Xue Qingshang stood in front of the carriage, looking up at the red silk cloth on the mansion door that had not yet been removed. The glaring red was as shocking as her hands that were stained by the blood from her sister's body the night before.
Although Xue Qingshang was in a dishevel and her plain brocade skirt was stained with blood, Liuzi still recognized her as the Princess of Changle County of the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion at a glance.
Liuzi frowned slightly, turned around and whispered to the people inside through the curtain, "Sir, Madam, someone is stopping the car."
Yu Qizhe opened the car curtain and took a look outside.
The moment the car curtain opened, Xue Qingshang looked over. The two people's intertwined hands made her pupils move slightly, as if she was pricked by a needle, and her heart felt even more uncomfortable and painful.
Yu Jiao also looked up, and when she saw that it was Xue Qingshang, she was a little surprised.
In the past, the Princess of Changle County wore gorgeous clothes, a golden hairpin on her head, and had an exquisite bun. But today, she looked particularly dishevelled, with messy hair sticking to her cheeks and bloodstains on the hem of her skirt, which was really inconsistent with her proud style as a princess of the county.
Realizing that Xue Qingshang's eyes were fixed on her and Yu Qizhe's intertwined hands, Yu Jiao moved her fingers slightly, trying to pull her hand out of Yu Qizhe's palm.
After Yu Qizhe noticed this, he held her hand tightly, not allowing her to retreat. At the same time, he looked at Xue Qingshang and said, "My wife and I have to go pay our respects to our father and mother. What can the county lady do for you?"
Xue Qingshang stared at Yu Qizhe absentmindedly for a long time before turning to look at Yu Jiao, "I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for you."
Yu Jiao thought about it, stood up and got out of the car. Yu Qizhe held her hand tightly and did not let go. Yu Jiao said to him, "I want to talk to the county lady." She guessed that Xue Qingshang probably came because of what happened in the palace last night.
Yu Qizhe then let go of her hand and whispered, "What happened in the palace is not your fault. Don't blame yourself." After saying that, he did not lower the curtains. He sat in the carriage, his eyes always following Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao came to stand in front of Xue Qingshang. Xue Qingshang's eyes were full of bloodshot, and her eyes were red and swollen. She stared at Yu Jiao with a sad and hoarse voice when she spoke: "Why don't you want to save my sister? Yu Shu said that you went to the palace last night."
When Xue Qingshang mentioned her elder sister, she burst into tears, almost unable to restrain herself, and said with hatred: "Do you know that my elder sister's child is gone, it was a fully formed male fetus!"
"Liu Yujiao, my elder sister treats you well. She even gave you the wordless imperial edict with the Phoenix Seal. You know how much she is looking forward to the birth of this child!"
"I know you are timid and cowardly. My elder sister has never threatened you. When Zhu Yu was trying to harm you, she even stood up for you. Liu Yujiao, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Yu Jiao couldn't stand the gazes and accusations like this. Her hands and feet felt cold. She seemed to be back outside the operating room door filled with the smell of disinfectant. Her ears were filled with accusations and scolding. A knife with a cold glow came towards her. Her senior brother squeezed in from the crowd and stood in front of her.
Then there was a shocking flow of blood...
It was almost noon. The sun was shining brightly, and it was warm on the body. However, Yu Jiao felt as if she was in a cold morgue. There was no breath, only a stiff and pale face...
Realizing that something was wrong with her, Yu Jiao pinched her palms hard to stop the uncontrollable associations in her mind.
She tried to focus her eyes on Xue Qingshang's face, took a deep breath to relax herself, and responded to Xue Qingshang: "Human beings can do what they can and cannot do what they can't. I feel deeply sorry for Concubine Xue's matter, but I can't do anything. You should know better than me that someone doesn't want this child to be born. Even if I go, I can't change the current result."
