Churi Huaizhu clutched a handkerchief in her hand and quickened her steps. She was eager to know what this medicinal powder was and what it was used for. She made her way to the doctor's residence in the Wangquan Manor.
The doctor had prescribed the pregnancy - protecting medicine for her before. He had been serving the Wangquan family. Not long ago, he went on a journey and brought back many medicinal herbs.
"Please take a look. What kind of medicine is this powder?" Churi Huaizhu carefully handed the powder to the doctor. Her hands were still a bit shaky, but her face remained calm.
The doctor took the handkerchief. He knew that the origin of this powder was not simple, but he didn't ask. He just opened the handkerchief, brought the powder close to his nose and sniffed gently. There was a faint floral scent mixed with a strange pungent smell.
"Has this medicine come into contact with water?" the doctor asked, pinching a bit of the powder with his little finger and tasting it.
"Yes. I found it in the flowers when I was watering just now," Churi Huaizhu answered truthfully. The doctor glanced at her belly and nodded.
"It's better to avoid contact with this powder. It contains musk and saffron. Prolonged contact may cause miscarriage. This is the powder of an abortifacient," the doctor said firmly. His years of experience told him that this was carefully ground powder.
Churi Huaizhu asked the doctor to keep the powder. She knew that it must have been placed by Xiao Qing, but she didn't understand why Xiao Qing didn't put it directly in her diet but in the vase.
"This medicine becomes colorless and odorless after coming into contact with water, but its medicinal effect is stronger," the doctor said. This was also the reason he asked if the powder had touched water.
Churi Huaizhu forced a bitter smile. She had been trying to find excuses for Xiao Qing and look for doubts, but now there were none. Xiao Qing clearly wanted her to have a miscarriage.
Churi Huaizhu felt a bit sad. Absent - minded, she returned to her room and stared blankly at the flowers. Those were the flowers she and Xiao Qing had dug up together. Xiao Qing had said they could bring freshness and vitality to her.
"Madam, I've bought your medicine. The doctor said you need to take it all the time," Xiao Qing's energetic voice pulled Churi Huaizhu out of her daze.
She looked at Xiao Qing with a complex look in her eyes. "Put the medicine here, Xiao Qing. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Qing placed the medicine on the table in front of Churi Huaizhu. She had no idea what Churi Huaizhu was going to say. Churi Huaizhu took out a box of silver from her sleeve. It was the money she had never used.
"Take this silver. Thanks to your care these days, but I can't keep you here forever. You should have your own life. Leave the Wangquan Manor and use this silver to find a better life," Churi Huaizhu said, her eyes red. She wanted to ask Xiao Qing why she had done that, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Xiao Qing stared blankly at Churi Huaizhu. She was confused. Why did she have to leave as soon as she came back?
Xiao Qing's eyes darkened. Looking at the full box of silver, she couldn't accept it. "No, I won't leave. Madam, please don't let me go, okay?" Xiao Qing cried and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Churi Huaizhu felt a bit reluctant seeing her like this, but she couldn't keep a malicious person by her side.
"Madam! Please!" Xiao Qing hugged Churi Huaizhu's leg and cried sadly. Churi Huaizhu waved to the outside, and the butler walked in from the door.
"Take her away," the butler nodded and grabbed Xiao Qing's arm, dragging her towards the door. Xiao Qing kept pleading pitifully. Her tears fell on the ground, wetting the floor. Just when Churi Huaizhu was starting to feel sorry for her...
The crying Xiao Qing suddenly became obedient. The butler relaxed his hold on her for a moment. Taking advantage of this moment, Xiao Qing pulled out her hairpin and stabbed at Churi Huaizhu.
Churi Huaizhu was startled and dodged to the side, avoiding the attack. But Xiao Qing didn't give up. She continued to attack Churi Huaizhu. The butler sent someone to call Wangquan Baoye and then went to help Churi Huaizhu avoid Xiao Qing and tried to subdue her.
Hearing the news, Wangquan Baoye used his light - body technique all the way and reached Churi Huaizhu's room. When he entered, Xiao Qing was stabbing at Churi Huaizhu's belly with the hairpin. Seeing this, Wangquan Baoye flashed over and grabbed Xiao Qing's arm.
"Hubby!" Churi Huaizhu looked at Wangquan Baoye in surprise. The hairpin in Xiao Qing's hand fell to the ground.
After subduing Xiao Qing, Wangquan Baoye sneered. Then he looked at Churi Huaizhu up and down with a worried look. After seeing that she was unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Tell me, who sent you? Speak quickly!" Wangquan Baoye asked Xiao Qing coldly. Churi Huaizhu stood by silently, with a complex look in her eyes.
Seeing the way the two of them were communicating with their eyes, Xiao Qing despised them in her heart. She didn't answer Wangquan Baoye's question. Instead, she showed a sinister smile. Under their gazes, she struggled to use the blade at the end of her hairpin to end her own life.
After Xiao Qing's self - slaughter, she fell in a pool of blood. The bright red blood stained the entire floor. There was still that evil expression on her face, and her eyes were always fixed on Churi Huaizhu's direction.
Churi Huaizhu saw the deep malice in her eyes. Such a scene was really unbearable. Even an ordinary person would be scared seeing this, not to mention a pregnant woman like her.
"Ugh," Churi Huaizhu turned her back to Xiao Qing, holding onto the wall with one hand and vomiting. Tears streamed down her face. She didn't know if they were out of guilt or fear.
This matter could have been small, but it ended up like this.
Churi Huaizhu vomited beside the wall for a long time. The servants patted her on the back. Seeing this, Wangquan Baoye felt extremely heart - broken. He quickly helped Churi Huaizhu leave this troubled place.
"Clean this up. I don't want to hear any gossips in the manor," Wangquan Baoye said domineeringly and then left with Churi Huaizhu.
In the room, there were only the servants looking at each other in dismay. Seeing the end of their colleague who had rebelled against the Wangquan family, they felt a chill in their hearts and were glad they hadn't opposed the Wangquan family.
"Hurry up! What are you standing there for!" A servant who was hiding in the corner shouted.
"Why don't you come and help? Why are you hiding so far away!" Another servant was angry. That guy was hiding far away but still yelling at others.
