This was the first child of the Mu family. Turning around, Madam Mu staggered over, tightly grasped her hand, and asked in a sobbing voice, "Yu'er, although your mother-in-law is mean-spirited and domineering, she has no guts to harm anyone. Tell your mother, have you made enemies?"
Hearing Madam Mu's concern, Shen Yu felt extremely wronged and wished she could tell Madam Mu everything about her contract marriage with Bai Yehua and her grudges and love-hate relationship with Liu Yao'er.
However… Master Mu is still fighting on the battlefield, and Madam Mu is managing the vast family business on her own. If Madam Mu knew that Liu Yao'er and she were irreconcilable enemies, she would surely be worried and fall ill from the accumulated stress.
So she shook her head repeatedly, wiped away her tears, and said in a deep voice, "Mother, please don't believe the rumors. How could Yu'er make enemies? These tonics were sent by Madam Zuo, Liu Xiaoniang's adoptive mother. Madam Zuo probably wanted to get rid of the girl in Liu Xiaoniang's womb, but unexpectedly... my mother-in-law did something bad with good intentions and harmed my sister-in-law's unborn child!"

Liu Xiaoniang had no choice but to step in."
Shen Yu was shocked. "Oh no! We've fallen for their trap!"
Indeed, this was a series of schemes conspired by Liu Yao'er and Zhang Changle: first, to use a feint to harm the Mu family's offspring; second, to lure the tiger away from the mountain and eliminate the female fetus in Liu Yao'er's womb.
Shen Yu finally learned of Liu Yao'er and Zhang Chang Le's scheme, but it was too late. She did not return to Yi Xiang Garden, but instead took Dong Qiao and rushed elsewhere.
