Chapter 378 - In the King Ning Manor, Wang Xiuxiu Lost Her Baby in the Belly (1/2)

The room was in a mess. Consort Yu leaned down on the side of the bed with a pale face, and could not say a word. On the other side, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu fell to the wall, her clothes stained with blood, and the flowing blood was clearly visible on the skirt. w.a.n.g Xiuxiu covered her belly and painfully called to Princess Royal standing at the door. “Child, my child! Save my child!”

A hint of pleading flashed in her eyes.

As for Feng Yuzhen, he fell to the ground. His handsome face was scratched two blood strains that slanted down from the bridge of his nose, which pulled and twisted his face.

“Yuzhen, what’s the matter?” Princess Royal was the first to collect herself and ordered people to help w.a.n.g Xiuxiu and Consort Yu up, and then came to ask Feng Yuzhen who just got up from the ground. The two women in the room were pregnant, and the only man was the groom who had nothing to do with them. The matter seemed weird anyway.

“I…” Feng Yuzhen looked bad, but fortunately, he responded quickly and continued to say immediately, “I heard in the former hall that Consort Yu felt uncomfortable, so I came to see her. When we were talking, Second Consort w.a.n.g dashed in for some unknown reason in a frightening way. So I subconsciously wanted to protect Consort Yu, and was clawed by Second Consort w.a.n.g. And then, then…”

The bloodstains on w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s nails would not lie, so Feng Yuzhen could not cover it by any means.

And what he said was a half-truth, but sounded reasonable. He blamed everything on w.a.n.g Xiuxiu and took on a blank look as if he had not known what had happened.

Although it was extremely inappropriate that he appeared alone in the parlor where Consort Yu was, and it was rather suspicious, Consort Yu felt uncomfortable, and he, as the master, came to see her, which was plausible. Now, there was no mistress in King Ning’s Manor. Although d.u.c.h.ess Ding was a close relative, she could not represent Feng Yuzhen after all. So that he came to see Consort Yu in person meant nothing but just some concern.

It looked weird that there was no palace maid serving in the room.

But judging the distance between the two people and their quite normal dressing, all the people’s eyes on them became vague.

“Aunt, could you please have a look at Second Consort Yu? Is she all right?” After the explanation, Feng Yuzhen said anxiously and turned around to see w.a.n.g Xiuxiu.

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu closed her eyes tightly, and her skirt had been wet with blood. Feng Yuzhen was oppressed by some unknown sinister forebodings. Anyway, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu was conceiving his child, and the two used to enjoy great tenderness. Now, the child was knocked off by him, and he felt uncomfortable as well. But thinking that w.a.n.g Xiuxiu dashed so furiously, he thought if she had dashed into Consort Yu’s belly, Consort Yu’s baby would have been knocked off as well.

At the thought, Feng Yuzhen’s heart turned frigid immediately and sighed that, “What a near thing that was. So lucky…”

And he felt fortunate that he responded so quickly to push Consort Yu away, that he kicked w.a.n.g Xiuxiu away, and that it was w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s baby that was knocked off…

Although he thought that in his heart, he still put on fake concern on his face. He stared at w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s pale face, as if losing his mind, and only uttered the words. “What to do? Aunt? What to do? Her belly, her child…”

He put on a panic-stricken and bewildered look.

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu opened her eyes slightly, only to see the fl.u.s.tered eyes mixed with agony and pleading as if he still cared about her and lost his mind for her. The two deep bloodstains on his face were still bleeding, and his hair was disheveled. Now, he was not the calm and das.h.i.+ng gentleman as he was always.

He, still cared about her!

He, still cared about her!

Tears slipped from the corner of her eyes, and drops of tears rolled into the dust. He still had her in his heart. It was true. Seeing him standing there so awkwardly and looking at her sadly, w.a.n.g Xiuxiu felt her heart also ached and thought, “Yes, how can he not care about me? He couldn’t have known that the person das.h.i.+ng towards him was me, so he kicked me so mercilessly.”

Now he was fl.u.s.tered and regretted…

“Second Consort w.a.n.g, how do you feel now?” You Yue’e came to ask. As the mistress of King Yan’s Manor, she knew that she could not lose her grace. Besides, she knew well how the baby came in w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s belly. It was not Feng Yulei’s child at all. To raise the child for others, You Yue’e felt grieved for Feng Yulei, but Feng Yulei just said that the time had not yet come.

The thought that another man’s child would steal the t.i.tle of the eldest son made You Yue’e filled with anger.

If it had not been You Yue’e’s eldest brother who had persuaded her that the time had not yet come and told her not to provoke w.a.n.g Xiuxiu, the baby in w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s belly would have been messed to death. So You Yue’e was gloating over w.a.n.g Xiuxiu’s mishap.

“I, my belly… My child…” w.a.n.g Xiuxiu said in a difficult way. Although she tried to see Feng Yuzhen clearly, she felt a red in front and was able to say these words, and then she could not continue but just gasped for air.

“Hurry up! Hold her to the other side. Please call for the imperial doctor. Now!” d.u.c.h.ess Ding was senior and had great experiences, so she ordered people to hold w.a.n.g Xiuxiu to the wing room beside. And Consort Yu also had much trouble. Although no blood was seen, she still held her belly and screamed with a pale face.

Then, all the people were in a mess again.

Since the Manor was in chaos, w.a.n.g Yueyue, the bride, was informed that the matter and knew of the relations.h.i.+p between her eldest sister and her husband, afraid that something awful was about to happen. So w.a.n.g Yueyue ignored her ident.i.ty of a new bride and rushed there with her maidservants immediately. No matter what had happened, she was the mistress in the Manor.

No matter whether Consort Yu or w.a.n.g Xiuxiu had trouble in the banquet, it must have something to do with w.a.n.g Yueyue herself. On the great wedding day, it would be a scandal that she was involved in such a relations.h.i.+p.

Thinking of the last marriages of the three royal princes, w.a.n.g Yueyue heard of some scandals, but only King Xuan’s Consort had a happy life. w.a.n.g Yueyue felt deeply alarm, fearing that disaster would fall on her.
