"Miss, something's happened!" Xilan looked at Song Yu'er, hesitating to speak.

"What happened? Speak!" Song Yu'er had been quite irritable lately, and her words were very sharp.

“I heard from outside that Song Siyao was poisoned in the palace last night,” Xilan said.

Upon hearing this, Song Yu'er immediately stood up, abandoning her chicken soup, and excitedly grabbed Xi Lan's hands, "Really? Is she already dead?"

Xilan shook her head. "She didn't die. She came back to life on her own."

"What?!" Song Yu'er's expression changed drastically. "She's not dead? What are you telling me? She's not dead?"

"Miss, not only has she come back to life, but she has also been granted the title of Princess." Xilan didn't dare to look at Song Yu'er, for fear that she would get angry.

However, Song Yu'er still got angry.

Enraged, she grabbed a plate from the table and smashed it to the ground.

She glared at Xilan. "What else? Tell me all at once!"

Xilan spilled everything she had found out, like pouring out beans.

"Miss Yang originally intended to help us, but she was punished for scolding Song Siyao, and Lord Yang was also punished."

"Also, Miss, the old lady has passed away."

Upon hearing this, Song Yu'er was stunned, standing there dumbfounded.

Yang Minjing likes Song Wenwu. Song Yu'er finds Yang Minjing and asks her to help deal with Song Siyao.

Yang Minjing readily agreed.

As a result, before Yang Minjing could even make a move, she was punished for insulting Song Siyao.

If she can't get rid of Song Siyao this time, there will be another chance; she can wait.

However, her mother died.

How could her mother have died?

Song Yu'er had very mixed feelings about her mother.

Having a prisoner's mother made Song Yu'er feel ashamed.

However, when her mother actually died, she felt very sad.

From then on, she was a child without a mother.

I'd rather have a beggar's mother than an official's father.

Although her father is still alive, he is far less capable than her mother.

In that instant, all the good things her mother had ever done for her came flooding back.

No matter what she did, even something as simple as climbing into Meng Zhanting's bed, her mother never scolded her.

She used to be a child loved by her mother.

Even if the whole world were against her, her mother would stand by her side without hesitation.

Now, her father doesn't care about her, Meng Zhanting ignores her, and she has no friends or relatives.

She appears to have a family, but in reality, she is like a lonely person.

From then on, she was a motherless child, like a wild grass, like a duckweed.

It took Song Yu'er a long time to react. Tears streamed down her face, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

How did my mother pass away?

"I heard he died suddenly from an illness. By the time the jailer found him this morning, he was already gone," Xilan said.

Song Yu'er sat listlessly in the chair, her eyes vacant, and murmured, "She was always in good health, how could she suddenly fall ill? What kind of illness is so serious that she's gone?"

Xilan didn't know how to respond, so she could only advise, "Miss, please don't do this, be careful not to upset the baby."

Fetal gas?

Song Yu'er realized that she was pregnant.

She reached out and touched her lower abdomen, and then she felt a warm sensation between her legs.

A bad feeling welled up inside her.

"Xilan, quickly call a doctor! My child! My child!" Song Yu'er cried out in terror.

"Help! Someone help me!" Xilan was also terrified and ran while shouting.

The child in Song Yu'er's womb is now their guarantee of survival in the General's Mansion.

This child absolutely cannot be harmed.

Meng Zhanting happened to be at his residence today and was not on duty.

Upon hearing Xilan's shouts, he quickly sent someone to fetch his doctor.

Soon, the doctor came.

Madam Meng, Meng Zhanting, Madam Luo, and the people from the eldest branch of the family all rushed over and surrounded Song Yu'er's courtyard.

Song Yu'er gripped Meng Zhanting's hand tightly, crying, "Brother Ting, is it possible that we can't save our baby?"

Meng Zhanting let Song Yu'er hold his hand. Although he was extremely impatient, he still felt sorry for the child and comforted her, "Don't worry, there's a doctor here."

The doctor was still taking his pulse, shaking his head repeatedly, frowning, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had been observing Song Yu'er's pulse all along, but why has her pulse changed today?

Madam Meng noticed something was wrong with the doctor, so she asked, "Doctor, how is the child?"

The doctor dared not speak.

Meng Zhanting added, "Doctor, please just say what you want to say. We can accept it."

The doctor shook his head and mustered his courage to say, "Aunt Song was not pregnant before; she is just experiencing a loss today."

"What?" Old Madam Meng asked in surprise and anger, "Doctor, what are you saying? You said she was pregnant before, and now you're saying she's not pregnant. Aren't you talking nonsense?"

The doctor explained, "Madams, I don't know what happened either. I'm willing to refund all the previous consultation fees so you can go and find another doctor to come and see me."

Song Yu'er cried even harder, "Doctor, what do you mean? It's clearly my child who's gone, how could it be menstrual blood?"

She would rather the child be gone than accept that her period had started.

If a child is lost, another can be conceived. If menstruation resumes, it means that her previous pregnancy was a false one.

For her, faking a pregnancy would be an enormous punishment.

Meng Zhanting will definitely despise her, and the others in the General's Mansion will ridicule her.

She will become the laughingstock of the entire capital.

She had no place in the general's mansion anymore. From then on, she would never be able to hold her head up and would live a life worse than death.

The doctor explained helplessly, "It was indeed my fault, but I can't lie. Your pulse did indicate pregnancy before, but it doesn't today. Your condition is more like menstrual irregularity."

"You're lying! You're framing me!" Song Yu'er cried out in anger and grief, "My child is gone, and you're still making up stories about me like this!"

"Stop talking! Go and fetch another doctor!" Madam Meng ordered.

Today, she is determined to get to the bottom of this matter.

She glared at Song Yu'er, "Song Yu'er, if I find out you used a fake pregnancy to get into the General's Mansion, I will definitely kick you out!"

Soon, a new doctor arrived.

Four doctors arrived.

They each took Song Yu'er's pulse, and the results were the same: Song Yu'er was indeed not pregnant, but her period had started.

"Song Yu'er, what else do you have to say? You are truly shameless, daring to use a fake pregnancy to enter my General's Mansion. Today, my General's Mansion is divorcing you!"

Madam Meng was so angry that her face turned ashen.
