Chapter 158 - Miscarriage and a crack

Old Lady Xiao was furious.

She spat at her, “You little b * tch, you just wanted to kill my son, didn’t you?”, although she was also very angry at her b * stard second son.

But the Xiao family’s future and prosperity depended entirely on him.

Ge Chunru covered her face and looked at her inexplicably, “I don’t understand what you mean, mother.”

Old Lady Xiao was furious.

She waved her hand and was about to slap her again, but Ge Chunru’s servant girl stopped her.

This was the general’s order.

If anything happened to their madam, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves.

Old Lady Xiao also knew that this little slut was pregnant and her son valued her very much, so she did not insist forcefully.

She spat again. “What your brother did has now spread throughout the entire capital.

“It even caused my son to lose his reputation. You and your brother are jinxes and a curse to your parents. I shouldn’t have allowed you to marry into the Xiao family from the start.”

Then, she and her daughters-in-law took turns to scold Ge Chunru.

At the same time, they also told her about the rumours spreading in the capital and what happened yesterday.

Ge Chunru’s face turned pale. “Impossible, this is simply impossible.”

Old Lady Xiao sneered. “Now that the entire capital knows about it , do you think that if you say it’s impossible, then the situation outside might be otherwise?”

Ge Chunru suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuanshi was particularly in a bad mood when he returned yesterday. Her face turned pale again.

“He must have been schemed against.” She knew that Xiao Yuanshi wasn’t like this.

But if this was true, it would be too embarrassing.

Moreover, this rumour also implicated her younger brother.

How would her younger brother be able to face the public in the future?

She was so angry that she was on the verge of collapsing.

Old Lady Xiao snorted coldly. “It’s all because of you, a vixen, and your sluttish younger brother.

“I was wondering why my son treats your younger brother so well. It was because of this.”

“You and your siblings are all shameless b * stards. You…” Old Lady Xiao placed her hands on her waist and continued to curse.

Ge Chunru’s face turned green with anger when she heard these words. “You, you…”

Suddenly, her stomach hurt terribly.

She clutched her stomach. “It hurts, my stomach hurts so much.”

“Ah, there’s blood!” The servant girl beside her cried out in shock when she saw blood flowing out from Ge Chunru’s dress.

Ge Chunru hurriedly grabbed the servant girl’s arm. “Get the imperial doctor, quickly get the imperial doctor.”

She had had a miscarriage once and knew that this was a symptom of a miscarriage.

She had been looking forward to this child for a long time.

Moreover, the timing was right. She could not lose it, definitely not.

Then, she felt extremely dizzy and her vision blurred before she fainted.

Seeing this, Old Lady Xiao said, “This has nothing to do with us. This vixen is feeling guilty.”

Then, she quickly left with her two daughters-in-law.

As soon as Xiao Yuanshi returned home, the housekeeper updated him about the situation.

The housekeepers told him that the old lady came over to give the madam a tight slap after hearing the rumours from outside.

Not only did she tell her about the rumours, but she also scolded their madam.

Then, their madam was so angry that she miscarried.

Xiao Yuanshi’s vision turned black as well. He was so angry that he almost fainted.

His body swayed, but he managed to stand still.

After he recovered from his giddiness, he hurriedly walked towards the courtyard.

When he entered, he saw his wife lying on the bed with a pale face.

His sister-in-law was sitting at the side and wiping her tears.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshi enter, Ge Chunru’s sister stood up and bowed. “Greetings, brother-in-law.”

Xiao Yuanshi walked over. “How’s your sister?”

Her eyes were filled with tears. “My sister was so angry that she had a miscarriage.”

She applied some eye drops and continued. “The old lady not only scolded her, but told her about the rumours she heard. That’s why my sister was so angry that she had a miscarriage.”

This child had come at the right time.

It was time for the general’s residence to bear a child from the general’s first wife.

Furthemore, with the rumours involving her second brother, the general would not blame her second brother for the sake of his child.

But now, it was hard to say.

Ge Chunru’s sister tightened her grip on the handkerchief and lowered her head.

Her eyes were filled with coldness.

She hated Old Lady Xiao and the others even more.

After she successfully married into the second prince’s estate and had a strong foothold, she would definitely avenge her elder sister.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi felt like he was on the verge of breaking down.

The tide had yet to subside.

The child he had longed for was now gone because of his own mother.

He rubbed his forehead and said to Ge Chunru’s sister tiredly, “You can leave first. I’ll take care of it.”

She bowed again. “Then I have to trouble you, brother-in-law. Thank you. I’m sure you’ll be the one she wants to see the most when she wakes up.”

She left without comforting Xiao Yuanshi.

Men and women should be distinguished from each other.

As Xiao Yuanshi’s sister-in-law, it wasn’t appropriate for her to do something like this.

Moreover, she had a more ambitious goal.

She wasn’t interested in a general’s residence.

Ge Chunru woke up and saw Xiao Yuanshi sitting by the bed in a daze.

She hurriedly touched her stomach and held Xiao Yuanshi’s hand. “General, is our child still here?”

Xiao Yuanshi said in a hoarse voice, “We will have children in the future. You should rest well first. I have already sent people to look for the divine doctor.”

The imperial doctor had just told him that due to two miscarriages in a row, his wife’s health had deteriorated severely.

Moreover, she had to recuperate before getting pregnant, so the chances of her getting pregnant were not very high in this short period of time.

She would still stand a high chance of getting pregnant in the next one to two years with the divine doctor’s help.

However, he had previously heard from his trusted aides that this divine doctor had passed away, and his eldest son suddenly became his disciple.

3

He was still a little doubtful, so he asked to check if the divine doctor was really dead.

He also sent people to check on the other disciples of this divine doctor.

Otherwise, could he ask his eldest son to come and help his wife to recuperate if what he heard was true?

Could his eldest son come?

1

Hence, he could only look for other disciples of this doctor.

He did not believe that a divine doctor only had his eldest son as his disciple.

Ge Chunru was stunned by Xiao Yuanshi’s reply.

Her child was really gone. Then, she threw herself into his embrace and cried.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshi was also very sorrowful.

For some reason, the scene of Mdm Kong being pregnant with Xiao Hanzheng suddenly appeared in his mind.

While she was pregnant, she had to do many chores under the old lady and Mdm Wang’s orders.

Nevertheless, his child was born safely.

He once had high expectations for his first child and had personally taught Xiao Hanzheng when he was young.

He did not have much feelings for his two other children, especially his youngest son.

When he went to the battlefield, he did not even know that Mdm Kong was pregnant again.

Those of his age definitely wished for many children.

However, what could he do if his little wife was unable to get pregnant again?

Then, he would definitely hate Xi Rui and the others.

If it weren’t for them, his reputation would not be tarnished, and his mother would not come to find trouble with his little wife.

1

His little wife would not be so angry that she had a miscarriage.

Of course, he also had some criticism of Ge Chunru.

When she threw herself into his embrace just now, she actually hesitated for a while.

Was she concerned about what happened yesterday?

Moreover, she had been taking care of the foetus all day long in the yard since she was pregnant.

It was too much for her to constantly worry about her disappointing younger brother all day, until the foetus became unstable.

Ge Chunru also was resentful towards Xiao Yuanshi.

He was so wise and divine, yet someone actually schemed against him and led to their current situation.

She felt uncomfortable as she thought about it.

In particular, she lost her child because of a damn old bitch.

Did she have a conflict with the old Xiao family?

There was also a small crack in their husband and wife relationship, even though they loved each other and initially hoped to live together until death do them part.
