Chapter 354 It's all Mo Yi's fault

Early the next morning, Madam Xu sent someone to fetch Madam Wang.

When Wang heard that Mowen was in trouble, her legs went weak.

She quickly sent someone to fetch Mo Ruhai, while she herself, along with her eldest daughter-in-law Zhou, rode in the Xu family's carriage.

Madam Xu personally received her and first told her about what happened yesterday.

Wang was shocked and cried out, "How could this be? Wasn't she supposed to stay home and rest during her pregnancy? Why did she go out?"

"Let Dujuan in," Madam Xu instructed.

Du Juan hadn't slept all night. Her eyes were swollen, and she was disheveled. She came in and knelt on the ground crying.

Upon seeing this, Wang Shi was furious. Pointing at her, she scolded, "What good is crying! You wretched girl, didn't we tell you not to let your mistress go out? Instead of trying to persuade her, you went out with her! Now look what's happened..."

She grew angrier and angrier, got up from her seat, and slapped Du Juan across the face. "If anything happens to my Wenwen, I'll kill you!"

Grandma Xu sat with him, feeling rather awkward. When Mo Wen asked for a car to go out, she didn't think much of it and arranged it for her.

Who knew this would happen?
I was scolded by my mother-in-law yesterday. Now I have to deal with my in-laws throwing a tantrum...

Dujuan was slapped to the ground by Madam Wang and cried, "It's all Dujuan's fault, please punish me, Madam..."

Wang was still not satisfied and went to hit her again.

Zhou rushed over to stop her, but Wang pushed her aside. "Don't stop me! You've been with the Mo family since you were little, have I ever mistreated you? How could you harm Wenwen like this!" She was being unreasonable...

Madam Xu gave a wink to the nanny beside her.

The old woman quickly stepped forward to stop her, "My dear in-law, this girl has done something wrong and certainly needs to be punished. But right now, you must first hear about Third Madam's health..."

Only then did Mrs. Wang realize what had happened. "Oh dear, I was so confused. What did the doctor say?"

Madam Xu handed her several long medical records written by the doctor...

"..." Wang Shi could hardly recognize any words.

"Madam, please explain. I was so excited that I don't understand." But she took it anyway and handed it to Zhou.

Madam Xu's voice was low: "At present, we can only say that she hasn't miscarried, but the situation is not good. The doctor at Tongjitang and the doctor who treated Wenwen before said the same thing. I'm afraid that for the next period of time, Wenwen won't even be able to get out of bed. We have to wait until she is completely stable before we can have sex."

Upon hearing this, Wang burst into tears, crying out, "This child, how can he be so unruly..."

Zhou was really afraid that Wang would make a scene, so she quickly advised, "Mother, please don't get agitated. Ask your in-laws if they need any special medicines, and have your uncles find them as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang quickly wiped away her tears and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes! My dear in-law, my brother travels all over the country and also runs a pharmacy. If you need any hard-to-find medicinal herbs, just let me know."

"The medicine is alright. There's no need for any special herbs right now. It's just... Wenwen needs to rest well this time. She can't get out of bed, she can't get angry, and she can't even speak loudly. I'm afraid she'll suffer. As for her diet, just a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and some gentle nourishment will be enough. Just rest quietly; no special treatment is needed."

"Is that so..." Wang refused to believe it; such a serious illness, and she was pregnant, how could she just be treated simply by lying down?

She was still worried... "Then, how about... when it's convenient, I'd like to have my brother's doctor come and take a look again?"

Madam Xu had already asked Du Juan what Mo Wen was going out to do.

Although Du Juan didn't know what the two Mo girls had talked about, Madam Xu understood after hearing what had happened. She guessed that Mo Wen had heard that Xu Ke had resigned from his official post to do something extremely dangerous, so she got angry and went to argue with Mo Yi.

In this matter, the Xu family has indeed let Mo Wen down.

Therefore, she was incredibly patient with Wang: "No problem. You can ask a doctor to come and take a look, or you can hire someone who knows how to take care of pregnant women. But... whatever you need to use, you have to discuss it with Dr. Huang. Only use it if Dr. Huang agrees, so there won't be any drug interactions..."

“Yes, I understand.” Madam Wang nodded.

"Why don't you go and see Wenwen? But please don't get so agitated in front of her. Don't make her anxious!"

"Mmm. I know..." As soon as Wang agreed, she pouted and started crying again.

