Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 92 The Concubine of Prince Duan's Mansion (25)
March passes in the blink of an eye.
"You brat, why hasn't Shen Shu come to my room these past few days? Is he having another woman outside?"
Shen Shu slept alone in the study for ten consecutive days, which made Yan Li very dissatisfied.
Now that they had finally caught the eunuch serving him, Yan Li naturally wanted to interrogate him thoroughly.
Seeing that the little eunuch did not reply, she, as usual, directly pulled out her whip and lashed it hard at the trembling little eunuch.
"Say it! Or I'll beat you to death!"
The whip struck the young eunuch's back, which frightened him so much that he knelt even lower and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Madam, please spare us! The eldest young master... he was just studying in the study, there were no other women there."
How could the little eunuch dare to say that the young master was afraid to go to your room because you were too fierce in that aspect?
The young eunuch knelt on the ground and begged desperately, but Yan Li clearly did not believe him and continued to crack the whip.
"You didn't lie... Ah... It hurts... My stomach hurts, Ah Zhuo... My stomach hurts."
The moment Yan Li lashed out with the whip, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, causing her to drop the whip to the ground.
Seeing this, Azhuo turned pale with fright and rushed over to support Yanli, calling out anxiously.
"My lord, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. I'll send someone to fetch a doctor right away."
What are you still kneeling there for? Go find a doctor right now!
Azhuo glanced around and realized that the only person she could use was the little eunuch kneeling on the ground.
The reprimand jolted the young eunuch awake. Ignoring the pain in his back, he scrambled out of the room to fetch a doctor.
He was still praying in his heart that his wife's abdominal pain was not related to him, otherwise his life would really be in danger.
……
The Cao family's courtyard.
"Wang Mama, is your information true? Is it true that Liang Qiuli keeps that Guanyin statue for granting children in her room and worships it every day?"
Cao Shi did not expect Liang Qiuli to be so unguarded, but this was a good thing for her. As long as she did not get pregnant, she would not be able to threaten Shu'er's position.
"It's absolutely true. Do you want me to destroy the remaining powder that the concubine put in? That way, even if they investigate later, they won't trace it back to us."
Granny Wang made the suggestion, seemingly out of kindness.
"Yes, Granny is so thoughtful. The remaining powder is in the bottom compartment of the makeup box. You should take it and destroy it now, lest something goes wrong."
Madam Cao took a sip of tea, smiled and praised Granny Wang, then pointed to the inner room, telling Granny Wang to go in and get it herself.
"Your Highness... Concubine... Something terrible has happened in the eldest young master's courtyard. Madam Yan is suffering from severe abdominal pain. Please go and take a look."
Just as Granny Wang put the medicine powder into her bosom, a maid rushed in in a panic.
Cao suddenly stood up, not even caring that the teacup in her hand had been knocked over.
"What's going on? What's this all about?"
Yan Li is now Shen Shu's wife, and she understands the principle that they share both glory and loss.
So although Cao Shi sounded disgusted, she didn't stop what she was doing. After sighing, she called to Wang Mama and hurriedly walked towards Shen Shu's courtyard.
Granny Wang tightened her grip on the medicine powder in her arms, making sure it would fall out when it was supposed to, before quickly following after them.
"Azhuo, why isn't the doctor here yet? My stomach hurts so much."
Yan Li had been helped to bed by A Zhuo, but her complexion did not improve at all; in fact, she was still sweating profusely.
"Please bear with me, my lord. The doctor should be here soon."
As Azhuo wiped away Yan Li's cold sweat, she comforted him, but before she could finish speaking, she saw blood seeping from between Yan Li's legs.
"Ah! Blood..."
Azhuo exclaimed in surprise and quickly lifted the blanket to check, only to see a glaring scarlet red.
The doctor arrived shortly afterward, followed by Cao Shi.
"Your Highness, Madam Yan has miscarried. She needs to take medicine as soon as possible."
After examining Yan Li's pulse, the doctor reported to Madam Cao.
Upon hearing this, Cao's expression changed slightly. This was her beloved grandson; how could he just be gone like this?
"Doctor, please think of something else! No matter what, you must save this child! Granny Wang, take my token to the palace to summon the imperial physician!"
Cao was unwilling to give up and always felt that there was still hope. As long as there was a glimmer of hope to save the child, she did not want to give up.
"Your Highness, please accept my condolences. In this situation, even if the imperial physician arrives, it is impossible to save the baby in Madam Yan's womb."
"If we don't use medicine, Lady Yan's chances of survival are slim."
The doctor shook his head helplessly. The fetus was already dead; even if the Emperor himself came, he couldn't save it.
"Go and get the medicine."
Cao was unwilling; she felt that it would be better if Yan Li could die like this, so that Shen Shu could remarry.
After the doctor left, only Yan Li, A Zhuo, Granny Wang, and Madam Cao remained in the room.
Cao asked Azhuo Yanli why she was suffering from persistent abdominal pain.
Upon learning the reason, he immediately began to curse.
"Yan Li, I told you not to keep waving that damn whip of yours. Now look what's happened, you've even ruined my grandson. You're really good for nothing and good for making things worse!"
"And you didn't even know you were pregnant! How did Shu'er end up marrying a wife like you!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Li's face turned even paler.
This... she didn't expect it to turn out like this.
"It's not my fault."
Yan Li's explanation was extremely weak.
Cao looked around and suddenly her sharp eyes caught sight of a statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, placed to the side. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
"Prince Duan, the Dowager Princess, and Princess Duan have arrived."
Liang Qiuli and the other two were having a meal when they received word from their subordinates that Yan Li was in trouble, so they came over to check on him.
"How could a perfectly healthy child suddenly be gone?"
Although Liang Qiuli is the Princess Consort of Duan, and Shen Shu and Yan Li's nominal mother, she is still young and it is not appropriate for her to interfere in these matters, so she spoke first.
"It's all her own fault. She didn't even know she was pregnant, and she even cracked a whip around in the process!"
Cao didn't care. Since the child was gone, she directly pushed all the blame onto Yan Li.
I hope the Empress Dowager can punish her so that she will behave herself in the future.
The Empress Dowager obviously couldn't just listen to Cao's side of the story. Just then, the doctor who had gone to prescribe medicine came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Dr. He, can you tell why she miscarried?"
The Empress Dowager turned to ask Doctor He, who had just entered.
Doctor He first handed the medicine to Azhuo, asking her to give it to Yanli, before turning to answer the Empress Dowager's question.
"Your Highness, judging from Madam Yan's pulse, the miscarriage was caused by excessive emotional fluctuations and exposure to things she shouldn't have."
Doctor He had a vague suspicion, but since the family didn't ask, he might have revealed it on his own initiative, so he simply reported the situation based on his pulse diagnosis.
"What did you come into contact with?"
The Dowager clearly grasped the key point, and she looked at Doctor He hoping for a more precise answer.
Dr. He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"It should be something that Madam Yan could come into contact with every day."
He looked around as he spoke.
"Then I'll trouble Lord He to take a close look at these things."
Having spent many years in the palace, the Dowager Consort was familiar with these despicable methods and spoke directly.
She wanted to see who in the Prince Duan's mansion would dare to do such a thing.
