Doesn't belong to this world, so it can't appear? There's nothing I can do about it. It's nice to have one and keep it with me. It'll be an extra layer of protection if there's an assassination attempt on him in the future.
Besides, this medicine for telling the truth is very useful to him. If he catches some people who are difficult to interrogate or spies from other countries, he can get more information from them, which is extremely beneficial to him.
"Okay, I understand. So what kind of help do you want?"
"The Emperor must be aware of what has happened in the Marquis' Mansion recently. I just want to take over the Marquis' Mansion to win a title for my son and ensure that we live in peace and happiness. I have no other requests."
The emperor knew all of Bai's experiences and saw that what she had done these days was indeed an attempt to take over the Marquis's Mansion.
"This person Su Hou..."
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the Marquis of Changping. This man was really outrageous. He helped people buy official positions and accepted bribes. He was also involved in the private salt trade. He also didn't want to let the Bai family go.
"I will not let Su Chengang go. The Bai family has also done many bad things. The emperor should deal with them as he sees fit. The law of the country is supreme."
Since she knew that the person who was watching her was the emperor's man, she guessed that the emperor should have been keeping an eye on Su Chengang for a long time, and the Bai family was naturally among them, so she helped to get rid of Su Chengang.
"Okay, as long as you don't do anything that harms Daliang, the position of Marquis of Changping will be left to your son."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The mother and son returned home safely. The servants outside were fast asleep and had no idea that the two had gone to the palace and returned.
The next day, before dawn, there were cries of grief from the mansion.
Qinglian Knocks on the Door
"The old lady is gone"
I really didn't survive today.
She had only slept for two hours and was very tired. She didn't want to get up, but she had to save face.
It was already getting cold outside, so she put on her cotton coat. She knew she would have to kneel when guests arrived, which was a bad thing about the ancients: they always had to kneel. She found a pair of kneepads in the space and tied them around her legs to protect her entire knees and calves.
"Qinglian, close the gate and take good care of the young master. Hongying, follow me to the front."
"yes"
"Doudou, let Congcong contact me if there's anything."
"good!"
The mourning tent had already been set up in the front yard, and white cloths were hung everywhere.
Su Chengang had stayed up all night watching over the old lady yesterday. His face was gray and his chin was covered in stubble. He really looked like a filial son and grandson.
He saw that Bai Zhiyue wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth a few times and swallowed it back. His mother's words were still ringing in his ears, so he decided not to provoke the Bai family for the time being.
She was prepared to beat him as hard as she could, to make him hurt, to embarrass him, but in the end she just gave up like that, what a waste.
As the sky gradually brightened, people came to the house to burn incense and worship.
Su Chen just had Rong tied up and brought out. He blocked her mouth and made her kneel in front of the old lady's spirit, pressing her head down and knocking it hard.
His head hit the bluestone slab with a bang, and after a few hits, Rong's head started bleeding.
Rong Wanting kept shaking her head and looked at Su Chengang, wanting to beg for mercy, but at this time Su Chengang only wanted to kill her, so how could he forgive her? She fainted.
"Splash some water on her to wake her up, and keep kneeling."
He doesn't even care about the child. He is doing it for outsiders to see, and for his adulterer in secret to see. He is torturing Rong and the child in her belly, and it depends on whether that person will show up.
Everyone who came knew the reason, but no one felt sorry for her. She was just a careless concubine.
Rong was speechless and was forced to kneel in front of the coffin all day without any food or water.
She cursed Su Chengang and everyone in the Su family in her heart, and was also hoping that someone would come to save her. She didn't want to suffer this and didn't want to be tortured to death.
The Rong family didn't come today, and they had already fallen out, which was a humiliation for themselves, so she could only bear it by herself, and no one could help her.
By the evening, Su Chen was exhausted after a long day and could not hold on any longer. He left his two half-brothers and nephews in the mourning hall while he went to rest for a while.
Rong was also taken back. Because of the severe torment, she was showing signs of premature labor. She couldn't die before the adulterer showed up. Su Chen had just asked the court doctor to prescribe medicine to keep her as stable as possible. Now was not the time for labor.
Rong Wanting's situation was reported by the secret staff
"Jing and you can go there tonight. If all else fails, let her give birth to the baby tonight. Saving the baby is important. You can handle the other person."
"Well, if we continue to make a fuss, the child may be in danger. Su Chengang doesn't want it anymore, so we can't give it up."
The whole mansion was gloomy at night, with only a few white paper lanterns flashing dim light.
A dark and windy night is the perfect time to do shameful things. Rong Jinghe changed into black clothes and covered his face, and with four guards, he quietly sneaked into the mansion.
The staff in the mansion were busy all day and naturally had no energy at night. The person in charge of night watch was yawning and drowsy. Someone sent a few puffs of smoke to him and he fell asleep completely.
It took little effort to charm everyone in the Rong family courtyard.
"You guys stand guard outside the door"
"yes"
Wanting heard the sound and opened the door
"Brother, you are here. If you don't come, I will die."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and I won't let him bully you anymore."
"Take me away quickly. We can't stay here anymore. He will really kill me."
"Don't worry we have all night to think about it."
"What else is there to think about? I really can't stay for a moment."
Seeing that Wanting was very excited, Rong Jinghe hugged her and caressed and coaxed her.
"Don't worry, okay? I'm here to help you."
Wanting calmed down under his comfort, and they lay half on the bed together.
"Brother, what do you think we should do? He doesn't even care about the children now!"
"If it really doesn't work, you can give birth to the child and leave it to him, and I will take you away, okay?"
"But this is your child and mine. Are we really going to leave it to him?"
"Wouldn't it be good to let our child become the Marquis of Changping? I will leave some people to secretly get rid of that child, and our child will be the Marquis's heir. When the child is a little older, Su Chengang will be eliminated. When you come back then, you will be the old lady of the Marquis's mansion."
Wanting was persuaded by his words. In that case, she only needed to give birth to the child now and then hide away for a few years. When she came back, she would be the old lady of the Marquisate. It was very beautiful and it didn't seem difficult. The child was already nine months old, so it was completely possible to give birth now.
"But the court doctor just prescribed me medicine to preserve my pregnancy."
"It's okay. I have the induction kit with me. As long as you agree, it's fine."
“But I’m still scared.”
Rong Wanting pressed against Jinghe with her big belly, her body trembling slightly.
Giving birth is not easy, and she is having a miscarriage and wants to try again. I don’t know what will happen.
Her worries were completely right. Rong Jinghe had no intention of keeping her alive. She would die as soon as the child was born. She would only die of dystocia. Su Chengang would definitely not hate her anymore because of the difficulty she had in giving birth to the child.
Rong Jinghe tried his best to help Wanting give birth safely, and he could do it even though Wanting had a big swelling on her forehead and her face was covered in dirt.
He kept caressing and comforting her, which aroused her emotions.
"Brother~"
"Be good and I'll help you"
Just when the two of them were taking the last step, Su Chen came with a sword in hand.
