"Hahaha...that was because you forced me to."
"What's wrong with wanting to live!"
Whether you go or not, if I want to harm myself, I can do so even without the tools.
"Unless you imprison me, but do you dare? I am now a saint!"
Lu Ziqian was filled with murderous intent, and at the same time, his determination to destroy the Southern Frontier Kingdom became even stronger.
If we imprison her, everything will be back on track.
Chen Yunniang watched Lu Ziqian's furious departure, then lay exhausted on the bed, clutching her slightly aching lower abdomen with both hands.
"Child, you must be strong."
"Your mother has offended many people because of you."
Lu Ziqian broke into Su Yujiao's tent in the middle of the night. She was bandaging a wound that had inexplicably appeared on her palm.
The man looked at the wound on her palm, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
Su Yujiao turned around and saw him staring at her wound. She coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing her cold expression, Lu Ziqian didn't try to persuade her with kind words. He knew in his heart that even if he knelt down, she wouldn't agree to what he was about to say.
It would be better to be more assertive and resolve this quickly. If we continue to delay, who knows what that madwoman Chen Yunniang might do next.
"Yunniang is showing signs of miscarriage. Go and help her prevent miscarriage."
"What did you say?" Su Yujiao's eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
Why should the legal wife be sent to help the mistress with her pregnancy?
Su Yujiao grabbed a teacup and threw it at Lu Ziqian's face. Even with her good upbringing and manners, she couldn't control her emotions at this moment.
"Lu Ziqian, do you even listen to human language?"
"Do you really have to treat me like this?"
"You want me to go and help Chen Yunniang with her pregnancy?"
Do you think I'm easy to bully?
"Aren't you afraid I'll poison her with a bowl of poison?"
"You dare!" The man's heart skipped a beat. He only thought that if Chen Yunniang died, she would die too, so he blurted out in a moment of panic.
However, he overlooked his own concerned and anxious attitude, and this caring expression was so irritating to Su Yujiao.
"Ha, try it if you don't believe me!"
The man frowned, angrily kicking over the stool beside him. How did things turn out this way?
That damned Chen Yunniang! Every time she appears, she turns his life upside down!
Seeing his angry and embarrassed expression, Su Yujiao also lost her temper: "Why are you taking your anger out on this stool? If you have the guts, then kill me."
"You want me to protect that bitch Chen Yunniang's pregnancy? I'll only do it if I die!"
Lu Ziqian pinched his brow in annoyance: "Can you please stop making a mountain out of a molehill?"
"It's just asking you to help her with her pregnancy, why are you making such a fuss?"
"This is absolutely incomprehensible!"
"If you can save Mo Hua, why can't you save Chen Yunniang's pregnancy?"
"Am I unreasonable?" Su Yu trembled with rage.
"You have to make such a big fuss over such a small thing."
"My patience is limited, you'd better not cause trouble, otherwise..."
The woman's eyes were red and swollen as she glared at him: "Or what do you want?"
"Otherwise, I'll have your three children adopted by Yunniang, so you'll know the consequences of having no offspring and disrespecting your husband."
"I mean what I say!"
"Lu Ziqian, you bastard!" Su Yu said hysterically, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at him.
Lu Ziqian approached and took her hand, trying to bandage it for her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake him off.
"Get away from me, don't touch me."
The man continued to forcefully apply medicine to her wound: "When will you ever be obedient and sensible?"
Why do you always have to make a big deal out of small things?
"Can't you be like other women, submissive, gentle, and obedient?"
“If I just tell you what to do, it doesn’t always have to come to this point.”
Su Yujiao bit her lip tightly, her grief beyond words, and she could no longer cry.
His body was like a soulless shell, allowing him to bandage it as he pleased.
Mo Hua is right; there's always a way in this world to make women listen to men.
With a single sentence from him that he would take her child, he could shatter all her resistance and courage, leaving her utterly powerless.
After bandaging her up, Lu Ziqian looked at the woman's pale face and finally softened his tone: "As long as you obey me, I won't take your child away."
"Just treat her like an ordinary patient, or even like a cat or dog."
"In the end, you are kind-hearted and cannot stand by and watch someone die."
Su Yujiao nodded, like a puppet on a string, letting him lead her into Chen Yunniang's tent.
Looking at Su Yujiao's red and swollen eyes, Chen Yunniang curled her lips into a sarcastic smile: "Jiaojiao, what happened to your eyes? Were you crying just now?"
She heard everything clearly—the two of them arguing and throwing things around, making such a commotion—but she deliberately asked a question she already knew the answer to.
"Did Ziqian bully you?"
"Don't take it to heart, I'll talk to him on his behalf."
Su Yujiao found it ironic that Chen Yunniang was acting like a mistress, ready to reprimand her husband on her behalf.
"Ziqian, Jiaojiao is my sister, you can't bully her."
"Although she is a bit spoiled, it's not a big deal. Just coax her a bit and don't really hold a grudge against her."
Seeing the warning and murderous intent in Lu Ziqian's eyes, Chen Yunniang dared not say anything more and wisely shut her mouth.
"Jiaojiao, come quickly and help me. My stomach keeps cramping, and I just started bleeding. You have to help me keep this baby."
"This is Ziqian's first child, so you must take it seriously, otherwise you'll be known as a jealous person."
"Oh no, Ziqian already has three children, but none of them are his biological children."
"The one in my belly is his biological child."
As if suddenly realizing she had said something wrong, Chen Yunniang covered her mouth and said, "Don't look at me like that. We're all family now. There's no need to hide things. I know everything, so stop pretending."
Su Yujiao sneered. If she had really lost her child, she would have gone crazy upon hearing these words.
Chen Yunniang is really something; every word she says is as sharp and venomous as a poison needle, all in an attempt to disgust her.
Lu Ziqian couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he stepped forward and pressed Chen Yunniang's acupoint to silence her, preventing her from speaking again.
Chen Yunniang glared at him angrily, but had no choice but to give up.
"Go and treat her."
Su Yujiao stepped forward to take her pulse, then prescribed some herbal decoctions, instructing her to burn moxa daily and stay in bed to protect the pregnancy.
Lu Ziqian released Chen Yunniang's speech-impairing pressure point and prepared to leave with Su Yujiao.
"Jiaojiao, you stay."
"From now on, you will live in my room and take good care of my pregnancy. I can only feel at ease with you here."
Su Yujiao looked up at Lu Ziqian, then asked demurely, "What does my husband think?"
Lu Ziqian didn't speak, but just looked at her suddenly dimmed eyes and obedient, submissive expression, and how her once vibrant and bright expression had turned as lifeless as before.
The man became inexplicably irritable. He knew that the relationship between them, which had finally improved, had returned to the worst period a year ago.
Even worse!
"You stay!"
