Chapter 199: 197: Start the Calculation, Undeserved Disaster, Sisi Feels Wronged

At the main hall of the Goddess of Mercy’s Temple, a sedan chair came to a halt.

Before the sedan chair stopped completely, a pregnant woman holding her stomach quickly got out.

This was none other than Di Ruoning and her group, who had separated not long ago.

Di Ruoning was in great pain at that time, so she had to stop and rest for a long time. Ms. Zhang and others had already left. Only Yuan Mengbai stayed by her side.

Fortunately, they met a kind traveling doctor who happened to be at the temple fair. He quickly diagnosed her and pointed out the cause of her problem.

“Madam, did you eat something unusual that led to your baby moving?”

“I haven’t eaten anything different from usual. I don’t see how that could be the problem.” Di Ruoning couldn’t figure it out.

Yuan Mengbai, however, had a thought: “Doctor, can pregnant women eat candied haws?”

“Rock sugar is fine, but eating too much hawthorn can cause fetal movement. Madam, how could you endanger your child by indulging in the fleeting pleasures of food? Sigh! It’s really…” The wandering doctor shook his head and left after receiving his payment.

Di Ruoning’s face turned pale with anger, and she fumed for a long time before finally yelling!

“Damn you, Liu Sisi! I thought you admitted defeat and gave me the candied hawthorns, but you were trying to harm me!”

Yuan Mengbai couldn’t stand it any longer: “She told you that pregnant women shouldn’t eat the candied haws. It’s your own craving that’s to blame…”

His words immediately enraged Di Ruoning: “Well done, Yuan Mengbai! Are you falling for that little vixen and taking her side? Do you just want me to die of anger!?”

“What… where did that come from? How could I think that way?”

Yuan Mengbai swore and cursed, doing everything short of kneeling down. At last, he managed to coax Di Ruoning into laughter.

After taking a dose of pregnancy-protecting medicine and resting for four hours, Di Ruoning finally felt better and was relieved of her imminent distress.

Originally planning to return home by another route, she changed her mind at the last minute.

“We are already at the foot of the mountain. How can I not visit the Goddess of Mercy’s temple? I hope I can have a daughter to make up a good character this time. No matter what, I must go up the mountain and pray for the Goddess of Mercy’s blessing.”

Most importantly, she hadn’t taught that damn Liu Sisi a lesson yet. How could she let her off the hook!

As a result, Yuan Mengbai hired another sedan chair to take her to the entrance of the temple.

Her eyes swept the surroundings, taking in everything around her as if searching for something. She frowned in disappointment when she couldn’t find it.

Damn!

Was it possible that she had taken her silver and not come?

“Ruoning, what’s wrong? Weren’t you just in a hurry to go in and worship the Goddess of Mercy? Why did you stop and not go any further now?” Yuan Mengbai asked after dismissing the sedan chair bearers.

Di Ruoning’s eyes flickered before she covered her chest: “Mengbai, I’m hungry now. Go get me a vegetarian meal.”

“Why not go to worship the Goddess of Mercy first?”

Yuan Mengbai frowned, as skipping the worship would be disrespectful, not to mention going to buy food while doing so…

“No! I want to eat now! Don’t you care about our daughter’s hunger? Mengbai…”

Di Ruoning’s coquettish pleading made Yuan Mengbai feel as if his bones were melting.

“All right, wait here for me for a moment. I’ll be back soon.” After saying this, he quickly ran into the vegetarian canteen.

As soon as he left, Di Ruoning straightened up and saw Liu Sisi and Guihua walking from the main hall to the square, which immediately changed her expression.

She looked around anxiously but saw no one she was looking for.

Unable to wait any longer, she gritted her teeth and quickly rushed towards the direction of Liu Sisi and Guihua.

At the moment, Guihua, who came out from inside, was teasing Liu Sisi: “I think with your slender waist and perky bottom, you surely have the appearance of giving birth to a son. Don’t worry about that.”

“Sister Guihua…”

Liu Sisi’s face turned completely red in an instant! What does it mean to have the appearance of giving birth to a son?! That’s just too much! She awkwardly rushed forward.

Unintentionally, she collided head-on with someone who hurriedly burst in from outside.

“Ouch! My stomach…”

Before Liu Sisi could apologize, the other person started yelling at them first!

“What kind of person doesn’t watch where they’re going, didn’t you see a pregnant woman here? Can you really afford to compensate if you hit me?”

The voice of the angry person was very familiar, and Liu Sisi quickly raised her head to see that it was Di Ruoning. What a small world for enemies to meet!

Liu Sisi was startled!

She hurriedly stretched out her hand to steady Di Ruoning and tried to help her up from the ground.

“Ruo Ning, little sister, are you okay?”

Di Ruoning glared at Liu Sisi furiously, her resentment intensifying upon seeing her nemesis!

“Ouch… my stomach hurts… Liu Sisi, you’re utterly heartless! It wasn’t enough that you tricked me into eating hawthorn; now you’re intentionally bumping into my stomach. It hurts so much… Liu Sisi! What are you really up to?” Di Ruoning cried in pain, clutching her stomach.

Liu Sisi didn’t have time to respond when Guihua immediately retorted.

“It was clearly you who collided with us, and we couldn’t even avoid you. Why are you blaming us with false accusations?”

“Ouch! What do you mean I collided with you? It hurts! My stomach… it hurts so much…”

Di Ruoning screamed in pain, covering her stomach, refusing to get up from the ground.

“Little sister, how are you feeling? Can you still stand? Get up! Let me help you find a doctor!”

Liu Sisi tried her best to pull Di Ruoning up from the ground several times but couldn’t succeed.

The commotion immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. When they saw that a pregnant woman had been knocked down, many offered a helping hand.

“Don’t touch me! It hurts… my stomach hurts so much… don’t move me! … It’s so painful…”

Di Ruoning’s screams alarmed the crowd, and everyone started discussing the situation, but no one dared to touch her anymore.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t believe her! It was clearly her who collided with us just now!”

Guihua could no longer hold back and jumped forward to shield Liu Sisi. Then, she turned around and angrily scolded Di Ruoning.

Di Ruoning didn’t respond, but the surrounding onlookers began accusing Guihua!

“How can you talk like that? She’s clearly a pregnant woman. How could she joke about her own child?”

“This is in front of a Buddhist temple, don’t talk nonsense! If the Bodhisattva blames you, there will be consequences!”

“You can even harm a pregnant woman, it’s a shame she looks like an ordinary person.”

“Tsk! What kind of people are they? Expecting harm to come to the child in someone’s stomach; their hearts are completely black.”

The crowd pointed at Liu Sisi and discussed, making Guihua increasingly agitated!

“You people, what are you talking about? You didn’t even see the situation at the time; why are you talking nonsense? It’s clear that she deliberately bumped into us, and we couldn’t avoid her.” Guihua made matters worse the more she explained.

“Sister Guihua, don’t say anything.”

Obviously, the more they said, the more they made mistakes!
