Sister-in-law's face turned pale with fear as she desperately swatted the medicine bowl from Mother-in-law's hands. The medicine splashed all over Mother-in-law.
I quickly helped Mother-in-law up, "Mom, are you okay?"
"Sister-in-law, how could you do this?"
"Mom is only looking out for you; how could you push her away?"
Sister-in-law seemed to realize something and suddenly knelt before Mei Shouren, " Ren, you know my health condition."
"If I lose this baby, I won't be able to have children again."
Sister-in-law then turned to me and grabbed my hand tightly, "Minmin, please save my child, please save my child."
I sighed and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I know you can't bear to lose this child, but the timing isn't right."
"You and Shouren have such a good relationship; won't you have children in the future?"
Sister-in-law shook her head vigorously, "No, you don't understand, you don't understand..."
I patted her hand gently, "Sister-in-law, you're still young; you'll have children in the future."
Sister-in-law continued to struggle. Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Mother-in-law shoved the medicine bowl into Mei Shouren's hands, "You talk to her."
With that, she left.
Mei Shouren held the medicine bowl and looked at Sister-in-law hesitantly, "Mingming..."
Sister-in-law shook her head fiercely and backed away, "No, I won't drink it..."
I sighed again and said softly, "Sister-in-law, you're still young; you'll have children in the future."
Sister-in-law still refused to drink.
I gently said, "Sister-in-law, do you know that my baby didn't survive because Shouren saved you?"
Sister-in-law suddenly looked up at me, shock filling her eyes.
I wiped away the nonexistent tears at the corner of my eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I originally thought that since you and Shouren have such a good relationship, your baby would be similar to mine."
"I didn't expect that my child is gone while your baby..."
"After all, my child can't compare to the deep bond between you and Brother Shouren."
"It’s just a pity for my unborn child, who was actually harmed by his own father."
Mei Shouren's expression was somewhat grim, while Sister-in-law looked utterly shocked.
I sighed, "Sister-in-law, I advise you to take the medicine while it's still warm; otherwise, when the child grows up, it will be even more harmful to your body."
Sister-in-law glared at me, and I continued, "If you drink it now, at least the child can accompany mine."
"If you insist on not drinking it, then your child will likely bear the stigma in the future."
Sister-in-law widened her eyes at me, "What... what do you mean?"
I sighed again, "Think carefully; your child in your belly, if you count the days, isn't it a bit older than mine?"
Sister-in-law's face instantly turned pale. I continued, "If you insist on giving birth to this child, then that child will have to carry the label of an illegitimate child in the future."
I sighed once more, "Sister-in-law, I know you can't bear to part with this child, but the the Mei Family is currently at a critical juncture. If news of your pregnancy spreads, it will deal a devastating blow to the the Mei Family."
"You are also a part of the the Mei Family; for the sake of the the Mei Family, just sacrifice a little of yourself."
Sister-in-law shook her head vigorously, "No! I won't agree!"
Mei Shouren said solemnly, "Mingming, be obedient."
"Drink it; stop making a fuss."
Tears streamed down Sister-in-law's face as she asked, " Ren, are you really going to treat me this way?"
Mei Shouren turned his gaze away and remained silent.
I picked up the bowl of medicine from the table and handed it to Sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, drink it."
Sister-in-law looked at the bowl of medicine with fear in her eyes that seemed about to overflow.
Mei Shouren's eyes were red: "Mingming, this year isn’t possible; we’ll try again next year."
"By then, let Minmin give you another son."
I smiled and said, "Yes, Sister-in-law, next year I will definitely be able to have a son."
"By then, he will be your biological son."
Sister-in-law looked at me with eyes full of hatred.
Seeing her in pain filled me with a sense of satisfaction.
Sister-in-law was frightened by his gaze and desperately tried to retreat. However, as a weak woman, she was no match for Mei Shouren. In the end, the abortion pills were forced into her. Sister-in-law's desperate cries echoed throughout the the Mei Family.
At that moment, the secretary rushed in, beaming with joy. "Matriarch, Fourth Young Master has been accepted!"
The Matriarch was taken aback. "Accepted into what?"
The secretary replied with a smile, "Fourth Young Master has been accepted into Capital University Graduate School as a graduate student, and he ranked 13th."
The Matriarch's expression initially brightened, but then she suddenly collapsed. She had experienced great sorrow and joy today, and now another wave of joy overwhelmed her emotions. Unable to cope with the drastic fluctuations, she fainted on the spot.
