Gu Qinlian witnessed the whole thing and could no longer contain her anger. She rushed forward, grabbed Ji Yinli, and scratched his face repeatedly.
Ji Yinli was entwined with his beloved when he suddenly heard Gu Qinlian's cursing. He panicked and turned his head, only to have his sharp fingernails scratch his cheek.
He instinctively covered his head and face with his hands and turned to run away.
Gu Qinlian relentlessly pursued him, her anger and resentment palpable.
"Ji Yinli, you heartless man! You actually went to brothels behind my back! How can you face me now?"
"You lot, stop him! I'm going to scratch him until he's bruised and battered!"
Gu Qinlian chased after Ji Yinli, but was unable to keep up, so she shouted for help from the guards.
With the help of the guards, Ji Yinli was quickly stopped.
Gu Qinlian pounced on Ji Yinli like a tiger, scratching and clawing at him, attracting the attention of the prostitutes in Xiaoxiang Pavilion and departing guests.
Unfortunately, several of Ji Yinli's friends also heard the commotion and ran out to see what was going on. When they saw Ji Yinli being chased and running all over the place, they all burst into laughter.
"Brother Ji, so this is what you've become, so afraid of your wife."
"We thought you had married a gentle and virtuous woman, but who knew that Brother Ji's wife would be so fierce. Brother Ji's position in the family is in jeopardy, and he will probably be ridiculed by others."
"Brother Ji, there's a lioness in your household. It seems we can no longer discuss things with you."
Ji Yinli, who had initially felt somewhat guilty, lost all dignity amidst his friends' ridicule.
He lowered his hand that was protecting his head and shoved Gu Qinlian hard: "When are you going to stop making a scene?"
Caught off guard, Gu Qinlian was pushed and fell heavily to the ground.
The excruciating pain spread from her lower abdomen to her entire body. She clutched her stomach tightly with both hands, and her face instantly turned ashen.
"Young lady, what's wrong?"
Two maids rushed forward to help her, but Gu Qinlian was in too much pain to stand and curled up in a ball.
Ji Yinli was startled by her reaction and felt a little flustered, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Qinlian, stop fooling around! You take your people back. I have something to do and must go ahead."
After saying this, Ji Yinli didn't even try to help Gu Qinlian up; instead, he turned around and fled.
Gu Qinlian curled up in pain, clutching her stomach tightly with both hands, cold sweat streaming down her forehead. The maids, realizing the seriousness of the situation, immediately cried out to the guards, "Come quickly and help! If anything happens to the young lady, don't escape punishment!"
The guards dared not delay and rushed forward to help. Just as they helped Gu Qinlian up, they heard a prostitute cry out, "Oh dear, she's bleeding!"
Another prostitute exclaimed, "She's bleeding so much and in so much pain, could she have miscarried?"
Gu Qinlian felt as if she had been struck by lightning; she had miscarried.
Is she pregnant?
She quickly looked down and saw that her skirt was stained with blood.
Suddenly, Gu Qinlian's vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
"woman!"
The two maids were terrified and hurriedly directed the guards to quickly lift Gu Qinlian away like an arrow.
Inside the carriage.
Gu Qinlan and her servants stared wide-eyed in astonishment at this sudden turn of events.
Fuyu stammered, "Woman, could it be that the two women really miscarried?"
Gu Qinlan was also full of doubt: "It seems that this is indeed the case."
In her previous life, she had been married to the Ji family for several years but had never conceived, so she was completely unaware of the possibility that Gu Qinlian was pregnant. Thinking of the couple's child, which was indirectly lost because of her, Gu Qinlan's feelings were complicated and difficult to describe.
The next morning, Hongye brought the most reliable news.
Gu Qinlian did indeed miscarry.
The fetus had only been developing for a little over a month, and neither Gu Qinlian nor her maid had noticed.
When Madam Ji learned that Gu Qinlian had miscarried, she was furious and immediately wanted to go to the Gu family to reprimand Gu Qinlian for failing to protect the Ji family bloodline. However, when she learned that the child had been aborted by Ji Yinli, Madam Ji was speechless and even pretended that she had not received any news.
As for Ji Yinli, after hearing that Gu Qinlian had miscarried, he felt guilty and panicked, not knowing how to face this sudden situation.
Meanwhile, the concubine Fuling was extremely gloating.
Her own child was harmed by the Gu family back then, and now Gu Qinlian herself is losing her child, and it was Ji Yinli who caused it. This makes Gu Qinlian's inner pain even more profound.
But that's far from enough.
After all, she has lost the ability to have children!
A hint of resentment flashed in Fuling's eyes. After carefully dressing herself up, she got up and went to find Ji Yinli.
She had to get Ji Yinli to bring Gu Qinlian back to the Ji family so she could take care of her herself!
Gu Qinlian awoke from her deep sleep to find her mother sitting by the bedside, wiping away tears.
The slight pain in her lower abdomen reminded her of what she had experienced.
She hurriedly reached out to touch her abdomen. Noticing her movement, Madam Song immediately took her hand and asked with concern, "Qinlian, my darling, you're awake. Is anything bothering you? Does your abdomen hurt? Are you hungry?"
Gu Qinlian, pale-faced and trembling, asked, "Mother, my child... how is he?"
Song's tears fell again: "Qinlian, you are only a teenager, and you have a strong constitution. Once you have recovered, you will be able to get pregnant again in no time."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlian couldn't help but burst into tears.
How could she be so careless? She didn't even realize she was pregnant.
