Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Feeling extremely sad, Xiao Jingheng took a deep breath, suppressed his strange emotions, and whispered: "Chun Tao, please help me take good care of your young lady."

"Don't worry, Master Xiao. This is my duty and I will do it well. If Master Xiao has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"Go back." Xiao Jingheng waved his hand and turned to leave. Now that Shangguan Chu was pregnant, he didn't know how to save the relationship.

My heart felt empty, as if a large piece of it had been dug out. The matter of reconciliation was put on hold for the time being. The next day, several teachers who had been caught cheating were sentenced to five years in prison.

The families of those teachers were unwilling to accept this, so they deliberately put up banners, paraded them through the streets, and spread rumors.

"The Duke's wife got in through the backdoor, so the spring exam is unfair."

They shouted loudly, and on the banner, there were a few big words written clearly, confirming that Wan Shufang's student grades were obtained with the help of Chen Changli who used the back door.

"We are ordinary people, we just want fairness and justice, please help us."

Several people cried and shouted all the way, looking very pitiful. But before they could say a few words, the road in front of them was suddenly blocked by people sent by Chen Changli, and they immediately became alert.

One of the masters' wives stood up and said with her neck stiff, "What are you doing? Do you want to forcibly arrest us in broad daylight?"

Hearing this, the people in the yamen did not panic. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, they calmly took out a document and read it in front of everyone.

"The evidence is solid that the teacher of Qingyun Academy tampered with the test papers. The case has already been concluded after interrogation. This is their confession to convict him." The people in the yamen read out the confession and distributed it again.

They even posted evidence of their bribery. In an instant, everyone turned against them. The people were furious when they saw that these teachers had such bad deeds.

"Bah, you made a mistake yourself, yet you still have the nerve to come out and complain and slander others."

"It's really shameful. In the entire Qingyun Academy, there is only Master Wan who is a powerful and upright master. How can we allow you to wrongly accuse him?"

"Get out of here, you evildoer."

Passersby kept cursing and spitting, and the people from the yamen saw that the time was almost right, so they stepped forward, took away the banner, and took the men away.

It was a farce that ended miserably as several people were taken away in disgrace, and those teachers and their families were completely disgraced from then on.

It didn't take long for Wan Shufang to hear what happened on the street. After learning everything, she looked at Chen Changli in surprise, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "My Lord, I didn't expect you to be so cruel."

"That move was much more efficient than I thought." She praised generously, her eyes blinking with a gleam in them that made people's hearts tremble and they couldn't help but be fascinated by her.

Chen Changli pinched her face, looking helpless: "If they dare to attack you, they should know that this will be the end. If they dare to touch my people, I will naturally make them feel the pain."

Hearing this overbearing remark, Wan Shufang couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, our Lord Duke is the most powerful."

"My wife is amazing too."

Chen Changli held her head, looking at her slightly open red lips with affectionate eyes. His Adam's apple rolled up and down involuntarily, and he lowered his head to kiss her.

The words that Wan Shufang hadn't spoken yet were stuck in her throat.

At the same time, the Xiao family.

When Xiao Jingheng learned what Chuntao said, he was disheartened and couldn't sleep the whole night. He tossed and turned, but love finally prevailed.

He went out at dawn, preparing to buy some pregnancy-maintaining and tonic medicines for Shangguan Chu, but when passing by a drugstore, he accidentally bumped into Chuntao who was walking in a hurry.

Chuntao screamed, the medicine bag fell to the ground, and she picked it up hurriedly.

"Xiao... Young Master Xiao." Chun Tao was panicked for a moment when she saw Xiao Jingheng. Although she tried her best to hide it, Xiao Jingheng still caught it.

He grabbed Chuntao's wrist and said in a cold tone: "Chuntao, what medicine did you buy?"

"I…"

Just as Chun Tao was about to speak, the medicine boy from the medicine shop suddenly ran out with a medicine bag in his hand and shouted, "Girl, you still have medicine. This medicine is very strong and may harm your body. You must take it with this."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jingheng's face suddenly changed. He had vaguely guessed what the medicine was. He hurriedly stopped Chuntao and said anxiously: "Chuntao, why did you buy this medicine? What happened to your young lady?"

"Mr. Xiao, I..." Chun Tao hesitated and looked embarrassed, but when she thought of Xiao Jingheng's feelings for Shangguan Chu, she decided to tell the truth.

Just as she was about to speak, Shangguan Chu suddenly appeared, stopped Chuntao, looked at Xiao Jingheng with a cold expression, and said softly: "Xiao Jingheng, I don't need to ask you for permission when I buy medicine, right?"

When he saw Shangguan Chu again, Xiao Jingheng looked dazed and his voice trembled a little.

"Achu, I'm worried about you." He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Shangguan Chu, but saw her take a step back, cold and distant, rejecting his kindness.

"I already have a fiancé, so Mr. Xiao, please don't worry about what's right or wrong. Mr. Xiao, please be careful."

Shangguan Chu's words completely severed the connection between the two people. Looking at her cold look, Xiao Jingheng felt extremely distressed.

He also regretted even more what happened between him and Chen Luoluo, which caused Shangguan Chu to misunderstand him.

"Ah Chu, I'm sorry." His Adam's apple rolled and his voice was low: "It's my fault that I didn't protect you well, and you..."

"Xiao Jingheng, this is not your fault, and I don't need your protection. Don't be so self-indulgent. We won't see each other again in the future." With that, Shangguan Chu took Chuntao's hand and turned to leave.

She left so resolutely. Xiao Jingheng stretched out his hand but did not have the courage to keep her. He could only watch the two of them walk away. Therefore, he did not notice that the moment Shangguan Chu turned around, her eyes were filled with tears.

She raised her head, suppressed the urge to cry, and hurriedly took Chuntao back.

After returning to the county magistrate's mansion, Shangguan Chu also calmed down his emotions and regained his composure. He looked at Chuntao coldly: "Chuntao, you are my maid."

"If you don't know what to say and what not to say, you don't have to stay with me."

Her tone was gentle, but her words were full of warnings, which frightened Chuntao so much that she fell to her knees and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Miss, please calm down. I know I was wrong."

Seeing her trembling with fear, Shangguan Chu sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense anymore."

As she spoke, she handed the abortion pill to Chuntao and asked someone to boil the medicine.

When the medicine was brought, Shangguan Chu endured the bitter taste and drank the abortion medicine in one gulp. As soon as the medicine entered her stomach, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Shangguan Chu also fell down holding the edge of the table, holding his stomach and letting out a muffled groan.

"Miss, what's wrong with you, miss?"

"It hurts..."

She murmured, a cry of pain escaping her lips.
