She was really afraid that Xie Jin would drive her away regardless.
Xie Jin naturally had no time to deal with her.
Killing the chicken, plucking the feathers, making soup, none of them is more important than taking care of her.
Qingyin slept very well. When she woke up, she found that Xie Jin was no longer on the bed, only his pillow was left.
Qingyin didn't expect that just as she opened the door, she would see a figure rushing towards her and hugging her, "Sister Yin, I'm glad you're okay. You didn't know that when I heard the news that you fell into the water, I was scared to death. I wanted to come to see you, I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter.
"Sister Ayin, how did you fall into the lake? When I was a kid, I almost fell into the lake because I missed a step. My father ordered people to plant a circle of flowers and plants so that even if I could enjoy the scenery, I wouldn't be too close to the lake. Now it seems that these flowers and plants are useless."
"An Rou..."
"Um?"
"Actually, I... didn't fall down by myself."
"Didn't she fall down by herself?" An Rou repeated blankly, her eyes slowly turning red, her voice choking. "Was it...her?"
At this moment, the word "mother" was in her mouth, but she couldn't say it out.
Drugging? Murder?
What on earth could she not do now?
But why?
Why do you want to harm Sister Ayin?
No! She had to ask for clarification.
An Rou wiped her tears and said, "Sister Ayin, I will definitely seek justice for you."
After saying that, she ran away quickly without even noticing Qingyin calling her.
Qingyin was about to chase after him when Xie Jin came out of the kitchen. "Sister, come here and help me see what else I should put in the soup."
Qingyin paused and saw that the person had opened the door and ran away, so she had to return to the kitchen.
Looking at the casserole filled with a chicken, her mouth twitched, "Where did you get this?"
Xie Jin didn't know what he was thinking about, and said quickly: "Don't worry, I bought it."
Qingyin pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't say you didn't buy it!"
Xie Jin knew that Qingyin had also remembered it.
But just remember it when you think about it.
Anyway, the chicken that flew into his yard must be for Ayin to eat!
Compared to the warmth in the kitchen, the atmosphere in the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion was solemn, with even smoke everywhere.
Yi Yuanzhou looked at his former lover, now his wife, with a look of disbelief on his face, "You, what did you just say?"
Mrs. Lu sneered, "This Qing is a dishonest person. After being discovered, she threw herself into the lake. What does it have to do with me?"
right!
This is the purpose of the broken hairpin.
If Qing was lucky enough to survive, then there would naturally be a reason for him to jump into the lake.
Yi Yuanzhou was not born into a humble family. The Yi family was once a well-known family in the capital. He only came here to be a small county magistrate because his family fell into poverty.
Yesterday's incident concerned Xie Jin, so he had to investigate it thoroughly so that he could give an explanation to the newly crowned champion.
But unexpectedly, after investigating, all the clues pointed to his wife.
He immediately asked someone to stop and came over to ask in person.
Before he came, he still thought it might be a misunderstanding.
Now hearing her tone, he finally knew that there was no misunderstanding at all.
He sighed deeply, "Tell me, what exactly is going on this time?"
After that incident, Mrs. Lu became a completely different person.
Such a beautiful and kind person, but he turned out to be cruel and ruthless.
That's all.
He was indeed wrong to her in what happened back then.
Thinking of this, Yi Yuanzhou's expression softened, "Ayuan."
Mrs. Lu was unmoved. She pinched her handkerchief and said, "I want Ying'er and An Rou to go to the capital together."
An Rou had agreed to it before.
Unexpectedly, she changed her mind later.
At first, she coaxed her patiently.
Unexpectedly, she knew there was something wrong with the line.
Now that she knew, she would definitely not agree to let Ying'er go to Beijing, so now Yi Yuanzhou had no choice but to nod.
"No! If An Rou goes to Beijing, she will marry into the Anguo Mansion. What will it look like if Ying'er goes with her?" Yi Yuanzhou refused without thinking.
Mrs. Lu seemed to have guessed this and ignored Yi Yuanzhou's refusal. Instead, she continued, "Ying'er is already fifteen this year. If she stays here, she can only marry a scholar at best. But if she goes to the capital, with An Rou's help, she might be able to find a good match."
Yi Yuanzhou frowned, "If this marriage is based on family connections, it won't be happy."
An Rou, who had just rushed into the yard to look for Mrs. Lu, stopped in her tracks.
So, did I think wrong?
My mother didn't want my sister to share a husband with her at all.
Mrs. Lu smiled, as if she was laughing at Yi Yuanzhou's naivety, but she finally restrained herself a little. "I don't blame you for not making plans for my daughter, but you can't stop me from making plans for my daughter."
Yi Yuanzhou was also amused by this. "You don't know what the capital is like. If it was really that easy to plot against, why would we stay here? Anyway, I'm telling you, I won't agree to this."
"Why don't you agree? I must send Ying'er to the capital. If you don't agree, then let Ying'er and An Rou marry in exchange. Ying'er has already reached marriage age, so if An Rou can marry, then she can too!"
Yi Yuanzhou was so shocked by these words that he recovered for a long time. He stammered, "When did you know?"
"How should I know? Or rather, when did you, Yi Yuanzhou, start hiding this from me?"
Poor thing, her first child, born after ten months of pregnancy, was killed by her biological father.
Yi Yuanzhou took a step back in a daze, "Ayuan, listen to me, things are not what you think."
Mrs. Lu asked back, "It's not what I thought. Let me ask you, is An Rou my biological daughter? Is she or isn't she?"
An Rou, who hadn't recovered from the marriage exchange yet, was nailed to the spot by this sentence.
Mother...what else do you want to say?
The servants all said that she looked more like her mother than her younger sister, so how could she not be her mother's biological child?
"An Rou, of course she's your child, she..." Before he could finish his words, Madam Lu interrupted him with an angry roar, "Yi Yuanzhou, are you still lying to me? I gave birth to this child with all my effort, how could I not recognize her? You may not know that on the day I gave birth to the child, I forced myself to take a look at her. She had a small red birthmark behind her ear.
However, when I woke up after three days of coma, the red birthmark was gone. I comforted myself that maybe I had seen it wrong, or maybe it was blood that the midwife did not wipe clean.
But seeing the way you didn't dare look at me, I knew you must be hiding something from me, so that night, I brought you a pot of wine."
Yi Yuanzhou also recalled that night when Mrs. Lu suddenly mentioned that she had obtained a bottle of precious daughter's red wine. "What did I say that night?"
"What did you say?" Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Let me think about it. After all, you said a lot that night. For example, how did you get my eldest sister pregnant with your child? And how did you replace my child?"
