Chapter 67: Recuperation
Pei Jingyuan and Xu Qingyue were eventually carried back to the yard.
After learning about this, Liu Rumeng rushed to see Pei Jingyuan. When she saw that her son's body was covered with bruises, she felt extremely distressed.
"Duke, how can he be so cruel!" Liu Rumeng said gritting her teeth.
"Mom, I'm fine. It's just that now my son has disliked my father. I'm afraid that in the future, he will dislike me even more and favor my eldest brother." Pei Jingyuan said with a frown.
In Pei Jingyuan's opinion, his body was in pain, but more importantly, he had lost his father's heart this time. A person who couldn't even manage his own backyard would certainly be looked down upon by the British public office, especially when compared with Pei Jingchuan, the legitimate son, which made him look even more incompetent.
"You are really wronged this time. It's all the fault of that idiot Xu Qingyue! Originally, I was counting on her to give birth to a child before the Crown Prince's Consort, because the child would be valued by the Duke. But who knew that she played a good card badly, and it's because of this child that you have suffered this unexpected disaster! The Duke demoted her to a concubine, and she deserved it. This kind of woman shouldn't be your wife!" Liu Rumeng couldn't help but curse when she thought of the cause of today's incident.
At this time, Pei Jingyuan frowned and said, "Mother, but the Duke's wife also said that her son is not allowed to marry again within two years."
"What? Why does she do this?" Liu Rumeng said in a daze when she heard this.
"Because now everyone thinks that all this was caused by my son wanting to marry a concubine when Qingyue was pregnant. Qingyue was sad because of this, so she thought about aborting and committing suicide." Pei Jingyuan said with a bitter face.
Of course he knew Xu Qingyue would not want to commit suicide, but he had no choice but to admit the crime, which was the best outcome. Otherwise, if he admitted that Xu Qingyue had framed Xu Qingyan, he would be implicated even more. So, this time he could only swallow his anger.
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumeng scolded Xu Qingyue several more times until her mouth was dry. She then stopped and said, "Under the current situation, we can only temporarily not count on the Duke's Mansion, but still look to the Third Prince. Anyway, the Duke's military power was foolishly handed over to the Emperor for his legitimate son last time. From now on, you just need to please the Third Prince, and after he ascends the throne, everything can be planned again."
"But there is still no sign of the silver that we promised to the third prince last time, and the third prince is urging us again. Mother, can you really not afford it?" At this point, Pei Jingyuan thought of the silver again.
At this point, Liu Rumeng could only sigh and say, "I do have some money here, but in this situation, you can only take the subsidy from me first."
Ever since Xu Qingyue was punished, Xu Qingyan has had a quiet time.
Every day, she either played games with Pei Jinyu in the mansion, or went shopping and boating. This leisurely life like a salted fish made her very satisfied. The relationship between her and Pei Jingchuan was respectful during the day, but at night, it made her very upset.
She had suspected several times whether Pei Jingchuan had been poisoned by a fake poison. Why didn't the poison affect her life? She had to eat a lot of meat and fish every day without gaining weight. This was probably because she was too tired at night? But if she was so tired, why didn't her stomach move until now?
Xu Qingyan has already made the worst plan for her life. If after two years, she has tried her best but still failed to save this cannon fodder young master, then it would be good for her to have a son or daughter by her side.
But now it has been so long, and her body still has no reaction. She couldn't help but think that there are so many people who can't have children nowadays, many of them are because of physical problems. Could it be that she has a physical problem too? She is not a person who avoids seeing a doctor. If she is sick, she must treat it. In this ancient male-dominated world, she feels that she doesn't have the ability to become a great woman, so she has to have children.
Therefore, Xu Qingyan asked her maid to invite a doctor to check her body.
"Madam, your body is deficient in qi and blood, and your pulse is a little weak. May I ask, have you ever lived in a cold and harsh place for a long time when you were young, or did you suffer from any cold disease in your childhood?" The doctor asked with a frown after taking your pulse.
Xu Qingyan frowned upon hearing this, and carefully searched through the memories of the original owner after she transmigrated into the book. She thought for a long time before she said, "I grew up in the countryside when I was a child. I didn't have enough food or warm clothes. In the middle of winter, I had to go barefoot to the fields to look for radishes. I was poor at that time, and I did suffer from the cold."
"That's it. Madam, this is a disease you suffered from in your early years. Because you were malnourished and caught cold since childhood, your body is cold and it's difficult for you to conceive." The doctor sighed, stroking his beard.
"So that's how it is. Could the doctor prescribe some medicine to cure my illness so I can get pregnant?" Xu Qingyan nodded when she heard it, then looked at the doctor with a burning gaze.
She did not doubt what the doctor said. She and her mother were abandoned by their scumbag father when she was a child, and they lived such a miserable life in the countryside. It was normal for her to have health problems.
The doctor nodded and said, "I will prescribe medicine for you right away, but it is hard to say whether you can get pregnant. You need to strengthen your nutrition while taking the medicine. As for when you can get pregnant, I can't say for sure."
"Doctor, you just need to prescribe the medicine. I understand the rest." Xu Qingyan did not embarrass the doctor.
In modern times, infertility is a thorny issue. Sometimes couples have no problems with their health after examination, but they cannot get pregnant. Having a child still depends on fate. Her main task now is to take good care of her body first.
Pei Jingchuan knew that Xu Qingyan had seen a doctor. After he found out, he thought that Xu Qingyan was sick. After the court session, he put aside all his affairs and went straight to Tingyu Pavilion in the Duke's Mansion.
"Qingyan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? But is Xu Qingyue bothering you again?" Pei Jingchuan asked Xu Qingyan three questions as soon as he stepped into the room. His caring look made the maids Danyan and Ziyan beside Xu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh.
"Husband, you misunderstood. They are just some minor problems, nothing serious!" Xu Qingyan smiled when she heard this.
"Really? Then why did you let the doctor prescribe medicine? Is it really not serious?" Pei Jingchuan asked doubtfully, his eyes fixed on the black medicine in front of Xu Qingyan.
"What kind of medicine is this?" Pei Jingchuan asked curiously.
"This is..." Xu Qingyan said somewhat embarrassedly after hearing this.
Xu Qingyan was a little embarrassed to say that this was a medicine for childbirth! Otherwise, she was afraid that he would think that he was not working hard enough and she would have to drink this medicine. Then she would work harder at night. What should she do?
But before Xu Qingyan could answer, Pei Jingchuan asked the maid coldly, "What kind of medicine did Madam drink?"
The maid naturally did not dare to lie, so she could only say, "The doctor said that Madam has some cold in her body and needs to take medicine to regulate her body so that she can have a child in the future."
Pei Jingchuan suddenly felt happy and said: Pregnant! Is this a fertility drug? So, Qingyan wanted to give birth to a child for herself?
However, when Pei Jingchuan saw Xu Qingyan's thin figure, his brows were filled with worry again. He said with some distress: "You are still young, there is no rush to give birth to a child, just take care of your body first."
He had heard that it was dangerous for a woman to give birth. He had not paid attention to this aspect before, but now that he paid so much attention to it, he suddenly realized that he did not want her to endure the pain of childbirth so early.
Originally, he felt that his love for Xu Qingyan was what a normal couple should have. But now, without realizing it, he suddenly felt that his feelings for her were more than just responsibility.
