It provoked Su Lun that Zhao was to kneel down to Su Jingwen. Even though he didn’t like Zhao and he didn’t treat them as human, she was his original wife and he thought that Su Jingwen looked down on him for bullying her blatantly. Maybe it’s because he had a low birth, he was inferior subconsciously.
“How can you prove that your little sister drowned you intentionally?”
“Daddy, maybe you don’t know I can swim from childhood. I can swim in big rivers, let alone the little lotus pond?”
“Nonsense, you can’t swim at all!” Su Jingwen was anxious when hearing that.
“Daddy, if you don’t believe I can swim, I can prove it.”
Zhao thought this Muge was so strange and she was so different from the before.
Su Lun thought Muge had no reason to lie.
He frowned and turned to Su Jingwen, now he thought she lied.
He knew that An and her daughter always didn’t like Zhao and Muge, but he thought An was magnanimous to support them. They just needed some grain and the Su mansion could be affordable.
“Jingwen, what exactly happened?”
Su Jingwen couldn’t believe that Su Lun who was with a straight face was no suspecting her.
Su Lun loved her best and didn’t care about Su Muge.
But now he questioned her for the lowly Su Muge!
An knew that Su Lun was angry, and said gently, “My lord, maybe they hit each other while playing, so Muge fell into water. They are sisters, no deep hatred, there is no need to be so fierce. Jingwen is wrong in some respects. Wen, go to apologize to your elder sister.”
An walked to Su Jingwen, with a gentle but determined meaning in her eyes.
Even though Su Jingwen was spoiled strongly, she still scared An.
But, it was impossible to apologize to Su Muge!
Seeing that Su Jingwen stood there without any action, Su Lun was sullener.
“Wen, be quick to apologize to your sister!”
“Mom...”
“I don’t need an apology.” Muge released Zhao and walked to Su Jingwen.
“Daddy, I always think of a question that if one does something wrong, how can make him learn a lesson to avoid the same mistake? Just now, I got an answer.”
“How?” Su Lun questioned unconsciously.
“It’s...let her suffer what she does to others. Only by that she can learn a lesson deeply!” Just finishing her sentence, she grabbed Su Jingwen’s neck and pressed her into the washbasin.
“Ah! ...”(Rumble sound)
Su Jingwen’s whole face was pressed into water. In panic, a lot of water was poured into her nose and mouth. A fear of approaching death made her struggle desperately.
Su Muge caught her so tightly that she couldn’t move a little.
All in the room were scared by her sudden action.
An reacted first and said, “Su Muge, what are you doing!” She ran to Muge while she said.
Muge moved her body and avoided her, still pressing Su Jingwen.
A delicate woman who even couldn’t steps steadily had no ability to stop her.
An’s screaming woke up Su Lun. He glared at Muge, and his eyeballs were almost out.
“Su Muge, how dare you, release your sister!”
Muge thought that was enough and loosed her hands.
“Crash.”
“Ah, cough cough...”
Su Jingwen raised her head from water and collapsed on the ground, coughing heavily.
“Wen, Wen, are you OK?”
“Su Muge, how dare you! I can’t believe you dare to kill your little sister in front of me!” Su Lun was furious. But he was more furious for Su Muge not taking him seriously than caring Su Jingwen.
He thought Su Muge was challenging his authority in this mansion.
She really should die!
Muge pretended to be innocent.
“Daddy, you are misunderstanding me. I just want Jingwen to know what’s the feeling of drowning and know my suffering when I fell into water and almost drowned to death. Only she goes through that can she understand and never makes that mistakes, right?”
