That day, no one held a knife to his neck and forced him to confess. It was Qin Su'an who confessed on his own initiative.
"With so many people present at the time, how could I have done this without admitting it?"
Xie Wanyun still held onto a glimmer of hope, "That child, that child..."
Marquis Yuanxing replied patiently: "Lost it."
"What?"
"I said it was lost!"
"Where did you lose it?"
"If you leave it outside in the middle of winter, it might get taken away by stray dogs!"
"you!"
Xie Wanyun spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Marquis Yuanxing watched coldly and said sarcastically, "It's because you didn't observe the virtues of a woman that you ended up like this!"
"Qin, Su, An!"
She fell back on the bed, using up her last bit of strength.
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
…
The autumn rain in September is slightly cold.
The window of the Buddhist temple was half open, and a light rain was falling.
Xie Wanyun knelt in front of the Buddha, staring at the golden Buddha statue enshrined on the table in a trance.
Am I reborn?
"Grandpa, his wife, and the old lady are all looking through the almanac in the hall to choose a date. When the time comes, they will burn incense and offer sacrifices to the ancestors, then sign the adoption agreement, have a family reunion dinner, and the adoption ceremony will be completed..." Mother Liu's voice was not very sincere.
Xie Wanyun only heard the word "adoption" and was stunned.
This seems to be the fifth year of being married to Qin Suan.
The man brought back a young and beautiful mistress and a six-year-old child from outside.
Qin Su'an not only wanted to promote this concubine to a noble position, but also joined forces with Old Lady Qin to pressure her to adopt the child under her name and make him her legitimate son.
Xie Wan Ning naturally refused, and the old lady locked her up in a Buddhist temple for several days in the name of meditation and cultivation. She was only given half a bowl of rice porridge every day, and she almost starved to death.
The strong feeling of hunger in his stomach seemed to tell Xie Wanyun that this was not a dream.
She was truly reborn!
"Madam, please forgive me for being so nosy. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. You and I have been married for five years without a child, and you still forbid me to take a concubine. The rumors spread so horribly! Fortunately, the old lady understood you and decided to adopt the concubine's son into your name, thus silencing the gossip."
Mother Liu chattered incessantly.
"I don't have any children..."
Xie Wanyun repeated what Mother Liu said. The memories before her death filled her eyes with hatred.
"My child was clearly... taken away by a stray dog..."
"Madam, please be more open-minded and don't be angry with the old lady. Anyway, the child is registered in your name, so he is your child...Madam, what did you just say?" Mother Liu paused and asked in confusion.
"You're right."
Xie Wanyun stood up shakily. His voice was hoarse from not having eaten or drunk anything for several days. "Then let's go and take a look."
"Ma'am, where are you going?"
Mother Liu was surprised to find that the person in front of the Buddha had already walked to the door.
"You can't leave the Buddhist hall. The old lady told you to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and meditate these days..." Mother Liu hurriedly stopped him, but before she finished her words, a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Xie Wanyun's slender hand lightly pinched Mother Liu's neck, and her cold, inky eyes looked at her with an exceptionally icy expression.
It seems like what I am looking at is not a living person, but a dead object.
"Husband... Madam?" Mother Liu knew that Madam had often acted and spoken in an extreme manner since she lost her son, and her legs trembled with fear.
Xie Wanyun: "Get out of the way."
Mother Liu made way.
Xie Wanyun let go of his hand and walked out of the Buddhist hall.
"Crazy..." Mother Liu didn't react until the thin figure disappeared. "Hurry up and tell the old lady in the front room! The lady is really crazy!"
