Seeing that Chen was bleeding, the Song siblings were all dumbfounded. Lin Yaoyao didn't dare to move rashly, but Shen Zhiyi looked anxious.
Apart from Song Maozhang and his youngest son Song Shaohuai, everyone in the Song family seemed to have something on their mind.
No,
That can't be right.
The old lady felt her vision go black.
He glanced at Chen Zhiyi almost subconsciously.
I feel like there's an invisible hand manipulating everything that's happening today.
Securely!
They seized control of the entire Marquis's mansion.
This person,
They want to bring the entire Marquis's mansion to utter ruin!
"Mother, what happened to you?" Shen Zhiyi rushed forward to support Chen Shi. "Imperial physicians, what are you all standing there for? Quickly check on my mother-in-law. Why is she bleeding all of a sudden?"
Several imperial physicians were about to step forward when Madam Chen was greatly alarmed.
She has three children, and had one miscarriage, so she is naturally aware of her physical condition.
This is……
I miscarried!
When Shen Zhiyi helped her up, her legs were so weak that she could barely stand. In the transition from spring to summer, she felt a chill surging over her like a tide.
The bone-chilling cold almost overwhelmed her.
Even breathing was difficult.
Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to help her sit down, Chen said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine, I don't need to see the imperial physician."
"Mother?" Shen Zhiyi frowned. "Are you bleeding?"
"No, don't worry about me, I'm fine..." Her face was completely pale, her lips were trembling, and she was speaking haltingly, looking guilty and flustered.
Even a fool could see that she was hiding a secret.
"But you've been bleeding!" Shen Zhiyi gestured for the imperial physician to come over quickly.
"I told you, I'm fine, I don't need to see the imperial physician!" Chen seemed to have been pushed to the limit, and actually pushed Shen Zhiyi away. "What are you pretending to be, I don't need your fake concern!"
"I...I'm faking it?" Shen Zhiyi smiled bitterly. "I've always believed that it was because of me that Song Yuxiu died childless, so for the past two years since we got married, I've been trying my best to make up for it."
"Using her dowry to supplement the family income;"
"When Ruoying reached marriageable age, to give her face, her food, clothing, and daily necessities were all arranged according to the standards of noble ladies in the capital;"
"If it weren't for me, would Shao Huai have been able to enter the royal private school? Don't you know what kind of person your youngest son is?"
...
Song Shaohuai, who hadn't said a word, was suddenly shot and his face turned pale.
However, he was not naturally suited for studying.
His family arranged for Shen Zhiyi to attend the royal private school, not for the purpose of studying for the imperial examinations.
Instead, it was to let him get in touch with more children of powerful and wealthy people, expand his network, and then stick close to them so that while they get the lion's share, he'll always have some soup to drink.
"Shen Zhiyi, what do you mean by this? Are you bringing up old grievances? We're all family, is it necessary to be so petty?" Chen's lower abdomen felt bloated.
When she was emotionally agitated, she could feel blood slowly flowing down her leg.
She had to leave as soon as possible, and gestured for Cui Lan to help her to the inner room, but Shen Zhiyi blocked her way.
"Mother, all these years you've always had people send me all sorts of bitter medicines every day because I can't have children. Now that you're bleeding, I'm just concerned about you, but you accuse me of being petty and having ulterior motives?"
"Anyway, get out of my way!"
When Chen was in unbearable pain and tried to push Shen Zhiyi away, the Empress Dowager finally couldn't hold back!
He suddenly raised his hand, slamming the teacup down on the table, splashing tea everywhere!
The once noisy hall instantly fell silent.
"Imperial Physician! Examine the wife of the Marquis of Xuanhua!" The Empress Dowager said with a gloomy face.
When the Empress Dowager spoke, Chen felt a chill run down her spine. "Your Majesty, I am indeed perfectly healthy and need not trouble the imperial physicians."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress Dowager gave her a light, sweeping look, which frightened her into silence.
Cui Lan helped her sit down. Chen's legs were trembling and weak. When she stretched out her hand for the imperial physician to take her pulse, her hand was shaking.
"Madam, don't be nervous or afraid. With so many imperial physicians here, we are sure to keep you safe and sound." The imperial physician thought she was too scared.
Song Maozhang had already reached his wife's side.
The imperial physician's expression instantly turned complicated upon taking her pulse. He hurriedly rose and reported to the Empress Dowager: "Your Majesty, the Lady of the Marquis is pregnant!"
Is it a pregnancy pulse?
The guests all stared at Madam Chen, saying, "We didn't expect that the Marquis would be so vigorous at his age."
"It seems the Marquis of Xuanhua's household is preparing to have another child."
“Song Yuxiu is an adult without heirs, and Song Shaohuai is a reckless and unruly man, so it’s good to raise another one.”
...
There was a great deal of discussion, mostly from people watching the spectacle. Some of the bolder ones even said to Song Maozhang, "Congratulations!"
But Song Maozhang's face looked unusually grim.
Because only he knew:
After returning to Beijing from the south, he slept in the same bed with his wife, but they did not consummate their marriage.
How could a child just appear out of nowhere!
His wife...
She cheated on him!
They even stole a child.
Song Maozhang's gaze toward his wife was filled with resentment and hatred, completely devoid of the joy of becoming a father. Chen Shi lowered her head, feeling her husband's gaze fixed on her.
Feeling like a thorn in my side!
It made her feel as if she were in a fire, being burned and roasted, her whole body covered in sweat.
"A pregnancy pulse?" Shen Zhiyi frowned. "Imperial Physician, Mother is bleeding. What's going on?"
"Lady Hou is over a month pregnant. It's probably due to excessive emotional distress. We'll administer acupuncture immediately, and we're sure we can save the baby," the imperial physician said.
Pregnant……
More than a month?
After these words were spoken, Song Maozhang's face turned completely black. Because many court officials and colleagues had come to the Marquis's residence for the banquet today, someone naturally said, "How come I remember that the Marquis has only been back in the capital for half a month?"
