"How can that be enough? How did she harm me and my son? Didn't you hear it even though you were dead?"
"You're so bold!"
"I was very brave. If I hadn't been braver, we would have been both dead and buried in that thin coffin you put away.
You want to protect the one you love, the child in Black Heart Lotus' belly, but do you know why there has been no child in the mansion for all these years? It's because you have a disease that makes it difficult for men to have children."
Su Chen's face exploded
"You're talking nonsense!"
The servants, forced to listen to the quarrel between their two masters, were trembling with fear, wishing they didn't exist. God, will they survive this night?
The smart ones outside had already quietly retreated and called more people, and went to find the housekeeper and guards, hoping to drag more people into the water to save their lives.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it in your heart. I secretly spent a lot of effort to find someone to inquire about the method, and then I spent a lot of money to obtain rare medicine and secretly blended it for you. The soup that I often sent you to the main courtyard was stewed with rare treasures.
Plus, it took me over a year to finally get pregnant. Do you know how much the herbs alone cost? Two hundred thousand taels of silver!
Humph, Rong's didn't take care of you, and they didn't have the money to use that rare treasure to make soup for you when you came over. So how did she get pregnant? Don't say that I took care of your body and gave her a good deal.
It's completely useless to only take care of you without the cooperation of a woman. Otherwise, why are the other concubines not pregnant? Oh! Think about it carefully, Lord!"
Su Chen just couldn't breathe properly
"You vicious woman, you're so vindictive that you're throwing dirty water on me and the Rong family. If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to a son today, you would definitely be punished by the family rules."
Although he said this, he felt very uneasy. Even though he didn't explain his condition clearly, he knew it almost exactly. It was not easy to ask the imperial physician or the doctor for a diagnosis, but he was not stupid, and the court doctor seemed to have hinted at it to him.
The concubine before the marriage could be said to be trying to prevent Bai from giving birth to a bastard child before the marriage. In the five years since the marriage, there has been no shortage of wives and concubines, and she has made a lot of efforts. Especially at the beginning, Bai was not pregnant, and she was really scolded by many old ladies for this.
He gave him four concubines in succession, but none of them became pregnant. In the delusion of getting pregnant with the Marquis's child as early as possible, they took medicine indiscriminately, and two of them died due to internal fighting. Bai also gave him two concubines, but one of them was beaten to death by Rong after she found fault with him.
So far, only Bai and Rong have been pregnant. According to Bai, she got pregnant by consulting doctors and spending a lot of money on medicinal herbs. This is easy to find out.
As for Rong's, he didn't dare to think about it, and he could never admit that it wasn't his. His body was fine, and the child Rong was pregnant with was his, it had to be!
Bai Zhiyue looked at his changing expression and felt relieved. The original owner had indeed secretly treated Su Chen, but it was possible that Rong's pregnancy was fake or with someone else. This was all her guess, just to plant a seed of doubt in Changping Hou's heart.
He could let go of the crime of harming his offspring, but what about the crime of adultery and confusing his offspring? A man, especially a childless man, would not value a dispensable woman the most.
"Are you so angry because the truth was revealed? Humph, are you trying to take this opportunity to kill me again? If you have the guts, kill everyone in the house!"
Bai Zhiyue had already heard more people coming outside, so she shouted out loudly.
"You are truly cruel and vicious in your revenge against me."
"No match for the Marquis and Rong Heilian!"
Su Chengang also heard the noise outside, and he knew it was the guards' footsteps as soon as he heard them.
The housekeeper Su Mingzhong also came with him. When he heard the angry voice of the Marquis in the room, he immediately said
"My Lord, I will come to protect you!"
He not only brought guards, but also a lot of servants. If anything happened, no one could leave the yard at his command, including the marquis's wife.
Su Mingzhong's three generations had been stewards of the mansion, and being given the master's surname was a great honor for them. They had always been loyal to the mansion. He had arranged for the Marquis's ideas to be implemented, so he naturally knew the Marquis's plans.
He had heard from the people who had come to look for him that the Marquis's wife had changed since she came back to life, that she was ruthless and showed no respect to the Marquis. He had thought that if necessary, he would have the maids rush over to restrain the Marquis, use her hidden weapon, and let the Marquis decide whether she lived or died.
"Wait outside and don't come in!"
Su Chengang was very angry. He originally wanted to go back and bring some people to do something unexpected, shut up the servants in the main courtyard and beat them to death with sticks, and then say that they failed to protect their master or conspired to murder the master of the Marquis' Mansion. This way, he could clear himself and the Rong family, and keep the truth within the main courtyard and not let it spread out.
As a result, so many people were called over, and Bai even deliberately shouted out words like silencing them. What should he do? Could it be that he really killed all the servants?
The most infuriating thing is that there are guards. Most of them are ordinary civilians with good records and cannot be killed at will.
He looked at Bai Zhiyue hatefully
"Is this your purpose?"
"Oh, as long as it's useful!"
"Hmph! Don't think this will save your life!"
"At least you can't touch me now!"
It is true that nothing can be done. The news has just been passed on that someone has come back to life, and the good news has been announced. If we change it again, all the nobles in the capital will laugh to death.
"Then we'll wait and see."
He didn't believe that a woman in the backyard could have much ability. After this period of time, it would be easy to kill her.
"Well, wait and see!"
Humph, in a few days I will start to deal with them one by one, and then we will see who survives and who dies.
Bai Zhiyue wasn't one to bend over backwards. Even thirty years of hardship in the lab hadn't softened her, let alone someone like her. She was tough, and as long as she had a little time to recover, she wouldn't be afraid anymore.
She had no intention of getting along with the people in this mansion.
"Su Mingzhong sent someone to keep an eye on the courtyard for me. The Marquis' wife needs to rest and recuperate, so she's not allowed to go in or out.
Guards, listen up! Arrange for people to stand guard outside the courtyard day and night. Don't let a single fly escape without my order."
"Don't worry, my lord. Madam is ill. I will arrange for sensible maids to serve her here so that she can rest well."
"yes!"
This is to put her under house arrest in the courtyard, and even give her a false pretense of being ill. Ha! They want to trap her to death step by step, and as long as those people recover a little, no one can stop her.
"Take the young master away!"
At this time, more than ten old women rushed in and wanted to snatch the child away.
"Let's see who dares!"
Bai Zhiyue pulled out a gun from her sleeve and shot at the two women rushing in front, killing them both with one shot.
Seeing the two men fall to the ground with blood gushing out, everyone stopped.
"Dare to take another step forward, and this will be the consequence."
"Bai, how dare you disobey the Marquis's order!"
Butler Su Mingzhong never thought that Bai Zhiyue would dare to really take action. He just thought that those people were killed to protect themselves. Now he has really seen it.
"Don't forget the Bai family behind you. Whether they live or die, prosper or fail, depends on the Marquis's words!"
It's a pity that the Bai family has no face for her.
"Whether the Bai family lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I am the Marquis' wife. If the Marquis doesn't want filial piety, then go and destroy the Bai family. They don't care about my life or death anyway."
Butler Su glanced at the Marquis. Madam Bai was adamant.
