He was happy that his son was doing well. Before he knew that Bai was not dead, he didn't think of sending someone to change the story. Only when he saw his living son did he remember that this was a great event for the Marquis' Mansion and he had to announce the good news.
"Don't forget to tell the old lady the good news!"
Someone outside heard the order and ran to find the housekeeper.
Su Chengang asked again, "Where are those maids? Why didn't they show up and report such a big thing?"
"They-they all died in the delivery room!"
"Dead! Who is so bold as to commit murder in the Marquis' Mansion in broad daylight?"
Hearing that several people had died, he felt relieved. Without any witnesses, even if the Bai family knew something, what could they do? The Bai family would not go against him for her, nor would they make decisions for her. As long as he denied it, everything would be in vain.
"Lead the way, I want to check it myself!"
I'm worried whether he is really dead or not, so I have to go and see it with my own eyes.
When he opened the door of the delivery room, he saw six people lying on the ground. He checked them one by one. Four of them had holes on their heads and blood was all over the floor. Two of them had broken cervical vertebrae and were indeed dead.
When did Bai Shi learn martial arts? She could break a person's neck. Those holes between her eyebrows looked like they were caused by hidden weapons. How could she have such hidden weapons? If she were to use them against him...
"Is it really the Madam who did it?"
"I didn't see it myself, but no one else came into the yard. There was always someone guarding outside. Ma Liu knew when Nanny Li came back. He went into the house and never came out again."
Qingyu felt that she was unlucky to be assigned such a task by the lady. If she was not careful, the Marquis would have to execute her first.
"Ma Liu, tell me!"
"My Lord, after I put down the coffin, Matron Li sent me out. She told me to wait for the Madam... and then come back to carry it after the coffin was in. Before she left, I heard Matron muttering why no one came out after she came back. I guess something had happened in the room by then.
The lady came calling for help from behind, and the servants thought everything was ready, so they asked us to carry the coffin. The people who were with us heard it, but they didn't think it was the lady at the time. Only after entering the room did they realize that the lady was alive.
At that time, no maids or nannies came out. Madam ordered me to find someone to serve, and asked me to find a nanmu coffin. The young master must not have been alive at that time, otherwise she would not have asked me to find a coffin. Then I went to find the marquis to report.
"It was indeed Ma Liu who called us back to serve him. The servants were all waiting at the residence. It was he who called us back.
When we arrived, the young master was still motionless. Madam asked us to boil some hot water for cleaning, and also asked us to find all the items prepared for the young master, probably to keep him company...
After a while, they heard the sound of a baby crying in the house, and then the lady asked someone to bring water quickly. After entering, everyone found that so many people had died in the house.
Madam told us at the time that several people had done something wrong and were plotting to murder Madam and Young Master, and that she desperately tried to take them down with her and killed them with the hidden weapon in her hand."
Marquis Changping had a general idea of how things had unfolded, but whether Bai Zhiyue was the one who killed the people remained to be verified. How could a merchant woman like her kill six people in a row when she was half dead? Even if she had hidden weapons, what about the two people with broken cervical vertebrae?
Could it be that someone is secretly helping? Could it really be the Bai family? They want someone of Bai family blood to inherit the Marquisate so that they can continue to manage things for them?
"Is this child really the son who died?"
Since someone could help, was it possible to replace my son? The joy of having a son disappeared immediately at the thought. Seeing that the people who gave birth to the child were all dead, there was no one to prove it.
After the inspection, he returned to the main room in a rage.
"Did you really kill them?"
Bai Zhiyue wiped the blood off the dagger with a handkerchief and said nonchalantly
"Of course I killed her. The two midwives deliberately used despicable means to make me bleed profusely during childbirth, intending to murder me. Rong specially sent Li Ma to supervise me, so that she could watch me being tortured with her own eyes and make my death extremely painful.
Nanny Li made it very clear at the time that she must make this lady suffer extreme pain, and then let me bleed to death bit by bit. She also had the midwife force the already-born child back into my stomach, just to suffocate him and prevent him from blocking Rong's way.
From the beginning to the end, no one brought me water or food, let alone a doctor. What kind of difficult labor is this? It must have been deliberately created! Ha, it's nothing more than a way to make my death famous so that you won't be criticized.
Before they died, they all confessed that the midwives were following the orders of the Marquis, but they were very bold and also accepted money from Rong. We should have found some silver notes on them, but each of them had one hundred taels.
The wet nurse said that her family had been captured by the Rong family. If they didn't do as she said, the Rong family would sell her son to the mine and her grandson to the Chu House, and she would never be able to find them again in her lifetime.
The two big maids were threatened by you and Rong to watch me die, and they also wanted to steal the ornaments on my body. It would be inadequate to appease the hatred if they were not executed.
But Rong is much more ruthless than you, Marquis of Changping! Ha!"
Bai Zhiyue knew that even if she revealed that Su Chen had just attempted to murder her, it would be useless because the witness was already dead. However, she deliberately said it so that the servants could hear it, and it would be best if it could be spread as soon as possible.
The servants are not stupid. They will not keep silent about such things to save their lives. It is useless to offer loyalty. Only the dead can keep the secret. It is best if everyone knows it to save their lives. If he has the courage, he will kill everyone, but it is not so easy to kill her.
This was a decision Bai Zhiyue made when she had no one to use. Either Su Chengang had killed all the servants in the mansion to save his reputation, or she could just choose someone else to enter the mansion and train her own staff.
If she is not killed, she must have an explanation to herself, at least to give her a chance to catch her breath. With her current physical condition, she has no chance of winning against the entire Marquis' Mansion alone, so she has to take it step by step.
As for Rong's Su Chengang, he would not punish her at all. Now she is pregnant, and the punishment would not be severe. She will forget about it soon.
At most, she could push the blame for what she did onto her servants, and besides, these people were all dead.
Bai Zhiyue didn't want to use Su Chengang's hand to get rid of that black-hearted lotus. She had to take revenge on her own.
Marquis Changping was shocked when he heard what she said. It turned out that Rong wanted to get rid of his only son. It had been five years since he got married. He had many wives and concubines in the mansion, not counting those who had died, but he still had no children.
He had waited so long for a son, but he almost killed his concubine, who was his favorite concubine. He wanted to promote the Rong family, but he also didn't want to have too few offspring, which would be bad for the marquis's mansion.
Rong family, ah Rong family, you can touch anyone, but you can't touch my son. But he wouldn't say this to Bai Zhiyue, because he didn't want to slap himself in the face.
