Still seated in the carriage, Chu Lian slowly opened her eyes, a glint of something flashing across her gaze.

The corners of her lips curved upwards with a hint of ridicule as she whispered to herself, “So it’s finally come?”

He Changdi hadn’t been in a good mood from the start and his expression was overcast. When the guard came rushing over in a panic shouting his report, the thunder on his face could scare even the boldest of tigers.

“What news!”

Laiyue shot the reporting guard a look. Luckily, the guard seemed to have some wits about him and quickly suppressed his emotions. He came over to He Changdi’s side and reported more quietly, “Third Young Master, Miss… Miss Miaozhen’s child might not make it.”

After saying so, the guard lowered his head, unable to face Third Young Master’s stormy gaze.

The air around He Changdi turned frosty. “What does that have to do with us?”

The guard’s legs were shaking from having to bear the force of Third Young Master’s temper. He trembled and stuttered, but finally, under the pressure of He Changdi’s icy aura, he spat out the truth in one go. “The… the doctor said that, M-Miss Miaozhen’s miscarriage was caused… by eating the candied hawthorns that Third Young Madam sent over…”

Candied hawthorns?

A cold light filled He Changdi’s fathomless eyes. He kept his gaze on the quaking guard before him, his every word emanating a violent chill as he said, “Who sent for the doctor?”

The guard didn’t dare to hide anything when Third Young Master was in this state. “It was the heir… The heir personally sent for the old doctor in Chongde Hall.”
