Chapter 15: Saving the Unborn Baby
"You dared to attack me last time. Don't you think I didn't hit you hard enough? Now you dare to provoke me again."
Bad memories came to her mind, and Zhuang Qiuhe was indeed afraid. She ignored the pain on her face and took several steps back. "Aren't you just relying on your numbers? I tell you, even so, Ziqian has been on the battlefield before."
Zhuang Qiuhe was still instigating Qin Ziqian, "Ziqian, I have suffered such humiliation, don't you want to help me vent my anger?"
Jiang Lanxu heard the quarrel and rushed over, "Mother, sister, what happened here?"
Jiang Lanxu is a man of sturdy build, and even compared to Qin Ziqian, he is more imposing.
"Mom, stop talking nonsense, let's get out of here!"
I thought my son would support me, but I didn't expect Qin Ziqian to be a coward. "Now that the situation has changed, why are you so persistent?"
"They were the ones who bullied me and slapped me just now. Ziqian, you must stand up for me."
For the first time, Qin Ziqian felt that his mother was so unreasonable. Didn’t she know what her son was capable of?
If the police hadn't arrived in time to stop the fight, I don't know how bad the fight between the two families would have gone.
Qin Ziqian was like a defeated turtle and said no more.
Jiang Lanxu is a martial arts expert, but due to the emperor's suspicion, he has never been on the battlefield. Otherwise, with his military talent, he would have made great achievements on the battlefield.
At this moment, Jiang Siyu suddenly ran over and shouted anxiously, "Brother, it's not good. Sister-in-law said she is not feeling well."
When Jiang Lanxu heard that his wife was unwell, he turned around hurriedly to check.
Jiang Nianwei followed closely. At this moment, she couldn't let anyone in her family get into trouble.
Qiu Xuemei was so pale from the pain, her belly was slightly bulging, she covered her stomach with both hands, blood was beginning to seep out from under her body, "How could this happen? I clearly just took the pregnancy-preserving medicine today?"
"Husband, what should we do? Will the baby in your belly be in trouble?"
The couple had been married for three years before they had this child. Qiu Xuemei was very careful all the way, but she never expected such an accident to happen.
Jiang Nianwei first checked her sister-in-law's pulse and found that her pulse was disordered. She then asked Jiang Lanxu to take out the medicine she had just bought and smelled it. "The medicine should be fine."
"Sister-in-law, have you eaten anything else?"
Jiang Lanxu blamed himself and said, "I also brought her some plum blossom cakes. Meixue ate two pieces just now. Could this be the reason?"
Jiang Nianwei took the plum cake. Her five senses were more acute now, and she could smell the strange smells in food and medicinal herbs, and there was obviously a pungent smell among them.
"Where did you buy this plum blossom cake? Is there something added to it?"
Jiang Lanxu couldn't help but blame himself, "I bought it from the market."
"Has anyone else come into contact with plum cakes?"
"I didn't see anyone coming."
Seeing that her sister-in-law's condition was getting worse, Jiang Nianwei took the kettle, gave her a few sips of spring water, and asked Jiang Lanxu and the servants to quickly arrange for a doctor to come.
Jiang Lanxu was extremely anxious, after all, this matter concerned the lives of his wife and children.
After drinking the spring water, my sister-in-law's condition improved slightly, but now she can only wait for the doctor to check on her condition.
Then she began to examine her surroundings. Now, there were only two maids, Taozhi and Chunyu, and a Nanny Liu by her side.
Although these three people were outsiders, she had observed their words and actions over the past few days and found nothing unusual, so the person who poisoned her must be someone else.
The place where they were was like a large collective bunk bed, where all the prisoners were exiled, including the Qin family and other convicted officials.
The Qin family has the deepest conflict with them. They just quarreled with Zhuang Qiuhe's family. The biggest suspect is that Zhuang Qiuhe poisoned and wanted to harm the descendants of the Jiang family.
Thinking of this, Jing Qiudie stood up and went to find Zhuang Qiuhe to argue.
This time, Zhuang Qiuhe was very confident. She had never done such a thing, so she was naturally not afraid of the other party's suspicion.
Unexpectedly, she found that Qin Mengrui had an abnormal expression and was terrified, and had been hiding behind Qin Ziqian.
Zhuang Qiuhe knew her daughter best. When she saw her daughter's expression, she knew that she must have done something wrong.
While no one was paying attention, he pulled her aside and asked, “But you did it?
"Qin Mengrui's defense was instantly broken," Mother, I can't stand them acting like this, I just wanted to teach them a lesson, so I secretly added some safflower to the plum cake, but who knew that the woman was so weak and she bled so much.
