Chapter 111 Her body was injured, making it difficult to conceive again.
The horse ranch outside the city is quite large.
But Shen Siyi felt that the venue was not suitable for her to demonstrate her horseback riding skills, so she ignored everyone and went straight into the woods.
The horses continued their rapid pace, raising dust wherever they went.
Shen Siyi leaned down to reduce resistance, her eyes fixed on the century-old tree in front of her. She knew that Zhang Yue had been left behind.
She wanted to win, and she wanted to win beautifully, so she didn't slow down.
A century-old tree with protruding roots.
Shen Siyi pulled on the reins, wanting the horse to gallop forward.
But for some reason, the horse leaped much lower than he had expected.
Before Shen Siyi could react, the horse's forelegs tripped over a protruding tree root.
In an instant, everyone was thrown off balance, and Shen Siyi was flung out.
Although she was the daughter of a family of military generals, her martial arts skills were not good enough to save herself.
It was too fast; she couldn't even react before she lunged forward.
It only stopped when it bumped into a tree in front of it.
But after hitting the tree, there was a hoe that had been abandoned for a long time right below it.
Shen Siyi leaned over and felt a sharp pain in her abdomen before she realized the hoe was there.
Shen Siyi fainted on the spot.
The dust kicked up by Shen Siyi's horse was too much, obstructing Zhang Yue's vision and causing him to slow down. It was a quarter of an hour later when he finally spotted Shen Siyi.
What was supposed to be a gathering of young masters and ladies ended with Shen Siyi falling from her horse and getting injured.
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is in complete disarray.
In seven days, it will be Shen Siyi and Xiao Jingyu's engagement banquet.
Now that something has happened, this is bad luck.
The Duke of Zhenguo, Shen Zhong, thoroughly investigated the matter.
But this was caused by Shen Siyi's greed for speed and refusal to change horses. There was nothing else, and no trace of framing was found. Even if someone is blamed, no one can be blamed.
The imperial physician examined and treated Shen Siyi in the room.
The Duchess outside was already sobbing uncontrollably. An hour later, she saw the imperial physician come out from inside, wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, and went up to ask him what was wrong.
"Physician Zhao, how is my daughter?"
"Reporting to Madam, Miss Shen is out of danger, but she suffered a broken rib after hitting the tree and needs to rest!"
The Duchess's tears, which she had just wiped away, flowed again, but thankfully, she survived.
But what Physician Zhao said next caused her to faint immediately.
"Madam, Miss Shen's most serious injury is not her broken ribs, but her abdomen. The hoe has pierced directly into her body, and the rust on the hoe is harmful to the wound. I'm afraid Miss Shen will have difficulty having children again!"
Physician Zhao realized he had been too absolute, and added, "However, with proper care in the future, perhaps..."
"Madam, Madam..."
Physician Zhao spoke too late; Zhang had already fainted.
To avoid affecting the wedding, Duke Shen Zhong of Zhenguo kept the news a secret, and when asked again, he simply said that his ribs were broken.
But in the past two days, some beast has spread the word that Miss Shen of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has damaged her reproductive organs and will be unable to have children in the future.
These words also reached Empress Shen's ears.
As the head of the harem, Empress Shen could not easily leave the palace, so she had to send Xiao Jingyu to test whether the rumors were true.
After all, she is the future fourth prince's wife, and whether she can bear children is very important.
"Uncle, how is Siyi?"
Shen Zhong knew why Xiao Jingyu had come, and he had also heard the rumors, but he couldn't suppress them no matter what he tried, as if someone was deliberately spreading them.
In the past two days, many doctors have come to treat her, and even experienced gynecologists and midwives have come to check on Shen Siyi's health.
The answers received were all the same: the body was damaged, and the person is unable to reproduce.
This would be devastating harm to the woman.
Shen Zhong knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he said hastily, "Your Highness, no one expected Yi'er to be injured. Yi'er is still unconscious. If Yi'er knew that Your Highness cares about her so much, she would surely be very happy!"
