Liao secretly gritted her teeth, and she secretly guessed in her heart that Jiang Shu's action must have been intentional!
She tried her best to hold on to the quilt, but Jiang Shu still easily lifted the veil.
When Xia Zhiyu saw Liao lying on the bed, a glimmer of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Things have developed to this point, and she can no longer stay out of it, so she must at least drag Liao into it!
"Madam, look, she's clearly a woman, not some demigod! You clearly entered the room by mistake!" Xia Zhiyu stepped forward and without hesitation, completely removed the quilt from Liao's body. He grabbed Liao's hair tightly and dragged her off the bed, exposing her face to everyone. "You slut, how dare you seduce the Duke and cause Madam's miscarriage? How can you bear the responsibility for this crime?"
Hao Ren thought to himself that something was wrong, but it was too late to change the situation.
Liao was exposed in front of everyone, her mind was blank, and her heart was filled with resentment towards Xia Zhiyu, the fierce woman!
"Ah! It's you!"
When Xia Zhiyu dragged Liao in front of everyone and turned around to meet her eyes, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Liao's eyes were wide open, almost spitting fire, and she stared at Xia Zhiyu viciously.
How could all of this be planned by that ignorant woman? A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. Obviously, Jiang Shu's scheming and cunning were far from enough to be able to turn the tide in such a storm.
She knew Jiang Shu better than anyone else. If Jiang Shu was truly that scheming, why would she reveal her illicit relationship with Hao Ren at this critical moment? Recalling the intimate tenderness between Jiang Shu and Hao Ren that day in the Duke's Mansion's wing room, this villain must have known everything!
She had underestimated Xia Zhiyu. This plain-looking woman actually hid such deep scheming and methods!
Jiang Songyi seemed to suddenly realize something. She covered her mouth in fear and cried out in a trembling voice, "Liao, how could it be you?"
Although Jiang Shu had heard of Liao many times from her family and Jiang Songyi's conversations - she was Jiang Yuyao's biological mother and the mother of Hao Ren's illegitimate daughter - this was her first time meeting Liao face to face.
Liao Shi didn't show much surprise at Xia Zhiyu and Jiang Songyi's shock. She simply looked down at Liao Qianqian, who was curled up on the ground in dishevel, and said with contempt, "You, do you know this woman from a prostitute's family?"
Liao Qianqian felt as if her dignity had been stripped away. The humiliation brought her back to her miserable childhood in the Jiaofangsi, a time when she was trampled upon by others. She was filled with hatred for a wealthy and noble lady like Jiang Shu.
Jiang Songyi seemed to be having trouble speaking, her voice a little hoarse. "Aunt, she's not a prostitute, but the Liao who switched with you before, and she's also Sister Yuyao's biological mother."
A gleam of resentment flashed in Liao Qianqian's eyes, and she stared at Jiang Songyi.
This little bitch actually dared to involve Yuyao!
[Humph, I will not only drag Jiang Yuyao into the water, but also drag Liao Lingxi into the abyss!]
Jiang Songyi read Liao Qianqian's resentment and anger in her eyes, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of relief. She turned her gaze towards Xia Zhiyu in confusion, "Has Aunt Xia also met with her?"
At this moment, Xia Zhiyu was afraid that Jiang Shu would put the blame for the miscarriage on him, so he revealed Liao's true identity without hesitation.
"That's right. She was once my cousin's student and Liao Lingxi's biological mother. Not long ago, she was living in my mansion. It was the residence I personally arranged for her. Who would have thought that she would dare to take this opportunity to seduce my cousin? Her intentions are truly sinister!"
Xia Zhiyu gently tugged at the thin handkerchief in her hand and stared at Hao Ren with resentment in her eyes.
She would not be so naive as to reveal the secret identities of Liao Lingxi and Jiang Yuyao, allowing the illegitimate children to enter the house and recognize their ancestors.
She wants to make the Liao family bear the stigma of betrayal!
"I'm wronged, this is all a misunderstanding! I was plotted against today, Songyi, don't you want to believe in your adoptive mother's innocence?" Liao Qianqian is now in a situation where she is surrounded by enemies, and Hao Ren is also unable to take care of himself.
If Jiang Songyi valued her reputation, she would not have brought such shame upon her adoptive mother.
Jiang Songyi sneered.
[Does the Liao family still want to use filial piety and reputation to blackmail me like they did in the past?]
She was about to retort, but Jiang Shu got there first and slapped Liao in the face with a loud slap.
"How dare you, such a shameless person, call yourself Song Yi's adoptive mother? You are nothing but a thief! Our Song Yi only has one mother, Xu!"
Jiang Shu pulled Jiang Songyi behind her and refused to allow her to face Liao's insults.
Jiang Shu thought, even if Song Yi didn't care about her personal reputation, how could she, as her aunt, sit back and watch and let Song Yi's reputation be ruined? Liao Shi was like mud, and she must not let Song Yi's eyes be polluted.
Jiang Songyi felt extremely relieved when she saw Jiang Shu punishing Liao.
After all, Liao was her adoptive mother, and if she did it herself, it would inevitably attract criticism.
But Jiang Shu's identity was different. She was the elder and was in the situation of exposing the affair. Liao had no face in front of her.
【It turns out this aunt is also tough. 】
Jiang Shu also felt proud.
Then she slapped Liao hard again.
Since Liao started hooking up with Hao Ren, she has never experienced such suffering.
While trying her best to draw a line between herself and Hao Ren, she knew that asking him for help was hopeless. She could only resort to filial piety to restrain Jiang Songyi. With tears in her eyes, she choked and said, "Songyi, can you really bear to break off all ties with your mother?"
Liao intended to hold on to Jiang Songyi in order to divert everyone's attention, but Jiang Songyi refused to let her plan succeed.
She gently supported Jiang Shu, a look of horror on her face: "Aunt! Blood, Aunt, you lost a lot of blood!"
Everyone's eyes focused as if they had just woken up from a dream, and they saw a shocking deep red bloodstain under Jiang Shu's gorgeous skirt.
The ghost fetus in Jiang Shu's belly had long been removed by Jiang Songyi. The warm current she felt in her abdomen at this moment was almost the same as her monthly menstrual period. If Jiang Songyi hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't even have noticed it.
She quickly came to her senses, covered her stomach with her hands, and screamed heartbreakingly: "Child, my child!"
"Ashu!"
Hao Ren was terrified. He immediately rushed forward, hugged Jiang Shu tightly, and shouted at Cuiying and others standing nearby: "Go and get a doctor! If anything happens to Ah Shu, you will all be buried with her!"
His extremely anxious expression made him look like a model husband who deeply loved his wife.
However, Cuiying, who knew Hao Ren's true face, secretly sneered and thought disdainfully, "My Lord, when Concubine Xia pushed Madam down and Liao angered Madam, I had already sent for a doctor."
Hao Ren's care for Jiang Shu is even less than that of her maid. If she had truly suffered a miscarriage, and hadn't waited until now to call a doctor, Jiang Shu would likely have already passed away. It's clear whether he loves her or not, yet Jiang Shu has been deceived by Hao Ren's sweet talk and false pretenses for so many years.
