She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

After a break of more than ten minutes, the performing arts troupe went back on stage to start performing again.

Wang Pingping sat in the audience, a smile on her lips, her gaze fixed on Zhou Nan.

She had just watched Zhou Nan drink the water from the glass—water in which she had put laxatives.

She was waiting to see Zhou Nan burst out laughing on stage and embarrass herself in front of everyone. Just imagining that scene made Wang Pingping chuckle.

As the music began, the performing arts troupe presented a song titled "On the Fields of Hope."

The team members walked onto the stage to the beat, their faces beaming with smiles, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Wang Pingping sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Zhou Nan. She was waiting to see her embarrassingly clutch her stomach and search for a toilet.

Zhou Nan stood in the line, back straight, arms outstretched, and a natural smile on her face.

Wang Pingping frowned. Zhou Nan had clearly drunk water, so why wasn't she reacting at all? What was going on? Had the medicine failed?

Yang Xinyue's face grew paler and paler on the stage. She bit her lip to support herself, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her steps became unsteady.

Shen Tang watched as a thin stream of blood flowed down Yang Xinyue's thigh to her calf. Just as she was about to speak, Yang Xinyue collapsed onto the stage with a thud.

Chaos erupted on stage as everyone frantically carried Yang Xinyue to the side of the stage.

Shen Tang glanced at Yang Xinyue's calves, found a towel, and covered her legs with it.

Fortunately, a doctor who had accompanied her to the countryside arrived. He knelt down beside Yang Xinyue, examined her pulse and abdomen, and then looked into her eyes. His expression changed drastically.

She looked at Ge Aihua and said, "She's pregnant and took laxatives. Her condition is very dangerous now, and she needs to be protected to save the pregnancy."

The doctor frowned, took out a pregnancy-preserving injection from the medicine box, and deftly inserted it into Yang Xinyue's arm.

"Let me give her an injection first. If she continues to bleed, we'll have to get her to a big hospital right away. The conditions here are limited."

The doctor spoke urgently, and although he kept his voice low, the team members standing nearby could still hear him clearly.

"Pregnant? Whose child is it?" someone asked in a low voice.

All eyes turned to Yang Xinyue.

Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her lips were trembling slightly.

Zhao Wenjing stood in the crowd and glanced at Shen Tang in shock. Shen Tang gently shook her head, signaling her not to make a fuss.

Ge Aihua said coldly, "Stop crowding around, bring over a stretcher and carry him into the infirmary."

Everyone then dispersed, and the two men carried Yang Xinyue into the infirmary.

Zhao Wenjing then grabbed Shen Tang's sleeve and whispered, "Lu Jingshen is a real jerk. How did he manage to get someone pregnant? Yang Xinyue is also out of her mind, coming here even though she's pregnant."

Shen Tang didn't say anything. As a woman herself, she felt a little sorry for Yang Xinyue.

Although Yang Xinyue knew it was wrong to be a third party, she couldn't bring herself to say anything malicious to her right now.

The root of the problem lies with Lu Jingshen; it was Lu Jingshen who used tricks to deceive Yang Xinyue.

Shen Tang didn't want to say anything more and silently walked forward.

Inside the tent, Yang Xinyue was already awake, and Ge Aihua was sitting next to her.

Yang Xinyue reached out and touched her stomach, "My child..."

"The doctor gave you an injection to stabilize the pregnancy for now. But you still need to rest well. If the bleeding continues, you'll have to go to a major hospital," Ge Aihua said in a deep voice.

Yang Xinyue relaxed and lay back weakly on the bed, pursing her lips and saying nothing more.

Looking at her pale face, Ge Aihua remained silent for a while before speaking: "Why didn't you report that you were pregnant? Do you know how dangerous it is to come here?"

Yang Xinyue turned her head away, biting her lip and remaining silent, a tear sliding down her cheek.

Ge Aihua then asked, "Who is the child's father?"

Yang Xinyue turned her head: "He is my fiancé, Lu Jingshen."

Ge Aihua frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "In your situation, if you just submitted a report to apply for marriage, the organization wouldn't take it too seriously. But now you've made it like this..."

She paused, looking at Yang Xinyue's weak appearance, and finally couldn't bear to say anything harsh.

Ge Aihua sighed. "How did you end up taking laxatives?"

Yang Xinyue suddenly raised her head: "Laxatives? I didn't take any laxatives."

Her eyes were wide open, and the color that had just returned to her face faded again. "Someone must be trying to harm me...someone wants to harm my child."

"I'll investigate this thoroughly. Just take good care of yourself; you won't need to participate in any more performances."

Ge Aihua stood up to leave, but Yang Xinyue called out to her, "Commander Ge—"

Ge Aihua stopped and turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"

Yang Xinyue bit her lip, her voice low but firm: "It was Shen Tang who drugged me."

Ge Aihua frowned. "I will investigate this thoroughly."

Yang Xinyue thought for a moment, "Water, the medicine must have been put in the water glass, I just drank some water."

She paused, then added, "Commander Ge, I know you like Shen Tang, but I hope you won't show favoritism towards her."

"I will handle this impartially." Ge Aihua glanced at her, then turned and walked out of the tent.

When Wang Pingping heard that Yang Xinyue had taken laxatives, which caused her condition, and that the baby might not survive, she was so frightened that her hands trembled.

She couldn't understand it at all. She clearly put the medicine in Zhou Nan's water glass, so how did Yang Xinyue drink it? And Yang Xinyue was pregnant at that. How could she be so unlucky?

Wang Pingping felt uneasy as she watched Ge Aihua call all the members of the art troupe into the room, and she turned to leave.

"Qin Zheng, take me home, I want to go home," Wang Pingping said to Qin Zheng.

"I can't deliver it," Qin Zheng said bluntly.

"Please, I... I'm not feeling well," Wang Pingping said, pouting.

"If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. What does that have to do with me?" Qin Zheng didn't even glance at her.

Wang Pingping was so angry that she stomped her feet. Without a car, she couldn't walk at all.

Commander Ge picked up Yang Xinyue's cup and gave it to the doctor, who confirmed it contained laxatives.

Ge Aihua called the members of the cultural troupe to the front of the tent, raised the water glass, and scanned everyone with her eyes: "Someone has put laxatives in Yang Xinyue's water glass."

An uproar immediately erupted in the crowd. "Who is it? Giving someone laxatives, how despicable!" someone whispered.

"Luckily, nothing serious happened. Otherwise, with two lives lost, who could bear that responsibility?" someone chimed in. Ge Aihua's gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on Shen Tang.

Shen Tang looked at her with a completely calm expression.

Ge Aihua shifted her gaze elsewhere. "I hope you will come forward voluntarily and be treated leniently. If I find out, the consequences will be severe."

No one stood up, and no one spoke up.

Ge Aihua took a deep breath and said, "Everyone hand in a slip of paper, whether it's something you did or something someone saw, and put it in the box."

Standing on the periphery of the crowd, Wang Pingping clenched the hem of her clothes, unsure if anyone had seen her administer the drug.
