Chapter 68 Cruel
Chen Wan and Shan Hu hid behind the tree and peeked.
I was just peeking, I was far away and couldn't hear a word.
But even if they couldn't hear it, just seeing it was enough to make them blush.
The master and servant covered their eyes, but the gaps between their fingers were bigger than each other and could be seen clearly.
Chen Yu was carried away by the Prince of Zhaoping. She struggled hard, and the Prince of Zhaoping had no choice but to let her go. The two must have had an argument. Chen Yu tried to leave several times, but the Prince of Zhaoping couldn't stop her and simply kissed her.
In a rage, Chen Yu slapped the Prince of Zhaoping.
The Prince of Zhaoping pretended to be in pain from his wound, and Chen Yu was still concerned about his injury after beating him. In the end, she probably realized that he was pretending and turned away angrily.
Shen Yu got on the carriage, and the Prince of Zhaoping did not chase her anymore. Only then did Shen Wan get on the carriage. He was very sensible and did not ask a single word.
The two of them took a carriage back to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and the Prince of Zhaoping followed behind to escort them. They left only when they were almost at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Arriving at Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the carriage stopped. When Shen Wan got out of the carriage, he saw someone kneeling outside the gate. The figure looked familiar.
He is the Prince of Yongqing!
Wasn't he about to marry his cousin? Why was he kneeling outside the Duke Dingguo's mansion?
Chen Wan suddenly remembered what the Prince of Zhaoping said, that people outside the mansion were saying that Chen Yu was pregnant, and she immediately became furious.
Shen Wan wanted to order the servant to go to the second gate, but it was too late. The wife of the Yongqing Marquis had already seen Shen Yu sitting in the carriage and hurried over to say, "Yu'er, it was our Yongqing Marquis's Mansion that wronged you before, but the child is innocent. We can't let the child be born without a father..."
Chen Yu's face looked as ugly as an eggplant hit by frost.
Shen Wan suppressed her nausea and said, "That's what Madam Yongqing thought, so she wants to kill my eldest sister to make room for the prince's cousin, right?"
It is said that one should not hit people in the face, but Shen Wan hit Lady Yongqing directly in the face.
The wife of the Yongqing Marquis had a stiff expression. "What happened before is over. My Yongqing Marquis's Mansion has also learned a lesson. We can't let the child be born in the Dingguo Duke's Mansion."
She keeps talking about the child. Who on earth is spreading the news that her elder sister is pregnant?
Lady Yongqing really said it so easily. The matter has already passed. It turned out that it was not her son who was frightened by the horse and almost fell off the cliff and died. It doesn't matter, right?
Shen Wan got out of the carriage, "Eldest sister, let's go back home."
Shen Yu didn't want to see the Lady of Yongqing, but she wouldn't hide in the carriage, so she got out.
The wife of the Yongqing Earl tried to pull Chen Yu's arm, but she dodged and walked straight into the mansion. The Yongqing Earl's son knelt on the ground with a thorn on his back and shouted, "Ayu..."
Madam Yongqing looked at Chen Yu, "Are you so cruel?"
Who is so cruel?!
Chen Wan's anger surged to his head, "The wife of the Crown Prince of your Yongqing Marquis' Mansion has died at the foot of that cliff. The only one alive is my eldest sister, who has nothing to do with your Yongqing Marquis' Mansion!"
Lady Yongqing disliked Chen Wan very much, a junior who repeatedly confronted her so much that she couldn't respond.
Lady Yongqing said, "Children are always innocent."
Shen Wanting laughed and said, "Why didn't Madam Yongqing bring a doctor?"
The wife of the Yongqing Earl froze, "Why did you bring the doctor here?"
Shen Wan asked, "Who told you that my eldest sister is pregnant?"
Lady Yongqing was stunned. "Could it be that there isn't one?"
Shen Wan said, "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say there's nothing. Ask two more doctors to come so that we can give up hope."
