"You dared to poison my child, I will settle this score with you slowly."
"From now on, I will no longer be kind to you."
"Don't even think about dying, or I'll make your whole family pay with their lives."
Su Yujiao broke down emotionally and could no longer pretend. She cursed at him, "Coward! What else can you do besides threaten me with your family?"
"This one method is sufficient."
The man left in a rage, ordering the people outside, "Lock the door. No one is to open it without my permission."
"Lu Ziqian, you blind and stupid bastard, you believe everything she says? Did a donkey kick your brain?"
"You only found out that Xiao Tao brought in a bowl of medicine, why didn't you check what kind of medicine she brought?"
"If you're determined to investigate, I don't believe you can't find out."
"You have never trusted me, so you have assumed it was me without any evidence."
“I, Su Yujiao, swear to heaven that if I really did deliberately harm the child in my womb, then may my whole family suffer a terrible death and go to hell with me.”
"I swear to God that from this day forward I will sever all ties of love and affection. If I break this vow, may I, Su Yujiao, die a horrible death..."
Bang!
He stared at her like a mad beast, his eyes bloodshot, which terrified her so much that she backed away step by step.
The man approached step by step, filling the bedroom with a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Su Yujiao, don't push me, I'm really going crazy!"
Lu Ziqian reached out and pressed down on the back of her slender neck, his head touching hers, his voice low and trembling: "In the future, don't make such vows so casually!"
Seeing that he looked like a mental patient, Su Yujiao instinctively clutched her stomach, not daring to disobey him.
She turned her face away, tears streaming down her face. There were some things she simply couldn't control, like these tears of despair in that instant.
Looking at the beauty's tearful appearance, Lu Ziqian gradually regained his senses and wiped away the glistening tears with his rough fingertips.
"Don't cry, I'll find out the truth."
"I will definitely not wrong you."
Su Yujiao glared at him with red and swollen eyes. How could a person be so shameless, throwing a tantrum whenever he wanted and calming down whenever he wanted?
When she's a kitten or puppy?
They have no dignity, no emotions; they'll hug you when they're happy, but kick you away when they're unhappy!
"Get out!" she said calmly, staring into his eyes.
Lu Ziqian looked at her with cold eyes, but ultimately said nothing.
But he still imprisoned her, keeping the door locked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without his permission.
Su Yujiao slumped onto the bed, reaching out to touch her lower abdomen, which was aching slightly from the intense emotions she had just experienced.
She had considered taking some medication to prevent miscarriage, but then changed her mind.
Lu Ziqian, that beast, doesn't deserve to have children!
Let nature take its course. If the child is truly lost, then it means she and this child were not meant to be.
The woman curled up on the bed, letting her tears go from scalding hot to icy cold, soaking a section of her pillowcase.
Lu Ziqian told Mo Shu to put everything aside and investigate this matter.
That evening, when Mo Shu returned, he saw Xiao Tao standing in front of Su Yujiao's door, crying and cursing. The room was dark and quiet, as if it were dead.
Mo Shu sighed. It seemed that his master really had no chance this time.
He simply couldn't understand why his master, a man of such wisdom and courage, would turn into a fool in front of Chen Yunniang, as if possessed, believing everything she said!
He even suspected that his master might have been bewitched by Chen Yunniang.
Moreover, the master always vents his anger on the young mistress without distinguishing right from wrong, and then shamelessly goes to coax her.
Such things may happen once or twice, but if they happen too often, even the most loving relationship will be exhausted.
Mo Shu pushed open the study door and saw Lu Ziqian sitting alone at the desk, staring blankly at the moonlight outside the window. He seemed to be in a bad mood, and his whole body exuded an aura that kept strangers away.
Hearing someone come in, Lu Ziqian still didn't look up, maintaining his posture of looking out the window.
Mo Shu spoke up first: "Master, you have wronged the young mistress again this time."
"I investigated all the pharmacies Xiao Tao visited today. In addition to buying medicine to prevent miscarriage, Xiao Tao also bought a lot of herbs to treat external injuries and replenish qi and blood."
"This is Shou'an Hall's account book; I have made a copy."
"Besides the money for buying the medicine, this part is the money for making the medicine."
"The doctor at Shou'an Hall said that Xiao Tao gave her a prescription and asked them to make the herbs into convenient pills and powders according to the prescription."
"The doctor said he made some according to the prescription, and the processing method provided by Xiao Tao greatly enhanced the efficacy, making it especially suitable for the battlefield."
"The powder, when applied directly to the wound, has a remarkable effect on stopping the bleeding."
"The pills are easy to take and can save lives in critical moments."
"The doctor even joked, 'Such a precious prescription, you're willing to give it away? Why don't you buy the herbs and make it yourself?'"
"Xiao Tao said that because the young mistress is pregnant, she should not touch too many herbs, for fear of harming the fetus. That's why she paid for the processing fee to have an outside doctor process it for her."
"These are the finished products. I brought some back for you to take a look."
As he spoke, Mo Shu took out several medicine bottles from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
"I have already had Physician Zhou examine them, and they are indeed excellent medicines for treating external injuries. Physician Zhou also said that if they could be mass-produced, it could reduce a large number of casualties."
"It's a pity that the production cost is too high, and the imperial court probably can't afford it."
Mo Shu glanced at Lu Ziqian as she spoke, wanting to see his reaction, but the man seemed stunned, staring intently at the medicine bottle on the table.
Mo Shu could only continue reporting: "Your subordinate has not found any evidence that Xiao Tao purchased the infertility drug, and such a vicious drug cannot be bought in pharmacies at all."
"Therefore, I searched all the brothels and entertainment venues in the capital, but no one dared to sell this medicine, and no one had seen Xiao Tao. However, one brothel did see Xiao He, who was by Miss Chen's side."
Lu Ziqian suddenly looked up, his gaze on Mo Shu was complicated, his feelings were extremely conflicted, he both hoped that he was wrong and did not want to be wrong.
Mo Shu continued, "I questioned the madam of the Red Pavilion in detail. Xiao He did not buy the infertility drug; she wanted to buy medicine to treat her genital disease."
"Xiaohe used to be a prostitute. After being redeemed by Miss Chen, she still maintained those kinds of relationships with some men, and may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease."
At this moment, Lu Ziqian couldn't hear anything Mo Shu said next. He stared intently at the bottles and jars on the table, only feeling Mo Shu's mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't hear any sound.
"Master?" Mo Shu called out when he saw that he was still in a daze.
The man glanced at him blankly, then suddenly stood up and stumbled out.
Mo Shu looked at Lu Ziqian's disheveled figure and sighed helplessly.
Love is a terrible thing; it torments both yourself and others!
He vowed never to get involved in relationships again!
He can't handle the turmoil of love!
