"Yes, I did both of those things, so I admit it. But I didn't kill Xu Ranyun, so I won't admit it no matter what."
Xue Zhilan screamed miserably, then jumped up, with disheveled hair and a ferocious face. She bent over and rushed towards Su Nuannuan, but before she reached the place, she was grabbed by several old women and dragged out without saying a word.
After hearing what Duan Tingxuan said, these old women came in and prepared to take the people on the ground away, but because Su Nuannuan and Xue Zhilan were talking, they did not dare to disturb them and had to stand quietly aside. It was not until Xue Zhilan rushed towards them madly that they immediately stepped forward to grab the frail woman, and then pulled her hair and dragged her out without mercy.
The hall returned to silence. Su Nuannuan collapsed on the chair, muttering, "How can human hearts be so terrible? A man with three wives and four concubines is said to be blessed with all the wives, haha! Is that such a blessing? Why do women have to make things difficult for other women? We are born in such an era, and we women are weak. We should support and love each other. Why do we kill each other? We even spare our children?"
"Don't be sad, grandma. They have ill intentions and it's all their fault. If your sadness for them affects the fetus in your belly, it's not worth it."
Aunt Jiang walked forward to help Su Nuannuan up, and persuaded her softly. Before she finished her words, she heard a voice from behind the screen saying, "Wanfang is right. It's not worth it to be sad for a few vicious women."
"ah!"
Su Nuannuan screamed in shock and jumped up from her chair. Seeing Madam Yang coming out from behind the screen, she subconsciously asked, "Why is Madam hiding there? Her sudden voice startled me."
Madam Yang's head was full of black lines. She looked at Su Nuannuan with a look of disappointment and said through gritted teeth, "Didn't you see me and Jiang's Xu Shizi going in behind the screen together? Just now when the two of them went out, didn't I stay behind? Why are you so scared?"
"Ah...hahaha...hahaha. Um...I completely forgot about my wife being behind the screen, haha...hahaha..."
Su Nuannuan laughed dryly. When these words came out, Madam Yang was not only furious, but her face turned gray. However, after staring at Su Nuannuan for a while, she couldn't help but burst out laughing and spat, "Bah! It turns out that a shrew like you can also show such childish behavior. I thought you would never know what fear is."
"Madam, isn't this a surprise? Please don't stab me. After all, I am carrying your grandson or granddaughter."
Madam Yang snorted coldly, wanting to say something to Su Nuannuan. However, seeing that her face was a little bleak, she only cared for her and sighed, "When you were wild and fierce in the past, they were all silent; who would have thought that after returning from Meiyue Tower, you became sensible and reasonable. But they all schemed to harm you. It's all your own fault. Now that I think about it, Liu Min and I have been fighting for half our lives, and all we did was for the favor of our children and husbands. How dare they kill people? Ran Yun and Zhilan are also daughters of noble families, but on the surface they are obedient and virtuous, but their hearts are full of these vicious ideas. Alas! It's true that Qi Da is not a good match."
Su Nuannuan thought, what does this have to do with Qi Dafeiou? My Si'er in history was born in a poor family, just a slave. Isn't it cruel and ruthless to harm Longkodo's wife? As long as a man has three wives and four concubines, these fights are inevitable. To avoid fights and keep the family safe, the only effective way is monogamy. Humph! In the future, I have to keep an eye on those little guys. I can't let them have mistresses at such a young age. When they grow up, I will find a good girl to marry. I will never let them enjoy the happiness of Qiren. The happiness of Qiren is bullshit, it is simply a disaster for Qiren.
Of course, she couldn't say this for the time being. Madam Yang urged her to go back and rest. She just didn't want to stay in this cold place, so she was supported by Aunt Jiang and returned to Chunfeng Garden. She saw Aunt Jing walking back and forth anxiously at the gate of the courtyard. When she saw her, she hurried over and asked anxiously, "What happened? I heard that all this was secretly instigated by Grandma Lan. How is this possible? She has always been gentle as water..."
Before he could finish, Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him. She snorted coldly, "Gentle as water? Don't you know there is a saying in this world called sweet words but sharp tongue? So many people are watching. Even if I want to put the blame on her, it won't work. She has done all the wrong things herself, and now she is getting her retribution."
Aunt Jing said quickly, "It's not that I don't believe grandma, I'm just really shocked. Alas! I was with her that day, and at least I seemed to be fine on the surface."
Aunt Jiang said angrily, "You didn't see it. At that time, Grandma Lan looked so miserable, like a demon from hell. She didn't say that she had done something wrong and was being punished. She wanted to hit Grandma. Fortunately, she was stopped by the maids."
