Chapter 21 Li Tingxue is knocked unconscious.
Shen Xiuyan immediately hugged her and said with a smile, "Oh, it's just that I was afraid you'd be angry. After all, you're still in your postpartum period. I didn't want you to worry about such a trivial matter."
Hearing his words, Li Tingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, over the years, Shen Xiuyan had encountered many women who offered themselves to him, but he had rejected them all with a cold face.
She knew it was because of the sins committed by her deceased father-in-law, Lord Shen, so deep down she actually wanted to thank him.
However, she couldn't let her husband know about this little scheme, much less let Jiang Mianmian know. Otherwise, knowing Jiang Mianmian's personality, she would definitely cause trouble for her, and she couldn't afford to offend Jiang Mianmian right now.
Moreover, as long as Shen Xiuyan is devoted to her, she is not afraid of any woman. After all, you can't hold onto a man who has changed his mind no matter what.
Liu Jiaying only realized what was happening after watching Shen Xiuyan and her cousin showing affection in front of her.
It turned out that Shen Xiuyan had deliberately let her get close to him, intending to expose her thoughts to her cousin so that she could be kicked out of the Marquis's mansion.
Liu Jiaying gave a sad laugh. He was trampling on her sincere feelings to make Li Tingxue happy. How cruel he was!
She unconsciously clenched her fists tightly, but even as her fingernails chafed her palms raw, she felt no pain.
Shen Xiuyan actually made her deliberately circle around him, looking at her like a clown, and laughing at her wantonly behind her back from time to time.
But why? Liu Jiaying thought bitterly, wondering what she had done wrong.
She was clearly younger than Li Tingxue, and her looks were no less than Li Tingxue's, so why didn't she receive his affection? Thinking of this, Liu Jiaying's hatred quickly spread throughout her heart.
At the same time, Li Tingxue turned to face the two old women standing behind her, her expression calm and composed, and slowly gave her instructions:
"Guards, it's late. Quickly escort Miss Biao back to her room to rest. Remember, she must not step out of her room without my permission."
As soon as she finished speaking, two maids came in. They immediately responded in unison and quickly stepped forward, each helping Liu Jiaying on one side, preparing to lead her out of the study.
But no one expected that when these people reached the door, Liu Jiaying, who had seemed docile and obedient and was being helped by the maids, suddenly started a fight.
She suddenly pushed hard and broke free from the two maids' restraints.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Jiaying, like a maddened wild beast, pounced straight at Li Tingxue without hesitation.
Li Tingxue was completely unprepared for Liu Jiaying's actions and was caught off guard by the sudden and violent impact.
With a muffled thud, Li Tingxue's head slammed solidly against the hard wall.
The impact was so immense that Li Tingxue immediately fainted.
The incident happened so suddenly that everyone present was caught off guard and speechless.
Who would have thought that Liu Jiaying, who is usually gentle and dignified, would become so extreme and do such a shocking and appalling thing?
In an instant, screams erupted from the crowd.
"what……"
The terrified screams echoed throughout the study, alarming everyone in the Marquis's residence.
"lady!"
"Young Madam..."
Several other voices followed, their tones equally filled with worry and terror.
At this moment, Shen Xiuyan finally came to his senses from the shock. He flashed forward and took a big step, stretching out his arms to catch Li Tingxue, who was about to fall heavily to the ground.
He cried out in a panic, "Tingxue, Tingxue, you...you're alright, don't scare me!"
His face was filled with panic as he tightly embraced the unconscious Li Tingxue, his voice trembling as he urgently called out:
"Tingxue, Tingxue, how... how are you? Please don't scare me!" His eyes revealed endless panic and concern.
"Someone, someone quick...hurry...get a doctor!"
Shen Xiuyan suddenly turned his head and roared angrily at the servants who had gathered around him.
His voice was hoarse from extreme tension and anger, which made the servants present tremble with fear. They hoped that the young mistress was alright, otherwise the young master would go crazy!
…………
Just then, a series of light footsteps approached the study. It turned out that Jiang Mianmian, who had heard the commotion in the backyard, had also rushed to the front yard.
She entered the study and saw Li Tingxue on the bed, who was unconscious.
Jiang Mianmian looked at the anxious Shen Xiuyan beside her and asked in confusion, "What happened? Why did your wife suddenly faint? Did you upset her again?"
You know, when she went to see the child after dinner, Li Tingxue was perfectly fine.
How come I feel itchy after just a short while? A series of big question marks appeared on Jiang Mianmian's face.
Jiang Mianmian looked at Shen Xiuyan with suspicion, thinking to herself, "I never even dreamed that she was unwell."
Faced with Jiang Mianmian's barrage of questions, Shen Xiuyan felt somewhat guilty.
However, when he heard Jiang Mianmian expressing concern for Li Tingxue, he hurriedly explained, "Mother, don't worry, the doctor in the manor has already come to see her."
He said Tingxue was fine; she had just accidentally bumped her head and scraped it slightly, and the impact to her brain might have caused her to faint. The doctor prescribed medicine, and she would be fine after drinking the herbal decoction for a few days once she woke up.
After saying that, he sighed deeply again, looking regretful, and said, "Alas, in the end, it's all my fault..."
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Mianmian's mouth dropped open. She was stunned for a moment. Wow, was it really that thrilling?
【Yo yo yo! Shen Xiuyan, you have a face that attracts all sorts of women, but I never expected you to be so useless.】
You can't even handle this little thing, and in the end, you make Li Tingxue suffer for you. You're such a useless piece of trash, just like your good-for-nothing dead father!
Just as useless as his deadbeat father, Shen Xiuyan was speechless at this moment. However, since Li Tingxue hadn't woken up yet, he had no interest in arguing with Jiang Mianmian.
When Jiang Mianmian heard that Li Tingxue was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief. Not wanting to wait around any longer, she immediately said, "Alright, since your wife is fine, I'll go back and rest now."
"Oh, right! Since your wife is unconscious, she definitely can't take care of Le'an right now. So I'll let Le'an come back with me first."
Just take good care of Tingxue, so that no other bad person will appear and hurt my little granddaughter.
Shen Xiuyan was both amused and exasperated by his mother's awkward expression of concern, and quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Alright, stop thanking me. I'm not doing this for you guys, I'm doing it for my little granddaughter. What if some crazy woman suddenly appears next to you?"
Shen Xiuyan: "…………"
Don't even mention it, we just got rid of Han Lanjiao and now Liu Jiaying has come along. Who knows if a third one will pop up?
Jiang Mianmian glanced at Li Tingxue, who was lying quietly on the bed, and snorted. She didn't take the child away to care about you, you stupid woman.
After saying this, Jiang Mianmian turned around and instructed the wet nurse to take the child and go back to Songhe Courtyard with her.
