“Miss, Miss, are you alright?” Xiao Xi hurried over, wanting to help Su Wenyue up but afraid that any abrupt movement might worsen her condition, she felt momentarily at a loss.
“Xiao Xi, my stomach hurts a bit, I’m afraid the fetal energy might be disturbed. Hold me and take me back to the room, try to move as gently as possible.” Su Wenyue, seeing Xiao Xi panic, desperately tried to calm herself down, instructing Xiao Xi on what to do. She was actually very worried, afraid that anything might happen to the child in her womb—the child she had longed for so eagerly. But at this moment, Han Yu wasn’t by her side, and she had to make her greatest effort to protect the child, without allowing any weakness to show.
Mrs. Liu was also helping at the time and even called out Mother-in-law and Mrs. Li. At first, she thought that the Fourth Daughter-in-law had just been bumped by a child—not much force for a youngster—thinking that the Fourth Daughter-in-law couldn’t be that delicate and at worst would only have a scraped hand. But seeing Xiao Xi’s expression and behavior, especially the Fourth Daughter-in-law sitting on the ground, pale-faced, she felt something was seriously wrong.
“Stomach pain, disturbed fetal energy?” Mrs. Liu was stunned, hearing Su Wenyue’s words. What did the Fourth Daughter-in-law mean by this? Could it be that she was pregnant? A woman’s body is delicate during pregnancy, unable to withstand such collisions. This could really be a disaster, especially since the incident happened because of her daughter, Liu felt guilty and even more worried about Su Wenyue. She followed close behind Xiao Xi, wanting to help where she could.
“Fourth Daughter-in-law, are you pregnant? How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?”
Mrs. Liu fired off a series of questions like a barrage of bullets, but Su Wenyue had no energy to answer. With Xiao Xi’s help, she slowly lay back on the bed and finally felt a bit more at ease. Her stomach also seemed a bit better, but still ached slightly.
“My young mistress has disturbed fetal energy and needs to rest well. She probably doesn’t have the strength to talk to you right now. If there’s anything lacking, please don’t take offense.” Xiao Xi spoke for her young mistress in response to Mrs. Liu.
Having it confirmed by Xiao Xi that Su Wenyue was pregnant, Mrs. Liu had no intention of holding Su Wenyue accountable for anything: “It’s okay, if the Fourth Daughter-in-law doesn’t feel well, I won’t mind these things. But given her condition, shouldn’t we have a doctor come to see her? After all, the body is extra delicate when carrying a child.”
“We do need to fetch one. I’ll go right now, and I’ll also need Sister-in-law to help look after my young mistress.” With no one else at home, Xiao Xi had to entrust Su Wenyue to Mrs. Liu. At that time, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li came over, and upon hearing that Su Wenyue was pregnant but had been knocked down by Yang Juxiang’s grandson, they were both terribly anxious.
“How could this happen? After finally getting pregnant, to have such an incident… These children are too raucous; they really should be disciplined better. Who knows how the adults are teaching them!”
For the first time, Mrs. Yang felt resentment towards Yang Juxiang. Even before, she had only been disappointed in her sister, but this was different; she had barely received the news of her eagerly-awaited eldest grandson and had not even had the chance to rejoice before she heard this troubling news. The first three months are the most delicate for a pregnant woman, and the Fourth Daughter-in-law has always been somewhat frail. It was uncertain whether the child could be saved.
