Xu Jiayue left after Xu Tingchuan returned to take care of Jin Rulan at the hospital.
Seeing Xu Tingchuan's furrowed brows, Ni Sitian helped him undress, hung up his coat on a hanger, and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"
"You guessed it too?" Xu Tingchuan didn't mention to Ni Sitian before leaving the hospital that someone else had done it. He looked back at his little wife, who seemed to be getting smarter and smarter.
"Nonsense, you suddenly became so serious about going back to the mansion, there must be something wrong." Ni Sitian glanced at Xu Tingchuan.
"So you haven't just gotten smarter, you've gotten to understand me better." Xu Tingchuan hugged Ni Sitian from behind, lowering his head to smell the fragrance of her hair, which calmed his restlessness and unease.
“I understand you and I’m smart.” Ni Sitian curled the corners of her mouth.
Xu Tingchuan chuckled softly and kissed her cheek.
Ni Sitian grasped the arm wrapped around her shoulder, turned around to face Xu Tingchuan, and looked up seriously, asking, "What exactly have you found out?"
Xu Tingchuan's smile faded, and he became serious, shaking his head: "Mom has never liked others touching her things. Very few people can enter her room. I have already questioned them individually, and there is nothing suspicious."
“If it wasn’t done by the housekeeper, the medication might have been switched before it even entered the house. This kind of abortion medication is easy to buy; you can find it at any pharmacy,” Ni Sitian said after thinking for a moment.
Xu Tingchuan had also considered this, but when he went to look at the bottle, the folic acid in it was...
"Could it be the bottle I gave to Mom?" Ni Sitian stared wide-eyed at Xu Tingchuan.
She had been in a coma for a while, and later, worried that the baby might not be getting enough nutrition, she consulted a doctor. The doctor suggested that she could take folic acid supplements during the first three months of her pregnancy, so she continued to take them until she was 12 weeks pregnant.
After her first prenatal checkup came back normal, she stopped eating it and left it untouched. When she found out her mother-in-law was pregnant, she gave it to her.
"Is it really the bottle I gave to Mom?!" Ni Sitian grabbed Xu Tingchuan's arm, her pupils shrinking slightly.
Xu Tingchuan pursed his lips, nodded, and supported Ni Sitian's waist with his hand, saying in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with you. You didn't drug her. I can only say..."
"They might be after the baby in my belly!" Ni Sitian's face turned pale. If the medicine hadn't been switched after entering the mansion, it must have been switched while it was still in her hands. She was lucky that she stopped taking the medicine before she could take it, and then gave it to her mother-in-law, who suffered for her.
"Don't worry too much, it might not be that simple." Xu Tingchuan gently patted Ni Sitian's back. "Maybe I overlooked something when I was questioning her. I'll go again tomorrow."
Ni Sitian's face drained of color, and she nodded with her eyes lowered, it was unclear whether she had taken Xu Tingchuan's words to heart.
"Are you hungry? Shall I make you some dumplings?" Xu Tingchuan gently brushed her loose hair behind her ear and asked softly.
With her mind preoccupied, Ni Sitian nodded casually and walked to the sofa to sit down.
If the medicine had already been switched while she was in her hands, then if she gave the medicine bottle to her mother-in-law... wouldn't that mean she harmed the child?
Ni Sitian clasped her hands tightly together, her face growing paler with each thought.
Xu Tingchuan went into the kitchen to cook dumplings, his brows still furrowed. This matter needed to be clarified.
Whether he harmed his wife or his mother, this person must be brought to justice.
