Chapter 53 (2/2)

In the dark night with only lanterns for illumination, the servants hurriedly went to save Mu Shuiqing and fetch a doctor.

As the main wife, Wen Wan was worried about delaying the guests as she saw this mess unfolding. She hurriedly said, “Siling, bring Marquis Jingwen and his children to the southern courtyard first. I’ll sort things out here.”

“Understood.” Qi Siling acknowledged her order and continued walking forward to led Marquis Jingwen.

By the time Ji Man got up from the ground, she saw that Mu Shuiqing was already completely drenched and had been taken out of the water. It was the middle of the winter and her face had changed

had changed colors from the cold. Ji Man hurriedly took off her small sleeveless jacket that was lined with rabbit fur to give to Mu Shuiqing, so that she could at least be bundled up.

Mu Shuiqing’s lips kept trembling and she wasn't able to speak. Before she had time to say anything, Banxia had already started helping her return to Feiyu Couryard.

Although Mu Shuqing’s baby wasn’t favored, no one would be able to peacefully sleep tonight after something like this happened.

Ji Man rubbed her forehead. What was meant to happen would still inevitably happen. She just knew that Mu Shuiqing wouldn’t be able to keep her baby. The male lead still had to spend an entire lifetime with the female lead as a couple. How could a child from another woman be allowed to exist?

The important point was, who would be charged with the crime of killing the marquis’s eldest child?

Just as Ning Yuxuan was about to go Qiangwei Courtyard, he was called to Feiyu Courtyard.

Mu Shuiqing had already taken a warm bath and drank ginger tea, but she still caught a cold. Her face was deathly pale.

Doctor Li had come to check her pulse and seriously said, “You’re pregnant, so you can’t take medicine. Master Qing, you’ll have to recover from this cold by yourself.”

Catching a cold in ancient times wasn’t a minor thing the way it was in modern times. If she didn’t drink medicine, the cold could become serious enough to take

enough to take her life.

As soon as Mu Shuiqing heard these words, she felt slightly hopeless. If she really couldn’t overcome this cold on her own, not only would she not be able to keep her baby, she would also be throwing away her own life.

Ning Yuxuan stood far way from the bed as if he was afraid of catching her cold and only said, “Take care of yourself,” before he started to leave with Wen Wan.

Mu Shuiqing’s eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth as she said, “My lord, aren’t you going to investigate who tried to harm this servant?”

Why had someone suddenly pushed her without rhyme or reason as she was walking? She would obviously get sick if she was pushed into cold water during the middle of winter, so why had someone deliberately push her into the water?

Ning Yuxuan stopped walking. His instinctive response was to look at Nie Sangyu.

Seeing his gaze, Ji Man's expression sunk. “Although it was dark out, people would have still seen things. My lord, you have plenty of time to investigate. There’s no need for you to make a final decision in your heart beforehand.”

Someone had also pushed her. Why was she the first person that he suspected? Ji Man felt extremely angry. The thing that she hated the most in her life was being falsely accused. Whoever tried to place this blame on her, she wouldn’t let that person have a good ending!
