"Shen Xiwei miscarried?"
Shen Tangning's eyes widened in surprise. Although she had a premonition, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. It had only been a few days since they last met.
However, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising; the longer it's delayed, the greater the damage to the body.
She was just a little surprised that Shen Xiwei could actually make this decision.
Xueqing whispered, "Aunt Qiu said it was related to Yun Que, and the young master even beat her for it. I heard her injuries were quite serious!"
Since that day, Aunt Qiu has been trying to curry favor with Shen Tangning and has been secretly in contact with her. Shen Tangning can find out what happens in the Marquis's mansion as soon as possible, but she has not yet expressed her opinion.
Shen Tangning smiled sarcastically: "That Aunt Yun has suffered an undeserved disaster. Given my second sister's temperament, if Yun Que really caused her miscarriage, it would be far more serious than just a beating."
Therefore, this play could only be directed and performed by Shen Xiwei himself.
Granny Qin's eyes flickered, and she said with an ambiguous expression, "Second Miss is quite ruthless. With such a decisive decision, Miss must be wary!"
That's right, Shen Xiwei's pregnancy wouldn't go smoothly, which was exactly what Shen Tangning expected.
She certainly wasn't so kind as to give Shen Xiwei a child. Those folk remedies for conceiving were problematic to begin with. The secret recipe had been passed down from within the palace, and the concubines of the previous dynasty would try almost anything to conceive.
Of course, offspring obtained through improper methods will also come at a price.
The trade-off is that pregnant women cannot tolerate stress and should avoid large emotional fluctuations, otherwise they are prone to miscarriage.
Even if one manages to make it to the point of childbirth, the delivery itself can be extremely dangerous, resulting in either the death of both mother and child or the loss of only one.
The children were born with many congenital deficiencies, just like the fourth prince, who was bedridden and destined to die young.
She had carefully prepared this grand gift for Shen Xiwei, wanting to see how she would choose, but she never expected the other party to be so decisive.
The baby was seven months old and already fully formed.
"Who can she blame? She can only blame her greed. She's still young and will have her own children sooner or later, but she was too eager to achieve her goals..."
Shen Tangning lowered her eyelashes slightly, concealing the dark color in her eyes.
She carries the deep-seated hatred of the Xie family's blood feud, and her hands are destined to never be clean.
Xue Qing continued with great enthusiasm, "There's something else, which might make Miss happy to hear. The young master must have had a huge emotional rollercoaster and fainted from the shock. He hasn't woken up yet! The Lady of the Marquis is extremely worried and is forcing herself to get up despite her illness to run around taking care of him. The entire Marquis's mansion is in complete chaos!"
"Chi Jingyu is unconscious?" Shen Tangning looked up in surprise, then smiled and said, "This is an unexpected surprise."
——
"Why can't he wake up? Doctor, please take a closer look!"
Lady Hou's face was pale as she stared intently at the person on the bed. She had only been out of the sight for a short while, but the entire mansion had changed!
The doctor wiped the sweat from his brow and replied cautiously, "Madam, the young master's pulse is indeed perfectly normal."
"If there's nothing wrong, why can't the person wake up?" Lady Hou persisted.
The doctor became increasingly cautious: "He may have been traumatized and is having a nightmare. He won't wake up for a while. Perhaps I could prescribe some medicine first..."
Lady Hou could tell that this was just an excuse, and she swallowed back the reprimand that was on the tip of her tongue: "Thank you for your trouble, go and prepare the medicine."
As soon as the doctor left, Lady Hou turned on the servants in the room, her face contorted with rage: "What are you all doing! So many of you, how could you just stand by and watch the young master get into trouble? If anything happens to the young master, I'll make you pay!"
The servants were trembling with fear, holding their breath and not daring to answer.
Who would have thought?
He was perfectly fine before, but suddenly he fell into a coma!
Lady Hou then summoned Concubine Qiu. Seeing Lady Hou's angry expression, Concubine Qiu sensed something was wrong and forced a smile, saying, "Madam..."
"Smack!"
