Chapter 246: 144 Surgery (First Revision)_2
What Lady Xu truly wanted to say was that the Young Master’s reputation had already waned even in comparison to the Crown Prince’s wife. If it declined further, there would be nothing left to tarnish.
Biting her teeth, the Third Prince’s wife retorted, “Does she have a sense of kinship? Which younger sister regularly speaks up for outsiders? I asked her to learn the zither with me, but she declined, saying the Crown Prince’s wife played it better! Does she understand the difference?”
As she finished speaking, the Third Prince’s wife felt her stomach pain intensify.
This maid was driving her crazy!
The Third Prince’s wife clutched her stomach, her brows knitted deeply in pain.
The two maidservants sensed something was amiss. Lady Xu asked, “Young Master, are you alright?”
“Oh…” The Third Prince’s wife could not help but groan, clutching her stomach tighter as she braced herself against the corner of the table, “We must go back home immediately… Tell the carriage to go slowly…”
The two maidservants were stunned.
Did they need to go slowly or quickly?
Sweat broke out on the Third Prince’s wife’s brow from the pain. She desperately wished to be back home immediately, but every jolt of the carriage was accompanied by a more intense wave of pain.
The maidservants noticed their master’s face growing pale, uncertain whether it was a result of anger towards the Fifth Miss or a genuine illness.
“I’m fine…” The Third Prince’s wife began, only to be interrupted mid-sentence by a sharp pain in her abdomen. She lost her balance and fell, landing hard on the floor of the carriage.
The two maidservants were terrified.
Lady Xu screamed, “Stop the carriage… Now!”
The driver halted the carriage.
Though the bouncing had stopped, the Third Prince’s wife’s condition showed no signs of improvement. She writhed in excruciating pain.
“What should we do, Sister Xu?” Lady Liu asked tremulously.
Lady Xu, kneeling beside the Third Prince’s wife, watched her master’s agonized squirming insecurities mounting.
The Third Prince’s wife might not hold on till they got home…
She pulled back the curtain, addressing the driver, “Is there a medical hall nearby?”
The driver pondered for a moment, “There is a school up ahead for girls and there seems to be a medical hall next to it.”
Lady Xu hastily commanded, “Hurry there!”
“Yes!” The driver headed towards the medical hall.
Hopping off the carriage, Lady Xu yelled, “Doctor! We need a doctor!”
The shopkeeper came out, “Miss, our medical hall has not yet officially opened. You are…”
Lady Xu was choked with shock. ƒreewebɳovel.com
