Chapter 252: How Cowardly
In order to show his importance and love for Song Muxue, Shen Zhikang has always arranged her to live in his own courtyard. When he heard Qiuyue say that Song Muxue was not feeling well, he also came here with the imperial physician.
The imperial physician looked a little serious when he felt Song Muxue's pulse, which made Shen Zhikang worried: "Imperial Physician Zheng, what's wrong?"
He was really worried that Song Yunxi would do something again.
Doctor Zheng frowned and examined the patient again, then his frown relaxed completely: "My aunt is pregnant."
The room was filled with dead silence.
Because she was injured when she was young and it was determined that she would never get pregnant, she had no scruples when she was making love with Ye Xuanrong, but now she was told that she was pregnant.
She had been feeling nauseous and unable to eat these days, and she was also always weak and sleepy. These were all signs of pregnancy, but because she was diagnosed with a fundamental injury, she didn't think in that direction at all.
Looking back now, even our good days have been gone for several months.
Song Muxue had no time to be happy about her pregnancy as she was overwhelmed by the overwhelming fear.
She had a child with another man, especially since that man was Ye Xuanrong. She didn't know how to explain it to Shen Zhikang.
The color on Song Muxue's face disappeared. Shen Zhikang endured the humiliation in his heart and asked, "Doctor Zheng, is it true?"
"Logically speaking, Auntie's body was invaded by cold and her foundation was damaged, so it should be difficult for her to get pregnant. However, her pulse was slippery, so I thought I made a mistake and did it again. Now I can confirm that she is indeed three months pregnant."
Doctor Zheng smiled widely, "Congratulations, Prince."
Congratulations?
Haha, he doesn’t even know who the father of his child is, why should he be happy?
Seeing that Shen Zhikang's face was gloomy, Doctor Zheng did not dare to stay any longer. After telling Song Muxue some precautions, he hurriedly said goodbye.
After leaving the Anning Marquis's Mansion and returning to the carriage, the approachable smile on Doctor Zheng's face disappeared, and he ordered the attendant in the carriage: "Go tell the prince that everything has been done as ordered."
No one would know that Doctor Zheng, who always kept to himself, had been Ye Xuanqi's man for a long time.
He also anticipated that Shen Zhikang would not invite Tang Yuanzheng, so he handed the matter over to Doctor Zheng.
After Doctor Zheng left, Shen Zhikang said gloomily: "Get out!"
Qiuyue and the other maids were stunned for a moment before Shen Zhikang swept all the cups on the table to the ground and shouted angrily, "Get out!"
Everyone was frightened by his sinister expression. They were afraid of being affected and did not dare to stay any longer, so they all retreated.
Not long after, Qiuyue heard Song Muxue's crying and painful pleading from the room.
Qiuyue just felt comfortable all over. The pain she had experienced was something that a self-important and arrogant young lady like Song Muxue should also experience.
Shen Zhikang punched and kicked Song Muxue until she passed out, then he left in anger.
When Qiuyue went in and saw that Song Muxue was beyond recognition, she felt even more relieved, but she did not forget to remember Song Yunxi's instructions to save the child, and immediately fed Song Muxue a pill.
Shen Zhikang was angry and didn't expect an uninvited guest to come at this time.
"Young lady, what brings you here?"
Song Yunxi was in a rare good mood as she looked at Shen Zhikang. The interested and unscrupulous look in her eyes made Shen Zhikang feel a little uncomfortable.
"What do you mean, Miss?"
Song Yunxi smiled meaningfully: "I see that the prince has a green aura on his head. This is a sign that he will be cuckolded. I advise the prince to pay more attention to the inner house, otherwise he will not even know when he will become a father and become a great enemy."
Shen Zhikang's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "What did you know?"
"What can I know?"
Song Yunxi shrugged nonchalantly: "I just learned some basic knowledge of stargazing and fortune-telling from my father since I was a child."
After a pause, he said calmly: "I just said it casually based on what I saw. If you don't believe it, just treat it as a joke and don't take it to heart."
This time, Shen Zhikang did not doubt Song Yunxi. After all, he knew Song Wentian's ability in divination and observing the celestial phenomena, so it was reasonable for Song Yunxi to learn some basic knowledge.
He didn't know what happened, but after Song Yunxi's commotion, the anger and hatred in his heart disappeared, and his mood returned to calm.
"The eldest lady has come specially to my house, could it be that she is here to read my face?"
"Of course not!"
Song Yunxi took out the debt written in his blood and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course I'm here to collect the debt."
Seeing this blood debt letter, Shen Zhikang's humiliation emerged again.
That day in the palace, Song Yunxi said, "Words are useless. What if you deny it after you leave the palace?"
So, smilingly, he tore off his robe, cut his fingers and forced him to write the debt.
Song Yunxi smiled harmlessly: "Your Highness, you won't deny it, right?"
Shen Zhikang took a deep breath and adjusted his mood: "My eldest lady also knows the situation of the An Ning Marquis's Mansion. It will take me some time to raise such a large amount of gold and silver."
"Right."
Song Yunxi put away the debt letter and said, "Your Highness, you should give me a deadline. I can't wait indefinitely, right?"
Shen Zhikang pondered for a moment, and finally answered her: "Two months, I will definitely raise enough for you in two months."
Song Yunxi did not embarrass her any further: "Then I will wait for two months."
Looking at Song Yunxi's back as she left, so unrestrained and yet free and unworldly, Shen Zhikang was stunned for a moment.
If he had not broken off the engagement because he despised her country background and her crippled legs, which made her not valued by the Song family, they might have been married by now, and she would have become his prince consort!
But there are no ifs in life, and no earlier knowledge.
He chose the so-called girl of destiny, Song Muxue, but what did he get?
The Shen family's title was downgraded again and again, the wealth accumulated by generations was gone in an instant, and his health was even more inhumane.
Now he doesn't even know when she cheated on him, or whose child she is pregnant with!
How pathetic!
Shen Zhikang couldn't help but start to doubt, is Song Muxue really the girl of luck?
On the way back to the Imperial Master's Mansion, Song Yunxi seemed to be thinking about something with a focused expression.
Ye Xuanqi asked her: "Is there something you can't figure out?"
Song Yunxi then remembered that there was another person in the car, and asked in confusion: "You should be very busy reorganizing the cabinet, why did you come to me again?"
Isn’t it because I miss you?
But Ye Xuanqi could not say this out loud, so he could only say: "I heard from my second cousin that you came to the An Ning Marquis's residence to collect the debt, and I was worried that they would harm you, so I followed to see."
"There is no disadvantage, but the confusion is puzzling to me."
Song Yunxi asked Ye Xuanqi: "Is there any special day in two months?"
