The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 933: Chapter 931: Don’t Call Me Sister-in-law Anymore

She began to lock herself away, refusing to eat or drink, intent on miscarrying the child, but then Su Hao suddenly returned. Seeing her pregnant, he was shocked, pained, and furious.

She still remembers to this day how Su Hao grabbed her shoulders, his eyes red as he said to her, “Jinyan, abort the child! This child cannot be kept…”

“And what about me? Will I still remain by your side?”

“I…”

Su Hao hesitated, unable to give Wu Jinyan an immediate answer.

Time slipped away by the second.

Wu Jinyan knew then that Su Hao was unable to give her an answer anymore.

Caught between Su Hao and the child, she made a choice, “Su Hao, you should go. I will keep the child.”

Su Hao stormed out the door, and she knew that there was no longer any possibility between them.

Su Yingxue sighed deeply, “Afterwards, my brother left for the battlefield…”

Now she reflected, during their campaign against Yungui City, those days spent eradicating Wu Dao, Su Hao’s odd behavior must have been on account of Wu Jinyan’s pregnancy.

Su Yingxue never doubted Su Hao’s deep affection for Wu Jinyan, but as for Wu Jinyan now…

“Sister-in-law, since you’ve decided to keep the child, I will prescribe you some fetus-preserving medicine and tonics to care for your health. You must eat well. Only by nurturing your body can you ensure the child is born healthy,” Su Yingxue said.

She gently stroked Wu Jinyan’s belly, lamenting that the child was not Su Hao’s.

But it was not yet born and was certainly innocent.

And Wu Jinyan had her own reasons for deciding to keep the child.

“Yingxue, thank you, but from now on, please just call me by my name. Don’t call me sister-in-law anymore. Once your brother returns, I will dissolve the marriage with him, and we will owe each other nothing,” Wu Jinyan said, her face full of vulnerability and her eyes showing painful resolve.

Su Yingxue moved her lips, “Alright… Sister Jinyan, I promise you. But as for your marriage to my brother, he won’t give it up easily. He was injured and trapped behind enemy lines; he must be very concerned about you. Once the army returns to the capital, you should have a proper talk with my brother,” Su Yingxue urged.

A rift had formed between the two, leaving behind a great wound that might never heal.

But it was necessary to speak calmly and clearly, to say goodbye properly, in order to make peace with one’s heart.

To not let down… the deep love of all these years.

After leaving the medicine and clinic instructions, Wu Jinyan began to eat once Su Yingxue was gone.

The inherent fortitude in her nature meant she would not easily succumb to any situation. Even if humiliated by having a child in such a manner, she would not seek death but rather contemplate how to live her life moving forward.

After visiting Wu Jinyan, Su Yingxue shared a cup of tea with Su Han. Although Su Han was the daughter of an official, a lady of respectable family, her management of the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion in this period led to a continuous rise in revenues. Integrating some of Wu Jinyan’s methods, three more branches of the pavilion had already been opened.

As an owner who simply waited for her share of the profits, Su Yingxue felt somewhat ashamed to receive such a large sum of money after facing such trials and tribulations, “I haven’t managed the business for a single day, yet so much revenue has filled my pockets. It feels rather awkward. Sister, since you have opened a few more branches, the earnings from these new branches should be split between you and Sister Jinyan. I won’t intervene,” she said.

She had the clinic to worry about, and after returning, she suspected she would not be able to look after the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion anymore.

“You’re willing to trust me to manage the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion?” Su Han asked, her lips curving into a slight smile, her eyes shimmering with excitement.
