She quickly nodded again, "Of course it is. Li Qingqing had no money, she couldn't even get into the delivery room, and her child was premature. He must be mentally challenged, or he might not have survived at all. Am I right, Mom?"
Zhong Yun'er's voice was so shrill that it attracted the attention of many people, and passersby all looked over.
Zhong Hongliang frowned. "Keep your voice down. Don't worry about these things for now. You just gave birth and your body is still weak. We can talk about these trivial matters after you've rested."
Wei Juan nodded, "Sweetie, Mom knows you're not feeling well. If you're really upset, just cry it out. Don't keep it inside, or you'll have health problems if you keep it bottled up."
Zhong Yun'er's condition was clearly not right, and even Shu Ying, an outsider, had noticed the abnormality.
Her eyes were very bloodshot; she had just given birth and was already in a hurry to get out of bed.
Shu Ying assumed that Zhong Yun'er was unwilling to accept the situation. To avoid any accidents, she hurriedly went downstairs to pay the bill. When she went back upstairs, she found that Zhong Yun'er was no longer in the ward.
Somewhat suspiciously, she stopped a nurse in the ward and asked, "Excuse me, where did the mother who was in labor go? Wasn't she just here?"
Shu Ying knew that Zhong Yun'er had been putting psychological pressure on Li Qingqing all along.
Although she and Duan Huaichuan were childhood sweethearts, she was the one who broke her promise and married someone else first.
Later, Duan Huaichuan and Li Qingqing also got married, and everyone had started their own families. No matter how deep their feelings were, they should avoid suspicion.
However, relying on the bond they had shared since childhood, Zhong Yun'er would still visit Duan Huaichuan every few days after their marriage.
She would even openly link arms with Duan Huaichuan in front of Li Qingqing, and the two would hug and cuddle when they were intimate.
While Li Qingqing's face was grim, she innocently added, "Huaichuan, your wife won't be upset, will she? We've been inseparable since childhood, practically like brothers. If I were really interested in you, your wife wouldn't stand a chance."
Duan Huaichuan would always glance at Li Qingqing, as if he were looking at someone who was completely unrelated to him.
"No, although we are married, we don't have any emotional foundation. I'm just doing this to carry on the family line, and she just happens to need a man."
Duan Huaichuan wasn't very good at talking, and Li Qingqing never cared. But every time he talked to Zhong Yun'er about these things, his words always seemed to contain a hint of belittling.
At first, Li Qingqing would argue with him, but Duan Huaichuan said that she was too petty, and that the two of them were upright and honest with each other, and that he had never done anything to wrong Li Qingqing.
Over time, even she herself began to wonder if she was being too sensitive.
Perhaps because their feelings for each other were so deep, Li Qingqing thought that now that she was married, she should live a good life.
She shouldn't be jealous, and she shouldn't think too badly of Duan Huaichuan.
However, she couldn't resist Zhong Yun'er's open and covert provocations. She was just a little soft-hearted, but she wasn't stupid. She probably couldn't see what Zhong Yun'er meant by doing this.
It's not that she can't divorce Duan Huaichuan, but as soon as they separate, Li Dacheng will be eager to find her another person. Her ultimate goal is nothing more than to exchange dowry for Li Guangzong.
She didn't want to become an object to be manipulated by others.
She never mentioned these things to Shuying. She was already living in a quagmire and there was no need to make Shuying worry about it too.
The nurse pointed to the neonatal ward not far away, "It seems to be in that direction, but I'm not sure exactly. You can go and take a look."
Shu Ying nodded, and for a moment she had a bad feeling. Her gaze sharpened, and she involuntarily quickened her pace.
Zhong Yun'er, who was just standing at the door of the delivery room, wished she could drown her own child. How could she possibly go to see him now?
Although her guesses were too bold, Shu Ying had to think about it carefully. Since it concerned Li Qingqing, she couldn't be careless.
"Qingqing, your accident in your previous life was also related to Zhong Yun'er, wasn't it? You never told me, but you weren't doing well either. You're such a complete fool. How do you know I can't do anything about her if you don't tell me?"
Shu Ying's eyes were red as she thought about how Li Qingqing had died young in her previous life, which was most likely related to Zhong Yun'er's family.
At that time, she was sent to the countryside, and Duan Huaichuan lost contact with Li Qingqing. No one would protect her.
She was heavily pregnant and had to work three jobs a day. Even a normal man might not be able to handle that, let alone a pregnant woman like her.
The newborn room and the ward are not far apart, which is to make it convenient for the mother to take care of the newborn.
Shu Ying took a deep breath and prepared to go and keep watch. When she arrived, there were hardly any people in the corridor. Most of the family members were with the mother in labor, and the music in the corridor could still be heard as the babies cried.
"Yun'er, are you still in pain? I told you to rest for a while first, but you had to be in such a hurry. You were always sick when you were little, and postpartum confinement was the only time that could improve your health. Don't blame your mother for being useless."
Wei Juan carefully helped Zhong Yun'er up, her words tinged with self-reproach.
"Mom, I really don't feel any pain right now. Can you please stop nagging me? My ears are about to fall off. There aren't many people around yet. Are we not going to do this in public now?"
