Zhou Cailian winced in pain, pushing him away with a mix of reluctance and resistance. However, at this critical moment, Feng Liulang had no intention of holding back because she had harmed their child...
Instead, he moved even faster, finding Zhou Cailian's round belly to be a distraction that made his head spin.
This was actually Zhou Cailian's second experience of intimacy; Feng Liulang was lost in the moment...
The bed creaked under their movements...
Zhou Cailian felt extreme discomfort; not only was she in pain, but it felt as if her belly might split open, as if the child were about to come out. Her face turned pale, and she struggled to breathe.
"It hurts..."
She pushed against Feng Liulang with all her strength, pleading in a voice that was both melodic and tearful. Yet, the more she resisted, the more his desire grew. What man hasn’t seen such tactics? He had encountered many women who used similar methods to entice him. Instead of heeding Zhou Cailian's words, he doubled his efforts...
He had read such books since he was ten years old, and after Xia Muxin saved him, he had fantasized about her countless times. Yet, he never expected that the one beneath him would be Zhou Cailian.
Suddenly, the stubborn gaze of Xia Muxin flashed before his eyes, along with her fierce expression. A bloodthirsty smile inexplicably curled at the corners of his mouth as he increased his pace...
Zhou Cailian didn’t know how she lost consciousness; all she felt was an excruciating pain in her belly as if it were being carved out by a knife. She slightly opened her eyes and saw a strange woman sitting at the foot of the bed, tidying up something.
A metallic scent filled her nostrils. She tried to move her lips but found herself unable to speak. An inexplicable sense of panic washed over her.
"Liulang, how could you not control yourself? A perfectly good child is gone just like that; it breaks my heart," Four Mao lamented to Feng Liulang after sending away the midwife.
After Zhou Cailian fainted last night, she began to bleed heavily, even experiencing a collapse. Feng Liulang was terrified and quickly pulled himself away to wake up Feng San Niang and others. But by the time they called for a doctor, the child had already suffocated to death.
"What are you saying? Liulang is just a normal man. Besides, if she didn’t want it, could he force her?"
Feng San Niang walked over and glared fiercely at Four Mao, pulling the dazed Feng Liulang behind her as she spoke protectively.
Four Mao shook his head and sighed, then left with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, the Zhou Family also rushed over, a large group of men and women.
"Mother-in-law, what happened? I heard that Color Lotus gave birth prematurely. Is the child alright?"
The voice of You was heard from afar, and her first question was not whether her daughter was safe or had delivered a child, but rather if the child was alive. Perhaps in their hearts, Zhou Cailian could never compare to the Feng Family's lineage.
Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Feng San Niang's face as she cried out in anguish, "My poor grandson has no fate with our Feng Family..." She began to wail loudly, naturally not revealing the true reason.
Four Mao stood there in shock; he felt guilty towards Zhou Cailian but couldn't find the words to say. He could only watch as Feng San Niang pretended to act.
For a moment, the Zhou Family was left speechless. The child had died...
The only thought that came to mind was this.
"What... what is going on?"
Wu Family realized the seriousness of the situation and stammered a question.
In their hearts, they wondered if Color Lotus would lose favor because of this, whether there would be any aftereffects that would prevent her from having children in the future. If that were the case, even being the Top Scholar's Wife would mean nothing if she were not favored.
"This matter is my fault. I believe Color Lotus will have children soon."
Feng Liulang recalled the feeling of ecstasy he experienced within Zhou Cailian last night and felt a renewed desire. He spoke ambiguously, "This was an accident; I didn't expect it. But in the days to come, I can enjoy Zhou Cailian properly. After all, who would worry about not having children?"
As soon as he spoke, the Zhou Family relaxed their expressions, their hearts finally at ease, and then they entered the house to see Zhou Cailian.
Zhou Cailian felt a pain in her heart that was almost unbearable. Seeing her family, she managed to smile weakly.
For over nine months, she had been cautious even while walking, afraid that something might happen to the child. Yet unexpectedly, this tragedy still occurred. However, neither her in-laws nor her own family showed any concern for her; no one understood her. At that moment, she could only laugh at how foolish she was, realizing that in their eyes, she had always been superfluous.
She hadn’t even had the chance to see the child's face...
“Color Lotus, take good care of yourself. Don’t take it too hard. You’re still young; you will have children,” said You Shi as she sat down beside the bed, gently patting her hand with a serious tone.
“Mother, I know.”
