Chapter 478: Chapter 479 The Complete Cold_1
Upon hearing this, Lu Qi’er suddenly turned pale with shock and nearly cried out, but thankfully, Tianniu had quickly covered her mouth in ti.
“Qingi? How could she possibly…?”
Tianniu couldn’t believe it either, but then she rembered what Muniang had taught her: When handling matters, one must not be swayed by personal feelings or let one’s own perceptions affect judgnt. Her conclusion was entirely based on Qingi’s unusual behavior, and privately, she too felt that it could not be the case. However, the facts had to speak for themselves.
“Mu never acts recklessly. She probably sent you away because she wasn’t sure. If she’s right, she must have already sent soone to fetch a doctor by now,” Tianniu whispered, “Let’s not make a fuss just yet.”
If Qingi was wronged and she found out about this, with her sensitive nature, she’d probably be upset for a long ti.
Lu Qi’er didn’t know what exactly had been put into that tea, but now rembering it, she broke out in cold sweat and dared not say more, just kept nodding vigorously.
Having returned to the Lu Mansion, Qingi realized she had missed her chance today and staying any longer was pointless. Besides, Muniang was likely in no mood to deal with them now, so after a brief greeting, she left.
Not long after Qingi’s departure, an old man in plain clothes entered i Garden discreetly and was directly led by Qingya to Muniang’s room on the second floor.
“The tea contains no deadly poison, just ordinary Green tea, but it has been mixed with a large amount of safflower,” the doctor carefully examined the tea before coming to this conclusion.
Confusion filled Muniang’s eyes, “Safflower?”
She wasn’t unfamiliar with the substance—it was said that if a pregnant woman drank it, it could induce miscarriage, but for anyone else, it was rely a blood activator and stasis remover.
The doctor thought Muniang would be relieved for not drinking it because anyone who had been secretly targeted in this way was most likely pregnant. However, seeing her calm and puzzled reaction, the doctor curiously asked, “Isn’t the Lady expecting? If not, why would soone bother to put such a thing in the tea? It’s pointless.”
Safflower wasn’t poison, and if soone really wanted to harm her, they would have used sothing like poison, wouldn’t they? What was the point of this?
But the doctor’s words imdiately reminded Muniang of sothing. A fleeting, almost imperceptible thought crossed her mind. She froze, recalling her visit to a doctor in Qinghua City who steadfastly claid she could not conceive. So what did Qingi’s giving her safflower today an?
Suddenly, Muniang got a jolt, and she hurriedly said, “Please check my pulse, Doctor, and see what’s happening with my body.”
The doctor, puzzled, still checked her pulse at Muniang’s insistence, and soon his brows lifted with joy, “Congratulations, Lady, you are with child! It’s been two months already!”
Muniang’s heart turned ice-cold in an instant, and her eyes shot out a sharp, cold light. It was as she feared! Soone had been plotting against her since her trip to Qinghua City. She knew nothing, having been victimized over and over. If not for Lu Qi’er’s sudden arrival today, which caught Qingi off guard and led to her slip-up, her child would have died without anyone ever knowing why!
The doctor had expected the Lady to break down in tears of joy or at least be happy to hear she was pregnant, but what was this chilling atmosphere and those terrifying eyes? He shivered with fear.
Soon, Muniang regained her composure, realizing she had frightened the doctor with her outburst. She quickly smiled, “Thank you, Doctor. I am truly overjoyed today. To think I’ve been pregnant for so long without knowing! Qingya, give the doctor a reward of five taels of Silver!”
“Ah!” Qingya felt even happier inside, and regardless of which shaless thieves had orchestrated such a trap, the joyous news alone was enough to bring comfort.
The doctor, bewildered by Muniang’s sudden attentiveness, still managed to say, “Hehe, congratulations to the Lady, congratulations to the Lady.”
No matter what, a huge weight seed to suddenly lift from Muniang’s heart. She thanked heaven and earth; the gods had blessed her with a child. This happiness ca so unexpectedly that Muniang could almost wake up laughing from her dreams.
However, just before leaving, the doctor didn’t forget to remind Muniang, “The Lady’s pregnancy is quite stable, but you must still be cautious, especially with things like safflower, which you must avoid at all costs.”
Muniang nodded in gratitude, “Thank you, I will certainly be careful.”
After sending the doctor off, Muniang’s face grew cold. Joy was one thing, but rage was another. Clearly, since the day she started visiting doctors in Qinghua City, soone had been watching her, and now they dared to target her child’s life!
What she could never have anticipated was that the person to act against her would be Wang Qingi! Muniang had treated her like a dear sister, yet now she could heartlessly do such a thing. Since she had used safflower, she must have known Muniang’s true condition. Yet, this person, whom Muniang had loved like a sister, not only failed to tell her the truth but also colluded with others to harm her child!
Muniang gritted her teeth in anger, her hand gently resting on her still-flat belly. Whoever coveted her child would pay, one by one!
Seeing Muniang getting angry, Qingya quickly said, “The Lady is with child now, after all, you must be careful not to get upset. It would be awful if you got agitated and hurt the baby.”
Muniang spoke through clenched teeth, “Do you think I don’t know that? But my child has been bullied like this, how can I just endure it? Whoever is plotting against , I’ll make them regret it!”
“Wasn’t it Miss Qingi who sent the tea? It could very well be her,” Qingya offered tentatively.
Muniang sneered, “She doesn’t have the capacity; she’s at most a helper. Soone is definitely behind her!”
“Who could it be?”
“Who else? The only one who could make Qingi do sothing willingly now is none other than Lu Ziquan, that bastard!” Muniang’s teeth grated at the ntion of that na.
“Does the Lady plan to send soone to Lu Mansion to demand an explanation?” Qingya asked hastily.
“No hurry. ‘Catch a thief with the goods, catch an adulterer in the act.’ Today I was concerned about Qingi’s face and didn’t call the doctor on the spot. If we rush over now, that shaless Lu Ziquan might even accuse
of slander,” Muniang replied.
“Then what should we do?”
“Just wait. My child is still here; how could those people let this go? They will co sooner or later!” While Muniang spoke, her heart was not without severe distress. Qingi had repeatedly chosen the wrong path, and had Muniang ever left her to her own devices? Who cleaned up the ss every ti she got into trouble? Muniang always let it slide, but this ti, Qingi had gone too far, seeking to harm her! Muniang’s heart had turned stone-cold because of her.