"You..." Zhuang Qiuhe was angry and secretly happy, "Where did you get the red flower?"
She had looked down on the Jiang family for a long time. Seeing them get into such a situation, she felt naturally happy. However, she was also worried that her daughter would be discovered. If a dispute arose, they would certainly not be a match for the Jiang family.
"Meng Wan gave it to me before."
Meng Wanran also once told her that this medicine could induce abortion.
At a banquet two years ago, she accidentally fell into the lake and was rescued by Jiang Lanxu. From then on, she developed a special feeling for Jiang Lanxu.
When I met him again, I found out that he had already married, at his brother's wedding banquet.
From then on, she developed an inexplicable hostility towards Jiang Nianwei. If she had not married him, she would still have the opportunity to marry Jiang Lanxu, even as a co-wife, but at that time she had completely given up the idea.
During her exile, she saw Jiang Lanxu taking great care of his wife, and she began to have a delusion in her mind: if that woman died, would she have a chance...
She was concerned about Qiu Meixue's situation, hoping that she would die, and it would be best if there were two lives left.
Jiang Nianwei seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Knowing the plot in advance, how could she not know that this former sister-in-law was still thinking about her elder brother.
After the eldest brother passed away in the previous life, the book mentioned that Qin Mengrui buried flowers and mourned. But just a few months later, she turned around and married the ninth prince, became a princess, and lived a happy life.
Qin Mengrui should never, ever, poison her sister-in-law.
At this time, Jiang Lanxu finally arrived here with a doctor. After taking the patient's pulse, his face began to become serious.
"You can only save one of the adults and the children. It depends on your choice."
He needs to take medicine, but if the dosage is too heavy, the fetus in the belly cannot be saved at all. If he tries to save the fetus, the adult's body can only last until the moment the child is born, and he will die of blood loss.
Jiang Lanxu replied without hesitation: "Doctor, I want to save the master."
Qiu Xuemei hurriedly covered her stomach and struggled, "Husband, I want the child, please, keep the child!"
"Child, we can still have one in the future, but you...I must protect you."
"Please, husband, if I lose the child, I don't want to live anymore."
Jiang Nianwei suddenly remembered the Chinese medicine for preserving pregnancy that she had collected in the forest, so she pulled the doctor aside and started to discuss, "Doctor, can't we have two babies?"
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "Miss Jiang, although I have been practicing medicine for many years, my medical skills are still limited. Although I have the intention, I am unable to do so. I can only protect one of them."
"In that case, please give me two prescriptions, doctor. I will discuss it with my family and make a decision."
"Okay."
Jiang Nianwei held the prescription in her hand, and the Chinese medicine books she had read before emerged in her mind. She made a slight change to one of the old doctor's prescriptions and replaced two doses of Chinese medicine ingredients.
Then, she came to an uninhabited place and prepared seven days' worth of medicine according to the prescription. Many of the Chinese herbs were dug out from the mountains and carefully planted in the space. She also added the Ganoderma lucidum into the mix.
After Taozhi prepared the Chinese medicine, Qiu Meixue didn't dare to drink it easily. Although she was weak, she was more afraid of losing this hard-earned child.
Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei hurriedly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, please relax. I have discussed it in detail with the doctor and will ensure that the fetus in your belly can be well protected."
Hearing this, Qiu Meixue no longer hesitated and resolutely drank the bowl of medicine.
Jiang Lanxu stood aside, his eyes full of worry, but it was too late to stop it.
Jiang Nianwei pulled her eldest brother aside and comforted him, "I have improved the prescription just now. It will not harm your body."
Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei pulled her eldest brother aside and whispered, "Brother, don't worry. When I was in the Marquis' Mansion, I had the opportunity to meet a traveling female doctor. She had superb medical skills, so I learned a little from her. I have carefully checked the prescription just now and made some adjustments to ensure that it is harmless to my sister-in-law's body."
She was confident about this, otherwise she would not have let Qiu Meixue take it so easily.
Sure enough, two hours later, the bleeding stopped, Qiu Meixue's abdomen no longer hurt, and her originally depressed spirit gradually improved. Everyone felt relieved.
Now that the sister-in-law's condition has stabilized, she naturally cannot let the person who drugged her go.
Jiang Nianwei specially stewed a pot of braised pork in front of Qin Mengrui and Zhuang Qiuhe. The aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
Qin Mengrui couldn't help but suggest to Zhuang Qiuhe: "Mom, we should still have some money, why don't we buy some meat? I haven't eaten braised pork for a long time."
In the past, she thought that braised pork was too greasy and might affect her figure. However, when she smelled the aroma, she couldn't help but start to drool.
