Chapter 89 Another Crisis Arises

Pan Lianshan was the first to rush out, but she couldn't catch up with Pan Haiyun, who took three steps at a time. Looking at Concubine Li, who was wearing a gray cloak and lying on the ground, he stopped in his tracks and shouted angrily at the frightened maid, "What are you still standing there for? Go and fetch the doctor!"

Qingshan stood by the side. He watched as Pan Haiyun picked up the person horizontally and carried her straight to the main hall. Ignoring the astonished Liu Yingwei, he directly placed the person on the beauty couch behind the screen of Old Madam Pan. Pan Lianshan knelt down in front of Li Rou's couch with a thud, crying mournfully, "Auntie... Auntie, don't scare Lian'er..."

Pan Haiyun had never had much impression of this quiet daughter, but after all, she was his own flesh and blood. Seeing Pan Lianshan crying so miserably, he felt pity in his heart and let out a helpless sigh.

The doctor arrived soon. This doctor, who carried a medicine box, was a doctor recommended by the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion and was called Doctor Lin. His ancestors were imperial doctors, so his medical skills were also excellent. He placed his fingers on Li Rou's wrist to feel her pulse, closed his eyes, and frowned. When he opened his eyes and met Pan Haiyun, who had regained his calm, instead of flattering him because he was the Prime Minister, he lost his temper and said, "This person is almost five months pregnant! How could you let her suffer like this! Do you have too many children in your family? Don't you care about your own bloodline at all?!"

Five months pregnant!! Pan Haiyun looked at Doctor Lin, who was so angry that his beard was fluttering and his eyes were wide open, in a daze. All his previous anger and depression disappeared, and joy welled up in his heart. You know, he had always been looking forward to having a son! This was also the reason why he had acquiesced in Liu Yingwei's return! But he had never expected that Li Rou was also pregnant?

He calculated the time and silently confirmed it. The Old Madam Pan and Liu Yingwei leaned in and heard Doctor Lin's words. Liu Yingwei was stunned and said woodenly, "Are you sure she's pregnant? How is that possible..." Before she could finish her words, she was firmly pinched on the wrist by the Old Madam Pan. Meeting the Old Madam Pan's fierce gaze, she opened her mouth, raised her hand, and touched her own belly, finally remaining silent.

Pan Haiyun was overjoyed but didn't notice Liu Yingwei's words. Pan Yueqing, however, saw everything clearly. She took a half step back and beckoned to Luoshui. She whispered something in Luoshui's ear, and Luoshui nodded in understanding and stepped back.

Pan Haiyun still wanted to ask Doctor Lin whether the pulse indicated a boy or a girl, but Doctor Lin's next words instantly sent him to hell. Doctor Lin stroked his beard and gave Pan Haiyun a look of disdain, "She knelt for too long. She fainted due to a lack of qi and blood. It's already a great blessing that she didn't have a miscarriage! But just because there's no problem now doesn't mean there won't be in the future!"

After hearing these words, Pan Lianshan cried even more pitifully in a low voice. She held Li Rou's hand, "Auntie... Auntie, why were you so silly... Why did you kneel outside..."

Pan Yueqing helped Pan Lianshan up from the ground. Her eyes casually glanced at Liu Yingwei, whose face was as white as a sheet. Through Liu Yingwei, she caught sight of Dongzhu, Li Rou's personal maid, who was kneeling on the outermost side. Her heart stirred, "Silly sister, Concubine Li is your birth mother. You're the flesh that fell from Auntie's body. Auntie naturally was afraid that you would get hurt and came to plead for you..." After saying that, she pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed, and comforted Pan Lianshan, "Don't be afraid. Auntie is a kind person and will surely be blessed. She'll be fine."

"No, it's not like that!" Dongzhu crept forward on her knees, trembling. She grabbed the hem of Pan Lianshan's skirt and cried, smearing the makeup on her face, "Auntie didn't kneel outside voluntarily! Please, Fourth Miss, seek justice for Auntie!" Then she went forward and kowtowed to Pan Haiyun, making a loud thumping sound, "Please, Master, uphold justice for Auntie!!"

Pan Yueqing raised her eyebrows slightly. Pan Lianshan's face darkened a little. Looking at Dongzhu, she almost said in unison with Pan Haiyun, "What did you say?"

"Auntie was originally doing the accounting in the accounting room today and didn't hear anything. But..." Dongzhu raised her eyes and timidly looked behind her, then refused to say anything further. Pan Lianshan roughly guessed what had happened. She raised her eyes and met Liu Yingwei's pale face. She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Speak! If you don't speak, I'll sell you off!"

Dongzhu had never seen Pan Lianshan like this. She crossed her hands on her forehead and bowed to the ground, "It was said that the Old Madam sent someone to invite her. When she reached the gate of Cianxuan Courtyard, Concubine Liu said that Auntie couldn't raise her children well and caused trouble, so she should kneel and reflect on her mistakes... and it was said to be... the Old Madam's intention..."

"Don't slander people with false accusations!" After hearing these words, Liu Yingwei felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in her ears. She pointed at Dongzhu, so angry that she was almost out of breath, and ordered Helu, the maid beside her, "Go and tear this lowly maid's mouth!"

Pan Haiyun didn't give her this chance. He grabbed the arm of Helu, who rolled up her sleeves and was eager to step forward, and pushed her back hard. He raised his eyes and looked at the Old Madam Pan, his tone calm, "Mother, did you ask Li Rou to kneel?"

The son was born and raised by herself. Pan Haiyun in this state was extremely angry. Although the Old Madam Pan didn't want to admit it, if she didn't, then Liu Yingwei would be falsely spreading her intention. I'm afraid that with Pan Haiyun's temper, even if Liu Yingwei was pregnant, he wouldn't tolerate her. This was a child with the blood of both the Pan and Liu families... In that instant, she made up her mind and nodded heavily at Pan Haiyun, "I didn't know she was pregnant at that time. Why didn't she tell us that she was a pregnant woman? It's impossible that she didn't know at all when she was almost five months pregnant! Haiyun! What exactly was she trying to guard against?"

Pan Haiyun sneered and didn't give an evaluation. Liu Yingwei was afraid that Pan Haiyun would be angry, and even more afraid that the mother - son relationship between the Old Madam Pan and Pan Haiyun would become completely estranged. She stepped forward and took Pan Haiyun's hand, "Cousin Yun... My dear Yun, I was wrong. I should have been more careful."

"Of course you were wrong!" Pan Haiyun vented all the emotions that he didn't dare to express towards the Old Madam Pan on Liu Yingwei. Liu Yingwei was so frightened by Pan Haiyun that she took three steps back and fell to her knees on the ground. Pan Haiyun's cold voice was like a judgment, "You can't discipline others well and you still slander others. You act like a tyrant! If something happens to Li Rou..."

He suddenly couldn't continue speaking. He could only turn his head, force a smile at Doctor Lin, who was watching coldly, and reach out to hold Doctor Lin's hand, his tone sincere, "Please, Doctor Lin, take good care of her!"

Pan Yueqing stepped forward and walked in front of Liu Yingwei, taking in her appearance. She bent down and reached out with a smile, "Auntie, don't sit on the ground. You're still pregnant. We can't have Auntie Li in a panic, and then you also collapse. That would be really bad, wouldn't it?"

Liu Yingwei looked at Pan Yueqing's smile that lacked warmth but didn't want to take Pan Yueqing's hand. She propped herself up on the floor and slowly got up with the help of the small door. Looking at Pan Yueqing's smiling face, she was horrified. For a moment, she seemed to see that under those dark and cold eyes, there was full of mockery and hatred!
