Chapter 171 Xi Qingtong is pregnant
Xi Qingtong had not returned to the Song family for two consecutive days. She had been enjoying the allowance she had received as a boudoir in the Xi family and naturally did not want to leave.
She thought of using this to provoke Song Yunhe's anger, and when she returned to the Song family, Song Yunhe would naturally be eager for her to switch back with Xi Qingwu.
It was not until noon on the third day that a dish of fashionable sea bass was served on the table.
Steamed sea bass is the most delicious, and Xi Qingtong has loved eating this dish in previous years. But today, when she smelled the sea bass on the table, she felt a little nauseous, which was unusual for her.
"How dare you bring up this fish even though it's broken?"
Jinzhu was surprised and leaned in to smell it. "No, this fish tastes delicious."
Xi Qingtong's expression changed instantly, and the silver chopsticks in her hand fell onto the porcelain plate with a clang. She suddenly covered her chest, trying to suppress the strange feeling.
Jin Zhu was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Madam...could it be you?"
However, before she could finish her words, Xi Qingtong sternly stopped her, "Shut up!" She looked around, confirming that only her trusted maids were in the hall, and then lowered her voice, "Don't make a sound!"
A flash of panic and ruthlessness flashed in Xi Qingtong's eyes. If she was really pregnant, and the pregnancy was revealed, it would be difficult to sever the ties between her and Song Yunhe, let alone exchange them for her twin sisters.
"Go and ask for it quietly..." Xi Qingtong grabbed Jinzhu's wrist with such force that the maid frowned in pain, "No, no..."
How could he secretly invite a doctor to the Xi family? He would definitely be discovered.
She sat down again, her heart in turmoil. If she really had a child, would this plan still continue?
If she is really pregnant and is discovered, even if her mother and brother have been persuaded by her, they will immediately change their minds. After all, confusing the royal bloodline is a serious crime.
But, does it mean that I have to bear the name of Xi Qingwu for the rest of my life, be a wife of the Song family, and always be suppressed by Xi Qingwu?
"No, I need to stay calm. What if...what if it's not?"
Xi Qingtong took a few deep breaths, suppressed the panic in her heart, and instructed her two personal maids, "Take this plate of sea bass away and eat it. Don't eat too much."
After giving this instruction, Xi Qingtong picked up her chopsticks again and ate the meal mouthful by mouthful according to her usual appetite. Even if the food tasted like chewing wax, she was unwilling to reveal any flaws.
After dinner, Xi Qingtong said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng as usual and left the Xi family, saying that he was going back to persuade Song Yunhe.
But after leaving Xi's house, she did not go straight to the Song family. Instead, she took her maid to a clinic and even told the coachman that Song Yunhe was sick and she wanted to buy some medicine.
Everything was perfect, but once she entered the clinic, her steps quickened.
Sitting in the private room of the clinic, Xi Qingtong, wearing a curtain, had cold fingertips and a layer of fine cold sweat on his palms.
She stared at the doctor's fingers on her wrist, her heart beating like a drum, almost bursting through her chest.
"Madam..." The old doctor withdrew his hand, stroked his beard, and a smile appeared on his face. "Congratulations, this is a positive pulse. Although it is a little shallow, the fetus is stable."
For a moment, Xi Qingtong's breathing stagnated and there was a buzzing in his ears, as if a bolt of thunder had struck.
She’s pregnant… She’s actually pregnant!
Her vision went dark, as if she were trapped in the Song family, bearing Xi Qingwu's name, and being Song Yunhe's wife for the rest of her life. She had to watch Xi Qingwu flourish while she was always inferior to her...
No! She can't accept it!
"Doctor..." She looked up suddenly, "I don't want this baby!"
This child came at a really bad time. You can't blame her for being cruel. It was really not the right time. If he had come half a month earlier, she wouldn't have thought about anything.
How could it be possible, after she had already made the decision?
The old doctor was stunned and frowned: "Madam, please think twice. This... abortion is harmful to your health." He did not ask why. This wealthy family has too many secrets, and it would not be good for him to know too much.
"I know, but give me some medicine to abort it!" Xi Qingtong spoke each word clearly, with sadness and fierceness in his eyes.
The doctor was frightened by her tone and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he sighed and said, "If Madam insists on doing so, then I will prescribe the medicine."
"Stop talking nonsense and prescribe the medicine!" Xi Qingtong interrupted him, his fingertips trembling slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm.
She couldn't hesitate, absolutely couldn't hesitate! This child couldn't be kept!
The two little maids standing at the door were trembling as they listened. What kind of master did they follow? It would be fine if she just took away other people's children, but why did she not even let her own children go?
But they are just maids and cannot make decisions for their masters.
Soon, a package of abortion medicine and herbs for Song Yunhe were delivered. When the old doctor handed it to Xi Qingtong, he still had to say, "Madam, although you are still young, this abortion medicine is indeed harmful to your body and will affect future pregnancies. You should use it with caution."
Xi Qingtong nodded, but still took the medicine and left without showing any hesitation. Seeing this, the old doctor could only shake his head, saying that he had done his best.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the Song family, Xi Qingtong's fingers unconsciously touched her lower abdomen. It was still flat, but it had already conceived a life.
Her children...
This was her first child. Even if Xi Qingtong was cruel, she couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she kept this child...
Although Song Yunhe may blame her now, if she is willing to bow her head, he will forgive her willfulness and they can go back to the past... It seems not bad to take care of her husband and children and live a stable life like this?
But what about Xi Qingwu?
When she thought about how her twin sister was now the wife of a high and mighty prince, while she could only be a wife of the Song family, and even had to bow down to Xi Qingwu——
No! She won't give up!
She clenched the medicine bag tightly and her heart hardened again.
But at this moment, there seemed to be a subtle strange sensation in the abdomen, as if the unformed life was silently begging.
Xi Qingtong's heart trembled violently, and her eyes became hot.
Do you really want to abort it?
The carriage slowly stopped, and the driver said respectfully, "Madam, we're here."
Xi Qingtong took a deep breath, barely suppressing her chaotic thoughts, and stepped out of the car. However, as soon as she stepped into the Song Mansion, her steps suddenly froze.
Not far away, Dong Ning was wearing a brand new pink dress, with several silver hairpins in her hair, and accompanied by an unfamiliar little girl. This attire, this posture...
Xi Qingtong's pupils suddenly shrank, and a surge of anger rose from his heart.
Song Yunhe actually took Dong Ning as his concubine during the few days she was away from home?!
She stared at Dong Ning's smiling face, and the softness in her heart disappeared in an instant, replaced by overwhelming anger and sarcasm.
She was still hesitating. The other party had already openly taken a concubine without regard for her dignity. Why should she keep the child?
What is she hesitating about?
