As soon as the nanny said this, the Marquis's wife collapsed to the ground. She sat on the ground, slapped her thighs, and cried loudly, "What a sin I have committed! I was living a good life, but now it has become like this. How will I explain this to the people from the Duke's Mansion when they come back?"

"Back then, I planned everything just so that she could become the legitimate daughter. But now she's fine. She's having a miserable life. I planned all those years just for her, but now look at how she's doing."

"A daughter of a noble Marquisate, yet she actually had an affair with someone else, even at her sister's wedding, in front of so many people. She finally got pregnant, but the Crown Prince is injured. If she just gets rid of the child, the Duke's Mansion will spoil her to the skies, but what about her?"

"He aborted the child. Isn't this the birthday star who is seeking death because he thinks his life is too long?"

The Marquis's wife was crying heartbrokenly, while the nanny was preparing to abort Chu Xiao's fetus.

I don’t know how much time passed, I only know that the Marquis’s wife was crying so hard that she was out of breath, and only then did the nanny deliver the dead baby.

Slowly, Chu Xiao opened her eyes, and Nanny and Du Juan helped her clean up the dirt on her body.

After everything was done, Mammy sat down in a chair, her whole body limp, and poured herself a cup of tea. "Master, it's a good thing we arrived in time, otherwise the young lady would have lost her life."

Chu Xiao finally realized what had happened. She looked at her stomach stiffly, reached out her hand and slowly touched it. It was obvious that her stomach, which had been a little stiff, was now empty.

Chu Xiao was stunned!

Seeing her daughter like this, the Marquis's wife ran to the bedside to comfort her, but after talking for a long time, she didn't know who to blame for this matter. In the end, she could only say angrily, "Good child, there will be more in the future!"

It was this sentence that made Chu Xiao unable to hold back any longer. She hugged Madam Hou and burst into tears, "Mother, there will never be another one, there will never be another one!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. When it was time for dinner, the marquis's wife asked Dujuan to go out and prepare some food.

Du Juan had just walked to the door when Chu Xiao called her back, "Stop, come back, I have something to say."

Du Juan walked to Chu Xiao's bed and knelt down, "Master, do you want to eat anything?"

Chu Xiao looked at Du Juan stubbornly, "Don't let anyone know that I had a miscarriage. If anyone asks, just say that I've been having morning sickness and feeling unwell, and I need to rest for a few days."

Dujuan didn't dare to agree this time. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the Marquis's wife, looking at her questioningly.

Madam Hou took Chu Xiao into her arms and asked softly, "What do you want?"

Chu Xiao nodded, "Mother, we can't give up this child no matter what."

"But!"

"No buts, the prince can't do it, but there are many men who can!"

The Marquis's wife looked up at her daughter in shock, her eyes wide open, "You!"

After saying one word, she didn't know what to say next. After all, if she stepped forward to persuade her, she would be blocking her way.

But if you don't persuade yourself, it will be like holding a lit firecracker in your arms. You don't know when it will explode after the fuse burns out.

Chu Xiao looked at Madam Hou, her eyes full of pleading, "Mother, I really have no other way. Please, mother."

The Marquis's wife sighed helplessly, "Okay, if you need any help with this matter, just let Dujuan tell me."

The Marquis's wife glanced at Chu Xiao, and seeing that Du Juan was the only one beside her, she felt a little worried. "How about this, you've been too weak these past two days, so let Madam take care of you here. She'll go back once you're well."

Chu Xiao held her eyes with tears, not knowing whether she was sad or grateful, "Mother, thank you, you are always so good to me."

The Marquis's wife turned and left, and when she reached the door she sighed, "In this world, is there any mother who doesn't love her children?"

Chu Xiao looked at the sad back of Madam Hou, and her tears flowed more and more fiercely. She didn't know if God felt sorry for the child, but heavy rain poured down.

The Marquis's wife's carriage had just left the Duke's Mansion and she had not yet calmed down when it was stopped by someone.

The Marquis's wife thought Chu Xiao had something to ask, and just as she was about to ask, she heard the servant outside say, "Master, the Duke's wife has returned and sent a servant to tell her that she has something to discuss with you. Please go back."

"They also sent someone to invite the master!"

The Marquis's wife looked at the box behind her, and her expression changed several times. Could they have received any news?

The Marquis's wife thought about it carefully. When she went there, there was no one around. After she went in, she was lying on the bed alone. Her body was extremely weak. If someone wanted to harm her, that would be the best time.

The most important thing to do at that time was to control the situation, but there was no one there, which only means that no one noticed it. Why was that?

Could it be that he really had something to ask them? But Chu Xiao's problems had already been resolved, and she was married, so what else could it be?

The Marquis's wife thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she could only go down first and deal with all kinds of changes with the remaining unchanged approach.

The marquis' wife was led to the front yard by a maid.

After entering the house, he exchanged a few pleasantries with the Duke's wife, and then the Marquis and the Duke came.

The Marquis's wife was already in a bad mood, and her eyes were red from crying.

The Duke leaned slightly closer to the Duke's wife, looked at the Marquis' wife, and whispered, "What's wrong with her?"

The Duke's wife glanced at the Marquis' wife with disdain and replied in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What else could this be? They must feel that their precious young lady was wronged in our house. She just came out of Chu Xiao's courtyard."

The Duke didn't say much after hearing this. Letting her enter this door was already a great concession. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would definitely not have been able to enter this door, and their Duke's Mansion would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

These things that happened later would not have happened, resulting in his son becoming a disabled person. Although he found a royal physician and spent a huge amount of money on him, no one knows whether he can be cured.

Now her son has a bad reputation, and it is a good-for-nothing reputation. Even people they looked down upon before will avoid them now.

The point is that he doesn’t know whether his son can make it now.

Now, whenever their family asks for mercy, no one is willing to intervene. Even those who are not as well-off as them are critical of them.

The two men exchanged glances, and the Duke looked at Marquis Pingyang and pondered for a moment, "Marquis Pingyang, we asked you to come here today because we have something to discuss with you."

"We are a family after all, so we should just speak our minds!"
