Chapter 1065: Chapter 1063_1

Shangguan Xuanyi paid no mind to these servants, for he knew that the one he should deal with was not these unwise servants from the mansion. He had to bring to justice the mastermind behind the scenes and claim an eye for an eye! Xiao’er’s blood, his child’s blood was not something that could be taken freely! The price of taking them must be paid!

After Jingrui had dealt with these servants, he then carried Zhu Yan back to his courtyard.

And then, there were many things that he needed to look into. He had to find out who the old woman was, and who spilled the essential oil on the ground. The wedding ceremony of Yun’er also mustn’t be further procrastinated.

After Jingrui had carried Zhu Yan back to his courtyard, the only ones left in the room were Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er.

Shangguan Xuanyi placed his hand on Xiao’er’s belly and gently caressed back and forth, as though comforting the child in her womb, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Xiao’er shook her head: "It doesn’t hurt anymore."

"Next time..."

"Absolutely not next time!", Xiao’er quickly assured.

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at Xiao’er, who displayed an attitude of remorse, and nodded solemnly: "Also true, you have to lay in bed for half a year."

Xiao’er: "..." Okay! Who made him look somewhat fierce!

Shangguan Xuanyi put his head against Xiao’er’s belly and spoke softly, "Little girl, behave in your mother’s stomach. Your father is going to find the villain who bullied you and your mother and take revenge."

After saying that, Shangguan Xuanyi stood up and tucked the corners of the quilt around Xiao’er, "You have to drink the imperial doctor’s prescribed medicine on time, and good girl, stay in bed till I come back, understand? If you dare step off the bed, I’ll hit your acupoints and keep you immobile for half a year!"

"Brother Shangguan, rest assured, I will definitely stay in bed!" Xiao’er quickly assured. Even though she was threatened, seeing Shangguan Xuanyi’s angry face, she dared not further provoke the wrathful tiger and bring about her own downfall!

"Take good care of the Princess, and don’t let her get out of bed. Otherwise, you’ll pack your belongings yourself, accept fifty strokes of the cane, and then go to the broker!" After saying this to Yang Liu, Shangguan Xuanyi strode out.

Does he really need to always threaten her with this?

Humph! If she has to lie down, then she’ll lie down! Don’t ask her to get out of bed! Even if she were asked, she would stay in bed! She will not get out of bed for half a year! Xiao’er thought defiantly.

Prince An’s Mansion

Shangguan Ruixi carried Du Yijin to his courtyard. Princess Consort An and Shangguan Wanru were playing with Zhuan’er in the garden. Princess Consort An planned to board the ship tomorrow to attend Xiao’er’s wedding ceremony, so she and Du Yijin completed the bridal shopping today and returned directly to the mansion. She did not stay long in the Marquis Mansion and therefore did not know what had happened afterwards.

Seeing Shangguan Ruixi carrying Du Yijin in a hurry, she was taken aback and quickly stood up, stopping him: "Ruixi, what happened to Yijin? Why did you come back so early?"

"Yijin accidentally slipped and fell. I was worried and brought her back," Shangguan Ruixi gave a simple explanation.

"What! She fell!" Princess Consort An heard this and was shocked! She quickly rushed over to them.

"Yijin, does your stomach hurt? Have you had a miscarriage?" She had finally been looking forward to her first grandchild, she hoped that it wouldn’t be gone just like that!

Shangguan Wanru, holding Zhuan’er, came over. When she heard these words, her heart skipped a beat, how could Yijin have fallen?! At the Marquis Mansion?

"Mother, don’t worry. Because the second imperial sister-in-law caught me, I’m not hurt at all. On the contrary, Princess Rui and the young mistress of Marquis Mansion both suffered from miscarriage scares." Du Yijin shifted in Shangguan Ruixi’s arms, signaling him to put her down, otherwise everyone would misunderstand that she really had a miscarriage scare, but she clearly did not.

The imperial doctor has already said that there was nothing wrong with her.

Shangguan Wanru was even more confused after hearing these words. Was Xiao’er alright? How could they have fallen together? Shangguan Wanru’s heart clenched, could it be as she thought?

Did they resort to some foul play because she didn’t agree to help them? How could they do this - there are three pregnant women involved, that’s three lives!

"Honey, don’t move around if you had a miscarriage scare. What if I can’t hold onto you and you fall down!" Shangguan Ruixi said to Du Yijin who was moving around in his arms, trying to get down.

Shangguan Ruixi said this deliberately for Princess Consort An to hear. Once his mother knew that Du Yijin had a miscarriage scare, she would definitely have someone guard Du Yijin closely. Du Yijin sometimes didn’t listen to him, but she didn’t dare to disobey his mother at all. This made him, as a husband, feel a little bit upset. Who is her lifelong companion and depended on after all!

A miscarriage scare? Princess Consort An didn’t doubt Shangguan Ruixi’s words at all. She just thought that Du Yijin did not want her to worry, so she said she was fine. If she fell down, even if she’s really fine, it would be better for her to rest in bed.

She glared at her son, "If you can’t even hold her properly, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and carry Yijin back to bed! What if something happens to my golden grandson, what can you use to compensate for my loss!"

A big man who can’t hold onto a woman properly, how did she end up with such a useless son?!

Compensate? Isn’t her golden grandson his son? Why should he compensate her! Shangguan Ruixi thought gloomily! It seems that now that the grandson is here, she’s forgotten about the son!

"No, mother, I really didn’t have a miscarriage scare!"

Hearing these words, Shangguan Ruixi, to avoid having Du Yijin say too much, said, "Mother, I’m going to carry Yijin back to our room now! The imperial doctor said she should stay in bed until she gives birth."

Stay in bed until the baby is born? How serious must the fall have been for her to need to rest for that long!

Princess Consort An nodded, "Don’t worry, I will definitely arrange for someone to take good care of her."

She absolutely wanted her golden grandson to be born safe and sound.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ruixi felt reassured and carried Du Yijin back to their courtyard.

Only then did Shangguan Wanru come back to her senses. She hadn’t asked about Xiao’er’s situation yet, so she hurried to catch up.

Princess Consort An went to select maids to take care of Du Yijin. She felt it best to have extra help to ensure her grandson was born without any mishaps.

After putting Du Yijin back to bed, Shangguan Ruixi instructed her to stay in bed and rest, turned around to get her a glass of water, only to find Shangguan Wanru had followed him in.

"What’s going on? Is there something wrong?"

"I heard that Xiao’er and Zhu Yan have fallen, what happened, are they okay?"

Shangguan Ruixi wanted to say that Xiao’er had a miscarriage scare but fortunately the fetus was safe. But recalling Shangguan Xuanyi’s words, he changed his response, "Xiao’er had a miscarriage scare and started bleeding. We don’t know if the fetus can be saved. The Crown Princess from the Marquis Shengping mansion also had a miscarriage scare, but it wasn’t as serious as Xiao’er’s, she’ll be fine with some rest."
