Hearing Xiao Yunchen's calm question, Ruliu answered while treating her wound.
"Find out some things." Ru Liu recalled the scene she had just seen in the yard, and felt sorry for her master.
It was in vain that his young master had fallen out with both the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the General of the Cavalry's Mansion because of the Second Madam's matter. Unexpectedly, not only did his Madam not die, but she became entangled with other men after coming here!
Ru Liu told all the information he had found out, and then continued speaking indignantly at the end.
"From what I heard from the other neighbors in that alley, Aunt Pei initially favored her youngest son and the Second Wife, but then, for some reason, they were snatched away by Pei Shoubei. Aunt Pei was furious about this for a long time. Later, seeing that the relationship between the Second Wife and Pei Shoubei was getting better and better, she slowly came to terms with their relationship."
Ru Liu treated the wound and collected the bloody gauze and medicine beside it. She then said, "Oh, by the way, the eldest lady also gave birth to a girl. I heard that child wasn't the eldest son and was short-lived. But there's something strange. Judging from the time the eldest lady gave birth to the child, she must have been conceived while she was in the capital."
Ru Liu said in disbelief, "I didn't expect it wasn't the eldest son's? Does that mean the eldest lady was really hooking up with other men while in the capital, as the rumors say?"
Xiao Yunchen took off his bloody robe and put on a clean one while saying, "That child should be Big Brother's, but...why was she able to give birth to that child safely?"
Xiao Yunchen thought about how Li Nian had an imperial physician checking his pulse every day before his death and had to drink antidote medicine every day. Logically, under such circumstances, the child would not have survived.
Moreover, his eldest sister-in-law's body was kept in the Xiao Mansion for seven days, and his wife's body was also kept in the Xiao Mansion for seven days, and he and his eldest brother watched their bodies being buried with their own eyes.
How did they survive and crawl out of the tomb without any signs of damage?
Xiao Yunchen thought about the two people's completely different personalities since they got married. Could it be... that this person is not that person?
He put on his clothes, turned his head to look at Ruliu, and said in a low and dark voice, "The old mother of the Pei family probably doesn't know Sisi's true identity. You should find a way to reveal it to her. You can't let the old lady be kept in the dark forever."
