The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

"Quick! Send the lady back to her room!" Madam Qi anxiously directed the maids, while ordering: "Go get the doctor! Go now!"

The maids hurriedly helped Lin Ruoxue back to her room. Madam Qi watched them leave, then turned around and sternly ordered the servant beside her: "Go and call the young master back! Official business is important, but something like this happened at home, he must come back!"

The servant didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around and ran out quickly.

The old lady looked at all this, her face became uncertain, she slammed her cane on the ground, and said in an unnatural tone, "I didn't let her faint from kneeling. She was in poor health. How can you blame me?"

Madam Qi sneered and was about to speak, but the old lady didn't wait for her to say anything. She turned around and walked out, waving her hand as she walked: "Since something has happened, you guys can handle it. I'm old and can't stand the hardship. Let's stop here today."

The doctor's departure made the house temporarily quiet, but Mrs. Qi's heart could not calm down.

She looked at the sleeping Lin Ruoxue with a frown, showing both joy and worry.

She was delighted that she finally had Qi Zeshen's child, but the words "signs of miscarriage" were like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart.

"Yanhong, Yanran, you two must stay with the Madam at all times." She warned in a solemn tone, with a sharp look, "No one is allowed to disturb her peace. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible."

"Yes, ma'am." The two maids answered in unison, lowering their brows and looking submissive, but they did not dare to relax for a moment.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard, and soon Qi Zeshen strode in.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes fell on Lin Ruoxue lying on the couch, with a mixture of worry and hidden joy.

"Mother, what did the doctor say?" His voice was a little hurried, and his eyes were staring at Madam Qi.

"Ze Shen," Madam Qi stepped forward and lowered her voice, unable to hide the joy on her face, "The doctor said that Ruoxue is pregnant! However, her body is too weak and there are signs of miscarriage. She must rest well and cannot be stimulated in any way."

Hearing this, Qi Zeshen was stunned at first, then a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He walked quickly to the bed, looked down at Lin Ruoxue's face, his eyes as gentle as water.

"She..." His voice was low, but he couldn't hide the joy in it, "She's pregnant?"

Madam Qi nodded and warned, "Ze Shen, I know you are happy, but now is not the time to be excited. You must remember not to let her suffer any more grievances, especially emotional fluctuations, which can easily cause miscarriage."

As he was speaking, Qi Zeshen caught a glimpse of the redness and swelling on Lin Ruoxue's knee. Yanhong was carefully applying medicine to her.

His brows suddenly furrowed, and his voice suddenly became low: "What's going on? How did she get the injury on her knee?"

Yanhong and Yanran looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Young Master, it was the old lady who made the lady kneel in the yard, saying that she was going to teach her a lesson. The lady knelt for a cup of tea before..."

Hearing this, Qi Zeshen's face instantly turned cold. He clenched his fists slightly, and the suppressed anger was about to burst out.

"That's enough." His voice was so cold that it made people shudder. "Take good care of her. I'll go find the old lady."

He turned around and strode away with a resolute step. Madam Qi quickly chased after him and grabbed his arm.

"Ze Shen, you need to calm down!" She said anxiously, with worry in her eyes, "I know you feel sorry for her, but the old lady is your grandmother after all. Don't speak too harshly, so as not to cause unrest in the family."

Qi Zeshen looked back at his mother and said, "Mom, she is my wife and the one I will spend my whole life with. I can tolerate it, but I cannot watch her being bullied, especially when she is pregnant."

Madam Qi looked into his determined eyes, sighed, and let go of his hand: "Go, but remember my words, leave some room for maneuver when you speak."

Qi Zeshen nodded, said nothing more, and walked out.

Outside the old lady's yard, Qi Zeshen walked to the door as usual, but was stopped by the nanny who was guarding there.

The nanny lowered her head and said graciously, "Master, the old lady has a headache and is resting. How about you come back another day?"

Qi Zeshen raised his lips in a smile that seemed like a smile: "Mammy, this won't do. I'm here today to tell grandma the good news. A great good thing can cure all diseases. When grandma sees me, her headache will get better immediately."

The nanny was a little embarrassed. She looked up at him, then lowered her head and said, "But Master, the old lady really shouldn't be disturbed. Right now..."

Before she finished her words, Qi Zeshen had already stepped past her and entered the yard.

He walked towards the main hall with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mammy. I'm just going in to say a few words. I won't disturb your rest time."

The nanny watched him walk away, unable to stop him, and could only sigh helplessly.

In the main hall, the old lady leaned on the couch, holding a jade hand warmer in her hand, looking towards the door with an unfriendly expression.

When she saw Qi Zeshen coming in, her brows furrowed even deeper and she snorted coldly: "Zeshen, what are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you that I haven't been feeling well these past few days and I won't see anyone."

Qi Zeshen bowed calmly and said in a clear voice: "Grandma, I heard that you had a headache, so I came to give you the good news to bring you good luck."

"What good news?" The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't beat around the bush, just say what you want to say."

Qi Ze curled his lips and boasted, "Ruoxue is pregnant, grandma, haven't you always hoped that our eldest branch would have children soon? Now it's as you wish, you are going to be a great-grandmother."

The old lady's face changed slightly, then she regained her composure and said calmly, "Being pregnant is a good thing, but so what? Don't expect that you can turn the world upside down in the Qi family with just one child."

Qi Zeshen still had a smile on his face, but his eyes had become fierce: "Grandma, Ruoxue is pregnant with my own flesh and blood, the next generation of the Qi family. If anything happens to Ruoxue and the child, I will take revenge a thousand times over. No matter who caused the consequences, don't even think about getting away with it."

When the old lady heard this, her eyes darkened, but she did not argue with him directly.

She waved her hand and said meaningfully, "Don't scare me here. I think you are talking to me like this because Ruoxue is pregnant and you don't even want to follow the rules."

Qi Zeshen's smile deepened: "What are rules? They are used to protect the harmony of a family, not to hurt the family. If the rules cannot protect the family, then they are meaningless."
