Chapter 447 Seeing Red
Zhou's mother was startled: "Sir, what are you...?"
"That child is not mine." Pei Ziheng closed his eyes slightly. As a man, it hurts his self-esteem to admit this in front of the servants at home, not to mention he is such a proud man.
Zhou's mother didn't expect that things would turn out like this, and she was stunned for a moment: "Is there something wrong? Miss Ye doesn't look like that kind of person." Miss Ye looked quiet and simple, not like the kind of person who had a chaotic private life. , a woman who has unclear relationships with many people, Zhou’s mother has always felt that she is a good match for her husband.
How could she be pregnant with another child and frame it on her husband?
Zhou Ma was surprised and angry.
How could Miss Ye hurt Mr. Ye like this? The husband is obviously so kind to her, how can she bear it? !
Pei Ziheng said: "Don't let Miss Ye find out."
Zhou Ma was stunned for a moment and realized that her husband was talking about the medicine in her hand. Her face turned pale. She was just a servant and had never done such a thing. What was the difference between mixing abortion pills into the diet of pregnant women and murder? But...she knew very well that she could not disobey her husband's orders.
My husband wanted a child more than anyone else. When he learned that Miss Ye was pregnant, his happiness was not just a pretense. Since he said that the child was not his, he must have investigated clearly and there would be absolutely no mistakes.
Zhou Ma's hands were trembling slightly, and she felt that the package of medicine was heavier than a thousand pounds. Holding it in her hand made her heart feel heavy. Do you really want to secretly abort Miss Ye's child like this? It can be seen that Ms. Ye really likes the baby in her belly. If she has an abortion, she will be very sad.
Zhou Ma watched her husband walk out of the kitchen step by step, stood at the top of the stairs, and stretched out his hand.
At the top of the stairs, Ms. Ye walked down slowly and was gently supported by her husband.
Ms. Ye woke up from a nap around midday, and her expression was still a little worried and lazy. But even so, she still instinctively protected her lower abdomen with one hand, her posture was elegant and calm. If an unsuspecting person saw her, they would probably think that she was enviably happy. Mr. Wearing a light gray plaid shirt, he looks very homely. He looks gentle, elegant and personable. He thoughtfully supports Ms. Ye's arm and leads her to the restaurant to sit down.
If it weren't for the medicine bag in her hand, Zhou's mother would have doubted whether the tender-hearted man in the restaurant was the same man who coldly ordered her to give Miss Ye the abortion pill a few minutes ago.
Pity.
Looking at the beautiful couple under the warm yellow light, Zhou's mother thought with regret, if she wanted to blame, maybe she could only blame Miss Ye herself. Since she was already with her husband, how could she be pregnant with someone else's child?
She lowered her head and carefully opened the packet of medicine.
Xia Ling chatted with Pei Ziheng in the restaurant, and not long after, dinner was ready.
Mother Zhou brought a bowl of fragrant chicken soup to Xia Ling and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, this is the old hen soup I made specially for you. Drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Xia Ling thanked her with a smile and brought the chicken soup over.
It should be a good old hen, with a mellow aroma and golden oil floating on the soup surface. Xia Ling's taste has changed a lot since she was pregnant. She started to like chicken, so she lowered her head and got closer to the soup. She was about to drink it, but for some reason, she suddenly pushed the bowl away. "The smell is a bit unpleasant," she said, "Forget it, I won't drink it."
Pei Ziheng raised his head and glanced at Zhou's mother from an angle that Xia Ling couldn't see.
Zhou Ma nodded gently towards him.
So Pei Ziheng knew that this bowl of soup was spiked with medicine. He advised Xia Ling in a gentle voice: "Isn't the morning sickness a lot better these days? Don't waste what Zhou Mom has worked so hard for."
"It's not morning sickness..." Xia Ling couldn't describe the feeling. For some reason, she just didn't want to drink that bowl of soup. It was really strange.
Pei Ziheng calmly persuaded again: "Isn't it morning sickness? Even if you don't like it, just drink the medicine. The baby in your belly is growing. You, a mother, can't be picky about food."
Xia Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded. Pei Ziheng was right, she couldn't be picky about food. What if the baby's nutrition couldn't keep up? She took the bowl of chicken soup, resisted her rejection, and drank it one mouthful at a time.
Pei Ziheng and Zhou's mother both watched her drink the soup. It wasn't until she drank the entire bowl of chicken soup that not a drop was left. Pei Ziheng smiled slightly and gently and considerately gave her other dishes to eat.
Xia Ling was a little full after eating this meal.
When sleeping at night, I always feel a little uneasy and toss and turn.
When she woke up early the next morning, Pei Ziheng was no longer there. Xia Ling got up groggily and entered the bathroom. She suddenly discovered that there were slight blood stains on her underwear.
She was frightened and hurried to find Zhou’s mother: “Zhou’s mother, Zhou’s mother, I’ve seen red, what should I do?!”
Zhou Ma's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the bowl of chicken soup last night had worked. She took a deep breath and mentally constructed herself for several seconds before turning back to look at Xia Ling: "Seeing red? Miss Ye, don't worry, please tell me the details."
So, Xia Ling, who had no master, described it to her in detail.
Zhou Ma stretched out her cracked and rough hand like old tree bark, took Xia Ling's hand, and smiled fakely: "Hey, Miss Ye, I don't think it's a big deal. Isn't it just a little bit red? Don’t worry, this is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy, it happens to many pregnant women, and it’s nothing to worry about.”
Xia Ling was still uneasy: "But, it never happened before."
"I guess you've been feeling heavy lately, and you went out to catch up on the announcements, so you're tired," Zhou's mother comforted her, "Come and sit down quickly. I'm making corn soup and vegetable porridge for you for breakfast. Eat more and stay healthy." Body."
Xia Ling was pulled to the restaurant and sat down by her. She drank porridge absently and asked about seeing Hong, "Should I go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"It's okay to go," Zhou's mother said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. Just tell the doctor when you go for a pregnancy test next time."
"Don't you have to go all the way?"
"How much blood, hey," Zhou Ma laughed, "Believe me, Miss Ye, I have given birth to so many children, and I have served more than one pregnant woman. Such a small thing is only possible for a first-time pregnant woman like you. Only with experience can you worry. When you give birth to your second child, you will realize how unnecessary these worries are now."
Xia Ling was dubious about what she said, so she didn't persist.
After breakfast, she went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.
I don’t know why this time, but I slept even more uneasily. I had a vague nightmare. In the dream, there was an endless sea of blood, and there was a little baby crying in the sea of blood.
She woke up with a start and was covered in sweat.
Lowering his head, he found that he was red again, this time bleeding more, and a piece as big as his thumb was rubbed out on the sheets.
