Li Shiyin then turned her attention to her daughter. The useless girl had stopped vomiting and was stroking her stomach with her hand. A strange smile appeared on her blood-stained face and she was still muttering to herself.
At this time, the doctor invited by Prefect Zhao arrived and came to the same conclusion after taking the patient's pulse.
Li Shiyin was furious and slapped her unconscious daughter in the face, angrily saying, "Yan'er, what's going on? Whose is it? Is it him? You idiot."
Sun Ziyan laughed instead of crying, "Mom, Brother Xuan said he would marry me as the Third Prince's consort. We already have a baby now, and he will definitely come to save me."
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. They despised the Third Prince for his poor moral character and also hated Sun Ziyan for her lack of etiquette.
What Prefect Zhao wanted was to have this woman in his hands so that he could have more bargaining chips to threaten the third prince.
Li Shiyin was so angry that she wanted to die. She thought to herself, how could she give birth to such a fool? He is arrogant and domineering when nothing happens, but when something happens, he is like a piece of mud that cannot be used to fix the wall. He can't tell the difference between priorities.
This is still a wild idea. If the Third Prince had her in his heart, he would have taken her away long ago. He would not be willing to let her stay here and take risks.
First, he asked them to find a way to infiltrate the Zhennan Army and obtain military intelligence, and then he asked them to find someone and kill him. Would a good man let his beloved do such a thing? Only this fool believed it. Now, he has been completely branded as a traitor.
Li Shiyin cried. This was her only daughter, and her life could not be ruined.
She knelt before Duan Qingyuan through the iron bars and begged, "Yuanyuan, I was the one who gave the order to find and kill people. My death is not a pity.
But my Yanyan knows nothing. She was also abused by the Third Prince. She is also a victim. Please save her. When you were young, you were so kind that you would treat dying kittens and puppies with care. Please show some kindness again."
Mother Gu didn't want to pay attention to someone who was confusing right and wrong. "Does what she said and did sound like a victim? Besides, whether she is a victim or not can only be known after the trial by Prefect Zhao and his men. What did you ask me to do? If you want to plead for mercy, then please do so."
You want to kill my daughter, and I'm pleading for you. Am I such a fool? I can only ask the government to severely punish the person who killed my daughter. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The whole family is busy and has no time to watch you act here."
Li Shiyin saw that Duan Qingyuan was no longer the easy-to-coax girl she used to be, and her face darkened. "You really didn't want to help me? Then don't blame me for exposing your ugly deeds from the past. What do you think you are?"
Gu Xinran walked over, reached her hand through the iron fence, grabbed Li's neck and slapped her. She was such a fool. Not only did she hurt her, but she also dared to threaten her mother. She had wanted to beat her for a long time.
Li was beaten by Gu Xinran so hard that two of her front teeth fell out. After being stunned for a moment, she retreated to a safe place with a ferocious look on her face.
She roared viciously, "Shameless bitch, you're trying to seduce my Jinglang and even rush to get engaged to him.
You should have drowned in the river, or died on the bed of a prostitute in the Drunken Red Mansion, being slept with by thousands of men. I didn't expect you to escape. Haha~ You're really lucky."
Li's obscene words left everyone stunned. Duan Yunchi asked the jailer to open the cell door, grabbed the mad Li, and started beating and kicking her.
Everyone's attention was focused on the prison, and only Gu Xinran noticed that something was wrong with her mother.
Gu Xinran hugged her crumbling mother, her heart broken. This evil woman actually dared to slander her mother like that, and from her words, it could be seen that she was the one who harmed her mother back then.
Very good, this hatred is getting deeper and deeper. I thought to myself, just wait, I will make sure you die a miserable death.
Taking care of her mother for the time being, she quickly took out the spiritual spring water and super-quality ginseng and antler pills and fed them to her mother.
This time, Mother Gu did not get better immediately. Her face became paler and paler, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell down one by one. Slowly, veins on her forehead bulged, and her lips bled from biting them, but she did not utter a sound.
It was obvious that she was suffering from great pain. Gu Xinran picked up her mother and walked towards the prison gate.
At this time, Duan Yunchi had beaten Li into a pile of mud, but Prefect Zhao didn't care, as long as he could keep her breathing. This was really vicious.
Sun Ziyan wanted to step forward to plead for mercy and break up the fight, but was frightened by Duan Yunchi's ferocity and stepped back repeatedly.
After venting his anger, Duan Yunchi realized that something had happened to his aunt. He hurriedly followed Gu Xinran out of the dungeon. Before they left the dungeon, Gu's mother fainted.
Xiaomei and Xiaolan were waiting at the government office gate. They were frightened when they saw this situation. They hurriedly opened the carriage door and helped to accommodate Gu's mother.
Gu Xinran ordered Duan Yunchi to invite Doctor Zhang, while she hurriedly took her mother back home.
As soon as their carriage arrived home, they saw Doctor Zhang waiting at the door of Gu's mansion.
Gu Xinran was wondering, did Duan Yunchi fly over? How could he be invited so quickly?
Not caring about anything else, he asked Mancang to remove the threshold stone, pulled Doctor Zhang onto the carriage, and drove all the way back to the third courtyard.
Gu Xinran personally carried her mother to bed and asked Doctor Zhang to help with the treatment. The problem could not be solved by the Super Ginseng and Deer Antler Pills and Lingquan Water, so she hoped that the Imperial Physician could bring her mother back to health.
Doctor Zhang came today to wish the young master a happy new year, but he didn't expect that coming early would be worse than coming at the right time, as he just happened to be of use.
After a thorough inspection, he stroked his beard and said, "Her pulse is weak, but her heart and lungs are intact, so there's nothing serious. It's just that her emotions are fluctuating too much, and she fainted temporarily. It would be a good idea to let her lie down now. She may still be emotionally unstable after waking up, so I'll prescribe a few doses of tranquilizing soup as a backup."
After saying that, Doctor Zhang wrote out the prescription, handed it to his young apprentice, and asked him to get the medicine.
Gu Xinran felt relieved and said softly, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang."
At this time, all the family members who learned that Gu's mother was ill gathered together.
After visiting, Grandma Gu, Xuanxuan, Tingting and others retreated to the small hall and sat down, not wanting to disturb Mother Gu's rest.
After Gu Xinran arranged for Grandpa Gu to entertain Doctor Zhang in the central hall for tea, he told his family what happened in the prison.
Grandma Gu, who was always good-tempered, became so angry after hearing this that her face darkened, her lips turned blue, her eyes widened like bells, and she was wheezing.
Frightened, Gu Xinran hurriedly took out a bottle of spiritual spring water and asked Grandma Gu to drink it to relieve her gas. She didn't want to have another patient.
Xuanxuan clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Sister, we must not let her go. Eighteen years ago, Mom must have suffered endless hardships. We must help her get justice."
These words were not hidden from Tingting, and Tingting roughly understood that someone had harmed her mother. She raised her little fist and shouted indignantly: "Sister, my kung fu has improved again. Remember to take me with you when you fight bad guys."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let such a vicious woman have a good ending. You just stay here and look after mother. I'll be back soon."
Xuanxuan opened his eyes wide with anger and said hopefully, "Can you take me with you?"
