On the eve of her wedding, an urgent report arrived from the border, and the Marquis of Pingyang led his army to battle. To show appreciation and importance, the Crown Prince personally officiated ...
Wu Ziya smiled and directed Ping'er to catch fireflies while slowly approaching him. When he got closer and closer to the lake, she reached out and pushed Ping'er into the cold water.
“Plop!”
“Help! Help…”
Ping'er struggled hard, but as soon as her head emerged from the water, Wu Ziya grabbed her head and pushed her down again.
"Help...Gudu..."
Ping'er's voice was drowned in the cold lake water. Wu Ziya looked at the gradually calming lake surface with a strange smile on her lips:
"Ping'er, don't blame me. Blame your mother. It was you who took my son's life. We are repaying each other."
"What are you doing!"
A loud shout came from behind Wu Ziya. As soon as she turned around, she was kicked out.
Lu Yan kicked Wu Ziya away, jumped into the lake, fished Ping'er out, touched her nose, and found that she was dead!
"Doctor! Call the doctor!"
Lu Yan hugged Ping'er and shouted.
"Give me!"
Bai Wanyi grabbed Ping'er and laid him flat on the ground, pressing his chest and abdomen again and again. After a few presses, Ping'er coughed and then vomited a large pool of water.
Bai Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly checked Ping'er's condition: "How are you feeling?"
"Ahem...Mother, Wu, Mother Wu wants to kill me." Ping'er huddled in Bai Wanyi's arms and shivered.
"Wu Ziya! I will kill you!" Bai Wan was shaking with anger. He pounced on Wu Ziya, sat on her and beat her all over.
How could Wu Ziya let Bai Wanyi beat her? She fought back fiercely, grabbing Bai Wanyi and wrestling with him: "If it weren't for you, I would have miscarried. You're the one who killed me!"
"It's not me! Do you have any evidence? But we saw you trying to kill Ping'er!" Bai Wanyi didn't check and was grabbed by Wu Ziya's neck. She kicked Wu Ziya in the stomach and pulled her hair down fiercely: "I will kill you!"
"Give me back my son's life!"
Wu Ziya was convinced that Bai Wanyi had killed her child. Otherwise, how could Bai Wanyi be so kind as to cook for her? Although nothing happened at the time, it was possible that she had been poisoned by a Gu insect, which didn't manifest until several months later!
Wu Ziya was ruthless and pulled out a strand of Bai Wanyi's hair. Bai Wanyi screamed in pain and dug into Wu Ziya's mouth: "I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Pull them away!" Old Lady Lu was so angry that she felt dizzy. These women! They never stop for a moment!
The two were separated by the old women. Bai Wanyi ignored his own injuries, turned around and hugged Ping'er again, repeatedly asking someone to get him clothes and call a doctor.
Wu Ziya was held down by two servants. She struggled hard to raise her head. Under the moonlight, Lu Yan stood beside her with a sullen face. Next to him was Bai Wanyi holding Ping'er, and next to him were Old Lady Lu and others.
Outside the crowd, there was also Aunt Jia, who was walking slowly over, holding her belly.
Wu Ziya's frenzied mind felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, instantly sobering up. Then, a chill instantly spread from her head to her limbs. Everyone gathered and saw her frantic appearance...
Concubine Jia was terrified. She stood timidly behind Lu Yan and said, "I've noticed that something seems amiss with Madam Wu these past few days. I saw her following Young Master Ping out, and I was worried, so I followed her out too. But who would have thought that I'd actually see Madam Wu push Young Master Ping into the lake!"
She touched her belly and trembled. "My Lord, Madam is so cruel to Young Master Ping. If Madam raises my twin children in the future, I don't know what they will turn out to be. Poor my children..."
Wu Ziya looked at Aunt Jia, her eyes turning, thinking of how to excuse herself. She pointed at Aunt Jia and said, "It was all her who instigated it! It's all her!"
Aunt Jia felt very aggrieved: "How did this maidservant instigate Madam?"
Wu Ziya insisted that Aunt Jia instigated her: "It was you who instigated me!"
Aunt Jia shuddered and asked, "What did this maidservant instigate Madam to do?"
What are you instigating?
Wu Ziya was speechless for a moment, then shouted viciously at Aunt Jia: "You are instigating me! You praise Ping'er, you praise An'er, and your words express envy. If this is not instigation, what is it?"
Aunt Jia shook her head in horror: "I didn't know that the two young masters are not to be praised. Marquis..."
"Enough!" Lu Yan roared angrily. He looked coldly at Wu Ziya, this crazy woman. He still remembered their wedding night. Even though she had a scar on her face, the admiring look she gave him was pitiful. What made her become like this?
Wu Ziya shuddered, looked up at Lu Yan, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Enough? How can this be possible?"
She raised her neck with all her strength, revealing the pale red scar on her face. "Look at me! My face was ruined by your family! My child was also lost in your family! You have ruined me completely! Enough? How can that be? Hahahaha!"
Lu Yan looked at Wu Ziya like this and turned away with disgust: "Mrs. Wu is crazy. Take her to the main courtyard and ask the doctor to come and check her out."
When Bai Wanyi heard Lu Yan's words, he knew he wasn't going to hold Wu Ziya accountable. Who would hold a madman accountable? It had always been like this!
Bai Wanyi hugged Ping'er and glared at Lu Yan: "My Lord, are you planning to just let this go? She wanted to kill our son! How could you just let her go?"
Lu Yan's forehead veins throbbed: "Ping'er is not dead either, are you asking her to pay with her life?"
"Why can't you pay with your life!" Bai Wanyi felt sorry for what Ping'er had suffered and yelled at Lu Yan.
Old Lady Lu was so annoyed by their quarrels that her head ached. "Alright, stop arguing! Wu's father is the Minister of Personnel. Even if we want to deal with her, we have to ask for Lord Wu's opinion."
Bai Wanyi gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do. She was only a fourth-rank official, not a big deal, but as a member of the Ministry of Personnel, she couldn't afford to offend anyone easily.
"Take him away quickly!" Seeing that Bai Wanyi was silent, Old Lady Lu turned around and ordered the old woman.
Wu Ziya was pulled up, and no one saw it. Her eyes began to become crazy again. While the old women were not paying attention, she broke free from them and rushed towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan subconsciously dodged, Wu Ziya curled the corner of her mouth and bumped her head against Aunt Jia's belly.
"ah!"
Aunt Jia felt a stomachache and fell down with Wu Ziya.
Wu Ziya took the opportunity to elbow Aunt Jia in the stomach, causing her to scream in pain.
"What's going on! Pull them away!"
Old Madam Lu was furious, and a group of maids and servants rushed over to pull Wu Ziya away. She didn't struggle at all, and even kicked Concubine Jia again when she was pulled away.
"Hahahaha! You are all bad people! All of you! I don't have a child, so you can forget about having one! Hahaha!"
Wu Ziya's hysterical eyes swept across everyone's face. Everyone was horrified and didn't dare to look at her. They all turned their eyes away and no one dared to speak.
