"Weiwei! Don't be impulsive!" Xie Yuchuan was so scared when he saw Chen Wei's actions that he almost lost his soul.
His heart was being squeezed by a big hand.
He wanted to get closer, wanted to rush up and snatch away Chen Wei's scissors, but when he met Chen Wei's eyes full of tenacity, he didn't dare to get any closer.
If Weiwei's child was still alive, Xie Yuchuan wouldn't mind protecting him.
But the current situation is!
Xie Yuchuan had already killed his first child with his own hands, and now he had to save this one, Aunt Zhao, no matter what.
For a man of integrity, women are just objects. If he loses one, he can buy another one. But children are different. If he has a son, he will be the one who supports the family.
He pleaded and persuaded Shen Wei in panic.
But Chen Wei still stood there indifferently, his eyes fixed on the stunned Qin Shuyu: "Qin Shuyu, the world is like this. The rules all treat women as pregnant puppets."
"But ask yourself, do you think this is right? It has always been this way, so is it right?"
"Just say you want to protect Aunt Zhao, and I, Chen Wei, will stand right here and stop everyone for you."
"You said to protect the child."
"I'm leaving now. This matter ends here. Just pretend I never tried to stop me."
It's too late.
Aunt Zhao, who was lying on the bed, raised her eyelids with difficulty. She tried her best to open her eyes and look towards the door, but she could only fall into a deep sleep due to excessive blood loss.
Suddenly...
Is it an illusion?
She seemed to hear Qin Shuyu struggling to speak the first words that went against worldly rules, under everyone's gaze: "Protect Aunt Zhao."
"Madam has ordered, protect Aunt Zhao!"
"Quickly take the child by force!"
“Hurry up!”
After saying this, Qin Shuyu seemed to have drained all her strength from her body. She didn't dare to look at Xie Yuchuan's puzzled eyes, nor did she dare to face the reproachful eyes of the people around her.
who is she?
She is the mistress of a marquisate who has been carefully trained by aristocratic families for more than ten years. She is well-versed in female training and rules, and is proficient in the affairs of the harem. She is the noble lady who knows the best rules and etiquette in the whole capital.
From the day she entered the Marquis's Mansion, she knew that having children and expanding the family was the most important thing in the mansion.
She looked down on Chen Wei, whose thoughts were so jumpy.
He also looked down on Aunt Zhao, who couldn't even read.
But at this moment,
She stood at the door of the delivery room, listening to Xie Yuchuan's unhesitating words "protect the child" and "the most important thing for the Marquis's mansion is the offspring". Suddenly, Qin Shuyu felt that she seemed to be no different from a concubine.
Because if she was lying in the delivery room, Xie Yuchuan might also say "save the baby".
The only difference is...
The child born to Aunt Zhao was a bastard.
And the child she gave birth to was a legitimate son.
"Madam!" Su Zhu opened her eyes wide, looking at Qin Shuyu who turned her head in disbelief, and said in a low voice: "That is the Marquis's first child. This, this is against the rules."
"If Madam Hou knew about this, she would definitely blame you."
"How could you just! Why did you just listen to Miss Shen and act so recklessly? This..."
Su Zhu sighed anxiously and worriedly.
Chen Wei held the scissors in his hand, his face calm, and stood blocking the main entrance without retreating or giving in.
Behind her was Aunt Zhao's life, as humble as an ant.
In front of her was Qin Shuyu, who broke the rules for the first time.
Her chest was ignited by a flame. She looked up at Qin Shuyu, who had his eyes closed and was thinking about something, and then looked at Xie Yuchuan, who was full of anger and indignation with nowhere to vent.
It doesn't matter.
She doesn't care what others think of her.
She just wants to help the girls of this era to the best of her ability, even if it's just a little bit.
"Chen Wei! Have you had enough of this?"
"I thought you had really changed these days, but I didn't expect you to be the same. You lost your own child, so you won't allow Aunt Zhao's child to be born again? You really disappoint me."
"Come out here!" Xie Yuchuan glanced at Qin Shuyu seriously and pointed at Chen Wei angrily.
Does he feel that the Marquis' authority has been challenged?
Can't he even decide the life or death of a concubine?
So is it the rage of impotence?
hehe,
Chen Wei did not look at Xie Yuchuan's expression. She knew that based on Xie Yuchuan's current freshness and love for her, he would definitely say a few harsh words and go into a cold war with her, and would not be willing to hurt her for the time being.
"Madam, my aunt's life is saved."
At this time.
The midwife ran out with cold sweat on her head and reported the situation inside.
"Where is the child?" Xie Yuchuan asked gritting his teeth.
When the midwife heard the word "child", her expression suddenly changed unpredictably. Finally, under Xie Yuchuan's cold gaze, she said: "My Lord, Madam, Aunt Zhao's child has also been taken out."
"If you force a child to be taken, it will definitely not survive."
"only......."
"Just what?" A hint of hope rose in Qin Shuyu's heart.
"It's just... I don't know what kind of fertility potion Aunt Zhao took. The child was covered in poison spots, and his limbs were misshapen. He died long before today. The one in her belly was stillborn."
Buzz!!
Xie Yuchuan's body shook and he stood there in a daze.
The jade beads in Qin Shuyu's hand broke, and the beads fell to the ground one by one, making a crisp and empty sound.
All the maids and servants in the audience changed their expressions drastically, lowered their heads quickly, and didn't even dare to breathe hard.
Until this time.
Chen Wei put away the scissors. She was the only person present who was not frightened, and she was also the calmest and most composed person. It seemed as if she had anticipated this situation a long time ago.
"How, how could this happen?"
"Stillbirth? How could it be a stillbirth?"
"It's already nine months old and fully formed, how could it be a stillbirth?"
Seeing Xie Yuchuan's expression of disbelief and horror, Chen Wei walked forward, took out a page copied from a medical book from his waist, and slapped it on Xie Yuchuan's chest.
She came quickly,
Walking fast,
Without even saying anything, he walked out of the side yard with a calm expression: "Xie Yuchuan, take a look for yourself."
Wow……..
The paper fell to the ground.
Xie Yuchuan bent down absentmindedly and picked it up from the ground. When his eyes fell on the words on the paper, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Qin Shuyu next to him frowned slightly when he saw this.
When she took it and looked at it, her eyebrows suddenly twitched wildly, and an indescribable feeling of sadness swept over her body. Her fingertips curled up, and she looked in the direction where Chen Wei left, saying in a lost voice: "Chen Wei..."
"So this is why you risked your life to stop it?"
On this note.
It records the mortality rate of production in this era.
It describes the dangers of long-term use of fertility drugs.
The possibility of stillbirth is as high as 80 to 90 percent.
so,
Before coming, Chen Wei was 90% sure that the baby in Aunt Zhao's belly had been harmed by the drugs, and even if the baby was saved, it would be stillborn!
"Midwife, that...that child, is it a girl?"
"Ma'am, it's a boy."
