Jiang Zhongxing's voice suddenly became very low, "She lost the child in her belly, seven or eight months along."
Du Wei repeatedly asked, "How could she lose a child seven or eight months along?"
"How did it happen, where did it happen?"
Jiang Zhongxing smiled bitterly, "I only found out later by asking the maid and nanny who were with her. It happened when she was traveling by carriage to Nanzhou, in a desolate area away from villages and inns."
"It was dark by then, and there was still over ten miles to the post station. There was no midwife or doctor, and the child wasn't due to be born yet. When it was born, it was extremely weak and reportedly stopped breathing within moments."
"The nanny buried the child."
Du Wei asked urgently, "Are you sure the child was buried and not thrown away?"
"Is that place near Chunlin County?"
