Chapter 312: Chapter 312

Mr. Jiu cast a cold glance at Lu Lu, his icy gaze enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

He walked towards her slowly, radiating a sense of oppressive authority:

"Lu Qing, is this how you protect Little Jin’er?"

"Sorry, it was my oversight."

Mr. Jiu let out a cold sneer: "Do you think a single apology can cover everything? Old Third, break one of her arms first."

Lu Lu hadn’t yet realized what was happening when a man dressed in black appeared in front of her, seized her arm, and with a sharp crack, dislocated her bone and snapped it forcibly!

Lu Lu let out a heart-wrenching scream, but Old Third roughly covered her mouth. Mr. Jiu gazed at her as if she were nothing more than trash.

"Your sister—if you can’t bring yourself to act, I will. She ought to be praying that Little Jin’er is fine. Otherwise, her life will be mine to take."

Everyone present shuddered, especially Lu Lu, who had been pampered all her life and had never endured anything .

Even though Lu Qing had spoken harshly to her earlier, she had only been panicked, instinctively not believing he would truly harm her.

But this man, from the depths of her soul, terrified her! He would kill her—he really would kill her!

At that moment, the light above the operating room flickered off. Qin Miaomiao was wheeled out. She was already awake, and fainting from menstrual cramps was embarrassing enough. But being sent to the hospital? Now that was humiliation that reached her ancestors’ homes.

Opening her eyes again, she caught sight of Ninth Uncle and Lu Qing present. She... should she just close her eyes and pretend to faint again?

Lu Qing immediately stepped forward and asked the doctor, "Is my wife alright? Was the baby saved?"

The OB-GYN doctor stared at him in bewilderment. Wh-where did a baby come from?

Was this some kind of elite-family charade about a fake pregnancy for sympathy? But this madam hadn’t privately slipped her a bribe asking her to lie. If she stated honestly it was just menstrual pain, would that cause severe consequences?

Especially since this man’s identity is no joke; even the hospital director had shown up.

Mr. Jiu, looking slightly tense, held Qin Miaomiao’s hand and said in a steady voice:

"Little Jin’er’s condition is what’s most important. Doctor, how is the patient?"

The doctor caught a glimpse of Mr. Jiu’s aura and inexplicably felt a chill spread down her back. Swallowing hard, she said carefully:

"Well, the patient doesn’t have any major health issues, just some uterine coldness that needs to be treated with herbal medicine. As for the baby..."

Lu Qing and Mr. Jiu looked at her with intense urgency. After all, this would have been Miao Miao’s first child!

If it were a son, he could inherit the Lu (Su) Family’s estates. Both of them coincidentally thought so.

Qin Miaomiao couldn’t tolerate it any longer and sat up, coughing once. Lu Qing immediately rushed over and anxiously said:

"Miao Miao, you’ve hurt yourself; you can’t act willfully. You must lie down."

Even Mr. Jiu’s expression softened a bit as he coaxed her gently:

"Yes, Little Jin’er, listen. Lie down, let’s not talk about the child anymore. You are what matters most."

What the hell?! She had only gotten her period; why was this suddenly about a child?

Lu Qing saw her troubled expression, worried that she was enduring pain but trying to comfort him, so he interrupted her immediately, his heart aching for her.

"Wife, don’t feel bad; I understand. Just lie down."

You understand what exactly!!!

"Little Jin’er, be good, lie down. This matter will not be brushed aside —Ninth Uncle will back you up."

Back me up for what!!! To hold my period accountable?

Qin Miaomiao, her face flushed red, shouted loudly, "I just got my period, okay? How did this turn into a miscarriage?!"

Lu Qing stared at her, shocked: "Didn’t you get it half a month ago?"

"Irregular cycles aren’t allowed?"

Everyone was utterly stunned. Silence fell over the room!
