"You're actually pregnant?" Wan Su said in disbelief.
"What?"
Wu Yiniang could hardly believe her ears. She came to Die'er in three steps and asked, "You have been with me all the time. How could you be pregnant? Tell me honestly, whose is it?"
Wu Yiniang asked Caixiang, but her eyes looked at Liang Xiu. Her heart suddenly burned with anger.
Liang Xiu saw his concubine's anger and quickly explained: "What do you think I am doing? It's not me! Die'er, please tell me honestly, whose child is in your belly."
Seeing this, Die'er knew that the matter could no longer be hidden, so she gritted her teeth, raised her tear-stained head, and wanted to explain the matter clearly.
Mrs. Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted angrily at her: "Die'er, please think about it before you speak."
To other people's ears, this sentence is already obvious as a threat.
When Die'er heard this, she shrank a little and hesitated, wondering whether she should continue speaking.
The old lady was furious at this moment. She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would dare to threaten Die'er so arrogantly in front of her and the master, so she picked up the crutch in her hand and slammed it on the ground: "What the hell happened? Just tell me what's going on and I'll make the decision for you. If you dare to hide anything and let me find out, I'll be careful about your life."
Die'er looked at the majestic old lady and finally made up her mind and said: "Yes, it's the eldest young master. The eldest young master and I had this child a month ago. The eldest lady used this as a threat Let me do this, and when it is done, you can make me the eldest son's aunt."
Die'er burst into tears as she spoke. After listening to Die'er's explanation, the eldest lady felt dizzy and was about to faint before she could stand still. Fortunately, the girl beside her held her up.
Knowing that the situation was over, Mrs. Li was still unwilling to give up. She tried to cheer up and said: "Master, the eldest son is unjust! What this girl said is completely inconsistent. If I let her force-fed Wu Yiniang abortion pills, wouldn't I be afraid of Wu Yiniang?" Will my aunt wake up and report me?"
"If it was just the abortion pill this time, Wu Yiniang would have exposed the matter when she woke up. But what if Wu Yiniang had been taking abortion pills for a long time, and coupled with such a large dose this time, it would eventually lead to one death and two deaths during the miscarriage? !" The second lady Wang's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Everyone followed the call and saw that she was holding a dozen letters in her hand. She looked at the eldest lady with hatred, then walked over and knelt down in front of the old lady.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law made a mistake, please punish her!"
"What do you mean?" The old lady was puzzled.
Mrs. Li raised the letter in her hand and handed it to Mother Lin beside the old lady.
"Returning to mother, my sister-in-law came to me with these letters a few days ago and said that she had a clue about Han Yue's private meeting with her foreign husband. Then she used this to force me to do things for her. She asked me to give it to my fifth aunt while I was in charge of the house. A small amount of safflower, musk and other drugs were put into the food, which made Wu Yiniang have an unstable fetal position. If today's abortion pills are not enough to kill Wu Yiniang, then adding the previous drugs can definitely make her pregnant. She died from a hemorrhage during childbirth. But my daughter-in-law could not bear to harm innocent people and never took action. In addition, my daughter-in-law believed in Han Yue's character, so she was deeply suspicious of the matter. So I sent someone to investigate privately, and then I realized that these letters were from my sister-in-law. It’s a forgery! Now my daughter-in-law wants to tell her mother and eldest brother to make the decision.”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't help but yelled: "You, you bitch, you are talking nonsense. That was clearly written by your slutty daughter."
After saying this, Mrs. Li suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing. But it was too late to make amends.
But Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "Since sister-in-law said so, you are admitting that you know about these letters!"
The old lady was a little confused and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Mrs. Wang took a deep breath at this time, knowing that Han Yue's matter could not be hidden, but this was better than being led by the nose by Mrs. Li.
"Replying to my mother, these letters were written by Han Yue. But the reason why Han Yue wrote these letters was entirely because the eldest lady found a handsome actor to pretend to be a down-and-out scholar and seduce Han Yue. If you don't believe the actor at this moment.
In the theater troupe that came today, we asked him to come and we will know after asking him."
When Liang Xiu heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and a huge wave of anger surged in his chest.
He came straight to Li's side, raised his hand and slapped Li's face so hard that only half of Li's face was bent.
"You vicious woman, I have treated you sincerely all these years in vain, and you can do such an unconscionable thing. From today on, you are no longer allowed to interfere in anything at home. You will live in your Peony Courtyard for the rest of your life.
Bar!"
Li didn't expect to hear such heartless words from her former bedfellow.
She only felt as if her heart had fallen into a bottomless ice cave, and the coldness all over her body made her feel despair like never before.
Liang Yunxi, who had been guarding the door all the time, heard from someone unknown what Liang Xiu said about Li.
She knew that her life would be over without her mother, and her powerful fear prevented her from caring too much.
Rolling around, he ran in to plead for Mrs. Li.
"Father, father, you can't do this to your mother! She is your first wife!"
"Confused!" Seeing her like this, the old lady suddenly became angry. "How can you plead for your mother when she is so vicious? If outsiders know that you are interceding for such a sinister and ruthless person, your future will be even worse.
No more!"
The old lady really knows her descendants best, and just one sentence hit Liang Yunxi's pain point.
Liang Yunxi felt as if there was a basin of cold water above her head, pouring down, making her brain wake up instantly.
Yes, she can't plead for mercy. Without her mother, she still has her father and her status as the legitimate daughter of Shangshu Mansion.
If she pleads for Mr. Li, she is a fool who cannot tell right from wrong. Only by establishing a clear relationship with Mr. Li can she preserve her good reputation.
Thinking of this, she wiped away her tears. She regained her eldest lady's demeanor and knelt straight.
"What my father is doing is! What happened today is because my mother committed a heinous crime. It is a deep shame for my daughter to have such a mother. From today on, I am willing to sever the mother-daughter relationship with Mr. Li. I also hope that my grandmother and father will be happy."
After speaking, Liang Yunxi knocked his head heavily on the ground.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li felt that the last spark of hope in her heart had been extinguished.
That person is her daughter! She holds it in her hands for fear of dropping it, and holds it in her mouth for fear of melting! She did all this for her daughter, but how could she do this to herself now?
!
At this moment, Mrs. Li felt a sweet smell in her chest welling up in her throat.
With a "pop" sound, Li vomited out a mouthful of blood, and she fainted completely from then on.
