Qhianqhian never expected that her brother would bring home a woman...

Looking at Luo Shufan’s figure, not only Qhianqhian but also Yue Tingyu and Old Master Luo were dumbfounded. What was this situation? Kidnapping a woman?

"She’s not feeling right. I saw blood all over the chair and brought her back." Luo Shufan hurriedly explained, looking at the pale-faced woman whom Qhianqhian almost didn’t recognize as the one they helped casually.

However, this appearance, this dripping blood, was beyond explanation by a physiological period!

"Divine Doctor Yan, Divine Doctor, come out quickly, there’s a life at stake!" He Wenyu rushed to knock on the door. Yan, having just finished cultivating, came out and instantly spotted the blood in the yard, his gaze tightening immediately.

After scanning around, his eyes finally settled on the woman, stepping swiftly forward to grasp her wrist, and moments later, his expression turned grave: "Miscarriage, the fetus has died in the womb."

"Oh my god..." He Wenyu shivered instantly, as Nine Heavens Pavilion had just dealt with three pregnant women, making her particularly vigilant about such matters. She even read books and researched the taboos of pregnant women.

In just a moment, her face looked terribly grim: "Did she eat all the hawthorn jujube cake I made? It must be my fault, it must be..."

"Don’t panic first." Qhianqhian was stunned, remembering there was indeed such a dessert on the table that day, used to accentuate the sweetness of other desserts...

"It’s not related to you, the child already showed no signs of survival long before. I don’t know why the fetus started to descend today. Never mind, prepare hot water, Shiliu and Shiqi. I’ll go prepare the medicine. If we don’t clean out the fetus completely, she might never conceive again," Yan quickly said.

"Just use our room; your rooms are inconvenient." After exchanging a glance with He Wenyu, Qhianqhian quickly said, and Luo Shufan, caring about nothing else, carried the woman directly into the room...

"Thank you." Seeing Qhianqhian and He Wenyu watching over the bedside, the woman hurriedly tried to get up but was too weak.

He Wenyu rushed to support her: "Your body hasn’t recovered yet, rest first... even if the child is gone, take care of your body well, you’ll have a chance in the future." Saying this, she brought over a bowl of chicken soup covered by a big bowl: "Grandma said, during confinement, you also need good supplements to avoid future illnesses."

Watching the woman drink the chicken soup, Qhianqhian finally put down her book and looked at her: "Do you want to tell us something?"

The woman froze, staring at Qhianqhian for a long time before recognizing her as the girl who once let her fill her stomach. After remaining silent for a while, she lowered her eyes and said, "What do you want to know? If you ask, I’ll tell you."

"Like the seal inside your body." Qhianqhian said decisively.

The Nine Heavens Pavilion isn’t an orphanage, there’s no reason to always pick people up, right? They’ve taken in Shiba, who now hangs out with Xiao Tian all day, often bringing along the Little White Snake, without a hint of fear.

It’s much easier to manage this way, so she said nothing further.

Surely, it’s not suddenly another person with a tragic background requiring their support, right?

If they keep adopting more, she’s afraid that later all names will follow this rule.

Upon hearing this, the woman froze, then smiled bitterly: "I didn’t expect you all discovered that."

After a long silence, she slowly said: "The seal inside me doesn’t just block my spiritual power but also the ways those people can find me. Those people are sort of my family, who arranged a marriage for me with a prestigious family’s son. I refused and was forced. Only obtaining my body doesn’t win my heart; I still ran away. The sole problem is, lacking spiritual power support, I’m just like an ordinary person, quite miserable until you all casually saved me."

"Why doesn’t your family listen to your opinion?" He Wenyu was instantly bewildered, if she had to marry, her parents would likely dig into the other’s ancestors generations back, why hand her over to strangers?

"Does my opinion matter?" The woman smiled bitterly, shaking her head: "Though my body is confined, thankfully my soul and heart are still free, not imprisoned in a cage, which is fortunate."

After talking a bit, they let her rest, as she had lost too much blood. If it weren’t for Yan, even after miscarrying, she might still have been in danger due to excessive blood loss.

"Ah..." Qhianqhian sighed speechlessly; the woman had no means of making money, fleeing all the way, and her family was heartless, couldn’t be driven away... seems they can only keep her?

"...Will she be ranked nineteenth?" He Wenyu asked, looking at Qhianqhian’s peculiar expression.

Qhianqhian paused before nodding: "Perhaps. We can’t send her back home, nor can we leave her unprotected, right?"

"Next time, let’s not wander around much, otherwise we’ll keep picking people up..." He Wenyu felt a bit helpless even though the sect was wealthy, they’re not meant to be disruptive like this.

Attending an auction and picking up a person is one thing, but now they find someone at the Forget Worries Tea House too. If they accidentally encounter someone malicious with a deliberate scheme against them, it would be quite unjust.

Original intentions of doing good turning into vulnerabilities is not kindness but foolishness.

"Brother Jiayou, heading out?" Qhianqhian raised her eyebrows, seeing Lin Jiayou suddenly walk out of the room.

Seeing Qhianqhian, Lin Jiayou looked somewhat uneasy, nodded: "Yes, just returning a favor."

Although saying so, even without this incident, he wouldn’t have gone out less.

"Right, send this to the Eldest Princess as thanks for her help, invite her and Third Princess to visit Forget Worries Tea House sometime, and charge it to my account." Qhianqhian paused and took out a box; inside was a delicate crystal necklace. Although it was crystal, in this era it was rare.

"Right, this is also for the Eldest Princess, eat it soon, or it’ll spoil." He Wenyu took out a packet too; after all, the Eldest Princess helped her, even a small gift was a gesture.

Seeing the items the two of them took out, Lin Jiayou raised an eyebrow: "Actually, these are small matters, if possible, she would prefer having a child." Saying this, he took the items and turned to leap over the wall.

"If she wants a child, let her have one. Why tell us about it?" He Wenyu’s face turned strange: "There’s no surrogate scheme here, is there?"

"She’s probably infertile, right? Not sure, ask carefully later." Qhianqhian shrugged; this big brother has caused enough trouble, his kidney function is clearly normal.

"Why not say it’s her Prince Consort that’s abnormal..." He Wenyu was speechless—infertility being known by a Princess was understood with so many Imperial Physicians in the Royal Family.

"Who knows..."

Qhianqhian looked up at the starry sky, her voice held an age-long tone: "Yuyu, let’s hope we never experience this."
