High-class Spring Joy

Qingyuan, whose mind had been blank just moments before, was startled. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she stood up and saw that it was Chu Jingxian next to her.

"Young master..."

Qingyuan wanted to ask something, but before she could even ask, Chu Jingxian seemed to already know and answered:

"Hongdou's condition is improving, and the poison has dissipated. However, the poisoning was quite severe, causing significant damage to her body. She hasn't woken up yet, but according to Sai Huatuo, she should wake up in six hours. There's no need to worry too much; Sai Huatuo's medical skills are widely recognized. You should worry more about your own health. Sai Huatuo took your pulse and said that the coldness in your body is something you were born with and cannot be completely removed later in life..."

Little did she know that Chu Jingxian's words immediately put Qing Yuan on edge, causing her to widen her eyes and stare at him: "Has...Has Doctor Hua Tuo already taken my pulse?"

Qingyuan was so frightened that the servant girl forgot to say two words.

Chu Jingxian didn't answer, but picked up the medicine soup from the table and stirred the dark soup with a spoon: "Drink your medicine first."

At this moment, Qingyuan dared not disobey Chu Jingxian, nor did she dare to make up any more stories with him. She hurriedly reached out to take the bowl of medicine, saying, "This servant...this servant can do it myself."

Unexpectedly, Chu Jingxian had no intention of letting her go. He stirred the soup with the spoon a couple of times, then scooped up some soup and raised his hand.

Looking at Chu Jingxian's appearance, Qingyuan was unsure of what he was up to. Logically speaking, Chu Jingxian was blind and couldn't possibly feed her. Moreover, how could she dare let this old man feed her? It would shorten her lifespan.

"Young master..."

Qingyuan hesitated for a moment.

Chu Jingxian told her to drink the medicine first, but now he's not giving it to her, as if he's deliberately keeping her hanging on.

Could it be that Sai Huatuo has already taken her pulse, and this person knows she is pregnant, so... so he wants to get to the bottom of it?

Qingyuan really doesn't dare to dream of becoming a mother who gains status through her son.

He made the right bet; the Third Young Master not only spared his life but also accepted the child.

If she gambles and makes a mistake, she will lose her life, and her child will lose their life too; both of them will perish.

Qingyuan knew she had never been a lucky person, and she would never dare to gamble her own life with her child's.

It's better that the Third Young Master doesn't know; at least she can still live, right?

To everyone's surprise, Chu Jingxian remained silent for a moment, then took out a bag of candies from his sleeve and placed it in front of her:

"Your physical condition is complex and special, so the medicine you need is also quite special. Sai Huatuo said your medicine will be particularly bitter. So I sent someone to buy some candy."

Qingyuan then took the medicine bowl from Chu Jingxian's hand, glanced at the candy in front of Chu Jingxian for a moment, and then took it.

The Third Young Master is truly a good person. Even though she was just a maid or a servant in the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion, he was still willing to treat her with kindness.

But Qingyuan knew that the Third Young Master's kindness and gentleness only remained when he was Qingyuan. Once she became the woman who drugged him and forced herself on him that night, everything would be completely different.

"Thank you, young master, but you don't need to go to so much trouble. I've been testing medicines for the Fifth Young Master since I was a child, and I've drunk all kinds of bitter medicines, so I'm not afraid of bitterness at all."

After Qingyuan finished speaking, she tilted her head back and drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp.

After Qingyuan finished drinking, she noticed that Chu Jingxian's expression seemed a bit off. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and he didn't say anything. For some reason, he gave her a very oppressive feeling.

Having served as a maid and servant for so many years, and especially serving a capricious and sensitive master like Chu Jingyu, Qingyuan could clearly sense whether the person in front of her was happy or angry.

For example, Qingyuan sensed that the Third Young Master Chu Jingxian was not in a good mood, but she didn't know why.

Qingyuan thought for a moment. She didn't seem to have said anything. Could it be that the Third Young Master really found out and decided to tear her to pieces?!

Qingyuan was startled by her own thought, immediately realized what she had done, pinched a candy in her hand and put it in her mouth, flatteringly praising it:

"The candies the Third Young Master bought are so sweet, much sweeter than the ones I bought!"

Chu Jingxian remained silent, the words Qing Yuan had spoken about testing medicine for Chu Jingyu every day echoing in his mind.

Chu Jingxian was indeed very unhappy and became increasingly convinced that it was all Chu Jingyu's fault.

To be greedy for more after gaining something, to be fickle and opportunistic, to be utterly shameless.

Hearing Qingyuan praise the sweetness of the candies he bought, Chu Jingxian's expression softened slightly: "Even if you like them, you can't eat too many. You can eat a few when you take your medicine, but don't be greedy, it's not good for the baby in your womb."

"This servant knows..." Qingyuan answered immediately after hearing the first half of Chu Jingxian's words, but only realized what she had heard after she finished speaking.

child!

He found out!

Qingyuan sat on the bed, her body tense, afraid to move or breathe loudly, as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

The Third Young Master knows, the Third Young Master knows she is pregnant, so why is the Third Young Master so calm?

Besides the fact that the third son is pregnant, what else does he know? Did he connect this to what happened two months ago?

How much did the Third Young Master actually know? To what extent did he know?

Qingyuan didn't know, but she had to find out!

Qingyuan's gaze involuntarily became fixed on Chu Jingxian in front of her. Her throat was dry with nervousness. She pursed her lips several times before finally finding her hoarse voice: "Young Master, you know everything?"

"Um."

Chu Jingxian responded.

Qingyuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The Third Young Master knew, he knew everything, he knew that she was the one who drugged him that night.

So, is the next step to drag her out and tear her to pieces, or to remove the mother and keep the child?!

Qingyuan subconsciously looked at the bag of candy in her hand. Was this bag of candy her last meal before she was executed?

No, even a last meal before execution should at least include some meat and fish...

Chu Jingxian also sensed the tension and unease in Qing Yuan's voice and was fully aware of her emotions.

A young girl who is not yet married, even though she is a maid, was originally innocent and pure. Once this matter is known, not to mention that the fifth brother is so fickle, anyone would be afraid.

Chu Jingxian softened his voice to comfort her: "Don't be nervous, don't be afraid. If you don't want your fifth brother to know, I will definitely keep this secret for you. Your fifth brother was in the wrong first; he deceived you and then became fickle. If anything happens in the future, feel free to come to me. As your elder brother, I will definitely take good care of you and the child in your womb."
