Now, Shen Qing’s health was getting better and better, but her temper wasn’t very stable. Although she was much better than before, she would still be in a daze occasionally. When she mentioned certain words, she would even tremble in fear. She probably still needed to recuperate.
On this day, Ren Wanyun lost her temper again in the house. The ground was filled with broken teacup fragments. Now, Ren Wanyun’s temper was getting worse and worse. In the past, because everything went smoothly, she was rarely angry, but now, she punished her servants every few days, making everyone live in terror.
“That heartless man!” Ren Wanyun said angrily, “He only cares about his concubines. Even if his daughter is in such a state, he still doesn’t come to visit her. How heartless!”
The person she was scolding was Shen Gui. The servants in the room did not even dare to breathe loudly. Ren Wanyun was angry at Shen Gui because the letter she wrote to Prince Yu, which specified that Shen Miao and Shen Qing had changed rooms that night, was stopped by Shen Gui. Moreover, she did not know what method Shen Gui used, but even now, Prince Yu did not seem to know about this. She originally wanted to use Prince Yu to punish Shen Miao, but her plan was ruined by Shen Gui. Ren Wanyun was indignant.
Just as she was thinking, she heard a cry from the room. Ren Wanyun’s expression changed and she quickly walked in to take a look. She saw that Chun Tao was feeding Shen Qing porridge, but for some reason, the porridge was all spilled, and Shen Qing was still vomiting.
“What’s going on?” Ren Wanyun shouted sternly and glared at Chun Tao. “I told you to take care of Miss. Look at what you’ve done!”
“I deserve to die.” Chun Tao hurriedly knelt down and said, “It’s just that for some reason, Miss has been vomiting a lot these past few days. When she was eating porridge just now, she vomited again. Madam, I think you need to find a doctor for Miss. Perhaps she ate something wrong and her stomach is upset.”
Over the past few days, the doctor who treated Shen Qing did not come often. Because Shen Qing’s injuries were almost healed, she just needed to rest. Now that Ren Wanyun heard Chun Tao say this, she was anxious. Just as she was about to send Cai Ju to look for the doctor, she was suddenly stunned. She seemed to have realized something and looked at Chun Tao, asking slowly, “Did you say that Qing has been vomiting these days?”
“Yes.” Chun Tao was a little puzzled. “But the food is clean.”
Ren Wanyun covered her chest, her heart in turmoil. Chun Tao was still young and did not know about this, but she was experienced. This was clearly a sign of pregnancy.
Her vision turned black and she almost fainted. Xianglan, who was beside her, quickly helped her up. “Madam!”
“Get Doctor Chen over.” Ren Wanyun paused for a moment before saying with a hand on her heart. She looked at Shen Qing with shock.
Chun Tao lowered her head, but no one saw the smile in her eyes.
As Shen Qing’s personal maid, she naturally had found out about this many days ago, but the first person she told was not Ren Wanyun, but Mo Qing. Mo Qing also told her that if Ren Wanyun did not find out, she should hide this matter for the time being.
Ren Wanyun did not notice anything wrong with Shen Qing until today.
Doctor Chen quickly rushed over. He was the one who treated Shen Qing’s injuries. This was the doctor who had been given to Ren Wanyun when she got married. Doctor Chen was Ren Wanyun’s trusted aide, so she naturally did not have to hide anything.
