Cheng You rushed in without thinking, and Song Qinglan couldn't stop her.
Pushing through the crowd, she saw Meng Xin lying at the bend of the stairs.
Song Jingye picked her up and hurried downstairs.
Tang Jing stood by the staircase, her face filled with shock, as if terrified.
Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, Song Qinglan sighed, "What a sin."
From the blood, it seemed to be flowing from between Meng Xin's legs.
Could she be pregnant?
"Will the baby be alright?" Cheng You heard someone ask beside her.
Falling down the stairs, and bleeding so much.
All eyes turned to Tang Jing with condemnation.
"You from the Song family, you've gone too far this time!"
"You reported her, yet you still have the nerve to fight with her?"
"Now that your grandson is gone, are you happy?"
Tang Jing spat fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about? Meng Xin is just a hen that can't lay eggs. Our Song family has tolerated her for so many years, it's her good fortune! What child? She's not pregnant at all, where would a child come from?"
She'd rather Meng Xin be unable to have children than for her to lose her grandson!
Cheng You suddenly thought of something, turned, and ran home to get the pregnancy-preserving pills.
She didn't know if they would work, but she could try.
With the medicine, she ran to the military hospital and caught up with Song Jingye at the entrance.
He was holding Meng Xin, which slowed his pace, allowing her to catch up.
Cheng You poured out a pill and put it into Meng Xin's mouth.
"It's a last resort, but it won't hurt you."
She wasn't sure if Meng Xin was truly pregnant or not, but either way, it was an extra layer of protection.
As soon as the pill was in Meng Xin's mouth, Cheng You was roughly pushed by Song Jingye.
"What did you give my wife!"
Song Jianyang, who was following closely, saw this and quickly reprimanded, "Jingye!"
Cheng You didn't argue and stepped aside to let him pass.
"It's pregnancy-preserving pills. Hurry inside."
Song Jianyang nodded at her, a hint of apology on his face.
"I'll come to thank you another day."
Cheng You waved her hand, "It was just a small thing."
Besides, she wasn't sure if Meng Xin was pregnant.
Song Jingye hurriedly carried Meng Xin inside. He and Song Jianyang had to wait outside.
Cheng You left after delivering the medicine. She had no relationship with Meng Xin and no standing to stay.
On her way back from the hospital, Song Qinglan quickly stopped her.
"How is it? Is she pregnant?"
Cheng You replied, "Probably. It's not confirmed yet. We'll have to wait for the hospital's results."
"Tsk, such a sin," Song Qinglan shook her head repeatedly.
Cheng You walked into the house and casually remarked, "If the child is lost, can we hold Tang Jing responsible?"
Song Qinglan waved her hand, saying it would be difficult.
Because the Song family would never send Tang Jing to jail.
Song Jianyang was concerned about his reputation and wouldn't want to escalate the matter.
Cheng You remained silent. With that kind of relationship, it was indeed difficult to handle.
"Those pregnancy-preserving pills you gave her, can they really save her child?"
Cheng You smiled helplessly, "I'm not a miracle doctor, how can I be sure?"
Song Qinglan thought about it carefully, and it seemed so.
After a moment of hesitation, she expressed her true feelings.
"Although it might sound unpleasant, to be honest, you shouldn't have gotten involved."
Meng Xin had wanted a child for many years and hadn't conceived. If this child was lost.
Who knew if they would blame Cheng You.
After all, someone like Tang Jing had a terrible character.
Song Qinglan explained it thoroughly to Cheng You, saying that this time was an exception, but she shouldn't casually save people next time.
Cheng You smiled, "There's nothing wrong with my pregnancy-preserving pills. Zhen Shan Tang is a licensed establishment."
No matter how they blamed her, it wouldn't fall on her.
Song Qinglan shook her head, thinking Cheng You was too young and didn't understand the complexities of human nature.
But she knew Cheng You's stubborn nature and didn't say much more.
Cheng You thought about it carefully, and what Song Qinglan said made sense.
But if you asked her if she regretted it?
Cheng You would say no.
If given the chance again, she would still do the same.
When Qi Chengyan returned home, Cheng You told him about the incident.
She looked a little lost, "Do you think I shouldn't have given her the medicine?"
Qi Chengyan stroked her head and said gently, "Do you regret it?"
Cheng You shook her head, "No."
"Then that's all that matters."
Qi Chengyan didn't think it was something to dwell on.
Cheng You giggled, feeling much lighter.
Qi Chengyan looked down at her, "If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."
She hugged his waist and pouted, "Then buy me another popsicle?"
The man lightly tapped her forehead, and stubbornly refused, "No."
Cheng You was about to cry out in despair when she heard Sister-in-law He running and shouting, "Cheng You, Meng Xin miscarried, and now they're saying it's because she took your medicine!"
Cheng You's body stiffened. Song Qinglan's words had come true.
Sister-in-law He was anxious and bitter, her footsteps slowing as she reached the doorway.
She spoke with difficulty, "They're making a scene at the hospital, saying they want to settle the score with you!"
Cheng You scoffed, "Let them. There's nothing wrong with my medicine, they can say whatever they want."
Sister-in-law He hesitated at the doorway.
She had no doubt that she believed Cheng You. Precisely because she believed her, she could understand Cheng You's feelings at this moment.
If patients behaved like this, who would dare to practice medicine in the future?
"The Song family is too unkind."
Cheng You's expression turned cold, "Sister-in-law He, it's alright."
Sister-in-law He nodded, "Then be careful. Call me if you need anything."
She couldn't protect Cheng You, but she could intervene in a fight.
Cheng You stood up, adjusted her clothes, and said indifferently, "Let's go to the hospital."
She wanted to know how they planned to make her take the blame.
Qi Chengyan held her hand, acting as a protector.
"I'll go with you."
Cheng You hesitated, "Will it affect you?"
The path Qi Chengyan was taking required him to be cautious, and every word and action could affect his future.
He chuckled, his voice both helpless and doting, "Youyou, if I can't protect you, then this uniform means nothing."
Cheng You smiled and squeezed his hand back, "Then let's go together."
As they walked out the door, they saw Song Qinglan.
Her steps were hurried, and the hem of her clothes was wrinkled from her grip.
"Where are you two going?"
Cheng You replied, "I want to go to the hospital."
Song Qinglan's expression was a little unnatural, "I'm going too. Let's go together."
Cheng You asked doubtfully, "Are you going to the hospital to see Meng Xin?"
"Yes, let's go."
It was to see Meng Xin, but not to visit, but to question.
Perhaps because Qi Chengyan was there, Song Qinglan was very quiet.
Inwardly, she had cursed Tang Jing a thousand times.
Finally, she couldn't hold back. At the hospital entrance, she cast a disapproving glance at Cheng You.
"Didn't I tell you? The Song family are ungrateful wretches, and you still helped them!"
