Realizing her mistake had led to her lady's pregnancy, Ding Xiang's face turned deathly pale.
Fear and self-blame washed over her, and she couldn't help but sob aloud.
Nanny Liu, standing near the doorway, heard the commotion.
She berated her in a low voice, "The young lady and Mrs. Mei are vexed enough. If you must cry, do it elsewhere."
Ding Xiang entered the room and fell to her knees before Mei Wanying with a THUD.
Steeling herself, her face a mask of grim resolve, she said, "My lady, punish me. I wasn't the one who went to get the medicine that night."
Mei Wanying had always suspected that she'd written down one of the medicinal herbs incorrectly, which was why the abortion soup hadn't worked.
She never imagined something had gone wrong along the way.
A moment's thought was all it took to realize who had gotten the medicine instead.
Her eyelashes trembled.
'Does Pei Yan know the original prescription was for contraception?'
'He probably doesn't.'
