That makes sense...
Shen Tangning pursed her lips and secretly made a mental note of it.
*
For several days in a row, business in Peach Blossom Village was good, and its reputation was spreading.
Seeing that things were gradually getting on track and the workshop was also getting under control, Shen Tangning reduced the frequency of traveling between the two places.
While she was living a prosperous life, things were in complete chaos at the Ningyuan Marquis's residence.
...
The day after Chi Jingyu stayed in Yun Que's room, Shen Xiwei learned the news, which made her very angry.
She bore him children, but he went and favored other women.
The sweet words spoken in the past have vanished in an instant. Shen Xiwei was naturally unwilling to accept this, so she went to question her. Chi Jingyu was annoyed by her aggressive questioning and lost his patience as well.
Even if she was his legal wife, she had no right to interfere with him sleeping with other women, let alone the fact that she was just a concubine.
The two argued and parted on bad terms.
Shen Xiwei sat in the chair, gave a bitter laugh, and said coldly, "Yulang, how could you be so heartless!"
A sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen, and she clutched her stomach, her face turning pale instantly.
Yu Zhu was alarmed: "Miss, please don't get angry, I'll go get a doctor!"
...
"The Yin energy is located in the lower body, causing weakness, dryness, and urgency. Your pregnancy is unstable!"
After the doctor finished speaking, Shen Xiwei's face turned pale: "How could this be?"
It's not like it's the first three months, how could it be this serious?
The doctor frowned: "During pregnancy, it is best to avoid excessive worry and emotional fluctuations. Auntie, please do not think too much. I will prescribe some medication to help prevent miscarriage."
What he didn't say was that these were clearly symptoms of threatened miscarriage, and even if she were lucky enough to give birth to the child, it would likely be born with congenital deficiencies.
Shen Xiwei's expression darkened: "Thank you for your help, doctor."
She gave him a meaningful look, and Yuzhu immediately slipped a heavy purse into the doctor's hand. The doctor knew perfectly well that she wanted him to keep the secret, and replied knowingly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
After seeing the doctor off, Shen Xiwei's eyes flickered uncertainly:
This child is her only hope now. If she can save him, all will be well; if she can't...
She always had to find a way out for herself.
The words of the Lady Hou also reached her ears:
After she gives birth, we'll send her away.
Although it was just a verbal threat, that's definitely what she was thinking.
Shen Xiwei's eyes were filled with coldness: This woman has been forcing her time and time again, so don't blame her for being impolite!
——
When Shen Tangning learned that Chi Jingyu had been approached by debt collectors, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.
"Is the truth about to come out so soon?"
She smiled slightly. There were some downsides to separating the family, but it was a pity she couldn't witness such a lively scene.
Beset by internal and external troubles, she wanted to see how Chi Jingyu would handle this situation.
