"You can't say that. Miss Chu was deceived. Even if she divorced and returned home, it wasn't her fault. I don't know if anyone wants her, but she will divorce for sure."
"The people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion have always been upright and strict. It is impossible for them to continue to tolerate being deceived."
"I heard that the Duke's wife brought the imperial physician to the Zhang family. Is she suspecting that Zhang Chunrong can't have children? No, no, I have to go to the Zhang family's door to take a look."
"I'll go too. Let's go together and see how this matter is handled."
With someone taking the lead, all the curious people followed together. Since there was nothing to do during the New Year, it seemed like a nice idea to go out for a walk and eat some melons.
The Zhang family’s melon is the first one to pop up in the New Year, and it’s still fresh and hot.
The silly woman returned to the back door of Zhang's house and hid aside to laugh. She plotted against Cheng Shi the same way she had plotted against her in the past.
Originally, she was Zhang Deji's maid. When Cheng came into the house, he thought she was too beautiful and wrongly accused her of stealing jewelry from the mistress's room. Zhang Deji then rejected her and sent her to the farm to be married off.
If she had been given a good man of similar age, she would have accepted it, but instead they found her a lame old bachelor.
How could she recognize it?
I don't expect anything else in this life except revenge for myself and to bring shame to the Cheng family.
She still remembered the warmth that the eldest young lady had given her when she returned to the mansion that year. She had always kept it in her heart. In order to stay in the mansion, she pretended to be crazy and stupid, waiting for the opportunity.
Today is a good opportunity, and it is also the time for her to repay the eldest young lady. She knows that if she does this, she will be silenced if Cheng finds out.
So what?
All she wanted was revenge.
Zhang Chunrong put on his clothes, washed up, and came to see Chu Zhiyin. When he saw Yang there, he looked embarrassed and ashamed.
Not only was his cheating caught by the wife of the principal wife, but also by the wife of the Duke. How unlucky he was.
"Yin'er!......"
Chu Zhiyin raised her hand to interrupt him and stood up: "Don't mention what happened today, I don't care, as long as you can get past your father, come with me first."
Zhang Chunrong was delighted, and a hint of contempt and pride flashed in his eyes.
Humph, he knew that Chu Zhiyin would not dare to do anything to him. How could a hen that doesn't lay eggs have the qualifications to point fingers at him?
[Ah! Zhang Chunrong is not Madam Zhang’s biological son. He is infertile because he was poisoned.]
Yang: “…”
Poisoned? Who poisoned him?
What? Chu Zhiyin almost stumbled and fell after hearing this, but fortunately a maid held her up.
Yang came over and held her hand tightly: "Yin'er! Cheer up."
[Let me see! Who poisoned him? Oh! Oh! So that's how it is.]
How is it? Come on! How is it?
Yang and Chu Zhiyin held their breath, afraid of missing Chu Xiaoxiao's voice. They really wanted to know what happened to Zhang Chunrong, why was she poisoned? Who was the one who poisoned her?
[Zhang Chunrong was the son of Mr. Zhang and his concubine. Mrs. Zhang also gave birth to a son, but he died three days later because she could not raise him. In order to consolidate his position, he took the son born by his concubine and passed him off as his own. He was afraid that he would have children who would bully his biological son, so he poisoned him to make him infertile.]
Yang: “…”
So that's how it is. No wonder Mrs. Zhang wanted to control Zhang Chunrong and force his wife to give birth to her brother-in-law's child. It turns out that this was all to pave the way for her son to make money.
This Mrs. Zhang is really capable. She smiles at everyone every day, but she hides a dagger in her smile. She is sweet-mouthed but has a sharp tongue and is extremely vicious.
Chu Zhiyin was completely stunned, her mind was blank, and she couldn't think at all. She looked back at Zhang Chunrong behind her with a complicated look in her eyes.
Things were becoming more and more out of control. She had to go back and call all the members of the Chu family. She was afraid that she couldn't do it alone.
Yang gave Furong a look, and Furong understood it immediately. She whispered something to the maid behind her, and the maid turned around and left.
The Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
The old duke and the old lady were very angry when they learned what Zhang Chunrong had done.
Immediately send Chu Zhinan, Chu Zhixi, Yu and Wang to go to Zhang's house to check. No matter what, we must not let our daughter suffer any loss this time.
The Chu family knew about the Zhang family.
Chu Zhinan and Chu Zhixi rode on horseback, while Yu and Wang came to Zhang's house in carriages.
When Imperial Physician Wang saw that Yang had finally brought Zhang Chunrong over, he immediately stood up, grabbed Zhang Chunrong's wrist to feel his pulse, and then made a "hiss" sound.
Seeing how rude he was, the butler wanted to say something, but seeing that Imperial Physician Wang didn't seem to have figured out what was wrong with the young master, he kept silent and just stood there waiting.
Zhang Chunrong was very disgusted with Wang's behavior, but he just made a mistake and didn't dare to confront Chu Zhiyin again. The imperial physician was brought by Yang, and it seemed that his purpose was to treat him.
It didn't matter even if the fact that he was infertile was exposed. After tonight, he would think of other ways to control Chu Zhiyin.
The woman was very soft-hearted, and after being coaxed by him with just a few words, she would take out any good thing and give it to him.
Yang watched from the side, and Zhang Chunrong did not dare to act strangely and let Imperial Physician Wang take his pulse.
After finishing the examination, Imperial Physician Wang frowned, stroked his sparse beard, thought carefully, and then asked, "Was Young Master Zhang extremely afraid of cold when he was young?"
Zhang Chunrong paused and replied unnaturally: "Yes, there were a few years when I was very afraid of the cold."
"When did you start to no longer be afraid of the cold?" asked Imperial Physician Wang.
"Fourteen or fifteen years old." Zhang Chunrong answered straightforwardly.
Imperial Physician Wang looked at him with a look of pity: "That's it. Young Master Zhang was poisoned since he was very young. The poison has no effect on anything else except getting a woman pregnant.
The only characteristic of poison is that it easily makes people feel cold. After the age of fifteen, you will no longer feel cold because the effect of the poison has been exerted and you don’t need to take medicine anymore.”
"What? Poisoning?"
Zhang Chunrong was so frightened that he fell into his chair with a pale face.
"Who dares to poison me?"
So his infertility was not congenital, but was caused by someone poisoning him? Who? Who was so cruel to him? Poisoned him when he was young? And the poison was enough to kill him off?
The butler standing by broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. This Imperial Physician Wang was too amazing. He could tell what was wrong with the eldest young master just by taking his pulse.
If this were to be revealed, the master would probably divorce his wife outright, and he, as an accomplice, would not end up well either.
what to do?
Why haven't the master and his wife come back yet? The Duke's wife is not someone he can easily fool and send away.
It seems that the Chu family came prepared!
[Alas! Zhang Chunrong is just an idiot. Is it even necessary to ask who dared to poison him? He has no offspring, so whoever benefits from him will be the one.]
Yang calmly asked Chu Zhiyin to walk to Wang Imperial Physician: "Wang Imperial Physician! Please take my little sister's pulse."
Imperial Physician Wang nodded, raised his hand to check Chu Zhiyin's pulse, and said after a moment: "Miss Chu is fine, she is just a little too worried and has insomnia. I'll prescribe a prescription of tranquilizing soup for a few days and she will be fine."
"Doctor Wang means that I am in good health and will not be unable to have children?"
