Chapter 26 Boy
"Weiwei! Don't be impulsive!" Xie Yuchuan was so frightened when he saw Shen Wei's actions.
His heart was being squeezed by a big hand.
He wanted to get closer, wanted to rush up and snatch away Shen Wei's scissors, but when he met Shen Wei's eyes full of tenacity, he didn't dare to get any closer.
If Weiwei's child was still alive, Xie Yuchuan wouldn't mind protecting him.
But the current situation is!
Xie Yuchuan had already killed his first child with his own hands, so now he had to save this one from Aunt Zhao at all costs.
To a man who stands tall and proud, a woman is just an object. If he loses her, he can buy another one or marry another. But children are different. If he is a son, he will be a part of the support of the mansion.
He begged and persuaded Shen Wei in panic.
But Shen Wei still stood there indifferently, his eyes fixed on the stunned Qin Shuyu: "Qin Shuyu, the world is like this, the rules all treat women as pregnant puppets."
"But ask yourself, do you think this is right? It has always been this way, is it right?"
"Just say you want to protect Aunt Zhao, and I, Shen Wei, will stand here and stop everyone for you."
"You said to save the child."
"I'm leaving now. This matter ends here. Just pretend that I never came to stop me."
It's too late.
Aunt Zhao, who was lying on the bed, raised her eyelids with difficulty. She tried her best to open her eyes and look towards the door, but due to excessive blood loss, she could only fall into a deep sleep.
Suddenly.......
Is it an illusion?
She seemed to hear Qin Shuyu struggling to speak the first sentence that violated the secular rules in front of everyone's gaze: "Protect Aunt Zhao."
"Madam has ordered that Aunt Zhao be protected!"
"Quickly take the child by force!"
"Quick!"
After saying this, Qin Shuyu seemed to have drained all her strength from her body. She did not dare to look at Xie Yuchuan's puzzled eyes, nor did she dare to face the reproachful looks of the people around her.
Who is she?
She is the mistress of a marquisate who has been carefully cultivated by aristocratic families for more than ten years. She is well-versed in female training and rules, and is proficient in the affairs of the harem. She is the noble lady who knows the best rules and etiquette in the whole capital.
From the day she entered the Marquis' Mansion, she knew that having children and branches was the most important thing in the Mansion.
Deep down, she looked down on Shen Wei, whose thoughts were so jumpy.
He also looked down on Aunt Zhao, who couldn't even read.
But at this moment,
She stood at the door of the delivery room, listening to Xie Yuchuan's words without hesitation, "Protect the little one," and "An heir to the Marquis's mansion is the most important." Suddenly, Qin Shuyu felt that there was no difference between her and the concubine.
Because if she was lying in the delivery room, Xie Yuchuan might also say "Save the child".
The only difference is...
The child born to Aunt Zhao was a bastard.
And the child she gave birth to was a legitimate son.
"Madam!" Su Zhu opened her eyes wide, looked at Qin Shuyu who turned her head away in disbelief, and said in a low voice: "That is the Marquis's first child. This, this is against the rules."
"If Madam Hou knew, she would definitely blame you."
"How could you just! How could you just listen to Miss Shen and act so recklessly? This......"
Su Zhu sighed anxiously and worriedly.
Shen Wei held the scissors in his hand, his face calm, and stood in front of the main entrance without retreating or giving in.
Behind her was Aunt Zhao's life, which was as humble as an ant.
In front of her was Qin Shuyu, who broke the rules for the first time.
Her chest was ignited by a flame. She looked up at Qin Shuyu, who had his eyes closed and was wondering what he was thinking. She then looked at Xie Yuchuan, who was filled with anger and rage and had nowhere to vent it.
It doesn't matter.
She doesn't care what others think of her.
She just wants to help girls of this era to the best of her ability, even if it's just a little bit.
"Shen Wei! Have you had enough of the trouble?"
"I thought you had really changed these days, but I didn't expect you to be still like this. You lost your own child, so you won't allow Aunt Zhao's child to be born again? You disappoint me so much."
"Come out here!" Xie Yuchuan glanced at Qin Shuyu deeply and pointed at Shen Wei angrily.
Does he feel that the Marquis' authority has been challenged?
Can’t he even decide the life or death of a concubine?
So is it the rage of impotence?
Ha ha,
Shen Wei did not look at Xie Yuchuan's expression. She knew that based on Xie Yuchuan's current freshness and love for her, he would definitely say a few harsh words and give her the cold shoulder, but would not be willing to hurt her for the time being.
"Madam, my aunt's life is saved."
At this time.
The midwife ran out in a cold sweat and reported the situation inside.
"Where is the child?" Xie Yuchuan asked gritting his teeth.
When the midwife heard the word "child", her expression suddenly changed unpredictably. Finally, under Xie Yuchuan's cold gaze, she said: "My Lord, Madam, Aunt Zhao's child has also been taken out."
"If you forcefully take a child, it will definitely not survive."
"only......."
"Just what?" A hint of hope rose in Qin Shuyu's heart.
"It's just that... I don't know what kind of fertility medicine Aunt Zhao took. The child was covered with poison spots and his limbs were in strange shapes. He died before today. The one in her belly was a dead fetus."
hum! !
Xie Yuchuan's body shook and he stood there in a daze.
The jade beads in Qin Shuyu's hand broke, and the beads fell to the ground one by one, making a crisp and empty sound.
All the maids and servants in the audience looked terrified and lowered their heads quickly, not daring to breathe hard.
Until this time.
Shen Weicai put away the scissors. She was the only person present who was not frightened and the calmest and most composed one. It seemed as if she had expected this situation.
"Why, how could this happen?"
"A stillborn baby? How could it be a stillborn baby?"
"It's already nine months old and fully formed, how could it be a stillbirth?"
Seeing Xie Yuchuan's expression of disbelief and horror, Shen Wei walked forward, took out a page copied from a medical book from his waist, and slapped it on Xie Yuchuan's chest.
She came quickly.
Walking fast,
Without even saying anything, he walked out of the side yard with a calm expression: "Xie Yuchuan, take a look for yourself."
Wow……..
The paper fell to the ground.
Xie Yuchuan bent down absentmindedly and picked it up from the ground. When his eyes fell on the words on the paper, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Qin Shuyu next to him frowned slightly when he saw this.
When she took it and looked at it, her eyebrows suddenly twitched wildly, and an indescribable feeling of sadness swept over her body. Her fingertips shrank, and she looked in the direction where Shen Wei left, saying in a lost voice: "Shen Wei..."
"So this is why you risked your life to stop it?"
On this note.
It records the mortality rate of production in this era.
It describes the dangers of long-term use of fertility drugs.
The possibility of stillbirth is as high as 80 to 90 percent.
Therefore,
Before coming, Shen Wei was 90% sure that the baby in Aunt Zhao's belly had been harmed by the drugs, and even if the baby was saved, it would be stillborn!
"Midwife, that...that child, is it a girl?"
"Ma'am, it's a boy."
