A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

When they arrived at the hospital, Sha Yanyao rushed in quickly holding Song Tingting.

When the nurses and doctors in the hospital saw this situation, they immediately gave it priority.

After various tests and treatments, she was finally stable and was assigned a ward. The doctor then told Sha Yanyao, "The patient accidentally fell and injured the fetus. She needs to stay in bed to protect the fetus."

It was only then that Gui'er suddenly realized that the servants' legend was true. Song Tingting was really pregnant. However, she had heard from the servants before that Song Tingting and Sha Yanyao were sleeping in separate rooms. Gui'er also saw Song Tingting sitting in a car with another man. This really couldn't help but arouse her imagination.

The driver who came with them had been standing aside waiting for instructions. When he heard the news, his neck shrank, his eyes widened, and he didn't know what to do.

Sha Yanyao said to the driver with a cold face, "If you dare to say even a single word of nonsense when you get back, I'll kick you out of the house immediately. Do you understand?"

The driver agreed repeatedly, but Sha Yanyao said to him impatiently, "Go wait in the car first."

The driver drove away as if he was running for his life.

As soon as the driver left, Sha Yanyao seemed to collapse and fell onto the bench outside the ward. Gui'er quickly stepped forward to support him and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Sha Yanyao held his forehead with his hand for a long time before he said weakly, "We have been sleeping in separate rooms for several months."

Gui'er was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to answer.

Sha Yanyao looked up at her, and perhaps thinking that she was a child and couldn't understand, he said directly: "This child is not mine."

Gui'er had never encountered such a situation before. She didn't know what to say for a moment and asked helplessly, "So what should we do now?"

Sha Yanyao scratched his hair angrily and irritably, and said, "I don't want to see her." Then he suddenly stood up and walked out.

Gui'er was shocked. Was he just quitting? However, for a man, it was indeed a great shame and humiliation for his wife to be pregnant with someone else's child.

But Gui'er couldn't ignore Song Tingting. She quickly pulled a nurse in from the corridor and said to her, "Miss Nurse, we have something to do at home and need to go back temporarily. We will arrange for a maid to come over later. Please take care of her for us."

The nurse said reluctantly, "I'm on duty and have other patients to deal with."

Gui'er was afraid she wouldn't agree, so she quickly took out a silver dollar from the small cloth bag hanging around her neck, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "Please, I really have something to do at home and I need to go back. The people we arranged will be here soon."

The nurse was very surprised when she saw the silver dollar, because her monthly salary was probably only two or three silver dollars. Her tone became much more relaxed and she said, "Okay, we need to arrange for someone to come here quickly."

Gui'er quickly smiled and said, "Of course, of course." Then she turned back to Song Tingting and said, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I'll go back right away and ask your maid to come over. I'll bring you some food when the time comes."

Song Tingting turned her head inside and said nothing.

Gui'er shook her head and left.

After doing all this, I ran to the hospital entrance and saw Sha Yanyao's car parked and waiting there.

Guier quickly opened the car door and got in, then drove away and returned directly to Sha Mansion.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of Sha Mansion, Sha Yanyao opened the door and walked straight into the house. Some servants came out curiously, probably wanting to know what was going on. Sha Yanyao ignored them and went straight upstairs to the study.

Gui'er got out of the car. Song Tingting's personal maid and nanny approached her cautiously and asked, "Miss, how is our young mistress?"

Gui Er didn't know what to say, so she said to them, "She needs to be hospitalized. Hurry up and pack some clothes and food and go take care of her. I'll ask Ah Cheng to take you there."

Then he called Ah Cheng over, explained the hospital address and ward number, and said to Ah Cheng, "Go to the kitchen and see if the food they prepared is ready. If it is, call a rickshaw to take them to the hospital. I'm afraid they will have to stay in the hospital for the next few days."

Then he went back to his room, took out two silver dollars and gave them to Ah Cheng, saying, "For the next two days, go to the hospital every morning and noon to see if there is anything you need. If you need money, pay it with these two silver dollars. If it's not enough, tell me."

Ah Cheng nodded and went to make the arrangements.

After a while, a nanny and a maid brought a bundle and a food box, got on the rickshaw that Acheng called, and went to the hospital.

Gui'er finally felt a little relieved.

Although Song Tingting was usually not nice to her, she was Song Xichen's sister after all, and she really couldn't ignore her.

She didn't dare to make a decision on her own about how to deal with this matter, so she could only wait and see.

She returned to her room exhausted. After a while, Dingxiang came in with milk. She said cautiously, "Miss, are you tired? Drink some milk and rest."

Guier nodded, picked up the milk, drank it all, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Dingxiang put the cup away. Before turning around and leaving the room, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the eldest young lady in good health?"

Gui'er knew that she liked gossiping and didn't want her to know too much, so she said vaguely, "Well, I need to stay in the hospital for a few days."

"Everyone said she was pregnant and needed to protect the fetus because of a fall. Is that true?"

"Are you guys just sitting around doing nothing? You've been in the Marshal's Mansion for so many years, and you still don't know the rules? How can you casually speculate and discuss the Master's affairs? If Mother and Big Brother hear about this and investigate, they'll chase you all out of the Mansion. What will you do then? Even I won't be able to protect you."

Ding Xiang was so frightened after hearing this that she quickly shrank her neck and said, "I know, Miss, I actually won't tell them. I just heard what others were saying."

Gui'er really had no choice but to speak more harshly, fearing that the maids, old women and servants would use this as a pastime out of boredom.

Although the rules were strict in the Marshal's Mansion, Gui'er found that the servants had become much more tired since they came to Nanjing. In addition to gossiping and gossiping, they often slacked off at work and insisted on stealing. Gui'er found that the supplies that Sha Yanxiao brought from Jiangcheng were secretly taken away by the servants. Acheng encountered several times that the kitchen staff actually took ginseng and fish maw to the black market to exchange for money. At first, he thought it was the mistress's idea, but he never thought that the servant went to brothels and casinos after selling the things. Acheng covered his face and beat the servant, snatched the money, and came back to report to Gui'er.

Gui'er was already living under someone else's roof and didn't want to force herself to be the one to take the blame, so she asked Dingxiang to count the things Sha Yanxiao brought her and lock them up. Only the lady's personal nanny could open the lock and take things out, so as to prevent them from being stolen and exchanged for money.
