough? You're trying to kill my child, you ungrateful bastard. Speak."
Yun Sheng's "yes" was still echoing in Xie Zhan's ears, completely destroying the last bit of rationality left in his brain.
He is a marquis, and the woman he has doted on for so long is trying every means to prevent her from giving birth to a child for him. How ridiculous is that?
Xie Zhan's eyes were bloodshot, and the grip on Yun Sheng gradually intensified. Veins popped on the back of his hand as he watched her breathing grow weaker and weaker, trying to pry his hand away. For a moment, he really wanted to strangle this ungrateful woman who would never learn to be obedient.
"Tell me. You don't want to bear my child, are you still thinking of escaping? Don't forget, your indenture is still in my hands."
This weak woman was unwilling to serve him at first. These days, the two of them were in love day and night. Xie Zhan thought that she had lost her edges long ago, but unexpectedly, she still couldn't learn to be obedient and abide by the law.
He was like a ghost from hell, seeking revenge. His knuckles were trembling with rage, and the rage accumulated in his chest seemed to be about to burst out, burning Yun Sheng's entire body.
Yun Sheng's flushed face gradually turned pale blue, and she felt waves of sharp pain in her cervical vertebrae as if they were crushed by Xie Zhan. She felt as if her blood was flowing backwards, and the feeling of suffocation made her brain dizzy.
He asked her to speak, but she was so breathless that she couldn't make a sound.
Yun Sheng sobbed. She had thought Xie Zhan would be angry, but she had not expected him to be so angry and not listen to her explanation at all.
A feeling of sadness welled up in her heart. What could she say?
Xie Zhan didn't understand the fear and helplessness in her heart at all. He only felt that he was ungrateful. She had a miserable life, and could he really save the child she gave birth to with his little love?
If she hadn't been forced to do so, she never...never wanted to be anyone's concubine. But this was her own choice, so she couldn't blame anyone else.
Yun Sheng looked at the man's bloodshot eyes that had been hardened into ice blades with difficulty, and suddenly closed her eyes resigned to her fate. It would be better if she died, so he might as well strangle her to death.
Strings of hot tears like pearls dripped on the back of Xie Zhan's swollen hand. Yun Sheng's anger rose again. She wanted to live well.
She moved her legs, and Xie Zhan looked at her struggling in pain coldly, and finally took his hand away out of mercy.
Want to die?
Her life, her very being, from top to bottom, inside and out, all belonged to him. Even she herself had no right to say whether she lived or died.
Yun Sheng stroked his neck and breathed heavily.
Her whole body was limp, and her jaw was pinched hard by Xie Zhan again. In Yun Sheng's horrified eyes, he lowered his head, and his rough tongue stretched out in her mouth, stirring it wantonly, taking away all the thin air in her mouth. His movements were extremely rough.
"Even though you don't want to give birth, I insist that you give birth."
