Xie Lan was sent to a Taoist temple on Mount Sanqing for upbringing at birth because she was said to bring misfortune to her family.
After being ignored for more than a decade, the Xie family...
Chapter 70 Who is the adulterer?
The maids, servants, and guards of the Ding residence were all feeling very upset.
Originally they wanted to scold Xie Lan for throwing dirty water on their wives, but they just couldn't bring themselves to curse.
Although the nanny took Madam Ding over, everyone could see that Butler Ding's nervousness had already exceeded the standard for a servant.
What's more, the way he subconsciously hugged his wife just now showed that he was used to doing it.
If you say there is no affair between them, no one will believe it.
I didn't think so at ordinary times, but now that I think about it carefully, there were indeed many suspicious things about their wife and housekeeper in the past.
Their master is often away from home taking care of business.
Not only did Steward Ding come and go freely in the inner courtyard without any scruples, he sometimes even stayed in the lady's courtyard for most of the day. It was hard to say what would happen when a man and a woman were alone in a room.
The servants in the Ding Mansion all thought that there was something fishy going on between Madam Ding and Butler Ding, not to mention the outsiders who were watching nearby, all of them stared at the two of them excitedly.
After hearing what Xie Lan said, Mrs. Ding was so anxious that she didn't even bother to pretend to faint.
He struggled to open his eyes from the old woman's arms and threw himself at her, "My son is dead, and you still want to keep him from resting in peace. You threw dirty water at me in front of his corpse. I will fight you to the death."
With the hammer there, how could she possibly touch Xie Lan?
He put two fingers together and touched her body, and Mrs. Ding was instantly unable to move.
Xie Lan looked calm, without any anger in his eyes. "You've been pregnant for more than a month. I'm talking nonsense. Ask a doctor to check and you'll know."
The servants of the Ding Mansion looked at each other in bewilderment. Madam has been pregnant for more than a month? Their master has been away from home for three months. This... Madam and Steward Ding really have an affair! Madam Ding and Steward Ding's faces both changed, and they were just trying to find an excuse to cover it up.
Suddenly a servant in the crowd exclaimed, "Master, are you back home?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a dusty man in his forties, dressed in green, standing outside the crowd with a gloomy face.
Seeing that the servants had made way, he walked forward step by step, with uncontrollable anger on his face.
Mrs. Ding and Butler Ding's pupils shrank.
Wasn't Ding Shilin dead? Why did he appear again? "Qin, why are you not happy to see your husband come back? Instead, why are you so panicked?"
Wow! As soon as these words fell, the crowd almost boiled over.
No one expected that the head of the Ding family, who was rumored to have been murdered by bandits while out doing business, would come back at this moment.
Qin Jingyuan dug her palms tightly with her nails, suppressed her panic, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Husband, my husband is back, of course I am happy."
Ding Shilin's eyes were filled with anger. "Really? Then tell me, your husband has been away from home for three months. Where did the child in your belly come from?"
Everyone present stared with eyes wide open and listened attentively for Mrs. Ding's explanation, fearing that they might have missed something big.
Qin Jingyuan's smile froze, and suddenly she blinked and tears fell, "Husband, Zhe Ge'er didn't make it, he's gone."
Qin Jingyuan originally thought that when Ding Shilin mentioned his son, he would be so sad that he would not care about anything else.
Unexpectedly, he just clenched his fists and stared at the coffin.
Xie Lan was surprised to see that he only looked angry but not sad. Did he guess that she was being cuckolded? She was still hesitant about whether to expose the secret, but when she saw the dead look on his face, she decided not to hide it.
"Master Ding, please accept my condolences. The one who died was not your son."
Everyone was stunned by this explosive news.
What does this girl mean? Could it be that Mrs. Ding had an affair and got pregnant with someone else's child? Could it be that Young Master Ding is not the head of the Ding family's child?
Is this true or false?
Butler Ding's heart suddenly tightened and started beating wildly with fear.
Qin Jingyuan was not much better, and she shouted at Xie Lan with a pale face, "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out, we don't welcome you in our house. Come, kick them out."
Qin Jingyuan shouted for a long time, and the servants in the Ding Mansion looked at each other, but no one dared to move.
Not to mention that Commander Dou and his men were watching from the side, their master had also returned. Just the maidservant beside this girl was enough for them to be no match for her.
Ding Shilin looked at Xie Lan, "What did you mean by what you said just now?"
Xie Lan glanced at his face. Maybe the head of the Ding family just guessed that he was cuckolded, but he hasn't confirmed it yet?
Then she must expose Mrs. Ding's big secret, otherwise the head of the Ding family might be killed by them without knowing it.
Butler Ding was panicking, and while Ding Shilin wasn't paying attention, he secretly glanced at Mrs. Ding.
"Husband, I don't know where this girl came from to cheat people, don't believe her nonsense..."
Qin Jingyuan wanted to continue to persuade her, but Ding Shilin suddenly shouted at her with a dark face, "Shut up, I can tell whether it is nonsense or not."
Seeing that she had shut up, Ding Shilin took a deep breath and said, "Miss, if you know anything, please speak up."
Xie Lan nodded and said directly without beating around the bush, "Excuse me, Master Ding's facial features show that you have no offspring."
Seeing that he looked unhappy but not too surprised, Xie Lan said, "Master Ding, your childlessness is not natural, but caused by someone drugging you."
Ding Shilin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with anger. In fact, he had noticed that something was wrong with his wife half a year ago, but he had no evidence.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
During this trip, he was chased by bandits. In order to survive, he gave all the more than 10,000 taels of payment for goods to the bandits, and he was lucky enough to escape.
The gang leader took the money and told him a secret before leaving, saying that someone had coveted his wealth and was hiring someone to kill him.
Since that time, he has carefully checked everyone around him, but found nothing suspicious.
The reason for this trip, in addition to taking care of business, was also because I heard about a very famous doctor.
Originally, he wanted to ask him to return to Beijing to treat his son, but unexpectedly, the doctor took one look at him and told him to leave quickly, not to make fun of him and delay his treatment of other people.
He didn't understand what he meant at first, so the medicine boy just said, "You don't have any child at all" and drove him away.
He was annoyed for a long time because of this, thinking that the doctor was just a quack who had gained his reputation in vain.
Ding Shilin's eyes were blazing with fire, and he grabbed Mrs. Ding's neck and said, "Tell me, who is the adulterer?"
Qin Jingyuan was so frightened that she tried desperately to deny it.
Ding Shilin didn't believe it at all and kept pinching her tighter and tighter.
Seeing that Qin was almost out of breath, Commander Dou frowned slightly. He didn't want to cause trouble or kill anyone in public.
He glanced at Xie Lan and saw that she had no objection, then he stepped forward and pulled Ding Shilin away.
Although Ding Shilin wanted to strangle his wife to death, he knew that he could not kill anyone in front of the commander.
He let go of his hand and said, "Someone, take Butler Ding down."
Butler Ding's face changed, "Master, what do you mean?"
Xie Lan said coldly, "Stop pretending. Young Master Ding has been killed by you guys, and you still don't want to stop?"
Everyone was confused. How could Butler Ding kill Young Master Ding? Could it be that Young Master Ding was the butler's child?
Steward Ding's pupils shrank. "Nonsense, the young master has been weak since childhood. The doctor said he would not live past the age of 20."
Xie Lan nodded, "Master Ding is indeed not destined to live a long life, but he would not die so soon.
He accidentally found out that he was the child of Madam Ding and you, and was devastated, so he ended his life. "
