Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

122: abortionTime flies, years pass like a shuttle, and time slips away as swiftly as a white steed crossing a gap. On this long journey, Zhong Xinshang, Fang Lie, and Perfection endured countless hardships and finally found a suitable place to settle down.

Initially, Zhong Xinshang knew nothing about the importance of identification documents. After all, he had always been a pampered Young Master who had never strayed far from home, so naturally, he was unaware of such trivial matters.

However, Fang Lie and Perfection had some knowledge of this, but they did not inform Zhong Xinshang. The reason was simply that they felt it was unnecessary.

They were well aware of their Young Master’s temperament—once he made up his mind, not even nine oxen could pull him back.

Moreover, even if the escape plan failed, at worst, they would just be captured and returned to the Generals Mansion. The Young Master could still regain his status as Primary Husband and continue living a life of luxury.

In the end, the place Zhong Xinshang found was actually a remote, impoverished small mountain village.

There were only a few households here, and the villagers led simple and peaceful lives.

When the village chief saw Zhong Xinshang and his companions, he did not ask for their identification documents. Perhaps seeing their sorrowful faces due to the loss of a wife (this was, of course, the backstory Zhong Xinshad fabricated for himself), he took pity on them and generously gave them a place to settle down.

After Zhong Xinshang settled down, this news quickly reached Hao Ge at the Generals Mansion.

It turned out that Hao Ge had long sent people to search for Dongfang Longji and had them keep an eye on him, reporting back immediately upon any news.

When Hao Ge received the news about Dongfang Longji, she couldn’t help but sneer, ”Hah, it’s only been a few days, and he thinks he can live a good life? How naive! A frail man, still dreaming of living alone outside, showing his face in public?”

The more Hao Ge thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. She mused to herself, ”After he suffers enough hardships outside, even if he wants to return, he can only become the lowest Attendant Spouse in this Generals Mansion!”

Just thinking about Dongfang Longji falling from the high status of Primary Husband to a manipulated Attendant Spouse filled Hao Ge with immense satisfaction.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smug smile, ”At that time, if you beg me nicely, I might even grant you the status of a side husband!”

If Zhong Xinshang could know Hao Ge’s true thoughts, he would probably feel nothing but disgust and revulsion.

However, regrettably, the person involved was completely unaware of this.

After settling down, Zhong Xinshang took out all the little money he had left.

First, he bought some urgently needed daily necessities to meet the most basic living requirements.

Then, following the villagers’ advice, he used the remaining money to purchase food.

These villagers, seeing that Zhong Xinshang might be a noble Young Master in distress, offered him some valuable advice out of a desire to befriend him.

After all, for someone like Zhong Xinshang, who knew nothing about life, without the villagers’ help, they might not even know how to survive.

Thus, Zhong Xinshang and his companions stumbled through a few days. Although life was not easy, they gradually adapted to this new way of living.

Fang Lie and Perfection were originally Servants, naturally more skilled at handling daily chores than Zhong Xinshang, so they learned faster.

Just as life was slowly getting on track, an unexpected event suddenly occurred—Dongfang Longji collapsed to the ground without warning!

This sudden situation left Fang Lie and Perfection panicked and at a complete loss. They hurriedly fetched a doctor, hoping to treat Dongfang Longji as soon as possible.

After carefully taking the Young Master’s pulse, the doctor’s face lit up with joy, saying, ”Congratulations, your Young Master is pregnant!”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lie and Perfection were struck dumb as if by lightning, exclaiming in unison, ”What!”

Beside them, Zhong Xinshang was also stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and murmured, ”Pregnant...”

Seeing their reactions, the doctor couldn’t help but feel somewhat surprised, as if this news was quite unexpected. Moreover, looking around, he did not see the lady of the house.

So, the doctor turned to Zhong Xinshang and asked, ”Where is your Wife-Lord?”

Zhong Xinshang’s face instantly turned pale. He remained silent for a moment, then slowly replied, ”She... she’s dead.”

Hearing this, the doctor was taken aback, then showed a look of pity as he glanced at Zhong Xinshang.

Zhong Xinshang looked down at his slightly swollen belly, his heart filled with mixed emotions. After a while, as if having made a decision, he looked up and said to Fang Lie and Perfection, ”Doctor, could you prescribe some medicine for me? I... I don’t want this child.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lie and Perfection were both shocked and tried to dissuade him in unison, ”No, Xinshang! This is a life!”

Zhong Xinshang gave a bitter smile and said, ”He/She won’t be happy if born, so why keep it? Let him be reborn into a better life!”

The doctor looked at Zhong Xinshang and asked, ”Are you really decided?”

Zhong Xinshang nodded firmly and said, ”I’ve decided.”

Seeing this, the doctor sighed helplessly and said, ”Alright, since you’ve decided, so be it.”

Immediately, the doctor quickly wrote out a prescription on a slip of paper, handed it to Zhong Xinshang, and explained, ”Your pregnancy is still in the early stages, and the fetus is not fully formed yet, so the harm to your body from an abortion is relatively minor. However, you still need careful recuperation, just like after childbirth—this is called the ’minor confinement.’”

The doctor turned and instructed the people beside Zhong Xinshang, ”You must take good care of him, especially during the minor confinement. Make sure he doesn’t catch a chill. Keep him warm, avoid contact with cold water, and eat more nutritious food to help his body recover quickly.”

The two nodded in understanding and promised to take good care of Zhong Xinshang.
