pity……
Shen Cang's plan was stillborn at the very first step.
The reason is that Jiang Wan miscarried!
That night, Shen Cang was half-asleep when he was woken up by someone who said that Aunt Jiang had an accident.
He put on a coat and went toward her.
During dinner, he drank a little wine. Jiang Wan was afraid that he would lose control if he got excited, so she didn't let him rest in her room. When he rushed over, he saw the servants taking out the blood-stained bedding to wash.
Shen Cang suddenly stumbled.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and caught the door, he probably would have fallen straight down the steps.
Upon entering the room, a faint smell of blood could be detected.
The curtains were half-drawn.
Jiang Wan lay on the bed, her face pale, her eyes still glistening with tears.
Upon seeing Shen Cang, the tears she had just held back surged forth again: "Husband..."
"I'm so sorry, I couldn't save our child."
"He was so young."
As she spoke, she broke down in tears.
Shen Cang also looked sorrowful. Although he felt sorry for Jiang Wan's plight, he was also slightly dissatisfied. He thought that he treated her like an ancestor all day long, but what about her? She couldn't even keep her child!
When he first saw Jiang Wan crying, he patiently tried to comfort her.
But seeing that she wouldn't stop crying, I started to get annoyed.
Whether Jiang Wan sensed something or finally remembered the most important thing, she said, "My husband took my pulse two days ago and said it was stable."
"But after dinner tonight, I don't know why, I suddenly had a persistent abdominal pain."
"Just as I was about to send someone to fetch my husband, I discovered that I was bleeding from my lower body..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cang frowned even more deeply: "What exactly happened?"
Jiang Wan just shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
Shen Cang thought to himself, her body had always been healthy, and she was unharmed even after being beaten by Sun Shi a few days ago, so how could she have miscarried for no reason?
Something's definitely fishy!
Based on his years of experience working in the Imperial Hospital, he deduced that someone must have been deliberately trying to harm the child in her womb.
Therefore, the investigation began with their diet.
Who would have thought—
Every check is accurate!
Her fertility-enhancing medicine had been tampered with; one of the ingredients had been replaced. Although they looked similar, their effects were completely different.
Shen Cang was furious.
He never imagined that someone would dare to harm his unborn son in his own home, right under his nose!
He first summoned the cook for questioning, and then interrogated the people who served Jiang Wan.
After investigating and going through all the possibilities, the problem was found to point directly to Shen Guangzong.
Because his servant had gone to the kitchen when the cook was preparing medicine for Jiang Wan to help her conceive, and lingered there for quite a while.
At first, the servant denied it, but under Shen Cang's coercion and enticement, he finally couldn't resist and confessed.
"...Replying to your question, sir, I did indeed switch the medicine, but it was all at the eldest young master's instruction!"
"I had no choice."
He looked troubled and said fearfully, "The young master said that if I don't obey his orders, he will accuse me of being a thief and stealing things from the manor, and hand me over to the authorities so that I can face legal trouble."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan covered her mouth with her hand, looking extremely shocked: "It's actually the eldest young master?!"
"But...but he doesn't know medicine, how would he know which medicine to use?"
The servant shook his head and said, "I don't know about that."
"That medicine was given to me directly by the eldest young master. I don't know where he got it from."
Seeing the deep thought in Shen Cang's eyes, Jiang Wan tentatively asked, "Husband, could there be... some misunderstanding in this?"
Shen Cang flew into a rage: "What misunderstanding could there be!"
"Oh, right!" the servant added, "Not only the aunt's fertility-enhancing medicine, but also the one that made the eldest young master when Madam Sun ran away from Ningxiang Courtyard that day."
"First, he sent people to spread rumors in front of Madam Sun, and then he dug a dog hole in the wall, all in an attempt to use Madam Sun to get rid of the child in his aunt's womb."
"The idea of changing the medicine only came about because it failed."
"I have told you everything I know, please forgive me, sir."
Frankly speaking, Shen Cang had no time to punish the servant who had switched medicine and harmed people and then betrayed his master. At this moment, he was filled with anger and hatred towards his son, Shen Guangzong.
Good, good, good! This is the kind of good son he raised!
Shen Cang suddenly stood up and went to Zhuyun Courtyard with a fierce aura.
Upon reaching the door, he kicked it open with a loud bang, startling Shen Guangzong from his sleep.
Without even opening his eyes, he frowned and roared, "You idiot, are you tired of living?"
He was woken up just as he fell asleep!
Shen Cang was already furious, and now that he heard Shen Guangzong curse him as a "stupid thing," even though he knew that Shen Guangzong wasn't cursing him, the fire in his heart still surged up.
He stormed into the inner room, yanked off the covers, and dragged Shen Guangzong off the bed to the floor.
But Shen Guangzong was now like a "beauty lamp," how could he be treated so violently? His buttocks hurt so much that his whole body felt like it was going to split open, and he couldn't even scream with his mouth wide open.
"You bastard!" Shen Cang grabbed the feather duster stuck in the Ru kiln vase and lashed it at Shen Guangzong repeatedly. "You inhuman beast, why didn't the authorities beat you to death back then?"
That's a really harsh statement.
Shen Guangzong has been pampered by his family since birth. Being disliked by others is just a play by Shen Qiyin and the others. I never thought that it would be his turn as the eldest son!
