A modern doctor of traditional Chinese medicine wakes up one day to find herself in the middle of childbirth.
Wait, that midwife’s hands are moving wrong, and the warm water has musk mixed into it. This isn’t a birth at all, they’re trying to kill both mother and child!
She knocks out the midwife and, after tremendous effort, gives birth. But once she passes out, they toss her into a woodshed and plan to put her in a pig cage alongside the family’s servant, her supposed lover. How could things get any more miserable?
…
Ling Wujiu taps the table lightly, his narrow, alluring eyes full of provocation. “Third Brother, Ruyue is my wife now, and our child will inherit my title. Go back to wherever you came from.”
“Outrageous! Ruyue is my wife, and Yuexuan is my son. If you don’t return my wife and child today, I’ll turn the capital upside down!” Third Prince Ling Mofan slams the table, murder in his eyes.
Just as the two sides are about to come to blows, a clear, bright voice suddenly rings out.
“What are you making all that noise in my clinic for? I don’t want either of you. Get out!”
“Third Brother, I was a little harsh just now. Don’t be angry.”
“Second Brother, I shouldn’t have threatened you just now.”
Their sharp gazes meet, but their voices are gentle.
They might cause a scene in the Golden Hall, but they wouldn’t dare stir up trouble here…
