Chapter 119 Cuilan's Miscarriage
"Explain? My son is gone! He was murdered! How can I explain?" Cuilan's face was ferocious, her eyes wide open, she wished she could stare a hole through Su Chuan, "You better be innocent, otherwise I will make your whole family pay with your lives!"
Su Chuan didn't continue to tangle with her. He went out and ran into Qiu Ju who came to visit him. He clasped his fists and bowed to her, "Miss Qiu Ju."
"I've heard about everything, but unfortunately I can't help you. How is Cuilan?" Qiuju looked concerned.
Su Chuan shook his head and sighed, feeling very sorry, "She feels bad that her child is gone. I want to see the doctor and ask about the situation."
Qiu Ju nodded to show her understanding, "The doctor hasn't left yet, I'll take you there."
The two came to the doctor's resting room.
Su Chuan introduced himself.
The doctor sighed, "I have examined the woman. She probably had a miscarriage because she ate something inappropriate. She said she had a bowl of bird's nest porridge this morning, and some snacks before noon. At noon, she had nourishing chicken soup, which was no different from usual. Because she had eaten everything, I couldn't see the remaining food, so I couldn't judge.
Another point is that the fetus is quite old. If it is aborted now, it will cause great harm to the adults. I had to use strong medicine to save the woman's life. I am afraid it will be difficult for her to have children in the future."
He didn't want to say so much, but he couldn't hide it from the patient's husband.
Su Chuan pretended to be grief-stricken, thanked the doctor again and again, paid the money and sent the doctor away, then immediately went to the kitchen to hold him accountable.
Seeing Su Chuan being so persistent, the cook also got angry. "I understand that you lost your son, but you can't wrongly accuse someone for no reason. I have no grudge against your wife, why would you harm her? What good will this do me?"
Su Chuan couldn't tell anyone about those shameful things, so he could only leave the house and rush to Wanfo Temple in frustration.
Just then, they met the Bai Mansion's troops returning halfway.
The coachman reported to Master Bai and his wife in the carriage, "Master, Madam, Su Chuan is here and has something urgent to report."
Zhu frowned subconsciously but said nothing.
Young Master Bai lifted the curtain and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Su Chuan stepped forward and reported nervously, "Master, it's bad. Cuilan has miscarried."
"What?" Young Master Bai's expression changed visibly and he glared at Su Chuan fiercely.
Su Chuan explained, "She was fine when I left home this morning. After noon, someone from the mansion came out to look for me, saying that Cuilan had miscarried. I rushed back to the mansion, and the doctor was there, so I asked about the situation. The doctor said that Cuilan had eaten something wrong, but Cuilan said that she ate the same as usual.
I went to find the cook, but she started arguing with me, saying that I was just taking advantage of others and that I was useless. I couldn't investigate further, so I had to come to the eldest master."
"Useless trash!" Young Master Bai cursed angrily and slammed the car curtain.
Zhu, who was beside him, wanted to get angry when she heard Cuilan had a miscarriage, but her reaction was not as quick as that of Young Master Bai. Now that she saw with her own eyes that her husband cared so much about Cuilan, no matter how stupid she was, she could tell that something was wrong.
Fortunately, she was smart and did not question him on the spot. She just kept the matter in her heart. As a result, Su Chuan escaped the disaster by accident.
Everyone returned to the mansion.
The furious Mrs. Bai really ordered a thorough investigation into Cuilan's miscarriage.
Zhu had some doubts to begin with, and now seeing her husband and mother-in-law making such a fuss for her dowry maid, she was not happy at all, but instead felt inexplicably angry.
While Master Bai was going to the main courtyard, she followed him secretly, and asked the maids and servants around her to send Nanny Li and the others away, while she hid under the window sill and eavesdropped.
"Mom, was it those three despicable creatures from the Su family who did it?" Young Master Bai gritted his teeth. Zhu could hear his anger without even looking.
Mrs. Bai sighed and shook her head tiredly, "It shouldn't be. I've already warned Su Chunsen's family. Ever since the incident in the spring, she doesn't dare to act like a mother-in-law in front of Cuilan. Cuilan is not stupid either. She never lets them touch her food or things.
Today, Su Chunsen and his wife left the house early, and Su Chuan left only with your consent. There were not many people left in the house today, and they were all servants on duty everywhere, unless Su Chunsen's family bribed those servants.
So just now I asked Nanny Li to question all the possible people, and none of them were suspects!
In the end, Cuilan is just too stupid! She is still not quiet even when she is pregnant, causing trouble everywhere. She is not popular in the mansion. Now I have investigated and the people below are still angry, saying that I don't know how to judge people!"
"How dare you! They are just a bunch of lowly things, yet they are not worthy of talking about their master? You should beat them to death and sell them!" Young Master Bai smashed the cups in anger.
Mrs. Bai frowned unhappily. "You may be angry, but why are you getting so angry at me? It's a pity that the child is gone, but there is still a long way to go, and there are many women who can give birth.
In fact, I was not optimistic about Cuilan's child. When the child is born, there will be a lot of trouble. It will also give that bitch an excuse to be arrogant! Now that she has lost the child, she can't make a fuss. You just need to coax her. From now on, just pretend that what happened between you and Cuilan never happened. Mother will find you a beautiful and caring person to serve you."
It would be easy if her son fell in love with a girl born in the mansion. She could just as well send that girl to Qiufeng Courtyard. But her son fell in love with the maid who came with his daughter-in-law's dowry. Even if she did that, she couldn't make the decision without the permission of her daughter-in-law.
And his daughter-in-law is an intolerant person. It would be embarrassing to be rejected by her. Cuilan's existence would easily destroy the relationship between his son and daughter-in-law.
It was for this reason that she did not let her son adopt Cuilan, but instead introduced Cuilan to Su Chuan. She never expected that Cuilan would still be restless after getting married, and even hooked up with her son and got pregnant.
Although it is a pity that the child is gone now, she is more relieved.
Young Master Bai stood up angrily and said, "Mother, you know Zhu's temper. You pointed Su Yu to me before because Su Yu is a family-born child and Su Chuan is my close follower. Even if Zhu didn't like it, she couldn't refuse openly.
But it didn't work out that time, and there are no good-looking maids in the mansion. If you send another girl to your son, she can only be a girl from outside. Zhu will definitely make a big fuss and may even hold a grudge against you.
Originally, I thought that if Cuilan gave birth to a son, even if the child's identity could not be made public, it would be my blood. Even if Zhu did not agree with me taking a concubine, it didn't matter. I could wait until she became pregnant and gave birth to a child.
Now Su Yu has given birth to a son, but there is no movement in her belly, and Cui Lan's child is not safe, so aren't you worried?"
Madam Bai coaxed her in a gentle voice, "How can I not be anxious? Look at those illegitimate sons who were separated after marriage. They all have children. I feel even more upset!
But what can we do? The Zhu family is more powerful than our Bai family, and the relationship between the two families is complicated. You have to rely on your eldest uncle, so can you turn against the Zhu family?
Son, listen to your mother. A little impatience can ruin a big plan! Cuilan is not worth your anger. Your mother will investigate this matter thoroughly. If she finds out, she will be severely punished. If she doesn't find out, don't take it too seriously. It will be bad if Zhu finds out. "
