Chapter 390

Hearing Le'an's words, Madam Zheng's expression, which had just eased, darkened again.

Yun Wan had nothing more to say.

Even though Yun Wan was eloquent and could turn black into white, the maid did indeed run away with the soup bowl.

The facts are there, and nothing we say will change that.

Madam Zheng glanced at Yun Wan and snorted coldly.

Luckily, she had just begun to change her opinion of this daughter-in-law a little, but she didn't expect that her change of opinion would come so soon!

Meeting Zheng's gaze, Yunwan felt a chill in her heart and could only make a last-ditch effort: "Even if I say I didn't do it, I'm sure Mother-in-law won't believe me, but I am truly innocent! But what Le'an said is also true. No matter how much Aunt hates me, she wouldn't risk her own and her child's lives. This matter is my fault. I was too concerned and made a mistake, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of me. I beg Mother-in-law to punish me!"

After saying that, Yun Wan knelt down on the ground.

Le'an stood aside, looking quite pleased.

They're already facing death, what's the point of struggling?

Looking at Yun Wan kneeling on the ground, Madam Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Dr. Wei, how is Aunt's health? Has the fetus been affected in any way?"

"Thanks to the quick footsteps of the maidservant by the concubine's side, the antidote was administered in time. However, she still needs to recuperate carefully for a few more days before a final judgment can be made."

Hearing Doctor Wei's words, Madam Zheng's heart sank slightly.

In other words, Yunxi and the fetus in her womb could still be affected.

Zheng's gaze returned to Yun Wan: "Go back now and be confined to your quarters for three months. During this time, copy Buddhist scriptures every day and see how it goes."

Yun Wan took a deep breath and barely managed to regain some of her strength: "...Yes, thank you, Mother-in-law."

Her legs were still weak, and she could only stand up by leaning on pearls, and slowly walked away from Jibai Residence.

"Dr. Wei, I would be grateful if you could come and check on me frequently these next few days. It would be best if you could keep both my wife and me safe and sound. If not, please make sure nothing happens to my aunt."

"yes."

Madam Zheng looked at Le'an and saw that she was unconvinced, so she said helplessly, "Go back and take good care of your aunt. If there is anything else, call me anytime."

Le'an reluctantly replied, "Yes."

Then Zheng and Zhou's mother left together.

After seeing Doctor Wei off, Le'an returned to Yunxi's side.

"Auntie, you heard what Madam said just now, didn't you?" Le'an pouted. "The young mistress did such a disgraceful thing, and she was just confined to her quarters. You've suffered such a great injustice, even the children—"

Before she could finish speaking, Jixiang glared at her, and Le'an immediately stopped talking.

Yunxi took a sip of water from the cup in Jixiang's hand and said, "After all, there's no way to verify anything between the two sides. It's already good enough that Madam is willing to believe us."

"What do you mean it's already good enough! In my opinion, it was the young mistress who did it! Otherwise, why would that maid run away!"

Yunxi and Jixiang exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

Jixiang coughed softly: "Le'an, you're too noisy. Go back and calm down. I'll stay with your aunt."

Le'an was in a bad mood and wanted to post it quickly, but she was also afraid of disturbing Yunxi's rest, so she curtsied and left.

When the bell rang downstairs, Jixiang went to the edge of the terrace and peeked out. Seeing that Jixiang had already left, she returned to Yunxi's side.

"Auntie, are you feeling any better?"

Seeing Jixiang's concerned expression, Yunxi couldn't help but think of her past life, and even Jixiang's attitude towards her not long ago.

The changes are enormous compared to now.

Jixiang subconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek: "Auntie, is there something on my face?"

Yunxi chuckled twice and didn't hide it from her: "It just reminded me of the time when I first met you."

Hearing her words, Jixiang felt a surge of nervousness.

At that time, Jixiang was still Madam Yun's man. Following Madam Yun's orders, she didn't treat Yunxi well and even made things difficult for her.
