She had been watching a drama a few days prior, and there was a plot point involving 'Yimucao' where the female lead, unaware of her early pregnancy, took Yimucao and almost miscarried.
This medicine could also be bought at a pharmacy.
Meng Jingwei immediately pulled out her phone and asked in a delivery group chat: [Who has a remote-controlled drone?]
A delivery rider named 'Bears' replied: [I do, what's up?]
Meng Jingwei immediately added him as a friend and called him via voice chat. "Hey handsome, could you do me a favor and buy two boxes of Yimucao from the pharmacy? Then I'll give you my address, and you can use your remote-controlled drone to deliver it to my window, okay?"
The other party: "Why use a drone?"
Meng Jingwei paused for a moment, thought of a reason, and gave an awkward laugh. "Hehehe... I just want to experience the thrill of drone delivery. I'll transfer you three hundred yuan, can you deliver it as fast as possible?"
The other party: "Sure, no problem."
After ending the voice call, Meng Jingwei sent him the address.
Half an hour later, the man called again, saying he was downstairs. Meng Jingwei immediately opened her window.
She was on the 8th floor. Peeking her head out, she looked out the window and saw the delivery man operating a remote-controlled drone, slowly ascending. Then, the buzzing drone hovered in front of her window.
Meng Jingwei took down the medicine and sent him a voice message, "Received the items, thank you."
She opened one box of medicine and saw four strips of Yimucao granules, with 12 granules per strip. She could take 3-5 granules at a time.
Looking at the medicine, she knew that taking too little might have no effect, but taking too much could be fatal.
Suddenly, a sense of fear washed over her.
Meng Jingwei tightly clutched the medicine, thinking that she was already under house arrest by Qing Muyi. If she went to the Qing family's old residence, she would likely be confined until the day she gave birth.
As things stood, she had no choice.
After much hesitation, Meng Jingwei took out 24 granules of medicine, poured a large cup of warm water, and her hand, gripping the medicine, trembled with nervousness.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the 24 granules in six doses.
"Ugh~"
The strong medicinal taste made Meng Jingwei feel nauseous. Even though she drank a lot of water, she still felt sick to her stomach.
She suppressed the nausea, lay down on the sofa, and waited for the medicine's effect.
For the first few minutes, she only felt nauseous, and then it subsided. But after half an hour, she started experiencing abdominal pain, cold sweats, and dizziness.
However, she never waited for bleeding to start below, so she could only endure it.
Meanwhile, at Longxi Villa.
Although Qing Muyi was engaged to Li Yun'er and had taken her to the Qing family's old residence for dinner with the family, he still sent her back to Longxi Villa as it neared midnight.
Li Yun'er felt wronged but only suppressed her feelings and asked calmly, "Brother Muye, we're engaged now, why are you still sending me back?"
The man's expression was indifferent. "Before we get married, it's best we live separately. You're a girl, and this is for your own good."
He was not interested in her.
The reason for getting engaged to her was that she was more suitable in all aspects to be the future mistress of the Qing family.
"But we..."
Li Yun'er wanted to say more, but Qing Muyi simply looked up and gently patted her head. "It's late, hurry back and rest. See you tomorrow."
"Then... alright then."
Feeling even a sliver of gentleness from Qing Muyi, Li Yun'er was already satisfied. "Goodnight, Brother Muye."
"Goodnight."
He said.
Li Yun'er did not get out of the car immediately. She sat in the car for a few seconds, waiting for Qing Muyi to give her a 'goodnight kiss'. However, the man said, "Is there anything else?"
"No."
She shook her head, the sense of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
She opened the door, got out of the car, waved goodbye to Qing Muyi, and then turned to go inside.
At this moment, Song Ci, who was driving, immediately said to Qing Muyi, "Boss, the person monitoring Miss Meng's phone just called. They said Miss Meng called someone to buy some kind of 'Yimucao' and had it delivered to her floor by drone."
"Delivered by drone?"
"Yes."
"How long ago?"
"Over an hour ago. You were with the young madam the whole time, so I didn't have a chance to mention it."
Qing Muyi sensed something was wrong. "Go to Jinxiu Yuan immediately."
"Yes, Boss."
Song Ci started the car and headed towards Jinxiu Yuan.
Qing Muyi sat in the car, feeling a slight unease. "Drive faster."
Song Ci slammed on the accelerator, and they sped along.
"Before marrying into the Qing family, she is ultimately not the 'young madam'."
For some reason, Qing Muyi said.
Song Ci understood his meaning instantly. "I understand."
From now on, he would only refer to Miss Li and would not call her 'young madam' anymore.
Late at night, there were few vehicles on the roads of Lancheng. Song Ci was driving very fast and reached Jinxiu Yuan in less than half an hour.
The two of them got out of the car and entered Jinxiu Yuan.
On the 8th floor, there were six bodyguards guarding Meng Jingwei's door.
Upon seeing Qing Muyi arrive, they all stood rigidly. "Boss."
The man walked to Meng Jingwei's door and knocked. "Open the door."
At this point, it had been an hour since Meng Jingwei took the medicine.
Lying on the sofa, the woman was enduring knife-like pain, and her lower abdomen was bleeding profusely.
She had called 120 for an ambulance ten minutes ago and was suffering as she waited for the doctor to arrive.
Meng Jingwei only wanted to get rid of the child in her womb, but she didn't want to die, nor was she foolish enough not to call 120.
Just then, a knock sounded from outside. Meng Jingwei thought it was the 120 ambulance arriving. But when she tried to get up from the sofa, she couldn't.
The knocking grew more urgent.
Qing Muyi, standing at the door, suddenly became a little anxious. He frowned deeply. "Meng Jingwei, if you don't open the door, I'm kicking it down."
Inside, there was still no response.
Qing Muyi finally couldn't hold back. He took a step back, lifted his leg, and fiercely kicked the door.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
He strode into the living room and saw Meng Jingwei curled up on the sofa, clutching her abdomen. Even with heavy makeup, the paleness of her face and her profuse sweating were undeniable. She was moaning softly.
And the off-white sofa beneath her was stained with a large patch of blood, a horrifying sight.
Qing Muyi walked over and immediately saw the medicine box on the table, with the prominent words - Yimucao.
The man picked up the box and glanced at it, his gaze fixed on the words 'Forbidden for Pregnant Women'.
His brow furrowed, and he clenched the medicine box so tightly that it deformed. "Damn it."
The two strips of medicine on the table were empty. He asked Meng Jingwei, "Did you drink them all?"
"Mmm... it hurts... it hurts..."
Meng Jingwei didn't answer Qing Muyi's question, but the severe abdominal pain made her cry out softly.
Seeing this scene, Qing Muyi's expression was extremely grim.
This woman was willing to risk her life to not give birth to his child!
Song Ci followed him in and immediately called 120. However, before he could even dial, the sound of an ambulance siren could be heard from downstairs.
Hearing the ambulance, Meng Jingwei, out of her desire to live, clutched her abdomen with one hand and used the other to support herself on the sofa, trying to get up.
But as she exerted all her strength to lift her body slightly, her arm suddenly went limp, and she fell off the sofa with a thud.
