Looking at Li Shuangtong's expression, Li Manting became even more impatient. She brushed away the small hand that tightly gripped her sleeve and impatiently said, "The ice cellar is so cold, how could there be any sound? If Third Sister wants to go in and take a look, Second Sister will have to go back by herself." With that, he didn't bother with her anymore and turned to leave.

Li Shuangtong was already a bit scared, but seeing that she was about to leave, she naturally refused to look around by herself. Immediately, she locked the ice cellar door and chased after Li Manting while calling out, "Second Sis, wait for me."

"Big sister, this time it's all thanks to you helping me." Yu Juan giggled as she sent Cai Yun out of her room.

When Cai Yun came out, he realized that Madame Zhou was still waiting for him to get the ice cubes, so he sped up his pace.

As soon as he opened the icehouses, he saw Madame Zhou lying unconscious on the ground. His heart was in a fluster, but he couldn't think of anything to say.

She threw herself at Madame Zhou. When she held onto her, she could feel that her entire body was ice-cold. Caiyun tearfully took in Madame Zhou, but no matter how she called out to her, she couldn't wake her up.

Cai Yun had no choice but to quickly run towards the side chamber.

"Madam." Caiyun had just run to the side hall to see Lady Wang when she hurriedly said, "Madame, quickly go see Madame Zhou. Madame Zhou fainted in the ice cellar."

"What?" Lady Wang looked at Caiyun with some shock. With an ugly expression, she said to her wife, "Other than a few matters, I would like to take a look first. I hope everyone doesn't mind."

After the others heard Lady Wang's words, they all echoed her sentiments, "That is only natural. Madam, you should handle the matters of the estate first."

Wang Shi nodded and did not say anything else. It was not good for the others in the side chamber to follow them out to watch a joke.

Along the way, Lady Wang asked all the reasons why she changed. It was hard to tell whether she was in a good or bad mood as she tightly pursed her lips. On the way, Caiyun's heart trembled a few times.

"Carry Madame Zhou back first, then send someone to inform the old master and the medicine man to come over." Lady Wang stood in front of the ice cellar, looking at the now pale and pale Madame Zhou as she laid on the ground.

After the maidservants helped Aunt Zhou up and saw the pool of blood on the ground, they were so frightened that they cried out. Of course, Lady Wang saw all of this.

His gaze swept across the few maidservants who were holding on to Aunt Zhou. After seeing that they were all so frightened by him that they stopped talking, he finally said, "Take Aunt Zhou back!"

"Master." Li Xiangnan had sent some of the guests away after he found out about what had happened. Only then did he quickly come over. He looked at Aunt Zhou, whose lips were a little purple from the cold. He clenched his fists and asked, "What's going on?" There was a hint of anger in his voice.

Lady Wang bit her lips and forced herself to calm down before she explained, "It's just that the room was too stuffy, so I sent Caiyun to the icehouse to get some ice cubes. On the way, Caiyun was tripped by Yujuan, while Madame Zhou herself rushed to the icehouse to get some ice cubes. Somehow, she was locked inside."

Lady Wang spoke truthfully while asking questions about Caiyun along the way. At this moment, the medicine woman stood up, shook her head at Li Xiangnan, and said with a regretful expression, "It's been cold for too long. This concubine can't protect her baby any longer, so I'll write a prescription and get some medicine for you to recuperate your body!" Otherwise, it will be hard to have children in the future. " However, what he said wasn't true. After being frozen in the ice cellar for two hours, his body had already suffered from the cold and the pregnant rate had been greatly reduced.

When Li Shuangtong, who had walked to the door, heard the doctor's words, her body trembled with an expression of disbelief. She rushed in and shouted at the doctor, "You're lying, right?

Ever since they knew that Madame Zhou was pregnant, both mother and daughter had relied on her womb. Now that it was gone without a trace, how could she be willing?

"I'll be troubling you with the medical treatment." Li Xiangnan also knew that this matter had already reached a conclusion. With an ashen face, he asked, "Who went to the icehouse today?"

"Daughter, your daughter went to the icehouse today to get ice for her young misses, but your daughter really didn't know that Auntie Zhou was in the icehouse!" Upon hearing Li Xiangnan's question, Li Shuangtong immediately kneeled on the ground in tears as she explained.

Seeing Li Xiangnan's cold eyes, she shrank back in fear and continued, "Second sister was accompanying my daughter today. However, my daughter only heard some sound in the ice cellar and wanted to check it out. Second sister didn't want to let my daughter go. If father does not believe you, you can ask second sister. "

When Li Manting saw Li Shuangtong luring the fire towards her, her pair of eyes glared hatefully at Li Die. If she hadn't asked her to accompany him, how would she have gotten herself into such a mess?

Li Die was thinking about this with her head lowered. She didn't notice Li Manting's expression, but Li Wanlan, who was standing quietly on the side, noticed it and didn't say anything.

"At that time, my daughter didn't hear any sound coming from the icehouse. She only thought that Third Sister was joking with my daughter!" Li Manting was so scared that she quickly kneeled on the ground and said, now the matter was clear. It was Li Shuangtong herself who had inadvertently locked her birth mother in the ice cellar, causing her to slip away from the child in her womb.

"Master, our child." Aunt Zhou woke up from her sleep on the bed, her face full of tears.

Having lost a child in the first place had made Li Xiangnan extremely frustrated. Now that he heard Li Xiangnan's wailing again, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Li Shuangtong saw that Madame Zhou had woken up, so she scrambled to kneel in front of her. Her small face was already covered in tears as she looked up at her and said, "Aunt Zhou, I really didn't know you were in the ice cellar. I didn't mean to let your child die. How could I have hurt him? "

Li Xiangnan didn't even look at Aunt Zhou as he instructed, "Caiyun and Yujuan caused Aunt Zhou to have a miscarriage, so they sold it! "Aunt Liu didn't manage to discipline her very well, so she's been grounded for a month." After which, he walked out.

"My concubine is willing to accept my punishment." When Aunt Liu saw that Li Xiangnan and Lady Wang had only bowed, she didn't say anything else and returned to her own courtyard. She had a weak personality to begin with, so perhaps this was the best course of action for her!

Only Madame Zhou was left in the room, sobbing. Li Shuangtong thought to comfort her back, stretched out her hand, and then put it down.

Seeing her somewhat leathered mouth, she ran to the table and poured a cup of water before handing it to Madame Zhou. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Mother, first drink a cup of water to moisten your throat!"
