Chapter 562 Confession
"Forgive? You bastard, you can't even give birth to a child yourself, and you treat my grandson like this?" Madam Zhang yelled and spoke in the direction of Gu Yuan's mother.
Gu Yuanniang seemed not to have imagined that things would turn out this way.
Xu Qingshan immediately went forward to accompany Gu Yuanniang, frowning at Madam Zhang, and said, "It's not clear how this child was born, how can you put all the blame on Liu Niang? Maybe it was Liu Juan who was the cause of the death.
"Mr. Xu, do you mean that I would use my own child's life to wrongly accuse Gu Yuanniang?" Liu Juan said while crying pitifully looking at the other party, looking as if she had suffered great injustice.
Xu Qingshan said nothing and pursed his lips tightly.
"That's your child too." Liu Juan screamed loudly and looked at Xu Qingshan and said, "Now the culprit is right in front of you, but you still want to protect her. Even if you hate me, that child is yours."
Xu Miaomiao stood aside in silence, watching this farce.
Xu Qingshan frowned. Madam Zhang cried even more pitifully. She held the child in her arms and cried non-stop, as if she had to get an explanation from Gu Yuanniang.
"Okay, there is no evidence yet. How can we conclude that Liu Niang did it?"
"Xu Miaomiao, you are from their family, so you are naturally thinking about them."
Liu Juan, who was standing aside, spoke up.
Xu Miaomiao paused for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.
Xu Qingshan looked at the child in his arms and said, "I know Liu Niang better than you do. She would never hurt a child's name because of jealousy over such trivial matters. There must be other hidden reasons behind this matter."
"I will investigate thoroughly and will give you justice when the time comes."
"Why, Madam Xu, are you still going to protect Gu Yuanniang after all this?"
Liu Juan spoke pitifully, and looked at Xu Miaomiao with a bit of dissatisfaction, as if she was really in pain because of losing her child.
Gu Yuan's mother also pursed her lips. She really didn't know if the child really suffocated to death because she covered the quilt on his head. If that was really the case, she would never be able to accept it even if she died.
"I'm not trying to cover up for others, but this matter is really hard to clarify. Besides Liu Niang, has Liu Juan also seen this child? If she has seen this child, doesn't it mean she might have hurt the child?"
"What do you mean?" Madam Zhang looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction after hearing this and said, "Do you mean that the biological mother of this child will kill him because of jealousy? What good will it be for Liu Juan if the child dies? Shouldn't she wait until the child grows up so that she can have a better handle?"
"Then you have to ask Madam Liu about this matter."
Xu Mingming looked at Liu Juan and spoke deeply. She felt that the background of Liu Juan's child was unknown a few days ago. Such a thing happened today, which really made people suspicious. Moreover, Gu Yuan's mother was brought in as a link in this. Liu Juan must have investigated it clearly. Today, she must make things clear and drive Liu Juan out.
Xu Miaomiao looked at Liu Juan and stepped forward and said, "Of course, Madam Liu is pregnant. I took your pulse. I don't know why you were pregnant when you came back at night. What did Madam Liu do during the day to make someone pregnant with a child overnight?"
"Madam Xu, it was obviously your own fault that you didn't detect the pregnancy because you were not well-trained. I found a doctor outside and he detected it. How can you doubt me because of this? Even so, Madam Zhang found many doctors to see me, and they all said that I was pregnant. But you said that they didn't detect my pulse. Isn't it obvious who is right and who is wrong?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded. Liu Juan's words made sense, but the more so, the easier it was to misunderstand and miss the point. Xu Miaomiao saw him continue to speak, "Yes, that's why it's strange. What happened to Madam Liu that day, or what medicine did she use? Madam Liu told me that she used induction when she gave birth, so she wanted to give birth to the baby quickly, but I didn't see any signs of induction in your pulse. So it's strange. Madam Liu gave birth to the baby nearly a month early, and the baby is still so healthy. It doesn't look like a premature birth at all."
Liu Juan was silent after hearing what she said. According to what Xu Miaomiao said, there were too many suspicious points about Liu Juan.
"Madam Liu, do you want to speak out first, or should I tell everyone?"
Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Juan in front of her.
Liu Juan smiled and looked at Xu Miaomiao in front of her and continued, "Madam Xu, what are you talking about? I gave birth to a child. Don't you know where it came from? Besides, it was Madam Gu who pushed the matter of my husband personally. Madam Gu, have you forgotten it too?"
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, her eyebrows jumped, and her fingers subconsciously held Xu Qingshan. Xu Qingshan gently stroked his back and looked at Liu Juan in front of him and said, "I was indeed poisoned that day, but I really have no memory of these things. I can't remember what happened at all."
Liu Juan raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction when she heard this, and then she looked at Xu Qingshan and continued, "You were very enthusiastic towards me that day, but why are you so cold today? It's like you've become a different person."
When Xu Qingshan heard this, his face turned red. To be honest, he really couldn't remember what happened before he drank that day. He really couldn't remember.
When I woke up the next morning, I had no memory of anything.
"Liu Juan, why do you have to keep pretending like this?" Xu Miaomiao took a step forward impatiently after seeing this and said, "Mr. Nangong has already investigated everything about you in the military camp. You are no longer innocent. We still don't know whose child you are carrying. Besides, I didn't feel your pulse that day. I guess you must have taken something to suppress your pulse, and then took the antidote. Xu Qingshan is just a tool you used. In order to stay in the Song Mansion, you even made up such a lie."
When Liu Juan heard this, she laughed at herself and looked at Xu Miaomiao with red eyes: "So what if it is, so what if it is not."
Aunt Zhang finally understood all the causes and consequences this time. She looked at Liu Juan and said in dissatisfaction: "Why do you treat me like this?"
"Do you really want to make you my daughter-in-law by treating you this way? Is this how you lied to me?"
