Hu Mingmei chuckled lightly, seemingly laughing at Huang Wenbai's overestimation of his abilities. "How could I do such a thing? Grandpa, not only will I not kill you, I will also take care of you, pray to the gods and Buddhas to bless you with a long life, and watch your descendants die one by one in front of you."
"What do you want to do?" Huang Wenbai suddenly realized the unusual nature of Hu Mingmei's words. He didn't have many descendants left. If he did, it was only Huang Yi'an, who had been adopted out.
"You want to lay a hand on Yi'an? No, you can't. Yi'an is already a member of the Zheng family. What you're doing is illegal."
But Hu Mingmei ignored him. "Take them away and take good care of them. Make sure they are in good health."
Lu Ying responded in a deep voice.
Hu Mingmei then went outside.
The secret room was not closed. Those who knew about this incident tonight were silently cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground. According to Hu Mingmei's confession: Tao Hong, dissatisfied with Aunt Sun for a long time, secretly gave Aunt Sun a potent drug, which caused Aunt Sun to miscarry and die. Master Huang Haichuan, because his beloved concubine and child died at the same time, was so heartbroken that he also followed Aunt Sun in death.
Tomorrow, the entire Hu family will be holding a funeral for Huang Haichuan. As a result, Lu Ying and the others will have a lot to do. Not only will they have to arrange the funeral for Huang Haichuan, but they will also have to keep the servants quiet, especially the people from Mingyue Pavilion.
After Hu Mingmei came out of the secret room and returned to the courtyard, she did not go into her room. Instead, she went to a side room to wash off the bloodstains and changed into clean clothes before returning to her room.
Grandma, Bai Yujiang, Qiao'er, and the others were all watching over Bai Nuo. As soon as Hu Mingmei returned, they noticed and all signaled to Hu Mingmei not to make a sound so as not to wake Bai Nuo.
In this way, Hu Mingmei knew that Bai Nuo was already asleep, so he immediately slowed down and walked towards the bedside.
Bai Nuo's face was still very pale, but her sleeping expression was peaceful, which made Hu Mingmei's tense heart relax a little. However, Hu Mingmei's gaze then fell on Bai Nuo's right hand, where an ugly centipede was twisted, adding an unsightly flaw to Bai Nuo's fair arm.
Looking at Bai Nuo's hand, Hu Mingmei felt heartache again. He knew that Huang Haichuan's knife had pierced through Bai Nuo's hand, leaving a wound not only on the back of the hand but also on the inside.
Looking at Bai Nuo, Hu Mingmei felt that he had already let Huang Haichuan off easy by only stabbing him once.
"Now that you're back, take good care of Nuonuo. I'm going back now!" the old woman said to Hu Mingmei.
Hu Mingmei nodded. He noticed that the old woman looked extremely tired; if he hadn't been waiting, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer. "Please go back and rest well. I'll take care of everything here!"
Then Hu Mingmei told the old woman that Huang Haichuan was dead. When the old woman heard that Huang Haichuan was dead, she was very surprised at first, but she immediately realized that Hu Mingmei was the one who did it, so her expression quickly returned to normal.
Although she felt that Hu Mingmei's actions were somewhat inappropriate, the old woman was very pleased. At least Hu Mingmei had shown how much he loved Bai Nuo, and that no one could even harm a single hair on Bai Nuo's head.
As an elder, she felt completely at ease entrusting her granddaughter to such a person.
After the old woman left, Hu Mingmei went to bed. Seeing that Bai Nuo was asleep, Hu Mingmei's hand couldn't help but cover Bai Nuo's eyebrows and eyes. Then, he stretched out his arm and carefully hugged Bai Nuo into his arms, gently rubbing against her.
It wasn't that he didn't want to stay with Bai Nuo during her treatment or that he wanted to cause trouble for Huang Haichuan; it was that he simply didn't dare to look at Bai Nuo's hands.
It was so painful.
But who knew that as soon as Hu Mingmei held Bai Nuo in his arms, Bai Nuo woke up and cried out in pain. Hu Mingmei looked at her anxiously and asked, "Does it hurt a lot? I'll go and call Doctor Sun over."
"No need to go!" Bai Nuo quickly grabbed Hu Mingmei with her other hand. "It's like this, it'll be fine in a few days!" Calling Doctor Sun over wouldn't make any difference. She was pregnant, and even if Doctor Sun offered her painkillers, Bai Nuo refused to use them. All medicines have side effects, and she didn't want her child to be in any danger.
Hu Mingmei lay down again, her body tense as she carefully held Bai Nuo, saying, "You've suffered."
"How is Huang Haichuan?" Bai Nuo couldn't help but ask.
She vaguely remembered hearing him tell the old woman that Huang Haichuan was dead.
"He's dead!" Hu Mingmei said calmly, recounting the whole story.
"So, you're saying that Huang Haichuan brought up Cheng Wang's matter just to find an excuse to come in and then make a move against you and me?" Bai Nuo grasped the key point.
Hu Mingmei nodded.
“But…” Bai Nuo turned to look at him, “What if Prince Cheng really intends to do that? You need to be careful!”
Hu Mingmei spoke softly, "It's alright. I've always been careful. Even without Huang Haichuan, I would still be wary of Prince Cheng!" Although Prince Cheng and he appeared to be on very friendly terms, everyone knew that Prince Cheng had been coveting their family for a long time, and they were already irreconcilable enemies. How could Hu Mingmei not be wary of him?
"From now on, you don't need to worry about anything. Just focus on giving birth to the baby. As for everything else, I'll take care of it!" Hu Mingmei said again. Bai Nuo noticed that Hu Mingmei's voice was trembling. She suddenly realized that Hu Mingmei was really scared, so she obediently said "Mmm".
