Chapter 157 Showing Weakness
Chen Yuan closed his eyes without saying a word and did not resist anymore.
She slowly stroked her lower abdomen.
She could no longer disobey Yan Xi... She even had to pretend to be submissive in order to save her child.
Yan Xi has become so crazy that no one knows what he will do next.
Shen Yuan was very quiet for several days. She ate quietly and slept quietly.
Yan Xi sent a mute girl to help her with her daily washing and dressing.
It was rare for her and Yan Xi to communicate normally.
No matter how busy Yan Xi was, he would always come to have a meal with her once a day.
Shen Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, "I want to see my mother and see if she is okay."
Yan Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Shen Yuan looked at him stubbornly, tears gradually filling her eyes. "Brother, no matter what her status is, she is always my mother in my memory. She is the one who makes me feel warm. Brother, I just want to see my mother."
The two calls of "brother" made Yan Xi dazed.
He looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief, "You actually still call me big brother?"
Shen Yuan didn't say anything else.
Mother Shen was brought over that night.
Mother Shen seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
She looked at Chen Yuan and opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
Shen Yuan walked over with red eyes. She held Shen's mother's slightly cold hand and asked, "Mother, don't you recognize me?"
Mother Shen's nose was sore, and she wiped the tears from her cheeks with her sleeves, "Silly child, how could your mother not recognize you? Your mother is afraid of getting you into trouble."
Shen Yuan looked at Mother Shen, "Mother, I miss you so much. I feel so depressed all day long."
As she spoke, she took Mother Shen’s hand and wrote on her palm, “Where is this?”
Mother Shen shook her head at her.
She gestured with her hands to tell Chen Yuan that she was brought in blindfolded.
Yan Xi gradually felt relieved when he heard Shen Yuan's voice outside the house.
The next day, he removed all the cover in the house, and finally a ray of light came in. Chen Yuan pushed the candlestick to the ground in annoyance.
Mother Shen was brought here again. This was a sweet treat that Yan Xi gave him, mixed with opportunities.
The door creaked open and a mute maid came in carrying a bowl of medicine.
Thick white smoke rose from the brown medicinal soup, and Yan Xi's exquisite and gorgeous face was faintly visible behind the white smoke.
Mother Shen subconsciously protected Shen Yuan behind her. Yan Xi took the medicine from the mute girl and handed it to Shen Yuan, "Little Yuan'er, drink this bowl of medicine. I don't want you to have Gu Huailing's bastard in your belly again."
"Nannan is weak. Yan Xi, if you let her drink this medicine, it will kill her!"
Mother Shen grabbed Yan Xi's wrist and said word by word, "Nannan can't drink this medicine!"
Yan Xi shook off her wrist, "You have no right to speak here."
Mother Shen was so angry that she was shaking. "Yan Xi, you! Nannan is your sister in name only, don't you care about her health at all?"
A sharp flash of light flashed in Yan Xi's eyes. Before he could get angry, Shen Yuan took the medicine bowl and said calmly, "I'll drink it, you get out."
After saying that, she pointed at the mute girl and said, "Tell her to boil two basins of hot water and bring them in. Also, tell the secret guards around here to get out of here."
"And you!"
After Shen Yuan finished speaking, she stopped looking at Yan Xi, but Yan Xi was still staring at her.
Shen Yuan sneered, "Why are you afraid that I won't drink?"
She handed the medicine bowl to Mother Shen and looked at him sarcastically, "You've blocked this, how can I not drink it? Yan Xi, what are you afraid of?"
"Get out of here, don't let me see you!"
Shen Yuan kicked the stool next to him.
Yan Xi looked into her eyes, pursed his thin lips, and finally walked out without saying a word.
The mute girl brought some hot water. Mother Shen glanced outside and saw Yan Xi's figure not far away. She walked over and said coldly, "After a miscarriage, a woman's qi and blood are deficient. Go prepare some medicinal food to replenish qi and blood. Nannan doesn't want to see you, so stay away from her."
Yan Xi remained unmoved.
Mother Shen sighed, "Xi'er, you know Nannan's character. If you force her like this, aren't you afraid that she will hate you for the rest of her life?"
Yan Xi's face turned pale instantly.
Mother Shen turned and walked into the house. Before closing the door, she still looked at Yan Xi, hoping to hear an answer of regret from his mouth.
But no, Mother Shen shook her head in disappointment.
Without looking at Yan Xi again, he slammed the door shut.
Yan Xi clenched his hands tightly, his face turned ashen and his jaw was tense.
Bang!
There was a sound of a porcelain bowl breaking.
“Ah—it hurts!”
The sound of Shen Yuan enduring pain seemed to be amplified several times and reached Yan Xi's ears.
Yan Xi pursed his lips, his eyes full of worry.
"Nannan, just bear with it for a while."
The woman's screams were like a curse. Yan Xi could no longer bear it and strode into the house.
"Xiao Yuan'er." Yan Xi's panicked voice sounded outside.
Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of here!"
Mother Shen opened the door, her hands still stained with blood, "Go and boil some more hot water, get some clean cloth, and don't let Nannan see you again. She is using her strength to save her life now!"
The bright red blood stung Yan Xi's eyes.
He immediately turned around and walked out quickly.
All he could think about was Shen Yuan’s screams. Did he do something wrong?
But the baby in Xiao Yuan'er's belly was Gu Huailing's illegitimate child.
He was not wrong, the evil offspring must be eliminated, and the one who was wrong was Gu Huailing. He must kill Gu Huailing.
Inside the house, Shen Yuan saw Yan Xi's receding figure through the crack in the window.
She silently mouthed to Shen's mother, "Hurry!"
The two of them worked together to move the mute girl to the bed, and Chen Yuan quickly changed into the mute girl's clothes.
Mother Shen held her hand and said silently: "Run quickly after you get out. Don't be afraid, your mother will drag you."
Shen Yuan shook his head, "You come with me."
Mother Shen caressed her cheek lovingly, “Silly child, I’ll be fine with your father here.”
Shen Yuan didn't believe it and stubbornly held Shen's mother's hand.
Mother Shen looked at her with calm and powerful eyes, "Nannan, you must go out. You can't be a puppet controlled by Yan Xi."
"Hurry up, it will be too late..."
The door was pushed open with a creak!
Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Mother Shen quickly lowered the curtain. Chen Yuan knelt beside the bed with her back to Yan Xi, holding a copper basin.
Her heart was pounding.
Yan Xi wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Shen's mother!
She glared at Yan Xi with eyes full of anger, "The baby has been lost, are you satisfied now?"
"Nannan is in so much pain, you're happy, right?"
Yan Xi opened his mouth and said, "I want to take a look at Xiao Yuan'er."
"Shut up!" Mother Shen said sternly, "What qualifications do you have to look at her? Before she fainted, she said she didn't want you to see her like this. I won't let you look at her no matter what you say today. Please go back!"
Yan Xi looked at the woman's hazy figure through the gauze curtain, and the bloody smell in the room stung his nose.
He clenched and unclenched his fists at his side. "Well, I'll come see Xiao Yuan'er again tomorrow."
Shen Yuan's entire back was soaked.
Only when the sound of Yan Xi's leaving footsteps rang out did Shen Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.
Yan Xi walked halfway and suddenly turned around.
Shen Yuan's heart instantly jumped to her throat.
