Worst option
Tan Moxiang did not answer, but turned to look at the person who was walking slowly towards him.
A gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves. Zhao Mingyan looked in the direction of the sound, her almond-shaped eyes slightly widening. "Madam Yin?"
Isn’t Nanny Yin my grandmother’s person?
After Tan Linshuang told her all the secrets, she also informed her about the situations of the maids in the mansion, especially Nanny Yin, and emphasized one thing - she was a maid who came with my grandmother as a dowry, and the relationship between the two was like yours and Xiaozhu, seemingly master and servant, but comparable to sisters.
The implication is that Nanny Yin should not be underestimated.
But now, how could she change her ways?
As if sensing suspicion from her flickering eyes, Tan Moxiang smiled, then straightened her face and said, "Madam Yin has never been married, but many years ago she had a brief affair with a distant nephew of my father. With his departure, their relationship ended, but not long after, Madam Yin discovered that she was pregnant."
"Family disgrace should not be made public, so the old lady arranged for her to go to another manor to give birth. When the child is older, she will bring him back to the mansion to serve by her side, so that the mother and daughter don't have to be separated."
"It was precisely because of Nanny Yin's relationship that the child was doted on by the old lady. Although she was a maid, she had never served anyone else. The old lady had originally planned to help her find a good family after she reached the age of marriage, but unexpectedly, she had already been deflowered by Tan Mozhu and contracted syphilis."
Zhao Mingyan was shocked, "Hua Liu disease?"
"Is it... Ah Zhu?"
Looking at Nanny Yin who was getting closer and closer, she seemed to see the shadow of Ah Zhu on her face.
When she reached the two of them, she first bowed to Zhao Mingyan, then said bluntly: "Now, only the young mistress can send that man to prison and help the young master complete his revenge plan."
Zhao Mingyan sat up straight and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Follow his wishes and help him make up for his regrets from the past." Nanny Yin said.
There was no light in her eyes, but Zhao Mingyan could see two flames of hatred through her deep pupils.
"The regrets of those years..." As if she was infected, and as if she thought of the humiliation that Tan Linshuang had endured over the years, two flames rose in her eyes.
She gently stroked her bulging belly, a sneer on her lips, "Then let him accept the punishment without regret!"
Squeak——
Nanny Yin knocked open the back door of the South Courtyard, which had been closed for many days. "The old lady asked me to bring ginseng tea to the Second Master."
The gatekeeper nodded to her, then looked past her at the maid holding the tray behind her. His gaze lingered on her slightly bulging belly for a moment, and then he let them in without any suspicion.
"New here? You look a little unfamiliar...but also like I've seen you somewhere before?"
Watching the two of them leave, the man rubbed his chin.
After they walked away, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Nanny Yin glanced at Zhao Mingyan, who was dressed as a maid, and whispered, "I've given him a strong medicine. As soon as he drinks the ginseng tea, he'll have a seizure soon. Madam, just wait for the right moment to scream. Remember to stay away and don't let him really hurt you."
"Yes!" Zhao Mingyan nodded heavily.
Looking at her determined expression, Nanny Yin suddenly thought of Ah Zhu who had been sent to the clinic, and she also made up her mind.
He shouldn't bully my daughter like this!
"Second Master, the old lady asked me to bring you some ginseng tea."
After entering Tan Mozhu's room, Nanny Yin asked Zhao Mingyan to pass the ginseng tea over.
At this time, Tan Mozhu was extremely depressed and relied entirely on drinking to get by. The sour smell of fermented wine in the room almost made Zhao Mingyan vomit.
Fan Wenlan spent most of her family fortune and even broke up with her only grandson just to save his life. This may have been out of a mother's love and responsibility, but she didn't know that although her life was saved, his soul was slowly disappearing in captivity.
Zhao Mingyan felt that the Tan Mozhu in front of him was just a shell and primitive desires. When he saw his bulging belly clearly, his dull eyes suddenly lit up.
"Second Master."
She calmed herself down and presented the ginseng tea with both hands.
Tan Mozhu took the teacup stiffly, his eyes fixed on Zhao Mingyan's lower abdomen. As he drank tea, his eyes gradually brightened.
After making sure that he had finished drinking the drugged ginseng tea, Nanny Yin quietly left and closed the door.
But she didn't go far. She came behind the corner pillar, pressed against the wall and listened nervously to the movements in the room.
"Who are you……"
The moment he put down the teacup, Tan Mozhu finally looked at Zhao Mingyan's drooping face, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Uncle, it's me, Yan'er. I'm here to see you."
Zhao Mingyan raised her plump face, smiling like a flower, like a blooming crabapple.
"How could you..."
Tan Mozhu leaned back in surprise, but his lower body remained uncontrollably fixed in place.
A heat rose from his lower abdomen and he felt dizzy.
Seeing that his eyes were out of focus, Zhao Mingyan knew that the medicine had taken effect.
Immediately, she tore open her clothes and messed up her hair, then gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and rushed towards Tan Mozhu, crying, "Uncle, don't!"
"What's going on?"
The servants rushed over upon hearing the noise, but were stopped by Nanny Yin.
"The old lady has ordered that no matter what happens inside, no one is allowed to get close."
"But... I seemed to hear the young lady's voice." One person frowned.
"ah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Mingyan's scream rang out again, accompanied by the sound of something breaking, which made everyone look at each other in dismay.
Nanny Yin was also a little nervous. She glanced at the two people hiding behind the crowd and once again frowned and shouted at the servant in front of her, "Hurry up and leave!"
The servants looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
"ha!"
Tan Mozhu, who was in the room, sneered after realizing that he had been drugged, "Yan'er, you are so brave."
Looking at Zhao Mingyan who had made a mess of herself, he couldn't help but think of his elder sister-in-law who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She was more courageous than his elder sister-in-law.