“You, you are chopping the logic!”Su Lun pointed at Su Muge with a shivering hand, and his eyes were fierce, as if he would eat her.“You don’t care about whether I was pushed by Su Jingwen into water and almost died. You only care about her. She just takes a little punishment, and your heart, liver, spleen and lung all ache, right? So that is what it is, I’m lower than a servant in your heart!”He did!An was to cry out when she saw Su Jingwen almost choked to faint.They were all astonished that Muge became so eloquent after dying one time.“You, how could it possible that I do not to care whether you live or die!” Even thought he was, he couldn’t speak out.Some fellow official accused him behind his back when he abandoned Zhao and married An. If they knew he didn’t care about the life of his original wife and truth-born daughter, he would get a bad reputation.“I just think y
Su Jingwen was choked with some water, and when she was lifted to Orchid Courtyard, she had fainted.An loved her daughter best and she was heartbroken when seeing that.“My lord, if something bad were to happen to Wen, I will die with her.” Su Lun was also worried about Su Jingwen.“Don’t worry, Wen will be OK.”The doctor came soon and felt the pulse for Su Jingwen.“Doctor, how’s my daughter?”The old doctor stood up and said, “My lord and madam, don't worry. The lady is just choked and scared. It's OK after taking the medicine for two days.”“Thank you, doctor.” An winked at Li Mama, an old maid of An, and Li gave a pouch having some money in to the doctor.“I will walk you out.”“Good bye.”Su Jingwen woke up after taking some medicine.Her eyes were red with blood because of congestion.“Mom, I will kill her,
The labor pain became more intense after Zhao eating some sugar porridge.Su Muge took a look at Zhao’s private part. The cervix had opened two centimeters. “Mom, hang on, the cervix is to open.”Zhao was healthy generally, but she had been bullied by An for many years, which harmed her health to some extent, and she went into labor early. She was dizzy but she made all her efforts to keep a clear mind. She had no energy to think why Muge knew a lot about labor.Su Muge sent Yueru to collect all she needed, at the same time, the cervix was open fully.“Mom, listen to me, breathe in and breathe out, try hard!”Zhao grasped the quilt and obeyed Muge unconsciously.Zhao had given birth to a child and this was her second labor. It should have been smooth. However, it’s been a long time, there was no more progress.Meihua and other maids were too young to know the childbirth things, and they were a
“Congratulations, my lord, Madam Zhao has given birth to a boy.”Su Lun was back from drinking, and everyone congratulated him on having a son. He was so excited that he treated the maids of Peachblosoom Courtyard better.He was in his thirties and expected a son for a long time, so he was so excited to see the baby.An followed Su Lun and she forced herself to smile, pinching Li Mama with her sharp fingernails so heavily that Li was frown for the pain.She really gave birth to a baby, and it’s a boy!“Congratulations, my lord, heaven is blessing you.”“It’s right, my lord. Madam An prayed for Madam Zhao in the temple in the daytime, and Madam Zhao gave birth to a boy in the evening.”Su Lun looked at An gently. “You are so kind.”An glanced at the yard and said, “My lord, the young master is precious and he should be taken good care of, but Zhao is so weak after a labor that she
“I want to strangle that bastard!”“Peng!” An pounded on the pear wooden table heavily.“Oh, my Madam. What are you doing? It will hurt yourself.”“Why didn’t she go to die!” An was so furious, up and down in the chest. For many years, she designed numbers of methods for killing Zhao and Muge, but she didn’t put into practice. The reason why she permitted Zhao being pregnant many months was because she was intended to make Zhao and her fetus both die and no one can suspect her. “Relax, my Madam. Now the baby is here. What are you worrying about?”“That bastard? You think I should bring up him? Don’t forget, he is Zhao’s son and with her blood, that bitch!”Li Mama understood that An had a higher birth than Zhao who was humble and An looked down on Zhao. However, An couldn’t give birth to a boy.But Li couldn’t say that out.“Madam, the young master is a treasure of the lord and n
“Madam, Chunju is kneeling in the yard. She said the eldest Miss was to drive her out of the mansion. She begged you to save her.” Li Mama opened the curtain and walked into the room, whispered to An.An was upset about Su Wenmo’s ceaseless crying. Su Wenmo was the name of Zhao’s son. And Su Lun gave the name to him.The baby had been always crying since he was sent here. An was so angry that she wanted to throw him into a well.Chunju was a spy that An placed around Zhao in those years. It wasn’t strange that she came here now. “What’s wrong with her? Just because she couldn’t call a doctor, Su Muge then drove her out of the mansion?”“I heard it’s because...” Li Mama told An the sequence of events about Muge’s grandmother—Zhang.Hearing that, An became calm.“Now that she made such a big mistake, isn’t driving her out a bit too easy? You know what I mean, Li Mama.”Li Mama knew
“Why?”“Mom, don’t worry. Nancheng prefecture is close to Shunyang prefecture. I will be back ten days later.”“But I will worry about you.”“There is no need to worry. I will go along the official road and I have bodyguards. I’ll be safe.”Zhao worried about Muge, but she saw Muge was determined and she was concerned about Zhang, so she said yes finally. “You are away from home. Promise me to be very careful.”“Mom, take it easy. I’ll be OK.”Before she left, Muge enjoined Yueru on many things.“The eldest Miss, I’ll remember.”Su Lun was told that Muge would go to Nancheng prefecture. It’s rare that he kindly arranged a carriage, three bodyguards and one driver for Muge.“You are a young lady. Why don’t you bring some maids when you go out?” Su Lun noticed that there was no one around Su Muge and frowned.She was his daughter who was born
“Crack!”A bolt of lightning lit up the temple, and Su Muge could see the statue, dilapidated and hideous, which made her frightened.The temple was shabby but it’s a shelter from wind and rain. Su Muge lit the wood and straw with Huozhezi, a roll of paper that could be blown to fire. Her clothes were wet from the rain and it’d better dry them. Otherwise, she would catch a fever by wearing wet clothes.Su Muge took some food from the carriage and she put a wooden stick behind the door of the temple for safety.Despite this, the temple was in the middle of nowhere and no one could come here.She took off her outer clothing and dried it by the fire.“Ah Qiu” Muge sneezed.It’s darker outside, but the rain continued.“It’s so cold.” After a long journey and all-time tension, she was so tired that she leaned on the pillar to have a rest by closing her eyes. However, she
