With the intervention of the yamen runners, the two men worked together to restrain Shen Chang.
However, Zhou Erlang was injured on the face. In the chaos, Shen Chang also kicked Aunt Fang. Shen Tangning noticed that he was kicked in the stomach.
Seeing this unexpected scene, she suddenly felt like laughing.
Aunt Fang was sitting on the ground, clutching her stomach and wailing. Shen Xiwei was shocked and said, "Father, Aunt Fang has had a miscarriage. I beg you, Father, please get a doctor to take a look at her!"
Shen Chang, enraged, ignored her completely. Madam Shen, however, slowly said, "Go and fetch a doctor."
However, before she even arrived, Aunt Fang's lower body was already bleeding, and her skirt was stained with blood.
The first person to notice was Shen Xiwei. Her gaze fell on Aunt Fang's blood-stained skirt, her lips trembled, and she stared blankly, not daring to utter a sound.
Having experience, she knew all too well that this was a sign of miscarriage!
Instead, Aunt Fang seemed to sense something, her face pale as she looked down, and suddenly everything went black before her eyes. Her hands trembled as she cried out, "My child, my child..."
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Shen Xi's eyes widened, and she cried out, "Auntie! Auntie!"
This scene finally caught Shen Chang's attention. His indifferent expression changed several times, and he subconsciously took two steps forward.
Although the other woman's aunt harbored resentment, he still cared about the child!
At this moment, Shen Tangning suddenly looked away, unable to bear it any longer, and sighed softly, "Aunt Fang has been looking forward to this child for so many years, and it's only now that she's finally pregnant. If something were to happen to her, wouldn't it be a waste of her joy..."
Shen Chang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A storm raged in his heart. Yes, Aunt Fang's belly hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy for so many years, so why was she pregnant now?
He had just been diagnosed by the doctor with difficulty having children in the future, and coincidentally, Aunt Fang had just become pregnant before that!
A terrifying thought involuntarily popped into Shen Chang's mind—
Is this child really his?
Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they are very difficult to eradicate.
Looking at Aunt Fang, who was pale and unconscious, Shen Chang felt a surge of complex emotions.
After such a disgraceful incident, even if the child were to stay, he would become a laughingstock throughout Yanjing.
Rather than let this child be born and become a lifelong disgrace for him, it would be better to...
While waiting, Shen Chang paced back and forth at the door, his silhouette shrouded in shadow, looking strangely eerie.
"Where is the pregnant woman?" The midwife arrived late, her expression grave, and was about to enter when he suddenly stopped her.
"Midwife, please wait."
Shen Tangning gazed at the two people talking in hushed tones. The bright, scorching sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, turning into dazzling spots of light that danced in her eyes.
She slowly curled her lips, her expression cold and sarcastic.
...
Aunt Fang's child still couldn't be saved.
Shen Xiwei immediately hugged Aunt Fang and burst into tears. She was still unconscious and unaware of all this.
Moreover, she is accused of hiring someone to commit murder and will face imprisonment after waking up.
