The Marquis's line has ended? The pregnant maid is pregnant again!

"How is that possible?! I only pushed her lightly! Even if she fell, she shouldn't be bleeding this much!"

As Wu Xiaoniang spoke, her eyes widened at the sight of the bright red mark on Lu Jihan's palm. She looked around and realized that Shen Qinghe had been standing on the steps.

Her push caused Shen Qinghe to fall heavily down the steps!

She suddenly remembered that the Zhuang family physician had said Shen Qinghe was pregnant.

Blood… Could Shen Qinghe have miscarried?!

Chu Xingge arrived at Shen Qinghe's side immediately, but seeing Lu Jihan holding Shen Qinghe, he could only stop in his tracks.

Upon seeing the blood on Lu Jihan's palm, Chu Xingge immediately frowned, her tone becoming anxious: "How could this be? How could Ahe bleed so much?! Could it be... could it be that Ahe is pregnant?!"

As Chu Xingge spoke, his gaze was fixed on Shen Qinghe's face, his tone was impatient, and his voice could no longer maintain its original gentleness.

The gentle and refined young master, known to everyone in Chang'an, lost all his gentleness upon seeing his beloved in such a state.

Lu Jihan glared at him coldly and snapped, "You get out too!"

Originally, Lu Jihan's attitude towards Chu Xingge was not good either. Although the two always disagreed in court, Lu Jihan was always upright and honest, and his coldness towards others was tolerable.

This is the first time I've seen someone so hostile and disdainful towards me.

As for the reason, Lu Jihan didn't know, and he didn't have time to think about it. He picked up Shen Qinghe from his arms and took her to the side courtyard.

Today happens to be his birthday banquet, and countless guests have come. Taozi must not make a big fuss when he goes to invite the royal physician, otherwise, if word gets out and the guests find out, the gossip about his Zhenguo Marquis's mansion will surely spread throughout the entire city of Chang'an tomorrow.

Taozi rushed in but couldn't explain clearly. She could only leave with the Zhuang family doctor. It was Qing'er, who finally caught up, who hurriedly told the old lady.

The old lady immediately widened her eyes in alarm: "What?! Such a thing has happened?! The Zhuang family physician might not be able to help. Quickly, Granny Kang, fetch that expert gynecologist! It must be done as soon as possible! Money is no object!"

In the small courtyard.

"It hurts, it hurts so much...Master..." Shen Qinghe's voice grew softer and softer, her voice becoming weaker and weaker.

As Lu Jihan listened to the faint voice of the person in his arms and watched the soft hand that was pulling on his sleeve loosen its grip, he felt anxious, angry, and heartbroken.

Lu Jihan softened his voice and coaxed, "Yes, I'm here. Don't be afraid, Ahe, the doctor will be here soon."

Fortunately, Taozi acted quickly and immediately brought back the Zhuang family doctor.

Lu Jihan glared at him and said, "Hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" When the Zhuang family physician saw that Shen Qinghe's skirt was stained with bright red spots, he already had a pretty good idea of ​​what had happened.

Shen Qinghe's condition is very likely a sign of impending miscarriage!

The doctor was terrified. If it turned out to be a miscarriage at this moment, his previous lie would definitely be suspected. If Shen Qinghe's baby could be saved, he might be able to save his life.

But if anything happens to Shen Qinghe or the child in her womb, he will definitely lose his life!

The Zhuang family physician panicked at this moment, not knowing what to do at all. He tremblingly pressed Shen Qinghe's pulse, his lips shaking so much that he couldn't say anything!

Lu Jihan frowned deeply, grabbing the trembling hand of the Zhuang family physician with such force that he almost crushed the bones. "Speak! What happened?! Didn't you say she wasn't pregnant?!"

"I...I..."

The doctor was wincing in pain, but his lips were trembling, and he had no idea what to say to respond.

The Zhuang family physician never expected this to happen.

If this unexpected incident hadn't happened, we could have found a suitable opportunity to abort Shen Qinghe's child and that would have been the end of it. But who knew that such a big accident would occur in the middle of it all!

Moreover, the person who did it at that time could only be either Wu Xiaoniang or Cao Xiaoniang, so any investigation would lead to them.

Although he had some connection with her, he was still able to defend himself, saying only that he was old and his eyesight was failing, and his medical skills were poor, and that he could leave the Marquis's mansion on his own initiative.

Who knew things would happen so suddenly?

The Zhuang family physician could only stick to his previous statement: "My lord, I truly could not detect any pregnancy!"

Lu Jihan was now so anxious he could barely control his tone, his voice sharp and menacing, as if he were on a battlefield: "So what's the situation now!?"

