Chapter 634 The Child Cannot Be Saved
Just as Ms. Xu was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"What's wrong? Go and see," Madam Xu asked the maid on night watch.
The maid had only been gone a short while when she rushed in in a panic, saying, "Madam, something terrible has happened! The young mistress is bleeding! Qiuwen is outside begging you to quickly fetch the imperial physician!"
Startled, Madam Xu didn't dare delay for a moment. She quickly dressed, took Grand Tutor He's invitation, and went to personally invite him.
When Qiuwen returned to Qinfang Courtyard, Qin Wanning was still bleeding profusely from below.
With red eyes and a trembling voice, He Yulin kept calling out to Qin Wanning.
"A Ning!"
"A-Ning! Wake up, don't scare me."
Seeing his expression, Qiuwen felt nothing but irony. "Young Master was just about to strangle Young Madam, and now this is exactly what you wanted. Who are you trying to impress with this act!"
He Yulin still held Qin Wanning tightly, pressing his face against her thin cheek, and gently calling her name in her ear, as if he didn't hear her.
But tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
He Yulin never expected things to turn out this way.
Only when he could feel Qin Wanning's still-warm body could he feel at ease.
Before an incense stick had burned, Madam Jia arrived with Physician He, who lived the closest to the residence.
Upon entering the bedroom, Madam Xu and Physician He smelled a strong odor of alcohol and blood, and a bad feeling welled up in their hearts.
"The imperial physician has arrived!"
As soon as Madam Xu spoke, Qiuwen immediately came over and led Physician He inside, "Please take a look at our young mistress, she's bleeding a lot!"
"Alright." Doctor He followed and walked to the bedside.
When Physician He arrived, He Yulin continued to hold Qin Wanning, but instead put his arm around her back, making room for Physician He to take her pulse.
"Doctor He, please examine my wife. She's angry with me and won't wake up."
Physician He looked up and glanced at He Yulin. He saw that He Yulin's eyes were red and he was still crying. The smell of alcohol on him was stronger than the smell of blood.
"Don't worry, Lord He, I will do my best."
After speaking, Physician He began to take Qin Wanning's pulse.
However, his expression gradually became serious, and his brows furrowed.
"Doctor He, how is A-Ning?" Madam Xu looked at Qin Wanning's pale face, her eyes filled with worry.
Physician He put down his hand that was taking the pulse, looked at Madam Xu and He Yulin, and said, "Young Madam He's unborn child cannot be saved. I will now administer acupuncture to stop the bleeding. Later, I will prescribe a formula to induce abortion. As long as the child is delivered, Young Madam He's life can be saved."
He Yulin's heart sank to the bottom. Although it was already the hottest time of summer, his whole body felt as if he were in an icy lake, unable to feel any warmth.
The child he and A Ning had worked so hard to have was gone?
After Physician He used acupuncture to stop Qin Wanning's bleeding, He Yulin looked at Physician He with a pleading expression and asked, "Physician He, you lied to me, didn't you?"
Physician He sighed, "When I examined the young mistress a few days ago, I already noticed that the pregnancy was unstable. I didn't expect that the young mistress would still listen to the rumors outside. Young Master He, please accept my condolences!"
After saying that, Physician He got up to write a prescription.
He Yulin was stunned, as if struck by lightning. He held the unconscious Qin Wanning in his arms, frozen in place.
He knew about the rumors circulating outside, but he harbored resentment towards Qin Wanning and ignored them.
He just wanted Ah Ning to be blamed for a few days, to have others say the blame that he couldn't express, so that Ah Ning could wake up and repent for revealing that her mother had poisoned her.
He only wanted A Ning to regret it, then repent at her mother's grave, and start anew, and then he would continue to spend his life with A Ning.
I never expected it would have such a big impact on A Ning.
If he had known, he might not have treated A Ning this way today.
Physician He handed the prescription to Madam Xu and said, "Have someone prepare the medicine according to the prescription, decoct it, and have the young mistress take it for three consecutive days. After three days, the baby will be born."
