Chapter 9 She was bleeding down there!
Shen Qingci rushed back to the Yongning Marquis's residence. Wanqing was waiting in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Qingci enter: "Miss, you're finally back!"
Shen Qingci nodded: "Nothing happened while I was away, right?"
Wanqing shook her head: "Everything is normal."
Shen Qingci let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good. It's getting late, let's go to sleep early."
"yes."
Shen Qingci and Wan Qing quickly tidied up and rested. Just as they were drifting off to sleep, Shen Qingci suddenly realized that in the darkness, a gaze seemed to be fixed on her.
Someone has come in!
And he was standing right by the bed, staring at her!
Almost immediately, she realized it must be Huo Yunzhan!
Chu Jichen guessed correctly; Huo Yunzhan probably still harbored suspicions about her. That's why he secretly came to check on her!
Shen Qingci pretended not to notice and suddenly began to sob softly.
Huo Yunzhan was startled and quickly hid beside the bed, in a place covered by the bed curtains.
Shen Qingci sobbed for a moment, then murmured as if in a dream, "Yun Zhan! Yun Zhan..."
"Don't go! Don't abandon me and the children!"
As she spoke, she began to sob again: "If you really have to leave, then take me with you!"
After shouting, she sobbed softly twice more before regaining her composure.
It was as if... I had just had a nightmare, a dream about Huo Yunzhan who died in battle...
Huo Yunzhan hid by the bed and waited for a while. When he heard no more noise, he came out again. When he looked at Shen Qingci's outline in the darkness on the bed, his eyes became deep and complicated.
Shen Qingci truly loves him deeply!
What a pity.
It's a pity she was born into the Shen family! It's a pity her parents and her two older brothers were all so stubborn!
But it's okay.
He wouldn't let Shen Qingci know about everything that had happened before.
He would have Shen Qingci bear his child. Then, he would inherit both wives' lineages.
They can still do everything that a husband and wife should do, just like before.
No, it's even better than before. Now, he also has Liu Ruolan and the support of the Prime Minister's mansion.
He became the Marquis of Yongning!
He needs to become better so that he can give Shen Qingci something even better.
Shen Qingci should be able to understand his good intentions, right?
He walked to the bedside, reached out and stroked Shen Qingci's face, then carefully moved his hand down to her lower abdomen.
Perhaps because the baby in her womb is still small, her belly does not seem to have bulged noticeably yet.
I wish Liu Ruolan could get pregnant soon too.
However... the Shen family is still a potential threat.
Why doesn't he find an opportunity to burn the Shen mansion down?
Huo Yunzhan was lost in thought, unaware that Shen Qingci's body on the bed had suddenly stiffened.
After a long while, Huo Yunzhan turned and left.
Shen Qingci let out a long breath, feeling extremely nauseous. She raised her hand and vigorously rubbed the spot where Huo Yunzhan had touched her...
He wouldn't think she was deeply in love with him just because he heard her deliberately faking her sleep talking, would he?
Would he be moved by her sadness and pain, and develop a fatherly heart towards the child in her womb?
Shen Qingci closed her eyes, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart.
In her past life, she was truly... blinded by greed! Reborn, she will avenge her past life! But if the Shen family's affairs are related to Huo Yunzhan or the Huo family, she will make the entire Huo family pay the price!
Because she had been up most of the night, Shen Qingci fell asleep as dawn was breaking.
She was awakened by the sound of voices outside the door.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Wanqing explaining to someone, "When Miss woke up this morning, she heard the sounds of music and drumming coming from the mourning hall. She was overcome with grief and cried uncontrollably. She even fainted from excessive sorrow and hasn't woken up yet!"
“However, this has happened several times since the general passed away. Miss then instructed me not to disturb everyone with such a trivial matter. I checked Miss’s breathing and pulse, and they are fine. She should just be unconscious due to excessive grief.”
Shen Qingci's eyelashes trembled, and she almost laughed. She had just fallen asleep, and Wanqing had gone to great lengths to deal with it for her.
Wanqing was a timid and cowardly person by nature, and she could almost imagine the expression on Wanqing's face when she said those words.
"Okay, but we also need to keep a close eye on your wife's condition. If she doesn't wake up later, we must call a doctor to take a look."
It's Huo Yunzhan.
Immediately afterward, Liu Ruolan's voice rang out: "Sister-in-law is just too heartbroken."
"Now that my second brother has been buried, this matter is over. In a few days, things should be fine. Time... can heal all wounds."
"Okay." Huo Yunzhan nodded. "Then we'll be going now."
After a while, Wanqing entered the room.
Shen Qingci heard her stop at the door and then let out a long breath.
After a while, Wanqing came over. Seeing that Shen Qingci had opened her eyes, she rushed over and said, "Miss, you're finally awake! You have no idea how scared I was when...the Marquis and his wife came."
Shen Qingci laughed: "I heard everything. What are they here for?"
Wanqing pursed her lips: "I just came to tell you, Miss, that fake general has already been buried."
"Shh." Shen Qingci made a shushing gesture: "Walls have ears, so don't talk nonsense. Always remember, the one who will die is Huo Yunzhan."
"It's good that he's buried. This matter is over, and I should be able to have some peace and quiet here."
All she needed to do was carefully plan how to frame Huo Yunzhan or Liu Ruolan for the death of her unborn child, then investigate the Shen family's affairs while taking the opportunity to find a way to leave the Marquis's mansion and successfully marry Chu Jichen after the hundred-day mourning period...
After marrying Chu Jichen, she used Chu Jichen's power to completely crush the Huo family!
Shen Qingci thought that everything had come to an end and she could have some peace and quiet for a while.
Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door that very evening.
Shen Qingci had just fallen asleep when she quickly put her clothes back on and left the bedroom.
The person who arrived was Huo Yunzhan. Huo Yunzhan also appeared to have disheveled hair and clothes, and his eyes were full of panic.
"My lord? What's wrong? What happened?"
Huo Yunzhan's face was somewhat pale: "Ruolan, Ruolan is bleeding! Can you go and take a look at her? I've already sent someone to fetch a female doctor from the city."
Shen Qingci was somewhat bewildered: "Sister-in-law is bleeding? Is she injured? Doesn't the manor have a physician?"
Huo Yunzhan looked embarrassed and stammered, "She...she's bleeding down there. I don't know if it's because I was too rough just now, or if there's some other reason. The physician is a man, so it's not convenient for him."
"I don't know much about women. But I..."
Huo Yunzhan paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully: "But I heard from my second brother that you also had some unexplained spotting in the early stages of your pregnancy. So I'd like to ask you to take a look, to see if... Ruolan's spotting is due to her pregnancy, or something else?"
