“I didn’t tell anyone, but the Emperor summoned Zhongxi into the palace for something. I thought that she had already accepted and was pregnant with a Shao family’s child.
“There was no other way, so I brought the doctor to take a good look at Qi Yin. Who would have thought that the doctor would come back and tell me this instead? At that time, I had the selfish intention of not wanting Zhongxi to really marry the daughter of a small family, so I didn’t tell Zhongxi about this matter. I made the decision and had someone brew abortion medicine. I also threatened Qi Yin not to tell Zhongxi and even made her lie that she wanted to abort the child.
“I even asked the servant girl to brew a bowl of tonic medicine, falsely claiming that it was the abortion medicine, and let Qi Yin drink it. Qi Yin only had Zhongxi in her heart and everything she did was for Zhongxi’s good. She thought that she really drank the soup and could no longer get pregnant, so she felt that she was not worthy of Zhongxi.
“So, from that time on, Qi Yin not only lied that she aborted the child herself, but also told Zhongxi that she did not accept his proposal. Zhongxi’s personality changed greatly from then on. Before that, he didn’t used to be like this.”
“You, you, you…” Duke Shao was furious again. What had his wife done!
Inside the house, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
They had always felt that there was something between Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin. It seemed that this was it.
Immediately after, Xue Yan started to feel down.
In his previous life, Shao Zhongxi had become even colder than he was now. When he was young, he couldn’t save the person he liked. The person he liked died at that time. At first, he didn’t know who the person he liked was, but it was obvious now — the person he liked was Qi Yin.
However, would Qi Yin still die in this life?
Why did she die?
What kind of danger did they encounter?
Would he fail to save Qi Yin and end up with injuries?
“After that,” the High Duke’s wife continued, “About a year later, I regretted it when I saw Zhongxi and Qi Yin getting into such a mess. I told Zhongxi everything, but Zhongxi didn’t say anything else. He just told me not to tell Qi Yin that I told him everything.”
So Shao Zhongxi knew about it.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.
The High Duke’s wife was not in a hurry to continue speaking to High Duke Shao. Instead, she turned to Shao Zhongxi and said gently, “Zhongxi, bring Qi Yin here. I have something to say to her.”
She was trying to send Shao Zhongxi away.
It was only after Shao Zhongxi left that the High Duke’s wife continued, “A mother knows her son best. I know my child very well. He didn’t want me to tell Qi Yin that he already knew all this because he wanted Qi Yin to tell him one day. He didn’t want Qi Yin to suffer all this alone. He wanted Qi Yin to really rely on him. He also wanted to change Qi Yin’s mentality of bearing all the hardships on her own. He actually felt sorry for Qi Yin, but Qi Yin was too honest. She didn’t say a word even after that. Fortunately, she’s pregnant again. Zhongxi must have asked the doctor to take a look at her. There shouldn’t be any problems with this child. I’m relieved to say all of this. They were all stubborn before and had their own ideas. They shouldn’t be stubborn now, especially Zhongxi.”
“I don’t even know what to say about you.” Duke Shao sighed heavily.
“I’ll apologize to Qi Yin,” the wife of the High Duke said. “I’ve been trying to make it up to that child all these years. It’s just that she didn’t realize it. I’ll make it up to her in the future.”
