The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

"Qiao'er, you are pregnant now. You must take good care of yourself. Is the baby okay? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Su Qiaoer felt warm in her heart and her eyes turned slightly red.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. The fetus's pulse is stable and there's nothing serious going on. However, there have been so many things going on in the mansion these days that I can't help but feel worried."

Upon hearing this, the old lady's face darkened and she looked at Lu Ming.

"Ming'er, as a man, you should share more of Qiao'er's worries. How can you let Qiao'er work so hard while she's pregnant?"

Lu Ming quickly bowed and said, "Ming'er was negligent. Qiao'er has been worried about her cousin's affairs recently. Although I wanted to comfort her, it was difficult to relieve her worries. Please punish me, old lady."

The old lady sighed softly.

The old lady turned to look at Su Qiao'er and said earnestly, "Qiao'er, don't take it too seriously. I'll go ask Wan Qing what happened tomorrow."

Su Qiaoer was deeply moved, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank you, old lady. Qiaoer understands."

The old lady gently patted the back of Su Qiaoer's hand.

"Well, it's getting late. You should go back and get some rest. I'll send someone to get a midwife to check you tomorrow to make sure everything is fine."

Lu Ming and Su Qiaoer were both grateful when they heard this.

The two men bowed to the old lady again and left her residence hand in hand.

After returning to the residence, Lu Ming helped Su Qiaoer lie down on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Then he said softly, "Qiao'er, you should have a good rest first. I will go find a midwife for you tomorrow morning."

Su Qiaoer nodded, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Lu Lang, thank you."

Lu Ming chuckled and reached out to gently pinch her cheek.

"Silly boy, do we even need to say thank you between you and me?"

When Su Qiaoer heard this, she felt sweet in her heart and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Lu Ming talked to Su Qiaoer for a while until she fell asleep, then he turned and left.

The next morning, Lu Ming got up early and went to the city to find a midwife.

After some inquiries, he finally found an experienced midwife and invited her back to his house.

The midwife carefully examined Su Qiaoer and confirmed that she was fine and the fetus's pulse was stable. She just told her to rest well and not to overwork herself.

After hearing this, Lu Ming finally felt relieved.

He personally saw the midwife off and instructed the servants to take good care of Su Qiao'er before turning around and heading to the study to handle some official business.

However, as soon as he walked into the study, he saw Lin Wanqing sitting at the desk, holding an account book in his hand, reading it with great interest.

Seeing Lu Ming come in, Lin Wanqing put down the account book, looked up at her, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Your Majesty, you are back."

Lu Ming frowned slightly, but there was no extra expression on his face.

"Why are you here?" he asked calmly.

Lin Wanqing chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

She slowly stood up, walked to Lu Ming's side, and said softly: "My Lord, as the wife of the prince, I naturally have to assist the old lady in managing the affairs of the mansion. This study is also a place I often visit. Is there anything wrong with that?"

When Lu Ming heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. He had not expected Lin Wanqing to respond so directly, and there was even a hint of provocation in his words.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm.

"You naturally have the right to manage the affairs of the mansion, but the study is where I handle official business. I hope you can respect my private space."

Lin Wanqing's lips curled up into a smile, as if she didn't take Lu Ming's words to heart.

"Your Highness is mistaken. I don't mean to interfere in your affairs. I'm simply concerned about the affairs of the mansion. Besides, as your wife, do I not even have the right to enter the study?"

Lu Ming frowned, he didn't want to continue to entangle with Lin Wanqing.

"If you have business to discuss, we can talk about it later." Lu Ming said, turning around to leave.

Lin Wanqing suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Prince, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

Lin Wanqing's tone suddenly became serious.

"I am not only your nominal mother, but also the mistress of this Prince's Mansion. Is it inappropriate for you to treat me like this?"

Lu Ming's face darkened completely. He stared at Lin Wanqing coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Wanqing, please recognize your own identity and don't push your luck."

Lu Ming's voice was cold and firm. "If you dare to be so rude and make trouble again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lin Wanqing was shocked by Lu Ming's aura and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Lu Ming pushed Lin Wanqing away and strode out of the study.

Lin Wanqing staggered and almost fell to the ground. She glared at Lu Ming's back angrily, her eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

After Lu Ming left the study, he felt annoyed. He didn't want to have a conflict with Lin Wanqing, but the other party repeatedly challenged his bottom line.

Recalling the scene just now, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel even more disappointed and disgusted with Lin Wanqing.

He decided to find an opportunity to discuss the matter with the old lady and see how to solve this problem.

However, at this moment, a servant came running over in a hurry.

"My Lord, something bad has happened! Aunt Su, she's had her bleeding!"

When Lu Ming heard this, his face suddenly changed and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

He quickly turned around and followed the servant towards Su Qiaoer's residence.

Along the way, his heart beat extremely fast and he kept praying in his heart that Su Qiaoer would be safe.

When Lu Ming walked into Su Qiaoer's room, he saw Su Qiaoer lying on the bed with a pale face and bloodstains on the hem of her skirt.

His heart sank suddenly, and he quickly walked to the bed and held Su Qiaoer's hand tightly.

"Qiaoer, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Ming asked anxiously.

Su Qiaoer's face was pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. She opened her eyes slightly and when she saw Lu Ming, tears flashed in her eyes.

"Lu Lang, my stomach hurts so much. Will our baby be okay?" Su Qiaoer's voice trembled slightly.

Hearing this, Lu Ming felt a pang of pain in his heart. He gently held Su Qiao'er's hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Qiao'er. I'll go get a doctor right away. You and the baby will be fine."

After saying that, Lu Ming turned around and ordered the servant, "Go get the doctor! Quick!"

Upon hearing this, the servant did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and ran out.

Lu Ming turned to the maidservant beside him and said, "Take good care of Aunt Su. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible!"

Upon hearing this, the maids nodded in agreement, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After arranging everything, Lu Ming sat down on the bed again, held Su Qiaoer's hand tightly, and kept comforting her.

After a while, the doctor came hurriedly and examined Su Qiaoer carefully.

Lu Ming stood aside, looking at the doctor's face nervously, afraid of hearing some bad news.

Finally, the doctor finished the examination and turned to Lu Ming and said, "My Lord, Aunt Su is having a miscarriage and there are signs of miscarriage, but fortunately it happened in time. I will prescribe some medicine to keep the baby safe. I think the baby can be saved."
