CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 046: CAUSES OF MISCARRIAGE (3)

The Princely Heir nodded, "Alright, then let’s ask her for suggestions."

Li Xing’an glanced towards the gate of Liu Er’s house, shook his head, and said, "Waiting like this is not a solution, is it? Why hasn’t Second Lady Liu come out?"

Second Young Master Li looked at Mu Yuanxiu and smiled, "Brother Mu, you seem to be quite familiar with the Liu Family? Could you ask Second Lady Liu to come out?"

Ever since they suspected Mu Yuanxiu of deliberately using a rabbit to curry favor with Li Yuzhu, they were no longer afraid of him.

Moreover, their gaze towards Mu Yuanxiu was indifferent.

This puzzled Mu Yuanxiu.

What does it mean when they fear him one moment and not the next?

Mu Yuanxiu said, "Liu the bricklayer learned to build houses from my grandfather, so we know each other."

So that’s how it is.

Second Young Master Li exclaimed, "Brother Mu, your grandfather taught the bricklaying skills to others but not to you?"

Mu Yuanxiu looked melancholic, "He refused to teach me." He put down the basket he was carrying, "I’ll go invite Aunt Liu." With that, he turned and walked towards the Liu Family’s second branch.

Second Young Master Li watched his back and sighed, "Brother Mu, isn’t your grandfather your real grandfather? Such a great skill, yet he taught it to others and not to you?"

"That’s right. If you knew bricklaying, we could just come to you, saving us the trouble of searching for people everywhere," Li Xing’an sighed regretfully as well.

Li Yuzhu frowned, "How can you both speak about him like that? Maybe he was too young to learn at that time?"

Li Xing’an chuckled, "Just kidding."

Mu Yuanxiu glanced back faintly, said nothing, and strode into Liu Er’s house.

Soon, Second Lady Liu followed him out.

Second Lady Liu frowned, her face full of worry.

She approached Li Yuzhu and the others and whispered, "The issues in our family are well-known, so I assume you’ve heard about it."

The Princely Heir nodded, "I’ve heard a bit; it’s an accident, right?"

Second Lady Liu said, "It’s an accident, but... but my sister-in-law is not pregnant; she is seriously ill!"

Li Yuzhu was very surprised, "She’s sick? What kind of illness?"

Second Lady Liu said, "It’s a woman’s illness. That day, I accidentally bumped into her, and she happened to... have her period..."

She glanced at the Princely Heir and the others, then changed the subject, "Anyway, you should convince her to see a doctor. Once she gets treatment, everything will be resolved."

Li Yuzhu was curious, "Second Lady Liu, since you know she’s ill, why don’t you persuade her? We are just outsiders."

Second Lady Liu smiled bitterly, "If our family could persuade her, would we need to seek help from outsiders? She doesn’t believe us! She keeps saying we’re framing her."

"..."

"And not only does she not listen, but she also accuses us of cursing her. Every day she’s at our doorstep cursing, cursing my father-in-law, cursing my entire family, and when she curses, her husband beats her."

"..."

"When she can’t take the beatings, she threatens to kill herself. If she really... What can people do after she threatens everyone like this?"

The Princely Heir frowned, "Second Lady Liu, but we are all men; how can we urge her, a woman?"

Second Lady Liu was taken aback, "Yes, this..."

Li Yuzhu said, "I’ll go then, I’m a woman."

Li Xing’an laughed, "Sister, you’re a young girl trying to persuade a woman to see a doctor? As if she’d listen to you."
