"What?" Oh no, oh no, this is going to be a murder to silence the witness!
Xu Yixing hurriedly entered the Sun Mansion through the side door again. Regardless of the servants' obstruction, he killed his way to Sun Ziyou's courtyard. Sure enough, he saw Si Wu covered in blood and had been beaten to death.
"stop!"
Everyone in the courtyard looked at Xu Yixing. Only then did she notice that the one who was keeping the chaos under control was actually the old lady of the Sun family. She was sitting under the corridor, watching the servants carry out the execution. Si Wu's mouth was gagged, and he couldn't make a sound.
"Yi Yan, come and pay your respects to the old ancestor!" Xu Yi Xing, regardless of the severe cold, bowed deeply to Old Lady Sun on the stone ground, then stood up and asked anxiously:
"I was just outside the mansion, about to go home, when I heard something had happened to my sister. I was so anxious that I misbehaved. Please forgive me. I wonder how my sister is doing?"
Old Madam Sun raised her hand, motioning her to look at Si Wu, her voice full of authority: "It just so happens that Second Miss Xu is here too, so take a good look at this good servant your Xu family has raised!"
"Yi Yan doesn't know what happened. Isn't this person the new concubine of Brother-in-law Sun? How can she be said to be a servant of the Xu Mansion..."
Humph, you old thing want to throw dirty water on my family, but there is no way!
"The Second Young Lady has such a clever tongue, but it's a shame a slave is just a slave, not presentable! She actually dared to be jealous of the mistress's pregnancy. While she was serving the abortion-preserving medicine, she poured hot water on the mistress, harming the unborn child. She deserves to be beaten to death!"
Si Wu would pour hot water on the counterfeit? Even if it really happened, it must have been Sun Ziyou who ordered her to do so. But why was Sun Ziyou nowhere to be seen?
"I don't know why Si Wu suddenly became so aggressive. I remember that she used to be my sister's most trusted confidant. How come she has become so vicious after only being in the Sun Mansion for a few days? But, old lady, can I go see my sister first?"
"No need. The court doctor is treating the patient. It's better not to let outsiders in."
Old Lady Sun gently refused. She could tell that every word this girl said was full of thorns. In fact, she just wanted to shirk responsibility before other people in the Xu Mansion got the news. After all, Xu Yixing had an accident in her own mansion.
That old killer Xu just found out and was definitely going to come over to make trouble. Unexpectedly, he had a hard time picking on someone so he pushed the conflict back to his own family.
Madam Sun, Xu Yixing's mother-in-law, saw this and quickly spoke up for her mother-in-law:
"Second Miss, you are too impatient. After all, the injured are my daughter-in-law and children of the Sun Mansion. How can you, a junior like you, be the one to question us here?
To be frank, if your father or brother were asking, it would be fine. Everyone knows that you and Yixing are not from the same mother. This concubine's daughter... Haha, it's just a little unruly.
Xu Yixing rolled her eyes. She had always known that her mother-in-law was a bit confused and easy to fool, but she never expected her to say such things today.
Sure enough, it hit the horse's hoof. Old Mrs. Sun glared at her several times in dissatisfaction, but she still didn't stop.
Just as Xu Yixing was about to explain, someone questioned him from behind:
"Really? Madam Sun's arguments are so convincing, it's clear she really doesn't like illegitimate children. I wonder if she's also prejudiced against illegitimate children in the mansion?"
Mrs. Sun was wondering who would dare to come out to stop her, but when she looked up and saw the person coming, she shuddered with fear.
Old Madam Sun also quickly stood up and bowed to the man: "I pay my respects to His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
Lu Anyuan deliberately listened at the door for a while before coming in. He felt that Madam Sun was too unreliable. How could such a person become the wife of the Duke's Mansion?
"Madam Sun, please rise. How dare this junior accept your greeting? I heard that Madam Sun was expecting, so I came to express my gratitude on behalf of the other ladies in the palace. I wonder what has happened? Why is there such a commotion? And why is Madam Sun talking so much about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children?"
Lu Anyuan walked calmly in front of Xu Yixing and slightly blocked her.
Madam Sun heard this and bit her lip tightly. If you want to talk about illegitimate children, then the one in front of her is one... To put it in a bigger way, all seven princes of the Great Xia Dynasty are illegitimate children. Oh, my broken mouth!
Old Mrs. Sun really disliked this stupid daughter-in-law, but there was nothing she could do. She had no right to explain to her yet.
"Your Highness, my grandson's wife was framed by a concubine and suffered disfigurement. She is currently receiving treatment. My wife was anxious and upset, and spoke without thinking. It was not intentional. Please don't take it to heart, Second Miss."
Oh, huh? This old bastard has come to apologize to him, what else can Xu Yixing say?
"In that case, I will ask the imperial physician to treat the young lady right now. Please don't let anything happen to her!"
Lu Anyuan stared at Old Lady Sun and Madam Sun. They didn't try to stop him, but were grateful. It seemed like they didn't know about the fake pregnancy, otherwise they would have refused.
"No need to trouble the imperial physician." The door to the main room opened, and Sun Ziyou came out with a sad face.
So he was in the room...
He staggered a few steps, then knelt in the courtyard, crying loudly to his mother and grandmother: "Mother, Grandma! I am such an unfilial son, marrying such a vicious person!"
Mrs. Sun hurried forward to support her son. What if he got hurt kneeling on such icy stone slabs?
"Son, how is your wife?"
"Yixing...his face was injured, and his emotions were so fluctuating that the child...is gone!" After she finished speaking, tears rolled down her face, and anyone who saw it would feel unbearable.
Only Xu Yixing looked constipated, and his grandson was worried about him... Killing two birds with one stone, not only did he get rid of Si Wu, the insider, but he also injured the faker's face, so he wouldn't even need to disguise himself anymore, and he also covered up the matter of the child.
Why am I always one step behind you?! Aunt Bai is like this, Si Wu is like this, and the fake pregnancy is like this again! Why?
Xu Yixing clenched his fists and tried hard to restrain himself.
"What?" Madam Sun was also upset. She had thought that her daughter-in-law got pregnant so quickly and that the child must be a blessing. Unexpectedly, the child was gone after just one day. She didn't know what sinister thing had happened to her.
"Hurry up and beat this bitch who murdered the young lady to death!" Madam Sun shouted and was about to beat Si Wu to death. Xu Yixing and Lu Anyuan spoke out to stop her at the same time.
"slow!"
Lu Anyuan walked up to Si Wu and took a look. He was indeed beaten severely. But there was still room for survival, so he said, "This is the Sun family's family affair, and I should not interfere.
But this girl is so bold, I'm afraid she should be sent to Jingzhao Prefecture for a thorough interrogation to see if there is someone behind her. "
Xu Yixing also stepped forward: "Old lady, Si Wu's indenture is still in our family. Why not spare her life now and ask her carefully? Once you have found out, you can kill her. You won't lose anything."
Old Madam Sun hesitated. According to the law, she should be sent to the government for conviction. After all, she was brought by Sun's wife and was considered a concubine. However, this matter was embarrassing, and she didn't want to publicize it. Now she was in a dilemma.
