In Yunshuang Courtyard, Sang Jiang squinted as she basked in the sun while listening to Chunhe tell her gossip.
By the end, she was laughing so hard her mouth was practically agape.
As if suddenly remembering something, she opened her eyes and looked at Chunhe: "Did Zheng Yigeng send someone to follow us?"
Chunhe nodded with a smile: "Princess, rest assured, everything is arranged. If nothing unexpected happens, Zheng Yigeng will be brought here shortly."
"Mmm." Sang Jiang nodded and continued to squint in the sun.
...
At this moment, Sang Hongfu's courtyard was in an uproar. Sang Yun had been busy helping Yang Muchen find his sister, while Sang Rui had long been focused on the wedding. Both siblings were not in the mansion today.
The First Madam sat in the hall, nervously twisting the handkerchief in her hand as she watched the maids coming and going.
He's gambling now, betting that Zheng Yigeng can find a carriage quickly and take her away.
Unfortunately, she waited all afternoon but didn't see Zheng Yigeng. Instead, she saw Princess Luoying's maid, Chunhe.
Chunhe looked at her with a strange expression and said, "Madam, what's wrong? Why are you here? Oh, your face is so pale. I just went out to buy something for the princess and happened to see the head of the household rushing off in a carriage. It can't be that..."
She suddenly stopped and pointed to Sang Hongfu's room.
Upon hearing that the head steward had fled in a carriage, the First Madam felt completely empty, her mind instantly blank.
She ran away? Are they just going to abandon her?
She staggered a couple of steps and sat down in the chair.
Chunhe quickly stepped forward to support her: "Madam, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
The First Madam had no mind to pay attention to her at this moment; she was clutching her handkerchief tightly, her chest heaving.
When Chunhe saw that she was being ignored, she simply turned around and left.
Anyway, she delivered the message; how she responds is up to the First Madam.
...
The doctor worked tirelessly for two hours before finally stopping Yang Liu's bleeding.
He looked at Sang Hongfu with a sorrowful expression and said, "Prime Minister, we did our best, but the child... is gone."
Sang Hongfu's heart sank. He looked at the doctor and asked in a deep voice, "What about the concubine? How is she?"
The doctor shook his head slightly: "My aunt lost too much blood. I could only save her life for now. She'll need proper care in the future, but..."
The doctor paused at this point.
Sang Hongfu immediately became anxious. He frowned and pulled the doctor aside, saying, "It's nothing serious, doctor. Please tell me everything is alright."
The doctor looked at him and sighed, "It's just that I'm afraid your aunt will never be able to have children again."
Sang Hongfu breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard this.
He nodded to the doctor: "I understand, thank you, doctor."
"You're too kind, sir." The doctor waved his hand at him. "In that case, I'll head back now. My aunt should wake up tomorrow. She just needs to drink some medicine and rest properly."
"Okay, thank you, doctor!" Sang Hongfu gestured to the doctor to let him see the doctor out. "Butler, please see the doctor out."
The butler heard the noise, came in, and took the doctor out.
After the doctor left, Sang Hongfu immediately called Xiao Hui over: "Keep an eye on your aunt. Call me as soon as she wakes up."
After saying that, he turned around and walked directly towards the main hall.
The First Madam sat in the main hall, listening to the familiar voice growing closer, her heart filled with increasing panic. She had initially felt somewhat reassured that Zheng Yigeng would come to fetch her, but now…
