Ch 21: Miscarriage

“Wife, Wife!”

A maid ran, stumbling all the way to the Pear Garden. She saw Cuiping, but not Yuan Xueyue.

Cuiping asked, puzzled, “What’s with all the panic?”

The maid said, “Eldest, Eldest Young Master pushed Miss Lin!”

Cuiping: “What?”

The maid: “It was an accident! Now Eldest Young Master has run off to hide somewhere!”

Cuiping said, “Alright, you keep watch. I’ll go to the front courtyard to find Manager Li!”

When Cuiping found Manager Li and explained the situation, Manager Li sent someone out of the residence to find a doctor, and also sent someone to inform the General.

Inside the residence, Mama Cui also relayed the news to Old Madam.

Old Madam Nian’s hand, which was holding prayer beads, paused, nearly crushing them. She said anxiously, “Have the doctor examine her carefully, and be sure to use the best medicine!”

Mama Cui received the order and went to make arrangements.

Suddenly, Yuan Xueyue, who was in the warehouse checking the accounts and planning the use of silver for the next month, heard hurried footsteps approaching. Cuiping appeared and said,

“Wife, something happened to Miss Lin…”

Yuan Xueyue’s ears perked up. She was quite surprised to hear this!

Everything was fine, how could something have happened?

Upon further questioning, she learned that Lin Yan’er had provoked Xing Ge’er, and Xing Ge’er, not being one to tolerate her, pushed her!

Three maids were present and saw it clearly!

Yuan Xueyue’s inner thoughts: “…”

In the previous life, Xing Ge’er had extreme dislike for Yuan Xueyue. Anyone who pointed fingers at her, Xing Ge’er would exaggerate and embellish!

Now, Lin Yan’er had merely been disrespectful and mocked her a little, but not only did she fail to drive a wedge between mother and son, she also caused herself to have a miscarriage!

With this push, it was uncertain whether the fetus could be saved.

Yuan Xueyue did not want the perfectly fine Aunt Yan to lose before she even started. After all, she relied on this pregnancy to wield power in the residence!

When she rushed to the side room in the side courtyard, she saw Lin Yan’er, covered in sweat and bleeding from between her legs. It was a shocking sight!

“Has Xing Ge’er been found?” Yuan Xueyue asked, turning her head.

The maids nearby shook their heads!

Cuiping had also searched every corner of the residence, but to no avail. According to the guards and servants at the front and back gates, none of them had seen Xing Ge’er!

Compared to Lin Yan’er’s miscarriage, Old Madam Nian was already frantic!

“Where’s my precious grandson? Go find him quickly!”

Old Madam Nian ordered loudly, prompting many maids and servants to go search. Only two maids and a manager mama were left to accompany the doctor.

The doctor called out various requests, and the two maids were barely enough!

“Hey, can you hurry up a bit…”

The doctor complained, but there were only two maids running back and forth. The remaining Mama Rong could only assist from the side.

Yuan Xueyue raised her handkerchief to cover her nose and turned to leave.

Ju Niuer, who had been accompanying the General on a trip outside to find a manor, returned first. Seeing this scene, she was shocked, her eyes wide!

She asked her mother and learned the reason. She whispered quietly outside the door,

“This Miss Lin is too arrogant. After all, Wife is Eldest Young Master’s mother. For her to say that, how could Xing Ge’er not get angry?”

Old Madam Nian also had a dark expression. She thought to herself that if this pregnancy couldn’t be saved, Lin Yan’er would have to disappear!

She should pray that this child in her belly is the one to save Lin Yan’er’s life!

Seeing Old Madam Nian’s displeased expression, Yuan Xueyue coughed lightly and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Let’s find Xing Ge’er first.”

Right now, Old Madam Nian was calculating how to deal with Lin Yan’er.

“Old Madam!”

Suddenly, a maid rushed out, knelt on the ground, and said, “The child, the child…”

Old Madam Nian asked urgently, “Is the child alright?”

“Yan’er!”

Guo Liangxian appeared just then, interrupting the maid’s words. He rushed over, wanting to push past them, but he couldn’t hear Old Madam Nian’s words of obstruction!

The maid also said, “General! It’s taboo to enter when there’s blood… You can’t go in…”

Guo Liangxian didn’t listen at all and pushed his way in!

Yuan Xueyue sneered inwardly, “…”

◈◈◈

It seemed that Lin Yan’er wasn’t completely useless. At least, that act worked very well on Guo Liangxian!

Old Madam Nian was so angry that she gripped her walking stick. She turned her head to look at Yuan Xueyue and said, “Look at you, can’t you be a little more competitive!”

“A girl who hasn’t even entered the family can make the General care! What about you?”

Yuan Xueyue said lightly, “Mother-in-Law is right to scold.”

It’s not worth fighting for this anger.

The maid explained, “The fetus couldn’t be saved. Eldest Young Master’s push caused this.”

The maid’s eyes were darting around, looking everywhere, clearly not a professional liar!

Yuan Xueyue frowned and said, “Xing Ge’er is just a child. How could he push Miss Lin, who is so big, with enough force?”

Besides, Lin Yan’er had two maids behind her at the time to cushion the fall, and one of them was the maid speaking now.

The maid trembled and said, “It’s absolutely true. This servant dares not speak more.”

Yuan Xueyue seemed to understand something and remained silent.

“Don’t talk nonsense! How dare you slander my Xing Ge’er? I’ll have you sold!” Old Madam Nian was so angry that her hair stood on end.

“This servant dares not speak nonsense. Old Madam, please see clearly!” The maid knelt on the ground.

“…”

The matter was like this. They could only wait for Lin Yan’er to wake up.

In the evening, Lin Yan’er, who seemed to be on her last breath, slowly woke up. Seeing Guo Liangxian sitting by the bed with bloodshot eyes, she immediately burst into tears!

“General~ Ah ah ah!”

“Yan’er…” Guo Liangxian held Lin Yan’er tightly, his heart bleeding.

His only flesh and blood was gone.

And Xing Ge’er was found by Cuiping and her search party in the gap between the eaves and the side wall behind the back door.

At that time, Xing Ge’er, a small child, was curled up in the gap of the side wall. If it weren’t for a small tree half a person tall blocking the way, he wouldn’t have been found so late.

Cuiping had someone pull him out, dust off his clothes, and take him to the side courtyard to see Old Madam.

He regretted it very much.

But when he heard that if his father had his own child, he would no longer love him, he was very angry. In a moment of desperation, he couldn’t help but reach out and push!

Xing Ge’er recounted this, and Old Madam Nian was also helpless. She tried her best to explain,

“Xing Ge’er is still young and doesn’t understand. This was unintentional.”

For Old Madam Nian, both were her flesh and blood!

Whether it was the son of her daughter who had disappeared, gone mad, become a fool, or died, or the unborn child of her son, she treated them equally.

But right now, Old Madam Nian still wanted to protect Xing Ge’er, whom she had doted on for over a year.

As for the one in Lin Yan’er’s belly, who knew what it was?

Lin Yan’er cried loudly, “Old Madam! Is the one in my belly not important?”

“Although he is a child, he carries the Guo family’s blood. And such a big boy pushed me and caused a miscarriage. Shouldn’t he be punished?”

Old Madam Nian was displeased. “What do you want? To kick him out?”

That was too much of a dream!

Yuan Xueyue watched quietly. She hadn’t expected Xing Ge’er to clash with Lin Yan’er. Her eyes occasionally glanced at Xing Ge’er, wondering what was going on in his little head hanging low.

He was already very remorseful.
