Ren Wanyun watched as Doctor Chen took Shen Qing’s pulse. Shen Qing was still a little afraid and hid in Ren Wanyun’s arms. Doctor Chen put down his hand, and Shen Qing looked a little serious. He glanced at Shen Qing and shook his head at Ren Wanyun.
“All of you, get out,” Ren Wanyun said to the servants in the room.
Xianglan, Caiju, and Chuntao quickly left.
After everyone left, Doctor Chen sighed and said to Ren Wanyun, “Miss’s pulse indicates that she is… most likely pregnant.”
Although Ren Wanyun had already guessed it, when she heard the doctor say it, she still felt like the world was spinning. She looked at Doctor Chen and said with a trembling voice, “Doctor, can you let Qing abort this child? Qing is still young. She can’t…”
If she just lost her virginity, Shen Qing might still have a way out in the future. However, if she had a child, she and the child would be disdained by everyone.
“Miss’s body is weak and she is still young.” Doctor Chen said, “An abortion will probably hurt her body. I’m afraid it will be very difficult for her to have another child in the future…”
If Shen Qing became infertile, even if she was married in the future, Ren Wanyun knew better than anyone what would happen to a woman who was infertile. A woman without a child would be like a soldier without a weapon on the battlefield.
“Moreover, Miss has yet to fully recover. If she miscarries, it will be very dangerous,” Doctor Chen said.
“No… she can’t abort.” Ren Wanyun was dumbfounded. A moment later, she looked at Shen Qing in her arms and couldn’t help but feel sad. “My poor Qing!”
If Shen Qing had an abortion, she might die. Even if she survived, she might not be able to give birth again. No matter what, she mustn’t abort the baby. But if she did not… What would happen to her?
……
There seemed to be no way out. Ren Wanyun only felt deep despair.
Outside the door, Chun Tao looked inside and whispered, “Sister Xianglan, Miss… Is Miss…”
“Shh.” Xianglan warned, “Don’t say too much. If Madam finds out, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Sigh.” Caiju said worriedly, “What should we do now?” She and Xianglan had naturally guessed what was going on. If Shen Qing had a body, what would happen to Rosy Cloud Garden?
Chun Tao curled her lips, but her eyes flashed with smugness.
After Doctor Chen left the Shen family’s mansion, he returned to the small courtyard in the north of the city. When he walked into the courtyard, he saw his wife and child running out. He couldn’t help but wipe his sweat.
Before he went to check on Shen Qing today, he received a letter from someone who told him that when he treated Shen Qing later, he had to say that Shen Qing could not abort the baby and persuade her to keep the baby. Otherwise, his entire family would be killed. The letter even contained a hairpin from his wife. Doctor Chen was afraid and could only do as that person said.
He was originally hired by Ren Wanyun’s family to work for her, but now that he had betrayed his master, he was naturally shocked and afraid. He secretly thought about leaving the capital. Even so, Doctor Chen was still a little puzzled. According to what Ren Wanyun said, even Ren Wanyun herself only found out today that Shen Qing had morning sickness. Then how did the person who threatened him know about this?
In the west courtyard, Gu Yu walked in and whispered something to Shen Miao, who was playing chess at the table. A moment later, Shen Miao smiled. “You did well. Have you sent the money to Doctor Chen?”
“Mo Qing has already sent it.” Gu Yu said, “Miss, why did you give him so much money? Since you’ve already threatened to kill his family, you don’t need to give him anything.”
“That’s different.” Shen Miao put down the chess piece in her hand and smiled. “People change. If we keep threatening him, Doctor Chen will sooner or later escape from the capital with his entire family. However, if we give him a large sum of money, what do you think he will do?”
“I don’t know.” Gu Yu shook her head.
“He will think that since he has already betrayed once, he might as well betray twice or the third time. Only with more money will he be able to continue helping us until the end.”
Gu Yu was slightly stunned, not knowing what to say. Since when did her Miss know so much about schemes?
Shen Miao smiled and said, “Ask Mo Qing to tell Chun Tao to help First Sister take care of the baby. The healthier the baby is, the better it will be for us.”
