The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 501 Finale ()

After drinking the medicine, Jiang Wantang narrowed his eyes and his little face wrinkled.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Wuyuan squatting in front of her, holding a piece of sour apricot preserves wrapped in oil paper.

Looking at the man in front of her with half of his face covered in an iron mask, Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment. The indescribable familiarity made her heart ache.

Why did she think of Ji Wuyuan the moment she saw him?

The two people are clearly not alike in appearance, voice, aura... they are even worlds apart.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the man reminded her: "Madam..."

"People in the building said that my wife likes sour food, so I just bought this for her on the street."

His voice is rough and he looks taciturn.

Seeing that Jiang Wantang was still looking at him, the man scratched his head embarrassedly.

Jiang Wantang's aching heart gradually sank.

Not him...

It couldn't be him.

Knowing that the noble man would never appear in this remote town...

I've tried not to think about him...

But why does this heart, which has long been silent and numb, still ache when I think of him?

Jiang Wantang didn't say anything. He raised his hand, picked up a candied apricot, and put it in his mouth. The sour and astringent taste spread across his tongue...

Her eyes gradually turned red.

Ji Wuyuan saw her red eyes, his heart tightened, and he asked nervously, "What's wrong, my lady?"

"But what's wrong with this sour apricot?"

Jiang Wantang regained his composure and said calmly, "It's okay, it's just... too sour..."

After saying that, he stood up and walked into the house alone.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her lonely back as she left, and a look of heartache flashed across his eyes.

He wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cui'er, a little maid beside him.

She said, "The girl wants to be alone, so don't bother her."

Ji Wuyuan turned around and looked at Cui'er in confusion, pretending to be panicked and asked, "Did I do something wrong to make my wife angry?"

Cui Er shook her head and said, "You just arrived and don't understand our girl's temperament yet."

"The girl is generous and kind, and treats everyone well. She is not someone who gets angry easily."

"Then why did you look unhappy just now?" Ji Wuyuan asked.

Cui Er sighed and said, "Forget it. You're always with the girl, so it's better to know it sooner."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice a bit: "You don't know, although our girl looks young and beautiful, and she is a single woman, she is actually married and has a husband."

Ji Wuyuan's pupils trembled, and he asked calmly, "Who is your husband?"

Cui Er said, "I don't know about this...but our girl is from the capital, so I think she must be some high-ranking official in the capital."

Ji Wuyuan frowned and asked again, "Why haven't I heard her mention it?"

Cui Er was immediately furious when she heard this. She said angrily, "Why are you mentioning this? He must be a heartless man who broke our girl's heart."

"It also caused our young girl to leave home alone while pregnant."

"The girl was unhappy just now. I'm afraid she was thinking about that heartless man again..."

After saying that, Cui Er did not forget to remind her again and again: "Remember, don't ever mention this matter in front of the girl in the future, or she will be unhappy!"

Ji Wuyuan clenched his hands, his throat was blocked, and he said softly, "Okay."

Then he asked again: "My wife, is she...is she often like this?"

Cui Er glanced towards the house and sighed softly, "Yes!"

"The girl often sat alone in a daze, sometimes standing by the window gazing into the distance, sometimes standing in the yard at night looking up at the sky, with a depressed look..."

"It takes a long time to stand here."

Ji Wuyuan's eyes darkened, but Cui'er was unaware and continued talking to herself.

"The girl must still be thinking about that unfeeling man, that's why she is always so sad..."

"I wonder what kind of man is this? How could he be willing to let down a woman as beautiful and charming as our daughter?"

"You are truly blind and so ungrateful!"

"..."

Cui'er couldn't help but complain in her heart, not knowing that the "blind" man she was talking about was standing in front of her.

Ji Wuyuan's hands unconsciously clenched tightly, his eyes filled with deep understanding.

However, at this moment, he had no time to care about what Cui'er was scolding. All he could think about was the sentence 'The girl must still be thinking about that unfeeling man, that's why she is always so sad'.

So, is it really because of him?

Will Tang'er miss him too?

But it was obvious that she was the one who didn't want her own first.

Ji Wuyuan lowered his eyebrows to hide the dark color surging in his eyes.

He stood quietly in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking, and never spoke again.

Along with the blowing of the spring breeze, the copper bells under the eaves rang "ding-ling...", but amidst the ding-ling sounds, a suppressed retching sound could be faintly heard from inside the house.

Although the sound was very soft, Ji Wuyuan still noticed it at the first moment.

His face changed drastically and he hurriedly asked Cui'er to go find a doctor, then strode into the house.

As soon as he reached the door, Jiang Wantang stopped him sternly.

"go out!"

After saying that, she held onto the edge of the table and began to retch uncomfortably.

Ji Wuyuan had no choice but to stop and stand at the door, his hands clenched so tightly that they were shaking.

Only then did he realize how difficult and painful it was for a woman to conceive.

Jiang Wantang's face was pale and her eyes were red. She vomited out the entire bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine she had just drunk.

Ji Wuyuan saw it all and felt pain in his heart, but he could do nothing.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the yard, and Cui'er led Su Niang, the owner of the clinic, hurried over.

Madam Su's expression changed when she saw Jiang Wantang's appearance. She took two steps at a time and stepped forward. She took out a package of herbs from the medicine box and handed it to Ji Wuyuan, saying, "Hurry up, boil this medicine first!"

When Ji Wuyuan took the medicine, he found that his hands were shaking.

He didn't stop and turned around to boil the medicine.

After a long while, the vomiting sounds in the room stopped.

Ji Wuyuan knew that Su Niang asked him to boil the medicine, not knowing whether it was because it was necessary or because he was a stranger and it was inconvenient for him to be present.

He stood in the yard, listening to the conversation between several people in the house.

Madam Su frowned, "Madam, you've had morning sickness for over a month now, and it's not only not getting better, it's getting more frequent."

"It's only been three months, and she's already suffering more than an average person. Who knows how much more suffering she'll have to endure when she gives birth?"

"Besides, the longer you're pregnant, the more your baby looks different from other pregnancies, and there aren't any outstanding doctors in our town..."

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but there may be risks with this pregnancy. Are you really not considering..."

"I understand Su Niang's intentions." Jiang Wantang interrupted Su Niang, raised his hand and gently stroked his slightly protruding belly, saying firmly, "But no matter what, I will not give up this child."

Seeing that she was determined to keep the child, Su Niang didn't say anything more. She just said, "Don't worry, my lady. I have asked someone to go to the nearby town to find a doctor with good medical skills..."

Afterwards, the two talked about some trivial matters in the clinic.

Ji Wuyuan, who was decocting medicine in the backyard, was in a state of confusion and anxiety.
