Chapter 265 You Hate Me, Don't You?
The renowned doctor walked in carrying a bowl of medicine. Upon seeing this scene, he immediately felt terrible. He strode over, pulled Xiao Jue away, and his face was full of reproach.
Only then did Xiao Jue belatedly realize what was happening. Looking at Xie Qingran's pale face, he felt a pang of guilt: "Qingran, I'm sorry, I..."
Where are the children?
When Xie Qingran opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"The baby was premature, a little small, and a little ugly, but it doesn't matter, he's alive, he's alive."
Xiao Jue smiled gently and waved to the outside.
Immediately afterwards, the wet nurse came in carrying two children.
These two children were originally twins, and they were premature, so when held in my arms they looked about the size of kittens, and they were both sleeping soundly.
Just as Xiao Jue said, he really was rather ugly.
His face was wrinkled, and you couldn't even make out his eyebrows and eyes.
However, Xie Qingran felt a natural fondness for the two children when she saw them, and even felt a lump in her throat. She reached out and tentatively touched the two little monsters.
"Are you alright?"
"Are all the children alright? All healthy?"
"Are you alright?"
Xie Qingran's tears fell uncontrollably. The child, who had been fast asleep, seemed to sense his mother's presence and unconsciously reached out his little hand, squeezing Xie Qingran's fingers tightly. For the first time, the mother and child were connected.
Seeing this, Xie Qingran's heart softened even more.
"Don't worry, although the child is a little weak now, I have checked him carefully and he is all healthy and can eat and sleep well."
"In a month at most, she will be just like any other baby, fair-skinned and beautiful."
Seeing Xie Qingran sobbing uncontrollably, the doctor quickly offered some words of comfort and explained the true situation of the two children.
Sure enough, Xie Qingran felt even more heartbroken after hearing these words: "It's all my fault. It's my fault as a mother that they had to come out of my belly early. My babies, it's okay. Mother will definitely protect you. Mother will love you very, very much."
"Take good care of my child. Take the baby downstairs first." Xie Qingran knew that the baby was still very young and did nothing but eat and sleep, so there was no way to have much interaction with him.
Xie Qingran took a deep breath and drank the herbal medicine and ginseng soup. She finally regained a lot of her energy.
She looked at Xiao Yanran, reached out and gently touched her cheek: "Were you scared? Were you scared?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, sob sob!"
“When you were giving birth, they came into our yard and killed and burned people. I wanted to protect you, but no one was willing to help.”
"Sister-in-law, I'm really worried about you."
Murder and arson were no big deal to Xiao Yanran; Xie Qingran's safety was the most important thing.
Seeing the child crying so pitifully, Xie Qingran felt a surge of relief. She smiled gently, leaned forward, kissed the child, and said softly, "It's alright, your sister-in-law is fine now, isn't she?"
"Alright, alright, you haven't been studying properly these past few days, you must have fallen behind on your studies."
"Your sister-in-law is alright now, you should leave quickly."
Xiao Jue waited for a long time, only to find that these little rascals were really too clingy.
He was in a hurry to talk to Xie Qingran, so he simply chased all the little brats away.
Seeing this, the children were naturally indignant, but Qin, being an experienced woman, still forcibly took all three children away.
Now, only Xie Qingran and Xiao Jue remained in the previously noisy room.
The two women locked eyes, and Xie Qingran spoke first: "Who is it? Who wants to harm me?"
“I have already captured the person. It was done by the Imperial Concubine’s wet nurse in collusion with Zhao Yuanqi.”
What? Zhao Yuanqi?
Xie Qingran paused for a moment when she heard the name, then said, "Zhao Yuanqi isn't even in the capital right now. How did he manage to do this?"
"He paid money to bribe people inside and outside the mansion, and hid the old woman among the midwives, which is why she wasn't discovered."
"Thank goodness, Qingran, I almost never saw you again."
Xiao Jue embraced her again. This time, he didn't use any force; he simply held Xie Qingran close. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally began to settle down little by little.
Feeling Xiao Jue's body trembling, Xie Qingran gently hugged him: "Thank goodness, thank goodness you're here with me, Xiao Jue. Our child is safe and sound, and I'm safe and sound too. Everything was alright, thank goodness!"
"What's good about it?"
"Do you know you've slept for three days?"
Seeing that Xie Qingran could still smile, Xiao Jue couldn't help but tear up.
"Why are you crying?"
Xie Qingran gently wiped away his tears.
"You're a father now, you can't cry anymore, understand?"
Xiao Jue could no longer hold back. He hugged Xie Qingran, buried his head in her shoulder, and cried out in pain.
For the past three days, Xiao Jue had been under immense mental stress and hadn't had a proper rest. Now that he could finally relax, he could finally hold Xie Qingran and get a good night's sleep.
After Xiao Jue fell asleep, Xie Qingran quietly got out of bed and sat down on a chair next to him, frowning as she looked at Baozhu: "Are you stupid? I told you not to rush at me in situations like this, why did you still do it?"
"Miss, she's going to kill you." Baozhu looked at Xie Qingran with a worried expression. "What will you do if I don't come?"
Helpless, Xie Qingran took her hand and said softly, "But your life is also a life, and it's very important, Baozhu. If I live and you die, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Baozhu cried even louder: "Miss, I'm scared, I'm so scared! I thought you were really going to be beaten to death! Thank goodness, thank goodness the Duke rushed in."
"Where is that old woman?" Xie Qingran asked, her face dark.
Upon hearing this, Baozhu frowned and said sullenly, "You just gave birth three days ago, you can't worry about these things, Miss. The Duke will naturally take care of these matters, please don't worry about them, okay? I beg you, please?"
"Oh no, take her to the side hall, I need to see her."
Xie Qingran took a deep breath, then struggled to her feet and walked towards the next room.
After three days without food or water, Xie Qingran was also on the verge of her limit. She just quietly looked at the old woman kneeling on the ground, covered in wounds, and smiled.
"You hate me, don't you?"
The old woman raised her head, looked at Xie Qingran, and spat fiercely!
