"Am I being unreasonable or are you being unreasonable? It was my sister who almost lost her life, not my aunt and brother-in-law. You're all so at ease. Did my sister suffer for nothing? I've said before that even if this matter reaches Father Emperor, you won't be in the right. She's just a concubine's son. How can she be compared to the principal wife? If you insist on going your own way, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the censors and losing my uncle's official position?!"
Just because she doesn't show her power doesn't mean she's some kind of pushover! She's going to get to the bottom of this today!
Wu Yunzhu's face turned pale and then red, and she couldn't utter a word to refute him.
They were also stunned by the phrase "impeached by the censor."
Even though Isanga was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he could not withstand the impeachment by the censors.
It's really not worth it to have a child with a maid.
He Yue raised her voice and ordered Wang Mama, "Bring that woman here!"
Granny Wang responded and left.
She had watched the Sixth Princess grow up, and she was angry that this family was bullying her like this, and she sighed inwardly at the Sixth Princess's miserable fate.
Soon Aunt Zhang was brought over.
Aunt Zhang's arms were held behind her back by Granny Wang, and she struggled to break free, her face showing panic.
Upon entering the flower hall and seeing Wuyunzhu and Yiduli, she immediately cried out, "Young master, madam, please do justice for me! This servant dragged me here without even asking what happened, and he won't listen to anything I say!"
Granny Wang kicked her in the back of the knee, forcing Aunt Zhang to kneel down, her forehead sweating with pain.
Wu Yunzhu immediately stood up: "She's pregnant! How can you, a mere servant, be so rude?! Can you bear the consequences if the child is harmed?"
She couldn't afford to offend the Thirteenth Prince's wife, so why couldn't she reprimand a mere servant?
Wang Mama smiled faintly and bowed slightly: "Madam, please calm down. This old servant stepped too hard for a moment, it was not intentional."
Wu Yunzhu felt a breath catch in her throat, unable to breathe, so she forced herself to sit back down and turn her face away.
Heyue calmly sized up Aunt Zhang in front of her. She had an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a delicate, fragile appearance, like a white lotus flower. No wonder she could coax Yiduli like that.
Her lower abdomen wasn't showing yet, so there was no indication that she was pregnant. He Yue hated this woman to the extreme, and she wasn't going to let her off easily today.
"So you're Aunt Zhang?" He Yue smiled gently, but her eyes were icy cold.
Aunt Zhang didn't recognize Heyue, but when she saw the servant who had been rude to her earlier standing behind her, she knew he was one of her people.
She subconsciously realized that the other party had ill intentions, and with tears in her eyes, she weakly replied, "I...I am." She then looked at Iduli for help, but Iduli didn't even look at her.
When He Yue saw her pleading for help from Yi Duli, she sneered and looked at Yi Duli: "Brother-in-law, I've brought the person to you. How you deal with her is up to you, but I think the crime of framing the mistress should be quite serious."
Iduli's lips twitched. Just a moment ago he had been acting domineering and arrogant, but now he was even calling him brother-in-law.
He glanced at Aunt Zhang, and he couldn't help but feel resentment.
At first, I was fooled by her seemingly weak appearance and allowed her to give birth to the child. I never expected her to treat Yan Yue like that. If she hadn't been pregnant, I would have kicked her out long ago.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang's face turned deathly pale. She rushed over and hugged Yi Duli's leg, pleading, "Young Master, I'm innocent! I would never dare to harm the mistress! Please have mercy!"
Iduli frowned in disgust, turned his face away, and looked at Heyue: "Once she gives birth to the child, I will not keep her. Are you satisfied?"
Aunt Zhang looked up at him in astonishment, tears welling in her eyes, looking pitiful.
“That won’t do. What if she causes trouble during her pregnancy? What if she miscarries the child and then frames my sister?” Heyue glanced coldly at Aunt Zhang.
Judging from Yi Duli's reaction, he certainly didn't have feelings for Aunt Zhang, and He Yue chose to believe that he was truly sincere towards Sixth Sister.
After all, people in ancient times placed great importance on offspring, which explains why Yi Duli tolerated Zhang Yiniang on multiple occasions.
But she wouldn't let this woman use the child as a weapon to continue doing whatever she wanted.
Itori remained silent.
Wu Yunzhu was already feeling guilty, so she quickly assured her, "After this incident, we will no longer doubt Yan Yue. Yan Yue is a good girl, and as her aunt, I naturally trust my niece and daughter-in-law."
He Yue stared intently at Yi Duli, waiting for his answer.
Helpless, Yi Duli coldly looked down at Aunt Zhang: "From today onwards, you will be confined to your room. You are not allowed to step out of the room before the child is born. If anything happens to the child, your life will be forfeited. Think it over carefully."
Aunt Zhang was incredulous, shaking her head repeatedly, and crying heartbrokenly, "Young Master, you can't treat me like this, I'm truly innocent..."
Yi Duli kicked Aunt Zhang to the ground and angrily shouted, "Don't think I don't know what you've done. If it weren't for your pregnancy, I would have already stopped tolerating you. If you dare to have any other thoughts, I don't mind killing this child with my own hands!"
Aunt Zhang was kicked to the ground, clutching her injured shoulder, tears streaming down her face.
He Yue curled her lips in satisfaction and coldly glanced at Aunt Zhang: "If you are willing to give birth to the child in peace, I will spare your life. If the child is lost, not only your life, but also the lives of your entire family, I will never forgive. I am the Thirteenth Prince's wife, you must believe that I am not joking with you!"
Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth in resentment, knowing that there was no way to turn things around this time, so she had no choice but to accept her fate and think to herself that there would be plenty of time in the future.
With her accepting her fate so easily, how could Heyue not guess what she was thinking?
But he didn't really care.
He Yue's only concern was ensuring that the woman could give birth safely. As for where the woman would go after giving birth, she wasn't worried at all.
Even if Yiduli said he wouldn't keep this woman, and even if Yiduli couldn't bear it, Heyue would still have Thirteen deal with her.