The Yongqing Marquis's Mansion does not really care about offspring, but just offended his father. These days, Yongqing Marquis has a hard time in the court. The Yongqing Marquis's son has only the title of prince, but he can never be an official in the court in his life. The reputation of being cruel and ruthless, having an affair with his cousin and killing his wife will follow him for the rest of his life, and he will be criticized behind his back all his life.
Now that the rumor has spread that his elder sister is pregnant, he has come to apologize again, hoping to use the child to take Chen Yu back, reconcile the broken relationship, and make the two families become relatives again. With his father's intercession, the future career of the Prince of Yongqing will be smooth.
The abacus beads all fell on her face.
If she wants to take her elder sister back home after putting her elder sister to death and apologize for her crime, then the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is too easy to bully.
The wife of the Earl of Yongqing was pale. Before she came, the Earl of Yongqing had told her that if she could not bring Shen Yu back, then she and her son should not go back either.
But the rumors are spreading like wildfire, how could she not be pregnant?
Chen Wan didn't bother to pay attention to her. She took Chen Yu's hand and was about to enter the mansion. Lady Yongqing said in disbelief, "How could it be known to everyone in Kyoto if you're not pregnant?"
Chen Wan wanted to ask the servants to drive them away, "Hasn't what I said been clear enough? My eldest sister is not pregnant. If you don't believe me, please call a doctor."
If these words weren't enough to dissuade them, she didn't mind adding a little more harshness. "You, the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion, were so cruel as to kill a living being like my elder sister. How could you be so confident that if my elder sister were to become pregnant, my Dingguo Duke's Mansion would be reluctant to abort her and push her into the fire pit of your Yongqing Marquis' Mansion?"
This is the final word.
Not to mention that she is not pregnant, even if she is pregnant, she will have an abortion.
The wife of the Yongqing Earl was pale and on the verge of collapse.
Shen Wan pulled Shen Yu into the house, but her face looked very bad. She was eager to find out how the rumors started.
Her elder sister had been married to the prince of Yongqing for two years and had never been pregnant. She was forced to take all kinds of medicine to regulate her body. He also used the excuse of going to Jingmiao Temple to pray for a child to murder her elder sister. This happened unexpectedly.
There is nothing more cruel than killing someone and destroying their heart.
When Chen Wan led Chen Yu into the second gate, Yun came hurriedly and asked Chen Yu, "Are you really pregnant?"
Shen Wan said angrily, “How could mother believe the rumors spread outside?”
Yun's voice rose at first, then fell again, "No? That's good..."
If she really got pregnant, Yun really wouldn't know what to do.
Chen Yu had been married for two years and had taken countless medicines before she got pregnant. If she had an abortion, Yun was afraid that Chen Yu would never be able to have children again. But if she didn't have an abortion, she didn't want a grandson with the blood of the Yongqing Marquis's Mansion in his body. Besides, it wasn't like Chen Yu would be unable to have children when she got married in the future.
Fortunately not.
Yun said angrily, "How did this rumor spread?"
Shanhu followed beside her and said, "Could it be that Hongxiu vomited in the eldest lady's room that day? I heard Yinchuan say that the little maid in the yard was gossiping and suspected that the eldest lady was pregnant. Yinchuan said she scolded the gossipy little maid severely..."
No doubt about it, it must be like this!
Hongxiu was vomiting in her eldest sister's room. Two days later, they went to Huguo Temple and were assassinated.
She had been wondering why someone would want to kill her elder sister, but now she understood everything: someone didn't want her elder sister to return to the Yongqing Marquis' Mansion while pregnant!
Shen Wan suspected that someone in the Duke's Mansion leaked the news to the Xu family.
The eldest sister's pregnancy will only endanger Xu Zhiyi's status, and will not affect anyone else.
Thinking of Shen Wu's evasive look when she mentioned this before, this matter must be related to the second house!
Second wife likes to watch the fun, right?
She will let the second wife watch the fun to her heart's content today!
Shen Wan suppressed his anger and told Shanhu, "Ask Manager Li to invite a doctor into the mansion."
