When Ning Yu heard Shen Zongyu's name, her brows furrowed slightly, and a faint longing arose in her heart.
During the time when the man was away, she had been using the children and chores to numb herself, but now it was like a flood that had been opened and was difficult to contain.
Ning Yu poured all her thoughts and feelings into a letter.
It was half a month later when Shen Zongyu received the letter.
In the big tent, Shen Zongyu sat in the main seat, with a fierce look in his eyes. In his big hand, he held a sharp sword stained with blood, and a strong smell of killing and blood lingered around him.
The people below were all trembling with fear and dared not say a word.
Shen Zongyu looked down from above, his eyes darting around, taking in the expressions of the people below, a cruel and cold smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't let me know who the spy is..."
We could have taken the city without any effort, but someone leaked the news and we had to pay a huge price to capture it!
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the tent. Someone opened the curtain and walked in, announcing, "My Lord, there's a letter for you!"
Without waiting for anyone to present the letter to him, Shen Zongyu walked down the stairs and opened the envelope impatiently. When he saw the delicate and elegant handwriting, the coldness in his body immediately disappeared.
Read it carefully.
When he saw the news that Ning Yu was two months pregnant, his stern face melted like the first snow, and the corners of his lips rose.
It almost made the people below think they were seeing things.
One of the subordinates boldly asked, "Excuse me, Lord Marquis, what happened?"
Shen Zongyu's brows relaxed, his voice tinged with joy. "My wife is two months pregnant."
The people below congratulated him.
No one noticed the complex emotions that kept fluctuating in Shen Si's eyes, as well as the ruthless light that flashed across them.
Shen Zongyu couldn't wait to return to the Marquis' Mansion. His expression suddenly turned cold and indifferent as he issued an order, "We must speed up the siege..."
Changping Marquis Mansion, Shi'an Garden.
Nanny Yuan walked in quickly and lowered her voice, "Madam, the secret line has sent word that your wife is almost three months pregnant, and her belly is bulging..."
Yuan Xian's lips curled up slowly, with a sinister smile. "Now that my father-in-law and the prince are gone, this is a good opportunity. Madam Yuan, go call Madam Hua..."
Soon, a thin, pale-faced woman walked in and knelt before Yuan Xian. "What does the Crown Prince's wife want from Hua Rong?"
Yuan Xian glanced at her, her tone revealing a hint of temptation, "·······Do you want to have your own child?"
Hua Rong suddenly raised her head, her eyes almost gleaming with light. "What does the Crown Prince's wife need me to do?"
Ever since the piece of flesh in her belly was gone, she has been crying every night and her eyes are almost blind. She just hopes that the child will come back to her.
Yuan Xian spoke word by word, "Ning Yu must have a miscarriage..."
Hua Rong gritted her teeth and agreed.
Ever since she lost her child, the prince has rarely come to her yard. She must seize this opportunity and gain a firm foothold after giving birth to the child...
As time passed, Ning Yu's belly grew bigger and bigger, and all the chores in the mansion were handed over to Nanny Xu.
Qinghe brought a plate of sour and sweet dried fruits, sprinkled with white icing, which looked very beautiful.
"Madam, these are freshly made dried fruits from the kitchen. Please try them."
At this time, Yue Xing's respectful voice came from outside, "Madam, Madam Hua requests to see you."
Ning Yu almost forgot that there was such a person in the mansion. Thinking that her original body had a close relationship with her in her previous life, she let her in.
Huarong was dressed in plain white, with a pale face and no decoration on her body. She knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Madam, please save me. The servants below bully me, and even the food is rotten..."
Hua Rong stepped forward and hugged Ning Yu's legs, and a strange fragrance emanated faintly.
Ning Yu frowned, this smell seemed a little off...
Yue Xing was afraid that Hua Rong would affect Ning Yu, so she quickly pulled her away.
Ning Yu remained calm. "Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't happen in the mansion. I'll send someone to go with you now."
Hua Rong's eyes suddenly became evasive, and she glanced at the dried fruits on the table, which seemed untouched.
"Don't bother Madam, just send someone to tell the kitchen."
Ning Yu nodded slightly.
Yue Xing watched Hua Rong's departing figure, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. "Madam, I've always felt that something is amiss with Madam Hua. Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Madam Tu?"
Ning Yu seemed to be lost in thought. He glanced at the plate of untouched dried fruits and sniffed it gently. It tasted sweet, but also had a very strange smell.
It is very similar to the fragrance coming from Huarong.
Ning Yu's eyes flashed with a sharpness. "Yue Xing, I suspect someone poisoned the dried fruit. Go find the person who made it."
Yue Xing was efficient and quickly found Aunt Li.
It was the first time that Aunt Li had seen such a celestial being. She was stunned for a moment, but then she quickly reacted and bowed. "Your servant greets the Madam."
"I'm asking you, did you make this stack of dried fruits?"
Aunt Li thought something was wrong with her and answered timidly, "Yes, yes."
Ning Yu carefully looked at Aunt Li's expression and didn't see any problems at all.
"Think about whether anyone has touched this dry dish."
Aunt Li's face turned pale with fear, thinking something had happened to the dried fruit. She thought desperately before saying, "Madam, I remember now. A servant named Chun'er from Madam Hua's courtyard wanted to take the dried fruit. I said I was giving it to Madam, and then I didn't touch it..."
Ning Yu pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Yuexing, go call Huarong and Chun'er over, and Qinghe will ask a skilled doctor to come in..."
\"yes!\"
When Shi'anyuan learned of Ning Yu's actions, Nanny Yuan became worried. "Madam, this little bitch is truly useless. Now that she's been caught, will Huarong betray you?"
Yuan Xian wasn't worried. She took a sip of her tea and said, "What if she confesses? She has no evidence."
As expected, after being discovered by Ning Yu, Hua Rong immediately gave Yuan Xian away.
Yuan Xian was quickly summoned by Ning Yu.
Ning Yu's eyes were filled with deep scrutiny, and her voice was sharp. "Hua Rong said you ordered her to do that. Is there anything you want to say?"
Yuan Xian's palms were slightly sweaty, and she tried to calm down. "Hua Rong and I have always had a personal grudge. She must have deliberately framed me!"
Hua Rong finally understood that Yuan Xian just wanted her to be a knife. If she succeeded, she would not be able to escape death!
Huarong raised her head and let out a horrifying and pathetic laugh from her throat.
The next second, Hua Rong pulled out the white jade hairpin on her head and slashed it across Yuan Xian's face.
Yuan Xian subconsciously took two steps back, covering her face and screaming.
The ground was stained with a pungent scarlet blood.
Hua Rong looked at Ning Yu's belly again with a crazy look on her face.
Her child died, so why could Ning Yu's child stay in her belly?!
Let’s go to hell together!
