Pei Rong's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly sank.

He had already known from Xie Yun that Xie Jia was pregnant, otherwise he would not have come to propose marriage and would not have been so anxious to marry her.

But he never expected that Xie Jia's appearance would be ruined and his right eye would be injured!

That old scoundrel Xie Yun cheated him so badly!

Xie Jia definitely didn't get injured recently. It's very likely that she was injured long before he proposed to her.

Otherwise, why would Xie Yun be so anxious? And why would he deliberately make excuses to prevent him from seeing Xie Jia?

I just hate that he is so stupid. He thought of countless possibilities but never thought that Xie Jia would be disfigured!

He is already a Juren, and in the future he will become a Jinshi and serve as an official in the court!

How can Xie Jia, who looks like a ghost, be his legal wife?

The more Pei Rong thought about it, the angrier he became. He could no longer face Xie Jia's disgusting face, so he turned around and walked out without saying anything.

Xie Jia was stunned!

What does Pei Rong mean?

He knew she was pregnant, but he didn't even say a word and just left her like that!

Xie Jia stood up suddenly and wanted to chase after him angrily, but he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach!

"Ah——" She shrank back in pain and couldn't help but reach out to Pei Rong, "Pei Lang, my stomach hurts so much..."

Pei Rong paused slightly, then rushed out even faster.

Xie Jia stared at his resolutely departing figure, his eyes widening in disbelief: He actually... How could he be like this...

She clutched her stomach in pain.

In the darkness of the night, the black starling stood on the branch, watching everything coldly.

Xie Jia shrank back in pain, but his eyes were fixed on Pei Rong who rushed out.

It was not until Pei Rong's figure completely disappeared that tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, washing away the overly thick makeup.

She applied these makeup powders after meals because she was worried that Pei Rong would see the scars on her face.

A thick layer of it was applied, making the whole person look pale like a ghost, and with his right eye covered with gauze, it was even more creepy.

At this moment, tears welled up in Xie Jia's eyes, and the tear marks on his face were particularly obvious.

But she no longer cared about all this. The sudden severe pain in her abdomen made her very uneasy.

Now her only hope is this child. If something happens to the child, she will never be able to have children again, and Pei Rong will definitely dislike her even more.

Thinking of this, Xie Jia couldn't help but recall Pei Rong's resolute back just now.

That back view is so ruthless!

Throw her away like a piece of trash!

Xie Jia felt extremely regretful.

Why had she been so headstrong in the first place? Why had she eloped with Pei Rong? If she hadn't eloped, and had obediently chosen the man her mother had chosen, wouldn't all this have happened?

She forgot that Xie Yi and Xie Xin were both engaged, but something happened to the Xie family, so their in-laws came to cancel the engagement.

If she had not eloped with Pei Rong and had been engaged to someone else, she would have been unmarried by now.

Besides, she has lost face, so who would marry her?

If she hadn't eloped, she would have to stay at home to recuperate, feeling miserable.

Xie Jia burst into tears and asked the maid to help her back to bed to rest.

The maid stopped her worriedly: "Miss, are you still in pain? Do you want to see a doctor?"

"No... no need..." Xie Jia gritted her teeth, not daring to scream. "I can't call a doctor! I can't let anyone know that I'm pregnant!"

The maid also knew that if this matter were to get out, it would be a huge scandal, so she stopped talking about it.

Xie Jia didn't bother to take off his clothes, he just curled up on the bed and pulled the quilt to cover himself.

But the pain in her abdomen still made her feel cold all over and broke out in cold sweats.

On the other side, in the main room.

When Pei's mother heard the report from the servant, her face turned very ugly.

Although the servants were unable to enter the house to check on Xie Jia's condition, they only vaguely heard voices, which were not clear.

But the ugly expression on Pei Rong's face when he rushed out of the bridal chamber was enough for Pei's mother to guess what was going on.

She sat there stiffly with a gloomy face, never saying a word.

The servant endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help asking, "Young Madam seems to have a stomachache. Do you want to call a doctor?"
