Chapter 257 If someone is guilty, then they are guilty.
If Lu Qingqing and the others hadn't caught the child in time, the two old folks would have thrown him out.
"What is this thing? What is this thing?!" Li Maosheng shouted in disbelief.
"This is your son! Look how much he looks like you," Lu Qingqing said.
"Nonsense! This isn't my son! This is a monster!"
"This is your son. Whose seed is it if not yours? Even if it's a monster, it's because your seed is the problem!"
The two old men stared at Lu Qingqing, their fear fading and replaced by a sinister look.
They looked at the sixth concubine on the bed.
"This is not my child... absolutely not! I have eight daughters, all of whom are healthy."
“Yes!” said Mrs. Li.
"This must be the bastard child born from Chunyan's infidelity. I've met her lover; his name is Zhao Changhe!"
Holy shit!
This Granny Li is like a scorpion carrying a wasp, adding poison to poison!
Not only should they punish the person, but they should also label them as an adulteress and ensure they suffer a terrible death!
Lu Qingqing, Qiaoxiu, and the midwife Hong looked at the two of them as if they were animals.
Unable to move on the bed, Chunyan's eyes widened and bulged, looking ferocious and terrifying, as if she wanted to devour the two of them.
"Nonsense...nonsense..."
"Don't get agitated!" Lu Qingqing warned her.
Then I asked the two old men, "What are you planning to do?"
"What else can we do? Of course, we have to make those adulterers pay the price!"
If you make me wear a green hat, I'll make that Zhao Changhe pay me back and lose all his land; he'll regret it!
As for that lowly maid Chunyan, she too shall be paraded through the streets as a warning. And this monster, men, bring him a cage!
That old bastard Li Maosheng actually had to resort to this trick too.
Midwife Hong stepped back while holding the child.
Lu Qingqing and Qiaoxiu stood side by side in front of the bed, their arms crossed over their chests.
"You probably can't do whatever you want anymore."
"What are you going to do? Oh, I understand, madam. Give them three more taels of silver, one tael each, as a way to ward off bad luck for these three midwives."
"Bah! Three taels of silver? Keep it for your own coffin!" Qiaoxiu cursed.
"You brat, what did you say? You're still complaining that one tael each isn't enough? Don't forget we've already given you five taels. How many babies do you deliver to earn one tael? Don't be so ungrateful!"
"I know your head!"
Qiaoxiu kicked Li Maosheng, knocking him to the ground.
They're really useless.
Granny Li was so angry that she jumped up and down and shouted for help.
Two servants entered, but before they could even move, they staggered and lay down.
Grandma Li also collapsed to the ground, her body limp and powerless.
Qiaoxiu spat and kicked her, rolling her to the side of the servants and piling her up in a heap.
"I've already told you my master is a doctor, and you still dare to look down on him. Even if hundreds of people come, it's just a matter of my master snapping his fingers!"
Master is so amazing!
Hong the midwife's eyes gleamed with even greater adoration.
I have no idea when she put the medicine in; I only know that I just slipped a pill into her mouth and made her swallow it.
That must be the antidote.
Lu Qingqing remained expressionless, her gaze unfathomable.
Granny Li's eyes showed fear.
"Doctor, my family's affairs have nothing to do with you. If you think the money is too little, we can add more. How about two taels each?"
That's hilarious, just add an ounce or two.
Lu Qingqing ignored her.
Li Maosheng was furious. "Do you want to extort even more? Let me tell you, no way!"
You broke into my house and committed violence; I'm going to sue you!
Let me tell you, I have connections in the county government!
I don't care if you're a healer or a doctor!
These two old folks are a perfect match.
She was implying that she also had connections in the county government, and they were top-tier officials.
Lu Qingqing ignored the two of them and checked and treated Chunyan again until she was sure there was nothing missing.
Midwife Hong watched as Chunyan writhed in pain, sweating profusely, yet she had truly survived.
In his heart, he already regarded Lu Qingqing as a god.
Fortunately, although she thought Lu Qing was young, the things he talked about were unheard of, as if they opened up another world for her, so she made a decisive decision to become his disciple!
Those midwives who didn't learn about obstetrics and gynecology back then regret it now and want to find a master to teach them, but unfortunately, their masters are too busy and don't have time!
Once the opportunity is missed, it will never come again!
After a while, Aunt Li returned with several people.
They are Chunyan's family.
Father and three younger brothers.
Seeing the state of the Li family, those who initially didn't quite believe Aunt Li now believed her.
They always thought their daughter was living a good life at home, eating well and having a much better life than before. They never expected that she would be harmed!
"Big Ox, Second Ox, Third Ox, carry your sister home! They poisoned my daughter so they could have a son! I'm going to the authorities to file a complaint!"
"You lowly commoner, you dare to sue me? Your daughter clearly had an affair with that Zhao Changhe and gave birth to a freak. I'm going to deal with you all!" Li Maosheng cursed.
"You're talking nonsense! Zhao Changhe is already married! If it weren't for you..."
"Alright, stop arguing with him!" Lu Qingqing interrupted Chunyan's father.
"Go to the yamen and report the case. Madam Li poisoned your daughter to make her give birth to a son, resulting in the birth of a freak. This child is the evidence! I'll go with you!"
Lu Qingqing is not Chunyan's family, so she cannot report the case.
Only after Chunyan's father speaks out can she appear as a witness.
Lu Qingqing took the child and went to the yamen with Chunyan's father.
With Qiaoxiu's help and direction, Chunyan's three younger brothers were carried back home.
At this point, Li Maosheng and his wife still found these people ridiculous.
A concubine dared to return to her parents' home without his permission.
A female doctor actually meddled in other people's business and even treated a fertility potion as poison.
It's clear he doesn't have much ability at all; he's just fooling people!
It was clearly that slut Chunyan who had a physical problem, which is why she gave birth to a freak.
Just wait, he's going to sue all of them!
Finally, when she was able to move again, the servant whom Granny Li had sent to find the fertility healer also returned.
The person has not been found.
The woman who was supposed to grant children disappeared two weeks ago.
According to the neighbors, the house had only been rented for six months, and the old lady handed over the keys and left as soon as the lease expired.
Nobody knows where she went; quite a few people are looking for her now!
"What happened? Where did she go?"
Grandma Li was puzzled.
"So many people go to her asking for a child, doesn't she want to make money anymore?"
Before she could think any further, officials from the yamen arrived.
Once the shackles were put on, the two old men were handcuffed.
"No, officer, I didn't do anything wrong, someone else did! Why are you handcuffing me?"
"You know Bai Liang from the constables, right? He's my cousin, we're family."
"Why can't you talk to me? You didn't even understand before you started tying my hand. Don't you know the rules?!"
The constable slapped him across the face.
It's so noisy!
"Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me manners!"
joke!
If Miss Lu says I'm guilty, then I must be guilty!
If not him, who should we arrest?
