“Two months…” Nian Qiaoyue murmured again.

"enough."

Doctor Li didn't know why she did this, but he still prescribed the corresponding medicine for her. While writing the prescription, he advised: "Girl, the sooner you deal with your current condition, the better. Otherwise, when the fetus is fully formed, you will be in danger."

Nian Qiaoyue stroked her belly and did not answer him. After the prescription was written, she stuffed a silver ingot into Doctor Li's pocket and sent him out personally.

Back in the house, she took the prescription, glanced at it quickly, and sighed.

She looked down at her belly, her eyes full of worry.

The baby in her belly was dead. She knew it was a stillbirth three months ago when she was in Xiangru Palace. But in order to survive and marry Qin Fengtian, she tried her best to conceal it. Fortunately, the queen did not care about her fetus and did not notice anything.

There are only two months left, and the child cannot be saved no matter what. She can only use the last bit of value of the child...

I already have a plan in mind, now I just need to keep calm and take my time.

Nian Qiaoyue closed her eyes to hide the tiredness in them.

Mrs. Zhang suddenly came in with a pregnancy-preserving medicine, smiling with a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Second Miss, come and take the medicine."

Nian Qiaoyue didn't even turn her head, and didn't even bother to give her a glance. She said coldly, "Put it down. I'll drink it later."

Mrs. Zhang seemed to hear the alienation and coldness in her tone. The smile on her face froze, but soon returned to normal. She put down the pregnancy-preserving medicine and did not leave immediately.

She smiled flatteringly, "Second Miss, I have the most experience in serving pregnant women. When your mother was pregnant with you, I was the one who served tea and water to her. It's best to drink this pregnancy-maintaining medicine while it's hot. Otherwise, once the medicine gets cold, its effectiveness will be reduced by half."

Nian Qiaoyue was annoyed by the nagging. She took advantage of the moment when Mrs. Zhang paused and yelled impatiently, "It's so annoying! Shut up!"

Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that her whole body shook a few times. She took a few steps back tremblingly, with a look of panic on her face.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Second Miss, don't be angry. Being angry is not good for the fetus. If you don't want to hear me shut up, just shut up."

She walked away, rubbing the hem of her clothes.

Nian Qiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Mansion.

Su Yue was arranged to live in the Liyuan Garden which was closest to Xiao Jianting's bedroom. Because she was a concubine and had followed him back from Jiangnan, there was no grand ceremony when she entered the Xiao Mansion. Everything was kept simple, and there was not even a decent banquet. This was also Su Yue's own idea.

On the tenth day after her arrival in Shengjing, she moved into the Liyuan as Xiao Jianting's concubine. Those who knew about this thought that Xiao Jianting was afraid of wronging this delicate beauty from Jiangnan, so he couldn't wait to take her into his mansion.

In fact, Xiao Jianting did this on purpose, and the rumors spreading outside just achieved the effect he wanted.

Su Yue was not yet accustomed to life in Shengjing, and her health had not been good to begin with. She fell ill like a mountain and slept soundly for several days. Xiao Jianting took care of her day and night, and finally she began to feel better.

That day, Xiao Jianting went out to buy the sweet glutinous rice balls that Su Yue liked to eat. As soon as he left, Wang Yuejiao came.

Wang Yuejiao came alone, without any attendants. There were few servants in the opera house, and she drove them all away.

When I entered Su Yue's dormitory, I saw her leaning on the couch reading a book. Her bun was loosely tied up, her face was pale, and she looked sickly and weak. Anyone seeing her would feel pity for her.

Wang Yuejiao was also dazzled and stood there in a daze until Su Yue called her. She came to her senses and her dull eyes instantly turned vicious.

She took two or three steps forward and came to the couch. Su Yue lifted the blanket and wanted to get off the ground to greet her. Unexpectedly, she got up too quickly and fell back. Holding the edge of the couch, she looked up at Wang Yuejiao and said, "I'm sorry, Madam. I'm not feeling well and can't get up to greet you. Please forgive me."

She was considerate and polite, and did her best to do everything so that no one could find fault with it, just to give Wang Yuejiao no reason to target her.

But she didn't know that when you hate someone, no matter what she does, you will always find something you are dissatisfied with. Even if she does nothing but just stands there, you will feel that she is blocking the way. Wang Yuejiao saw that she was in such a state.

Wang Yuejiao picked up the book that had fallen beside her, flipped through a few pages, and showed a mocking look, "Pfft! You're still reading "University"? Can you read it if you can read?"

She threw "University" out, and the book slid for a distance and stopped when it hit the leg of the table.

Su Yue's eyes followed the book until she slowly stopped. She clutched the blanket beneath her, her chest rising and falling more and more.

Wang Yuejiao smiled disdainfully, "Didn't you come from a brothel? Why are you pretending to be a lady from a noble family? Even if you put on the dragon robe, you don't look like a prince. Besides, Xiao Jianting is not here, who are you pretending for?"

"Young Madam." Su Yue suppressed her emotions and tried to remain calm. She said with a choked throat, "Whether it's a woman in a brothel or a beggar begging on the street, they all have the right to read. Reading is not a monopoly for anyone, and it's not only for the rich and powerful."

Wang Yuejiao glanced at Su Yue and said meaningfully, "I thought you guys in the brothel only taught how to seduce men, how to make men happy, and how to make men enjoy themselves. I didn't expect you even taught reading and writing?"

Although Su Yue could tolerate it, it was hard not to get angry when she heard her use such vicious words to belittle herself.

Her nails were almost digging into her flesh, and veins popped out on her forehead.

Seeing that she was angry, Wang Yuejiao became even angrier and scolded her even more severely, belittling her background.

Su Yue just kept staring at her without interrupting or refuting, like a piece of wood. Wang Yuejiao got tired of scolding and stopped.

Su Yue supported herself on the couch and slowly stood up. Her eyes became firm, as if she had the ability to see into people's hearts, and she looked directly into Wang Yuejiao's innermost thoughts.

Wang Yuejiao felt a little guilty after being stared at and took a few steps back.

Su Yue sighed, "Madam, I know you have a hard time, but what have I done wrong? Will you feel better if you scold me? Or will your life change if you scold me?"

Wang Yuejiao was speechless.

"I don't know about your relationship with Master Xiao, and I don't want to get involved. Please don't drag me into this."

"If you are trying to humiliate me and make Master Xiao angry so that he can divorce you, I advise you not to do so."

Su Yue's face was calm, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

Wang Yuejiao was anxious. Her little plan was exposed by Su Yue. She was naturally devastated, but she also wanted to know why Su Yue said that.

She tried to stay calm and asked, "Why? Doesn't Xiao Jianting like you very much?"
