He looked like he was repentant, but suddenly his face turned red with anger!
Yun Qianmeng patted Old Lady Gu's hand, comforting her. Then, she turned and glared coldly at Su Qing below, saying with a smile, "Madam Su is so arrogant! Even Father treated Grandmother with courtesy. How can a concubine like you be so arrogant? You're actually being disrespectful and rude! Are you relying on the fact that you gave birth to a son yesterday? I wonder if Madam Su has ever seen the child. Otherwise, why are you so calm and composed?"
Su Qing raised her head abruptly when she heard Yun Qianmeng say this, and her eyes couldn't help but reflexively shoot out a vicious look. However, after seeing the sneer on Yun Qianmeng's lips, Su Qing immediately calmed down and said lightly, "Why do you say that, Miss? It is my blessing to be able to give birth to a child for the Prime Minister. The child is blessed by the Prime Minister, and I believe it will definitely be a healthy boy!"
But just as she finished her words, the old lady above her pointed at her in a rage and cursed, "Mrs. Su, you raised a good daughter, but not only did you ruin my grandson's life, but you, as a mistress, are still speaking so shamelessly here? Are you trying to bring shame to our Yun family?"
Even if Su Qing appeared calm, she couldn't help but feel anxious after hearing people mention her son over and over again. She was afraid that the child really had some hidden illness. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Yun Xuanzhi and begged, "Prime Minister, I gave birth to that child after ten months of pregnancy. Please let me see him!"
Yun Xuanzhi didn't want to let anyone take the child out in public. After all, he didn't want to show off a disabled child who he didn't know if he could grow up. He was about to refuse when he heard the old lady say, "Bring the child up!"
Hearing this, Yun Xuanzhi's expression suddenly darkened, and he shot a glint of anger at the old lady. However, the wet nurse had already come up with the child, and it was too late for him to stop her. He could only watch as Su Qing snatched the child from the wet nurse's arms, hugged him tightly, and then unwrapped the child to examine him...
"This..." Looking at the child's immobilized shoulder, Su Qing's mind went blank. Unable to react for a moment, she stared blankly at Yun Xuanzhi, her eyes dull. The old lady's sneer echoed in her ears. "This is your good daughter's doing. She tore the child's left arm off! Aunt Su, you're so cruel yourself, and you've even taught my granddaughter this. How will she get married in the future? What young master would be willing to marry a woman like this?"
When the old lady said this, she glanced at Chu Feiyang secretly. Seeing that he did not look unhappy, she was immediately relieved. However, there was a hint of pride in her eyes when she looked at Su Qing!
After Su Qing heard the old lady's words, her sinister eyes shot towards her, then she narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Old lady, you have never liked me. I really can't believe what you said! My Xue'er has always been kind, she would never do such a thing!"
"Alas, it doesn't matter whether my sister did it or not. What matters is that my brother's arm is broken! Aunt, it's really heartbreaking to see the child you gave birth to with great effort become like this!" Yun Yiyi walked in from the backyard at this time, speaking with a look of gloating in her mouth!
Then Yun Yiyi walked up to Chu Feiyang and bowed, but Chu Feiyang didn't even look at her, which made Yun Yiyi embarrassed. She retreated behind the old lady in embarrassment!
At this time, Su Qing's face had already turned pale. Looking at the petite body of her son in her arms, she could only feel his extremely weak breathing. Su Qing's heart was suddenly torn. This was her son, and he was actually harmed like this by these demons. Su Qing stood up immediately, holding the child tightly in one hand, pointing at Yun Qianmeng and others with the other hand, and yelled, "It's you, it's you who brought Nanny Xia back. You made me uneasy, caused me a difficult delivery, and harmed my son like this. Yun Qianmeng, you bitch, you..."
But before she could finish her words, she fell straight to her knees again as if someone had kicked her in the back. The sharp pain in her knee made Su Qing realize that she had said something wrong. However, the words had already been spoken and everyone heard them clearly. Even if Su Qing regretted it to death, she couldn't take them back!
