Fan Meiniang then told Lu Qingzhou how Nanny Wang had tortured her these days, adding more details to the story. Lu Qingzhou was so angry that his chest heaved.
Fan Meiniang tugged at her sleeve: "Fourth brother..."
"I am here."
"I like you, I really like you, you know? As long as I can be with you, I am willing to suffer any grievances, no matter how much suffering I endure."
She sobbed, her whole body burning due to the high fever, even her tears were hot. The hot tears dripped onto Lu Qingzhou's chest, burning his heart so much that it ached.
He said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
"It doesn't matter if I'm wronged. I'm just worried about the baby in my belly." Fan Meiniang stroked her belly, which didn't bulge out, and cried even more sadly. "If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the baby is born..."
Lu Qingzhou clenched his fists: "I won't let you talk nonsense."
"How could I say anything nonsense?" Fan Meiniang pushed him away angrily, lying on the bed, burying her face in the quilt, unwilling to look at Lu Qingzhou again.
"I was pregnant and couldn't eat well or wear warm clothes. Gu Yunran even sent the nanny to torture me. Fortunately, I was still strong and lasted for a month before collapsing. Otherwise, you might not have seen me again."
"If I had known that going back to the Lu Mansion with you would lead to such a life of fear, I would rather stay in the countryside and never come to see you for the rest of my life."
"I really can't stand it now. I regret it, wuwuwu..."
Fan Meiniang lay on the bed, her head buried in the quilt, crying breathlessly, "Why are you bullying me because I have no one in my family? You all look down on me like this."
Fan Meiniang cried so hard that her whole body was shaking, and she almost fainted several times. Lu Qingzhou thought back and realized that she had indeed suffered a lot of grievances in the Lu Mansion during this period of time.
His heart ached, and he picked her up from the fur quilt and sat her on him. He lowered his head and kissed her. Fan Meiniang tried to push him away, but Lu Qingzhou tightened his arms and held her tighter.
After a while, he finally let her go, patted her back, and coaxed her softly, "I know you've been wronged. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain."
"From now on, whatever you want, I will do my best to give it to you."
Hearing this, Fan Meiniang raised her eyes, looked at Lu Qingzhou hopefully, and asked, "I want the position of mistress, will you agree?"
Lu Qingzhou didn't say anything, but he didn't refuse either.
At this time, the doctor arrived. He examined Fan Meiniang and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Madam is weak. The recent unstable weather with alternating hot and cold temperatures has caused Madam to catch a cold."
"Is the fetus okay?"
"Fetus... fetus?" The doctor was a little confused. When Lu Qingzhou didn't notice, Fan Meiniang glared at Zhenzhu fiercely.
Pearl finally realized what was happening and asked the doctor worriedly, "My aunt... Madam has been pregnant for over a month. She's been working hard these days. Will it affect the fetus?"
Hearing Zhenzhu say this, Lu Qingzhou's heart jumped into his throat. He asked in panic, "Doctor, has the fetus stopped developing?"
"Let me confirm it again." The doctor took Fan Meiniang's pulse again. After a long time, he remained silent with a frown on his face.
Seeing this, Lu Qingzhou's heart was in his throat, and he was determined to do it. If anything happened to the child, he would never let Gu Yunran go.
Nanny Wang was the one sent by Gu Yunran to deliberately torture Mei Niang.
She is so cruel.
After an unknown amount of time, the doctor finally took the baby's pulse. Lu Qingzhou asked nervously, "Is the baby okay?"
The doctor stroked his beard and sighed, "The fetal heart rate is unstable and the pulse is weak..." Lu Qingzhou swallowed nervously, and then heard the doctor say, "But don't worry, my lord. I will prescribe some medicine for Madam to stabilize the pregnancy and she will be fine."
Lu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. Zhenzhu escorted the doctor out and gave him the consultation fee. "Here's your consultation fee."
The doctor's face darkened, and he was obviously dissatisfied: "The girl asked me to do this kind of thing, and the money she gave me is just enough to send away a beggar."
Zhenzhu hurriedly tugged at the doctor's sleeve and hurried out. When they reached a deserted alley, she pulled out a small piece of silver from her sleeve and said, "This is a reward for you."
The doctor was just a traveling doctor. He had never seen so much silver in his life, so he accepted it with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I won't tell anyone about that lady's fake pregnancy."
Pearl was startled: "Shut up!"
She quickly waved her hand: "Go away."
The doctor said with a playful smile, "Young lady, there's no need to chase me away." He looked up at the decoration of the Lu Mansion and smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits. "If you need anything in the future, young lady, just come to the small pharmacy at the east gate to find me."
As he spoke, he reached out to touch the pearly white hand.
Pearl hurriedly dodged and urged: "Hurry up and leave, or someone will find you, or your aunt will kill you."
"Okay, I'll leave now."
The doctor put the silver coins in his mouth and bit them hard, then left in a good mood. Zhenzhu was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, patting her chest in fear.
She also knew that Concubine Fan was so bold that she even faked her pregnancy. If the old lady knew...
Zhenzhu didn't dare to think further and hurriedly ran to Nianmei Pavilion.
Vanilla, hiding behind the pillar, covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from shouting. God knows she was frightened by the conversation she had just heard between Pearl and the doctor.
Only after seeing Zhenzhu running away did she turn around and tiptoe towards Juxiangyuan.