Xiao Jingyu finished her tea and asked directly, "So... the rumors are true?"
Shen Zhong frowned slightly, "No matter what happens to Yi'er in the future, Your Highness and I are blood relatives, and I will always stand by Your Highness's side!"
"With the recent proliferation of smuggled salt, I have almost finished investigating this matter. Soon, once the evidence is conclusive, it will appear on Your Highness's desk!"
Shen Zhong had no other choice. Her daughter was the future fourth prince's wife, and the engagement was just around the corner, but this happened.
If the engagement was called off because of the injury, then it would be impossible for her daughter to marry into the royal family again.
Regardless, he had to ensure the wedding went smoothly.
Xiao Jingyu was also a fool; he understood what Shen Zhong meant by those words.
Shen wanted to use his achievements in investigating smuggled salt to make a deal with him.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle!"
Xiao Jingyu offered Shen Zhong a cup of tea instead of wine to show his acceptance.
He didn't like Shen Siyi, which was fine. He could marry Shen Siyi and get the help of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and he could also tell Qin Wan that he didn't marry Shen Siyi because of love.
The two drank the tea, each knowing the truth in their hearts.
"The Empress Dowager said that Siyi's recovery is the priority, and the marriage is not going to change. It's fine to skip the engagement ceremony. We can just put our fingerprints on the engagement certificate when the betrothal gifts arrive in a few days."
"Then the wedding date..."
"The wedding date remains unchanged!"
Hearing this, Shen Zhong was relieved and smiled as he saw Xiao Jingyu out of the mansion.
However, he still suspected that someone was behind this, and that the person spreading the rumors was the same person who had injured Yi'er that day.
......
With the news spreading so widely, how could Qin Wan not have heard about it?
Guangde Tower.
Xiao Jingyan finally got to eat the roast duck she had been longing for.
He spread the crystal pancakes on a small plate, picked up a slice of meat, dipped it in sauce, placed it on the pancake, added some shredded scallions and cucumber, rolled it up, and ate it in one bite.
However, this first one is for Qin Wan.
Xiao Jingyan placed the rolled-up roast duck on Qin Wan's small plate.
Regardless of whether Qin Wan had started eating or not, he couldn't resist rolling one up for himself.
Looking at Xiao Jingyan's drooling expression, Qin Wan couldn't reconcile the image of him as the person who framed Shen Siyi.
The person in front of him only thought about eating, drinking, and having fun. Even when someone pointed at him and cursed him in the street, he seemed completely oblivious.
How could it be him?
And it was done so flawlessly.
Qin Wan was puzzled, but if it wasn't him, how could she explain what Nian Qi had said earlier?
'Miss, please wait...'
"Wan'er, you've just recovered from your cold, but you've lost a lot of weight. Eat quickly, while it's hot!"
Qin Wan nodded, put the rolled-up roast duck in her mouth and chewed; it was indeed delicious.
That day, Shen Siyi caused her to fall into the water and she caught a cold. She has only just recovered and hasn't figured out how to get revenge yet. But then came the rumor that Shen Siyi had fallen off her horse.
Although it was very gratifying, she knew things weren't that simple.
Just as the two were enjoying their meal, the door to the room was kicked open from the outside.
"Qin Wan, were you behind Siyi's affair?"
Qin Wan recognized the man; he was Zhang Yue, the son of the Marquis of Zhongyi.
Zhang Yue and Qin Yi were on good terms; Qin Wan had met them a few times.
Zhang Yue was followed by his sister Zhang Xiyue and some thugs.
Qin Wan composed herself, still shaken from the earlier fright, and denied it, saying, "What evidence do you have to prove that?"
"Five days ago, you had a conflict with Siyi at Daming Lake, which was witnessed by many people. Therefore, you held a grudge and plotted to frame her, causing her to unfortunately fall from her horse..."