"Are you uneasy? Aunt Su, why are you afraid of Madam Xia? Is it because Madam Xia witnessed you drowning my own brother, and you're afraid she'll expose your evil deeds, and so you've lost your appetite and sleep since learning she's re-entered the Prime Minister's residence? If you had nothing to hide, why would you be so afraid? At this point, what excuses do you have? All of this is your own fault!"
Yun Qianmeng would not let go of Su Qing's big mistake, and asked back without saying anything. Chu Feiyang looked at Yun Qianmeng, only to see that her eyes were slightly red at this time, and her words were sharp, as if she was stabbing Su Qing with a sword. It can be seen that Yun Qianmeng must be really angry at this time, otherwise, with her usual calmness, she would never let people notice her emotional fluctuations!
"What are you talking about, Miss Yun? Nanny Xia was the one who was reported missing back then. After so many years, everyone would think that she was no longer alive. Now she is suddenly taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Miss Yun. Not to mention that my pregnant sister will be frightened, even ordinary people who know about this will be frightened! Miss Yun's words seem to be deliberately inducing others to think wildly and convict my sister at random!" At this time, Su Yuan's voice came from the door, and then everyone saw Su Yuan, dressed in official clothes, stepping into the reception room with a dusty appearance!
Yun Qianmeng saw Su Yuan rushing into the reception room with a ferocious look on his face, and she smiled. After laughing, she said coldly, "Lord Su really has a deep brotherly love. As soon as Aunt Su made a mistake, Lord Su rushed to save the situation! But this time, it involves human life. I wonder if Lord Su intends to bend the law for personal gain or to handle it impartially?"
Su Yuan was no pushover either. Seeing Yun Qianmeng's eyes full of sneers, he immediately brought out the authority he usually used when interrogating prisoners, and said aggressively, "Madam Su is my biological sister. Don't I even have the right to show concern and ask about her? If I don't have this right, then neither do the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion nor the Prime Minister Chu's Mansion. But today, the old lady and Prime Minister Chu are both sitting here. Miss, you are being too partial to one and the other, aren't you afraid that if it gets out, people will say you are bullying the concubines in the mansion?"
Yun Qianmeng knew that Su Yuan was not a weak character, and she had witnessed how powerful he was today. However, if he thought that this would make her surrender, he was completely wrong!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng's calm expression, neither angry nor angry, he spoke in a clear voice, "Master Su's words are truly groundless. Qianmeng didn't say that she didn't welcome Master Su, yet she caused Master Su to complain like this. Could it be that Master Su is afraid that his sister's shameful deeds will be exposed in public, so he is angry and embarrassed?"
"You..." Su Yuan's eyes flashed fiercely after being pestered by Yun Qianmeng. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yun Xuanzhi's displeased voice, "Since you're here, sit down! Guard Liu, bring Nanny Wang and Xue'er up!"
Yun Xuanzhi originally wanted to deal with the matter quietly, but each of the people present here was of great importance, and they all rushed over one after another without giving him any time to deal with it!
Since the matter needed to be dealt with and explained to everyone, Yun Xuanzhi simply asked Guard Liu to bring everyone up, so that these people would not think that his Yun Xiang Mansion was a place where people could come and go freely!
Thinking of this, Yun Xuanzhi glanced at Su Yuan coldly, feeling somewhat angry. Su Yuan's official position was one level lower than his, but since he climbed up the big tree of King Chen, his official power was even greater than his own. Now he even broke into Prime Minister Yun's residence. It seemed that he really took himself too seriously. Even if he wanted to favor Su Qing, with such a brother around, Yun Xuanzhi's pity for Su Qing slowly faded away with the passage of time!
After a while, Nanny Wang, whose clothes were torn, was dragged into the reception room by two guards, and Yun Ruoxue, who was pale and looked dull, was also supported by two maids and walked in!
"Madam Wang, do you admit your guilt?" Yun Xuanzhi asked first without waiting for anyone to ask!
His affirmative question made Su Qing's face freeze. She looked at Yun Xuanzhi in disbelief, then cried, "Prime Minister, you are so cruel. You tortured Wang Ma into confessing like this. Aren't you afraid of making a wrong judgment? Until now, I don't know what happened. I only know that my child's arm was torn off. If you don't feel sorry for your own child, why did you attack the people around me? Aren't you afraid of chilling my heart?"
