After ordering the disposal of Geng, Yinzhen turned around and left. His expression was indifferent throughout, without any change, as if Liu had just lost not his child, and as if Geng's life or death had nothing to do with him.
"Sister, does it still hurt? It's all my fault. I didn't realize the difference of the sachet earlier, which led to you being slapped by the evil-minded Geng."
When leaving Liu's yard together with Dong E, Dong E kept asking questions with earnest concern on the way.
Hearing her sisters calling out non-stop, Jiang Ranli's stomach was churning, but he was under the eaves at the moment and couldn't get angry, so he had to endure the nausea and respond.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you, Madam."
"You said it's okay, but your face is swollen now. I'll ask Qingmei to bring you some ointment later, otherwise it will take a while to heal."
Looking at Jiang Ranli with lowered brows and a pleasing look, Dong E's smile reached the bottom of her eyes.
"Okay, Madam is still very thoughtful. I would like to thank you first," Jiang Ranli said.
"It's such a pity about Liu's child, otherwise I would have a little prince or princess, and this mansion would be much more lively," Dong E sighed, her face full of regret.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Ranli didn't even want to waste the energy to sneer, and just walked quietly.
Dong E didn't care whether Jiang Ranli responded or not, she just kept talking to herself, "Geng has been a little arrogant recently. She just relied on her father's promotion and thought that she could be different in front of me from now on. Now she has done such a wrong thing. Ha, fortunately, our master has always been clear about rewards and punishments, otherwise you, my sister, would have been framed by that vicious woman today."
Jiang Ranli frowned slightly when she heard that. If her observation was correct, the look Geng gave Dong E when she was sentenced to caning was clearly one of disbelief. Why did she have such an expression? It must be because she didn't expect that Dong E, who had conspired with her, would betray her.
Moreover, the last sentence of her defense, which she did not have time to finish, clearly wanted to mention Dong E, but she was interrupted by Dong E's stern face.
"I would also like to thank you, Madam. If it were not for your meticulousness, I would not be able to clear the charges." Jiang Ranli said thank you in a tasteless manner, suppressing the churning in her stomach.
Dong E smiled when she heard the voice. Her beautiful face with delicate makeup became even more beautiful, and looked particularly lively and delicate in the vibrant spring day.
When they reached a fork in the road, Dong E stopped and Jiang Ranli also stopped.
"You must be tired today. Go back and have a good rest. Don't think about those messy things."
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
Jiang Ran bowed and waited until Dong E was far away before turning around and walking towards his own courtyard.
"Miss, today is so scary." When there was no one else around, Sixian finally dared to speak.
"Well, it's really scary."
Jiang Ranli really wanted to comfort Sixian and tell her not to be afraid, but she really couldn't calm herself down.
"Miss, I think it was very strange when Geng Gege was dragged out, as if there was some hidden secret," Si Xian recalled the situation at that time, with confusion written all over her little face.
Jiang Ranli paused when he heard the voice, his mind filled with thoughts.
Even Sixian noticed that something was a little strange about what happened today, so how could Yinzhen not notice it?
He must have seen it, but he didn't stop Dong E, didn't go looking for the real murderer. Dong E was his legitimate wife, and her maternal family was powerful, so it was understandable that he didn't touch her. But wasn't the child Liu's womb tragically dead his own? He didn't feel the slightest bit of grief, as if the child in Liu's belly was just a stranger.
What a scumbag, a really scumbag!
