Chapter 55: The Stillness of Night

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

The lights in the Qin family's main house were still on.

Song Jin didn't wait for Qin Chi to return to the room.

Song Jin walked to the door with light footsteps and looked outside through a crack. When he saw two figures outside, his hand, which was about to open the door, stopped.

Outside the door were Qin Chi and Doctor Jing.

The two spoke in low voices, and Song Jin couldn't hear clearly, but she could see clearly the humble attitude of Doctor Jing in front of Qin Chi.

At this moment, Qin Chi was like a towering mountain, standing tall and unshakable, and seemed to contain endless power, which was awe-inspiring. His usually gentle eyes seemed to hide a different depth, as if they could see into people's hearts.

And he always has a smile on his face, so calm and confident...

Some details cannot be thought about carefully or withstand serious scrutiny.

Song Jin guessed that Qin Chi had a secret, but this secret seemed to be far beyond her imagination, making her think of the abnormality when she first met Qin Chi.

Not only Song Jin didn't trust Qin Chi.

Qin Chi also never trusted her.

Song Jin once again clearly realized that although she and Qin Chi were husband and wife, they were actually just living together, guarding against each other, and not very close to each other. Originally, she wanted to ask him what the gap between him and Qin Mingsong was, but now she thought it was inappropriate.

It is indeed an act of transcendence.

Song Jin slowly let go of the hand that was pulling the door.

Back to bed.

I don't plan to bother with anything more, just take a rest first.

Song Jin was half asleep when she noticed someone lying down next to her. The familiar feeling made her feel at ease and she went back to sleep.

Some people couldn't sleep that night.

Like Song Dynasty embroidery.

Upon learning that Song Jin was pregnant, Song Xiu was almost going crazy with jealousy.

He pestered Qin Mingsong all night long.

Just as Qin Chi had guessed at the beginning, if an exception is made once, there will be countless exceptions.

Qin Mingsong half-heartedly agreed to join in the fun for half the night.

However, Song Xiu was not allowed to scream during the whole process. Sometimes, when Song Xiu got carried away, Qin Mingsong would cover her mouth. It was really because she lost face last time that the impression was too deep in his mind.

At this time, Qin Mingsong didn't know yet.

The Qin family did not eavesdrop.

The two secret guards who came with Doctor Jing heard the whole thing.

As for what the secret guards knew, Qin Chi naturally knew it too. But Qin Chi didn't have the heart to think about others right now, and was staring at Song Jin who was sleeping soundly.

How bold is this?

In fact, there is another reason, but Qin Chi subconsciously does not want to admit it.

So, the next morning.

The Qin family was concerned about Li's condition and were relieved to learn that the problem was not serious. However, before they could relax for long, Qin Chi fell ill again!

It was first discovered by Song Jin.

The patient was not only unconscious but also had a high fever.

Song Jin was so scared that he hurried out to find Doctor Jing.

Doctor Jing slept with Erlang and Sanlang last night and went to bed very late at night, so he got up a little late.

When he was called up, he heard that Qin Chi was sick!

Doctor Jing panicked, and quickly stood up and walked over there while getting dressed, asking, "What's going on? What's the problem?"

"My forehead is hot, I'm sweating a lot, and my face looks pale. I can't wake myself up..."

Song Jin didn't know if this was a sign of Qin Chi's illness.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of other people in the Qin family, especially Song Jin who was now pregnant. Her panicked look showed that it was no small matter.

"Dalang's wife, what's wrong?"

Little Liu asked, "You can't make a fuss when you just got pregnant."

Song Jin was about to follow Doctor Jing into the house.

Doctor Jing suddenly stopped.

The old man turned around to look at Song Jin and blocked her way, "Are you pregnant?"

Song Jin nodded.

Doctor Jing then waved his hand at her and said, "Then don't come in. Pregnant women should be careful to avoid getting sick."

These words stopped Song Jin in his tracks.

Qin Laosan came over and asked, "What happened?"

"My husband is not feeling well, so I asked Doctor Jing to take a look, but he told me not to follow him into the room." Song Jin said truthfully.

Xiao Liu and others also knew that Qin Chi was sick.

"This is strange. In previous years, Dalang mostly fell ill in spring and winter. It's only early autumn now, how come he fell ill?" Little Liu muttered suspiciously.

Others have the same idea.

Song Jin didn't seem surprised by other people's behavior.

Their attitudes were similar to Li's illness, with worry on their faces, but not many.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Ms. Lin, go and cook some rice porridge for Dalang to eat when he wakes up." Old man Qin strode out of the main house and went straight to Qin Chi's house.

Lin responded quickly and went back to the kitchen.

Song Jin stood at the door of the house.

I didn't know what to do for a moment.

The door was not closed. Standing at the door, one could see Doctor Jing taking Qin Chi's pulse. He then took out a small medicine bottle from the medicine box, poured out a pill and fed it to Qin Chi.

"Don't worry. Dalang gets sick two or three times every year. You'll get used to it in the future." Xiao Liu pulled Song Jin over and comforted him.

The corners of Song Jin's mouth twitched.

Can I get used to this illness?

Not far away, Song Xiu was peeking out from the door, her face fully revealing her gloating.

When Song Jin looked at her.

Song Xiu put away her gloating expression.

He put on a worried look and came to Song Jin, pretending to show concern.

As soon as Xiao Liu left, Song Xiu's expression changed immediately.

"You shouldn't have gotten pregnant since your sickly child is about to die. Oh, this poor little thing will be fatherless before it's even born!"

A dog will never change its bad nature!

Just like Song Xiu’s current situation.

Song Jin glanced at her and said, "Song Xiu, a person's tolerance is limited. You always jump around in front of me. Do you believe that I will kill you before I become a widow?"

"Heh, Song Jin, you're not pretending anymore? You're just a pretentious person. Fortunately, I knew you were a cruel person since I was very young."

Song Xiu had once seen Song Jin punishing his servants.

The man was beaten until his body was covered in blood. Song Xiu was so scared that she had nightmares that night, but Song Jin didn't even blink.

If Song Jin knew what Song Xiu was thinking, he would definitely spit in her face.

If punishing a disloyal slave is considered vicious, then wouldn't she be going to heaven?

Song Jin actually wanted to slap Song Xiu in the face, but she was pregnant, so she couldn't fight or get angry.

"Song Xiu, you're covered in shit, and yet you still have the time to meddle in other people's affairs." Song Jin looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Song Xiu subconsciously followed her gaze.

Suddenly she saw Chen Dong'er wandering outside! Song Xiu's attention was immediately diverted. She walked to the gate of the yard angrily and began to taunt Chen Dong'er in a sarcastic tone.

"Hey! Village Chief Chen's unmarried daughter is here to take a walk outside my house again!"

Song Xiu must have learned her lesson, so she mocked people without using any swear words, "It's so early in the morning, it's really free, there must be everyone in the village who is envious of the aunties."

Song Jin wanted to say that Song Xiu had grown up smart.

With just these words, Chen Dong'er didn't even have a chance to ruin her reputation and hold Qin Mingsong responsible. She was completely defeated as soon as she appeared on the stage.

But Song Jin also knew something.

When the mind is at ease, there will be troubles; when the person is idle, there will be troubles.

Song Xiu always comes to her to seek a sense of existence because she is too idle!
