Yandu.
Xie Rongyue has been living in a villa in the suburbs ever since she was brought back.
The scenery here is elegant, standing by the lake. She is usually under strict guard, and when she goes out, she is always accompanied by maids and guards, so she has no chance to go to the clinic.
That day, Wang Hezhan went out on business with her colleagues, and she quickly found an excuse to go out as well.
But as soon as she left Beiyuan, she saw people from the Langya Wang family's ancestral home arrive at the villa, saying that the people from the old house invited her to come over.
Xie Rongyue wasn't stupid; she naturally knew there was no good in it and didn't want to go. But they were very firm and had the nanny drive her into the carriage.
The villa's steward didn't dare to stop them and quickly waved for someone to go find the young master.
The main branch of the Langya Wang clan has five houses, but the family only has six sons.
Wang San was the eldest son of the main branch of the family and was highly regarded. The wife chosen for him by the clan was also a legitimate daughter of the Lanling Yan family, which shows how much importance was placed on him.
He will be in charge of the entire Langya Wang clan in the future. The head of a family, even if he is not cold-blooded and ruthless, must not have ordinary human emotions. It is fine to dote on a woman, but he cannot allow a woman to overstep the interests of the family.
But he brought Xie's illegitimate daughter back with him, and their connection remained unbroken. Clearly, this woman was special to him.
The people of the Langya Wang clan naturally wanted to get rid of her.
"The Xie family's illegitimate daughter is indeed as beautiful as a flower. It would be fine to bring her into the mansion as a concubine. It's a pity that she has made the young master fall in love with her."
The main hall, with its strict rules, was packed with people.
Xie Rongyue knelt on the ground, glanced at the old lady of the Wang family who was sitting in the main seat and speaking, her palms slightly sweaty, but she did not say anything.
Yan Yuan sat on the lower right, looking at Xie Rongyue who was silent with her eyes down, and pursed her lips.
My mother told me that this was decided by my grandfather and uncle. They told the clan to finish her off. Even if Wang San came back, he couldn't save her. She was just waiting to die.
"Someone, bring the things in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Rongyue suddenly felt a wave of nausea and involuntarily clutched her chest.
Previously, she had never dared to show anything unusual in front of Wang San. Fortunately, the baby in her womb had not caused her any trouble and had been fine all along.
For some reason, she suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't hold it in.
Those inside the hall, witnessing this scene, exchanged glances with each other, each with their own thoughts.
Old Mrs. Wang had seen her share of ups and downs and had lived most of her life. She immediately understood what was going on and gestured to the nanny to go and see.
A discerning old woman noticed her pale face, touched her wrist, and bowed.
She's pregnant.
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at the old lady in the main seat and Wang San's mother with different expressions.
The First Madam had long wanted a grandson, but since the Third Prince didn't have a legitimate son yet, having a son born out of wedlock was inappropriate both emotionally and logically.
Thinking this way, she couldn't help but look at Yan Yuan, who was drinking tea, with a cold expression.
Yan Yuan felt embarrassed by her mother-in-law's gaze and lowered her head.
She does want to have a child, but has she conceived one alone?
"Go and make her a bowl of soup."
A cold, ruthless voice echoed in the hall.
Xie Rongyue lowered her eyes, her slender fingers gripping the hem of her skirt spread on the ground, remaining obedient and silent.
A maid went downstairs to instruct people to prepare the medicine.
The Third Madam recalled the incident a couple of days ago when her son was entangled with Yan Yuan in Chunlan. She glanced at the First Madam and chuckled softly.
"Sister-in-law, please make sure Sanlang and Ayuan are together and have the baby soon. It will put your mind at ease."
Hearing her meaningful words, and glancing at Xie Rongyue kneeling on the ground, the First Madam felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow it.
She said coldly, "Liu Lang has been in the southwest for five or six years. He's finally come back. Just take good care of him and don't worry about anything else."
Yan Yuan listened to their conversation, her eyelids twitched slightly, and she took a sip of tea from her teacup.
Liu Lang is Wang Yizhi, who served in the Southwest for many years. He was stubborn and refused to come back no matter how much his family called him. He stayed in that godforsaken place in the Southwest for six years.
This time I came back but haven't left yet; I've been staying for several months now.
The old lady said, "Sixth Brother has come of age and it's time for him to get married. You should help him find a wife."
"yes."
"Madam, the medicine has arrived."
Just then, the old woman outside brought in the medicine.
"Take it to her."
Xie Rongyue silently accepted the medicine without any resistance.
Everyone had all sorts of thoughts about her.
The First Madam frowned, and seeing that she was about to drink, she stopped her and looked at the Old Madam.
"Now that you're pregnant, shouldn't you tell your father first?"
"Sanlang has a son born out of wedlock before having a legitimate son. If word gets out, wouldn't that be a laughing stock? How could the Yan family tolerate that?"
The First Madam was taken aback by these words, and her face darkened.
The Xie family of Chenjun is a top-tier aristocratic family. If Xie Rongyue were a concubine's daughter of the Xie family, it would be fine, and she would support her son's marriage. But unfortunately, she doesn't know which branch of the family she is from, and her status is really low.
Thinking of the child in her womb, the First Madam felt even more distressed.
Their eldest son was Sanlang, while the other sons of the other wives all had children of their own and were enjoying their grandchildren. But she, the eldest wife, had never even seen a glimpse of her grandson.
"Drink it."
The old lady's voice rang out, and Xie Rongyue, with a calm expression, drank the medicine bowl in one gulp.
With a thud, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground.
Her face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach in pain.
A throbbing pain surged through her body in waves. She bit her lower lip hard, feeling the wet, bright red liquid between her legs, and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
Light streamed in from outside the door, illuminating her and making her face appear even paler and bloodless.
The ladies inside the room, seeing her disheveled appearance, lowered their heads, drank tea and ate snacks, and remained silent.
The silence inside the hall was terrifying.
Xie Rongyue felt as if she was about to lose consciousness, her hair disheveled and her eyes red.
She clutched her stomach, propped herself up, and looked at the blood beneath her. Her pupils glistened with tears, which streamed down her cheeks unrestrainedly.
At this moment, the old lady put down her teacup and gave the nanny a nod.
Several nannies immediately understood and went to Xie Rongyue, who had collapsed on the ground, and dragged her up.
Suddenly, with a bang, the door was pushed open, and a person carrying a chilly wind strode in.
Everyone quickly looked up and saw Wang San dressed in black.
What are you doing?
Wang Hezhan looked at Xie Rongyue, who was being dragged up, with a cold expression.
The two maids were startled and immediately looked towards the old lady.
"Saburo."
Wang Hezhan ignored her and walked straight in. He took the person from the old woman's hands, glanced down and saw a pool of blood on the ground. His eyes narrowed, and his gaze followed the hem of her skirt. The shocking sight of blood made his heart sink instantly.
He immediately looked up at the face of the person in his arms. Seeing that her eyes were filled with tears and her face was terribly pale, a surge of murderous intent suddenly roared in his heart.
