Xu Qianqian, her eyes red, gritted her teeth and said:
"I... I won't let that bitch Lian Yao get away with this. Once I'm healed, I'll go out and tear her apart with my own hands. I'll make her pay for my child's life, pay for her life!"
Seeing this, Madam Sun quickly supported Xu Qianqian's hands, which were flailing about, and comforted her:
"Good sister, the child is gone, so be it. It's too late to be sad now. It's just a pity about our previous plans and how you've suffered because of it."
As she spoke, Madam Sun glanced at Xu Qianqian's bedside and saw the sachet she had given her placed beside her pillow. Her face darkened, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe away Xu Qianqian's tears.
“Now that the child is gone, it’s no use blaming Lianyao anymore. The child can’t just come back out of thin air. Try to think more positively. We can only wait until you’ve recovered before we can make a proper plan.”
As she spoke, Madam Sun retrieved the handkerchief, along with the sachet from beside the bed, and tucked it into her sleeve. Having achieved her goal, she didn't want to linger any longer.
"My dear sister, please don't cry anymore. The doctor said you should rest more and not worry. I don't want to bother you for too long. You are weak today, so go to sleep first. I will come to see you again tomorrow."
Without waiting for Xu Qianqian's reply, she got up and walked outside. Just as she reached the courtyard, she bumped into Ning Chunlin, who was rushing over. Sun Shi quickly suppressed her smile and replaced it with a worried expression as she looked at Ning Chunlin.
"Chunlin, I just went to see Aunt Xu. She's heartbroken right now, and I managed to coax her to sleep. You should come see her again tomorrow so as not to disturb her rest."
Ning Chunlin looked towards the room and nodded, saying:
"Since she's asleep, I won't go in and disturb her. By the way, how is she doing? What did the doctor say?"
Mrs. Sun sighed.
"Oh dear, the doctor said that Aunt Xu is getting old, and she finally managed to get pregnant but lost the baby. She will never be able to have children again. I haven't told her about this yet, because I'm afraid it will be too much of a blow to her. If she falls ill again, it will be a real problem."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chunlin murmured to himself:
"How could this be, how could this happen..."
Seeing this, Madam Sun quickly stepped forward, took Ning Chunlin's hand, and comforted him:
"Chunlin, don't worry. It's a fact that none of us want to see that Aunt Xu can't have children right now. Fortunately, you still have your daughter Ningxin. If you want to have another son, you can have one with Miss Lianyao. That way, she can marry into the Prince's Mansion legitimately."
Ning Chunlin looked at Madam Sun with approval after hearing this.
"You are so considerate of me. It's a pity that Lianyao is infertile. Her body has long been ruined. If she could have children, there would be children all over the Prince's mansion by now."
Madam Sun naturally knew that Lianyao was infertile, otherwise she wouldn't have said that.
“Chunlin, I can tell that Aunt Xu harbors resentment towards Miss Lianyao. It’s understandable. She was originally looking forward to becoming a mother, but now she’s lost her child because of Miss Lianyao’s push. She must be heartbroken.”
As she spoke, Madam Sun sighed.
"Sigh, for now, we can only ask Miss Lianyao to avoid her, lest Aunt Xu do something drastic to Miss Lianyao. Now you are caught in the middle, which is the most difficult situation. What will you do when Aunt Xu asks you to stand up for her?"
Ning Chunlin frowned upon hearing this.
"I know Lianyao didn't mean any harm. The two of them started arguing because of me. I was standing nearby at the time. Lianyao just wanted to push Qianqian away to leave the yard, but she didn't expect that the push would accidentally knock Qianqian down."
Ning Chunlin sighed, then looked at Xu Qianqian's door and continued:
"But no one expected that Qianqian's baby was so fragile, and it was gone in just one moment."
Mrs. Sun shook her head helplessly.
“Chunlin, I know that the child is most heartbroken now that you have lost him. Right now, Aunt Xu is unwell and in a bad mood. I’m afraid that if you come, you will only be met with her disdain. Sigh, you are the one who has the hardest job.”
Ning Chunlin frowned and pondered for a moment after hearing this, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.
"In that case, it's best if I visit Qianqian's courtyard less often, lest she see me and get angry too. I'll wait a few days until she's recovered and her anger has subsided before visiting her."
As Sun watched Ning Chunlin's retreating figure, she couldn't help but sneer. She knew Ning Chunlin's character best; when it came to selfishness, he was second to none.
Now that Xu Qianqian has miscarried because of him, he's even afraid that she'll take her anger out on him and won't even show his face. There are probably very few men like him in the world.
Thinking about this, Madam Sun felt that her previous idea of making him cover the rear was correct. If she really had miscarried today, Ning Chunlin would probably be the same.
Sun shook her head helplessly and went to her own courtyard.
Jiang Yuwei had gotten enough sleep and was calculating the time to go and check on Xu Qianqian's courtyard. She didn't want to get involved in these matters, but Xu Qianqian had caused trouble for the princess.
Now everyone in the manor knows that I am the messenger for the Princess. If I don't go and check on Xu Qianqian, who knows what the servants in the manor will say about the Princess.
With that in mind, Jiang Yuwei got up, quickly washed up, and then took Xia Yue to Xu Qianqian's courtyard.
Jiang Yuwei had just reached the door when she heard Xu Qianqian shouting and yelling inside.
"Get out, all of you get out! Let the young master come! Why isn't he taking care of me? Doesn't he care about our child?"
"Bring that bitch Lian Yao here, and make her pay for my child's life!"
"Drink the medicine, drink the medicine, all you do is make me drink medicine. Will my child come back if I drink this medicine?"
As soon as Jiang Yuwei opened the door, she saw a medicine bowl heading straight for her face. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and pulled Xia Yue aside, thus avoiding a serious head injury.
"Have you made enough of a scene? If you keep acting like this, the child won't come back!"
Jiang Yuwei said coldly.
Xu Qianqian's face immediately turned angry when she saw that the person who came was Jiang Yuwei.
"What are you doing here? You just want to see me make a fool of myself! You're up to no good!"
Jiang Yuwei sneered and walked to Xu Qianqian's bedside.
"Whether I meant well or not, I still came to see you after I learned you had a miscarriage. That's so much better than your Chunlin brother."
When Xu Qianqian heard Jiang Yuwei mention Ning Chunlin, she couldn't hold back the grievances in her heart.
"Waaah, Brother Chunlin must have been held back by that slut Lianyao, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped coming to see me. Waaah, this was our child, and now it's gone. He must be heartbroken."
Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but sneer at Xu Qianqian's appearance.
"If he really cared about you, he would have come to be with you long ago. He's probably lying in some girl's arms right now."