Su Nuannuan nodded and said thoughtfully, "This matter is a bit strange. Logically, it has come to that point. What crime can't she not admit? She confessed to instigating Xu Ranyun to harm Chuan Ge'er and bribing people to harm me. Why doesn't she confess to harming Xu Ranyun?"
Aunt Jiang's heart skipped a beat. She exchanged glances with Rong'er and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Aunt Jiang pretended to be angry and said, "Maybe because Chuan'er and grandma are fine now, she admitted these two things and still hoped that the Duke's Mansion could rescue her. But if she admitted the crime of killing Grandma Yun, even the Duke's Mansion would not be able to save her life."
"Maybe, although I don't think so. Never mind. I've been working so hard for half a day. I'm going to have a good sleep this time. You don't know how uncomfortable it is to sit on that chair. The little guy took the opportunity to kick me several times. I don't know how he found the right opportunity. He knew I couldn't deal with him at that time."
Aunt Jing couldn't help laughing and shook her head, "Grandma, you are talking like a child again. Can you handle him now? He is still in your belly."
"Who said I can't deal with him? At least, I can still do it by patting my belly." Su Nuannuan laughed, then held Aunt Jiang and Aunt Jing's arms, and sighed: "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise who outside would know my suffering? People will only say that the Anping Marquis's mansion is now clean and tidy, and it's all caused by that gluttonous grandma. Tell me, if this is true, wouldn't I be more wronged than Dou E?"
This sentence made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.
"Caisang, I can see that I am going to die. There is no one here except you, me and Longyan. As for Longyan, she and I are in the same group, and no one in the Marquis' Mansion will believe her. So, you should tell me why you want to harm me? Just because I want to marry you to my brother, and you don't want to, so you collude with outsiders to harm me?"
Behind the kitchen of Anping Marquis' Mansion, there were several woodsheds. Xue Zhilan and Longyan Caisang were locked in one of them at this time. It was quiet all around. Night was about to fall. Xue Zhilan looked at Caisang, whose eyes were dull, and suddenly asked softly.
"It's not just this. Grandma, I'm afraid you don't know yet? The young master was attracted by my sister-in-law's beauty and raped her at every turn with all kinds of excuses. In order to facilitate his beastly behavior, he even transferred my brother to the farm to do the hardest and most tiring work. He even didn't give money to treat my brother's leg that was bitten off by a wolf, and asked me to find a solution here."
"How could such a thing happen? Why didn't you tell me? What's more, what does this have to do with me? Why do you want to harm me?" Xue Zhilan became excited. She never expected that Cai Sang's reason for harming her was so ridiculous. She was completely innocent.
"Haha!" Cai Sang sneered, "Will it be useful to tell you, Grandma Lan? Will you persuade the young master for my brother and his wife? You won't. You even sent me into the fire pit for the young master, knowing that his place is a pit of fire. In your eyes, I am just a tool. You have never treated me as a human being, just like how Grandma Yun treated Aunt Jiang, right?"
Xue Zhilan was stunned for a long while. She suddenly laughed "Ha", then laughed "hahahaha", she laughed so hard that she fell backwards and tears came out. She laughed and panted and shouted: "Stupid, I am really stupid... Hahaha, I said Xu Ranyun didn't treat her girl as a human being, and finally we became enemies... Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would follow in her footsteps... Hahaha... The law of nature is cyclical and retribution is inevitable... It is really true, it is really true ahahaha..."
The laughter gradually subsided and the crying began, then the sound gradually became shrill and finally turned into a howl.
Duan Tingxuan stood outside the door woodenly. After thinking for a while, he finally took two steps back and left the place silently.
"Finally, all these worries are gone. From now on, I will just take Chuan Ge'er with me and live with my grandmother. Grandma is kind-hearted, and Grandpa is not heartless. As long as I behave myself, they will not treat Chuan Ge'er and me badly."
In the bedroom, the light was dim. Yang and Duan Maochuan had fallen asleep in their room. Aunt Jiang was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she leaned on the couch and talked quietly with Rong'er. But Rong'er laughed softly and said, "Aunt, are you willing to be a widow?"
"At this point, what is there to be unwilling about? Grandma is right, contentment is the key to happiness. Think about it, with my humble status, I can sleep with such a noble prince and have a child with him. This is already a great blessing. Even Grandma Lan and Grandma Yun have fallen into such a situation, but I can still live a peaceful life with Brother Chuan. When I am happy, I can do some chores, and when I am unhappy, I can take a few days off. I don't have to be humble and fawning to anyone. If I am still not satisfied with this kind of life, won't I be struck by lightning for my greed?"
