She spoke directly, and Qin Wan knew that her mind was as clear as a mirror, which pleased her.
Putting down the teacup, Qin Wan earnestly spoke to Su Yingxue, âIf it werenât for Hanâerâs current perilous situation, 1 wouldnât have wanted to bother you. Yingxue, 1 implore you, can you save your cousin?â
Qin Wan, born into a prestigious family and married to Su Yingxueâs uncle, General Weiwu, Su Han, was married into the Regional Princeâs Mansion. It was not an exaggeration to say she belonged to a noble family.
However, now she set aside her status as an elder to make such a plea.
Su Yingxue furrowed her brows. âWhat has happened to cousin?â
âYour cousin is currently imprisoned in the princeâs mansion of Yongâan County. Your uncle and 1 canât see her at all, and Iâm uncertain about her current situation!â Tears welled up in Qin Wanâs eyes.
âWhat illness does Cousin have? Whatâs the situation in the princeâs mansion of Yongâan County? Please, Aunt, tell me everything step by step.â
Su Yingxue recalled Su Hanâs kindness in her previous life. Before she passed away, Su Han was the only one who came to the Marquisâs Manor to find her.
In this life, even though she had made a deal with Su Han, Su Han was still an honest sister. Asking these questions probably meant she wanted to lend a hand in saving Su Han.
However, she needed to understand the situation first.
Qin Wan recounted everything to Su Yingxue. âA few days ago, Hanâer began feeling unwell in her stomach. She consulted a doctor who declared she was pregnant. We were all overjoyed about the child, but soon, Hanâer became bedridden. Your uncle and I sought numerous renowned doctors to visit the princeâs mansion of Yongâan County, but none were allowed to examine her. The doctor sent in two days ago was a servant of your uncle. He managed to bring back a note from Hanâer. It turns out that Hanâerâ¦â
As Qin Wan spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably.
Her choked voice weighed heavily on Su Yingxueâs heart. âHas Cousin been mistreated in the Regional Princeâs Mansion?â
âItâs not just mistreatment. Miss has been imprisoned by the princeâs mansionâs people. They saidâ¦â Qin Wanâs maidservant looked indignant but dared not continue.
This made Su Yingxue even more anxious.
Su Yingxue furrowed her brows. âIf Aunt has reservations, 1 wonât press further today. However, if you wish to save Cousin, and restore her innocence, please tell me the truth.â
âThis matter is truly difficult to talk about. Family matters shouldnât be aired in public, but Hanâerâs life is more importantâ¦â Qin Wan seemed to have steeled herself before continuing, âThe people from the princeâs mansion said that Hanâer isnât pregnant. Sheâs carrying a ghost fetus! Because Hanâerâs belly has expanded in just a few days.â
A hint of surprise flashed across Su Yingxueâs eyes. âHer stomach expanded in just a few days? Cousin should be around two months pregnant?â
âThatâs correct! Thatâs why Hanâer has been mistreated by them. The county lord in the Regional Princeâs Mansion is also domineering and ruthless. She has always had a strained relationship with Hanâer. Now she has ordered Hanâer to be locked up, and Iâm afraid Hanâer has suffered greatly inside.â
Qin Wan covered her face with a handkerchief. This was her greatest sorrow as a mother.
Her precious daughter was seriously ill and imprisoned in her husbandâs house, and she and her husband could do nothing about it.
They had done everything within their power.
Now, only Su Yingxue could help them.
âYingxue, youâre a genius doctor. You can surely diagnose Hanâerâs illness. She isnât pregnant with a ghost fetus. Itâs all baseless rumors. Moreover, considering your status, the princeâs mansion of Yongâan County will surely give you some respect.â
Qin Wan sounded a little embarrassed, but Su Yingxue understood what she
meant..
