Chapter 201: Miscarriage
After getting the item, Hong Tao secretly returned to the banquet hall. She came to Wang Xuehua and whispered to her that she had got the item. Wang Xuehua ordered her to act quickly.
Hong Tao followed the order and walked towards Luo Shi. However, when she hurried forward and wanted to bump into Luo Shi again, she was too nervous and flustered, and her foot slipped. She couldn't stand firmly and bumped into Xiao Luo Shi. Hong Tao was shocked and didn't know what to do for a while. She looked around in panic and saw that no one was paying attention, so she hurriedly took out the Buddhist beads from her sleeves and hid them on Xiao Luo Shi.
Xiao Luo was almost knocked down by the sudden collision, but Zhu Mingqiao, who happened to be sitting next to her, held her up.
At this moment, Hong Tao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her heart was beating like thunder. She knew that her behavior just now was very risky, but in order to complete the young lady's order, she could not care so much. Hong Tao took a deep breath, tried to calm her expression, pretended to be panicked and quickly knelt on the ground, and kept apologizing to Xiao Luoshi. Xiao Luoshi frowned slightly, snorted lightly, and did not pay too much attention to this little accident. She waved her hand and let Hong Tao leave.
All this was seen by Zhu Mingqiao without showing any emotion.
At this time, Xiao Luo's abdominal pain seemed to intensify a little bit. She frowned and gently pressed her waist with her hands. She began to suspect that the maid's collision was not accidental, but at this moment the maid was no longer at the scene. There were so many maids at the scene, and she didn't see the maid's appearance clearly in a hurry just now.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Seeing little Luo holding her waist and frowning, Luo asked hurriedly.
"It's okay. I was bumped by that maid just now. My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, but it will be fine after a while." Xiao Luo explained with a chuckle.
Zhu Mingqiao was thoughtful after hearing this. Just now, when she was helping Xiao Luo, she accidentally touched the pulse on her wrist. She had clearly...
In order to confirm her thoughts, she hurriedly whispered to Xiao Luo: "Madam Pang, I know a little about medicine. If you don't mind, I will help you take your pulse."
Xiao Luo had a good impression of Zhu Mingqiao, so she thought it would be okay to just take his pulse and stretched out her hand without hesitation.
Zhu Mingqiao's face was solemn, and his fingers gently rested on Xiao Luo's wrist. After a moment, his expression was stern, and it was indeed a slippery pulse. However, Xiao Luo had just been hit hard by the maid, and now she was already in unbearable abdominal pain. Zhu Mingqiao was secretly shocked, and in this situation, there might be a miscarriage. At this moment, Xiao Luo frowned, and her pale face was full of pain. It seemed that her abdominal pain had worsened.
"Mrs. Pang, you have to find a guest room to lie down and rest. There are signs of miscarriage now." Zhu Mingqiao whispered in Xiao Luo's ear.
Xiao Luo's face was horrified, her eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Are there signs of miscarriage?" Her voice trembled slightly, and she suddenly panicked.
After three years of marriage, she had no children, which had always been a heavy burden on her heart. During those long days, she endured pressure from all sides, but never gave up hope. Now, she unexpectedly learned that she was pregnant. This should have been great news, but it was instantly overshadowed by the cruel reality.
The maid's reckless collision shattered all her hopes. She gently stroked her abdomen, feeling the little life that was not yet completely stable, and her heart was full of guilt and worry. This child was her long-awaited hope and the sustenance of her future. She must not lose it. She gritted her teeth and secretly vowed to do everything she could to keep the child no matter what the cost.
The two people's flustered appearance attracted the attention of others at the table.
"What's wrong?" Liang, who was sitting opposite Xiao Luo, was the first to notice her abnormality and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Luo and Liang had some personal connections, so she didn't hide it from her and whispered, "I was bumped by that little maid just now, and my stomach is getting more and more painful. I suspect I'm having a miscarriage."
Everyone at the table was shocked, especially Mrs. Luo. As the eldest sister-in-law, she certainly knew the hardships that little Mrs. Luo had endured in the past few years in order to get pregnant.
"Sister-in-law, come on, go to the guest room and lie down first. I'll go find a doctor." Luo said hurriedly.
Just as everyone stood up to leave, there was a commotion in the hall.
The wife of the Ningyang Marquis came in with Princess Lao Hui, but Princess Lao Hui looked unhappy and the wife of the Ningyang Marquis could not hide her anger.
Zhu Mingqiao knew that she couldn't leave for the time being, and Xiao Luo's condition couldn't wait, so she could only take the risk and secretly take out the spiritual spring water from the space to try. Zhu Mingqiao held the cup of water and fed it to Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo immediately felt a warm current gathering in her abdomen, and the abdominal pain was relieved a lot.
It turned out that just when the wife of Ningyang Marquis went to invite Princess Laohui to come and prepare for the feast, Princess Laohui found that the Buddhist beads she carried with her were missing. The Buddhist beads were given by Master Dehui, a high monk from Yulong Temple, and they were something she treasured very much.
The wife of Ningyang Marquis helped Princess Hui to look for it for a long time but couldn't find it.
Just when the two were at a loss, a strange little maid came forward timidly. She bowed respectfully, handed over a small note with both hands, and said softly: "Princess, Madam, this is a guest in the banquet hall who asked me to bring it to you." Princess Lao Hui frowned slightly, took the note, unfolded it, and saw that it was written: The person who stole the Buddhist beads is in the banquet hall.
Princess Lao Hui's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
"Hmph! How dare you steal things right under my nose." Princess Lao Hui snorted coldly. Although her voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Seeing this, the wife of the Marquis of Ningyang hurriedly said softly, "Don't worry, Princess. Since someone has sent this note, there must be something fishy about it. Let's calm down and see what clues there are in this banquet hall."
Princess Lao Hui nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of sharpness: "Humph, I want to see who has the courage to steal my Buddhist beads."
The wife of the Ningyang Marquis supported Princess Lao Hui tightly and came to the banquet hall.
At this moment, the wife of Ningyang Marquis slowly looked at the people in the banquet hall, thinking about the possible suspects in her heart. She knew that this matter was very serious and must be handled with caution to avoid unnecessary trouble. "Princess, why don't we keep quiet and observe secretly, maybe we can find some clues about the person who stole the Buddhist beads." The wife of Ningyang Marquis suggested in a low voice.
Princess Lao Hui narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Just as you say."
Princess Lao Hui raised her chin slightly and slowly swept her eyes over the guests in the banquet hall. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened, their faces full of confusion and confusion. However, in this confusion, only one guest at a table seemed flustered, with an uneasy look. Princess Lao Hui keenly noticed this abnormality, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and exchanged a meaningful look with the wife of Ningyang Marquis. The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection, and walked towards the table where Zhu Mingqiao was sitting.