Everyone was filled with disgust when they saw Su Qing's resistance. Only Yun Ruoxue, upon hearing the words 'his arm was torn off', screamed madly and backed away from Su Qing and the child, shouting frantically, "I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to... I just wanted him to get out sooner... Who knew his arm would be broken... Ah..."
The only sound in the entire reception room was Yun Ruoxue's screams...
When Su Qing heard these words from her daughter, she collapsed to the ground. Nanny Wang was startled and quickly took the child from Su Qing's hands and handed it to the wet nurse. She helped Su Qing up and cried, "Auntie, Auntie, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."
Su Yuan immediately handed over a cup of tea and asked Nanny Wang to feed Su Qing a sip!
Su Qing had just turned around when he suddenly jumped up from the ground with strength he didn't know where he got it from. He rushed to Yun Ruoxue, grabbed her arm with one hand, raised his palm and slapped her face more than ten times, then cursed, "Go to hell! How could you hurt your own brother! He's just a child! How could you do that to your own brother? Why did I give birth to a beast like you!"
Yun Ruoxue was awakened by the beating. She knelt down in front of Su Qing and cried bitterly, "Mom, it's not my fault. I really didn't mean it! I was kind-hearted. I didn't mean to harm my brother. Mom, please believe me, ah, please believe me..."
By the end of her speech, Yun Ruoxue was already sobbing uncontrollably. However, Su Qing's gaze was too terrifying, as if two sharp knives were cutting into Yun Ruoxue's flesh, causing her to feel a surge of fear in her heart...
"Okay, have you had enough of the trouble?" Yun Xuanzhi felt that he had lost all face today. Knowing that he could not let Su Qing see Yun Ruoxue again, he asked Guard Liu to take Yun Ruoxue back immediately, and then asked two maids to force Su Qing to kneel down in the hall again!
"Madame Wang, repeat what you said last night in front of everyone, word for word!" Yun Xuanzhi was no longer bothered to look at Su Qing, and impatiently asked Madame Wang to speak!
After hearing what he said, Su Qing suddenly came back to his senses. He knew that there were more important things waiting for him to solve at this moment. Seeing Wang Ma looking at him with a sad face, Su Qing's heart was lifted up!
Nanny Wang kowtowed three times respectfully to Su Qing, then knelt upright and spoke slowly, "Prime Minister, when the Madam gave birth, she did give birth to twins, a boy and a girl! However, my concubine was also pregnant at the time, so she did not enter the delivery room. All matters were handled by the midwife and others under the command of this servant! Even the drowning of the young master was unknown to my concubine, as I was the only one who handled it. Please do not believe Nanny Xia's words and doubt my concubine! Nanny Xia was the late Madam's wet nurse, so she naturally favors Madam and is picking up words that are unfavorable to my concubine. Please understand! Today, the old lady and Prime Minister Chu are here to testify that everything I said is true, without a single falsehood! Please understand!"
After she finished speaking, Nanny Wang looked towards the red pillar outside the reception hall. Chu Feiyang immediately became alert, but he didn't expect that it was just Nanny Wang's trick. When everyone thought she wanted to hit the pillar to make her resolve known, she actually bit her tongue to commit suicide. She did not close her eyes before she died. Blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she fell directly beside Su Qing!
Su Qing's body shook involuntarily, watching her wet nurse bite her tongue to save herself. Endless anger suddenly ignited in her heart, and she immediately ran towards Yun Qianmeng, "Bitch, it was you who brought Nanny Xia into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Return my son and Nanny Wang's life, you little bitch..."
Until this moment, Su Qing's heart and mind were filled with rage, and all he wanted to do was kill Yun Qianmeng...
Chu Feiyang, who had been prepared, had already dodged and stood in front of Yun Qianmeng, while Xi Lin, who was guarding outside, quickly walked behind Su Qing and made Su Qing faint with a knife!
"The Su family's education is really good. A concubine actually dares to yell at the future princess. She has no idea of hierarchy. Even if Lord Su has found a new master now, I'm afraid he will still be criticized by everyone!" Chu Feiyang's eyes were cold and his face was stern, which made Su Yuan, who was about to get angry, swallow his words immediately. He just sat in his seat with a gloomy face!