It also made him unable to stop.
Why can that father and son get the woman who loves them wholeheartedly?
He looked at Zhao Mingyan with eyes that gradually turned red, as if stained with blood. "Since you've used the honey trap, I'd be happy to die under your skirt today!"
Zhao Mingyan was startled and was thrown to the ground by him, feeling dizzy and dazed.
Without time to call for help, she quickly pressed her lips against his, bent her knees and pushed forward. She heard a muffled groan from his throat, and the force pressing on her was relieved a little.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she pushed him away and ran towards the door, yelling, "Help!"
"Well……"
Tan Mozhu covered his lower abdomen in pain and climbed up, stretching out his other arm to grab her bun.
Feeling his scalp tighten, Zhao Mingyan swung his hand back and slapped Tan Mozhu hard in the face. Then he turned around and kicked him in the lower body, knocking him to the ground.
"I'll give you a kick that will kill your offspring!"
Rubbing the back of his head, which still hurt a little, Zhao Mingyan sneered and said, "Uncle, have you forgotten my nickname in the community?"
After saying that, without waiting for his response, she simply pulled her hair apart, opened the door with her hair loose.
Looking at her seemingly panicked but actually steady steps, Tan Mozhu said hoarsely: "Zhao family female demon."
"Yan'er!"
Tan Moxiang and Qin Yurong, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Zhao Mingyan rushing out of the door in disheveled clothes and hurried to meet him.
"What happened?" Tan Moxiang spoke first, without any pretense on his face.
Qin Yurong, standing by, quickly glanced at the situation inside the door and said angrily, "Do I even need to ask? It must be Tan Mozhu, trying to get his hands on his niece-in-law again!"
There was an uproar in the courtyard.
Only Nanny Yin breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a satisfied smile after revenge.
Bang--
After learning that Tan Mozhu was sent to jail again for rape, Fan Wenlan smashed the teapot and teacup in front of him in front of Tan Linshuang and Tan Moxiang.
Water splashed everywhere, debris flew everywhere, and the whole place was in a mess.
Just like her relationship with these two people at this moment.
"Great, inside and outside cooperation... Great, great..."
Fan Wenlan was still not satisfied. He glanced at Tan Moxiang coldly, then turned his sharp eyes towards Tan Linshuang and laughed angrily, "Hahaha..."
"Lin'er, Lin'er, to make your uncle a prisoner, you actually let your pregnant wife seduce him. What a trick! I underestimated you!"
Tan Linshuang's expression was even colder than her eyes. If her eyes were like ice, then his expression was like a sharp blade that had been roasted by fire and then quickly immersed in ice water, cold and burning.
"Do you want to fight me to the death?" Fan Wenlan suddenly lost some of her momentum. She had flesh and blood on her palms and backs of her hands, and she really couldn't bear to be cruel to the grandson she had raised with her own hands.
"Grandma." Tan Linshuang said solemnly, "I just want the person who killed my parents to receive the punishment they deserve."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Tan Moxiang immediately followed. She wanted to explain something, but Tan Linshuang suddenly raised his right arm and stopped.
"Aunt, you don't need to explain anything. Even if this plan succeeds, I can't forgive you for letting Mingyan take this risk."
Tan Moxiang lowered his head, apologetically but without regret, "As long as my goal is achieved, I am willing even if you hate me."
Tan Linshuang turned away.
Tan Moxiang raised her head and said loudly, "Yan'er is not a flower kept in the yard, she is a tree, growing in the backyard, but her branches and leaves can reach the sky and go over the wall!"
"How could I not know?" Tan Linshuang murmured in response with a faint smile.
Qin Yurong fulfilled the promise she made to Tan Linshuang outside the yamen that day. Not only did she make her father convict Tan Mozhu of rape, she also had him retried for crimes such as murdering his brother and sister-in-law and kidnapping.
This time, several more witnesses came forward to identify Tan Mozhu, including Zhang Kaigui's first wife.
In order to make up for his loss, Tan Linshuang found Zhang Kaigui's first wife in time and asked her to come forward and identify Zhang Kaigui as having killed his parents under the instructions of Tan Mozhu, and it was not an accident caused by drunkenness.
The evidence was a land deed that Zhang Kaigui received before the incident. Zhang Kaigui knew that he would disappear for a long time after the incident, so in order to make up for his wife and daughter, he left the land deed at home. Little did he know that this land deed just confirmed Tan Mozhu's crime of hiring a killer to commit murder.
In addition, Zhang Kaigui's first wife recalled something in the hall: "Second Master has a little-known habit. He is obsessed with pregnant women of good families. When the first lady became pregnant with the young master, he had already developed this idea."
"But at that time, he didn't dare to touch his eldest sister-in-law, so he asked my eldest son to help him find a suitable pregnant woman. However, he only wanted girls from decent families, so even if he spent a lot of money, it was difficult to find one."
"In order to get the pregnant women he liked, he would prey on their husbands or families. Under his coercion and inducement, many pregnant women became his playthings over the years. Fortunately, he lost interest after the women gave birth. Because of the short duration, this matter was never exposed."
Her words left everyone in the room dumbfounded, and further confirmed his crime of raping Zhao Mingyan.
Then, Xu Qiaolian, Azhu, Yanzhi... came to the court one by one to expose Tan Linshuang's crimes and beastly behavior, and finally exiled him for crimes such as murder, kidnapping, rape, and corruption.
Fan Wenlan fainted on the spot.
Ayun, who had recovered long ago but had been pretending to be bedridden, came up behind Tan Linshuang and whispered to him, "Atong escaped, and Ari and Aye went after him."
Tan Linshuang looked at the sun that was about to rise and murmured, "Is this really going to be a fight to the death?"
