"Madam!" Everyone was shocked. Hu Mingmei grabbed Bai Nuo's waist, but Bai Nuo used all her strength, and Hu Mingmei couldn't hold on to her for a moment. Bai Nuo rushed over and crashed straight into the nearest pillar.
The people in the room screamed in alarm. Old Master Hu and the others were so frightened that they stood up from their chairs. Hu Mingmei's shrill voice and the servants' screams created chaos.
"Quickly!" The newly arrived eunuch, who had just witnessed a good show, shouted in a shrill voice as chaos erupted on the scene, "Stop the young mistress immediately! Don't let her do anything foolish!"
But everyone present looked at each other, and then at Bai Nuo's resolute expression, and not a single person thought to stop her. It was Wang Mama who acted quickly. Bai Nuo rushed over, and Wang Mama ran after her. She barely managed to catch Bai Nuo when she hit the pillar, dissipating half of her strength. Both of them fell to the ground. Bai Nuo's smooth forehead now had a hole in it.
Seeing his beloved wife like this, Hu Mingmei was overcome with grief. He staggered to Bai Nuo's side, picked her up, and tears streamed down his face. "Nuonuo..."
As the saying goes, a man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken. Looking at Hu Mingmei's tears, Eunuch Qian felt particularly sad.
"Husband, why did you save me? I don't want to live anymore!" Bai Nuo hadn't fainted. Hu Mingmei was holding her, and she weakly opened her eyes. "If I had known it would be so difficult to marry into your family, I wouldn't have married you in the first place!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Hu Mingmei wiped away her tears and scolded softly, "If you die, how am I supposed to live on? I failed to protect you!"
The four people sitting at the head of the table breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Bai Nuo was still breathing and talking. But to their surprise, Hu Mingmei picked up the village girl the next second and said sadly, "Since there's no place for you here, your husband will take you away!"
Normally, they would be overjoyed to hear that Hu Mingmei was leaving, but now, with Eunuch Qian here, and even with an imperial edict, they didn't know what was going on, but how could they let Hu Mingmei leave in front of Eunuch Qian?
Grandpa Hu Wenbai immediately shouted, "Ming'er, where are you going? This is your home!"
In front of Eunuch Qian, Hu Wenbai made sure to save face for everyone.
Hu Mingmei turned around, holding Bai Nuo, his face growing paler. He said softly, "This place can't even accommodate my wife and me. If you force my wife to her death today, you'll force me to my death tomorrow. What am I still doing here? Even if I don't want to live anymore, I still have to leave Nuo Nuo a way out!"
Look at what this scoundrel is saying! He's labeled them murderers with just a few words! Hu Wenbai's face turned ashen with rage. He wanted nothing more than to beat Hu Mingmei up, but with Eunuch Qian there, he had to hold back. Nevertheless, he still scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and get a doctor for your wife!"
Having served in the palace for many years, Eunuch Qian was not the most favored person by His Majesty's side, but he was certainly the second most favored. His eyes darted around, and he already understood most of the situation.
However, Hu Mingmei got married, and the Empress Dowager was happy. When the Empress Dowager was happy, the Emperor was happy too. He still said at the right time, "Second Young Master should find a doctor for Second Young Mistress first. Tsk tsk, this injury is quite serious. She just got married and she's already trying to kill herself. How are you all taking care of her?"
After Qian Gonggong finished speaking in a shrill voice, he glared at Wang Mama. Wang Mama jumped in fright and stammered, "Madam wanted to beat the young mistress to death, and the young mistress couldn't think straight, so... so she tried to kill herself..."
Madam Zheng was shocked by what Wang Mama would say. Wang Mama not only hid in Hu Mingmei's courtyard, but also openly and secretly opposed them. Now she was actually turning the tables on them! Madam Zheng immediately retorted angrily, "You lowly servant, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Second Aunt!" Hu Mingmei shouted angrily, "We heard everything! If I had come back a little later, would you have beaten Nuonuo to death?"
"Oh dear, the young mistress has fainted!" Granny Wang shouted.
The entire hall immediately descended into chaos. Hu Mingmei quickly carried Bai Nuo into a side hall, where people called for a doctor and gathered around to express their concern. Bai Nuo was surrounded by a group of people on a small couch in the side hall.
"The doctor is here!" someone shouted, and the crowd parted to make way for the doctor, who came over to treat Bai Nuo's wounds, bandage them, and take her pulse!
After a flurry of activity, Hu Mingmei hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"
"The young mistress's injuries are not serious!" the doctor said.
Hu Mingmei clearly didn't believe it. "Then why did she faint?!" If she wasn't seriously injured, she wouldn't have fainted!
"The young mistress fainted because of excessive grief. Also, she is only a month pregnant and it seems she has experienced some miscarriage discomfort, which is why she has been unconscious. I will prescribe some medicine to help stabilize the pregnancy!"
Pregnant
The pregnancy was threatened.
These words struck Hu Wenbai and his companions like a thunderclap.
Hu Mingmei looked at Madam Zheng with red eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Second Aunt, do you want me to have no descendants?"
Of course she wanted Hu Mingmei to have no descendants, so that the entire Hu family could revert to their original surname, and everything would belong to her son. However, looking into Hu Mingmei's murderous eyes, Madam Zheng took a step back and couldn't speak.
Hu Haichuan pulled his wife aside and patted Hu Mingmei's shoulder reassuringly, "Ming'er, what are you talking about? Your second aunt treats you like her own son, so naturally she wants the best for you!"
