Fu Yan didn't know how long she knelt until the lights came on in the ancestral hall. She opened her tired eyes, a drop of sweat slipped from her forehead, and her slightly raised face looked pale under the light.

It turns out it's getting dark.

She pursed her dry lips, clenched her trembling fingers tightly, and cold sweat continued to drip from her forehead.

After a while, she lowered her head again.

At this time, the door creaked as someone pushed in from the outside. She did not look back, only heard steady and powerful footsteps.

Then she heard Cao Fang's voice. After saying a few words to the person guarding the ancestral hall, he walked towards her.

"Miss Fu, I will take you away."

He stood on the edge of the futon and spoke softly.

After a few seconds, she spoke hoarsely and in a low voice, "Can you help me?"

Cao Fang was stunned, and immediately stretched out his hand to hold her arm, and helped her up without any effort from her.

Fu Yan's legs no longer looked like her own. She couldn't control them and her body swayed uncontrollably.

Cao Fang quickly held her arms and shoulders with his eyes, forgetting that she had been kneeling here for eight hours. Her legs were probably stiff and painful, making it impossible to stand.

"Miss Fu, are you okay?"

He asked in a low voice, only to see that Fu Yan's face was pale and ugly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He quickly helped her, sat down on the chair next to her, and put a futon on her back so that she could lean on it so she could feel better.

"What's wrong with you?"

Fu Yan shook his head.

Cao Fang looked at her in embarrassment. She was depressed and broken, and he didn't dare to ask again.

After a long while, she finally said: "How is Huo Jingshu...?"

That she could be taken away meant that Huo Jingshu and her child were fine.

It should be safe, right?

Cao Fang frowned and said solemnly: "The child is not saved."

Fu Yan's expressionless face suddenly stiffened, and his face was almost transparent.

My mind went blank.

Then a pool of bright red blood cut through the blank space and occupied her entire mind.

The circles under his eyes suddenly turned red.

Cao Fang didn't dare to look at her face, "Miss Fifth doesn't want to see anyone now, she just wants to see you."

He paused and then said, "She said she won't eat until she sees you."

Fu Yan's heart sank.

It turned out that this was the reason for taking her out of the ancestral hall.

She thought Huo Jingshu had turned the corner, or... Huo Minzheng believed what she said and wanted to let her go.

It turned out to be none of them, and God would not let her go.

She knelt in the ancestral hall, praying every minute that Huo Jingshu's child would be okay.

She was not doing it entirely for herself, but as a first-time mother, she could relate to the joy and worry about gains and losses, and she did not want Huo Jingshu to suffer.

When she opened the door of the ancestral hall, a cold wind blew over. Cao Fang quickly shook out a blanket and put it on her shoulders, helping her out.

She slowly moved her heavy and sore legs. She couldn't walk fast at all. It was even difficult to stand. Her steps outside suddenly stopped.

There were heavy shadows from the trees, and the tall and straight man standing outside the car seemed to blend into the night. He held a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke was blown away by the wind, and the sparks flickered.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked over. His jade-like eyes were soaked in frost and lacked any warmth.

Their eyes met, and Fu Yan's pale face was completely exposed in his eyes. It was pale and fragile, but those black and white eyes were filled with perseverance and unyielding light.

Huo Mingzheng looked away, took a long puff of cigarette, then stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, saying coldly: "Get in the car."

"I didn't push her."

A broken and hoarse voice came from behind, which was inexplicably heart-wrenching.

Huo Minzheng paused in his steps. His broad back seemed so safe in the night, but at this moment, he gave Fu Yan an indifference that could repel people thousands of miles away.

Without saying a word, he held the car door and got in.

Fu Yan lowered his head and smiled mockingly. Why should she say it again? He didn't believe her. No matter how many times she explained, he would never believe it.

Cao Fang knew that some words were difficult to say, but he had to remind Fu Yan.

"The fifth wife is also in the hospital."

Fu Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly turned red, "You guys!"

Huo Jingshu was the favored fifth lady of the Huo family. The entire Huo family believed that she was the one who pushed Huo Jingshu, which led to the loss of the child and that she and her mother were in a difficult situation.

With her mother in the hospital, one can imagine how Du Xinrui would make a fuss about this matter and make things difficult for her mother.

She pushed Cao Fang away and limped over. Cao Fang caught up with her and wanted to help her get into the car. She gritted her teeth and brushed it away, bent down and sat in.

Cao Fang glanced at Huo Minzheng subconsciously. The man's stern profile tightened, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and there was a faint displeasure between his brows.

He closed the door quietly, walked around the driver's seat on the front of the car, and raised the partition of the car before driving.

You can hear a pin drop in the cabin.

Fu Yan sat motionless in the corner, the car was driving on the road, and the streetlights shone in clusters, streaking through the hidden needle holes on the back of her hands.

She closed her eyes and couldn't sort out any thoughts in her mind. She just felt so tired and her back was painful and sore, as if it was about to break.

She didn't know how long it took, but the car stopped. She thought she had arrived at the hospital.

The result is a bustling and lively street.

She was familiar with this place. There was an alley as she walked in, and at the end of the alley was Wangji Porridge Shop.

Huo Minzheng glanced at her legs with his peripheral vision, lowered the partition, and ordered: "Go and pack some porridge according to her taste."

"I won't eat." Fu Yan looked away with a cold expression.

She was concerned about her mother's situation and did not dare to delay for too long. Du Xinrui had resented her mother for many years, and now that she had caused Huo Jingshu to lose her child, Du Xinrui would not let her mother go easily.

Huo Minzheng glanced at Cao Fang. Cao Fang understood, opened the door and got out of the car, and disappeared at the entrance of the alley after a while.

Fu Yan's emotions were ups and downs, and he held back, "I told you I won't eat. If you don't want to take me to the hospital, I can just take a taxi myself."

"If you don't eat two meals, do you think you are invincible?" Huo Minzheng's voice became colder.

During lunch time, Cao Fang brought food in, but she didn't take a bite.

"my mother……"

Fu Yan suddenly thought that she was pregnant now. She really didn't care about her body that much, but she was no longer alone. She had a child.

She hesitated for a second and had lost her choice.

"Qin Heng is watching from the hospital." Huo Minzheng said lightly.

As expected, Fu Yan calmed down.

Cao Fang packed the porridge back. I don’t know how he persuaded Aunt Wang and brought back some side dishes.

The aroma of raw beef porridge filled the carriage. Huo Minzheng lowered the window and lit a cigarette.

His knuckled hands rested on the window sill, and the colorful lights on the street shone on his face. In the floating light and shadow, he said, "Fu Jing speaks for you. Jingshu wants to terminate the engagement with him."
