Chapter 611 The Opponent is Cruel
Qiao Meiren lowered her voice and asked, "Your sister-in-law's death wasn't simple?"
The young boy suddenly looked up and asked, "How do you know?"
Qiao Meiren laughed and said, "Isn't this all there is to the harem? The child was already eight months old and she still miscarried. There must be something wrong with this."
The young boy's eyes grew colder and colder. He nodded. "That's right, there is indeed a problem. I was at my elder brother's house the day my sister-in-law miscarried. I vaguely felt someone crying at night. Then I got up in a daze to check and saw blood all over the floor."
"The blood flowed like water, making a gushing sound."
Little Mianmian listened and shrank back a little.
The young boy thought he had scared her, so he quickly changed his story: "Then I fainted. When I woke up, I learned that my sister-in-law had a miscarriage, the baby died shortly after birth, and my sister-in-law also passed away not long after."
Du Wanchun and Qiao Meiren looked at each other again.
Although the boy didn't say much, you could feel the horror in what he said just by listening.
The young boy then continued, "After my eldest brother married this new sister-in-law, his appearance changed drastically. He made things difficult for my second brother and me in every way. He was the one who asked Father to let me come to Xuan Yue Kingdom, and he kept it a secret from everyone."
"I think they did this to kill me."
After hearing this, Du Wanchun became even more curious about this new sister-in-law. Who was she? How could she be so powerful and even put her to death?
She took a bottle of pills from her bosom and handed it to him, saying, "This is a special medicine I got from Doctor Xu in the past. I heard it's good for treating injuries and fractures. You can try it."
Little Mianmian looked up and smiled.
She knew that anything given by her mother would be effective.
The palace maid beside her took it from her hands, and Du Wanchun instructed her to feed the boy every day.
The palace maid bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
The young boy, when talking about his new sister-in-law, couldn't help but drift into memories again.
He didn't explain in detail just now because Xiao Mianmian was there.
That night, after seeing the blood, he secretly went to check and found his pregnant sister-in-law being beaten with sticks by a group of people.
Each blow landed on her belly, which was more than a month away from giving birth.
Bright red blood flowed down the steps.
His elder brother and his new sister-in-law embraced each other, watching nonchalantly, and even laughing at his sister-in-law's screams.
He was deeply shocked at that moment, covering his mouth and trembling violently. He wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by his trusted servant.
The servants knocked him unconscious and then took him away.
Otherwise, if he had rushed out that night, he would have died just like his sister-in-law.
When I woke up the next day, my sister-in-law and the child were nowhere to be found.
No one in the household dared to mention it; everyone said that the sister-in-law lost her child because of a miscarriage.
The new sister-in-law became the mistress of the house before her sister-in-law was buried.
He dared not go to his elder brother's residence again. He wanted to tell his father about the matter, but he was stopped by others many times. Later, he was sent to Xuan Yue Kingdom.
Even now, he can still dream about that scene, and he can even hear the sound of blood flowing in his ears.
Seeing that the young boy was nervous and somewhat tired, Du Wanchun did not ask any further questions, and she probably already knew the cause and effect.
After taking the pills given to him by Du Wanchun, the boy was able to move his feet within two days, although he still couldn't walk on the ground, and he could lift his fingers slightly.
Xiao Mianmian was overjoyed. She turned around with a smile, ready to tell Du Wanchun, but was caught red-handed by her father.
Although Zhou Ruiyuan hasn't shown up these past few days, Du Wanchun told him everything about it last night.
Zhou Ruiyuan, holding Xiao Mianmian's hand, asked with a smile, "What's making you so happy?"
Little Mianmian turned around and pointed to the little boy on the bed, saying, "His legs can move now."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked in the direction she pointed and began to scrutinize him.
The thought that this was the person from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom who proposed a marriage alliance with Xiao Mianmian made him somewhat displeased.
Fortunately, the boy was very sensible. He struggled to his feet and gave him a deep bow. He almost fell off the couch, but was caught by a palace maid.
Zhou Ruiyuan withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "That's enough. You're not fully recovered yet, so there's no need for formalities. Just get some rest."
After he finished speaking, he left with Xiao Mianmian, looking as if he was afraid someone would steal the little lamb away.
Little Mianmian was completely unaware.
She followed Zhou Ruiyuan with a smile and asked, "Father, why hasn't Mr. Qingyang returned yet? My eldest and second brothers have been talking about him for days."
Yi'er and Yu'er were with Hai Qingyang every day, so they were really not used to his sudden departure.
Zhou Ruiyuan paused, unable to help but start to worry.
Hai Qingyang and Miss Ren happened to arrive at Qilin Mountain today.
