Chapter 129 "You poisonous woman!"
"Sheng Huai'an!" Liu Rumei shouted sharply, "Are you crazy!"
"Yes, I've gone mad! You drove me mad, and now I'm a complete lunatic!" Sheng Huai'an sneered, walked up to Liu Rumei, and looked down at her.
The woman before him was delicate and pale, with an elegant appearance and a strong scholarly air that made her seem otherworldly.
However, the more infatuated he was with her before, the more he now hated her!
He had no idea that a venomous snake was lurking right next to him!
A man-eating venomous snake!
"Liu Rumei!" For the first time, he didn't call her sister-in-law, but addressed her by her name directly, and asked with a stern face, "You were the one who drugged Sheng Yunche back then, weren't you? And now you've drugged my mother, weren't you?!"
"You wicked woman! Not only did you get me kicked out of the Duke of Wei's mansion, you almost prevented me from participating in next year's imperial examination!"
"I've studied hard for so many years, and you want to waste three years of my life with just a flick of your wrist? Where do you get the nerve?"
"That's not all! You told me you were pregnant with my child before, that was just you lying to me, wasn't it?"
"The doctor already told me, you poisonous woman, you're a fraud!"
"Wait!" Liu Rumei interrupted him, asking incredulously, "When did I lie to you about the child?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of the poison in her hand.
One of them was designed to induce symptoms of a false pregnancy, which she used to harm Jia.
...Is it Jia's revenge? It's her!
"You're not lying to me, are you really carrying my child?" Sheng Huai'an roared angrily, slamming his hand on her stomach. "You don't have my child at all. You just took some kind of fake pregnancy drug to fool me!"
Liu Rumei took a step back, wary of him, afraid that he would go crazy again.
Sheng Huai'an sneered: "You're trying to coax me, but I want that child!"
"For you, even though I know I can find a better marriage after next year's imperial examination, I don't care! I just want to marry a 'Buddha' as soon as possible so that the children you give birth to can be registered in her name."
"But what about you?"
"You lied to me, using a child that doesn't exist to manipulate me!"
"I couldn't find a suitable marriage partner, so I had no choice but to give you abortion pills. But do you know how much pain I was in at that time?"
"But you don't understand me at all, you just pretend to be weak! You even faked being sick, saying you were bleeding non-stop, trying to scare me with how much I care about you!"
"I even felt indebted to you, but I never imagined you weren't worth it at all. You're just a liar!"
"..."
Sheng Huai'an flew into a rage, his usually refined and handsome face contorted with rage.
But Liu Rumei's emotions suddenly calmed down.
She steadied herself and felt her blood gradually cool down, until she could calmly analyze the reason for Sheng Huai'an's anger at this moment.
Why?
It was all for his own sake.
He felt deceived and was terrified that his future had almost been ruined by her for three years... Not to mention caring about his sister-in-law, he had never even considered that she might poison Jia Shi and cause her death!
All his anger was for himself...
Such a cold-hearted person, it's fortunate that she only ever used him and didn't have much genuine affection for him.
After adjusting her mindset, Liu Rumei softened her attitude.
"Huai'an, don't you know why I'm like this?" She said, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, clutching her chest. "I just care about you too much, and I'm too scared."
She poured out her grievances and admitted that she had acted foolishly because she cared about him too much.
This time, however, it concerned his own vital interests, and Sheng Huai'an was not so easily appeased.
After Liu Rumei tried to coax him for a long time, he just looked at her intently and said, "From now on, you'd better behave yourself and not challenge my bottom line again."
"And give me the antidote!"
“I won’t force you to do anything if you don’t get along with your mother, but you can’t be so vicious as to think about killing her!”
Liu Rumei endured the pain and maintained her delicate demeanor as she retrieved the antidote from the chest and handed it to him.
Sheng Huai'an gave her one last look, took the antidote, and left in a huff.
As soon as he left, Jinzhu approached Liu Rumei, her voice full of reproach, even forgetting to be respectful: "Madam, how could you... how could you poison Madam?"
"If the madam dies, won't that delay the second master's imperial examination?"
"No wonder Second Master is so angry! If it weren't for his past relationship with us, he might not only have ignored us, but he might have even killed us!"
While Jinzhu was speaking, Yinzhu wished she could be invisible.
But seeing Liu Rumei's pale face and unsteady appearance, he couldn't bear it in the end, so he silently poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her.
Liu Rumei glanced at Jinzhu, then looked at Yinzhu, and said "Thank you" to the silent Yinzhu.
Her heart turned completely cold, and she lost all hope in Sheng Huai'an.
It's time to think about what comes next.
...
Sheng Huai'an rushed straight from the study to Qinghui Garden without taking the secret passage. When he lost his temper, his voice was deafening, and he did not try to hide it from the servants in the mansion.
He didn't know how to keep it a secret, and news of his affair with Liu Rumei quickly spread.
The ancestors of Tingsongju also found out.
"You're saying Huai'an and Liu Rumei have an affair?" The old ancestor couldn't believe it.
The old nanny beside her replied, "Yes, all the servants in Qinghui Garden heard it. Once word gets out, everyone in the mansion probably knows."
The old ancestor's face turned pale suddenly, and he almost fainted from anger.
She never expected that Sheng Huai'an, whom she thought would succeed in the imperial examinations, would turn out to be such a shameless and immoral scoundrel!
How could this be an incestuous relationship between an uncle and his sister-in-law?!
This is an absolutely shameful thing!
The three chastity memorial arches in front of the Duke of Wei's mansion were hard-won, and they are all going to be tarnished by this scandal!
The old ancestor composed himself and said with a stern face, "Have someone go to the study and call Sheng Huai'an over. Tell him I want to ask him some questions."
The nanny did as she was told and made the arrangements.
However, the servants sent by the ancestor did not see Sheng Huai'an.
The old nanny reported to the matriarch: "The servants said that after the second master entered the study, he locked the door, saying that he was going to bury himself in his studies and would no longer concern himself with outside affairs."
The ancestor said, "Go and call him again!"
But no matter how many times he sent someone to see him, Sheng Huai'an refused to come out each time.
After much deliberation, the ancestor finally let go of it.
She's too old to talk about this shameful thing openly; she finds it disgusting and doesn't want to get involved.
There was no response from Jia's side, which meant she had known about it for a long time. If even her own mother didn't care, what was the point of her grandmother interfering?
Furthermore...
Sheng Huai'an and Liu Rumei have now fallen out.
If Sheng Huai'an passes the imperial examination next spring, and marries a beautiful and intelligent wife, he should be able to settle down and no longer get involved with his sister-in-law.
After analyzing the pros and cons, the ancestor decided to wait and see.
As the day passed, Sheng Huai'an remained engrossed in his studies, never leaving his study. Even his three meals a day were brought in by Yu Shu, which reassured the old ancestor considerably.
She was also afraid that if she came to accompany Sheng Huai'an in his studies, she would end up raising a useless person.
He's also a good-for-nothing who had an affair with his sister-in-law.
She said to the old woman beside her, "Young people always make mistakes. As long as they admit their mistakes and correct them, a romantic entanglement is not a big deal. However, we need to keep a close eye on him in the future and not let Liu get involved with him again."
The old woman replied, "What the old lady says is true."
The old matriarch sighed: "Many servants have heard about this. You should handle it and clean up the mess for him. If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to our Duke of Wei's mansion."
The master and servant were talking.
Suddenly, a maidservant rushed in from the doorway and reported in a panic: "Grandmother, the Princess has arrived. She's with quite a few people, and it seems... it seems like she's up to no good."
