Miscarriage at 23 weeks

el guilty and seek solace through chanting sutras or performing rituals. This can help them find peace of mind, harbor hope, alleviate guilt, and lessen karmic burdens.Jiang Qiyun once said: Having ka...On the way back, I kept my mouth shut and didn't dare to cry out.

My brother kept his silence the whole way, enduring it until he brought Song Wei to her place. Then, he slammed on the gas and drove away at high speed.

"Don't cry, I don't know how to comfort you or celebrate this either." My brother's voice carried an unusual seriousness.

"Xiao Qiao, what are you crying about If you were forced to agree to carry his child, wouldn't you be happier if the child was gone"

My brother slammed the steering wheel, the jarring honking revealing his inner frustration.

"I'm not happy..." My voice was hoarse, barely containing a sob.

"We're not on the same level as him, you know He can treat you ruthlessly, like a tool. He's the Lord of the Underworld! Do you think he cares about a little offering" My brother said angrily.

"Besides, he probably has plenty of other women. It wouldn't make much difference if you were there or not! The only thing special about you is that your body can carry his child!"

I bit my lip and looked down, saying nothing.

Yes, he never showed any condescension, perhaps even a touch of compassion in his stroke.

He must be used to being waited on by others, that's why he's so dissatisfied with my performance.

He also said that even after seven days, he didn't want to touch me if I asked him to, and my stiff behavior disappointed him.

Thinking of these things, my tears fell heavily on the back of my hand.

When he appeared in my life, I was sixteen.

When he was eighteen, he broke my heart.

He said I was his wife in a posthumous marriage, destined to follow him until death. However, he also allowed me to live out my days peacefully without his presence.

"Brother... he's angry... Will he take revenge on our family" I sniffed, thinking to myself that it wouldn't be so bad to live a lonely life, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Whatever. Our family has enough karma already, right" My brother said fearlessly, "With me by your side, don't worry. Once Dad recovers, the three of us will get through this together."

He reached out and tousled my long hair.

The car arrived at an apartment building in the old city. It was an old-fashioned three-story building, and the ground floor, which housed a noodle shop, was still lit up.

The glass door had the four characters "Miao Shou Hui Chun" pasted on it, which means "Skillful Hands Reviving Spring." This must be a black clinic, right

I secretly glanced at my brother. What did he bring me here for

"Come on, the old doctor here specializes in difficult cases." He casually took out a five emperor coin, held it with the three mountains hand gesture, and knocked twice on the glass door.

A meow echoed through the house, sounding like a baby's cry, which made me shudder involuntarily.

It's the middle of the night, and after all that has happened, why did my brother bring me here

"I'm here!" My brother pulled me along and pushed open the glass door.

As soon as you enter, you're met with the strong scent of herbs. Inside is a cramped traditional Chinese medicine clinic. The most organized place is the herbal medicine cabinet.

An old woman with white hair lay in a rocking chair, covered in a quilted coat, seemingly asleep.

"Old hag, you're gone to heaven, aren't you Give us some reaction!" My brother shouted without any politeness.

"Hehehe..." The old woman let out a creepy laugh, her body still as a statue, but her head slowly turned towards us...

I screamed in fright, and my brother immediately yelled, "If you keep playing spooky games, I'll call the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to check your business license!"

The old woman was taken aback for a moment and softly scoffed, “ …not a shred of humor.”

Her face was wrinkled, her back hunched, and she only had a few teeth left in her mouth. When she smiled, it was quite frightening, very much like an old witch!

"My sister isn't feeling well, could you take a look at her" My brother carried me to the small bed by the wall and sat me down.

The old woman looked at me, her cloudy eyes gleaming with greed, like she was looking at pork from the Monkey King.

She sniffed her nose: "Such a heavy ghostly aura... Has she been targeted by a powerful ghost Tsk tsk tsk, look at your pale skin, whiter than the dead... You need to keep yourself grounded in yang energy, or else your soul will be taken by the ghosts, hehehe..."

She reached out and touched my cheek, and I got goosebumps.

Then, her claw-like, thin fingers grasped my wrist and felt my pulse.

"This pulse is quite unusual... how much yin-evil essence did that ghost leave you with Hehehe, to form a Yin-Yang spiritual fetus, you must have put in quite the effort, eh"

My face is a little flushed. This old woman seems to be a formidable figure in the industry.

My brother scolded: "You old woman, you're almost ninety years old, why are you still concerned about young people's affairs!"

The old woman gave my brother a glance, closed her eyes and felt my pulse: “There are signs of miscarriage…”

I couldn't help but ask, "What is a miscarriage Is it… gone"

She gave a horrifying grin. "What Are you worried about your little one being gone"

"I had some things happen to me today, both frightening and hurting. Something just seemed to leak out a while ago, and I'm afraid it might be...blood." I said honestly.

She chuckled and said, “Let me see.”

My brother turned away, and I mustered up the courage to step forward.

The old woman reached out her hand and cackled, "Such plump, round legs. That male ghost sure knows how to live the good life."

I was a little afraid of her, and I shrunk back quietly.

She took my little shorts and looked at them, then smirked and said, "Girl, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news"

"Is there a difference" I asked nervously.

"Of course there is, pick one." She chuckled wickedly.

I shrugged and said in a low voice, "Well...let's hear the good news first."

She stared at me thoughtfully, her shriveled lips curving into a soft arc, revealing a relatively normal smile.

The good news is, this is a threatened miscarriage… there's some bleeding, but everything is still in place.

I let out a small sigh: "So, what's the bad news"

The old woman smiled: "There's no bad news. Judging by your appearance, the things in your stomach are still there. That's good news for you, not bad."

This... This old woman, is she playing with me

My brother let out a dismissive grunt: "Cut it out, it was just a scare, crying like that..."

I blushed and whispered a thank you to the old woman.

The old woman said: "Within two weeks, you need to stay in bed, quit smoking, alcohol, spicy food, seafood and coffee... Well, drink two more doses of Chinese medicine for kidney-tonifying and pregnancy preservation."

She finished instructing him, trembling as she walked towards the medicine cabinet to fetch the herbs. "Boy," she said, "this time the consultation fee and the cost of the medicine will be one trillion."

"Got it! I'll cook for you when I get back!"

What, what! A trillion Burn!

Pay spirit money! That old lady is a ghost!!

My scalp is tingling, no wonder my brother used the Five Emperor Coins to ward off evil spirits when he knocked on the door just now.

"Don't be afraid, girl. I just saved some money for myself in advance... By the way, I heard your father had an accident"

"You, a reclusive old woman who never leaves home, can still hear news from the outside" My brother pouted.

The old woman smiled sinisterly: "This was bound to happen... He and your mother, too bold, hmph... That old geezer Mu Yike didn't say anything—"
