Chapter 305 The Dead Mistress, Don't Call Me Lady Wei
Su Daiyue said, "But I didn't expect that he would hold a grudge against me all this time."
“I have been physically weak since childhood, and it is not easy for me to get pregnant. After finally getting pregnant, he actually wants me to experience the pain of losing a child!”
The stagnant water in Su Daiyue's eyes suddenly surged with emotion, and she said with hatred, "But this is also his flesh and blood! How could he be so heartless..."
Ji Qingwu quickly covered her mouth, silencing her shrill voice.
Then, he whispered in her ear, "Madam Song, I know you are furious, but calm down first. There are still many people outside."
Ji Qingwu had another guess in her mind. After Su Daiyue calmed down, she let go of her hand.
Su Daiyue was breathing heavily through her nostrils, and her throat was making a hissing sound.
"Not only did he harm my child, but now he even wants me to die."
Ji Qingwu asked her a few more questions before she learned the whole story.
Half a month ago, Su Daiyue heard that a new clinic had opened in Lin'an, which was very famous for its assisted reproduction and childbirth services for women.
The ladies of high standing in the city all loved to go to this clinic, even if they didn't get treatment, they could still maintain their health.
She had only recently been diagnosed with pregnancy, and the pregnancy was still unstable, so she got some medicine from this clinic and took it for several days without any problems.
One night, Song Wei unusually took the initiative to ask to watch the medicine being prepared in the kitchen, and then personally brought it over, gently coaxing her to drink a bowl of the medicine to prevent miscarriage.
Su Daiyue thought that their relationship had finally started to warm up because of the arrival of the child.
But that night, she experienced unbearable pain in her lower abdomen.
Su Daiyue originally wanted to invite Ji Qingwu, but the wet nurse persuaded her that there was a problem with the pregnancy-preserving medicine, and that the young lady of the Ji family could not be trusted.
In the end, she started bleeding and miscarried. Even when they brought in Dr. Huang Zhitang from Qingchuntang, it didn't help.
When Su Daiyue was completely lost, only the wet nurse was busy taking care of her.
The child's father, Song Wei, had long since disappeared. When Su Daiyue questioned the wet nurse, she hesitated and refused to speak, forcing the wet nurse to break down again before finally revealing the truth...
That night was not only the painful day she lost her child, but also the anniversary of Song Wei's early death as a mistress.
He spent the whole night at the mountain graves in the suburbs, keeping the mother and child company.
Su Daiyue's eyes were dry, and even shedding tears was a luxury. She had cried all her tears in the past few days, and her pupils looked like they were about to burst.
After hearing all this, Ji Qingwu's gaze shifted, and he felt even more puzzled.
"Why don't you speak to Lord Su? He is your father and will surely stand up for you."
"There's nothing much to say..."
Su Daiyue placed the satin children's shoes on her lap and stroked them repeatedly.
“Song Wei and I never had any feelings for each other. Back then, I didn’t want to marry him, and he didn’t want to marry me either. We were forced together. Now we’ve become enemies, so it’s better to end it here.”
Ji Qingwu had a gut feeling that she wasn't telling the truth.
Because there was hatred in Su Daiyue's eyes.
Su Fengyue is the current prime minister. If he knew that his daughter had been poisoned and lost her child, he would definitely have a way to punish Song Wei.
It's unclear what happened that made Su Daiyue endure poisoning her husband, even knowing he had killed her son, and even her own life.
But besides this, there are other strange and rare places.
Ji Qingwu pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you noticed anything unusual about your servants lately, Madam?"
Su Daiyue forced a smile from her cracked lips and said sarcastically, "There are too many problems. Apart from the wet nurse and maids who came with me as part of my dowry, I can't command any of the other servants at all now."
Ji Qingwu looked at the medicine bowl and said, "Those you can order around aren't necessarily sincere to you."
Su Daiyue said, "No, those maids are all ones I brought from the Su residence. They will not betray me, much less my father."
As she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, her throat bobbing as if recalling a scene, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes.
Ji Qingwu frowned. What was the secret that Su Daiyue kept hidden in her heart?
She wasn't even afraid of death, so what else could she be afraid of? What couldn't she say? Perhaps it was a lack of trust in her; otherwise, Ji Qingwu couldn't find a better reason.
Su Daiyue had no one she could trust, so Ji Qingwu told her what he had discovered.
"I'm not talking about those maids, but your wet nurse."
Upon hearing that Ma Pozi had betrayed her, Su Daiyue reacted strongly, shaking her head and saying, "That's impossible!"
She recounted the warm memories buried deep in her heart.
“My birth mother was in poor health, and it was Granny Ma who took care of me as I grew up. When I was young and had a fever, her daughter was hit by a passing carriage, and she did not take care of her. In the end, she was left with sequelae and was a little lame. Granny Ma did her best for me.”
A wet nurse who cherishes her like this, treating her more like her own daughter, will not betray her.
Su Daiyue firmly believed this.
Ji Qingwu herself has a daughter, and mothers who don't love their own children are rare. A dark light appeared in her eyes.
Through the window, she could see the old woman pacing back and forth at the door, holding hands. Even though she couldn't see her expression clearly, she could tell from her demeanor that the woman was anxious.
Su Daiyue also looked out the window.
He said, "The wet nurse caused trouble at the Wei family because she was worried about me. Don't blame her. I know the poisoning has nothing to do with you. I will explain this to my father in private and clear your name."
Ji Qingwu said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't need anyone else to prove my innocence." She just wanted those who wanted to slander her to pay an equal price.
She turned her gaze back to the kang table in front of her and picked up the porcelain bowl with gold-rimmed floral patterns.
“On my way to the hospital, I saw many vines climbing on the wooden frame. Among them were dark red leaves, which are the leaves of Hemp. When combined with the medicine you took, they become poison. This is the real reason that caused your miscarriage.”
Su Daiyue's health was deteriorating, and she had long suspected that she was poisoned. Today, Ji Qingwu tested her with silver needles and found out the reason behind it.
She lowered her head and said, "Madam Wei, thank you anyway."
Ji Qingwu said, "It's too early to thank me now."
She pulled the other person's wrist and placed it on the kang table, then took her pulse. Su Daiyue was like a walking corpse, letting her pull and tug at her.
"Stop looking, Madam Wei. I know my own body."
Su Daiyue's body was already weak after her miscarriage, and this poison was one that destroyed a person's foundation. It had already begun to decay from the inside out, and the toxins had invaded her internal organs.
Ji Qingwu withdrew his hand, picked up a handkerchief to wash his hands, and said, "Madam Song, you just said that the wet nurse has a daughter?"
Su Daiyue thought she was going to say that she was going to die soon, but she was unexpectedly asked about it.
She replied, "Yes, my wet nurse has a daughter who is a few months older than me." She added, "Please stop calling me Mrs. Song. I don't want to have anything to do with the Song family anymore."
Ji Qingwu nodded and said, "You shouldn't call me Madam Wei anymore."
