Chapter 236 - Compensate Her with a Child 2

The stone fetus in Lady Yin’s stomach had been resolved. For the next few days, they would observe Lady Yin’s health. When she recovered and could eat, sleep, and walk, they would be able to leave.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay, Master. I’ll go back and sleep for a while.”

She was very focused on opening Madam Yin’s abdomen. She was tired.

Old Wu waved his hand. “Go, go. It doesn’t matter if you sleep more. You don’t need to go there now.”

Su Xiaolu thought that Yin Changshun was accompanying Madam Yin, be it guilt or anything else. He was accompanying Madam Yin now and guarding her.

Su Xiaolu went back to her room to sleep.

Old Wu smiled and kept the receipt.

Inside the main courtyard.

Yin Changshun had been sitting beside Madam Yin and guarding her.

Looking at the pale and weak Madam Yin, Yin Changshun felt a deep sense of guilt.

Madam Yin woke up not long after she fell asleep. Seeing the guilt in Yin Changshun’s eyes, she said weakly, “Has Master been accompanying me?”

“Madame, would you like a look at the child?”

The four-year-old child was finally born. He was a boy and had passed away. He was black and stiff. He was much older than a normal baby.

Yin Changshun took a look and his heart ached. If not for Madam Tang’s evil deeds, this child would have been born healthy and would be three years old.

Madam Yin nodded. Naturally, she had to take a look.

Yin Changshun went to fetch the child.

Pulling open the swaddling clothes that wrapped him, Madam Yin looked at the child, her eyes filled with tears. She choked and said, “Master, let him go cleanly. When I recover, I’ll set up a longevity tablet for him and Yan’er at home and bless them. I hope they’ll be born into a good family in the next life.”

Yin Changshun nodded.

This child had to be buried properly.

On this day, Yin Changshun accompanied Madam Yin.

At night, a servant came to report that Madam Tang refused to eat.

Yin Changshun frowned. Before he could speak, Madam Yin spoke first.

Madam Yin said coldly, “If she doesn’t eat it, just force it down her throat. If she vomits, just continue to force it down her throat. Whether she eats it or not is up to her.”

The existence of Madam Tang was already only for the sake of the son in her womb. As for what happened to Madam Tang, it was not important at all.

No matter how much Yin Changshun had feelings for Madam Tang, he did not have them at this time. Now, he only felt guilty towards Madam Yin.

Madam Yin could see it clearly in her heart. She saw through it but did not say anything.

There were so many women in the world.

Madam Tang was going to pay for everything she had done.

The next day, Su Xiaolu came to see Madam Yin. She pricked Madam Yin with silver needles and asked the maidservant to help her get out of bed.

At noon, Madam Yin started eating Su Xiaolu’s medicinal cuisine.

Madam Yin had been recuperating for the next few days. The wound had already scabbed over and healed. She just needed to recuperate well.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, Madam Yin no longer had any problems. Su Xiaolu took Madam Yin’s pulse and performed acupuncture as usual. After putting away the needles, Su Xiaolu said to Madam Yin, “Madam, your body is already in good condition. Master and I will leave in a while. Madam, you can continue to eat the prescription I prescribed for a month to strengthen your health.”

Madam Yin looked worried. She frowned and said, “Miss Su, I think my wound still hurts a little. Can you stay for another day?”

Yin Yuyao also said, “Miss Su, my mother suffered a major abdominal injury. Stay for another day.”

Su Xiaolu pondered for a moment and said, “Then I’ll ask Master.”

Opening the abdomen was indeed a serious injury. It was normal for Madam Yin to be worried.

Seeing Su Xiaolu relent, Madam Yin and Yin Yuyao looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Xiaolu closed the medical kit and returned to the courtyard.

Old Wu had agreed to stay for one more day. It was just a matter of one night. There was no impact.

The maid relayed the message back to the main courtyard.

Madam Yin and Yin Yuyao both heaved a sigh of relief.

Yin Yuyao said, “Why isn’t Cousin Huilan here yet? If she missed the divine doctor, who knows how long we’ll have to wait?”

Madam Yin also looked worried. She sighed and said, “If she really can’t make it, there’s nothing we can do. Everything depends on fate.”

The letter had already been brought over. Whether Wang Huilan came or not was up to fate.

Just like herself, the certain dead end turned into life. All of this had fate involved.

“Yaoyao, you can leave. I’m tired.”

Madame Yin waved her hand.

Yin Yuyao nodded and stood up to leave.

Looking at her much more mature daughter, Madam Yin sighed. As a woman, there were too many things she could not do.

Over the past few days, she had naturally told Yin Yuyao these things. These truths were very cruel, but they could also allow Yin Yuyao to grow quickly.

Keeping Madam Tang’s child was the right choice.

She could not give birth anymore. Yin Changshun could not let his son become a concubine’s son.

It was impossible for other concubines to die foolishly.

Thinking of Madam Tang, Madam Yin got up and went to see her.

Madam Tang was already in a sorry state without a maidservant to clean her up.

Because she liked to resist, Madam Yin especially found a doctor to prescribe some medicine for her to eat and settle down. She didn’t have the strength to make a scene and didn’t hurt the child.

Madam Yin stood calmly in front of Madam Tang. She reached out and gently placed her hand on Tang’s stomach. Feeling the child’s energetic fetal movements, Madam Yin smiled. “He must be very healthy.”

Madam Tang glared at Madam Yin angrily. She was going crazy. She couldn’t speak or move her limbs.

If she refused to eat, the maidservant would force it down her throat. She was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

In just a few days, she and Madam Yin’s roles have reversed.

Madam Yin recovered. Her huge belly disappeared, and her body slowly regained its vitality.

Madam Yin looked at the hateful Madam Tang and said with a smile, “Take good care of my child. He will be born in four months.”

“Uh-uh …”

Madam Tang’s face turned red and only uttered a few strange noises.

Madam Yin’s expression turned cold. She got up and left.

Madam Tang was like a pig or dog without grooming. Even if Yin Changshun saw her, he would not have any pity.

She was only waiting for Madam Tang to give birth before asking her to pay with her life for her two dead children.

Madam Tang looked at Madam Yin’s back with a ferocious expression. Her face was red, but she could not speak. She wanted to beat her stomach, but her limbs were weak. She could not do it at all. It was even more impossible for her to starve herself to death. The child in her stomach had a tenacious life force. Every moment was torture to her.

…

Su Xiaolu and Old Wu stayed an extra night. On the 23rd of January, Su Xiaolu and Old Wu packed their things.

Su Xiaolu went to see Madam Yin. After injecting her with needles, she said, “Madam, there’s no problem. Just rest well. Master and I will go home today.”

Madam Yin could not keep them any longer, so she nodded. She had prepared two hundred taels of silver as payment.
