After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 152: Helped Xiao Hanzheng To Take The Blame

Ge Chunru woke up and saw Xiao Yuanshi sitting by her bed.

She hurriedly got up but was stopped by Xiao Yuanshi's embrace. "The doctor said that you are at risk of having a miscarriage. Be careful."

Ge Chunru was stunned when she heard this. "What? Are you saying that I'm pregnant?"

Previously, in order to give Xiao Yuanshi sufficient reason to demote Mdm Kong to a concubine, she could only use the foetus in her belly as her bargaining chip.

However, the moment the child was aborted, she was heartbroken and hated Mdm Kong even more.

Yet, she did not regret it.

If not for that incident, she would not have been Xiao Yuanshi's legal wife.

She was of course pleasantly surprised when she was suddenly expecting.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at Ge Chunru's belly with a gentle expression. "Not bad, we're going to have a child."

He was looking forward to this child very much.

Ge Chunru was delighted at first, but her expression suddenly changed.

She grabbed Xiao Yuanshi and asked, "General, was I dreaming just now? I dreamt that the housekeeper said someone chopped off my younger brother's leg. That's not true, right?"

Xiao Yuanshi hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell his petite wife the truth.

After all, the doctor said that she had just survived great shock, so her foetus' condition wasn't very stable.

However, when he hesitated, Ge Chunru understood as she knew him very well.

"Where's my brother? Where's my brother?" She anxiously tugged at Xiao Yuanshi's clothes as she asked.

Xiao Yuanshi sighed. "I asked the physician to bandage his wound. He has already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine."

Previously, when his brother-in-law had cried out in pain, he had asked the imperial physician to give him some anaesthesia.

Ge Chunru lifted her blanket. "I want to see him."

Xiao Yuanshi also knew how much his wife valued his younger brother, so he helped her up. "I'll bring you to see him."

The two of them went to Ge Chunyi's courtyard.

As soon as they entered the room, Ge Chunru smelled the stench of blood.

When she saw her brother lying on the bed with a pale face, her heart ached so much that tears welled up in her eyes.

She lifted the blanket with trembling hands and saw that her brother's left leg was gone.

The cloth wrapping his leg was stained red with blood.

"Ah!" She could not help but scream in anger.

Xiao Yuanshi immediately went over and hugged her. "The imperial physician said that he would be fine."

Ge Chunru turned her head and looked at him with a face full of tears. "He's fine? His leg was chopped off by someone. This is called fine?

"Who did it? Tell me, who did it?" She was about to lose her mind.

In the previous dynasty, the Ge family held a high social status, but after the war, they were forced to live in seclusion in the countryside.

She was born in a village, but she often heard her father sharing about their family's glorious moments.
