"Miss, there's one more thing..." Qian Rong's eyes flickered, and she bit her lip before finally deciding to reveal what she had overheard.
The matter was significant, related to the Miss's standing in Prince Qin's Mansion.
Qian Rong dared not take any chances.
Yang Shuqing, who was still processing the 'bad news' about Jiang Ningbao's two children being alive, immediately darkened when she heard Qian Rong's hesitant voice.
"What else is there? Speak quickly."
Qian Rong glanced at the closed door. With only herself and the Miss in the room, she leaned close to Yang Shuqing's ear and whispered the secret she had overheard.
"Miss, today I overheard Doctor Chen and his son talking about the secret medicine Zi Gui. They said that after taking Zi Gui, one would become infertile." After speaking, Qian Rong stood there anxiously, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Yang Shuqing staggered, her face turning as white as paper. Her mind was in chaos as she muttered to herself, "No, it can't be. You must have heard wrong."
She couldn't believe it. She refused to believe that taking Zi Gui could cause infertility.
It must be false.
But she couldn't help but think of the concubine who had been framed and had taken the Zi Gui medicine back then. It seemed... seemed that she had indeed never conceived again.
Yang Shuqing's mind exploded with a roar, and everything went blank. She spat out a mouthful of blood.
A pool of bright red blood appeared on the floor.
It was blinding!
"Miss..." Qian Rong was horrified, her face full of panic as she tried to support the swaying Miss.
Slap!
A heavy slap landed on Qian Rong's face.
"Get out!" After slapping Qian Rong, Yang Shuqing pushed her away forcefully.
Qian Rong was struck hard, her face stinging with pain, her ears ringing, and a metallic taste in her mouth as she stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Miss, please calm down. I'll leave right away."
Qian Rong got up from the floor, her face swollen, and left Yang Shuqing's room in a disheveled state.
...........
As the cold wind blew outside, Qian Rong covered her swollen face, tears streaming down. At that moment, she felt deeply wronged and secretly regretted revealing the information. She wished she hadn't said anything.
Qian Xin returned and saw Qian Rong crying at the door. Shocked, she hurriedly asked, "Qian Rong, why are you crying?" Qian Rong shook her head and said nothing. Seeing Qian Rong's swollen face, Qian Xin tightly gripped the food box and anxiously entered the room.
Less than a tea's worth of time later, Qian Xin came out.
"Qian Rong, is the Miss feeling unwell? Should I go get Doctor Chen?"
Qian Rong's eyes flickered as she lowered her head.
"I don't know."
Qian Xin frowned and rushed to the medical hall to summon Doctor Chen.
..........
Jiang Ningbao was unaware of Yang Shuqing's reaction, but upon learning that Yang Shuqing had sent for Doctor Chen, she was in high spirits. She drank three bowls of chicken soup in a row, which delighted Chunxi.
