Chapter 165 Today you are the victim, the princess will stand up for you.
Physician Lu immediately shut up: "In that case, you all can decide what to do. If any bad consequences occur, don't blame me for not warning you."
These grudges and grievances had nothing to do with him, and he could have simply stood by and watched. But seeing that these people were about to give this medicine to a pregnant woman, he spoke up a few more words out of consideration for the innocent child.
Since he wouldn't listen, he had nothing more to say.
Thinking of this, Physician Lu decided to leave, so he stood up and asked, "Princess, I have some matters to attend to. Now that Madam Pei has finished her consultation, I will take my leave."
Qin Yizhen nodded: "It's been a long day for Physician Lu. Since you have something to do, please go ahead and take care of it."
"Thank you princess."
Physician Lu bowed and took his leave. Lady Changyang, fearing that Pei Yutang might talk nonsense again, asked him to see Physician Lu off.
After everyone left, Lady Changyang said, "Princess, I think this medicine shouldn't be taken too much, especially since Consort Yuan is pregnant. What if something goes wrong after taking it? Should we just leave it at that?"
“How can we let it go?” Lady Changting glanced at her. “You can simply refuse to drink it, as long as you admit that the medicine is problematic.”
Lady Changyang was in a bind. Admitting there was a problem was definitely not an option. Otherwise, if word got out, it would be that Pei Yutang conspired with his mistress to cause his wife's infertility. Would the Changyang Marquis's family lose all face? Would Pei Yutang lose all reputation?
"This medicine is definitely safe..." At this point, Lady Changyang could only insist that the medicine was safe. "It's just that every medicine has some degree of toxicity. Aunt Yuan is pregnant and really can't drink it. Otherwise, if it's really not possible, I'll drink it myself. What do you think?"
"That's obviously not going to work." Madam Min sneered. "Just now, Physician Lu said that this medicine won't kill anyone, but it will cause infertility if you take too much. You're so old, of course you dare to take it."
“That’s exactly right.” Qin Yizhen nodded. “Since the Pei family believes it’s a good medicine for nourishing the body and aiding fertility, it won’t really cause any harm if Aunt Yuan takes it once. Madam Changyang, don’t you agree?”
Lady Changyang's face stiffened, but she dared not say no.
"By the way, where is Aunt Yuan?" Qin Yizhen asked her. "Since she is involved in this matter, if we want to verify the truth of the matter, we should let her come out and say a few words."
Lady Changyang said, "Aunt Yuan is pregnant, so it might be inconvenient for her..."
"What's inconvenient about it?" Lady Changting snorted. "I think you're just protecting that slut. It's not right for you to protect a slut who came from a brothel."
"Back then, the father of the Marquis of Changyang was so obsessed with women that he turned the Marquis of Changyang's mansion into the Marquis of Changyang's mansion. The Marquis of Changyang took this as a warning and spent half his life trying to restore the Marquis of Changyang's mansion. It's a pity that his son turned out the same way."
Madam Min said, "Perhaps the Pei family is inherently bad, but the Marquis of Changyang is different. My Min family misjudged him, how hateful..."
"In this world, there are countless beautiful flowers and dazzling splendors, and there are always times when we misjudge things," Lady Changting advised her. "But since things have come to this, there is no need for regret or lament. The most important thing is to think about what to do next."
“What Lady Changting says is true.” Qin Yizhen smiled as well. “In this matter, Madam Min still has to listen to Lady Changting. She is very capable in her actions and conduct.”
Qin Yizhen really liked Lady Changting's character. As a friend, she would step in to help anyone in need, as long as it wasn't something harmful, regardless of gossip or being mired in past mistakes.
Make the most of what you have now and think about how to proceed.
What a wise and insightful person he is.
Madam Min also said, "That's absolutely right, I should listen to Madam Changting."
Qin Yizhen did not ask the Changyang Marquis's Mansion to remember to bring Aunt Yuan over. As time passed, Min Siyue finally woke up.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried together.
Lady Changting, standing to the side, advised, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Siyue still has her postpartum period to attend. You absolutely mustn't shed tears. Siyue, how are you feeling?"
Min Siyue leaned against the soft pillows with the help of her maid, and wiped away her tears upon hearing this: "It's alright, Auntie is worried."
"It's alright, don't worry too much. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."
Min Siyue, her face pale, pressed her hand against her lower abdomen and said, "Okay."
Lady Changting then said, "There is something you need to decide for yourself right now. When you had the accident today, your mother was at the Pingxi Marquis's residence. Princess Yizhen learned of this and came over."
"Right now, the Min family has secured a divorce for you, allowing you to return home and leave this hellhole of the Changyang Marquis's mansion. Are you willing?"
"Speak freely and boldly. Today you are the aggrieved party, and the princess will stand up for you. Whether you stay or leave, no one will dare to force you."
Just then, Pei Yutang, who was blocked outside the dormitory, banged on the door: "Siyue, don't listen to their nonsense. We've been husband and wife for three years and are very loving. How can we get a divorce? I acted impulsively this time. You promise to take good care of me from now on. We can still have a child later."
“Yes, Siyue,” Lady Changyang continued, “You’ve married into our Pei family now, you’re one of us, we’re all family! Nobody makes mistakes, and Yutang knows he was wrong, so just forgive him this once, and live a good life together in the future.”
"Family?" Min Siyue's expression was a mix of crying and laughing, her whole being so grief-stricken she seemed about to break. "How could my family treat me like this? How could they protect the concubine at every turn? And even lay a hand on me for her sake?"
This Aunt Yuan's methods weren't always that sophisticated. For example, she would cry a couple of times and say that Min Siyue had insulted her and that Min Siyue looked down on her background, but Pei Yutang believed her anyway.
And this time, he came up and without asking why, he assumed she was bullying him, and in a fit of anger, he hit her, causing her to lose the child she had finally conceived.
Seeing that she seemed dazed, Madam Min thought she was hesitating again, so she said, "Siyue, do you still remember the medicine packet that Yutang brought back for you? He said it was to nourish your body and help you conceive, hoping that you and I would have a child soon."
"Actually, it was all prepared by Aunt Yuan. Just now, Physician Lu said that it was a contraceptive soup, and it used a lot of random medicinal herbs. If taken for a long time, it may cause lifelong infertility."
"What?" Min Siyue was stunned, her face full of disbelief. "Contraceptive soup? Lifelong infertility?"
"Siyue, Siyue!" Pei Yutang pounded on the door again, continuing to shout, "Don't listen to their nonsense, they just want to trick you into agreeing to a divorce."
“That could never be some kind of contraceptive soup. It’s a family secret recipe passed down through generations. She got this medicine for you because she felt sorry for you since you’ve been unable to conceive.”
"Yuan'er is such a kind person, don't you know that?"
