That was because she was kind-hearted and wouldn't let those who helped her be implicated.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. That won't happen." Even as Mo Qian'er said the words, her heart was in a mess; should she still call Mr. Xiao over?
But if she didn't, she would be controlled by the slave mark forever.
She didn't want to live like a slave; otherwise, her own child wouldn't be able to hold his head high in the future because of such a lowly mother.
After Lu Fenying left, Mo Qian'er lay in bed and wondered if she should send someone to invite Mr. Xiao over.
It was almost midnight.
Xiao Xiao hadn't slept at all. He was reading a medical book on the couch and waiting for Mo Qian'er's summon, but even after one candle burned down to nothing, no one came.
Had she given up?
Mo Qian'er thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and decided to give up. She couldn't implicate Mr. Xiao.
If he was targeted by Lu Fenying, his future would be miserable, even if he could escape this time.
She couldn't hurt him because of her selfishness.
Mo Qian'er made up her mind to go to sleep, but at that moment, her stomach hurt. At first, it was a twinge, but it was soon followed by a sharp pain that made her sweat.
"Someone... Someone..." Mo Qian'er clutched her stomach in fear.
She couldn't let anything happen to the baby.
A maid rushed in."Miss Qian'er, what's wrong? Hold on, I'll get Mr. Xiao."
Mo Qian'er raised her hand to stop her, but before she could, she had already run out.
Mo Qian'er's back arched in pain. Was this fate?
It was already very late when Xiao Xiao looked at the quiet night outside his place. The plan must have changed.
He was about to go to bed, when he heard someone knocking on the door."Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, are you asleep? Miss Qian'er's stomach hurts. Please come and take a look!"
Xiao Xiao put on his robe and rushed out with his medical box."What happened?"
"Her stomach suddenly started to hurt. Her head's drenched with sweat and she's curled in on herself with pain. Please come with me, " said the maid anxiously.
Xiao Xiao nodded."Don't worry, lead the way."
He was still thinking that the maid was really good at pretending.
It was only when he arrived at the northern courtyard and heard the painful moans that Xiao Xiao realized that something was wrong. This wasn't an act; it was real pain.
Did she really do something?
Xiao Xiao rushed in and saw Mo Qian'er curled up on the bed in a thin robe. Her fine black hair was draped beautifully over her pillow like seaweed.
However, her expression was full of pain. Xiao Xiao walked over and gripped her wrist."What did you eat tonight?"
"Eight... eight treasure duck..." Mo Qian'er was both in pain and embarrassed. She hadn't wanted to use Mr. Xiao, but in the end, she still caused him trouble.
"How much did you eat?" Xiao Xiao stabbed her acupuncture point with a needle."This is indigestion..."
Xiao Xiao was rendered speechless. How much of the eight treasure duck did she eat to get such bad indigestion?
"I... I ate one. It was... after dinner, " Mo Qian'er said embarrassedly.
How could she be a glutton like Ah Luo?
It was Lu Fenying who had forced her to eat it.
"Was it delicious?" Xiao Xiao chuckled and asked gently.
Mo Qian'er was even more embarrassed."It... actually tasted pretty good."
Otherwise, she might not have been able to eat it even if Lu Fenying forced her to.
