Chapter 162: Chapter 163: Luo Jiner’s Miscarriage
Pei Huaian slightly raised his hand, intending to smooth out her furrowed brows, but halfway there, he clenched it into a fist and brought it to his mouth to cough lightly, concealing the turbulence in his heart.
“In fact, you don’t have to work so hard; I won’t let you or Xiao Linzhang suffer any harm,” Pei Huaian said slowly, his gaze fixed on her clear eyes, word by word.
Shao He turned her head, met his profound gaze, and a faint smile curled up at the corners of her lips. She smiled without saying a word.
A gentle breeze passed by, rustling the leaves outside and filling the air with the fragrance of flowers. It was refreshing to the soul but carried not the slightest warmth.
Inside the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion, Luo Jiner wailed in agony within her room, her complexion pale as paper, forehead beaded with sweat, eyes filled with fear, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Basin after basin of blood was carried out, bright red and startling, leaving onlookers shocked and heartsick.
Imperial Physician Xu emerged from the inner chamber, bowing his body to the Old Madam and Chu Yu, “Old Madam, Marquis, the child could not be saved, but the adult is unharmed. I have done all I could.”
Miss Liang staggered where she stood, nearly collapsing to the ground if not for the maidservant behind her who steadied her.
She clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes reddening slightly and her legs going weak. If it were not for the maidservant’s support, she would have already fallen to the ground.
What did she just hear? The child was lost!
How could this be, this…
The Old Madam and Chu Yu were not surprised by the news; the mother and son exchanged a glance, clearly understanding each other.
But Miss Liang, in her urgency, defended herself, “I, I remember not pushing her. My hand should not have touched her.”
Hearing the voices outside, Luo Jiner rose despite her bodily weakness.
Qiu Zhu supported her and asked, “Miss, what are you doing?”
Luo Jiner shook her head with emotion, breaking free from Qiu Zhu’s grasp and rushed out.
She ran to the Imperial Physician, knelt on the ground, and cried out, “Imperial Physician, please save my child, please.”
The Imperial Physician sighed, giving her a sympathetic look, “Miss Luo, please accept my condolences. The child is gone, but you are still young. You will be able to conceive again in the future.”
Upon hearing these words, Luo Jiner stood frozen in place.
Then, coming to her senses, she lunged forward, seizing the hem of the Imperial Physician’s robe, and screamed, “You’re lying, it’s not true, I don’t believe it. My child is still alive, tell me he’s still alive, my child is still alive.”
Imperial Physician Xu shook his head, “Miss Luo, it’s over now. Please take care of yourself.”
Luo Jiner, upon hearing this, released the sleeve of his robe and stood in a daze, tears falling like pearls off a broken string.
Imperial Physician Xu, seeing her in this state, sighed and walked away.
Luo Jiner collapsed to the ground and let out a sharp and piercing scream that echoed through the courtyard.
She clutched her abdomen, writhing in pain on the ground, her complexion deathly pale.
“Jiner…” Liang Weishuang rushed over, squatted beside her, and helped the person on the ground rise.
Luo Jiner wiped away her tears, knelt before the Old Madam and Chu Yu, “Grandmother, Marquis, this has nothing to do with Miss Liang. She didn’t push me at all; it was all my own carelessness. Please do not blame her.”
Liang Weishuang, upon seeing the person who was grieving for the loss of her child but still pleading for her, felt an immense guilt and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, it was my fault. I accidentally bumped into Jiner, it was my wrongdoing.”
The Old Madam and Chu Yu shook their heads simultaneously. Regarding Luo Jiner’s self-performed melodrama, they gave no comment and preferred to ignore this hypocritical woman.
But they had to put on a front because of Liang Weishuang’s presence, fearing that if she found out the truth, she would no longer be willing to marry into the family.
“Qiu Zhu, don’t you hurry to help your miss up and take her back to recuperate,” the Old Madam said impatiently.
“Yes,” Qiu Zhu helped the person on the ground to stand.
Luo Jiner slightly looked up and saw Chu Yu’s expressionless face. She wanted to say something more but saw him stand up, walk to Luo Jiner, and simply say, “Take good care of yourself. I have matters to attend to and will visit you some other day.”

“Yes.” Even though Luo Jiner was reluctant, she obediently replied. She knew that the Marquis and Old Madam had their suspicions, but she had no other choices and had to take a risk.
In this way, there might still be an opportunity to recover the situation later, as no one could prove she had pretended to be pregnant.
The Old Madam, wishing not to linger, soon claimed to have a headache and got up to leave.
On the way back, the Old Madam sighed lightly, “I thought we could get some traction with the child in her belly, but it turned out to be useless!”
“Nanny, you had already considered the possibility of a fake pregnancy, so why bother getting angry over such a person?” The nanny spoke from beside her.
The Old Madam shook her head resignedly, “Is there really no one in the inner quarters who is pregnant?”
“No,” replied the nanny truthfully.
If there had been a pregnancy in the quarters, they would have reported it joyously to the Old Madam, not stayed so quietly composed.
The Old Madam whispered, “Tomorrow, go and invite Imperial Physician Xu back to give the quarters a thorough medical consultation.”
This waiting wasn’t a solution. If the problem lay with the two women, there was no need to keep them any longer. But if there was no issue, then fertility-aiding medicine could be administered.
“Yes, Madam. I will invite Imperial Physician Xu first thing tomorrow morning,” the nanny nodded in response.
“Just make sure no one else finds out,” the Old Madam did not want to spread the family’s disgrace. The reputation of Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion could not suffer such a loss.
“I understand,” said Nanny Xu.
Nanny Xu had been a fixture in the mansion for many years; she knew what to do even without the Old Madam’s instructions.
