Chapter 525: Responsibility
Looking at Lu Yilei pleading for Meng Rou, Zhong Nianyao said with a half-smile, "Lu Yilei, I'm curious, do you love Meng Rou so much? Do you know what kind of person she is?"
"I know Xiaorou better than you do." Lu Yilei stood firmly on Meng Rou's side. "This time, I owe you a favor. No matter what she did wrong, I will bear the consequences."
"Bear?" Zhong Nianyao smiled coldly and continued, "She wants my life. How are you going to bear it? One life for another, your life for hers?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Rou, with disbelief, suspicion and surprise in their eyes. Who could have thought that Meng Rou, who looked so weak and fragile, would do such a thing.
Is this a misunderstanding, or is it true that you can't judge a person by his appearance?
"That's impossible." Lu Yilei retorted subconsciously, "Xiao Rou is not that kind of person, and she doesn't have that kind of ability."
"Haha, that's why I was saying, do you really know the real her?" Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow and continued, "You don't even know what kind of person she is, yet you're defending her like this. It seems like you're really blind!"
"I know Rou'er better than you do." Lu Yilei looked at Zhong Nianyao with a very unfriendly look, "If you really hurt Rou'er, I will not let you go."
"Old Four."
It was Old Master Lu who spoke. He shouted, "Shut up right there. I think you're possessed. How can a woman like this be worth your protection?"
"Dad, you don't understand Xiaorou at all. You can't just believe everything Zhong Nianyao says!" Lu Yilei said unconvincedly, "She said Xiaorou wanted to kill her, so there must be a motive! They haven't even met a few times, why would Xiaorou want to hurt her!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought. Indeed, everyone had this doubt.
Only Meng Rou, who was caught, changed her face drastically after hearing Lu Yile's words. She wanted to stop it, but she sadly found that she could do nothing at this moment.
"Do you really want to know?" Zhong Nianyao smiled meaningfully. "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you. I used to know Meng Rou. If you really want to know, I can be considered Meng Rou's savior! However, I've seen her worst side, and she was afraid that I would expose her true face, so she wanted to kill me. To be more precise, she probably wanted me to shut up forever!"
"Don't say it, don't say it."
Meng Rou kept shouting in her heart, but found that when she opened her mouth, she couldn't make any sound.
Ignoring Meng Rou's anxious look, Zhong Nian Yao directly told all the grudges between her and Meng Rou.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, the faces of the people present changed. Especially the old man and Mrs. Lu, whose faces were as dark as ink.
They had always disliked Meng Rou, thinking she was not a quiet girl. However, they had never expected that they had underestimated her.
At such a young age, her private life was already so chaotic, and she had even caused such a mess. She even made it so that she would not be able to have children in the future.
It would be shameful to take a girl like this as a lover.
At the same time, when they looked at Zhong Nianyao, their eyes became a little strange. They had only heard of things like ghost babies and underworld messengers, but they didn't expect that someone had actually experienced them.
Moreover, Zhong Nianyao actually has such a method. No wonder she can win Lu Yichen's favor. If she were just a delicate girl, she would not be in Lu Yichen's eyes!
After all, they were members of a big family, so they accepted what Zhong Nianyao said very quickly.
"But isn't Meng Rou already pregnant with Fourth Brother's child?" Ling Ziwei asked doubtfully, "Didn't they say she'd never have another child in her lifetime?"
"That's right."
Lu Yilei, who had been somewhat depressed, seemed to have grasped some hope at this moment. He looked at Zhong Nianyao and said, "If what you said is true, then how could Xiaorou be pregnant with my child!"
"Child?" Zhong Nianyao's gaze fell on Meng Rou's belly. "How can something that's neither human nor ghost be called a child?"
"What do you mean?"
It was Madam Lu who spoke, her voice trembling slightly, "What on earth is in her stomach?"
"Her uterus has been corroded by Yin energy for too long. It's not suitable for bearing a child at all." Zhong Nianyao raised her eyes, a meaningful smile on her face. "However, a place with such heavy Yin energy is very suitable for bearing something with heavy Yin energy."
"Meng Rou, you must be very grateful to Master Zeng for helping you conceive this child! However, he's not so kind. He's using your womb to help him conceive a little ghost."
"While this little ghost was still in the womb, his mother suffered inhuman torture and died in excruciating pain. When she died, the child inside her belly also felt the resentment of her mother before her death. Furthermore, since he was forced to die before he was even born, his resentment is doubled."
"Master Zeng extracted the soul of this little ghost and refined it. Now it just needs to grow inside your belly. Once it is born, it will become a powerful weapon."
As soon as the words fell, everyone present felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet. Some even shuddered involuntarily.
If anyone had the biggest reaction, it would be Meng Rou, because she was the person involved, and she was pregnant with such a monster.
Before, she had heard Zhong Nianyao say that there was something in her belly that was neither human nor ghost. But Zhong Nianyao didn't say it explicitly, so she didn't know.
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, she instantly remembered the torture that the ghost baby had brought her. She couldn't imagine what she would become after the little ghost that Zhong Nianyao mentioned was born.
Lu Yilei's face turned pale at this moment. He wanted to speak up to defend Meng Rou. But after seeing Meng Rou's expression, he knew that what Zhong Nianyao said was true. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
But even so, he still couldn't let go of Meng Rou.
