Ying Nianrong covered her stomach, feeling a slight stomach cramp, and then a warm current surged from her abdomen.
She pushed away the servant who had just followed Ran's order and was about to lock her up, and said in panic:
"I'm bleeding from my lower body. Oh, my child, if I have a miscarriage, I want all of you to be buried with me."
Ran's face darkened and she signaled the court doctor to check on Ying Nianrong immediately.
Ying Nianrong asked the doctor to feel her pulse while she stared at Ran and Dan Ruo with hatred, her face grim and she said:
"Today, my mother and sister-in-law wrongly accused me and caused the death of my unborn child. The Duke of Ying's Mansion will not let this matter go unpunished."
Ying Yaoyue saw that Ran had dared to lock her up just now. Now the situation had reversed, she quickly joined in:
"Although my aunt is an adopted daughter, she is my grandmother's most beloved daughter."
Ran held Danruo's hand tightly, thinking that if Ying Nianrong really had a miscarriage, it would be a bit troublesome.
Dan Ruo held Ran's hand soothingly and said:
"Mother, let's see what the court doctor says first."
The court doctor wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and confirmed several times before speaking:
"The Second Young Master's wife is not pregnant, there is no miscarriage, the bleeding is probably due to menstruation."
Ying Nianrong looked at the court doctor in disbelief, wanting to rush forward and hit him frantically:
"Have you been bribed by my mother and sister-in-law? Tell the truth. No, save my child first."
The court physician quickly stepped back and said righteously, "I am responsible for my diagnosis with my life. I will never make a mistake."
Ran's heart was relieved, and she looked at Ying Nianrong coldly:
"Since you don't believe me, let's get a few doctors back from outside to check it out for you."
After receiving the order, Nanny Yu quickly took the housekeeper to do it.
A secret guard beside Dan Ruo has gone to Jing Ruchen to report the good news.
Ran discussed with Danruo that since Marquis Jing'en wanted to appoint a crown prince instead due to the lack of an heir, it would be better to spread the news of Danruo's pregnancy now to make Marquis Jing'en's plan fail.
After Dan Ruo agreed, Ran arranged people to do it.
After hearing the news, Jing Ruchen didn't know how he got home. He felt like he was floating in the clouds.
He actually had his own child. When he met Danruo's bright and clear eyes, tears blurred his eyes.
His gloomy life was filled with sunshine by the little girl he met by chance. Not only did he regain his masculinity, but he now had his own child.
He was willing to sacrifice his life to protect his wife and children.
After listening to the secret guard's explanation of the situation, he swept his cold gaze over Ying Nianrong and Ying Yaoyue.
Danruo held him back, signaling that she could handle it herself. He was a man with ambitions for his country and should not be disturbed by such matters in the inner chamber.
Jing Ruchen shook his head. If he couldn't even protect his wife and children, what kind of man was he?
He immediately said that he would personally invite Duke Ying to his house.
After Jing Ruchen left, Marquis Jing'en and Jing Shengwen also rushed back after hearing the news, and the doctor was also invited back.
Ying Nianrong had calmed down and felt the changes in her body. She knew that her period had come and she didn't want the doctor to take her pulse again, as it would only make her more embarrassed.
But this time she had no choice, and Ran didn't want to be accused of bribing the court doctor.
Several doctors came to the same conclusion that Ying Nianrong was not pregnant, but just had her period.
Jing Shengwen's expectations were dashed. He looked at Ying Nianrong with disappointment. Marquis Jing En stroked his short beard.
"Since Ruchen's wife is already pregnant, it's a happy event, so let's go today."
He had just submitted the petition to establish the crown prince this morning, but now he had to withdraw it.
Jing Shengwen whispered a reminder in Marquis Jing'en's ear:
"You were just about to change the heir this morning, and at noon, your sister-in-law got pregnant. What a coincidence."
Marquis Jing'en didn't take it to heart: "But the court doctor just said that Ruchen's illness has been cured a long time ago. He just didn't tell us."
Jing Shengwen continued, "Even if Big Brother is well again, this child came at such a coincidence, maybe it's a false pregnancy, or maybe it's not my Big Brother's. It's better to wait until the child is born to see if it's my Big Brother's, then you can withdraw the petition to establish the Crown Prince."
He was taking a gamble. What if the emperor had not received the news and had already approved him as the crown prince? Even if he found out later, he had to make the best of it as he was a king. He had to buy himself some time.
Dan Ruo's spiritual power has greatly increased. Naturally, she can hear their whispers. She will fight back against the dirty water Jing Shengwen threw at her. She looked at Ran:
"Mother, I once heard you say that my second brother was born prematurely. Aunt Sun gave birth to him 8 months after she came into the family. But in my opinion, my second brother's current physical condition is no match for a premature baby.
The son doesn't look like him at all, and I don't know if my second brother was born to someone else before Aunt Sun came into the family."
Ran suddenly realized and said in surprise:
"I think Sheng Wen and the Marquis really don't look alike."
Jing Shengwen saw that he was being smeared and tried to defend himself anxiously:
"I look more like my biological mother, but I am indeed my father's child. You are slandering me without any evidence."
Dan Ruo shot back, "You were the one who slandered me first without any evidence. You said my child wasn't the Crown Prince's. Where's your evidence?"
Jing Shengwen was speechless.
Marquis Jing'en's expression turned grim: "Alright, stop making trouble."
He sat aside with a gloomy face, the seeds of doubt had been planted in his heart. Judging from the appearance and the time of birth, he could only be sure that Jing Ruchen was his son.
He didn't dare to think about the rest.
Jing Shengwen secretly thought that it was bad, it was all Dan Ruo's fault for spreading false rumors and misleading the people.
