Chapter 500: Miscarriage (1) (2/2)

“Alright, I’ve received your report. You’re dismissed.” Not a single emotion could be heard from He Changdi’s magnetic voice.

The guard, who had fallen to his knees in fear, managed to gather enough courage to look up at Third Young Master and then at the carriage that hadn’t even moved. However, in the end, it wasn’t enough to make him spit out the rest of the report.

He didn’t believe that the good-natured Third Young Madam would do such a thing, but from the doctor’s testimony and the clear benefits involved, he had no choice but to think that the culprit was indeed Third Young Madam.

When he thought of Third Young Madam’s lovely visage and how there was a poisonous heart hiding underneath, he couldn’t help but tremble.

The main branch of the Jing’an Estate had no heirs. Miaozhen had invited a doctor specialising in gynecology to make a diagnosis a few months after getting pregnant. The doctor had mentioned that there was an eighty percent chance of the child being a boy. Although there hadn’t been any official announcements made, the whole estate knew that both Countess Jing’an and Matriarch He had great expectations for the child in Miaozhen’s belly.

Countess Jing’an had even kept Miaozhen by her side to keep an eye on things, afraid that there would be some unfortunate accident. Who could have thought that problems would arise when Miaozhen was this far along!

Now that the possibility of a male heir for the main branch was gone, if Third Young Madam were to fall pregnant, she would give birth to the very first little young master of House Jing’an.

What a scheme!

Laiyue knew that Third Young Madam had made candied hawthorns for Countess Jing’an yesterday, so he hurriedly explained, “Third Young Master, it definitely wasn’t Third Young Madam. There must be some explanation for this.”

He Changdi turned to look at the anxious Laiyue, but he didn’t say anything besides instructing the party to hurry back to the estate.

Laiyue couldn’t tell what was going on in his master’s mind. However, he knew that Third Young Madam and Third Young Master seemed to have quarrelled earlier. Now that this matter had suddenly arisen, his master wouldn’t really think that this had anything to do with Third Young Madam, right?

News spread fast. In just a short moment, even Xiyan, who was sitting in the carriage behind them, knew of the matter.

Her face immediately turned ashen. She remembered what Chu Lian had said to Princess Wei and Royal Princess Duanjia when they had been eating the so-called ‘hawthorn balls’ and clenched her fists as her thoughts raced. Who was trying to pin the blame on their Third Young Madam?!
