Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Chapter 1774: Chapter 1774: Truly Worthy of His Shoushou!

Wu Lingxi looked at Emperor Hao as if he were looking at a demon.

However, Emperor Hao did not look at Wu Lingxi, but turned his gaze to Xue Bai, and smiled, “So, Xue Bai, if the child is not born, but miscarried, you know what that means, right?”

“Brilliant!” Xue Shi immediately felt refreshed. Worthy of his Shoushou! Usually too lazy to speak or act, but once he takes a stand, look! Just look!

Even if Xue Bai was slow to understand, he grasped Emperor Hao’s intention and nodded, “I will have someone take good care of her, and if the child is miscarried before birth, then you can do as you please with her.”

Wu Lingxi’s face turned a bit pale.

Only then did Emperor Hao glance at Wu Lingxi and smiled, “Xue Bai, her complexion doesn’t look good. Take her to Shen Medical Centre quickly; it wouldn’t be good if she miscarried.”

...

“Mhm.” Xue Bai nodded, had a carriage brought over, and then took Wu Lingxi to Shen Medical Centre to be examined by Shen Yuxuan.

Even a godly doctor couldn’t determine the exact day she conceived, so Wu Lingxi was not afraid, but thinking about her future, she felt completely numb. What should she do?

From Xue Bai’s attitude just now, it seemed that even a good man, when bullied too severely, would get angry. If the child were really miscarried before birth, even a good man like Xue Bai would no longer care for her.

Otherwise, Xue Bai would not have made those remarks just now.

Wu Lingxi felt even more anxious and uneasy.

Xue Shi and Emperor Hao went together.

Shen Yuxuan happened to be at the medical centre, and they told him everything, asking him to personally take Wu Lingxi’s pulse.

Indeed, Shen Yuxuan’s medical skills were extraordinary, but due to the limitations of the era, he could only confirm that she was nearly two months pregnant and couldn’t determine the specific conception date.

“How is her physical condition, is she likely to miscarry easily?” Xue Shi asked.

Shen Yuxuan knew what he meant and smiled, “Even though she looks weak now, her physical foundation is actually quite strong. With proper care, it’s hard for her to miscarry.”

Xue Shi smiled and said, “That’s good to hear.” Then, turning to Xue Bai, he smiled, “Xue Bai, later arrange for those who will definitely not harm her or cause a miscarriage to protect and serve her. If the child can still be miscarried after that, heh heh…” He laughed lightly.

Wu Lingxi’s scalp tingled.

Xue Bai settled Wu Lingxi in the smallest of their family’s houses in town. Although it was the smallest amongst several houses, it still had three courtyards, just not considered large relative to his other houses.

Xue Bai indeed assigned some trustworthy people who would not harm the pregnancy and could take good care of and protect Wu Lingxi in that house.

It was said to be care and protection, but it was also keeping watch over her.

Wu Lingxi wanted to refuse, but now was not a good time to do so. Once she spoke up, wouldn’t that make Xue Bai even more suspicious of her?

After not staying in the house for long, Xue Bai went with Xue Shi and Emperor Hao to another one of their family’s houses in town. There, they were holding Wu Changcai, Wu Changcai’s family, and Wu Lingxi’s own family members.

Even her younger brother who was working off debts at the gambling house was brought in.

After thorough interrogation, it turned out exactly as Wu Changcai had said. Even if the family members of Wu Changcai and Wu Lingxi were somewhat defiant country folks, they had never seen such distinguished persons or such dazzling and exceedingly sharp long knives before, and all confessed faster than one could blink.

Especially Wu Lingxi’s younger brother, who harbored resentment toward Wu Lingxi for not giving him money, leading to his finger being chopped off. He hated Wu Lingxi deeply, so whatever he knew, he immediately disclosed.
