Madam Su however did not want her daughter to get agitated. The child in her belly was the most important thing for the time being. Even His Majesty, the Emperor warned them that the child was not allowed to be harmed after all the Su family had gone through so much ' trouble' and the child had to be born at any cost.
Though those words sounded like they were filled with concern, Madam Su and Old Master Su knew that those words were actually warnings that his majesty had handed to them. This child was a result of their scheming, if something happened to it then not only would they lose everything but even the Emperor would get a chance to deal with them.
Thus, Old Madam Su gritted her teeth and lied, " Your second brother is fine. There is no need for you to worry, Qian Qian."
However she was lying, her second son was in so much pain that he was screaming and begging them to kill him. It was only when the physician gave him an anaesthesia, did he stop screaming.
How could Si Yiqian believe Old Madam Su? She knew that her mother was lying. She looked at her mother and then said, " Mother if you do not bring me then I will go on my own." As she finished speaking, she pushed off the blanket from her body and then rushed out of the room.
Seeing that her daughter was really concerned about her second brother Old Madam Su knew that if she refused then the latter would only get even more upset and the child in her belly would become even more unstable.
She rushed towards her daughter and caught her by her arm before saying, " All right stop running. I will bring you back with me but promise that you will control your emotions. Your second brother wouldn't want you to lose your child."
As she finished speaking, her eyes turned red once more. This child was the only hope for their family now. In the past, they thought that they could rely on their second child to become an official but now they could only rely on their eldest son. However, their elder son was facing too much pressure and now they could place the remaining hope on this child.
Only then did Su Yiqian control her tears as she nodded and then walked closer to her second brother's bed.
" You.. why are you here?" Elder brother Su was sitting next to the bed when he saw Su Yiqian enter the room. Didn't his parents say that it was bad luck for Si Yiqian who was a married and pregnant woman to see Second Brother Su like this? Then why did they bring her here?
" How can I not come?" Su Yiqian said with red eyes. " Second brother has become like this, can I stay at the palace?"
Elder Brother Su did not say anything, he knew that this matter was really important to their family. Su Yiqian walked over to her second brother's bed and then slowly lifted the blanket and sure enough it was just as her mother said, both the arms of her second brother had been cut off!
" NO!" Before seeing it with her own eyes, Su Yiqian could still refuse to accept but now that the situation was like this, even if she wanted to deny it, Si Yiqian could not do it!
When Old Madam Su saw that her daughter was getting agitated, she rushed ahead and embraced Su Yiqian. " You need to calm down, Qian Qian! Your second brother is fine, the imperial physician said that he would be able to survive. Do not worry !"
He was fine? How could she not worry? She was waiting for her second brother to become the prime minister of the Imperial City such that she would be able to live an even more prosperous life and now that he was like this, the dreams that she had were about to become nothing but ashes!
She turned to look at her mother and asked, " Mother tell me! Who did it? I want to know who is behind this?"
