"You may not trust Guard Leng, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll get a doctor." Clear Autumn said unhappily.
People from Wang Mansion would usually turn to Leng Shuang for minor illnesses and pains, guaranteed to be cured once medicated.
Not to mention, she definitely wouldn’t misdiagnose something like a pregnancy.
"Isn’t Young Master Bai right ahead? Please call him over quickly, the person has fainted, it’d be bad if something were to happen."
Qing Xin immediately said, "There’s no need to bother Young Master Bai with such a trivial matter, I’m a medical woman from Deji Hall, I’ll know once I take a look."
She had assisted many ladies from noble households in successful childbirths; many people were aware of her capabilities.
"What are you? Don’t touch my daughter!"
The Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian supported Du Yingxue with Qiao Hua’er and the maid, while she herself blocked Qing Xin, not giving her a chance to get close to Du Yingxue.
If Du Yingxue was indeed pregnant with an illegitimate child, the reputation of the Du Family would be completely destroyed. What would they do then?
ChunTao decisively pulled Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian away: "Lady Du, you wouldn’t want Miss Du to suffer an injustice either, please step aside and let’s clarify this as soon as she wakes up."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qing Xin quickly
Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian struggled fiercely, trying to break free from ChunTao’s hold.
"Lady Du, why do you keep blocking? Could it be that you’re feeling guilty?" Madam Qian asked.
Qiao Hua’er said to the maid, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and carry the miss back, and if anything happens to her, none of you who serve her can escape responsibility!"
Just as Du Yingxue’s maid was about to step forward, Du Yingxue slowly came to.
Although she had awakened, her eyes were devoid of spirit, as if she had gone mad.
All Du Yingxue could think about was Xuan Ling, the man who said he’d avenge his brother’s death and then marry her, the man who said he’d welcome the child with her.
King Qin asked from his high position, "Why did you secretly hand Qin Mingrui over to Xuan Er?"
Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian hurriedly said, "Quickly say it wasn’t you, that you’ve been wronged!"
"I love Xuan Ling, he said he needed to avenge his brother, and once the revenge was taken he would marry me." Du Yingxue spoke slowly.
Unfortunately, he failed.
The things she had done had been exposed, her life was ruined, and there was no point in making excuses anymore. It was better to tell everything.
"Impossible, you stay at home all day, how could you possibly know Mountain Bandits?"
Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian shook Du Yingxue vigorously; the child’s mind must have been broken!
Du Yingxue said with a bitter smile, "On the thirteenth of May, I went to the mountain to worship Buddha and encountered Xuan Ling. We watched the stars together, rode horses together, and I was very happy with him. In this life, I only want to marry him."
Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian fell to the ground, covered her face, and cried, "How could I have given birth to such a shameless thing? I taught you from a young age to respect yourself, to marry a good husband. How could you not listen?"
"Mother, don’t cry."
Qiao Hua’er tried to offer some comfort but was met with a torrent of abuse.
"Get lost, you’re nothing but a Star of Misfortune. Yue’er could never have known such a despicable person. It must have been you who brought that filth back!"
The eyes of Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian were like venom, clearly, she attributed all the fault to Qiao Hua’er.
Qiao Hua’er felt aggrieved, but no matter how aggrieved, she could only endure it.
She didn’t have her family’s support and often had to beg; Du Haofeng, fearing ridicule, had always been lukewarm towards her, and without a son to rely on, she had no confidence to resist.
After all, no matter how unhappy life at the Du Family was, it was better than staying with the Qiao Family.
Zhong Clan’s Madam Qian then knelt before King Qin: "Your Highness, Yue’er must have been deceived by the Mountain Bandits. Please, considering her young age, forgive her."
