Chapter 255 Serious
"Madam, what's wrong?"
Baozhu walked in carrying Xie Qingran's favorite hawthorn cake, and looked at Xie Qingran's appearance and felt very confused.
"Madam, you ate too little for dinner. How about having some of this to whet your appetite?"
Baozhu didn't get an answer from Xie Qingran, so she pushed the hawthorn cake forward again.
Xie Qingran then came to her senses, glanced at the hawthorn cake, and smiled faintly: "Go down."
Although Baozhu felt strange, she still nodded and obediently withdrew.
At the door, Yu Huan stood there watching Bao Zhu come out. She hurriedly went to greet her, frowning as she looked at Bao Zhu: "What exactly happened? Madam has been acting strangely ever since she came home today. What did you see outside?"
"It's nothing, I was just stabbed, but it was just a superficial wound. Maybe it's because I was so scared that I fainted. It's a bit embarrassing." Baozhu still felt a little sore, but it wasn't anything serious. She was just quite frightened and still felt lingering fear when she talked about it.
Yu Huan rolled her eyes, feeling that what Bao Zhu was saying was off-topic.
She glanced inside with some concern, then said somewhat dejectedly, "I just hope everything goes smoothly for the Duke and he returns soon."
Inside the room, Xie Qingran glanced at the hawthorn cake, her hands trembling as she opened the letter from home.
Xiao Jue's calligraphy, like himself, was bold and unrestrained, extremely flamboyant.
The three-page letter was filled with nothing but his longing and concern for Xie Qingran.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Xie Qingran felt a mix of emotions. She felt a little sweet, after all, Xiao Jue only had her in his heart and cared for her in every little way. But she was also a little sad, because the letter did not mention anything about Shen Wentao.
Xie Qingran had no idea how many other things were being kept from her.
She originally thought that she was sincere enough to Xiao Jue, and that Xiao Jue would treat her sincerely in return. She even thought that the two of them were already very close and had no secrets between them.
However, Xie Qingran now realizes that the Xiao Jue she knows is only one aspect of him; as for other aspects, Xie Qingran is completely ignorant.
She took a deep breath and carefully put the letter away. She picked up a piece of hawthorn cake from the side, took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste dispelled some of the bitterness.
At this moment, the divine doctor brought over the medicine to prevent miscarriage and carefully took Xie Qingran's pulse. The baby was now more than three months old, and the sex could already be determined. After taking her pulse, the divine doctor looked at Xie Qingran with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the baby?" Xie Qingran looked at the divine doctor with some anxiety. "Is there something wrong with the baby?"
“The baby is fine, in fact, the baby is very healthy, but… you… you have two babies in your womb.” The doctor looked at Xie Qingran with some concern: “Your health is not good, and you have old ailments. It’s already hard enough to have one baby, and now you have two babies in your womb. I’m afraid your body will not be able to withstand it.”
Xie Qingran had always known that her health was not good. After all, she hadn't been eating or sleeping well at the manor and had been punished. How could her health possibly be good?
But Xie Qingran really didn't expect that her health was so bad that she couldn't even keep the baby.
"Can this child... be saved?"
Xie Qingran spoke with a trembling voice.
"Save the child isn't that difficult, but it will be very hard on you, and you'll probably suffer a lot." The doctor sighed helplessly, looking at Xie Qingran with heartache.
I always felt that Xie Qingran had been suffering ever since she married into the family.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.
She smiled at the miracle doctor and then said calmly, "It's alright, a little risk is nothing, I'm happy to take it."
"It's not just a little risk, it's a huge risk. Madam, you mustn't be careless. From now on, eat as little as you can. Don't worry about the baby being deprived. A baby is born with a life that can be recovered at any time. Otherwise, the lives of all three of you might be in danger."
“Your wife has been through a lot of stress lately, which will also affect the child, so you should try to worry less about her in the future.”
"Madam, you should think carefully about this child. If you don't want it, you can still have it now..."
The doctor didn't speak too bluntly about what came next.
Seeing Xie Qingran's increasingly unpleasant expression, he wisely refrained from continuing the conversation.
Xie Qingran took a deep breath, then looked at the divine doctor: "I want these two children, I will do anything to have them!"
"Yes, I will do everything in my power to protect these two children!"
The miracle doctor readily agreed.
Since Xie Qingran wants these two children, he has no reason to give up.
He immediately changed Xie Qingran's prescription to one for preventing miscarriage, and then cautiously walked around the room before his eyes fell on the vase by her bedside and he strode over to it.
He pointed at the vase, frowned, and asked, "What is this?"
“It’s a vase bestowed by the Emperor.” Xie Qingran looked at the divine physician: “Is there a problem?”
The divine doctor took a deep breath, then picked up the vase and examined it carefully before saying, "When the kiln was fired, some blood-dried grass was mixed in and placed here. It will absorb your blood and energy. If you eat it regularly, you will suffer from both blood and energy deficiency, and you will die along with your unborn child!"
What?
Xie Qingran never expected this vase to be so amazing!
"And now, how is the baby... how is the baby now?" Xie Qingran hurriedly covered her lower abdomen.
The doctor shook his head: "It's still early, so there's no harm to the child. I didn't notice anything wrong when I took the pulse just now, so it shouldn't affect the lady. But this thing can't be used anymore."
"I understand, thank you so much, doctor."
"Yu Huan, make sure the divine physician leaves properly!"
Xie Qingran gritted her teeth, trying her best to appear normal.
She knew all along that it would be very difficult for this child to be born, but she never expected that these people would be so cruel as to use such a method to get rid of the child.
These bastards deserve to die!
Seeing Xie Qingran like this, the divine doctor sighed helplessly before turning around and walking outside.
Xie Qingran was the only one in the room. She sat there quietly, looking at the vase on the table, her mind racing. Soon, Xie Qingran realized that the matter was probably more serious than she had thought!
