The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 326 - 318: Signs

Lin Youning’s pain was evident on her face, and even though she didn’t need to speak, Nanny Guo had already noticed something was wrong with her.

"Miss, are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Nanny Guo’s tone was noticeably more serious than before.

Lin Youning curled up her body, "My stomach hurts a bit, maybe my period is coming?"

Lately, Lin Youning’s period has been irregular, and even a few days ago, she had some spotting, but it was only a little, not a real period.

Feeling unwell with such stomach pain, Lin Youning could think of nothing else but her period, as she had experienced similar stomach discomfort during her periods before.

Nanny Guo thought otherwise, "Miss, don’t worry. Since you are feeling unwell, lie down and wait for the Imperial Physician to come and check what exactly is going on."

After saying this, Nanny Guo instructed Shanmoi and Hailan to come in, dismissing the young maids in the room, and letting Shanmoi and Hailan check if the miss truly experienced menstrual discomfort.

After the two had checked, they both breathed a sigh of relief and busied themselves with fetching items to help change things.

Nanny Guo also sighed in relief, thankful that it wasn’t the feared situation, but this time, Lin Youning felt her period came fiercely.

In no time, the bedding beneath her was dirtied again, and Lin Youning felt as if blood was constantly flowing, with the cramping pain in her stomach causing cold sweat on her forehead.

Nanny Guo was there tending to her, seeing the miss’s colorless face and pained expression, she sent someone to check if the Imperial Physician has arrived, and fortunately, he came after half an hour.

However, after checking the pulse, the Imperial Physician broke into a sweat, "Madam, this is a sign of miscarriage."

One sentence hit the room like thunder, stunning everyone inside.

Even Lin Youning, lying in pain on the bed, forgot the pain in her abdomen, looking at the Imperial Physician incredulously.

But Shanmoi spoke up, "Didn’t the Imperial Physician say that our Madam just had stomach issues? Why now is it a sign of miscarriage? The Imperial Physician must clarify now, as our Madam has always been under your care, even the blood-warming and blood-invigorating medicines were prescribed by you. If anything happens to our Madam or the little Young Master, even the Marquis won’t spare the Imperial Physician."

If it weren’t for the Imperial Physician’s status, Shanmoi was itching to tear this person apart.

The Imperial Physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and knelt down, "Madam, see clearly, the Marquis knew about this, it’s not my fault. I was also following his orders, continuing to hide it from Madam."

Shanmoi was stunned, "You... you are lying. The Marquis has always cherished Madam; how could he do such a thing?"

The Imperial Physician remained silent, kneeling on the ground.

Nanny Guo spoke up, "Hailan, escort the Imperial Physician out and find another doctor to prescribe medication for fetal stability."

Hailan understood that if things continued like this, the one who couldn’t lift their head would only be the miss. The Imperial Physician also sensibly got up and followed Hailan out.

"Miss." Shanmoi looked at the girl on the bed, at a loss for what to do at that moment.

Lin Youning smiled faintly, "I’m fine."

No sooner had she tried to pull back her smile than tears started to fall.

Lin Youning knew that her elder brother cared about her and even understood that he must have had a reason for doing this, but she couldn’t help wanting to cry.

Shanmoi also cried, comforting her on the side. Over the years, Nanny Guo had regarded the miss as her granddaughter, and at this moment, how could her heart not ache? Yet she also understood what the miss was truly grieving over.

"Miss, you must stay strong. Emotional fluctuations now may disturb the fetus. For the sake of the Young Master in your womb, you must remain calm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Youning’s crying became even louder, "What good is calmness? Elder brother knew full well that I was pregnant, yet he still had the Imperial Physician prescribe blood-invigorating medicine. Nanny should understand what he intends. I only hate myself for being too foolish, for having realized it yet still not paying attention."

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have come to this point, with bleeding starting before realizing.

"Miss, it’s okay. You’ve been saying that those medicines weren’t effective for some time and have already stopped them. Just now, the Imperial Physician said it’s merely signs of miscarriage. As long as you take the fetal-stabilizing medicine, everything will be fine," Shanmoi resented how the Marquis could do this to the miss.

Lin Youning took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears off her face, "You’re right, how can I cry at a time like this? Much less give up. This is my child, and unless I consent, no one can take him away."

A determined look appeared on Lin Youning’s face, "I am also afraid the doctors brought in from outside might have been instructed. Once the prescription is made, Nanny must take the trouble to help me check it out."

Nanny Guo had a tense expression, "Rest assured, miss, I am not bragging. Having been in the palace for many years, I can tell a fetal-stabilizing prescription apart. I’ll have someone get the medicine now, after I’ve checked it, I’ll personally brew it."

"Should we not call the doctors, then?" Hailan walked in from the dining area.

A ruthless intention flashed across Lin Youning’s face, "Call them, how could we not? I want to see whether they’ve all been instructed. If one of them prescribes the wrong medicine, we will send them directly to the government. Healers are like parents; if there’s such a vicious heart, there’s no need for them to be a doctor."

It was the first time Lin Youning had spoken such harsh words, and instead of finding her cruel, Shanmoi and Hailan felt the miss was finally becoming strong.

Satisfaction flashed in Nanny Guo’s eyes. This is how the miss should be, handling matters in this manner rather than whining like others indoors.

"Nanny, this matter still needs you to manage, don’t let it spread out," Lin Youning instructed, "As for the Master, have someone stop him at the entrance and just tell him to go directly to the Old Madam."

"Rest assured, miss, I’ll arrange it now," Nanny Guo left.

Only the three master-servants remained in the room.

Shanmoi gritted her teeth, "Miss, can Nanny Guo, being the Marquis’s person, be trusted?"

"Don’t worry, Nanny isn’t that kind of person," Lin Youning affirmed.

Shanmoi and Hailan nodded, though Shanmoi looked visibly troubled, "How could the Marquis treat the miss this way? Mrs. Dong is pregnant, so what’s the harm if the miss is also expecting? After all, the baby is also the Marquis’s flesh and blood. Should I go to the Old Madam? She’s always been hoping for you to have offspring."

Lin Youning shook her head and gazed into the distance, "There’s no need; the East Mansion is the East Mansion, and it’s not good to always trouble others with these matters." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Hailan stopped Shanmoi from speaking further, "Miss is right, right now what’s important is to first nurse yourself back to health. With the miss’s capabilities, I believe nothing can be too difficult for her."

"That’s right, we’ll tackle things one at a time, and they will be resolved," Lin Youning remarked with a cold smile.
