Chapter 325 Never Played the Role of Mr. Chen
Chen Huan stepped over the threshold but did not move forward. Chen Dong stood behind him with a stern face.
Liu Rumei lying on the bed wiped away her tears hesitantly. Seeing that he didn't come over, she struggled to get out of bed and salute Chen Huan.
Qiuyu quickly stepped forward and supported her: "Auntie, what are you doing? You just gave birth, you need to rest well!"
"No, etiquette...cannot be abandoned." Liu Rumei bit her lip and lifted the hem of her skirt, about to kneel down.
"Auntie..." Qiuyu supported her, and tears of heartache fell like beads from a broken string.
Chen Huan frowned slightly and remained silent.
But he took a step forward, reached out to support Liu Rumei, and prevented her from kneeling on the ground.
Liu Rumei was secretly delighted, but her face remained miserable: "I am sorry to trouble you, my lord. It is all my own fault, not yours!"
Qiuyu helped her sit down on a stool nearby, then turned around and knelt down in front of Chen Huan.
She folded her hands, raised them to the level of her eyebrows, and kowtowed three times to Chen Huan before saying:
"Sir, you must not listen to what Auntie says! Auntie is kind-hearted and hopes that our family will be harmonious and free of trouble. But I am not so kind-hearted. I only want to seek justice for Auntie!"
"Sir, you must make the decision for my aunt! My aunt's premature birth this time was not an accident, it was... it was my husband..."
"Diseases come from the mouth, and disasters come from the mouth."
Chen Huan interrupted Qiu Yu, "No matter what the situation is, once you open your mouth, you must be responsible for your words!"
Qiuyu was startled by the tone of his words, but things had come to this point. She gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and continued:
"I will be responsible for my words! Everything I said is true!"
"Sir, it's Madam! It's Madam who wants to harm Auntie!"
After she finished speaking, Chen Huan showed no reaction. He suddenly turned to Chen Dong and said, "Madam Liu has been sitting for so long, she must be tired. Go and bring over that bowl of tonic."
Qiuyu was stunned by his sudden words, and the emotions that had just been brewing were interrupted.
Serve tonics? Why do you suddenly want to serve tonics to my aunt?
Not only Qiuyu, but Liu Rumei was also confused for a moment, but then she thought that the adults might have listened to Qiuyu's words and felt sorry for her!
He suddenly became secretly proud again, and cast a provocative look at Yin Qianxue, who was standing aside and supported by Xia He.
Chen Dong went down, but Yun Yue couldn't hold back any longer.
She shook Baoya's hand, leaned close to Baoya's ear, and whispered, "Baoya, what should we do? It seems that Master Chen has been bewitched by this slick-talking Qiuyu!"
"Do you have any good ideas? I like this Madam Chen very much. We have to help Madam Chen!"
Baoya patted Yunyue's hand calmly and whispered, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister. Master Chen is acting with Qiuyu and the others."
"Ah?" Yun Yue didn't understand. "What kind of play is this?"
Baoya blinked her eyes and said mysteriously: "Just watch."
In just a short while, Chen Dong had already brought back a bowl of tonic.
He walked to the table, placed the bowl of tonic in front of Liu Rumei with both hands, and said very respectfully, "Auntie, please have it."
Chen Dong is Chen Huan's right-hand man. She was so happy to hear Chen Dong's respectful "please use it" that her tail almost went up to the sky.
However, as soon as she picked up the spoon on the edge of the bowl, she froze in place and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Yunyue was puzzled and angry: "What is she doing? Is she going to start pretending again?"
Baoya shook her head: "She is really scared."
Of course Liu Rumei was scared, she was scared to death.
Because the so-called "tonic" placed in front of her was the rock sugar blood swallow that she had just drunk!
Chen Huan already knows everything!
"Madam Liu just gave birth and is weak. This bowl of rock sugar blood swallows was specially prepared for you by me. Drink it quickly."
Chen Huan's voice was calm, without any fluctuation, but every word he said made Liu Rumei tremble with fear.
"Sir, I'm fine. No need to take any more medicine." Liu Rumei's tongue was tied.
"How can that be, Chen Dong? Aunt Liu is weak and can't hold the bowl by herself. Why don't you go and help her?" Chen Huan said coldly.
"Yes!" Chen Dong responded and stepped forward, grabbed Liu Rumei's loose hair, and pinched her chin with his other hand, forcing her to open her mouth.
Then, he picked up the porcelain bowl on the table and poured it directly into Liu Rumei's mouth rudely.
"Ugh... Ugh! Cough cough cough!"
Liu Rumei was choked to tears and coughed violently, with blood swallows all over her body, looking very embarrassed.
“Auntie…!”
Qiuyu was completely shocked.
She didn't know what went wrong. Didn't the master come here to support her aunt?
Why, why would Chen Dong treat his aunt like this?!
Moreover, Chen Dong has clearly expressed his loyalty to his aunt!
In the morning, I helped them stop Xia He and the others who were trying to force their way in!
The scene was a bit tragic. Baoya frowned and felt a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, everything went dark before her eyes. Yin Qianxue raised her hand to cover her eyes.
A gentle and pleasant voice said, "Children should not watch these, as they are prone to nightmares."
Next to her, Xia He, who realized what was going on belatedly, quickly covered Yun Yue's eyes.
After finishing the whole bowl of blood swallows, Chen Dong let go with an expressionless face.
Liu Rumei collapsed on the ground, coughing so hard that she almost died.
Chen Huan asked, "Aunt Liu, is the blood swallow delicious?"
"My lord, I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"
Liu Rumei was shaking like a sieve, her hair disheveled, she knelt on the ground and crawled towards Chen Huan.
She said pitifully, "Please, sir, be magnanimous! Give me a chance! I... I just want to stay! I will die if I leave the Chen Mansion! I just want to live!"
Chen Huan took a deep breath and clenched his fists. "Liu, you should be thankful that you took the abortion medicine in advance and didn't actually add it to the blood swallow. If you had tricked Qianxue into taking it today, I... I would have killed you!"
His veins were bulging from clenching his fists as he managed to utter these words. Liu Rumei just happened to crawl to his feet, and he kicked her away with gritted teeth.
"Master Chen has indeed made considerable progress. It seems that our conversation that night was effective."
Suddenly, a cold but clear voice came from the door, but Baoya was very familiar with the voice.
She gently broke free from Yin Qianxue's hand, turned her head and looked towards the door, and saw a handsome young man in a crescent-colored gown, with cold eyebrows and eyes, standing at the door with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Xiaojing!"
Baoya called him happily.
Jingzhen nodded at her, a smile on his lips, then turned to Chen Huan with a cold and distant expression again.
He said, "Master Chen, I have brought you the witness."
As he finished speaking, a young man in an ochre cloth robe was escorted in, his arms twisted by two servants dressed as page boys.
