Chapter 687: New laws, new troubles
Yu Dong was not in the condition to take a hold of herself or her anger but she knew that Shen Li was right even though she felt like the entire world was coming crashing down, she still have to get a hold of herself! Because she was not the one who was going to suffer the most, it was Fang Chi and for his sake, she will have to take a hold of herself.
She closed her eyes and she clenched her fingers as tightly as she could before she released her breath and then raised her head to look at Wu Junfen as she asked, "So, is Chi all right?"
"He is all right at the moment, even though the poison has filled his womb, your daughter…she seemed to have sucked all the poison and protected her daddy and little brother," Wu Junfen was very shocked to find that behind the young mer, a small little baby girl was fighting for her life as well. They didn't have anything that would help them do an ultrasound of Fang Chi's belly and since the girl was poisoned right from the start, she never made any movements making it impossible for them to detect her.
She patted Yu Dong who looked crushed at the news and continued, " The little girl was going to be born as a stillborn since she was poisoned bit by bit, Yu Dong. Maybe your daughter knew how to protect her daddy and brother as well, she fought for a long time but the thing is that her body can no longer consume any more poison which led to Fang Chi and the little mer getting sick at the same time."
As Yu Dong's complexion turned paler and paler, Wu Junfen reached out and held her arms. She then said, "I know that you must be going through something really painful at this moment but you need to make a choice, Yu Dong. Do you need me to keep your stillborn corpse in Fang Chi's womb and let the poison in her body affect both Fang Chi and your son? Or do you want me to take her out? If we take her out now, Fang Chi's womb and your son will still be able to make out alive but if you want to take your chances and keep the young girl then I can only say that you have to be prepared for the risks that will come with it. Maybe you lose your son as well since the body of the stillborn is full of poison."
Behind them Chen Mi who couldn't take the news anymore collapsed on the floor, he looked at Wu Junfen with despair in his eyes.
"A daughter…. Someone killed our daughter…"Chen Mi muttered as he covered his face with his shaking hands. No one other than a mer knew the importance of a daughter, the fact that a daughter was growing up inside Fang Chi was the greatest security for them as long as their family had a daughter they would have been able to secure their future and the businesses that they were doing.
But now that daughter was gone, Fang Chi's womb has taken a blow and no one knew when Shen Li and Ye Liu will be able to recover from the poison as well, even his womb was not answering his call and he was no longer able to get pregnant as he wanted to ——at such a moment, the fact that the daughter in Fang Chi's womb was killed, it was crushing!
Shen Li closed his eyes in pain—— the pain and torture that he was going through at this moment was really something that he never wished for anyone to go through like ever. The birth of a daughter was really important now that the imperial family was going through a change and new laws was being implemented.
He knew that if Yu Dong did not get an heir then she will have to start paying the imperial family taxes that were paid by women who did not have any heir until they got one as per the new rule, what was more the authorities will start to keep an eye on Yu Dong and her business as well after her first marriage reaches eight years. If she did not get a daughter then the authorities will have her sign that she will hand over the properties that she owned to the imperial family ——-
And everyone knew that once that document was signed, Yu Dong will not survive. The imperial authorities will not let her live!
They were already married for more than four years and soon they will be walking in their fifth year.. will he be able to get pregnant in the next three years when he was poisoned for five years? He did not think so …but that was not the most important thing.
The thing that he cared about the most was that Fang Chi will be crushed when he finds out that his daughter was lost!
Ye Liu slumped on the table behind him in a daze as he shook his head. "Chi will not be able to take it…he will die …he will seriously die once he finds out that he lost his daughter."
He knew how much Fang Chi wanted a daughter, even though Yu Dong has told them that she did not care whether the child was a mer or a daughter or a son, Fang Chi still wished wholeheartedly to give birth to a daughter for Yu Dong.
He wanted to make sure that he was some use to Yu Dong by giving her a daughter. At least with a daughter in her arms, Yu Dong would have been able to escape from the eyes of the authorities and save her family and the trouble that will come with it.
But now if one of them did not get pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in three years then everything that they have worked hard for will be taken away by the imperial family.
On top of that Fang Chi…what will he do when he finds out that his daughter was no longer with him?
