"Yingxue and I kept in constant correspondence. She gave birth to a boy for me. When I returned to Kyoto, he was already over a year old. He was fair as snow, and could walk unsteadily. I held him in my arms and refused to let him go. The two of us were so adorable together.

The eldest brother also had a son, and his father later named his three grandchildren. The two boys were named Jiang Heng and Jiang Lu, and the girl was named Jiang Yan.

But later my son Jiang Lu did not survive, and my daughter was no longer allowed to have the surname Jiang or be called Jiang Yan.

This time I returned home for a rotation, and the stay was relatively long, more than half a year.

You can't hide your feelings for someone. Yu Minghua angrily asked me if I was doing this to repay a favor? To avoid being kicked out of the Jiang family? Or because I felt guilty for leaving Yang Yingxue alone in her empty house for three years?

I said no, I just like Yingxue.

I never thought that she would hate someone so much, to the point of wanting to kill someone and make Yingxue and I suffer day and night.

Yu Minghua killed my son. She was such a small person, but she stabbed him twice with a sword. When she wanted to stab him again, she was held down by the servants.

Yingxue tried to cover the wound with her hands to stop the bleeding that wouldn't stop. Jiang Lu mumbled, "Mom, it hurts, it hurts so much..." I saw Yingxue shaking all over, and Jiang Lu covered in blood, crying out in pain, and died in Yingxue's arms.

Yingxue put Jiang Lu on his small quilt and picked up the sword to kill Yu Minghua. I stopped her. She looked at me and her eyes became cold.

I heard Yu Minghua laughing. She said to Yingxue, "I wanted to kill you, but you were lucky enough to be saved, though you only had half your life left. I wanted to kill you, but he protected me and believed in me, and you still took the arrow for him." Hahahaha.

I killed your son now, and everyone was watching, but he still protected me. So, Yang Yingxue, think about what you and your son are, hahahahahaha.

After hearing this, Yingxue raised the sword again and wanted to kill Yu Minghua. I tried to stop her, but Yingxue started shaking again. She stabbed me and I didn't dodge. She missed and the sword pierced my shoulder, deep enough to see the bone. Blood was gushing out. I said it was all my fault, could you please let Yu Minghua go?

Yu Minghua burst into laughter. But the laughter stopped abruptly. I looked back and saw that it was my stepmother who had come and killed Yu Minghua with a single sword strike.

When I woke up again, I heard the maids talking about how the Second Young Master still liked his concubine and would protect her with all his might. She had even killed the Little Young Master, but the Second Young Master wouldn't let them touch her.

The little master was so pitiful, his body was stabbed and bloody.

Our second young master really has a special liking for the concubine. He ran away from his marriage for her and was away for three years. As soon as he came back, he wanted to make her his concubine. When he saw that the first lady wanted to kill the concubine, he was so heartbroken that he fainted.

Poor second young master's wife, she is an orphan and now she has lost her son. Her husband does not love her, so she is completely foolish and stupid now.

After hearing the last sentence, I was so anxious that I hurried to Yingxue's yard to see her. Sure enough, I saw her sitting there blankly, with no expression on her face.

She seemed unable to hear me when I spoke to her. I called the court doctor, who said Yingxue had been relying on medication to sleep for a long time. From the time I ran away from my marriage three years ago to the time her entire family died in the war, she had been holding on by herself. Now that her son was dead, she couldn't hold on any longer.

The court doctor told me that I shouldn't have let her think I liked her when I didn't like her. Why hurt her so much? Pushing her into despair again, she's suffered too much. She would be happy with just a little bit of sweetness. In fact, a divorce would be fine. The second young master bullied an orphan like this just to avoid being kicked out of the house. It's not a manly thing to do.

The court doctor said that since he had said these words today, he was just waiting to be fired. As long as he was not fired, he would continue to treat Yang Yingxue. This was the descendant of a heroic and loyal hero, and he should not be treated like this.

I was speechless and could only ask her to treat Yingxue well. My stepmother first dealt with the affairs of my sons Jiang Lu and Yu Minghua, and only then did she have time to spare. She sent two maids to our courtyard. Under their supervision, no servant dared to discuss this matter anymore.

In fact, everyone was wrong. The night before, after I admitted that I liked Yingxue, Yu Minghua suddenly asked me if I remembered that I had drawn two city defense maps to save her. Later, when the enemy army was completely wiped out, she took advantage of no one to search the pockets of the man who had died and retrieved the two city defense maps.

She said that she had given the two maps to her brother. If she died, her brother would take the city defense map I drew and annotated with me to the military headquarters to report my Ningyuan Marquisate for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of my family.

I was captured and imprisoned with many border residents at the time, and they all saw me draw the map to save her. They may not know who I am, or that I drew a fake map, but the Yu brothers and sisters knew them and me, so if they went to the military to report it, they would have both witnesses and evidence.

Even if the picture I drew was a fake, since my father was a general of the Western Route Army, it is difficult to say whether it was a cover-up and that was why I said it was a fake. I never expected that I was captured and forced to draw the picture in order to save her brother and sister, and now she is using it as a threat.

I can die, but my father and elder brother are completely innocent, and the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is innocent.

I was furious and said, "I shouldn't have saved you back then." Yu Minghua smiled and said, "Do you regret it? I might make you regret it even more tomorrow."

I still had feelings for her, and we had a daughter, so I thought she was just speaking in anger. But the next day, I stayed by Yingxue's side, just in case something happened. I never expected she would attack a young child and kill my son.
