Chapter 71: Lu Yanshen Has a Fever

Lady Lao, one use of the self‑sacrifice scheme is enough.

Xie Wantang expressed her attitude calmly and firmly.

The last time, she had already sent the medicine.

She also understood that Old Master Land acted that way only because Lady Lao did not want them to divorce.

Last time, knowing she was pregnant, they naturally wanted to stop the divorce, also to preserve the Lu Family bloodline.

But no matter how effective a method is, using it a second time will not yield any good result.

Xie Wantang, can you really not stand Xia Meng? You should know she is like you; you are the Qin Family's adopted daughter, and Xia Meng is our Lu Family's adopted daughter.

She, like me, calls the eldest brother, second brother, and the sister‑in‑law by those titles, and they all accept her; why can't you? Aren't you being overly petty?

Lu Rourou saw Xie Wantang give her grandmother no face; her grandmother had already lowered herself to this level, and she still said that one use of the self‑sacrifice scheme is enough?

Is her heart made of reinforced concrete?

How can it be so hard?

The second brother has been lying in the hospital for three days, and in those three days, Xie Wantang never appeared there even once.

She knows they intend to divorce, but hasn't it not happened yet?

Are they still husband and wife, and she refuses to even go through the formalities?

Miss Lu, I'm not like Miss Xia; yes, we are both adopted daughters, but adopted daughters are not the same. She only joined your Lu Family midway, whereas I was sent to the Qin Family shortly after birth.

Second, I'm an adopted daughter, so I behave properly; I have no ambiguous relations with my three brothers.

……

In other words, Xia Meng is involved with Lu Yanshen, so can she still be a simple, ordinary adopted daughter?

Lu Rourou wanted to say something else, but found it hard to argue.

Indeed, Xia Meng's relationship with her second brother is indeed ambiguous.

Dongdong is not the second brother's child, yet she looks strikingly like him.

So, Xie Wantang, you have thought it through, and today you're here to tell us this decision, right? Lady Lao said coolly, calmly.

Lady Lao, Lu Yanshen has already signed, I want nothing else; that is already my greatest sincerity toward you.

And what about the child in your womb? Lady Lao asked unwillingly.

Whatever amount Xie Wantang asks for, she will give.

Money, the Lu Family has plenty.

What she wants is the child in Xie Wantang's womb.

But she also knows that if she can't control Xie Wantang and pushes the girl too hard, the result will be disaster.

She can't afford that gamble.

Then the one growing in my womb is naturally mine.

Fine, I understand. Then you and Yanshen should go through the procedures; the Lu Family will not intervene. Lady Lao gave her promise.

"Grandmother—" Lu Rourou couldn't believe that her grandmother would just let Xie Wantang go.

She even allowed her to take away the Lu Family's seed.

According to her, they should force Xie Wantang to abort in the hospital before letting the second brother process the divorce with her.

Otherwise, if Xie Wantang actually gives birth to the Lu Family's child, who knows whether she will later use the child to coerce the Lu Family into some profit exchange?

Such a future trouble should not be left.

"Thank you, Lady Lao," Xie Wantang nodded.

She said that among the whole Lu Family, Lady Lao is the most sensible.

The one she dislikes the least is also Lady Lao.

"Rourou, go call your elder sister‑in‑law," Lady Lao shouted at Lu Rourou.

Lu Rourou didn't want to go, but had to.

Soon, Liu Shiyue arrived, and when Xie Ningmeng took her pulse, even Madam Lu fell silent.

Xie Ningmeng's reputation is well known; Madam Lu also hopes Liu Shiyue will soon bear Yanze's child, so at this moment she was very honest and forced Lu Rourou to remain absolutely quiet.

After finishing the pulse, Xie Ningmeng looked at Lady Lao and said, "Lady Lao, the Eldest Young Lady's health is fine, no need for treatment."

"But she has been married to our eldest son for almost two years and still has no news; what's going on?" Lady Lao sighed.

The older generation's view is that if a woman cannot bear children, her body must have a problem.

Modern medicine tells us that if a woman cannot bear children and examinations show no issue, then it is definitely the man's problem.

Changing the man might result in a house full of grandchildren.

"Is the Eldest Young Master at home? I can take his pulse again on his behalf."

Madam Lu was displeased, suspecting that her son's health was in question?

"The eldest son went to the group with his father," Old Master Land said.

"How about your family stays home today for a simple meal; at noon I'll have the father and son return," Lady Lao said.

"No, we won't. The two children are about to divorce, and our families aren't in-laws; let's do it another day, or when the Eldest Young Master has time, he can go to Haishi, and then no registration is needed; my wife can also take his pulse," Qin Siyuan declined.

"We've had enough of this place for Tang Bao; we're also eager to bring her home."

"Leave the remaining matters to her elder brother to handle."

Qin Siyuan declined Lady Lao's invitation to have them dine at the Lu Family.

The Qin Family doesn't need this Lu Family meal.

"So eager to go back?" Lady Lao looked at Xie Wantang.

She hadn't expected that the Qin Siyuan couple would come this time and so quickly take Xie Wantang away.

"Our Tang Bao, our most treasured three years, have been given to your family; it's your family that doesn't cherish her, but those three years she gave willingly, so we won't say more."

Let's go, wife, Tang Bao.

Okay. The mother and daughter replied with a smile.

Thus, Xie Wantang left the Lu family.

No one stopped her.

No one dared to stop her.

After returning to the hotel, the eldest son of the Qin family understood his parents' thoughts and immediately opened his laptop, drafting a letter of entrustment.

The original ID, a photocopy of the original letter of entrustment, and Xie Wantang's thumbprint seal—all the agency paperwork was finished.

"I have friends here too; I'll give them a call and it can be done today." Qin Siyuan was the most anxious, wishing he could make his family's Tang Bao regain single status in minutes.

"Hmm." Qin Muyang nodded, "Then we'll use Dad's connections; I actually have some too."

So, their family's trip to the Lu residence today was actually unnecessary; it was Xie Ningmeng who said they should show respect, after all, they had once been in-laws.

They couldn't get close, but they also shouldn't offend.

No matter what, the Lu family is a local tyrant in Sijiucheng; even if they have connections here, if things go wrong, the wasted time would be theirs.

Xie Ningmeng can't afford to waste time; she must return by the day after tomorrow at the latest, as many booked patients are waiting for her.

"Then it's settled; the whole family will pitch in to help Tang Bao escape the sea of suffering as soon as possible."

"Dad, isn't it already over? Just the paperwork left, and that's not too hard for the eldest brother." The Qin family's second son corrected.

"That's true; let's go for hot pot that night to celebrate. Tang Bao has a gorgeous female friend—you three should put on a good show together."

The Qin brothers: "……"

Xie Wantang contacted Xu Yanqiu, but Xu Yanqiu had something come up and couldn't make it.

Xie Wantang had no choice but to give up.

Just as the family was preparing their big reunion dinner and heading out, Xie Wantang received a call from Xia Meng:

"Miss Xie, Yanshen has a fever; could you please come to the hospital?"
