"My son doesn't dare." Xiao Changchuan helped Nanny Chen up, took out his purse, and gave her some small change. "Nanny Chen, you must invite the doctor and the midwife."

"Yes, young master." Nanny Chen took the silver, turned around and left in a hurry.

Seeing her son act like this, Lan Shi was obviously angry with her, and she felt very uncomfortable, "Chuan'er, Mei Niang is just a concubine, don't you have the right to teach her a lesson?"

"Mother, do you know how important this child is to me and the entire Xiao family?"

He was extremely disappointed with his mother at this moment. She had beaten Mei Niang like this, yet she could still speak so confidently.

"Mother! Chu Feiyan has been driven away by you. Why can't you tolerate even a pregnant woman like Mei Niang? She is carrying my child. Do you have to let her die before you will let it go?"

Lan's body swayed. She didn't expect that her own son would think of her like this. "Xiao Changchuan, you don't like Chu Feiyan. You ignored her for two years. Now that she's gone, you put all the blame on me. You are really my good son!"

"I admit that I was wrong and I failed Chu Feiyan's feelings. But mother, I was young and hot-tempered at the time, why didn't you try to persuade me? It was you who said bad things about her in front of me all day long that made me believe it and hate her so much!

You all know that the Xiao family has fallen on hard times and that only Chu Feiyan can revive the mansion, but you take her efforts for granted.

Now that she's gone, the Xiao family has fallen! If it weren't for Prince An, you would have probably frozen to death on the way to exile. Shouldn't you be blamed for all this? " Xiao Changchuan vented all his dissatisfaction.

"You...you are such a rebellious son..." Lan pointed at him, her whole body shaking with anger.

"Isn't it your fault?" Xiao Zhengde's angry shout came from the door.

"My Lord, you..." Lan just turned around and was slapped in the face by Xiao Zhengde, "Bitch, you broke up our good family!"

"Chu Feiyan has been married into the Marquis' Mansion for two years. How have you treated her? Apart from trying to get money from her all day long, you also lecture her by relying on your status as an elder. Do you think you are a competent mother-in-law?" Xiao Zhengde was also forced to become tough!

Since Chu Feiyan left, things in the mansion have been in a mess, and even food and drink have become a problem. If they had been nicer to Chu Feiyan, would they have forced her to leave?

"Xiao Zhengde, your Xiao family is an empty shell to begin with. If I hadn't used my dowry to supplement the household expenses over the years, would you and your mother have lived comfortably for decades? Now you blame me...ah!"

Before Lan finished her words, Xiao Zhengde slapped her again, pointing at her nose and cursing:

"You clearly knew the situation in the mansion, but you took the money and didn't know how to be grateful! Feiyan was bullied by that beast Xiao Changqing, and not only did you not appease her, you also pushed her to a dead end, intending to seize her dowry. What do you think of her as a princess? Isn't all this your fault?"

Hearing his parents' quarrel, Xiao Changchuan felt very distressed. He regretted his past actions and realized how wrong he had been!

At this time, he also had some resentment towards Han Zhiyu. If it weren't for her instigation, he would not have abandoned Chu Feiyan and ran to the border. Moreover, his family members were all greedy, which led to such a situation. By the time he woke up, it was too late!

In his previous life, he didn't know how to cherish. Now that he has a new life, he wants to make amends but she no longer needs him. Is he destined to be apart from Chu Feiyan and just miss her like that?

"Husband, my stomach hurts so much..." Mei Niang's painful groan interrupted his wandering thoughts.

Xiao Zhengde then discovered that something was wrong with Mei Niang and asked, "Chuan'er, what's wrong with Mei Niang?"

"Mei Niang fell and is bleeding. The baby may be born prematurely." Xiao Changchuan told him.

"How could this happen?" Xiao Zhengde turned around and glared at Lan, furious. "It's all your fault again! If anything happens to the child, you'll die too!"

Chuan'er had already told him that the child in Mei Niang's belly was the incarnation of Wenquxing, and would be the top scholar in the imperial examination or even become a prime minister in the future. Therefore, both father and son were looking forward to the arrival of this child.

Lan covered her face and cried. One was her husband, and the other was her biological son, both were cowardly and irresponsible. The huge marquisate was supported by her alone, but they pushed all the faults onto a woman like her and scolded her for such a lowly concubine.

Even if the child is gone, he's just a bastard. What's the big deal?

If this happened in other wealthy families, a bastard's status would only be slightly higher than that of a servant. Is it worth making such a fuss about it?

"Go kneel outside and pray that the child is okay. Otherwise, I will give you a letter of divorce and ask you to get out of the mansion." Xiao Zhengde dragged Lan out and forced her to kneel in front of the door.

Xiao Changchuan watched coldly, sitting there without moving. Under normal circumstances, he would not let his father beat his mother, but this time his mother really disappointed him!

At this time, the old lady also came, walking tremblingly, supported by an old woman, and walking into the yard with a cane.

Seeing Lan kneeling in front of the door, he was stunned for a moment, but did not say anything and slowly walked into Mei Niang's room.

Ever since Xiao Changqing died, Fu also went crazy. The servants were sold or dismissed. The entire mansion became more and more depressed, and even three meals a day became a problem.

It was not until this time that Lu realized that the Xiao family was almost finished! She finally felt some remorse and went to the small Buddhist temple that Chu Feiyan built for her every day to burn incense and pray to God to bless the Xiao family.

Just now, she knew that Mei Niang was about to give birth, so she rushed over to take a look, hoping that the baby would be born safely.

Given the current situation in the Marquis' Mansion, Xiao Changchuan and Xiao Changlin will not be able to marry a wife.

The divorce between Chu Feiyan and Xiao Changchuan caused a lot of uproar, and no young lady was willing to marry into their mansion, and they couldn't afford to marry one.

Mrs. Lu was afraid that she would never have a great-grandson until her death, so she was looking forward to Mei Niang's child.

"Mother, why are you here?" Xiao Zhengde came over and helped her sit down.

"I came to see Mei Niang. What's the situation now?" Lu asked Mei Niang who was lying on the bed.

Xiao Changchuan didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say when people were like this.

Although Lu's eyesight was not very good, she could feel from the atmosphere that Mei Niang was in a bad condition. And when she came in, she saw Lan kneeling outside. She already knew what was going on, but she didn't want to care about it anymore and was too lazy to talk. She just left everything to fate!

About two quarters of an hour later, Nanny Chen called in the midwife and the doctor, and the doctor took Mei Niang's pulse first.
