After seeing Du Jun's miserable look as he was forced to pay his debts in the study, Danruo went back to her room in a good mood and prepared to go to sleep.
As soon as I arrived at the house, I heard the reincarnation bead reminding me that the emperor had arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Gu Jingxing saw that the candlelight in the room was dim, and a woman could be vaguely seen threading a needle through the window. Later, a person who looked like a maid came forward to persuade her a few words. The woman had no choice but to put down her needle and thread and went to the back to wash and go to bed.
After the room was dark for a while, Lily, who looked like a maid, quietly left the room.
Gu Jingxing reminded himself that it was wrong to visit so late at night and he should not break into a woman's bedroom at night again, but his feet seemed to be out of control. When he came to his senses, he had already quietly pushed open the door.
He glanced at the needlework on the small couch. It was the same men's-style clothes that he had embroidered last time he saw her at the farm.
He looked away with sore eyes and looked at the bed.
The night pearl emitted a soft glow, and Danruo's jade-white face was half buried in the quilt. He often dreamed of this little face buried in his chest every day.
He thought that he paid more attention to Danruo because she was the only woman he could touch, and his behavior in Zhuangzi was also very unlike himself.
Back in the palace full of rules that locked him like a shackle, he still dreamed of her every night.
He really fell in love with his minister's wife, and he had to think carefully about what to do next.
--
The peaceful days in the Du family were soon broken.
"Someone's fallen into the water."
After a few screams, Wang, Danruo and Su Yuniang rushed over after hearing the noise.
On the small lake, Su Yuniang's two children were struggling hard, surrounded by a group of maids and servants.
Su Yu Niang shouted, asking the servants to go and rescue the people, but the servants said they could not swim.
She knew that these servants were resentful because they had not received their monthly salary. She knelt down in front of Dan Ruo and said, "Please, Madam, please save my two children. Please, Madam."
Dan Ruo glanced at the crowd and said, "Anyone who goes into the water to save someone will be rewarded fifty taels for each person they rescue. And anyone who is quick enough can tell the court doctor to come quickly."
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Soon two servants jumped out, and the maids also helped with long poles.
The two children were rescued quickly and the court doctor arrived in time.
I helped the two children squeeze out the water they had choked on and roughly checked their injuries. The elder sister was not seriously injured, but was still in a coma.
The one who was in a really serious condition was his younger brother. When he fell into the lake, his back hit some sharp rocks. His legs were weak now and he would probably be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life.
Upon hearing the sad news, Su Yuniang and Wang cast vicious glances at the trembling Liu Xing.
Liu Xing panicked, "That guy had bad intentions and wanted to push me into the water from behind. I just threw him out of self-protection, but I didn't expect him to hit a rock. I couldn't see any hidden rocks in the water, so I can only say he was unlucky."
Su Yuniang rushed towards Liu Xing. Liu Xing was so scared that she quickly hid behind Danruo, while Baihe stopped the crazy Su Yuniang.
Liu Xing no longer cared about hiding the fact that she was three months pregnant. She had to reveal it to protect herself. Sure enough, she was shocked. After the court doctor took her pulse, he confirmed that she was more than a month pregnant.
Liu Xing looked at Su Yuniang provocatively. The child was her amulet.
The son whom she had carefully cared for for five years was disabled, but that bitch was so proud and arrogant that she showed off her child.
She cried and begged Wang: "Old Madam, you must avenge Lin'er."
How could Wang not feel heartbroken when she saw her dying grandson? Moreover, her son told her that Liu Xing knew about their affair and she wanted to kill her to silence her. Now was a good opportunity.
She shouted angrily, "Stop gag Liu Xing and give her fifty lashes."
Liu Xing's face was filled with disbelief as she screamed, "I'm pregnant with the master's child."
Wang Shi looked nonchalant: "You are a lowly concubine who can even kill a child. You are a wicked thing with a black heart. My Du family doesn't want the rotten meat in your belly."
Liu Xing looked at the old woman who kept approaching her. She looked at Dan Ruo as if asking for help, "Madam, save me."
Wang interrupted, "I am the elder of the family. This is about the heir. It is useless for you to ask Madam for the matter I have decided."
Seeing Danruo's embarrassed look, she was about to listen to Wang's words. After fifty strokes of the cane, even if she was lucky enough to survive, how could the child still be there? Without the child, she would have no wealth and glory for the rest of her life.
At this moment, she didn't care about anything else and blurted out:
"The pair of children Su Yuniang brought are the master's children. The master and Su Yuniang said so themselves when they were intimate. The master and his wife have only been married for three years, and these two children are born out of wedlock. You damned old woman, you actually want to kill your own grandson for a child born out of wedlock."
Dan Ruo pretended to be shocked and sad, "What did you say?"
The servants were stunned when they heard the shocking news. Wang Shi rushed forward to cover Liu Xing's mouth and sat astride her. "I told you to stop talking nonsense. I'll smash your mouth."
Danruo asked someone to separate the two people who were fighting, and asked Baihe to invite Du Jun back home.
When Du Jun entered the mansion and learned what had just happened, he felt that he was unlucky.
Dan Ruo first looked at Su Yuniang, then at Du Jun: "Are these two siblings yours and Su Yuniang's children?"
Du Jun wanted to deny it, but Su Yuniang admitted it first.
Du Jun was surprised, but Su Yuniang gave the time, place and other solid evidence in great detail, and he had no way to refute it.
Dan Ruo smiled secretly in her heart. She had just used up 100 merit points and let the Reincarnation Pearl show her an illusion. It was just that the two siblings were kicked out of the Du family because they were not biological children and died soon after. Then her cousin changed his heart and gave birth to a bunch of legitimate and illegitimate sons. She was alone in the backyard and was treated harshly.
Lily's face flushed with anger. "When the master came to the Chen Mansion to ask for marriage, he said he would stay with his wife for the rest of her life. I never thought he had committed adultery before the marriage and even gave birth to two illegitimate children. You are deceiving me."
Dan Ruo pretended to be extremely angry: "In that case, we will divorce."
Du Jun didn't care about his face anymore and said anxiously: "There is no way I can divorce you unless you step over my dead body."
Dan Ruo ignored him and had someone set up pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the spot, wrote a divorce agreement on the spot, and forced him to sign it.
Du Jun found a knife from somewhere and put it to his neck. "If you want a divorce, I'll commit suicide. I wonder if the Censor will impeach Shen. She forced her own husband to death out of jealousy."
Dan Ruo continued to approach him with the divorce papers in hand.
Du Jun became ruthless and stabbed himself in the stomach.
A large amount of donated blood gushed out.
Wang cried loudly, feeling sorry for her son and grandson, and kept cursing Su Yuniang and Liu Xing.
He also did not forget to scold his servants not to spread the news.
The scene was in chaos.
Danruo felt relieved when she saw the fate of this family, but the divorce had not yet been completed, so she needed to find another way. She asked Lily to secretly invite Mr. Shen Si to come.
