Chapter 212 A life-or-death struggle

Sun Xiucai looked at Shen Luoxue who was approaching step by step. The dagger was already against his chest, and her eyes were full of cold hatred. He also felt scared.

"Luo...Luoxue, first...put down the knife. Let's talk it out. If you don't want to see me, then I'll just leave. Why...why bother with this?"

The Sun family's yard was small to begin with, and Sun's mother, who lived in the wing room, had already noticed something was wrong. When she opened the door, she saw her son with a shiny knife against his chest. She was so scared that she burst into tears immediately.

"Oh my God, what is going on? Oh my God, not only does the new bride not serve her husband after entering the house, but she actually wants to kill her husband..."

Shen Luoxue glared at him fiercely.

"Shut up! If you keep yelling, it's your son who'll suffer. I've already saved your face today. Don't throw a tantrum in front of me. It makes me sick..."

He Yanling, who had been observing in the dark, was also shocked when she saw this. She hurriedly held her chest to calm herself down and touched her stomach.

"Kid, wealth and glory all require a gamble. Be good and don't get scared later. Let's go add more fuel to the fire."

As he opened the door, he walked forward with a frightened look and spoke.

"Oh my God, why are you using a knife?"

I was so flustered that I didn't know who to persuade first.

After looking at several people several times, he finally walked up and carefully took Sun Xinyao's arm.

"Cousin, my sister must still be angry about what happened today. Why don't you apologize to her first? She comes from a wealthy family and will definitely forgive us."

Then he looked at Shen Luoxue softly and weakly.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I was impulsive today. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you and cousin would be in your wedding night right now. I apologize to you. When the child is born, you can kill me or beat me as you wish. As long as you calm down, I'll be willing to die."

Mother Qiu has been in the inner house for many years, so naturally she can't stand He Yanling's pitiful way of speaking. Isn't this the way those concubines use to compete for favor?

"Does Concubine He also know that what happened today is because of her? Even if Concubine He and Scholar Sun really had such a shady relationship, she should have waited until after today to ask the new wife for a decision. By making such a scene in public, isn't Concubine He just trying to embarrass the new wife and the Sun and Shen families?"

He Yanling's tears came to her eyes as she spoke pitifully.

"What this mother said is that it was my fault."

He even raised his hand and slapped himself.

"It's all my fault. I deserve to die, but sister, I have never thought of embarrassing you, let alone embarrassing the Sun and Shen families. I am just a floating duckweed, and I am really afraid that I can't enter the Sun family.

Seeing that the child is about to be born, it doesn't matter whether I have a legitimate status or not, but I cannot let my child be without a legitimate status. My sister, please don't bother with me because I am doing this for the sake of the child."

Shen Luoxue just felt like killing this family when she saw this terrible scene in front of her, and pushed the dagger forward a few more points.

"Get out of here, stop disgusting me, Sun Xinyao. If you don't want to die, take care of your mother and your cousin. If you really push me too far, I, Shen Luoxue, can do anything."

Mr. Sun was a little scared, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Sun's mother was so frightened that she dared not throw a tantrum anymore.

But after leaving like this, Mr. Sun felt that he had lost face.

"Luoxue, calm down, or let's have a good talk..."

There was murderous intent in Shen Luoxue's eyes.

"Get out! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"

Sun Xinyao took a step back and was about to say something else, but He Yanling spoke tactfully.

"Sister, don't be angry. It's not worth it to hurt yourself. If you don't want to see us, we'll leave now."

Then he pulled Sun Xiucai's arm and tried to persuade him.

"Cousin, let's go first and don't make my sister angry anymore."

Sun Xiucai was originally afraid, and at this time someone pulled him and gave him a step down, so he naturally had to go up the step. He looked at Shen Luoxue, and finally followed He Yanling away.

But he had to find someone to vent his anger on, so as soon as he arrived at He Yanling's room, he shook off He Yanling's hand.

"He Yanling, it's all your fault. If this marriage with the Shen family is ruined, I won't forgive you. I already promised that I would find a chance to let you into the mansion, but what did you do in the end? How could I be so blind as to fall for a fool like you?"

He Yanling's tears fell again. She wiped them with a handkerchief and spoke in a choked voice.

"Cousin, I know I've let you down today, but I really have no other choice. I'm about to give birth in two months. Cousin, you can't bear to see our child stranded outside, right? This is the Sun family's first child."

Seeing He Yanling's tearful and pitiful appearance, Sun Xiucai felt a little soft-hearted. After all, she had been with him for several years and had been serving his mother all these years.

"Yanling, I know you've always wanted a legitimate status, but didn't I tell you that after she gets married and some time has passed, I'll find a way to bring you back?"

He Yanling cried even more aggrieved after hearing this.

"But cousin, where do you want me to go? My brother and sister-in-law all dislike me on my mother's side, saying that my big belly has ruined the family's reputation and will affect my niece's marriage in the future. Cousin, the baby I'm carrying is yours. I've checked with the doctor, and it's a boy.

Cousin, you are the only one I can rely on. The new wife is of noble status and has everything at home. I am like a vine, and can only cling to you. Cousin, without you, I will die."

Sun Xinyao looked at He Yanling's big belly. If it was a son, he would have a successor, which would be a major accomplishment in his life.

“Okay, stop crying. Now that you’ve entered the door, be more restrained in the future and don’t provoke Shen Luoxue.”

Seeing that Sun Xinyao was not so angry anymore, He Yanling felt relieved and then stepped forward to comfort Sun Xinyao.

"Cousin, you don't have to worry about the new wife. She's just angry for a moment. Now that she's married, how could she possibly run away? When she has a child, her heart will naturally be with our Sun family."

When Mr. Sun heard this, he suddenly remembered that he was turned away from the wedding night, and anger rose on his face again.

"Kid, I can't even get into my new house now."

He Yanling spoke cunningly.

"Cousin, we grew up together, so naturally I have to help you. This is actually very easy to do. Listen to me."

Then he leaned over to whisper a few words into Sun Xinyao's ear...
