On one side, Chun Tao lowered her head, but no one noticed the smile in her eyes.

As Ye Cindy's personal maid, she naturally didn't discover Ye Cindy's vomiting symptom just today. It had probably been some time. But the first person she told wasn't Ren Wan Yun but Mo Qing, who passed messages for her. Mo Qing also told her that if Ren Wan Yun didn't discover it, keep this matter a secret for the time being and talk about it later.

It was also Chun Tao's good luck. For such a long time, Ren Wan Yun didn't notice anything wrong with Ye Cindy until today.

Outside, Doctor Chen came quickly under Xiang Lan's urging. He was also the one who treated Ye Cindy's external injuries before. This was the doctor given to Ren Wan Yun when she got married from her maiden family. Sometimes when Ren Wan Yun wanted to deal with some concubines and do some inconvenient things, it was Doctor Chen who helped. Doctor Chen was Ren Wan Yun's confidant, so there was no need to avoid anything.

Ren Wan Yun watched Doctor Chen feeling Ye Cindy's pulse anxiously. Ye Cindy was still a little scared and shrank in Ren Wan Yun's arms. Doctor Chen put his hand back. His expression was solemn. He took a look at Ye Cindy and then shook his head at Ren Wan Yun.

"All of you, get out." Ren Wan Yun said to the servants in the room.

Xiang Lan, Cai Ju and Chun Tao hurriedly withdrew.

After the servants left, Doctor Chen sighed and said to Ren Wan Yun: "The young lady's pulse is smooth like a running pearl. It's a happy pulse."

Although she had guessed it in her heart, when she really heard the doctor say it, Ren Wan Yun still felt dizzy. She looked at Doctor Chen. Her voice trembled unconsciously, but she still said firmly: "Doctor, can you make Qing'er lose this child? Qing'er is still young. She can't... can't be discovered."

If it was just being defiled, if it was well hidden, there might not be no way out in the future. But if there was a child, this was an adulterous child. Both Ye Cindy and the child in her belly were to be drowned in a pond!

"The young lady's body is originally delicate. Now she is still young," Doctor Chen said: "If the fetus is lost, it will probably hurt the root of her body. If not careful, it's afraid that it will be very difficult to have children in the future...."

One blow after another all fell on Ren Wan Yun's head. If Ye Cindy lost the ability to be a mother, even if she found a family for her in the future, Ren Wan Yun knew better than anyone what would happen to a woman who couldn't have children. A woman without children in the inner court was like a soldier without weapons on the battlefield. She would surely be defeated in the end.

"And the young lady hasn't fully recovered yet. If she loses the fetus again, it will be very dangerous." Doctor Chen said.

"No... can't lose it." Ren Wan Yun was stunned. After a moment, she looked at Ye Cindy in her arms and couldn't help feeling sad from the bottom of her heart: "My poor Qing'er!"

If the child was lost, it might cost Ye Cindy's life. Even if her life was saved, she might not be able to have children in the future. Anyway, the fetus couldn't be lost. But if it wasn't lost, then... What should Ye Cindy do in the future?

This seemed to have no way out no matter how it looked. In Ren Wan Yun's heart, there was only deep despair.

Outside the door, Chun Tao looked into the room and whispered: "Sister Xiang Lan, the young lady... Is the young lady..."

"Shh," Xiang Lan warned: "Speak less. If the madam knows, you won't have a good result."

"Ah," Cai Ju said worriedly: "What should we do now?" She and Xiang Lan had naturally guessed what was going on. If Ye Cindy was pregnant, what would happen to Caiyun Courtyard in the future? They had to think carefully before taking every step.

Chun Tao pursed her lips, but there was pride in her eyes.

Doctor Chen came out of Caiyun Courtyard, left the Ye Mansion, and returned to his small courtyard in the north of the city. Just as he walked into the yard, he saw his wife and children running out and couldn't help wiping the sweat.

Before going out for the visit today, he received a letter from someone he didn't know. It taught him that when he treated Ye Cindy later, he must say that Ye Cindy couldn't lose the fetus and find a way to let Ren Wan Yun protect the fetus for Ye Cindy. Otherwise, his whole family would be killed. That letter also attached the hairpin flower of his wife. Doctor Chen was scared. When treating Ye Cindy, he had to do as that person said.

He was originally someone who was paid a lot of money by Ren Wan Yun's maiden family to handle affairs for Ren Wan Yun. Now he betrayed his master. He was naturally frightened and secretly considered leaving the capital. Nevertheless, Doctor Chen was still a little puzzled. According to Ren Wan Yun, even Ren Wan Yun herself only discovered Ye Cindy's vomiting symptom today. How did the person who threatened him know about this?

In the West Courtyard, Gu Yu came in and whispered a few words in Ye Lily's ear who was playing chess at the table. After a moment, Ye Lily smiled: "Well done. Has the silver given to Doctor Chen been sent?"

"Mo Qing has already sent it." Gu Yu said: "Why did the girl give him such a large amount of silver? Since we have already threatened his life, there is no need for silver."

"That's different," Ye Lily put down the chess piece and smiled: "People can change. Just threatening, Doctor Chen will sooner or later take his whole family and escape from the capital. It will be difficult to deal with in the future. But if a large sum of money is given, guess what he will do?"

"I don't know." Gu Yu shook her head.

"He will think that since he has already betrayed, he might as well betray to the end and get more silver to be worthy of his betrayal. He will keep maintaining this lie until his master discovers the betrayal."

Gu Yu was slightly stunned and couldn't tell what she felt. When did her girl even know what was in people's hearts? "But," Gu Yu wondered: "What is the purpose of maintaining this lie?"

For what?

Ye Lily smiled: "You tell Mo Qing to tell Chun Tao that she must help the eldest young lady have a good pregnancy. The better the pregnancy is maintained, the more beneficial it will be to us."
