The moment the old matriarch breathed her last, Hua Qingqing could no longer bear it and fainted on the spot, overwhelmed by tears.
Fortunately, the Imperial Physician hadn't left yet and quickly attended to Hua Qingqing.
Hua Qingqing's extreme emotional distress had destabilized her pregnancy. The Imperial Physician didn't dare prescribe any medicine, so he could only administer acupuncture. He also ordered some calming soup to be prepared for her.
It was only then that Hua Dingzong and He Family learned Hua Qingqing was pregnant.
This should have been wonderful news, but with the old matriarch's recent passing, no one could bring themselves to celebrate.
He Family gently comforted Hua Qingqing and personally brought over a bowl of chicken soup to feed her.
Hua Qingqing had no appetite.
He Family coaxed.
"It's been most of the day, and you haven't eaten a thing. Pregnant women must not go hungry.
