The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 130: Why go so far as to harm a baby?

Fan Tianxiang had always worked in the Ministry of Justice, but unfortunately, he hadn't left a good or bad impression on Ning Yuxuan until now. Now that he had solved this case, Ning Yuxuan presented a written request to the emperor to raise Fan Tianxiang's rank to Assistant Minister of Justice.

All of the mysteries in the marquis's inner court had come to the surface and was explained away by Qian Lianxue's weak body being unable to get pregnant, so she had repeatedly harmed the pregnant women in the household. She had scared Wen Wan into miscarrying and caused Mu Shuiqing into miscarriage by having her drink the wrong medicine. As for Jinse, she had been behind her own miscarriage. No matter how you viewed the evidence, Qian Lianxue couldn't have been the culprit for Jinse's miscarriage.

Ji Man thought this conclusion was ridiculous. If a woman harmed other women just because she couldn't have a child of her own, then she had to be mentally unstable. But, Qian Lianxue had clearly been a clever and ambitious woman. She wouldn't have done something so senseless without a better reason.

It might be true that Qian Lianxue had done all of these things, but the motive behind her actions couldn't have been such a simple one. However, Qian Lianxue had already died. Even if she said there was a hidden motive, there was no way to investigate the matter further.

Ji Man felt depressed. This was completely lacking the thrill of a satisfying revenge for the enmity she felt.

Her child... There were so many rambunctious babies in this household, but her child had disappeared without a trace. Her baby was like a stone that been thrown into the sea and would never be found again.---

Ji Man had been in low spirits for several days in a row. When Marquis Moyu came to Feiwan Courtyard to see her, he lightly asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Man despondently said, "I'm thinking about my child. I don't even know if my baby was a boy or girl."

Ning Yuxuan paused. He turned his head to the side and said to Dengxin, "Go and bring Xi-er over here for Madam to hold."

Ji Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This man's ability at comforting someone was really too appalling. Xi-er wasn't her child. Seeing him would only make her feel worse, okay?

Still, Xi-er seemed to have gained weight recently. After Xi-er had recovered from his fever, his immunity had become considerably better. He hadn't gotten feverish again since that time Wen Wen had come over and caused a big commotion. Out of all the babies in this household, Xi-er was the most robust one. In comparison, Xia-shi's Haohao appeared as if he was slightly undernourished.

"My lord, Xia-shi is requesting to see you."

Speak of the devil.

Recently, Xia-shi seemed to be suffering from one trouble or the other. Doctor Li had already gone to Cailian Courtyard several times. If it wasn't Xia-shi falling sick, it was Haohao getting sick. It was rare for her to have the energy to pay the marquis a visit.

"Let her come in."

Xi-er started crying, so Ji Man held him and walked back and forth as she coaxed him. As she was doing this, she saw Xia-shi staggering into the room.

Xia-shi's face was full of tears as she said, "My lord, Haohao has been poisoned!"

Ning Yuxuan's immediate fierce movement in standing up shocked Ji Man.

Staring at Xia-shi, he asked, "What did you say?"

Looking slightly wronged, Xia-shi said in a small voice, "Haohao hasn't been wiling to drink milk all day. This servant had a doctor check on him and discovered that Haohao has been poisoned. My lord, Madam, please go look."
