Chapter 41 He Lian is pregnant
"Auntie He, my young lady has no ill intentions." Lian Xin continued, "My young lady is here to help you!"
Lianxin's voice was clear and crisp, and every word was seen by Widow He. She clenched her hands tightly. At the beginning, that bastard Xiao Wenxing said the same thing, saying that he would come to help them!
But what in the end?
Lian'er was bullied and went crazy. Changqing went to jail for hurting Xiao Wenxing. She and Lian'er were able to live in the village because she risked her life. Otherwise...
Widow He rushed out with a kitchen knife in hand. She opened the door, raised the knife high, and looked like she was going to kill someone. She shouted like a madman, "There is not a single good person in the Xiao family!"
"Be careful." Lianxin protected Xiao Jiuyue and retreated repeatedly, fearing that the crazy widow He would hurt Xiao Jiuyue.
"Get out, get out now." Widow He shouted at the top of her voice, waving the kitchen knife in her hand wildly, with a look of resentment in her eyes, as if she wanted to eat her!
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream erupted from the room. Widow He glanced at them viciously and said, "People with the surname Xiao are not welcome in my home."
Widow He hurried back to the house and saw He Lian huddled in the corner of the bed. She said with a look of panic and fear, "Don't come over here, don't come over here."
"Mom, I'm scared."
"mother."
He Lian's voice was panicked. Widow He hugged He Lian tightly with heartache, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Lian'er, don't be afraid. Mother is here. No one can bully you!"
Unlike the murderous voice just now, this voice was as gentle as an ordinary woman!
"Miss, how about we just go?" Lianxin swallowed her saliva. The way Widow He slashed around with a knife just now was really scary!
Especially the look in Widow He's eyes, the hairs on her back stood up and goose bumps appeared. She always felt that the next moment, Widow He would go crazy and chop her to death with a knife.
"Stay outside." Xiao Jiuyue looked at her pale face due to fear, walked forward and pushed open the gate.
Lianxin overcame her fear, followed her and said, "Miss, I have to follow you." If Widow He went crazy, she would push the young lady away.
The He family was poor, and looking around, Xiao Jiuyue didn't see a single decent item: a table with a hole in it, a stool with a broken leg, a teacup made of a bamboo tube...
Further in, there is a simple bed covered with a thin quilt.
"You, what are you doing here?" Widow He turned around after hearing the noise and growled in a low voice, "Get out of here!"
"Don't be afraid." Widow He blocked He Lian with most of her body, picked up the kitchen knife next to her, and signaled them to leave quickly.
"Auntie He, don't you want to rescue He Changqing?" Xiao Jiuyue said this and turned around to stand in the yard outside. It can be seen that Widow He is a hardworking person. She keeps the yard clean. There is a vegetable patch behind the kitchen, and the ridges there are like long strips of tofu.
Widow He couldn't sit still any longer, so she quickly followed her into the yard, looking at her with burning eyes: "You, can you save Changqing?"
"Then it depends on you." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Widow He. She looked to be in her thirties or forties, but half of her hair was white.
Widow He looked at her warily: "Are you a member of the Xiao family? Would you Xiao family be so kind to help me?" Widow He dreamed of rescuing her son. If possible, she would rather go to jail herself than let her son go to jail.
"Xiao Jiuyue returned to Fu'an Village more than half a month ago." Xiao Jiuyue introduced herself and said, "The Xiao family in Shengjing never allows Xiao family members, let alone servants, to use the Xiao family's name to bully others. I also heard about He Changqing's situation."
"It was that bastard Xiao Wenxing who bullied Lian'er, and that's why Changqing got so angry that he attacked." Widow He explained anxiously. When she listened to the Xiao family in Shengjing, a hope suddenly arose in Widow He's heart. Changqing, can he really be rescued?
"Miss Xiao, can you help Changqing? He is still so young and cannot spend his whole life in jail." Widow He looked at Xiao Jiuyue's incredibly beautiful face, with pleading in her eyes.
"Aunt He, can you tell me in detail what happened that day?" Xiao Jiuyue asked instead of answering.
"That day..."
Widow He seemed to be lost in memories. The eldest son, He Changshun, was beaten dozens of times by Madam Gan's guards because he startled Madam Gan's carriage. He returned home dying and died within a day.
In order to make a living, He Changqing went to the county to do odd jobs every day. One day, He Lian went to the mountain to pick mushrooms, but she came home with messy clothes. She was spotted by He Changqing who was returning home. He Changqing was impulsive and went straight to the place where He Lian had the accident and killed Xiao Wenxing.
He Changqing came back covered in blood, and he took the initiative to go to the county government office to surrender himself.
"The Xiao family didn't make things difficult for you?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Widow He. Her words were worthy of sympathy, but what puzzled her most was that, given Gan Li's personality, how could she let He Changqing go after her son's life was crippled? How could she let Widow He and He Lian go?
"Because Changqing saved your life before, we are able to keep Changqing safe in prison." Widow He was vague. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and asked, "Miss Xiao, can you save Changqing?"
Xiao Jiuyue didn't hear any key evidence that could overturn the case. She asked, "Widow He, can I speak to He Lian?"
"Lian'er went crazy after Changqing got into trouble." Widow He saw that Xiao Jiuyue didn't answer her question directly, and her guard rose again. She stared at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "What do you want to see my Lian'er do? Are you in cahoots with that Madam Xiao? Do you want to take Lian'er away?"
Widow He's pupils shrank slightly, and she picked up the kitchen knife at her waist, and returned to her previous expression of wanting to chop someone.
Lianxin grabbed Xiao Jiuyue's clothes, fearing that Widow He would chop her off at will.
"If I'm not mistaken, He Lian is pregnant." Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flashed slightly.
"No, don't talk nonsense." Widow He picked up the kitchen knife in a panic and chopped at Xiao Jiuyue.
When Jin Wu saw this, he raised his foot and snatched the kitchen knife from Widow He's hand.
"You don't want to help me save Changqing at all, you liar!" Widow He said gritting her teeth. The kitchen knife was snatched away, and she rushed forward. If she couldn't kill her, she would tear her mouth apart!
"If I really had bad intentions, I would have just snatched He Lian away. Why would I bother wasting time talking to you?" Xiao Jiuyue didn't back down at all. She stared at Widow He and said, "If you want to rescue He Changqing, then you have to trust me. Otherwise, even a god can't save him!"
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Xiao Jiuyue's body, making her orange skirt seem to emit a bright glow. Her eyes were sharp and her tone was firm, which made people trust her.
