Back at Lanting Yaju, Lu Jinzhou took her directly into the bathroom and said, "Take a shower, don't catch a cold. I'll get you some clothes."
Shen Nianchu grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, his eyes were scarlet, filled with grievances, and asked with a little hope, "I said I didn't push her, do you believe it?"
Lu Jinzhou said without hesitation, "I believe it."
Shen Nianchu's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Just trust me."
"Don't think too much, go take a shower, and leave the rest to me."
Shen Nianchu said nothing and turned into the bathroom.
…
Lu Jinzhou had been waiting at the door. After waiting for more than half an hour, she still didn't come out. The sound of water was still there. He knocked on the door and said, "Niannian, are you almost done?"
There was no sound from inside. Thinking of how she had behaved before, Lu Jinzhou was really worried, so he opened the door and went in without permission.
Under the shower, Shen Nianchu stood quietly with her eyes closed, letting the water pour down from the top of her head. A thumb-sized piece of flesh was broken on her left arm, and blood flowed from the wound, along the back of her hand, dripping to her feet, and then flowing into the floor drain along the water flow.
Lu Jinzhou walked over quickly, turned off the water, and wrapped her in the towel next to him. "What's going on?"
There was no injury on her arm before she entered the bathroom.
Shen Nianchu casually glanced at the wound on his arm, "I accidentally scratched it, I was just about to go out."
Lu Jinzhou carried her out and took out a medicine box to help her treat her wounds.
Her skin was already delicate, and the wound looked particularly hideous and irregular. It didn't look like an accidental scratch, but more like she had scratched it herself.
Lu Jinzhou glanced at her right hand resting on the bed, and sure enough, he saw blood stains on her fingernails.
“Shen Wanqing…how is it?”
"In the hospital. Pei An just made a phone call and hasn't come out of the operating room yet."
"I want to go to the hospital."
Lu Jinzhou helped her with the emergency treatment, "Okay, change your clothes, it's time to go to the hospital to treat the wound."
…
When the two arrived at the hospital, Shen Wanqing had already come out of the operating room. The child was not saved and lay on the bed without saying a word, her face extremely pale.
Chen Lan stayed by the bed, tears streaming down her face. "Wanqing, please say something. If you don't want to talk, can you just close your eyes and rest for a while? Don't scare your mother like this. What's wrong with you?"
When her daughter remained silent, Chen Lan turned her gaze to Shen Nianchu: “Nianchu, didn’t you also go to the dinner party? What happened?”
Hearing this, Shen Wanqing finally reacted. She struggled to sit up from the bed, picked up the cup on the bedside table and threw it at Shen Nianchu, "It's all you! Shen Nianchu! It's all your fault. I want you to pay with your life."
Lu Jinzhou immediately protected Shen Nianchu in his arms to prevent her from being injured. Pei An and several bodyguards immediately stepped forward to control the crazy Shen Wanqing.
Chen Lan couldn't beat the bodyguard, so she could only look at Shen Nianchu in confusion: "Nianchu, what are you doing? What did Wanqing just say? What do you mean by you harmed me?"
Shen Wanqing was shackled and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mom, it was Shen Nianchu who caused my miscarriage. She pushed me and made me fall to the ground."
"What?" Old Lady Shen heard this as soon as she reached the door. She immediately swung her cane to hit Shen Nianchu, "You unlucky star! You killed the Shen family's only grandson back then, and now you've caused Wanqing to have a miscarriage. How come it wasn't you who died young back then?!"
Lu Jinzhou grabbed the old lady's cane and glared at her, "Old Madam Shen, be kind with your words."
Madam Shen was obviously frightened by the man's cold and fierce aura. She tugged at her cane twice but failed to pull it out. She said evasively, "Master Lu, I'm afraid you've been deceived by my unfilial granddaughter. She has always been a troublemaker. When she was a child..."
"Shut up, I know what kind of person she is, there's no need for you to slander her."
Old Madam Shen: “…”
I really don't know what kind of seductive tricks this Shen Nianchu used to scare a task like Lu Jinzhou so much that he is stunned, and now he stands up to speak for her.
Shen Nianchu didn't take the insults from Old Lady Shen seriously at all. After all, she had heard these words so many times that her ears were already callused.
"Chen Wanqing, you know whether I pushed you or not. If you just want to use your miscarriage to frame me, you are hurting yourself and your enemy. I think it is wise for you to use this child to gain a firm position in the Yu family."
Shen Wanqing clutched the quilt tightly around her, said nothing, and returned to her previous miserable state, shedding tears in despair.
Old Mrs. Shen was even more distressed. "She just lost her child and is already heartbroken. Do you have to say such things at this time? Look at how sarcastic you are. Can't you put yourself in her shoes?"
"I'm sarcastic?" Shen Nianchu suspected that she was hallucinating. She looked at the old lady slowly, her eyes full of disbelief.
"I've never seen you put yourself in my mother's shoes all these years. Why is it that when you say those things in front of my mother, it's just natural, but when I say them in front of Shen Wanqing, it's just sarcastic?"
Shen Nianchu sneered and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I've been around you since I was a child and I thought these were good words."
"You..." The old lady was furious, but couldn't think of anything to refute her. "Do you understand the principle of not airing family disgrace in public? Why do you have to say this in front of Mr. Lu?"
"You understand? I thought you never knew." Shen Nianchu's eyes were full of sarcasm.
At this time, several people from the Yu family hurried over. When they saw Lu Jinzhou, they were all stunned. After greeting him, Mrs. Yu asked Shen Wanqing with a worried look on her wrinkled face, "How is the child?"
Shen Wanqing didn't dare to meet the old lady's eyes, she just kept burying her head and crying.
Seeing this, Old Lady Yu also knew the outcome and pounded the ground with her cane a few times.
"If I had known earlier, I should have insisted on not letting you go to that jewelry dinner. I don't understand you. You're pregnant and you should just stay home peacefully. Why did you have to go to that dinner? Are you happy now?"
Shen Wanqing cried even harder, shaking her head, "It's not like that, it's not that I was careless, it's..."
"What the hell?! How could the child be gone if you didn't go out today?!"
Old Madam Shen hurried over and grabbed Old Madam Yu's hand, "My dear relatives, Wanqing is not to blame for what happened today. Don't scold her. It was my unfilial granddaughter, Shen Nianchu, who pushed Wanqing and caused the miscarriage."
Lu Jinzhou burst out laughing. "Madam Shen's ability to lie is really getting better and better. You dare to frame my people without any evidence?"
