In the East Courtyard of the Pingning Marquis Mansion.
For half a month in a row, Jiang Fuyue had forced herself to drink bitter medicinal soup. She not only showed no signs of pregnancy, but she also often felt as if her body had been emptied and she couldn't lift her spirits.
She originally thought that it was just because she was physically weak and needed to continue recuperating for a while.
However, when Dr. Xue came to feel her pulse daily as usual, he frowned tightly and didn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Fuyue's heart sank to the bottom again.
The last time Dr. Xue showed such an expression was when he diagnosed that she was physically weak and it would be difficult for her to have children. So this time...
"Dr. Xue, what exactly... What is wrong with my body?" Her body kept trembling because of fear.
Dr. Xue shook his head and sighed deeply. He saluted Pei Qing'an, who was standing to one side: "Please step aside, Your Highness. I have a few words I want to say to Your Highness."
Jiang Fuyue's face instantly changed.
Under normal circumstances, the only time when a doctor would set aside the patient and talk to the family alone was... when the patient was seriously ill and didn't have long to live!
And what if she didn't have long to live?!
As soon as this thought popped up, it was like a tightly coiled vine, choking her until she couldn't breathe.
She grabbed Pei Qing'an, who was about to stand up, tightly: "Qing'an, I want to listen. Dr. Xue can say whatever he has to say in front of me!"
Pei Qing'an pretended to helplessly hold her hand and tried to persuade her: "Fuyue, you should rest at ease in the room first. Whatever Dr. Xue says to me, I will definitely repeat it word for word. How about it?"
How about it?
Jiang Fuyue's attitude became even more determined: "No! I want to listen. You can just say it in front of me!"
She was trembling all over, and the fear in her heart was infinitely magnified.
She was afraid that she really didn't have long to live...
Pei Qing'an pulled her into his arms and passed the warmth of his palm to her. He followed her words: "Okay, I promise you. If there really is anything, I will definitely face it with you."
After a while, he said: "Dr. Xue, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Reporting to Your Highness, Her Highness's physical weakness has become even more serious. It is useless to continue recuperating her body." Dr. Xue paused and added in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that in the future, Her Highness will have a very difficult time conceiving a child."
This short sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, splitting Jiang Fuyue's soul into pieces.
She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to maintain the calm on the surface, but the tears that didn't live up to her expectations had already welled up in her eyes.
Dr. Xue said that it was useless to recuperate her body and that it would be extremely difficult for her to conceive a child. In other words, it meant that she... couldn't give birth to a child for Qing'an and there was no cure for it?
Jiang Fuyue had never been this scared in her life.
Qing'an was the heir of the Pingning Marquis Mansion. In the future, he would inherit the entire Pingning Marquis Mansion. As his wife, she couldn't give birth to a child. Jiang Fuyue didn't even dare to think about what kind of situation she would be in in the future.
She grabbed Pei Qing'an's sleeve tightly, afraid that if she let go, her Qing'an would abandon her.
"Dr. Xue, you can go down first." Pei Qing'an tightly pulled her shoulders and ordered Dr. Xue.
Dr. Xue left as he was told.
In the large bedroom, only the two of them remained.
"Qing'an." As soon as Jiang Fuyue opened her mouth, tears streamed down like broken beads: "It is extremely difficult for me to conceive a child. Will you... divorce me?"
Divorce his wife?
A few traces of gloom flashed across Pei Qing'an's eyes.
How could he bear the reputation of divorcing his wife who couldn't give birth to a child!
He looked at her affectionately: "Fuyue, how could I divorce you? You are the only wife in my life. Moreover, I just said that I would face it with you."
"But it is extremely difficult for me to give birth. I..." Jiang Fuyue's face was ashen, but she suddenly changed her words and grabbed his sleeve: "No! I don't believe it! How could it be extremely difficult for me to give birth?!"
"There are countless divine doctors and famous doctors in the world. I will return to the mansion and ask my father and mother to come out. They have a lot of connections outside. I will ask them to send people out to find a few divine doctors to feel my pulse. I don't believe that it is really extremely difficult for me to give birth!"