Seeing that the Zhuang family physician was trembling and unable to speak, he finally managed to say, "Madam Xu, Madam Xu, my old eyes are failing and my medical skills are far inferior to what they used to be. I am truly ashamed of the trust placed in me by the Marquis and the Old Madam!"

Lu Jihan was extremely anxious at this moment. Shen Qinghe was trembling in his arms from the pain. Lu Jihan reacted immediately: "Linfeng, go outside the city as quickly as possible and fetch several doctors. No, fetch every single doctor who can come from outside the city right now! Bring them all back!!"

Lin Feng responded and was about to leave.

Wu Xiaoniang, however, ran out first: "I'll ride a horse, it'll be much faster!"

Just then, Qing'er arrived with the renowned medical expert!

A cute, young-looking female doctor, carrying a small cloth bag, rushed in and said hurriedly, "Let me see my patient right away, you all get out!!"

"Who are you?" Lu Jihan looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared in front of him. She was dressed simply, had a very young appearance, and her cheeks still had a bit of baby fat. She looked like she was only a teenager. Of course, he was not at ease.

Qing'er, who was standing nearby, quickly relayed what the old lady had said, which made Lu Jihan lower his guard: "My lord, this is Lin Wanwan, a renowned gynecologist whom the old lady invited from outside the city."

"I'm a doctor!" Lin Wanwan's cute face immediately turned serious as soon as she took her pulse. "Her condition is not good. She's been pregnant for over a month and is showing signs of miscarriage. Quickly, leave her here and leave a few maids to help me! Otherwise, I'm not sure if we can save the baby!"

Lu Jihan did not hesitate and immediately did as Lin Wanwan said.

An hour later, countless basins of water were brought into the courtyard.

Finally, Lin Wanwan came out of the room and took a deep breath: "The baby is saved."

"What about Ahe?!"

Two distinct male voices rang out simultaneously in the courtyard.

Upon hearing Lin Wanwan's words, Wu Xiaoniang rushed forward in one stride.

Lu Jihan gave him a cold glance, said nothing, and turned to stare at the female doctor in front of him.

Shen Qinghe's situation is the most urgent matter right now; everything else can be put aside.

Upon hearing their words, Lin Wanwan frowned and asked in confusion, "She's not giving birth; she's only a little over a month pregnant. The mother needs to be healthy for the baby to survive, right?"

One sentence left the two of them stunned, and they finally realized that they had been blinded by concern.

The two most prominent and youngest civil and military officials in the imperial court, renowned in Chang'an for their talent and achievements, were so anxious at this moment that they forgot even basic common sense.

Lin Wanwan took out paper and pen from her small cloth bag and said while writing the prescription, "Fortunately, we found out quickly and I arrived quickly. The girl inside is not in any serious condition for now, but her body has been injured after this incident and she must take good care of herself for a while. She should not overexert herself or exert herself. She should follow the prescription I wrote and take care of herself. I will come to check her pulse every month. If nothing unexpected happens, she will recover and the baby will be born safely."

Lin Wanwan finished writing the prescription and handed it to Qing'er, then looked at Lu Jihan and Wu Xiaoniang in front of her: "Which of you two is her husband?"

"I am."

Lu Jihan's voice was deep and decisive: "What is it? Tell me."

Lin Wanwan said directly, "You must not have sexual relations or do anything reckless within six months."

Even though Wu Xiaoniang opened her mouth, the words she wanted to say were like a huge rock stuck in his throat, unable to come out or come down.

Seeing Lu Jihan listening to the doctor's instructions, Wu Xiaoniang couldn't help but turn her head away and step aside.

After writing out the prescription and explaining the precautions, Lin Wanwan left. Before leaving, she said that Shen Qinghe would not wake up for at least another hour.

"Alright, there's still a little over an hour. I'll have some free time to deal with other issues."

Lu Jihan's gaze shifted, his face turning icy cold as he looked at Wu Xiaoniang and the Zhuang family physician: "Linfeng, tie them up."

Lin Feng didn't say anything, but immediately led his men to tie up the Zhuang family doctor and Wu Xiaoniang with ropes.

Upon seeing that her hands and feet were about to be bound, Wu Xiaoniang immediately struggled in terror: "Master!! What have I done wrong? If you want to tie me up, please tell me directly. If I have really done something wrong, I will accept punishment!!!"

"Do you really think your tricks can fool me?"

Lu Jihan snorted coldly, his fingertips rubbing the purse hanging from his waist. "You all harbor ulterior motives, constantly plotting against Shen Qinghe out of jealousy. Now that you dare to hurt her in front of me, I'll settle all your scores, one by one!"
