My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1044 - 1015: You Have Committed the Sin of Killing Your Own Child!

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1015: You Have Committed the Sin of Killing Your Own Child!

Qin Liuxi was invited by General Zheng this time to treat his deceased wife’s family, Mo Family’s Heir’s wife, for a prolonged period of unexplained infertility after a miscarriage.

"The couple has been married for eight years, and since the miscarriage four years ago, there hasn’t been any good news. Many Imperial Physicians and doctors have looked into it and all say there’s no problem with the couple’s health, yet there hasn’t been any good news." General Zheng said regretfully, "If it wasn’t for the child’s poor fortune back then, there would already be a legitimate eldest grandson."

Qin Liuxi smiled faintly and said, "If there’s no problem, then it could just be that the time hasn’t come."

General Zheng replied, "That’s how people say it, but almost a decade of marriage without any directly descended children is somewhat regrettable. The young couple is seeking God and praying for a child everywhere, which is quite pitiful."

Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow, "No directly descended children? Then there must be illegitimate children. The one who is pitiful is only Lady Mo."

General Zheng was a bit embarrassed and said, "Their family also values legitimate and illegitimate status quite a lot."

"If they truly valued it, then without legitimate offspring, there wouldn’t be any illegitimate ones." Qin Liuxi was indifferent.

General Zheng brushed his nose, lifted the curtain to look outside, and said, "We’ve arrived."

Qin Liuxi got off the carriage first, and someone came to greet her. A man around thirty years old, with a face like jade and charming eyes, born to be an amorous type.

She gave him a deep look, noticing there was yin energy entwined around him, which was rather interesting.

"Uncle, you’ve come." Mo Wenpei first greeted General Zheng and helped him down before turning to Qin Liuxi.

General Zheng said, "This is Master Buqiu, who helped solve issues for your cousin back then. Though she is a Xuanmen Taoist, her medical skills are excellent."

Mo Wenpei quickly bowed to Qin Liuxi, saying, "So it’s Master Buqiu. Thank you, Master, for your kindness in finding my cousin, which resolved one of my uncle’s worries."

Qin Liuxi: "It was all due to good karma."

Mo Wenpei led them through, and in the front yard, they met Uncle Zhong Qin, who exchanged pleasantries with General Zheng. Seeing Qin Liuxi was a female crown, he had Mo Wenpei take them through the second door to see his wife for a consultation, while he and General Zheng, being elderly, did not go to see the wife for diagnosis.

Walking beside Mo Wenpei, Qin Liuxi said, "Heir Mo now has sons and daughters, but regarding children, does he ask for them more than his wife?"

Mo Wenpei paused, a bit awkward, and said, "Who would dislike having more children, especially legitimate ones?"

Qin Liuxi did not respond to this, repeating what she once said to General Zheng: if legitimate children were truly valued, there wouldn’t be illegitimate ones.

Soon they arrived at Shuangqi Courtyard, where Mo Wenpei and his wife resided. Though it was cold, having received notice earlier, people were waiting in the hallway.

It was the wife of the Zhongqin Marquis Mansion, Ms. Wen, who looked frail, with dark circles under her eyes and a pale complexion. She was wrapped in a thick cloak, her spirit seemed to be drained by something.

Qin Liuxi squinted her eyes; the yin energy on her was quite heavy.

Teng Zhao also noticed and quietly asked Little Ginseng, "Do you sense anything?"

Little Ginseng said, "Bad energy, very dark. If this woman continues like this, I’m afraid she won’t live long."

"It is yin energy clinging to her," Teng Zhao said calmly.

Mo Wenpei, who was nearby, overheard these words, and looked at them in shock, his expression turning grim.

"Heir." Ms. Wen, supported by a maid, stepped forward and greeted them.

Mo Wenpei took a deep breath and said, "This is Master Buqiu, called by your uncle to diagnose you. Let’s talk inside; it’s cold outside, and you have always been afraid of the cold."

Ms. Wen again bowed to Qin Liuxi, slightly nodded, and smiled, "Thank you for coming all this way, Master. Please come inside."

Qin Liuxi followed them into the house, and upon entering, was greeted with the giggling of a baby. Her eyes focused on the direction of the sound—there was a baby crawling out of the bedroom, pale-faced with red eyes, and devoid of any vitality, only yin energy present.

This was a Ghost Baby.

Teng Zhao and Little Ginseng didn’t even need the Heavenly Eye to see the Ghost Baby cackling and swiftly floating towards Ms. Wen, landing on her chest, its ghastly eyes curiously staring at them.

Little Ginseng: "..." Faster than when I escape!

Teng Zhao’s gaze turned cold, as the copper coins on the copper coin sword behind him began to hum and vibrate.

Mo Wenpei continuously paid attention to them. Upon entering the house, seeing their strange expressions, he looked over too, feeling a chill rise up his spine.

Though the room was lit by a blazing charcoal brazier, a cool feeling rushed up his backbone to the Heaven Spirit, causing a fine layer of sweat to form on his forehead.

The maids dressed in thick garments served tea and exited.

Qin Liuxi took a sip of tea and asked, "The child you lost in the miscarriage was already a formed boy?"

Ms. Wen was momentarily stunned, not expecting Qin Liuxi to be so direct. She placed her teacup down again, showing sorrow, saying, "Yes, when the child was conceived, the fetal position was unstable. I rested in bed for three months to keep it, but the doctor said that my frail body caused the child to be naturally weak. It was hard to save the child, and even if it was saved, it was difficult to carry to full term. Eventually, despite careful fetal care, approaching seven months, the child stopped moving..."

Ms. Wen mentioned her lost son, unable to contain her grief as tears streamed down.

Mo Wenpei beside her picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying, "It’s not your fault; the child’s fortune was poor."

"You are wrong." Qin Liuxi shook her head and said, "It was her fault."

Ms. Wen was startled, What does this mean?

"You decided to abort the child, didn’t you?" Qin Liuxi said.

Ms. Wen said, "Well, the child was dead in the womb, even if I wanted to keep him alive, he couldn’t survive."

Her words were indeed strange; with a dead fetus in the womb, naturally, medication would be used to induce miscarriage. Otherwise, would she carry a dead fetus indefinitely?

Qin Liuxi said calmly, "Are you certain the child was really dead in the womb?"

Ms. Wen’s pupils contracted, What does this mean?

Mo Wenpei was equally shocked, Could there be another truth behind this?

Qin Liuxi looked at them both, sighed, and said, "I don’t know how you determined the child was dead in the womb at that time or which doctor diagnosed it; what scheme was involved in this. But according to the information I obtained, the child was actually still alive, not a stopped fetal movement. You took away his vitality, inducing an early miscarriage. If not for this, he had the chance to open his eyes to this world, able to call you parents. However, you abandoned him, and took his life away! You’ve committed the sin of murdering your child!"

Ms. Wen screamed, her vision went dark, and she fell limply into Mo Wenpei’s arms.
