Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 318 - 331: Grounded

Mrs. Gui just thought she couldn’t accept the blow for a moment, and tearfully advised, "Young Madam, you’re young, only concerned about not wanting to give the young master a child, but you don’t know the severity of it. Our bodies as women can’t withstand such damage. You must listen to the doctor’s advice. Why didn’t you stop the medication when the doctor told you to stop a few months ago?"

Su Xingyu’s face turned pale. Whatever she said now was useless and no one would believe her.

Everyone thought she was the one who took the contraceptive pills, leading to infertility, but she didn’t even know where the pills she took in the last three months had come from!

Could it be...

Were they put in the food?!

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. She carefully mulled over the food she had eaten in the past three months. Breakfast was impossible; it was eaten at home. Dinner was also impossible; it was also eaten at home. But what about lunch? She frowned. Most of the time, she had lunch with Lu Shifeng at his office, eating the meals prepared in the company headquarters’ canteen and sent over. If someone wanted to tamper with her food, that was the most likely point!

She struggled to get up from the bed. "I have to find out!"

Not just to clear her name, but for her future child. She wanted a baby so much; she didn’t want to be unable to have children for life!

But Mrs. Gui stopped her. "Young Madam, please lie down and rest. The young master said you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Just rest quietly and don’t make him angry again!"

Mrs. Gui had never seen Lu Shifeng so angry. After returning from the wedding, he seemed like a demon from hell, capable of casting anyone who defied him into eternal suffering. Looking at Su Xingyu’s thin body covered with wounds under her nightdress, Mrs. Gui really couldn’t bear to see her provoke Lu Shifeng again and face such terrifying consequences.

But Su Xingyu still insisted weakly and staggered towards the door. "No, I must find out!"

"Young Madam!" Mrs. Gui stopped her, tearfully pleading, "Please, just lie down. Even if I can’t bear to stop you, there’s the butler, the driver, and the bodyguards downstairs! They’ve all received orders from the young master and won’t let you out! Once the villa’s gates are closed, where can you go?"

"Bodyguards?" She was taken aback. Normally, there aren’t bodyguards at home.

"Yes," Mrs. Gui said. "The young master specifically ordered them this morning to prevent you from running out!"

Su Xingyu’s body wobbled slightly, feeling a bit dizzy.

Ha... Lu Shifeng.

He wouldn’t clear her name or listen to her explanation but did everything to guard against her!

A crystal-clear tear unconsciously trickled down her cheek. Suddenly, she felt disheartened and slowly sank back onto the bed.

Mrs. Gui felt very pained but didn’t know how to console her, so she tried to force a comforting smile and said, "That’s more like it. Young Madam, rest a while. I’ll fetch some fresh water for you." Saying this, she picked up the white towel stained with blood from the edge of the bed and placed it into the basin, now tinted a dirty red, to take it away.

Su Xingyu lifelessly shook her head and said, "No need."

Mrs. Gui was surprised, "But your wounds..."

"Who cares about this body of mine?" she said with a somewhat bleak smile, as if talking to herself, but also speaking to Mrs. Gui. Having said that, she curled up like a wounded little beast, motionless.

Daylight was long...

When Lu Shifeng returned home, the sky was full of stars.

Today, Mrs. Gui greeted him in the foyer, taking his coat off dutifully, not daring to make a sound.

He suddenly felt a bit unaccustomed. For the past few months, it was always that obedient girl, as gentle as a rabbit, who would greet him, tiptoeing to remove his coat, her faint fragrance lingering near his nose. He couldn’t help but ask, "Where is she?"

"You mean the Young Madam?" Mrs. Gui quickly replied, cautiously, "She was hurt and only woke up at noon. After having just half a bowl of porridge, she lay back in bed, staring out the window in a daze. Young master, should we get the doctor to see her again? Her body won’t hold up like this."

Lu Shifeng’s expression was icy. That woman, did she not think her body couldn’t withstand it when she was taking contraceptives?

"Did she have dinner?"

"Not yet," Mrs. Gui answered more cautiously, "I made some chicken soup, gave her a bowl, and she threw up after a couple of sips."

Threw up?

Lu Shifeng sneered slightly. She really did a good job pretending to be fragile!

But did she think this would make him go easy on her?

Impossible.

He ordered, "Call the family doctor over."

When the family doctor came, he was accompanied by several assistants, bringing various equipment, turning their bedroom into a makeshift clinic.

Ignoring her weak struggles, Lu Shifeng pulled her up, pushing her onto the machinery for examination.

She recoiled in fear, "Lu Shifeng, what are you doing? Let go of me!" But she couldn’t fight against his strength. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Lu Shifeng held her arm like an iron clamp, his voice cold, "Be good." He then asked the family doctor, "What’s the result?"

The family doctor frowned, "The results are the same as yesterday. The Young Madam’s body is severely damaged due to contraceptive use, and she is likely unable to conceive for life. As for the vomiting during dinner, it’s probably a gastrointestinal spasm caused by emotional stress; such reactions occasionally occur when someone is in distress."

Distress?

Lu Shifeng looked coldly at Su Xingyu. After being deceived for so long, the one who should feel distressed should be him.

"Did you bring what I asked you to bring?" Lu Shifeng asked the family doctor.

The family doctor glanced at him cautiously and then couldn’t help but look at Su Xingyu, who was being held like a little rabbit, despondently. "Ovulation induction shots? Yes, I brought them... But, young master, I really advise against it. Given the Young Madam’s current condition, it’s not suitable for such injections. It’s too harsh and may cause further harm to her body. My advice is to let the Young Madam recuperate slowly. Over time, as her body strengthens, we can explore other ways to see if there is a chance for conception."

Lu Shifeng said, "I don’t have that patience."

Held by him, Su Xingyu’s legs felt weak as she listened to their conversation, and a sense of foreboding arose in her heart. She trembled and asked, "What are ovulation induction shots?"

Lu Shifeng looked down at her, a hidden bloodthirsty violence in his eyes. "They stimulate ovulation, to make you pregnant." It’s a common treatment for infertility but generally used when a woman’s body is healthy and fit for pregnancy. But she was now as weak as a sickly kitten.

Su Xingyu’s face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but struggle again. "I don’t want the shot!"