"And this girl..." Madam Xu pointed at Dujuan, "She didn't persuade her mistress and went out without permission, which is truly hateful. However, let's punish her after Wenwen has recovered."

Since Wenwen can't get out of bed now, it's best to have her closest relatives take care of her. Besides, if the punishment isn't to Wenwen's liking, she'll get anxious, and that wouldn't be good..."

“Madam, you’re right.” Madam Wang listened and then said to Dujuan, “Don’t blame me for hitting you. If your mistress really gets into trouble, you won’t even have enough to give her your life for! Take good care of her and make amends for your mistakes!”

Du Juan quickly kowtowed and agreed.

Madam Wang was anxious to see Mowen. Seeing her restless state, Madam Xu instructed Madam Zhou, "Mowen needs absolute rest this time. Don't let her get agitated. So, just let her know that you've come and that you have family to care for her. Don't make her cry." "Yes. Don't worry, Madam, I will persuade my mother."

Madam Xu had her eldest daughter-in-law and personal nanny accompany Wang Shi over, watching Wang Shi's hurried steps.

He sighed: Misfortunes never come singly... The ancients were right!
When I returned last night, Xu Erlang had already finished what he was doing there, and he had distributed money to everyone who was injured or suffered losses.

As a result, the people were very satisfied.

The Xu family knew perfectly well that Princess Yu'an was behind it... but they were hesitant to get too involved, lest someone guess the truth.

The final decision was to send a generous backup gift to the princess as an apology.

Then, after the morning court session, all the results of the investigation and subsequent handling by the government were handed over to the emperor.

The Xu family has to swallow this bitter pill.

The Xu family men were furious for a long time, but they could only try to get revenge elsewhere!
When Wang arrived at the entrance of Mowen's courtyard, Zhou stopped her. "Mother, when you see Wenwen, you mustn't let her get excited. At this time, you can't cry, you can't laugh, you can't exert yourself... This is no small matter, you have to be careful. Don't do anything you'll regret later."

Wang said impatiently, "I know!"

"Mother! Stop, calm down, and then go in."

Wang glared at Zhou, but Zhou winked at her, saying that Xu's eldest sister-in-law and the lady's maid were still with them. She had no choice but to stand there and calm herself down before going inside.

This time, when Wang saw Mo Wen, she didn't scream or yell anymore, because she was terrified...

Mo Wen lay on the bed, listless, his face as white as gold.

She bled in the car. She fainted because she realized what was happening and was terrified.

But she was lucky. The doctor at Tongjitang was a master acupuncturist. On the train, he first pricked Mowen awake with a needle and told her that if she didn't receive acupuncture in time, she would definitely lose the pregnancy, and she would most likely die.

Mo Wen then realized the real danger.

Thinking of what Mo Yi said, in the face of life and death and offspring, so-called chastity, face, and the strict separation of men and women are not important.

She was decisive enough to nod directly.

The doctor immediately lifted the patient's clothes to perform acupuncture, which brought the condition under control.

However, the doctor also said that from now on, she will have to eat, drink, and relieve herself in bed.

The person can only lie flat, cannot wash or do anything. They can only get out of bed with the doctor's permission.

"Wenwen?!" Wang called out cautiously in a soft voice.

"Mother?!" Mo Wen didn't dare turn her head, only her eyes.

"How are you?"

Mo Wen dared not cry, "No. Mother...it's all Mo Yi's fault...it's all her fault!"

"What did she do?!" Wang's eyes widened.

Madam Zhou said from the side, "Third sister, no matter who's to blame, you can't get agitated right now... Once you're better and the son is born, no matter what Fifth Sister's status is, your sister-in-law will take Father and Mother to settle accounts with her. Don't forget what's most important right now. Madam Xu just repeatedly told you not to get agitated and not to exert yourself!"

Her face was extremely serious.

Mo Wen blinked and gave a barely audible "hmm" after hearing this.

Wang wanted to ask something more, but Zhou stopped her. She could only repeat some instructions over and over again for a long time.

Finally, after bidding farewell to the Xu family, Madam Wang coldly said, "Let's go! To the Prince Qi's residence!"

I know someone who spent several months in bed during her pregnancy.

I have to eat, drink, and relieve myself in bed; I can't even wash my hair...

They've been sentenced to death.

She was premature in the end. It was a daughter…

A great mother.
