The woman seemed surprised that Jiang Jiuniang had arrived so quickly; her eyes darted around, and she appeared somewhat timid.
Jiang Jiuniang's aura is so imposing that it can put pressure on people.
However, in the eyes of others, this was seen as the deep-seated fear that a mistress feels when she sees the legal wife.
"Wow, she's so pregnant and still out doing business. It must be tough for her. Quickly find her a chair to sit on."
Jiang Jiuniang seemed to care a lot about the woman, and her maidservant did indeed find a stool for her, gesturing for her to sit down.
But the woman looked at Jiang Jiuniang with great suspicion and distrust.
Everyone thought Jiang Jiuniang was out of her mind. They had come to make a scene, yet she was still able to calmly sit down and talk to them. Wouldn't that make her a laughing stock if word got out?
I heard that Jiang Jiuniang used to train soldiers in the military camp, but where is the air of a training soldier in this?
Many people who were hoping to see a spectacle are now somewhat disappointed.
The stool had already been brought over, and Jiang Jiuniang didn't care whether she sat down or not; as long as she didn't make things difficult for her.
She smiled and said to the woman, "You know today is Lord Qin's wedding banquet. To cause trouble and bring bad luck at someone's wedding is rather immoral, don't you think?"
The woman was initially quite assertive. She even thought that if Jiang Jiuniang made trouble for her, she could cause a scene on the spot. Anyway, with so many people here, Jiang Jiuniang wouldn't dare to really touch her.
But Jiang Jiuniang was very gentle, always smiling, and spoke very politely, so she was impossible to deal with.
"you……"
She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Jiang Jiuniang continued, "Speaking of which, this is a matter for our Lu family. It was wrong of you to come to the Qin family and cause trouble. You've offended both Lord Qin and his wife. Lu Baichuan and Lord Qin are as close as brothers. Even if you force Lu Baichuan to divorce me and marry you, do you think you'll have a good life?"
“Your belly is already so big. If you keep making a scene like this, you and the baby will only get hurt. No matter who the father is, the child is your own. If something happens, only you two will get hurt. If you trust me, go back first. If you trust me, go to the Lu family tomorrow to find me. If you don’t trust me, you can bring people to the Lu family’s door and make a scene. I won’t let you make a wasted trip.”
Jiang Jiuniang spoke with a degree of sincerity. Qin Jian and Peng Yuan had worked so hard together for so long, and if this woman ruined their wedding banquet, they would be angry for the rest of their lives.
In any case, it's all aimed at the Lu family, so that others won't suffer as well.
"Why should I believe you? If I go back tonight, who knows if I'll even live to see tomorrow morning?"
The woman was quite shrewd; having finally managed to sneak in, she didn't want to leave so easily.
But whether it was a coincidence or not, she really felt some discomfort in her stomach, a dull ache, and if it continued like this, something bad might happen.
No, her child absolutely cannot be harmed. She has nothing left but this one child; she must save the child.
"Don't worry, with so many people watching, how could I let anything happen to you? However, your family might take advantage of this opportunity to try and kill you and harm me, but I will send people to protect you."
Jiang Jiuniang spoke with such sincerity that no one else had a chance to interject.
Everyone thought Jiang Jiuniang would have a fit of anger on the spot, but who knew she would handle it so easily?
The woman was deeply moved as she listened. She herself had similar concerns. Although the other party had offered her benefits, in the end, she was just a pawn, and it would be incredibly easy for them to take her life.
On the contrary, now that she has appeared in front of everyone, if something happens, Jiang Jiuniang will be implicated. Therefore, Jiang Jiuniang will try her best to protect herself.
Everyone was waiting for her to make a decision.
"Okay, if you won't make things difficult for me, I'll listen to you."
She took a deep breath and gave Jiang Jiuniang an answer.
In the crowd, some people were so angry that they gritted their teeth. This good-for-nothing was actually persuaded so quickly!
Fortunately, he still has a backup plan. Tonight, neither Lu Baichuan nor Qin Jian can escape!
Jiang Jiuniang nodded in satisfaction, gave a wink to the maid beside her, and the maid personally stepped forward to help her leave.
Just when everyone thought the farce was over, the woman suddenly started experiencing severe abdominal pain, and her face turned pale instantly.
"it hurts……"
The woman was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. If it weren't for Jiang Jiuniang's maid supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
Jiang Jiuniang also noticed something was wrong, so she stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and felt her pulse.
"You've been poisoned."
Jiang Jiuniang immediately spoke up, reaching into her sleeve to take something out—actually, she took out an antidote pill from her spatial storage and handed it over.
"If you trust me, take this medicine."
The woman was in so much pain that she was almost losing consciousness. A certain possibility flashed through her mind, and she felt a chill run through her body.
Looking at Jiang Jiuniang in front of him, as if she had found a lifeline, she took the medicine without hesitation and swallowed it, looking at her with pleading eyes: "Save my child...please!"
After saying that, she could no longer hold on and fainted.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Jiuniang immediately ordered, "Quickly take the person back to the Lu family, don't let them cause any more bad luck here."
There's a carriage right outside the door, so it's easy to go back. If this person can be saved, that would be fine, but I'm afraid of losing two lives, which would be a huge misfortune for Qin Jian and his wife.
Her original intention was to check on the pregnant woman's condition while she was in the carriage, and then perform a cesarean section to deliver the baby once they arrived home. This way, both of their lives could be saved; otherwise, neither of them would be safe.
But some people in the crowd were unwilling to let them leave so easily, saying, "Everyone knows that you are not only a good doctor, but also skilled in using poison. You might have poisoned them yourself, and you're making excuses to take them away. You clearly want to kill them!"
"Yes, this woman is so pitiful. She came here seeking justice, but she was harmed like this. How pitiful!"
"The person is in this state, how can we save them? They probably want to find a stinky ditch to dump them in!"
"For a general's mansion to be so petty, treating a woman in labor like this, is truly shameful!"
...
Once one person spoke up, others immediately echoed, and for a moment they refused to let Jiang Jiuniang take the person away.
Seeing that his sister-in-law was still thinking about him and Peng Yuan at this point, Qin Jian knew that these people were after him and Lu Baichuan. He said directly, "Sister-in-law, there are plenty of rooms in the mansion. Saving people is the priority. Stay here. I'll have someone guard you."
Lu Baichuan had sobered up considerably. Seeing this scene, he didn't want to say anything more. He drew his sword from his waist, glared at the people around him, and said, "Tonight, no one is allowed to leave."
He'll accept being harmed, but if you harm his brother and wife, then there's nothing more to say, just fight to the death.
