Hearing this, Yi Yi felt as if it were telling her own story. Tears instantly streamed down her face, and her heart clenched painfully.
If she gives birth to a baby who is seen as a "monster" by others, will Mu Nanxun, like that man, humiliate her, kick her and the baby out, or even... kill them?
Xia Bingqing pretended to panic and reached out to wipe away Yi Yi's tears, "explaining," "Yi Yi, why are you crying? I'm talking about someone else's story, not yours. Neither you nor Brother Xun are monsters, you won't give birth to a monster."
These words sounded like they were meant to comfort Yi Yi, but Xia Bingqing knew that they were actually what Yi Yi truly needed.
Yi Yi knew she wasn't human, and she had always worried that her baby might be abnormal. Now, hearing Xia Bingqing's words, her worries were magnified a thousandfold, making her even more afraid. She even felt that the baby in her belly was a monster.
A wave of dizziness washed over Yi Yi, and she almost couldn't stand. Her face turned deathly pale, quickly losing all color. Xia Bingqing watched this, a cold smile gradually appearing on her lips.
"Young Madam, Young Madam..."
Seeing Yi Yi swaying, Li Ma was terrified and quickly ran over to support her.
Because Yi Yi was pregnant, and worried that the new nanny Zhang wouldn't be able to take good care of Yi Yi and didn't know her tastes, Li Ma stayed behind to prepare nutritious meals for Yi Yi every day and take care of her daily life.
Li Ma shoved Xia Bingqing without hesitation, pulled Yi Yi away, and questioned, "Miss Xia, we kindly took you in, why do you always go against our young mistress? She kindly brought you sea bass soup, what did you say to her that caused her to become like this! She's pregnant now, she can't take any more stress. If anything happens to her, can you afford to compensate our young mistress and young master?!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingqing immediately feigned confusion and shook her head repeatedly, "Aunt Li, I didn't, I didn't do anything, you have to believe me... I just, I just talked to Yi Yi and told her stories..."
"Pah! You can fool others, but you can't fool me. If you hadn't done anything outrageous, how could the young mistress have turned into this state!"
"I really didn't... I'm worthless now. If it weren't for Yi Yi, I probably wouldn't be alive today. How could I possibly have the right to do anything wrong to my benefactor..."
Li Ma's expression remained unpleasant as she scolded, "Who knew you were so two-faced? You're all smiles on the surface, but behind my back you're up to all sorts of dirty tricks..."
“Aunt Li…” Yi Yi grasped Aunt Li’s hand, leaning half of her body weakly against her, her eyes red, as if she was trying hard not to cry.
"Young Madam, what happened? Don't scare me."
"No..." Yi Yi shook her head, "Don't blame Xia Bingqing, it has nothing to do with her. I'm not feeling well, could you help me upstairs to rest?"
"Okay, okay, I'll help you upstairs right away. Let's take a nap, you'll feel better when you wake up, okay?"
Li Ma carefully helped Yi Yi upstairs to her bedroom.
During the process, Li Ma checked several times, and Yi Yi insisted that she was fine, so she left the room, looking back every few steps.
