Fated to My Billionaire Husband-Chapter 576 - : So Much Blood Is Shed Every Year_1
Chapter 576: Chapter 576: So Much Blood Is Shed Every Year_1
The large pool of blood had a terrifying feel to it.
Ruan Tianling’s face subtly changed, and he quickly went after Yufei. Yufei was vomiting over the washbasin, but nothing came out.
The children all played to their heart’s content and they proposed to come again during their next holiday.
Su Qingluo, of course, welcomed them warmly, indicating with a wave of her small hand that she would take them to a more beautiful valley for their next outing, eliciting a wave of eager cheers.
With reluctance, the children boarded the ferry to return home, each escorted by their attendants.
Su Qingluo saw off her classmates, and along with the Little Prince, headed home horseback, escorted by three large dogs.
The Little Prince had a great time.
Despite the teasing he endured, which left a slightly unpleasant impression of the three cheeky sisters, his curiosity for new things was unaffected.
Once home, the Little Prince was noticeably preoccupied, eating less than usual and sleeping restlessly.
After fussing for a few days, under Su Qingluo’s deliberate encouragement, he finally let out the truth.
He wanted to go to the Academy with his sister.
************
A five-and-a-half-year-old child going to school was unheard of, at least in Woniu Village and the surrounding rural areas.
When Su Qingluo heard that the Little Prince wanted to go to school, it took her aback. Her first thought was of the sticky little fellow starting to cry again.
She had already lost to his tears more than once.

With his little mouth pouted and big eyes looking pitifully at you, tears steadily falling down his face.
The feeling — it was heartbreaking to say the least.
Just one look was enough to make you feel guilty, as if you had done something unforgivable.
In the end, out of felt sympathy, she would agree to his wishes.
********
Going to school was a big deal, she couldn’t make the decision alone, so she had to summon the two Imperial Shadow Guards to discuss the matter with them.
Moving from the peaceful nest of Woniu Village to the noisy Academy would put more pressure on the guards in their mission to protect the Little Prince.
The two Shadow Guards didn’t dare to be careless. That same day they sent a message by carrier pigeon, formally reporting the matter to the Empress.
The Empress was comforted to learn that her son was in good health. She immediately issued a decree awarding the Su Clan with substantial rewards.
As for the matter of schooling, after careful consideration, she did not agree to send her young son to the Academy.
At the Noble Lord’s suggestion, a Female Official with both virtues and skills was dispatched from the Imperial Court to teach the Little Prince at the villa.
At the same time, the Empress also approved to select children of decent character from the nearby counties, who would study alongside the Little Prince as companions.
*******
The Empress’s rewards and decree were promptly dispatched, arriving at the Su House in Mingshui County and the imperial villa across the river coinciding with the Academy’s next holiday.
Su Ziqin and Su Zixuan accepted the Court’s rewards in place of their parents, and their humility and manners were once again praised by the Female Official who delivered the decree.
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Villa, lanterns were hung and banners were raised in a joyous celebration.
The Villa, empty for two years, finally welcomed its true young master. The eagerly waiting Palace Maids and Attendants were thrilled and spirited, looking forward to the arrival of the Little Prince.
**********
The Little Prince’s companions were to be chosen from among the academically outstanding children in nearby towns. These children will attend classes at the Imperial Villa, taught by the Female Official from the Imperial Court.
When this news broke, the entire Xuzhou erupted in excitement.
From the administrative offices to the influential elites, all were interested in sending their children to study alongside the Little Prince.
The Little Prince was intelligent and quick to learn, his literacy skills far outstripping children his age.
At Su Qingluo’s suggestion, The Little Prince’s study companions were selected from children aged seven to nine. These students needed to have a decent academic foundation, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to keep up with the Little Prince’s academic progress.
Tianling’s heart tightened. He couldn’t even bear the thought of her bleeding so much every day for just three days, let alone half a month!
If she really bleeds for seven days, won’t she die?!
“How long does yours usually last?” He asked her in a deep voice. Yufei thought to herself, was he looking up information related to menstruation on his computer?
“Five days.” She replied vaguely.
That seems normal, but the thought of her suffering and bleeding for five days makes him furrow his brows deeply.
“Is it like this every day?” He asked tentatively.
“No.”
Tianling relaxed somewhat, then he searched ‘how much blood does a woman lose during her period’. The answers reveal the normal amount to be about 60 milliliters. Less than 30 milliliters is too little, more than 80 milliliters is too much. Both extremely low and high volumes are considered abnormal.
Tianling grimaced in thought. A disposable plastic cup can hold 100 milliliters of water, so 60 milliliters should be about three-fifths of the cup.
Though it doesn’t seem like a lot, the thought of bleeding every month is still horrifying.
Sixty milliliters a month adds up to 720 milliliters in a year, and that’s under normal circumstances. If the flow is heavy, it could almost reach 1000 milliliters!
How much blood is 1000 milliliters?!
Donating blood only takes 200 milliliters at a time. Even a grown man who donates once a year tends to lose weight. Losing 1000 milliliters of blood a year is equivalent to donating blood five times!
Not to mention five times a year, and in a woman’s delicate body!
The more Tianling thought about it, the more severe it seemed. His brows furrowed deeply, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by a needle, it was very painful.
He had no idea Yufei lost so much blood each year.
Just from the amount of blood she lost earlier, he knew her flow was heavy, perhaps more than 80 milliliters in one cycle…
