Chapter 1636 The Child Fell

Ruan Yu had not sensed any murderous intent beforehand, so when the door was pushed open, she was overwhelmed by the dozens of mixed fragrances and forgot to dodge for a moment.

Two women threw themselves into her arms.

"Master, why do you feel so weak today? Hmm?"

"It also has a faint fragrance."

Neither of the two concubines looked up, and they continued to snuggle in Ruan Yu's arms.

The other wives and concubines stopped in their tracks and stopped smiling as soon as they saw who it was.

"Cough cough!" Ding Hao was extremely flustered.

He was truly afraid that Ruan Yu, in a fit of rage, would kill all his wives and concubines.

"Ok?"

"Ah! You're not the master!" The two women in Ruan Yu's arms looked up in alarm when they heard Ding Hao's voice from the side and quickly moved away from Ruan Yu's arms.

"Master, what's going on? Who is she?"

"Master, you're philandering again!"

"You promised that once you took one wife, you would never take another concubine! You liar!"

"Sir, you've gone too far!"

With more than a dozen mouths talking at the same time, Ruan Yu's head was about to explode from the noise.

Ding Hao shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"

"This... is the esteemed person I invited back! He's not what you think!"

"Find me an empty room." The women's fragrance was too strong, making Ruan Yu's nose feel a little uncomfortable.

She glanced at Ding Hao.

The latter quickly replied, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Watching the two leave, the wives and concubines were seething with resentment: "Master has so many excuses! Do you think we'll believe him this time?"

"Exactly! What kind of adult is she? She's so young, what kind of adult could she be?"

"This woman is no pushover, sisters, we can't let her into our Ding family!"

The Ding family already has enough concubines. The master often spends the night outside, so they rarely have the chance to meet. If there's another one, what's the difference between them and widows?

"Of course! Watch me!" A voluptuous concubine walked out gracefully, dressed very provocatively. Every smile and gesture of hers could steal a man's soul.

After Ding Hao escorted Ruan Yu to an empty room, he left the mansion.

The lord's urgent summons was most likely because of the entire squad of Qingyong soldiers killed by Ruan Yu. But it's alright, he's already come up with an excuse.

Ding Hao's wives and concubines were unaware of his departure. They only knew that he had accompanied Ruan Yu to the courtyard, and then he never came out again!

at night.

Only a small lamp was lit in the room.

Outside the courtyard, the wives and concubines lined up like thieves, their ears pressed against the wall, trying to hear something.

But it's so quiet, so quiet that I just want to sleep.

"Why is there no sound? Did the master finish so quickly?" they communicated telepathically.

"That shouldn't be! Master was a bit fast, but it shouldn't be this fast."

"We absolutely cannot let this woman stay. Quickly, go and call the master out." The voluptuous concubine was pushed into the courtyard.

She panicked for a moment, but quickly composed herself and walked slowly into the house with cat-like steps: "Master, Xiang'er missed you~"

"Master, are you asleep?"

With no response from inside, Xiang'er decided to push the door open and go in.

She was very favored, and even when she occasionally angered Ding Hao, he wouldn't blame her, taking it as just flirting.

Otherwise, she would never have dared to do that.

The moment his fingers touched the door, a woman's voice rang out from inside: "He's not here. Take another step, and you're dead!"

Ruan Yu emphasized the word "death" very heavily.

With a strong killing intent emanating from him, Xiang'er was immediately frightened. She staggered backward and accidentally fell down the steps.

"Ah!!" she cried out in surprise.

Blood immediately appeared beneath him.

Ruan Yu pushed open the door and went out. Under the moonlight, a pool of blood flowed from beneath Xiang'er's body.

The baby is in trouble.

"Xiang'er? Xiang'er!"

"Xiang'er, what's wrong with you!" The wives and concubines rushed over, pointing at Ruan Yu and starting to berate her: "Do you know that Xiang'er is pregnant! How dare you do this to her!"

"Oh no, oh no, he's bleeding! Quick, call the alchemist!"

"This is the master's first child. If anything happens to him, you will surely die!"

Xiang'er was in excruciating pain, her face deathly pale, yet she still managed to defend Ruan Yu: "No, no, it was me..."

But before she could finish speaking, she fainted.

The alchemist arrived, and together they carried Xiang'er to Ruan Yu's bed in her room.

After the alchemist's diagnosis, "The child cannot be saved."

The wives and concubines' expressions immediately turned grim: "Couldn't be saved? How could a mere fall be so serious?"

"I know! It must be you!" A concubine pointed at Ruan Yu, her eyes filled with hatred that she wished she could turn into a knife and kill Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu smiled and said, "Did you see me fight with her?"

"There were only the two of you at the time! Even if you didn't lay a hand on her, you're still responsible for her falling!"

“What can I do to her through a door?” Ruan Yu said.

The wives and concubines were unusually united: "You scared her! That's why she fell!"

“We all heard you. You said that if she took one more step, you would kill her!”

"Stop arguing, everyone! The master is back!"

Ding Hao had finally managed to fool his master and was planning to go out for a meal with some of his cronies when he heard that something had happened at home, so he rushed back.

"Xiang'er!"

After entering the room, he first exchanged a glance with Ruan Yu before running to the bedside.

Xiang'er fell into a coma.

At this moment, the bed sheets were stained red with her blood.

The alchemist, exhausted, cried out, "I'm so sorry, sir, the child couldn't be saved, and the mother too..."

Even though he didn't finish speaking, everyone guessed what he was going to say.

"You jinx! You caused Xiang'er to miscarry the moment you arrived! I'll beat you to death!"

"Waaaaah, Master, it's all her fault! She frightened Xiang'er, and that's why she fell down the steps!"

The wives and concubines pointed at Ruan Yu and wept bitterly.

Now they're all in the same boat; Xiang'er's accident was also due to their instigation. If we really investigate, they won't escape blame either!

Therefore, all the blame must be placed on this newcomer!

Ruan Yu said nothing, walked to the table, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea made with cold spring water.

I never expected that after so many years of cultivation, she would still encounter a power struggle within a family.

"Get out!" Ding Hao's face turned ashen. He slapped the concubine who had called Ruan Yu a jinx across the face. She was sent flying out of the door and crashed heavily to the ground, writhing in pain and unable to make a sound.

"master……"

The wives and concubines were terrified.

The master had never shown such a terrifying side to them before.

It seems that Xiang'er's matter has indeed upset the master.

“Xiang’er is a fourth-level immortal, and she can lose her child with just a fall? Do you think I’m stupid?” Ding Hao’s cold gaze swept over the faces of each of his wives and concubines. “Whoever did this, step forward! I might even grant you a complete corpse.”

What?! Xiang'er actually has such a high level of cultivation?

One of the concubines clenched her fingers nervously, biting her lips until they turned white.