"Thank you, Physician He." Madam Xu accepted the prescription, her eyes filled with sorrow. But for A-Ning's life, she still instructed her maid to go to the pharmacy to prepare the medicine.
At this moment, Qiuwen said to Physician He, "Physician He, please take a look at our young mistress's neck to see if it is injured."
"Neck?"
Both Physician He and Madam Xu were curious. When they looked at Qin Wanning again, Qiuwen had already lifted Qin Wanning's chin, and the two of them could clearly see the finger marks on Qin Wanning's neck.
"This!" Madam Xu exclaimed in shock.
Qiuwen decided to let everyone know about the young mistress's grievances.
She looked at He Yulin, who was sitting stiffly on the edge of the bed holding Qin Wanning, and said coldly, "It was the young master who pinched her. The young mistress's child was not lost because of the rumors, but was pinched by the young master."
The young mistress is such a good person, but the young master not only doesn't cherish her, he treats her like this without even knowing the facts. Even she, as his maid, feels aggrieved.
Physician He was initially shocked, but then he understood: Young Master He must have taken his anger out on the young mistress because of his mother's situation. But how could this be the young mistress's fault?
Confused!
He didn't say anything, but walked over to check Qin Wanning's neck.
After examining Qiu Wen, Physician He said, "The young mistress's neck is fine. Just apply some blood-activating and stasis-removing plaster."
"Thank you, Physician He." After Qiuwen finished speaking, she knelt down in front of Physician He with a thud and kowtowed heavily, saying, "Physician He, we have a maid who is seriously injured. I wonder if we could trouble you to take a look at her? Please, I will give you a consultation fee."
Physician He bent down to help Qiuwen up and said gently, "A doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. Take me to see him."
Qiuwen led Physician He to the adjacent side room. Pushing open the door, the maid who was taking care of Chunyan got up and made way for Physician He.
When Physician He went over to take a look, he saw that the little girl had a white cloth wrapped around her head, and the white cloth was almost soaked with blood.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Doctor He asked as he walked.
Qiuwen said, "I fell and bumped into the table. Could you please take a look?"
Physician He sat down by the bed, lifted Chunyan's eyelids to examine her, and then took her pulse. The more he did this, the more his brows furrowed.
Qiuwen hurriedly asked, "Doctor He, how is Chunyan?"
Physician He said, "She has injured her brain. I will give her acupuncture first, and then prescribe some medicine. If she can wake up, it will be a great blessing."
Upon hearing this, Qiuwen staggered for a moment, then pleaded, "Doctor He, please heal her. She cannot be harmed."
The two of them were bought into the mansion by the young mistress, and they ate, dressed, and slept together, becoming as close as sisters.
Moreover, the young mistress is such a kind-hearted person; if Chunyan couldn't be saved, how heartbroken she would be.
Doctor He nodded, "Young lady, don't kneel yet. I need to re-bandage her. You can assist me."
"Yes, thank you."
Qiuwen got up and began to assist Physician He in treating Chunyan.

Inside the main room, seeing He Yulin holding Qin Wanning tightly and unwilling to let go, Madam Xu sat down by the bed and advised, "Yulin, let Wanning lie down and rest!"
"Go away!"
He Yulin shouted loudly, startling everyone serving in the room.
He glared at Xu Shi with bloodshot eyes and asked viciously, "Second Aunt, are you satisfied now? My family is ruined, my mother is dead, I have no children, and my wife is on her deathbed. Are you happy?"
Madam Xu was stunned. She frowned at He Yulin and asked, "Yulin, do you know what you're saying?"
He Yulin snorted coldly, looking at Madam Xu with hatred in his eyes: "Second Aunt, don't think I don't know that you gathered everyone together in the hall that day and forced my mother to her death."
Mrs. Xu looked at her nephew with disbelief, as if he were a complete stranger.
Jia's death has caused him to lose his mind, his sense of right and wrong, and his ability to communicate normally.
Madam Xu stood up, coldly looking at He Yulin, who seemed to have gone mad, and said, "Your mother has brought this upon herself, and you have brought this upon yourself because you can't distinguish right from wrong. Wan Ning is the most innocent, yet you treat her like this. You will surely regret it one day."
