Li Xusheng suddenly stopped.

The next moment, he slowly turned around and fixed his eyes on Madam Zuo.

She just stood there at a loss, stroking her belly with her left hand and stretching out her right hand as if trying to keep him.

"What did you say?"

Li Xusheng's voice trembled slightly.

Mrs. Zuo walked a few steps towards him, took his rough hand and pressed it on her belly which was just beginning to show.

Li Xusheng couldn't describe his feelings at this moment.

He despised and hated himself so much.

Because when he heard it just now, the first thing that surged in his heart was great joy.

In order to punish himself and her, he deliberately said the most vicious words.

"How do I know if this child is mine? Who knows if you were having sex with me while you were having sex with Zuo Heying—"

Snap——

There was a loud slap.

Madam Zuo's face flushed red, and she looked at Li Xusheng who turned his head away with despair, her whole body shaking violently.

"You...how can you say such things! You are forcing me to die!"

"Okay, Li Xusheng, I don't want to live anyway, so I might as well die in front of you today. One body and two lives, just consider it as paying back the injustice I committed in the past!"

Mrs. Zuo said this and walked towards the window, but as soon as she turned around, Li Xusheng hugged her from behind.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Mrs. Zuo's low sobs were heard.

————

Zuo An Ning leaned against the wall and slowly fell to the ground.

She raised her head and stared blankly at the closed window, her eyes empty and lifeless.

Nanny Zhu was truly horrified. She was shaking all over and wanted to help Zuo An Ning up, but she lost her strength first.

Oh my God, the lady not only had an affair with a man outside her family, but she was also pregnant. How should the Duke and the young lady cope with this?

If this gets out, not to mention how the Duke's Mansion will be laughed at, the young lady's life will be ruined!

Nanny Zhu thought a lot and had no idea what to do.

She only knew that this matter must be made known to the Duke and let the Duke make the decision!

Thinking of this, Nanny Zhu slowly gathered up a little strength and stood up to help Zuo An Ning.

She was really scared, afraid that some unbearable noise would come from next door.

Miss, you really can’t be stimulated anymore!

"Miss, let's go!"

Nanny Zhu's face was extremely heavy, and she was so shocked that she forgot to cover up her voice for a moment.

After she realized what was happening, she suddenly covered her mouth and listened carefully for a while. When she heard no movement next door, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, her voice was very soft just now.

Zuo An Ning stood up with the help of Nanny Zhu. She looked numb and did not struggle at all.

Nanny Zhu opened the door very quietly, but just as she was about to stick her head out to take a look, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her neck!

“Hmm!”

Madam Zhu was suddenly unable to utter a single sound and could only stare at the person who came with her eyes wide open in horror.

He was handsome, but at this moment his face was full of murderous intent and his eyes were vicious, as if he wanted to swallow her!

"Mmmmm!"

Nanny Zhu knew that she had no hope of escape, so she could only wave her hands desperately behind her, signaling Zuo An Ning to run quickly.

But the only exit had been blocked by Li Xusheng, and Zuo Anning had nowhere to go.

Li Xusheng raised his eyes coldly, and when he saw Zuo Anning's face clearly, he was also stunned.

Having just heard Nanny Zhu's voice, he was worried that his affair with Li Niang would be exposed, so he decided to come and kill her to silence her.

But he could never have imagined that the person in the room was Li Niang's daughter!

Zuo An Ning saw Nanny Zhu's feet leave the ground, and his face turned pale with fear. He shouted, "Don't kill Nanny Zhu!"

Mrs. Zuo in the private room next door was feeling extremely nervous when she suddenly heard this extremely familiar voice. She was shocked all over and felt indescribable fear in her heart!

The next moment, she ran over hurriedly, peeked over from behind Li Xusheng, and suddenly her hands and feet went weak.

"Ning... Ning'er!"

When Li Xusheng saw Madam Zuo following him, he knew that today's matter would not end well.

He immediately threw Nanny Zhu into the house and pulled Madam Zuo in.

"Madame Zhu!"

Zuo An Ning screamed in panic and hurried over to help Nanny Zhu up.

Nanny Zhu's face turned purple and after being slapped on the back by Zuo An Ning several times, she began to cough violently, one cough more urgent than the other.

The moment Zuo An Ning saw Nanny Zhu recover her breath, she almost cried for joy.

"Ning... Ning'er, why are you here?"

Mrs. Zuo stood there at a loss, looking at Zuo An Ning cautiously.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Zuo An Ning had not heard anything.

Zuo An Ning rubbed his hands which were shaking uncontrollably, the grief and despair in his heart surging up together.

However, after she glanced at Li Xusheng, she realized that she and Nanny Zhu were now fish on the chopping board.

In order to save her life, she had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Mom, Ning'er was really worried about you. I saw you going out alone again, so I hurriedly followed you, but after entering the teahouse, I lost sight of you."

"I waited in this private room for a while, and then realized that I was wasting time, so I decided to go home."

"Who would have thought that as soon as the door opened, this person would attack Madam Zhu viciously!"

As Zuo An Ning spoke, he pointed at Li Xusheng angrily, while his other hand tightly grasped Nanny Zhu's hand behind his back.

Nanny Zhu has recovered, and she can only use this method to remind Nanny Zhu not to let the secret out!

Otherwise, she might be able to survive, but Nanny Zhu would definitely not survive!

When Nanny Zhu saw Zuo An Ning's back as he protected her, her heart began to tremble.

At this moment, she hated Madam Zuo so much. Why did she do such a shameful thing and ruin the young lady's life!

When Mrs. Zuo heard Zuo An Ning's words, she felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't be completely reassured.

She walked forward step by step, smiling and said, "Ning'er, this is mother's distant cousin. You haven't met him yet."

"He was just frightened by Nanny Zhu, so he lost his composure."

"Don't be afraid, Ning'er, it's all a misunderstanding."

Mrs. Zuo said this as she squatted down and gently stroked Zuo An Ning's cheek.

Zuo An Ning couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Her mother's hand used to be the most gentle comfort in the world, but now it seemed so strange and icy cold to her bones.

"Mom, can you please let him go out first? My daughter is scared."

Zuo An Ning forced a smile, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Of course, Ning'er, you are my good daughter, and I will listen to you in everything."

Mrs. Zuo smiled gently, turned around and was about to make a gesture to Li Xusheng.

However, Li Xusheng's brows were gloomy, and he suddenly took a few steps towards Zuo An Ning with a ferocious look.

Zuo An Ning was still able to maintain the last bit of his sanity, but Nanny Zhu was so horrified that she immediately stood up and held Zuo An Ning in her arms with red eyes.

"Go away! No one can touch the young lady! Everyone go away!"

Nanny Zhu was shouting hysterically. Li Xusheng stopped abruptly and suddenly said coldly:

"Li Niang, don't hold out any more hope. It's obvious that they heard it all!"
