Chapter 454 The more you trust someone, the more viciously they stab you
Madam Wu hurriedly spoke to stop her:
"Lan'er, don't let this vicious woman, Chen, deceive your mind. She is the one who wants to harm you."
"Ms. Chen is confusing right and wrong. What she said is all lies. She even threatened me, saying she would send you to a lowly place like a brothel."
Chen sneered. As expected, when people are pushed into a corner, even the smartest people will become confused.
Chen immediately said aggrievedly:
"Grandfather, how could you insult Lan'er and her aunt like this?"
"Brothels are lowly places, so what is a concubine who was born in a brothel? Is she a slut?"
"What is Lan'er, the one born by that bitch? Is she a little bitch?"
"Lan'er respects you so much, how can you call her a little bitch? Even though she is not from the Wu family, you can't humiliate her like this!"
Old Madam Wu was furious, holding her chest and gasping for breath. The bitch Chen deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of her words and made Lan'er misunderstand her.
Wu Lan'er's expression indeed became even uglier.
Today she not only wants to expose the bad things the old man has done, but also expose all of them!
She didn't care whether her mother, who came from a brothel, was humiliated or not; she only cared about her own reputation.
After all, she now has a stepmother to protect her.
Thinking of this, Wu Lan'er decided to start by talking about the things that the old man did to persecute her stepmother.
Wu Lan'er's eyes were red, and she said with great grievance:
"Mom, do you still remember that time ten years ago when you finally got pregnant again?"
Of course Chen would never forget it. It was one of the few times she had slept with Wu Zheng since he became paralyzed from the waist down.
She cherished that pregnancy very much and did not dare to announce it to the people in the mansion until she was three months pregnant and the baby was stable.
However, when the baby was six months old, she had an unexpected miscarriage. It was a fully grown boy.
Since then, her body was completely damaged and she never slept with Wu Zheng again.
Now that Wu Lan'er mentioned it, Chen's face was completely frozen.
She was certain that it was not an accident, but the old man's doing!
Chen's hands, hidden in her sleeves, were shaking, and she pretended to look heartbroken.
"How could mother forget? Your brother was due to be born in four months. Mother could even see his features clearly when she buried him."
As he spoke, two tears fell.
"Mother, your miscarriage wasn't an accident at all. It was because our ancestors were worried that you wouldn't be able to take good care of Wu Yunhai after you had a child."
"She deliberately ordered the servants to grease the path you take every day on your way to your father's yard."
"Mother, do you still remember the day you had your abortion? It had just rained, and the wet road surface mixed with oil and water made it impossible to see."
"So you didn't suspect anything, mother, and thought it was caused by the wet ground."
"In fact, all of this was caused by our ancestor. Even the injury you suffered later was caused by our ancestor. She had someone put a lot of blood-activating herbs in your tonic, which caused you to have a miscarriage and then a heavy hemorrhage. You almost died as a result."
Chen was completely furious. She always thought that she lost the child because she was not careful enough.
She always thought that she had fallen too hard, which caused her to bleed profusely and almost lose her life.
It turned out that all this was done by this old man, just to make her take care of Wu Yunhai wholeheartedly.
How could she not hate this!
Her children were so innocent. Her unborn child was killed, her son was sent to the border to suffer endless torture and contempt, and her daughter was tortured in Jiangnan.
All of this is caused by this old guy!
It was also this old man's contribution that sent Zhiyou away.
She said that she couldn't take care of Wu Zheng and Wu Yunhai, so she sent Zhiyou to her mother's home in Jiangnan to be taken care of.
How stupid she must have been to believe that the old man's suggestion was well-intentioned.
Now that I think about it, sending Zhiyou away was just to make way for Wu Lan'er. With Zhiyou as the legitimate daughter, Wu Lan'er would always be suppressed by Zhiyou.
The noble families in Kyoto City now only know Wu Lan'er, the concubine's daughter who rides on the mistress's head and acts wildly, but they don't know Zhiyou, the legitimate daughter.
"Grandfather, why do you treat me like this!"
"How could I, as your granddaughter-in-law, let you down?"
"Why did you kill my child?"
Chen almost yelled.
Old Madam Wu didn't say anything. Even if she did it, what could Chen do to her?
Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Ms. Chen, Lan'er is resentful of the old ancestor now, so not everything she said is true."
Chen and Wu Lan'er both felt a chill in their hearts.
Chen hated Wu Zheng because the truth was right in front of him, but he was still defending that old man.
Not only her child was killed, but also Wu Zheng's flesh and blood!
Wu Lan'er believed what Chen said, and it was very likely that she was not of the Wu family bloodline.
Her father has always been indifferent to her. If he knew the truth, it would be understandable that he treated her indifferently.
Now that she has made such reasonable and well-founded arguments, her father still doesn't believe her. It is obvious that he doesn't regard her as a relative.
No, she couldn't let her father keep protecting the old thing.
That would be bad for both her and her mother.
"Father, do you still remember that time when you clearly had the chance to stand up, but the Imperial Concubine spent a fortune on the medicine, but disappeared for no reason?"
Wu Zheng certainly remembered that when he learned that he still had a chance to stand up, he was so excited that he didn't sleep for two days and two nights.
As long as he can stand up again, he can recover as before and defend the kingdom of Nanchu for His Majesty.
But the medicine disappeared on the day the Empress sent it back to her residence from the palace.
Even though he searched the entire mansion upside down, he couldn't find the medicine. Even the prescription was gone.
Even if the prescription was found, the herbs in it were rare herbs that were rarely seen in a hundred years. In order to put together that decoction, the Queen spent a fortune.
He also knelt down with the others.
The imperial concubine in the side room didn't look much better either.
She knelt down to beg for that medicine from her brainless brother, step by step, for five hours.
No one knew what happened to her at that time. She downplayed it to everyone and said that she just knelt down to that person.
She thought she could help her brother recover, but the medicine she had begged for on her knees disappeared in the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion.
She always suspected that the old man was behind this, and she even rushed back to the mansion from the palace.
But how did my brother do it?
She was scolded for being disrespectful to the ancestors and was told that she could not disrespect her elders just because she was a noble concubine.
She felt extremely aggrieved at the time and returned to the palace in embarrassment without saying a word.
Since Wu Lan'er mentioned it now, the missing medicine must have been tampered with by that old man.
If she had ignored her brother's feelings, if she had ignored her brother's obstruction and directly overturned the old man's doghouse, would she have been able to find the medicine?
Chen Zhao listened to the aggrieved voice of the Imperial Concubine and felt sorry for her again.
Chen also figured out the trick.
Unsure asked:
"Lan'er, are you trying to say that the original medicine was also taken away by our ancestors?"
