Chapter 66 Aunt Qiu Is Also Pregnant

Lu Lingyun was checking the accounts in the courtyard when a servant rushed in to report.

"Madam, something terrible has happened!"

"What now?"

"Aunt Xing and Aunt Qiu got into a fight in front of Yaoguang Pavilion!"

Hearing this, Lu Lingyun angrily threw down the ledger.

They still dare to cause trouble!

She stood up and led her people towards Yaoguang Pavilion. Along the way, the maidservant hurriedly explained the situation.

It turned out that Aunt Qiu had come to return the used charcoal to Yaoguang Pavilion and bumped into Aunt Xing. They exchanged a few heated words, but Aunt Qiu barely responded and left after collecting new charcoal. Xing Dairong then rushed forward and started tearing at Qiu Ling.

The ground was slippery from cleaning, causing both of them to fall.

Lu Lingyun quickly asked, "Where is Xing Dairong? Is she hurt?"

"Aunt Xing is fine, but Aunt Qiu seems to have bled."

Hearing this, Lu Lingyun's face turned ashen. "Has the doctor been called?"

"The doctor has already been summoned."

After hearing the whole story, Lu Lingyun arrived outside Yaoguang Pavilion.

Several maidservants and servants were gathered there, and she could hear the commotion from afar.

"Aunt Xing, you should get up!"

"I won't get up; let everyone see this!"

Xing Dairong refused to get up. She had fallen and was lying on the ground, refusing to move until Qiu Ling did so as well.

She would blame everything on Qiu Ling later.

"Aunt Xing, our aunt is bleeding!" Xiao He said anxiously.

"Hmph, your aunt is an expert at this kind of act!"

Xing Dairong sneered. She thought Qiu Ling was even better at acting than herself.

She must have known that pushing her would lead to punishment, so she was putting on a show.

Although she had initiated the fight by pushing first, it didn't matter because she was pregnant with Cheng Yunshuo's child.

As long as she stayed on the ground, Qiu Ling would definitely be punished today!

She smirked, thinking about the upcoming punishment for Qiu Ling.

At that moment, a clear and cold voice rang out, "Xing Dairong!"

Hearing Lu Lingyun's voice, Xing Dairong immediately toned down her attitude. She turned around and saw Lu Lingyun approaching with a group of people.

Immediately, she started moaning, "Ouch, ouch."

"Stop whining and get up!" Lu Lingyun commanded coldly.

With that, Xing Dairong stopped moaning and reluctantly stood up with the help of a maid.

Lu Lingyun glared fiercely at Xing Dairong before turning to check on Qiu Ling. "Aunt Qiu!"

Qiu Ling looked disheveled, her face pale, clutching her stomach, with a large pool of blood beneath her.

"How can there be so much blood!"

Xing Dairong, who had just gotten up, pouted. "It has nothing to do with me. We both fell; she tripped herself!"

Lu Lingyun turned to look at her, meeting her eyes. Xing Dairong nervously looked away and, to avoid punishment, puffed out her belly. "I also fell and my stomach still hurts."

Lu Lingyun cursed inwardly but ignored Xing Dairong for the moment and ordered the servants, "Quickly carry Aunt Qiu inside!"

The pale-faced Aunt Qiu was carried back to Autumn Fragrance Courtyard.

Soon, the doctor arrived.

The doctor's expression grew increasingly grave. Lying on the bed, Qiu Ling's face remained terrifyingly pale, her brows furrowed tightly, indicating severe injuries.

Seeing this, Xing Dairong suddenly panicked.

Oh no, oh no, did I really hurt her badly?

All I did was bump into her, pull her hair, and tear her clothes. Could she be that badly hurt?

Besides, Qiu Ling, that wretched woman, is good at acting. She pretended to fall into the water before Cheng Yunshuo to frame me. This time, it's probably the same.

Thinking this, Xing Dairong decided to take the initiative.

"Ouch!" she cried out in pain.

She had the protection of her unborn child. With the baby, Lu Lingyun wouldn't dare do anything to her!

"What's wrong with you now?" Lu Lingyun, sitting nearby, turned to look at Xing Dairong.

"My stomach hurts," Xing Dairong said with a pained expression. "She must have pushed me and disturbed my pregnancy."

Lu Lingyun heard this and sneered, "Tell me again, who pushed whom?"

Xing Dairong, upon hearing this, knew that Lu Lingyun was not Cheng Yunshuo and thought she could easily fool her. She immediately clutched her stomach, "But I really did fall. At the time, it wasn't just Qiu Ling who fell."

At this moment, the doctor had finished examining Qiu Ling.

Lu Lingyun directly said, "Doctor Zhang, please examine her as well."

"Yes."

Doctor Zhang came over to take Xing Dairong's pulse.

Xing Dairong frowned and kept giving hints to the old man with a white beard and long eyebrows in front of her, while complaining about her stomach pain.

She knew these old Chinese doctors well.

Unlike Western medicine, which has advanced instruments to determine a patient's condition, all she needed to do was insist that her stomach felt uncomfortable, and he would surely say something about her losing her pregnancy energy.

Sure enough, under Xing Dairong's complaints, Doctor Zhang frowned and said, "This lady seems to have lost her pregnancy energy."

Upon hearing this, Xing Dairong became more agitated, "The child in my belly is Yunshuo's only child. If anything happens to the child, what will Yunshuo do!"

Seeing Lu Lingyun's face turn colder, she knew she had hit the right spot.

With a child involved, Lu Lingyun absolutely wouldn't dare touch her.

Even if she caused the incident today, both Lu Lingyun and Qiu Ling would have to bear it!

However, just as her scheming and smugness began to rise, she heard Doctor Zhang calmly say, "This lady has lost her pregnancy energy, but the other lady shows signs of miscarriage."

Miscarriage?!

Xing Dairong's smugness abruptly stopped, and Lu Lingyun was instantly shocked, "Qiu Ling is also pregnant!"

"Yes, Young Lady. The other lady is also expecting, around two months along."

Two months... That means she got pregnant around the same time as Xing Dairong!

Lu Lingyun suddenly remembered the time when Lu Hanyi told her about her pregnancy.

It turned out that, intentionally or unintentionally, she had brought another child into the Marquisate!

"Qiu Ling, how could you not know you were pregnant!"

Lu Lingyun walked urgently to Qiu Ling's bedside, looking at her anxiously.

Qiu Ling slowly woke up, listening to their conversation, "Young Lady, am I also pregnant?"

"You've been pregnant for two months! How could you be so careless!"

Lu Lingyun scolded her gently.

"My periods are irregular, so I didn't notice." Qiu Ling was both surprised and delighted, yet anxious; she was actually pregnant.

Thinking back, Lu Lingyun had previously told her that the Marquisate would soon welcome a new child. Counting the days, it was indeed during that period.

After hearing about Xing Dairong's pregnancy, she had lost hope, and later, she had given up on Cheng Yunshuo. She never expected this.

Her Young Lady truly was prophetic!

She was also going to have a child!

"From now on, you must take good care of yourself and ensure the safety of the child," Lu Lingyun said to Chunxing, "Chunxing, go pick two more maids from the household. From today onwards, no one is allowed to disturb Aunt Qiu!"

"Yes!"