Though You Shi said this, there was not a trace of compassion in her eyes. Her words were merely meant to encourage Zhou Cailian to recover quickly and try for another child. Zhou Cailian felt a chill in her heart, forcing a pale smile that didn’t reach her eyes—just a gentle facade for her family.
Afterward, they chatted about trivial matters, mostly urging her to rest and regain her strength. Before long, the group left, and then Zhou Xiaolian brought some eggs to help nourish her.
Zhou Cailian smiled weakly and closed her eyes to rest.

“Uncle, do you think Python Brother is okay? It’s been so long; why hasn’t he woken up yet?”
At the Xia Family residence, Xia Muxin bent over with his hands on his knees outside Python Brother's den for half an hour without any sign of movement inside. He turned to Shen Muhan with concern.
Shen Muhan rubbed his smooth chin lazily and glanced at Xia Muxin before shrugging innocently. However, the teasing glint in his eyes was hard for Xia Muxin to ignore, prompting him to punch Shen Muhan lightly.
Suddenly, there was a sound like something breaking out of its shell. Both Xia Muxin and Shen Muhan instinctively looked toward Python Brother's den door just as it swung open, and Little Chi was unceremoniously flung out by Python Brother.
“Hey! Python Brother! You can’t just eat and run; that’s not what a gentleman snake would do!”
Xia Muxin looked at the satisfied Python Brother and immediately scolded him.
Shen Muhan had told her last night that when these two snakes were together, it would inevitably lead to a certain relationship, and then Little Chi would lay an egg. That egg could save lives, but they only had three chances in their lifetime to lay eggs. This egg would replace Python Brother's gallbladder to save his mother.
At that moment, Xia Muxin realized that because she liked Python Brother, he had given up on taking Python Brother's gallbladder to save his mother, which touched her deeply.
However, even now, if she were to choose, she wouldn't know how to decide.
Moreover, the Crimson Plague only recognized one partner. Even if Python Brother was a hundred or a thousand times dissatisfied with her, she would cling on stubbornly unless she died.
At this moment, looking at the wilted Crimson Plague on the ground, she found herself quite fond of it.
No wonder it was such a good partner for Python Brother.
Python Brother looked at Xia Muxin angrily, with a face full of grievance.
Last night, he had forcefully taken advantage of such a small snake. Goddess, do you understand that indescribable pain?
"Be good, Python Brother. If it weren't for this little one, your gallbladder would have to be taken out to make medicine to save people. How could I bear to do that? But what should I do if I don't save anyone? Look at it now; its gaze towards you is as gentle as water. Can you bear to let it go? It's your first one after all..."
Shen Muhan reached into the nest and pulled out the egg-sized snake egg. Upon hearing Xia Muxin's words, his hand trembled and he nearly dropped the gallbladder on the ground.
That was something he had worked hard to find; several brothers had been injured in the process. Ming Yi still couldn't get out of bed even now, but naturally, he wouldn't let Xia Muxin know about this.
Xia Muxin also realized what she had just said and immediately blushed as she chuckled awkwardly at Shen Muhan.
Python Brother snorted through his nose and then slithered around Xia Muxin and left the courtyard.
"Don't worry; with me around, it won't dare abandon you."
Xia Muxin assured Crimson Plague while looking at its massive form.
At this moment, Shen Muqing returned leisurely from somewhere, followed by a visibly displeased Su Xiuning. Upon seeing Crimson Plague, Su Xiuning hurried into the house as if avoiding a flood, while Shen Muqing coldly stared at the Crimson Plague on the ground.
"Here, weren't you supposed to return to the capital? Take this back with you; I don't need to explain its use," Shen Muhan said as he shoved the snake egg into Shen Muqing's palm, as if it were a matter of course.
"Muxin, what should we do with this garlic?"
Shen Muqing shot a cold glance at Shen Muhan, then tucked the egg back into his sleeve. Just as he was about to turn and enter the house, Yan Zhouwan stood at the door, one hand holding a jar and cleaning it, and asked Xia Muxin.
Upon seeing Shen Muqing, her small face suddenly turned red, and her eyes dropped in an unnatural manner.
Xia Muxin took note of her expression changes and felt a pang of worry for Yan Zhouwan. Could it be that she had taken a liking to the icy Shen Er?
This fellow already had someone in his heart; although he was infatuated, if he pursued Yan Zhouwan, she would still make sure he didn't have it easy.
After all, she had always been protective like that.
