Chapter 5 Miscarriage in the Outer Chamber
Shen Che, Zhou Youyi and Du Ruowei arrived at the study together, only to see that Shen Chengyi was already waiting inside, his face gloomy.
"You unfilial son! It's only been a few days since you got married, and you made such a fuss, which is a shame on our Shen family! You still dare to yell at Youyi, how can I explain to the Zhou family?" As soon as Shen Chengyi saw Shen Che and Du Ruowei, he was angry and reprimanded sharply.
Shen Che has always respected his father the most, and he didn't say anything against him, but just bowed slightly and listened quietly, but his face was a little ugly.
After training Shen Che, Shen Chengyi turned to Du Ruowei's side again, with a serious face.
"As for you, in front of so many people, let our Shen family lose face. Youyi didn't kick you out, she was already kind-hearted!" As he spoke, Shen Chengyi looked at her slightly bulging lower abdomen again, "I'm thinking about you now that you're pregnant, and I don't care about you for the time being, you can stay in the mansion, but it's better to settle down, you must listen to Youyi in everything." ”
Considering the fetus in Du Ruowei's womb, Shen Chengyi did not criticize him too harshly, but just admonished in a deep voice, and his tone softened a little.
"Yes, Ruowei is obedient. Du Ruowei saluted respectfully, and a hint of pride flashed quietly in her eyes.
She knew that for the sake of her grandson, how could the old man really drive her away?
"What is this? It's hard to eat, let's go!" In the courtyard, Du Ruowei covered her nose in disgust, waved her hand, and reprimanded unhappily.
The serving maid hurriedly took the soup cup away, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Du Ruowei took out the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her lips slowly, and glanced at the kneeling maid below, and a disdainful cold snort escaped from her lips.
I saw a group of maids kneeling in the room, all of them trembling, hanging their heads and not daring to speak.
"Do you all know whose child I am carrying in my belly? This is your eldest young master's own flesh and blood, and the gold is very expensive! If you neglect me, I will let you all go around without eating! Do you hear it?" Du Ruowei narrowed her eyes and warned in a cold voice.
At the end of the words, he raised his eyebrows and deliberately touched his bulging belly, looking proud.
"Yes. The maids lowered their eyebrows and answered in unison.
"It's good to know, why don't you go and change a bowl of soup for me?" Du Ruowei raised her chin and commanded proudly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
One of the maids hurriedly got up and replied, "Slave maid is going now." ”
After a while, the maid brought in a bowl of soup with her hands and feet, put it in front of Du Ruowei, and said cautiously: "Your soup is here, please use it slowly." ”
Du Ruowei picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, then squirted out again, knocked over the soup cup, and said angrily: "It's so hot! You want to burn me to death, don't you?"
The maid was burned by the overturned soup cup, and her tears fell in pain, but she didn't dare to cry out for pain, so she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's the slave's fault, please spare me this time!"
"You dead girl, I have to teach you a good lesson today!" Du Ruowei had a hideous face, pointed at the maid's nose and scolded angrily, "Give me to kneel in the courtyard, I am not allowed to eat, and I am not allowed to get up without my order!"
"Don't, the slave really knows it's wrong......" Hearing this, the maid hurriedly begged for mercy in a panic.
Du Ruowei didn't even look at her, and said, "What are you all doing in a daze, why don't you drag her out for me quickly!"
Although the maids complained, they did not dare to disobey her, so they had to do so.
The eldest young master's outer room has been in the mansion for a few days, and several maids have already been punished, and no one wants to be the next one.
In the afternoon, a group of maids came to the West Courtyard and asked to see Zhou Youyi.
"Young lady, please save us!" The maids knelt in front of Zhou Youyi and complained, "The eldest young master's outer room, relying on his own pregnancy, really thought that he could fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and he was picky about us in every way. He also took advantage of the absence of the eldest young master to bully us subordinates......"
Zhou Youyi was embroidering, and when she heard this, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, stepped forward, gently helped the maids up, and said softly: "Come, you get up first." ”
"Young lady......" The maids were all tearful and full of grievances.
"I know you've all been wronged. Zhou Youyi said softly, "You are all sent by the eldest young master, and I have no right to interfere, so I can only compensate you in other ways." Ning'er, bring my money bag and divide it among these maids, and use it as a subsidy. ”
The maids didn't expect Zhou Youyi to use their private money, and they were very moved: "Thank you young lady for your gift!"
"No, you deserve it, everyone has worked hard. Zhou Youyi smiled and said generously.
The maids received the money and left the West Courtyard happily, and couldn't help but sigh in private that the young lady who had just entered the mansion was really a good person.
After a short time, Zhou Youyi's reputation for being virtuous and considerate gradually spread in the house.
A few days later, in the early morning, Du Ruowei's wail came from the remote area: "Ah! my stomach hurts...... Quick, call me a doctor!"
After a while, blood gushed from under Du Ruowei's body, which looked a little terrifying.
The maid also panicked, and hurriedly rushed out of the door to find the doctor and Shen Che.
However, when the doctor arrived, Du Ruowei was already sweating profusely in pain, her face was bloodless, and she looked very weak.
The doctor hurriedly put down the medicine box and checked her pulse.
"Doctor, how is she?" Shen Che also hurried to ask with an anxious expression.
After a while, the doctor shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "It's a miscarriage, the child ...... Nope. ”
"How can this be?" Shen Che suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and asked with a calm face.
"No, it can't be! How could my child be gone? Doctor, you must be mistaken, please save my child, please!" Du Ruowei collapsed instantly, crying with a sad face.
"Madam, please calm down, you are still very weak now, and you need to rest in bed, otherwise you will fall ill. The old man will go and prescribe a prescription for you to help the lady recuperate. The doctor waved his hand helplessly, signaling that he could not do anything, and then left the room.
Du Ruowei touched her flat belly, grabbed Shen Che's sleeve violently, and cried: "Ah Che, the child is gone, and I don't want to live anymore......!"
Shen Che held her in his arms and whispered comfortingly: "Ruowei, don't worry, I will definitely find out the murderer who killed our child." ”
At the end of the words, Shen Che narrowed his eyes, and there was a trace of firmness and indifference in his eyes.
Finally lulled Du Ruowei to sleep, Shen Che immediately left the other courtyard, angrily pushed open the door of the west courtyard, and asked in a cold voice: "Zhou Youyi, say! Did you secretly move your hands and feet to cause Ruowei to have a miscarriage?!"
