Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"C-C-C-section to get the baby?" Lin asked in surprise, "How is Fang Zhi now?"
Shang Ruoyi said softly: "It's okay, the wound has been sutured. It will heal in less than ten days and will be back to normal in more than a month."
Even though she said that, everyone's faces were still very ugly.
Just then, there was a faint noise from under the bed.
"Hiss..." Cong Fangzhi moved, and the pain in her abdomen made her cry out.
"Don't move." Shang Ruoyi walked forward and said, "You still have an injury in your abdomen. You must be extremely careful in whatever you do in the next few days."
"Injured?" Cong Fangzhi asked in surprise, "How could there be an injury?"
"I just performed a cesarean section on you."
Caesarean section?
Although Cong Fangzhi didn't know what a cesarean section was, the word "cesarean section" was not difficult to understand.
She had no idea what happened after she fell into a coma due to childbirth, and when her consciousness faded, she thought she would not get through this.
At this moment, she ignored the pain in her body and struggled to sit up.
"I told you not to move now." Shang Ruoyi held her down: "The child is fine, he has already fallen asleep."
Cong Fangzhi paused, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you." She cried and said, "I thought, I thought..."
"Don't think too much. Now you and your child are safe, which is more important than anything else."
At this moment, He Jingxi walked forward and wanted to hold Cong Fangzhi's hand, but he was worried that his hands would be cold and would freeze her. He rubbed them on his clothes for a while before holding her hand and whispered, "Fangzhi, you have suffered."
With these words, Cong Fangzhi's tears fell even more.
Before Lin left with the child in her arms, Cong Fangzhi looked at the baby in the cradle and finally smiled.
This is her child, the child she exchanged her own life for.
She looked at Shang Ruoyi, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything else except thank you.
The old princess looked at Shang Ruoyi's figure, thought about what she had just said, and her heart moved slightly.
Shang Ruoyi came to the main hall and ordered someone to bring Zhao Xiyin over.
The old princess whispered, "Ruoyi, there's no need to interrogate her. Just give her a good beating and send her back to the palace."
Zhao Xiyin knelt on the ground and burst into tears when she heard this: "Old Madam, I really am devoted to you! I am wronged, wronged!"
"Devoted to the master?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are chattering there, aren't you just trying to stop me from treating Cong? You are confusing right and wrong and sowing discord. A servant actually wants to ride on the master's head, or you are planning to drag Cong to death so that you have a chance to take her place. Let everyone think that I am jealous of Cong. It would be best if they blame Cong's death on me and drive me out of the mansion." She looked at Zhao Xinyin and saw that her face was getting paler and paler, so she knew that she had guessed it all.
"Your ultimate goal is nothing more than the He family's money. You hope to live a parasitic life like you do in the county governor's mansion." Shang Ruoyi sneered: "You think you are smart enough, so you want to treat everyone as a fool. In fact, you are the real fool."
Zhao Xiyin didn't expect that Shang Ruoyi had guessed all her plans. She fell to the ground weakly. After a while, she said faintly: "You, when did you know?"
By saying this, she admitted it.
The old princess said angrily, "Who do you think you are, you bastard? How dare you have such dirty thoughts on our He family? What else can I say? Just punish me."
Zhao Xi was shocked when he heard this, and stood up quickly: "Why? I came to work for your He family, I didn't sign a contract to sell myself, let alone a death contract, why should I let you decide my fate?"
Now that her thoughts were exposed by Shang Ruoyi, she didn't plan to continue pretending. She simply stood up and looked at the old princess and Shang Ruoyi coldly: "You are just exiled prisoners, and you still think you are the princess and the prince's consort of the Dingguo Palace? I haven't broken the law, why do you punish me?"
The old princess was furious when she heard this. Even though her property was confiscated and she was exiled, she still had the pride of a royal family in her bones. Now that this layer of shame has been removed in public, how could she bear it?
“You, you!”
Zhao Xiyin raised his chin slightly: "So what if it's the princess? So what if it's the prince's wife? You are nothing now. Your descendants are the descendants of criminals. They will never be allowed to enter the government. For eternity, the Dingguo Palace will all be criminals!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped hard on her non-swollen face.
Shang Ruoyi did not hold back in this palm strike and directly slapped her more than two meters away. She opened her mouth and two white teeth and blood came out of her mouth.
"Ahem."
Zhao Xi was so dazed from the beating that he looked at her in horror.
Shang Ruoyi walked forward step by step, looked down at her, and said in a cold voice: "Nothing? The descendant of a criminal?" Her face was serious, and she looked at her as if she was looking at a dead person: "Do you know what the word Dingguo Palace means to Jishun? Do you know how many soldiers of Dingguo Palace died on the battlefield for the people of Jishun? Jishun has the peace it has today, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, a large part of which is due to the efforts of Dingguo Palace. Now that Dingguo Palace has been demoted and exiled, are all its past achievements forgotten? Those soldiers who died for their country have lost their names? Absolutely impossible!"
Shang Ruoyi's words were like a shot of adrenaline, cheering up everyone present.
Yun Yu was standing outside, his eyes slightly red. Be it exile or demoted, they didn't care at all. In their hearts, whether the court recognized it or not, the Dingguo Palace would always exist. But what really made them sad was all the soldiers who were buried. Their brothers, who had thrown away their lives for the sake of the common people, now had to bear the infamy of being criminals and traitors.
"If you were not a relative of the Zhao Jun Shou, I would not want to keep you even if you broke your head. But now, if Lord Zhao knew, he would want to drive you away immediately."
At this time, Zhao Xinyin's face was swollen like a pig's head. She stared with her eyes wide open, wanting to speak but not daring to make a sound, for fear that what she said would anger her again. With her strength, a few punches would beat her half to death.
"Someone, take her out of the mansion." The old princess sat on the chair and knocked the ground heavily with her cane. The anger in her heart slowly dissipated. Looking at Shang Ruoyi's back, she couldn't help but nodded secretly.
This granddaughter-in-law of mine is indeed different from others.
Although they are very opinionated and even sneer at the rules of their ancestors, it is undeniable that every time they say something emotional, it always makes their blood boil and they feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
