Chapter 49: Let You Get Rid of the Cold
When they were halfway there, it was already late at night, and snowflakes suddenly floated down from the sky. In an instant, pear blossoms danced in the air, and the scenery looked like a sea of silver and jade towers. It was truly a beautiful snowfall.
Fortunately, everyone was wearing cloaks. Xie Yuduo held the sleeping Yu Jing in his arms, while Chen Qi held a lantern beside him. The couple walked and talked in the snow.
"My brother said the shop is doing well, especially during the Lunar New Year period. I think I'll be able to make back my investment in less than six months."
"That's good, thank you for your help, sir!"
"Oh, even without my help, Big Brother would have done well in business. Unlike me, he practically started from scratch, which is quite rare. If I were to start over again, I might not be as successful as he was."
Chen Qi smiled and said, "You are too polite, sir. I am a very good judge of people. Even if you start from scratch, you will never be left behind for long."
"If that's true, then Xiaoyue'er is still willing to marry me?"
"Of course, it's more real than pearls."
Xie Yuduo's profile in the snow is particularly handsome.
"I believe it."
The two of them talked as they walked, and when they were almost at the door of their house, Xiaowu came over with a big lantern and took it. Together they walked on the broken jade and returned to Xie's house.
Only after putting Yu Jing to bed did Chen Qi return to the east wing.
After walking all the way tonight, the snow and wind blew, and her hands and feet were frozen. Xie Yuduo was sweating from the heat, and he warmed her for a long time, but she didn't feel warm.
Fortunately, Xiao Ling had already lit the stove in the house and prepared bath water. Xie Yuduo was worried, so he added more hot water before sending her to take a bath.
Chen Qi immersed her whole body in the hot water. It took a long time for her hands and feet to warm up.
Just as I was about to get up and get a cotton towel to wipe myself, the door opened with a bang.
She cried out and hurriedly hid in the water.
"What are you afraid of? Who else could it be besides me?"
Xie Yuduo was only wearing a single layer of clothing, and he started taking it off as soon as he came in.
"You...what are you doing here?"
Even though they have been married for half a year, Chen Qi's blushing problem has not been cured, especially when she is exposed to the heat, her cheeks become particularly red.
He was quite frank and took off his clothes in no time, even with sweat still covering his strong body.
"You've been showering for so long, I'm worried, let's go together."
After saying that, he threw away his clothes, striding in with long legs, and walked in without any courtesy, squeezing Chen Qi so that she had nowhere to go.
He raised his eyebrows, his wanton eyes unconcealed.
"I didn't warm you up just now, so now I'll go get rid of the cold."
"I'm not cold anymore. You, you first..."
Chen Qi didn't really want to refuse, but she was very worried about this situation.
"Are you really not cold anymore?"
"Really? Touch it if you don't believe me."
She obediently stretched out her foot, but someone grabbed her warm calf and pulled her closer.
"It's not enough."
Both the words and the actions were decisive.
"Tomorrow... tomorrow is okay?"
She tried to coax him gently.
This guy may have seen too many tricks when he was out and about, and he is very cunning and doesn't buy it at all.
"Not good. The shop opens tomorrow, and we don't know how late we'll be busy... Don't move..."
She had nowhere to hide and was about to turn around and run away when someone grabbed her white legs, pulled her back, and pressed her into a hot embrace.
Indeed, it is hotter than bath water.
The heat was so thick and comfortable that she was reluctant to let go.
…
Outside the window, the wind and snow are blowing hard.
The cold, hard snow particles collided with the warm, fragrant steam and immediately melted into a pool of spring water. As it swayed back and forth, the sound of water splashing...
…
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he saw that the bathtub was almost empty, he finally carried the person back to the soft and warm bed.
Chen Qi was extremely sleepy today and didn't want to bother with his pestering anymore. She turned around and went to sleep.
A deep sleep.
As daylight approached, a scream was heard from the yard.
"ah--"
The sound was shrill and could be described as extremely cruel.
The couple, who had just fallen asleep, were suddenly awakened.
Chen Qi was half asleep and straightened her sore body from the quilt.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Xie Yuduo was quick and was already getting dressed. Seeing that she was getting ready, he quickly pushed her back into the bed and tucked the quilt in again.
"It sounds like the sound from the west courtyard. You go back to sleep, I'll go check it out."
She looked out the window. It was still dark, but there was a faint hint of snow.
"Then put on more clothes. It's probably still snowing outside."
Xie Yuduo responded, leaned over and kissed her warm forehead, then took the cloak and went out.
There were indeed lights on in the west courtyard, and there were faint cries of surprise from men and women. Xie Yuduo had just walked to the gate of the courtyard on the snow when he saw a new maid running out in a panic.
He grabbed it.
"What happened?"
"It's... Grandma... she... she..."
Seeing her panicked expression and some blood on her hands, Xie Yuduo had already guessed about 70% of the situation.
After taking two quick steps, I saw that the lights in my eldest brother's room were on. I could hear my second aunt crying loudly from inside the room. My second uncle was wearing a coat and standing at the door, rubbing his hands, at a loss.
Xie Yuduo couldn't go in either, so he could only stay in the yard with his second uncle. Just then, his eldest brother lifted the curtain and came out. When he saw the two of them, tears welled up in his eyes.
"It's no use. I'm afraid the baby can't be saved. I've asked someone to call a doctor..."
Things have come to this point and there is nothing anyone can do.
Fortunately, the doctor came quickly, went into the room, took the pulse, and came out shaking his head and sighing.
"This baby is already over five months old. Despite all the precautions, the mother's body is weak and the baby is in a bad condition. She's bleeding a lot now, so it can't be saved. Let's see if we can evacuate it. If it does, I can still keep it. If not, I'm afraid I'll..."
After hearing this, Xie Yuming's hands began to tremble.
"Doctor, please! Please save my wife! I have all the medicine she needs at home..."
"Grandma has already taken the medicine to remove blood stasis and promote menstruation, but... we still have to wait and see..."
As he was talking, Chen Qi had already put on her clothes and came over. When she heard what the doctor said, she immediately understood that this was a matter of life and death.
Sun Xueyi's life depends on his luck today.
Chen Qi heard the cries becoming more and more shrill, and saw basins of blood being brought out one after another. She felt her mouth dry and her face turned pale.
Seeing that her face looked amiss, Xie Yuduo took a step forward and supported her subtly.
Chen Qi turned around and forced a smile.
"I'm fine."
Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Suddenly, the curtain moved and Second Aunt came out of the room.
"Mom, why did you come out? How is Xueyi?"
"Alas... the baby can't be saved, and he can't come down. It's really scary to watch. I... even if I'm watching right there, there's nothing I can do!"
"That won't do! She can't be alone! I, I'll go!"
Second Aunt grabbed her son.
"No! For a businessman like us, men are most afraid of seeing blood in the dark. You've been doing business for a long time. If you get into this bad luck, you'll have a lifetime of misfortune!"
Xie Yuming struggled to go in, but his second aunt held him back tightly. Seeing this, his second uncle also tried to persuade him.
