"You brat, you have no manners at all! How can you say your man is handsome? Do you think you're a bandit? You've learned all that bandit stuff, you're just like a boy. Only your mother-in-law doesn't mind. If you married into another family, you'd be in big trouble!"
Xu Chunxia pointed her index finger at Wang Jingshui's forehead and cursed.
"Haha, Jing Shui likes handsome young men so much. Luckily, Chang Lu is good-looking, otherwise Jing Shui wouldn't even look at him, right? Mother should be glad that Chang Lu wasn't too ugly, otherwise Mother wouldn't have gotten such a good daughter-in-law like you. No, when we go home later, Mother has to buy Chang Lu a jar of face cream so he can apply it every day, lest his handsome face becomes ugly and you don't like him anymore, what should we do then?"
Yan Xia teased Wang Jingshui.
My stomach hurts from laughing.
“Okay, buy two more cans. My husband got quite tanned this summer, we need to get him back to his fair complexion quickly.” To everyone’s surprise, Wang Jingshui actually took it seriously.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and buy more." Yan Xia shook her head helplessly as she looked at Wang Jingshui's serious expression.
This girl is probably a Libra.
They're just obsessed with looks.
Seeing her daughter's infatuated expression, Xu Chunxia sighed repeatedly.
The brother and sister grew up together, yet their personalities are worlds apart.
The meal ended pleasantly thanks to Wang Jingshui's antics.
The three younger family members washed the dishes and tidied the table together, while Yan Xia sat and chatted with Xu Chunxia in the yard.
After Wang Jingshui dried her hands and came out of the kitchen, Yan Xia took her away.
The two did not ride in a carriage.
I'm going to walk back.
Walking from the end of the city wall to the top was quite a distance, but I was so full from lunch that it was just a walk for food.
Wang Yuanshan offered to drive them there.
Yan Xia didn't allow it.
Along the way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law strolled around and played, enjoying themselves very leisurely.
The weather is at its most comfortable time of year right now. Wearing light clothing, a gentle breeze blows through the fabric, making you feel incredibly refreshed.
Just as the two were about to reach the shop, Wang Jingshui suddenly pointed ahead and said to Yan Xia, "Mother, that looks like Brother Zuo."
Yan Xia looked closely.
That really is Zuo Li.
He was seen leading a dozen or so constables, escorting several fierce-looking men, toward the county government office.
"What's wrong?" Yan Xia asked him as she approached.
Yan Xia was a little gossipy, noticing that Zuo Li looked so unwell in a long time.
“These people are arbitrarily beating up civilians and harming others. I’m going to arrest them and take them back for a thorough interrogation.” Upon hearing this, Yan Xia looked behind Zuo Li.
There were more than a dozen officials, each holding a person whose hands were tied.
The man at the head of the group looked very familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. At the end of the line was a woman with her head down, her face obscured, but she was heavily pregnant, probably six or seven months along. She was the only one whose hands were not bound.
"Aunt Yan, I have to go now. We can chat another day." Zuo Li didn't linger and said goodbye.
The officers escorted the prisoner and followed him away.
"Mother, that person looks like the one who grabbed Bai Ruixue at the entrance of the gambling den earlier," Wang Jingshui whispered a reminder.
Yan Xia then remembered. "Yes, it really is him. I was so focused on talking to Bai Ruixue this morning that I only glanced at him and didn't remember him. No wonder Mother thought he looked familiar."
“Mother, they’ve been arrested, and Bai Ruixue…” Wang Jingshui paused halfway through her sentence.
She saw two officials helping Bai Ruixue into a clinic, and Bai Ruixue was covered in blood.
The light-colored clothes made the bloodstains stand out even more, which was somewhat frightening.
Bai Ruixue's face was contorted in pain, and she was still wailing incessantly. Wang Jingshui bit her lip, feeling somewhat frightened.
"Don't look at her anymore, she'll scare you. Let's go, let's go to the shop and take a look. You can go to the restaurant and give Changlu the cream we just bought so he can apply it." Wang Jingshui could see it, and Yan Xia naturally saw it too. She glanced at it, then looked away and pulled her daughter-in-law away. She had said she wouldn't care about Bai Ruixue, and she would never care about her again.
The two were still chatting and laughing when they left.
Inside the clinic, Bai Ruixue screamed in pain.
"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts so much—"
"Help me, doctor! My stomach hurts so much!"
She lay on the wooden bed, clutching her stomach, unable to move.
Blood was still seeping out from beneath him.
Two officers stood outside the curtain, waiting to avoid suspicion.
"Oh dear, the baby is definitely not going to survive. Even though you are three months pregnant, you can't have sex so intensely! Let me prescribe some medicine for you to drink and expel the stillborn baby as soon as possible, otherwise you will be in danger."
The doctor withdrew his hand from taking the pulse.
He shook his head repeatedly, sighing.
Bai Ruixue was so ashamed and indignant after hearing the doctor's blunt words that she wished she could dig a cellar and hide, but the pain in her body prevented her from doing anything.
After returning to the casino with Shen Jiading in the morning.
Bai Ruixue gave in to him.
It's just that Shen Jiading is playing wildly.
Bai Ruixue was so frightened in the morning that she started bleeding shortly afterward. It wasn't serious at the time, with only a drop or two of blood, and she immediately begged for mercy.
But Chen Jiading became even more excited after seeing blood.
This is why Bai Ruixue bled so much and was in so much pain.
Just then, Zuo Li arrived and saved her life.
Otherwise, Bai Ruixue would probably be played to death.
After arresting Shen Jiading and the gambling den's henchmen, Zuo Li sent two officers to bring her to the clinic for treatment.
"Please hurry up and prescribe the medicine. We can't let anything happen to her." After all, she was a woman who had been persecuted by the gambling den owner. On the day of the court hearing, she would be considered one of the witnesses. The officials were very afraid that she would die from the pain.
The doctor felt a little nervous when he saw the two officials standing there like door gods on either side of him, and he quickly agreed.
Because Bai Ruixue had lost too much blood, she could only take the coldest and most harmful medicine, which she had to decoct quickly.
Because she was too far along in her pregnancy, the doctor worried she wouldn't be able to give birth, so he added several abortifacients to the prescription. Taking these medications had a significant impact on her health.
But there was no other way to save their lives.
The doctors in Shuangqiao Town are not as skilled as those in Jiangnan County or the Imperial City.
They start with strong remedies.
After taking the medicine, the doctor used silver needles to prick Bai Ruixue, temporarily stopping the bleeding.
"Doctor, am I alright? Will it affect my ability to have children?" Whether it was psychological or the medicine was working, Bai Ruixue was still in a lot of pain, but her thoughts were returning, and she began to worry about her health.
"There's definitely a chance. After the serious injury and the cold medicine, it's unlikely you'll have children for at least five years. Even if you do, you're prone to miscarriage. But don't worry, take good care of yourself, and maybe you'll be able to get pregnant again in five years." The doctor didn't dare to tell the truth.
In fact, even five years is uncertain.
"Five years?" Bai Ruixue was somewhat lost in thought.
She must be out of her mind; why did she give in to Shen Jiading?
Now it's all right.
Shen Jiading was taken away by the officials, and her child was also lost.
Although she never intended to keep the child.
But harming her body would be the biggest loss.
Bai Ruixue regretted it.
She wanted to go home.
