Chapter 334 The Bride Miscarried
Lady Cai saw through him and said sternly, "You surnamed Li, don't even think about driving me away today. If you push me too far, I'll go to the Emperor and file a complaint against you!"
Lord Li's eyes turned cold, and he hardened his heart. "Guards! This woman is spouting nonsense and slandering an official of the court. Seize her!"
As he spoke, his teeth chattered, and he wished he could tear his wife of several years into pieces.
Cai's eyes immediately reddened.
Master Fan stood up and interrupted, "Lord Li, don't be hasty. What this woman said may not be a lie. Why don't you investigate her thoroughly? If she is really your wife, then your marriage with Miss Wei is off. If not, then punish this woman properly."
Lord Li didn't dare to investigate at all. "Lord Fan, do you also believe her words? She's a fake, she's not my wife at all."
Hearing him say that, Cai was furious and blurted out, "You, surnamed Li, you say I'm not your wife? Then look at your own buttocks. You were gored by a cow in the village, and you still have two scars."
Master Fan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Lord Li, is what she said true?"
Lord Li quickly shook his head and said, "No, what she said is false."
At this moment, when no one was paying attention, Cai bent down and secretly stepped forward, grabbed Lord Li's trousers, and then lifted his outer robe.
"You! What are you doing?!" Lord Li was so frightened that he quickly pulled open his clothes and scolded Cai.
Although it was only for a moment, the scar on his buttocks was still seen by the person who looked down.
"Oh, what this lady says is quite true. It seems that what she said is true."
"Yes, anyone who knows such private matters must have very important connections."
They all nodded, convinced of Cai's words.
Today was supposed to be Lord Li's joyous day, but now this farce has been turned into a laughing stock, leaving Miss Wei utterly ashamed.
She picked up the food on the table and threw it at Lord Li, yelling, "You heartless wretch! I'm going to tell my godfather!"
Her godfather was Prince Rong, but she was his adopted daughter.
Prince Rong is late today because of matters at court; he is probably on his way now.
After scolding Lord Li, Miss Wei turned to leave.
"Wife, wait! Wife!"
Lord Li stepped forward to pull her up.
Miss Wei pulled, and the foot wearing red embroidered shoes accidentally twisted, causing her to fall down.
"ah!"
Everyone was startled.
"Oh dear, Miss Wei has fallen."
Miss Wei lay on the ground, clutching her stomach, crying out in pain, "Ah, my stomach... my stomach..."
Not long after, a pool of blood appeared beneath her.
Everyone was shocked to see the blood on the ground.
Lord Li stared wide-eyed at the red blood, frozen in place.
A guest nearby hurriedly said, "Quick, go and fetch a doctor."
Lord Li then came to his senses, immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor, and then strode over, picked up Miss Wei, and carried her to the backyard.
As he walked through the crowd, someone whispered, "Judging from Miss Wei's appearance, she must be pregnant?"
"Pregnant before marriage? Miss Wei is really bold."
"Yes, this is outrageous!"
When Lord Li heard this, his face gradually turned green.
The doctor arrived shortly afterward.
The guests didn't leave; they all waited in the courtyard. They were there to attend the wedding and wouldn't leave until they were sure the bride was alright.
Du Wanchun and Han Yan'er stood aside watching the show.
Madam Cai followed Master Fan, also waiting to see what was happening inside.
Not long after, the doctor inside said, "Sir, the lady's baby is gone..."
"Child? What child?" Lord Li froze on the spot. He had just been preparing to marry her today, and they didn't even have a proper house yet, so where would a child come from?
The doctor, unaware of the situation, bluntly stated, "The lady was over two months pregnant, but she just experienced a miscarriage; the baby is gone..."
Lord Li turned his head to look at Miss Wei on the bed. His face grew paler and paler. He was so angry that he grabbed her and pulled her up. "What's going on? How could you be pregnant before you married me?"
