"What's all the fuss about?" Xu Dagui, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by Xu Shi and sat on the bed with a displeased look on his face.
"Why do you smell like other women's cosmetics?" Madam Xu asked with displeasure.
"You woke me up for this piece of trash?" Xu Dagui slapped him across the face.
"You'd better shut up." With that, he pinned Xu down.
Lin Shuyan and Madam Xu, who had just fallen asleep, could faintly hear Madam Xu's painful wails again.
Lin Shuyan cursed under her breath for being shameless, then covered her head and ears with the blanket and went to sleep.

At the entrance of the Meng family's residence, Jiang Hua stood at the door with her medicine box and knocked. When she went to Mingdetang earlier, Manager Shen said that Madam Meng had sent someone over early in the morning to inquire, but Madam Meng was still at home at the time and had not yet come over.
Jiang Hua knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it.
"Who are you?" The person who opened the door was a man who looked to be in his forties. Judging from his clothes, he should be the Meng family's butler.
"Jiang Hua from Mingde Hall is here to see Madam Meng," Jiang Hua replied.
"Dr. Jiang? Please come in quickly, our lady has been waiting for a long time." The butler immediately led Jiang Hua inside and then led her to Madam Meng.
"Dr. Jiang, you've finally arrived!" Madam Meng immediately put down her teacup and stepped forward, saying anxiously.
"Madam Meng, is Miss Meng feeling unwell again?" Jiang Hua asked.
Madam Meng dismissed the servants following behind her, leaving only one woman behind.
"Dr. Jiang, I have a favor to ask of you." Madam Meng said softly.
"Madam Meng, please speak frankly. I will naturally not refuse to do what I can." Jiang Hua walked along, waiting for Madam Meng to continue.
“We can’t keep the baby in Xin Xin’s belly,” Madam Meng suddenly said.
Jiang Hua's expression hardened, and she said, "Let's go check on Miss Meng's health first."
Soon, Jiang Hua followed Madam Meng to Meng Xin's courtyard. There were many people guarding the courtyard. When they reached the door, Madam Meng asked the woman behind her to unlock it.
Jiang Hua didn't ask any questions and quietly waited for the door to be unlocked. After the door opened, there was no place to step on the ground; it was a complete mess.
"Have someone clean the house," Madam Meng ordered, her face grim.
"Meng Xin, what happened to the manners I taught you? Is this how you behave?" Madam Meng strode over to Meng Xin, who was lazily leaning against the soft couch, and questioned her.
"Mother, have you agreed to be with Liu Yan?" Meng Xin opened her eyes and got off the soft couch.
"Meng Xin, just give up on that idea. I will never agree to you being with such a useless man," Madam Meng said with a dark face.
"Mother!" Meng Xin was about to say something when she was interrupted.
"Alright, I'll have Doctor Jiang come and examine you today. The child in your womb absolutely cannot be kept," Madam Meng said mercilessly.
"No, I don't want it! This is my child with Liu Yan, I want to give birth to it!" Meng Xin clutched her stomach and moved a few steps away from Madam Meng and Jiang Hua.
“Madam Meng, you are also a woman. You should know that some women find it very difficult to conceive again after a miscarriage,” Jiang Hua reminded her.
“Miss Jiang, I believe in your medical skills. No matter how much money it costs, I will take good care of Xin Xin after the baby is gone, and she will recover.” Madam Meng insisted.
"Mother, Doctor Jiang said that if we don't keep this child, you will never have a grandson to hold. Mother, please don't become a murderer. He is a life too!" Meng Xin said tearfully, looking very pitiful.
"Meng Xin, I think you've lost your mind. Didn't you check up on that man's background before you got together with him?"
Madam Meng never expected that her daughter, whom she had always doted on, would accuse her of being a murderer!
"If that man were responsible and ambitious, wouldn't he turn a blind eye and not do anything?" Madam Meng said coldly.
"Look at the man you found! He spends all his time in brothels, while his old mother at home is bedridden and paralyzed. She has hands and feet, but all she does is live off him!"
"Think about it carefully. How much of the money we usually give you has been given away? Do you think the Meng family's money grows on trees?"
“Mother, can you please stop thinking about money all the time? Brother Yan went to the brothel to do business with others, and he definitely needs money to do business. His mother is also sick, so I should help him. Isn’t that the right thing to do?” Meng Xin retorted.
"Mother, don't you also tell me to do good deeds and help others more?"
“I asked you to help people, not just any scoundrel. You need to know that you can’t make a living off someone who’s already fallen from grace. Besides, you’ve gone too far and gotten yourself into trouble.” Madam Meng felt a slight headache.
“Mother, I won’t allow you to talk about Brother Ayan. You haven’t met him yet. Once you have, you’ll definitely treat him differently.” Meng Xin still insisted on her own idea.
"You, you're going to drive me crazy!" Madam Meng clutched her chest, looking at her disappointing daughter.
“Madam Meng, please sit down first. Let me take Miss Meng’s pulse,” Jiang Hua said to Madam Meng.
Seeing that Jiang Hua had said so, Meng Xin sat down for the sake of the baby in her womb and obediently took her pulse.
"Did you get better after using that medicine?" Jiang Hua asked.
"Dr. Jiang, you are really amazing! I'm cured after using it a few times," Meng Xin exclaimed.
"Dr. Jiang, please take a look at me, how is the baby in my belly?"
"good."
After telling Meng Xin about the baby in her belly, she was captivated as she stroked her flat stomach.
"How did Miss Meng and Mr. Liu meet?" Jiang Hua asked casually while wiping her hands with a handkerchief.
"Dr. Jiang, do you really want to hear this?" Meng Xin touched her belly and glanced at Jiang Hua warily, afraid that she might harm the child in her womb.
"Ms. Meng, rest assured, I will respect the patient's wishes and will not act recklessly without their consent," Jiang Hua said calmly.
"Dr. Jiang!" Upon hearing this, Madam Meng quickly looked at Jiang Hua. She had asked Jiang Hua to come and help, so why was she now siding with Meng Xin?
"Mother, look, even Doctor Jiang couldn't bring himself to do it, how could you be so heartless?" Seeing that someone was supporting her, Meng Xin quickly said to her mother.
"You!" Madam Meng turned her eyes away, no longer looking at her.
"Dr. Jiang, Brother Ayan is my savior." Meng Xin blushed as if recalling something wonderful.
Seeing Meng Xin's shameless appearance, Madam Meng was speechless.