"It's such a misfortune for our family that such a vicious thing came in!" At this time, the old lady looked at Old Lady Gu, who had an equally serious expression, and pointed at Su Qing lying on the ground and cursed!
Yun Xuanzhi replied impatiently, "Since mother can raise a child, then Aunt Su's child will be entrusted to mother!"
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately declined, "How can this be possible? The child's concubine is still alive, how can it be my turn to discipline him? Besides, there are so many concubines in the mansion who don't have children, they can just give him to them to raise!"
Yun Qianmeng thought that the old lady had seen enough of the hustle and bustle these past few days, and had shown enough of her power. She wanted to be a hands-off boss now. Seeing that Su Yuan had also been showing off his authority just now, she said lightly, "Grandmother has taught my two cousins and one cousin so well. I believe that under Grandmother's guidance, my brother will definitely become a talented person!"
"But, the child looks alive..." The old lady wanted to say that he would not live long, but when she saw Yun Xuanzhi's gloomy face, she swallowed her words!
Su Yuan saw that the old lady of the Yun family was not a good person, so he said, "If Prime Minister Yun feels that there is no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion who can take care of the child, I will take Xue'er and the child back to the Su Mansion! Although the Su Mansion is not as magnificent as the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is still more than enough to raise two children!"
After hearing Su Yuan's words, Yun Xuanzhi snorted coldly and said, "This is my Yun family's child. When did I need someone else to raise him? If you have nothing else to do, please leave!"
After saying this, Yun Xuanzhi ordered Guard Liu to drag Nanny Wang's body away, and had several maids carry Su Qing into the backyard. He then addressed Old Madam Gu, "Old Madam, the truth has been revealed. The murderer who killed Ruoli and the child has committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Please don't pursue this matter any further, lest Ruoli not rest in peace in the underworld!"
But the old lady was not one to be trifled with. Seeing that Yun Xuanzhi had punished Su Qing today but had only found a scapegoat, the old lady Gu said with a very unpleasant expression, "Is that so? Then how does Prime Minister Yun plan to deal with Concubine Su? Nanny Wang had the guts to harm the mistress. Doesn't Concubine Su have any responsibility? I'm afraid you also have a responsibility that cannot be shirked!"
Yun Xuanzhi frowned upon hearing this. After a moment, he made up his mind and said, "Don't worry, old lady. I will definitely give Ruoli an explanation!"
After saying that, he turned and left the reception room!
The old lady and others witnessed a farce today, and they were in a very heavy mood. Whenever they thought of their daughter and the grandson they had never met, the old lady seemed to have aged by ten years in an instant!
Looking at the gloomy Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady got on the carriage with the help of Ji Shuyu. Before getting on the carriage, Ji Shuyu pulled Yun Qianmeng over and said softly, "Meng'er, don't blame the old lady for some things. She also has difficult decisions!"
After saying this, Ji Shuyu got into the carriage, leaving Yun Qianmeng to savor these words carefully!
But he felt a warmth on his shoulders. When he came to his senses, he saw Chu Feiyang putting a plain brocade cloak on him, and he was holding a horse whip in his hand, as if he was about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion!
"Let's go back, it's windy outside!" Looking at the sun that was approaching noon, Chu Feiyang pulled his warhorse over, then jumped on its back and galloped towards the direction of the palace...
Fenghe Garden at this time was no longer the same as before. In just one day, the maids and servants of Fenghe Garden were sent elsewhere, leaving only Liu the guard's men to guard it!
At this time, Yun Xuanzhi was holding a bowl of rice porridge and slowly walked into the inner room!
Su Qing on the bed had already woken up, but she ignored Yun Xuanzhi's arrival!
"You've been tired for so long and you're hungry. Have some porridge to fill your stomach!" Yun Xuanzhi sat on the edge of the bed and personally scooped a spoonful of fragrant white rice porridge and brought it to Su Qing's mouth!
"Wasn't Nanny Wang's death enough? Now, you won't let me go either?" Su Qing suddenly spoke...
