Chapter 335 Dead Baby
But to become an official and take the imperial examination, one needs a reputation. People with a bad reputation are destined not to go far. She grasped this point and came to the door of the Song family, kneeling down when there were the most people around.
The purpose is to threaten Song Laosan's family.
Song Ci took the opportunity to speak: "Go back now, I won't bother with you."
Song Ying's fingers curled up for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "If you don't help me, I'll stay on my knees and won't get up. Let everyone see how you bully me! I'm pregnant, and if anything goes wrong, it'll be your fault."
There was a hint of hysteria in her expression.
"Okay, if you don't go back, don't blame me for not giving you face."
"What are you going to do?" Song Ying suddenly became alert, and then felt that the other party could not have known all this, because she was just guessing and had no solid evidence.
Her voice rose, "I can't help you. If I help you, I will be sorry to the emperor and the people!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Your father secretly withheld taxes from the people! He was lawless and was imprisoned by the emperor and sentenced to death. If I help you, what will I become? What will those people whose money your father withheld be worth? Is there any justice in this world?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and soon the person who had just been speaking for Song Ying turned against her and spitted at Song Ying who was kneeling on the ground.
Her face looked grim. She didn't expect Song Ci to actually say it without caring about her face.
"Those are all fake, my dad didn't do it!"
"Your father didn't do it?" She asked with a half-smile, "You mean, the emperor wronged your father? This is a false accusation."
Song Ying's face suddenly changed, "I didn't say that, Song Ci, you have such a cruel heart, you actually want to accuse me of such a crime!"
"I'm not cruel. I just spoke your heart out. I just don't know if your in-laws, the Liang family, know that you came to our house to say this, or if this was orchestrated by the Liang family, just to make me, the Song family, sad and unfaithful!"
Song Ci became more and more excited as he spoke.
Those who were spitting at Song Ying just now became even more angry when they heard that the other party's in-laws were the powerful Liang family. Some people even made up stories about whether the two families had joined forces to embezzle and accept bribes.
Song Ci glanced around and found that some people left in a hurry, so he curled the corners of his lips.
It seems that the Liang family knew that Song Ying was causing trouble. The Liang family hated the Song family and naturally wanted to see them suffer. Once they saw that it was disadvantageous to their family, they would immediately come out to clean up the mess.
"No, no, you're talking nonsense! My father and my in-laws are not like that!"
"You say it's not true, so it's not true? You high-ranking officials do nothing for the people all day long, and you only know how to squeeze the people's money! It's really hateful." After an aunt said this, she picked up the rotten leaves in the basket and threw them at Song Ying.
Her neatly combed hairpin was knocked askew, and her hair was a little messy.
The others also cursed with spit flying. The common people at the bottom have always disliked the powerful and extravagant, so if they have the chance, they will naturally step on them.
Song Ci looked at the chaotic scene, and saw Song Ying's face covered with saliva and messy hair due to being scolded.
The maid who came with Song Ying didn't expect the situation to be like this. It was completely different from what they imagined, so they pulled Song Ying away.
Song Ying was wearing a thick coat and skirt, and her big belly made her walk clumsy. After taking a few steps, she didn't know whether she tripped herself or was tripped by someone, and she fell heavily to the ground with a scream.
The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurried to help him, but felt a warmth on her hand. She lowered her eyes and saw that it was covered in blood.
"ah!"
Some maids screamed, and Song Ying could only moan softly in pain. She was already very pregnant, and a fall like this was like stepping into the gates of hell for her.
Her whole face wrinkled up.
As for Song Ci, she stood far away, so even if Song Ying wanted to blame someone, she couldn't.
The people from the Liang family rushed over and saw the shouting and cursing at the Liang family and Song Ying. They also saw Song Ying sitting on the ground with a pool of blood. Mrs. Liang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Are you all blind? Hurry up and help her up!"
She turned around and angrily scolded Song Ci: "You are so cruel! She is about to give birth!"
Song Ci's expression remained calm. "I didn't get close to her from the beginning to the end. Is it possible that if someone falls down at my doorstep, it's all my fault? Madam Liang is so unreasonable. Are all your families so domineering and arrogant? You like to frame others for anything that happens."
Her sharp tongue provoked the people around her to try again.
Seeing Madam Liang again in her brocade and silk clothes, with her hair covered in pearls and jade, they were filled with hatred. In their eyes, these were all money taken from them by the powerful.
Mrs. Liang knew that now was not the time to fight with Song Ci, and she secretly cursed Song Ying for being incompetent. If she was to get hurt, it would at least implicate Song Ci.
Seeing Mrs. Liang's eyes rolling and Song Ying's cries of pain becoming smaller and smaller, Song Ci understood.
Madam Liang doesn't want to save her, or is she deliberately causing Song Ying to have an abortion?
After a while, Mrs. Liang left with her group.
Qiao Xianglan watched Song Ying being carried onto the carriage with a pale face, and said with regret, "Poor child, I'm afraid we can't save her."
After all, she was a woman who had given birth before, so she could tell at a glance what Song Ying's condition was. When she fell just now, she was not only injured, but her amniotic fluid also broke. Mrs. Liang wasted time resting here, and if it took too long, the child would suffocate to death in her stomach.
This was indeed the case. In the evening, Mrs. Liang received good news with the support of her elder and second sisters-in-law.
"Madam, the Third Young Master's wife gave birth to a son, but the child died shortly after birth."
The servants couldn't see, and Mrs. Liang was close by. Madam Liang breathed a sigh of relief, then said in a sad tone, "Take good care of her. Tell her that she is still young and can have children in the future."
Servant: "Yes."
After the others left, her sadness disappeared. She looked coldly at the nanny beside her and said, "You are the most knowledgeable about gynecology. Will she still be able to have children in the future?"
"Young Madam is so badly injured, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive."
"Since that's not possible, let's find someone who can give birth. She... can just take good care of herself. Move her out of the yard, to a side yard, so she doesn't bring bad luck to my son."
"yes."
Mrs. Liang shuddered. It was true that she hated Song Ying, but she never expected that she would end up in such a miserable state.
It seems that Madam Liang didn't want this child in the first place. She is such a cruel mother-in-law.
Mrs. Liang's eyes rolled and she smiled, "Mother, now that the third daughter-in-law is in such a state, she is definitely not able to manage the household. The eldest sister-in-law is too busy to handle it alone. Although I am incompetent, I am willing to help the eldest sister-in-law."
Mrs. Liang nodded, "Okay."
Mrs. Liang Er was even happier, "Thank you, mother."
In comparison, Mrs. Liang's face looked unhappy. She didn't expect that her sister-in-law would bring up this matter quietly at this time, catching her off guard.