"You have to save the money for later, otherwise do you think we can live a peaceful life?" Zhuang Qiuhe admonished her, but in fact she felt sorry for her daughter.
Originally, the mansion had all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, silks and satins, but now, even a meal of braised pork has become a luxury.
Chunyu and Taozhi were enjoying the meal in front of them. The braised pork was cooked to perfection, with a rich soup. When poured over the rice, it gave off an enticing aroma, as if they were trying to show off in front of them.
"Chun Yu, this braised pork soup is poured over the rice, and the aroma is so fragrant. It's really delicious. You can finally enjoy the happiness by following our young lady." Tao Zhi's words were full of pride, as if she was deliberately provoking the mother and daughter.
Chunyu was a little uneasy at first, but after spending some time with Jiang Nianwei, she realized that she was actually a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"Yes, the lady treated us very well."
Not only were they well fed and clothed, they were also given warm cotton jackets. The Jiang family members were also very friendly and never shouted loudly. It was much better than serving Zhuang Qiuhe and the others.
Qin Mengrui became more and more angry when she saw this, so she walked away and never dared to approach them again.
Jiang Nianwei whispered a few words to Chunyu, asking her to bring a bowl of braised pork to Qin Mengrui, "Do as I say, and there must be no mistakes."
Chun Yu replied tremblingly, "I know."
While Zhuang Qiuhe was away, she quietly handed the bowl of braised pork to Qin Mengrui, "Miss Qin, eat it while it's still hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Qin Mengrui said angrily, "Go away, you traitor, I will never accept your kindness."
Chun Yu said in a humble tone: "Miss Qin, I had no choice. You can blame me, but I just want to make a living. You were nice to me in the past, so how could I hurt you? Don't worry, there is no drug in the braised pork."
As if to prove her innocence, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, "Look, I ate it too. If I wanted to harm you, why would I secretly bring it to you?"
Qin Mengrui's expression eased a little. Seeing that she had indeed eaten it, it seemed that there was no poison.
Chun Yu put the bowl and chopsticks beside her and said, "I'll leave them here and I'll leave now."
After Chunyu disappeared, Qin Mengrui's gaze returned to the bowl of braised pork. If her mother knew that she accepted Chunyu's kindness, she would definitely be scolded.
But the fragrance kept lingering at the tip of her nose, and she, who had no food in her stomach, could hardly resist such temptation.
"I'll just eat one piece. I shouldn't be noticed."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it into her mouth. The warm braised pork was fat but not greasy, with a hint of sweetness. She ate one piece after another, and she ate a whole bowl without stopping, drinking up all the soup.
Qin Mengrui burped and wiped her mouth contentedly. Jiang Nianwei's cooking skills were indeed good.
When she was about to rest, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
"Mom, my stomach hurts." Zhuang Qiuhe looked carefully and found several red spots on her daughter's arm. "Did you eat something wrong?"
Qin Mengrui didn't dare to admit that she had eaten the braised pork that Chunyu sent, "No, no..."
"to be frank!"
"I ate the braised pork that Chun Yu's slave brought me. She must have wanted to harm me, but she clearly ate it too. Why was it that only I got into trouble? Woo woo woo, mother, it hurts so much."
Qin Mengrui rolled on the ground in pain, cursing non-stop, "You stinky girl, you slut, you really have no good intentions!"
Seeing her like this, Jiang Nianwei felt happy and deliberately said loudly beside her: "People who covet other people's things will not have a good ending."
Zhuang Qiuhe was very disappointed with her daughter. She was a very smart girl, but she didn't know why her daughter was so stupid and was tricked by others.
But she couldn't admit it. If she admitted it, it would confirm the fact that Meng Rui poisoned a pregnant woman.
It turned out that the bowl of braised pork she served had only the soup in the bowl poisoned. Chunyu only ate a piece of meat that was not touched by the soup, so she was not poisoned.
And she also has the antidote, so even if Chunyu is accidentally poisoned, she will be fine.
When she cleared out the pharmacy, she bought a few poison pills that could harm people. Now she was using them on Qin Mengrui, letting her experience the pain.
Qin Mengrui's pain was as sharp as a knife, as if it was going to tear her apart.
She frowned, her pale face covered with cold sweat, and her voice was weak and trembling, "Mom, it really hurts, I can't stand it anymore."
Zhuang Qiuhe felt heartbroken. Seeing her daughter in pain, she felt heartbroken.
She wanted to find a doctor to treat her daughter, but the officers seemed to have been bribed by someone. Even though they took out all their money, the officers still refused to hire a doctor for them.
"Zi Qian, for your sister's life, go and beg that vicious woman!" Zhuang Qiuhe suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Ziqian and begged.
