She spoke directly, and Qin Wan knew that her mind was as clear as a mirror, which pleased her.

Putting down the teacup, Qin Wan earnestly spoke to Su Yingxue, “If it weren’t for Han’er’s current perilous situation, 1 wouldn’t have wanted to bother you. Yingxue, 1 implore you, can you save your cousin?”

Qin Wan, born into a prestigious family and married to Su Yingxue’s uncle, General Weiwu, Su Han, was married into the Regional Prince’s Mansion. It was not an exaggeration to say she belonged to a noble family.

However, now she set aside her status as an elder to make such a plea.

Su Yingxue furrowed her brows. “What has happened to cousin?”

“Your cousin is currently imprisoned in the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County. Your uncle and 1 can’t see her at all, and I’m uncertain about her current situation!” Tears welled up in Qin Wan’s eyes.

“What illness does Cousin have? What’s the situation in the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County? Please, Aunt, tell me everything step by step.”

Su Yingxue recalled Su Han’s kindness in her previous life. Before she passed away, Su Han was the only one who came to the Marquis’s Manor to find her.

In this life, even though she had made a deal with Su Han, Su Han was still an honest sister. Asking these questions probably meant she wanted to lend a hand in saving Su Han.

However, she needed to understand the situation first.

Qin Wan recounted everything to Su Yingxue. “A few days ago, Han’er began feeling unwell in her stomach. She consulted a doctor who declared she was pregnant. We were all overjoyed about the child, but soon, Han’er became bedridden. Your uncle and I sought numerous renowned doctors to visit the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County, but none were allowed to examine her. The doctor sent in two days ago was a servant of your uncle. He managed to bring back a note from Han’er. It turns out that Han’er…”

As Qin Wan spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Her choked voice weighed heavily on Su Yingxue’s heart. “Has Cousin been mistreated in the Regional Prince’s Mansion?”

“It’s not just mistreatment. Miss has been imprisoned by the prince’s mansion’s people. They said…” Qin Wan’s maidservant looked indignant but dared not continue.

This made Su Yingxue even more anxious.

Su Yingxue furrowed her brows. “If Aunt has reservations, 1 won’t press further today. However, if you wish to save Cousin, and restore her innocence, please tell me the truth.”

“This matter is truly difficult to talk about. Family matters shouldn’t be aired in public, but Han’er’s life is more important…” Qin Wan seemed to have steeled herself before continuing, “The people from the prince’s mansion said that Han’er isn’t pregnant. She’s carrying a ghost fetus! Because Han’er’s belly has expanded in just a few days.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Yingxue’s eyes. “Her stomach expanded in just a few days? Cousin should be around two months pregnant?”

“That’s correct! That’s why Han’er has been mistreated by them. The county lord in the Regional Prince’s Mansion is also domineering and ruthless. She has always had a strained relationship with Han’er. Now she has ordered Han’er to be locked up, and I’m afraid Han’er has suffered greatly inside.”

Qin Wan covered her face with a handkerchief. This was her greatest sorrow as a mother.

Her precious daughter was seriously ill and imprisoned in her husband’s house, and she and her husband could do nothing about it.

They had done everything within their power.

Now, only Su Yingxue could help them.

“Yingxue, you’re a genius doctor. You can surely diagnose Han’er’s illness. She isn’t pregnant with a ghost fetus. It’s all baseless rumors. Moreover, considering your status, the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County will surely give you some respect.”

Qin Wan sounded a little embarrassed, but Su Yingxue understood what she

meant..
