"My mother is very worried. What should I say if she asks me about it?" Liu Yaoyu asked.
Seeing cold sweat on Liu Yaozhen's forehead, Yu Jiao twisted a handkerchief and replied, "Just say you don't know anything."
Liu Yaoyu had no choice but to carry Lingbao to Madam Liu’s courtyard first.
Liu Yaozhen was still sleeping. Yu Jiao got up and opened the window, dispelling the dullness in the room.
She stared at the crabapple tree outside the window for a long time, and suddenly recalled herself in her previous life when she witnessed the departure of her senior brother. At that time, she was so devastated that her whole body was broken into pieces. There are many human sufferings in this world, but others are always unable to empathize with them, which makes people feel powerless.
After an incense stick of time, Liu Yaozhen slowly woke up. Yu Jiao turned around and walked to the bedside, removed the golden needles from the acupuncture points, poured a cup of hot tea for Liu Yaozhen and brought it to her lips.
"Sister, we must always look forward. You have to let yourself go." Yu Jiao said gently. If you don't let yourself go, you will only let yourself rot in the cage that you can't escape.
Liu Yaozhen shed a tear before taking the hot tea handed to her and taking two sips.
After drinking a whole cup of tea, Liu Yaozhen said with a bitter voice: "I can't accept that he is such a despicable person..."
Yu Jiao stroked her shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law may not really be so bad. If you want to know the truth, then investigate further."
Yu Jiao's words seemed to give Liu Yaozhen courage. She looked up at Yu Jiao and said, "I met the Third Prince in Cui's mansion. He told me in person that my husband had been submissive to him... He also said a lot of dirty words to insult Mu Bai. Those words didn't seem fake."
"After the third prince was deposed, wasn't he imprisoned in the palace? How did my sister meet him in Cui's house?" Yu Jiao hated Zhu Yu more and more. Even after Cui Mubai's death, he still brought this matter up to the table and deliberately disgusted others.
Liu Yaozhen said, "I heard that the emperor has pardoned the second prince. He was originally deposed because of the situation. Now that the emperor is going to stay in Xianyang for a while, he has lifted the ban on the second prince and temporarily handed over state affairs to him. I think it won't be long before he will be reinstated as the crown prince."
Yu Qizhe usually did not discuss government affairs at home. Yu Jiao was busy with the clinic these days and did not know much about what was happening in the court. She frowned slightly. Zhu Yu had neither the virtue of a monarch nor the love for the people. He was really not worthy of being the crown prince.
Liu Yaozhen added, "Zhu Yu also went to the courtyard to see Yue Lian and punished her for no reason, almost causing her baby to become unstable."
Yu Jiao pondered for a moment and guessed, "Jealous."
Liu Yaozhen looked at Yu Jiao blankly. Yu Jiao said, "As soon as he was released from confinement, he went to Cui's house. I think he values his brother-in-law. First, he made trouble for the eldest brother-in-law to bring a concubine into the house for no reason, and then he deliberately said those crazy things in front of you, eldest sister. He must be jealous of you, because you and Yue Lian are both cherished by your eldest brother-in-law on the surface."
Liu Yaozhen suddenly understood many things, as if she had suddenly been enlightened. She had been puzzled at first, but now she could figure out the reasons.
The child in Yue Lian's belly was not Cui Mubai's at all. Liu Yaozhen also firmly believed that it was impossible for Cui Mubai to fall in love with a brothel girl in just a few months, and to love her so deeply that he had to divorce his wife and marry her.
Even though he knew that his wife would die soon after falling seriously ill, Cui Mubai deliberately divorced her so that she would forget him and find another lover. However, he did not cause such an embarrassing situation with the Liu family and was unwilling to acknowledge the child in her belly.
The difficulty behind this is probably because of Zhu Xun!
Liu Yaozhen tightly grasped Yu Jiao's hand, her palms sweating, "Third sister, do you think the Second Prince has been forcing him? Your brother-in-law was afraid that after his death, the Second Prince would harm me and the baby in my belly, so he deliberately forced me away?"
