The woman was pregnant and had a stomachache that could be severe or mild. Dong Jiafu stepped forward and said to Wan Xiaoniang, "Don't panic. I know a little bit about medicine and can help you feel your pulse."

Wan Xiaoniang turned a deaf ear and just held her stomach and wailed.

"Get out of the way!" The maid in green pushed Dong Jiafu hard. "How dare you feel like checking our young lady's pulse? I think you have bad intentions. If anything happens to my young lady and the baby in my belly, you can expect the Second Master to punish you!"

"Stop talking, my little girl is in great pain. The most important thing is to go back and find a doctor to take a look." Another maid in blue supported little girl Wan with half of her body, her face flushed, not sure if it was because of the heat or the anxiety.

The maid in blue then turned her eyes away from Dong Jiafu, and the two of them walked back, holding Wan Xiaoniang on the left and right.

Before leaving, the maid in green turned back and said, "Don't even think about leaving. I'm following you!"

Dong Jiafu was not sure whether Wan Xiaoniang was really having a miscarriage. As a doctor, she still reminded her, "This place is still some distance from the West Courtyard. Wan Xiaoniang should not move around at this time. You'd better find someone to carry her back."

The maid in blue stopped and said, "She has a point."

The maid in green thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go find someone. You keep an eye on me, and especially don't let this unknown person get close to me."

The maid ran away to look for someone. Wan Xiaoniang cried out "Ouch" and secretly glanced at Dong Jiafu out of the corner of her eye. She thought that Dong Jiafu even knew where the West Courtyard was, so she must have been there before, and might even have met the Young Madam.

Wan Xiaoniang was thinking over and over again, wondering how she could prevent herself from becoming the Second Master's concubine.

"My dear, let me help you lean against the wall and rest for a while."

The maid's words interrupted Wan Xiaoniang's thoughts. She groaned and moved step by step towards the wall with the help of the maid.

Seeing Wan Xiaoniang resting against the wall, Dong Jiafu wanted to tell her who she was so that they wouldn't have to be on guard against her all the time.

"Actually, you don't have to be wary of me. I am..."

"Girl, someone is coming——"

Dong Jiafu's words were interrupted. She didn't expect that the maid in blue would come back so quickly.

The maid in green clothes came over excitedly, and as if to take credit, she said without waiting for anyone to ask, "What a coincidence, not long after I ran out, I ran into someone carrying a sedan chair to send the fifth young lady off, and I immediately called them over."

As soon as he finished speaking, two servants came in carrying a sedan chair.

"Hurry up, my wife is having a miscarriage. If anything happens, none of you can bear the responsibility." The maid in green clothes gave orders in a domineering manner.

The two servants were sweating profusely, but they did not dare to delay at all. They placed the sedan chair next to Wan Xiaoniang, and after the two maids helped her up, they immediately lifted the sedan chair.

The maid in green immediately changed her expression towards Dong Jiafu, "You, follow me. I will settle the score with you after I see the doctor."

It seems that she is not sure if Wan Xiaoniang is okay, so she can't leave. Dong Jiafu doesn't want to take the blame, so she follows behind.

Wan Xiaoniang sat on the sedan chair, holding her stomach and crying in pain all the way back to the courtyard where the second wife lived.

The servant carried the sedan chair directly into the hall. Two maids in the room came over nervously when they saw what was happening.

"What's wrong with you, little girl?"

The maid in green pointed at Dong Jiafu and said, "I don't know where this thing came from, but it bumped into me. Keep an eye on her, don't let her run away!"

Dong Jiafu was surprised to see that a concubine had four maids serving her. She hated being pointed at the most, so she said coldly, "If I wanted to leave, I wouldn't have come here with you. Instead of wasting your energy on me, why don't you ask someone to come and see your master first?"

The four maids stared at Dong Jiafu in a daze. The maid in blue was more steady and said to the three of them, "Help me lie on the bed first. I'll go call the doctor."

Several people acted separately, and Dong Jiafu stood in the hall waiting.

Dong Jiafu observed carefully when Wan Xiaoniang stood up. There was no bleeding in her lower body, so the problem was not serious.

Wan Xiaoniang made quite a noise along the way, and before the doctor arrived, the second wife arrived first.

"Why did she get a miscarriage when she was fine? How did you girls take care of her?!" The Second Madam walked in, cursing, "If anything happens to my grandson, I will never forgive you..."

The second wife was still dressed in jewels and precious stones, but her cursing made her look more like a nouveau riche.

When she saw Dong Jiafu, the second wife paused for a moment in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The three maids in the room heard the noise and hurried out to apologize.

The maid in blue saw the Second Madam pointing the finger at Dong Jiafu, and was so eager to pass the blame that she overlooked the most important point.

"Madam, please spare me. It's all her fault. She suddenly came out and scared me!"

"Second Madam," Dong Jiafu bowed slightly and explained, "I was just about to leave the house and was walking normally on the road. I just ran into Wan Xiaoniang at the intersection and didn't touch her at all. I really don't know why she was frightened."

Dong Jiafu's current status was not something she could scold casually. The Second Madam softened her tone and said, "We'll talk about this later."

Then she frowned and looked at the three maids, "Did you go to ask for the doctor?"

"To reply to Madam, I have already invited her..." The maid in green lowered her head, not understanding why Madam was so polite to the woman. Suddenly she realized that Madam had asked as soon as she entered the room, and it seemed that she knew her.

The maid began to feel uneasy. Who on earth was she?

"Mother..." Second Young Master's wife, Mrs. Bai, rushed over. "My daughter-in-law heard that Miss Wan had a miscarriage. Is it serious?"

Bai's hair bun was a little loose, with two strands of hair on the sides of her face. She must have been taking a nap at noon, and rushed over after hearing the news without having time to do her makeup.

"Is it serious or not? How do I know? I'm not a doctor." The second wife has been worried about the fact that Bai gave birth to a daughter and has not gotten pregnant again.

She was very angry at the moment, and she didn't care that she was in front of Dong Jiafu, an outsider, and the concubine's maid, and she spoke unhappily to Bai, the legitimate daughter-in-law.

Bai Shi couldn't hold back her expression. She looked carefully and saw tears of grievance in her eyes. She whispered, "Mother, don't be angry. It's all because of your poor care..."

The Second Lady ignored her and turned to go to the inner room to see Wan Xiaoniang.

Mrs. Bai was very embarrassed. She looked up and forced a smile at Dong Jiafu, "Miss Dong is here too."

"The Second Young Master's wife." Dong Jiafu nodded slightly, feeling a little sympathetic towards her. She didn't expect that the Second Young Master's wife would not give her any face at all.

When she was still in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, she had met the Second Young Master's wife several times and knew that she was a bit soft-hearted, but she didn't expect her to be so soft. She was about to cry after hearing what the Second Young Master said.

When the maid in green heard Bai call Dong Jiafu, she was terrified. This woman might be from a noble family. She had offended someone.
