Chapter 192 A Worthy Death
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang Yunxi followed the maid to Chu Leyi's yard.
"Miss, Miss Jiang is here." The maid entered the room first.
Chu Leyi quickly stood up and ran outside. When she saw Jiang Yunxi, she inexplicably felt safe and felt that she could clear her name. "Miss Jiang, please help me."
Her eyes were red and a little swollen from crying.
"Tell me what happened in detail." Jiang Yunxi said. Although her maid gave her a general idea on the way here, she still wanted to hear the details from the person involved.
"You told me to stay in my own courtyard today, so I went back immediately. I planned not to leave the courtyard unless you came to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"My mother ended up falling into the pond, and I had to go over. The nanny told me she had an argument with Madam Xu. I was so furious I went to confront Madam Xu."
"As a result, she fell, bled a lot, and lost the baby in her belly. I can swear to God that I didn't push her." Chu Leyi explained frankly, but was very angry in her heart.
Yesterday Jiang Yunxi said that she wanted to do something bad recently, but she didn't expect that before she did anything bad, she was plotted against by someone.
Jiang Yunxi looked at her cheek and asked, "Did you get beaten?"
When Chu Leyi heard this, her expression suddenly collapsed and she looked like she was about to cry. She nodded aggrievedly, then turned around and raised her head, trying hard not to let her tears fall.
She didn't want others to see her crying.
"When my father came back and learned what had happened, he thought I had pushed Mrs. Xu in anger, so he slapped me. The baby in her belly was already formed, and the doctors couldn't save it. It was a boy."
Chu Leyi couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke. She always thought her father loved her, but she only realized today that it was nothing more than that.
He would rather believe what Xu Yinyin said than what she said.
At this moment, she hated the other person even more.
"It seems that this disaster is destined for you. Although there is no evidence now, it is obvious that you have been plotted." Jiang Yunxi said seriously. Even if she hadn't checked yet, she could be sure of it.
It's not that she has a mean mind.
It couldn't all be such a coincidence.
First, the wife of the Prime Minister fell into the water, and Chu Leyi had to leave the yard. It was normal for her to go find Xu Yinyin in anger. The other party had calculated all this and was just waiting for her to take the bait.
"Do you believe me?" Chu Leyi turned around and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunxi nodded. When she left the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day, she saw that something would happen to her today, but she didn't know what exactly would happen, so she could only stay in the yard.
In the end, she failed to avoid it, which means that she had to go through this disaster and could not escape it.
Chu Leyi burst into tears, and seeing Jiang Yunxi looking at her, she had to turn around.
Seeing this, the maid hurried over to comfort her.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
She said nothing and let her cry.
A moment later.
Chu Leyi's emotions finally stabilized. She wiped her tears and turned to look at Jiang Yunxi. "The child in Xu's belly died, and now there's no way to prove that the child isn't my father's."
"The child is already that big. Why doesn't she want it? It's simply because she's afraid of causing trouble if she gives birth to it. So the child must die, and it has to die meaningfully." Jiang Yunxi said in a deep voice with a frosty face.
She despised people like this the most, who used their own children to scheme against them.
Even if it is not Prime Minister Chu's child, it is still a living little life.
The point is.
Mrs. Xu didn't let the child disappear, but instead killed it when the child was fully formed and about to be born. What did she want to do?
Suddenly, the image of the courtesan Hua Manlou and the little ghost raised by Yue Liuli, who was also a baby that had been formed for several months, appeared in her mind.
Could it be that she wants to raise a ghost?
Or is there any other use?
"But the child is dead, so there is no evidence. How can I prove that the child is not my father's?" Chu Leyi looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears. She knew that the current situation was not favorable to her.
"Even if the child is dead, it can still be used as evidence." Jiang Yunxi said.
Chu Leyi's eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly: "Can it really be used as evidence?"
Jiang Yunxi said, "Where is the child's body? I want to see it. Take me to find your father."
Chu Leyi nodded, "Okay."
The two men walked out of the yard and headed towards the yard where Xu lived.
"Mother, why are you here instead of lying in bed and resting?" Chu Leyi ran over quickly with red eyes when she saw Feng standing at the gate of Lanyuan.
I hated Xu Yinyin more and more.
"Le Yi, why are you here? Didn't your father keep you confined to the yard?" Feng's face changed. The master was very angry at the moment, and she shouldn't have run out.
She knew she was wronged, but she couldn't act impulsively at this time.
Xu is such a bitch.
Today she plotted against both mother and daughter. She suspected that the baby in her belly had been stillborn for a long time, and she was just waiting to put the blame on them today. How cruel.
"Mother, go back and lie down to rest." Chu Leyi hugged her arms tightly. She had caught a cold from falling into the water and should not go out in the wind.
"Your elder and second brothers are in there. I came to check on them." Feng said with a haggard face. When she heard that Xu fell and bled heavily, she knew that Le Yi had fallen into a trap. How could she lie down and rest?
Sure enough, when the master came back and learned that the baby in Xu's belly was gone, he became furious and beat Le Yi.
At this point, he probably thought that the child was gone because of a conspiracy by the mother and daughter.
Ever since Xu Yinyin came into the mansion, the master's heart has completely turned to her.
"Mother, her name is Jiang Yunxi. She said that the child in Xu's belly is not Daddy's. She originally came to tell Daddy in the evening, but she didn't expect something like this to happen during the day."
"When she left the Prime Minister's Mansion this morning, she told me to be careful today to avoid bad luck, and that it would be best if I stayed in my own yard. But when I heard you fell into the water, how could I stay here..."
Chu Leyi looked like she was about to cry as she spoke.
Feng looked at Jiang Yunxi sharply, "How did you know that the child in Xu's belly wasn't my master's? Also, how did you know that Le Yi would be unlucky today? What do you want to do now?"
"Mother, she came here to expose Xu." Chu Leyi said hurriedly.
"Le Yi, we can't trust others so easily anymore. What if she's in cahoots with Xu? Just think about it, if we go to your father and tell him that the baby in Xu's belly isn't his."
"He will only think that our plan failed and we have come up with other evil schemes to harm the Xu family. He will only hate us even more." Feng said seriously, holding Chu Leyi's hand.
Mrs. Xu is quite capable. What happened today caught her off guard and she was completely unprepared.
She had to be more vigilant.
"Mother, she is the legitimate daughter found by the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. She comes from Qingxu Temple and is good at fortune-telling. She calculated that my father only has seven children, so the child in Xu's belly is not my father's." Chu Leyi explained.