"There are so many women in the world who can give birth to children. I don't believe that I am the only one who can't give birth to children!"
Her expression became more and more ferocious, and Pei Qing'an's patience was also exhausted at this moment.
How could he allow her to invite other divine doctors?
"Fuyue, calm down!" He placed his hands on her shoulders and forced her to look into his eyes: "Do you want the fact that it is extremely difficult for you to conceive a child to spread to everyone?"
Jiang Fuyue suddenly stopped talking and looked at him in confusion and helplessness.
When he saw this, Pei Qing'an's eyes were burning brightly. He said gently: "Fuyue, I'm not blaming you for the fact that it is extremely difficult for you to conceive a child. It's just that if this matter spreads out, it won't be good for your reputation."
Jiang Fuyue's eyes lit up and flashed with a moving light.
She didn't expect that Qing'an was still thinking about her reputation at this moment.
"You are the person I love the most in my life. For the sake of your reputation, I want to take on the reputation of having difficulty giving birth."
"From now on, I will say to the outside world that my body was accidentally injured before and it is difficult for me to have children."
These words made Jiang Fuyue cry with gratitude.
She pounced into his arms and felt extremely lucky in her heart: "Qing'an, it's really good to have you."
How lucky was she to be able to marry Qing'an, who loved her deeply, in this life?
But what she didn't know was that Pei Qing'an's lips were slightly curled up.
He could spread the news that it was difficult for him to have children to the outside world, and he could also clarify to the outside world that the person who really couldn't conceive a child was her.
After he successfully adopted that child into her name, he would clarify for himself. He would even be able to obtain a good reputation of never leaving his first wife and being affectionate and righteous!
Jiang Fuyue knew nothing about his thoughts.
After the brief moment of being touched, she sank into the sadness of the fact that it was extremely difficult for her to conceive a child. Her heart was like dead ashes, and she cried all day long.
The only thing that could comfort her was that after that, Qing'an no longer stayed in Yuehua's room. He didn't care about the child in Yuehua's belly. Instead, he was caring and considerate towards her.
Time seemed to have returned to the time when she and Qing'an were in love and deeply in love with each other in her previous life.
Regarding this, Jiang Fuyue was both touched and annoyed.
She often thought that if she could conceive a child for Qing'an, how happy and happy their lives would be now?
...
In the Bishui Courtyard of the Zhennan Duke Mansion.
After teaching different marks to different craftsmen, the results were remarkable.
In just a few days, a large number of imitation glass mirrors with different marks had appeared in the capital.
Lu Huaizhou held a few imitation glass mirrors and offered them to her like a treasure: "Miss Jiang, these glass mirrors with crescent moon and plum blossom marks are all imitations. I will directly lead the servants to capture those craftsmen. The moles will definitely no longer exist."
Jiang Fuying's lips twitched slightly. She looked at him deeply for a few times.
"Why is Your Highness so naive?"
"Those moles naturally know that the marks are different. How could they be so stupid as to put the fact that they are moles on the surface?"
Lu Huaizhou scratched his head. He felt that it made sense, but he couldn't think of a good solution.
"Miss Jiang, do you have any ideas? I will listen to you!"
Forget it. Since the young miss was so intelligent, she would definitely think of a solution. He just needed to cooperate!
"Then it's time for the second step."
"Please ask Your Highness to lead people to post notices in the entire capital, stating that there are imitation glass mirrors in the capital. Also, collect clues about the fake glass mirrors from everyone. Anyone who provides effective and real clues will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."
Lu Huaizhou instantly understood: "Miss Jiang wants to use heavy profits to lead the snakes out of their holes?"
"Not only." Jiang Fuying's smile was shallow: "I also want to make them bite each other."
There was more than one mole, but there would be a lot of clues.
Under the heavy reward, there would definitely be moles who would seek self - protection and betray their accomplices. They would just capture them all in one net!
