Xu Zhihuai lost his children twice. Last time he almost died from a hemorrhagic collapse. If he didn't handle it properly this time, he would either die or become disabled.
"Madam, she is less than two months pregnant... You have to think carefully. Whether you keep her or abandon her, you will have a narrow escape from death."
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Wei Li's expression and saw that he had a pair of frowning eyebrows. There was no worry at all, only murderous anger.
If it had been anyone else, their legs would have been weak from fear.
The old doctor is upright and neither humble nor arrogant: "I have been practicing medicine for decades. I only know how to treat illnesses and save people, not flattery. Do you want to protect my wife's life?"
It looks like he is dressed rich or noble, so why is he so cruel to his woman?
Wei Li said nothing, waved his hand expressionlessly and asked him to take the money and leave.
Changqing County is not a big place, but it is very lively.
Xu Zhihuai lived in the Xianlai Inn, and he could hear the hawking sounds downstairs through the window.
Wei Li pretended to be a silk merchant and spent a lot of money to buy out the entire store.
Her fever hadn't gone away yet, so Jinhua filled a bowl of boiling ginger soup and fed it to her spoonful by spoonful.
Xu Zhihuai looked haggard and sick. He sat on the bedside and said feebly: "Where is Mr. Hou?"
Jinhua shook her head repeatedly and looked back at Su Yu.
Su Yu glanced at the door for a few times, then ran over and said, "After the old man left, the Marquis didn't come back. It's been a long time."
Xu Zhihuai said lightly: "It would be better if he is not here."
He must have thought she was a burden, so he went to Fengdu first.
Just when she thought she could finally be clean, Wei Li appeared again.
Xu Zhihuai's heart tightened and he looked at him quietly.
His face looked very ugly.
Wei Li is the scariest when he doesn't speak.
The light was dim, and his face was so ghostly that people dared not look directly at him.
Jinhua and Su Yu retreated, not daring to go too far, so they stood at the door and listened quietly.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he asked softly: "Master Hou has stayed in Changqing County for so long, won't it delay the business? I know my health well. I will be fine after a few days of rest. Why don't you leave first?" "
Wei Li said in a deep voice: "I can't leave."
Xu Zhihuai was confused: "Why?"
"because of you."
Xu Zhihuai smiled weakly: "How could it be possible? Don't scare me, Lord Marquis."
He wouldn't be so kind. Not to mention that she was sick, even if she died, he wouldn't care.
Wei Li pursed her thin lips and said calmly: "There is something in your stomach that shouldn't be there."
When Xu Zhihuai heard the words, he was stunned for a moment. He thought he was dizzy because of illness and didn't hear clearly.
"What did the Marquis say?"
Wei Li's gaze slowly dropped and fell on her flat belly, causing Xu Zhihuai to panic instantly. She hurriedly put her hands in front of her to protect herself instinctively.
"Really……"
Wei Li sneered: "What are you protecting? Do you think you can protect it?"
Xu Zhihuai's breath was suffocated, and a dull pain spread in his chest, coming menacingly.
"Master Marquis, I know I can't protect him, but this child... came so suddenly, I thought I wouldn't be pregnant again."
"It just happened to be there."
Seeing his gloomy look, Xu Zhihuai said in a trembling voice: "The child is not mine alone, the Marquis also has a share."
If you count the days, you will know that this child is not the prince's.
It's him who doesn't let her go every day. It's his sperm that gets in his head and harms others and himself.
Wei Li's expression suddenly changed, he pushed her down and pinned her down, holding his arms firmly on both sides of her body as if they were imprisoned, he lowered his head to look at her face: "Are they all the same to me?"
Xu Zhihuai struggled weakly, with countless resentment hidden in his troubled eyes.
"What are you going to do this time, Lord Marquis? Give me a bowl of medicine, or kill me directly to avoid future troubles."
She almost said this through gritted teeth.
Wei Li's eyes were dark.
For the first time, he felt entangled beyond his control.
Xu Zhihuai was still sick after all. He turned his head and coughed lightly.
Coughing and coughing, tears flowed out.
Wei Li's eyes narrowed slightly. He held her wrist, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said coldly: "Why be so pretentious? Even now, you won't be willing to give birth to my child."
Xu Zhihuai bit his lip: "Master Hou, please let me go. I'm still sick after all..."
Wei Li persisted to the end and bullied him: "Take care of the matter before going to Fengdu."
Xu Zhihuai smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, let him see what he does."
"good!"
He responded suddenly and loudly.
Wei Li let go of his hand and stood up to pour tea and drink tea by himself. He seemed to be very irritated. He picked up the cup and put it down again. The teapot and teacup bumped against each other from time to time, making bursts of noise.
It was a good cup of tea, but I didn't know where it offended it. After just two sips, he threw it to pieces with his hand.
Xu Zhihuai hugged the quilt and watched his every move from the corner of his eyes, always feeling that there was something abnormal about him.
Seeing that he had thrown something, Su Yu from outside the door boldly came in to clean it up. Unexpectedly, she just knelt down and heard Wei Li say coldly: "Get out!"
Su Yu retreated in a panic.
Wei Li turned to look at Xu Zhihuai: "How do you discipline your servants? If you can't manage them well, I can help you."
Xu Zhihuai muttered: "Master Hou is angry in his heart, so there is no need to vent his anger on others. The old doctor must have prescribed it. It's just a bowl of bitter medicine. I just drank it."
When Wei Li saw how happy she was, his eyes became even fiercer: "Don't worry."
That night, Wei Li sent someone to arrest the old doctor and came back and questioned him: "The child cannot be kept. I give you one day to consider the prescription. How sure are you of saving my life?"
The old doctor was angered by his rudeness and replied unceremoniously: "Master, please think carefully! Madam is weak in energy and blood. If she rashly administers the medicine, her life will not be saved."
"If I can't save her life, I'll take your life."
The old doctor is not afraid of death: "I have been practicing medicine and saving people all my life, and I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. I am not afraid of death."
He glared at Wei Li, then looked at the entourage behind him: "You look rich and powerful. It's so easy to cure your wife. Why do you insist on her death?"
Wei Li's face was expressionless, only his eyes flickered.
"Can you keep her from dying?"
"Nothing is difficult in the world, you have to try it to find out."
The old doctor took medicine overnight and checked Xu Zhihuai's pulse again. In front of Wei Li, he deliberately told Xu Zhihuai inside the curtain: "Madam, this pregnancy is very dangerous. You must not worry too much about it." Madam, please take a good rest for a few days. I will do my best to keep you, mother and son safe."
Mother and child are safe...
Xu Zhihuai looked at the rickety old man through the hazy curtains and said softly: "Thank you."
After he left, she looked at Wei Li's figure again and said slowly: "Master Hou, what is going on? My body has been disabled for a long time. How can mother and child be safe?"
Why did he suddenly change his mind and want to keep this child! Absolutely ridiculous!
