"Sixth sister, what do you want to say?" Lian Yanqing asked.
"Brother, do you still remember that when sister was giving birth, I happened to come back from the husband's house to stay for the night, sister was always helping out in Fuan Courtyard, and before Ding'er was born, sister never left the side of his bed. When Ding'er was born, I was the first one to hug him from his wife's hands, and when I carried him to brother's study to congratulate him, it was definitely impossible for sister to be lying in front of her eyes."
Furthermore, as a member of the Lian Family, as well as being protected by my mother and elder brother, it is even more impossible for my younger sister to allow others to mess up the Lian Family's bloodline. "
Back then, Lian Xi had indeed come to the Fuan Courtyard when the First Wife was giving birth, and she was also the first one to hold a hand sign and report to the Liangyan Matriarch. However, she didn't always wait by the Eldest Wife's bed, but things had been going on for a long time, and the Fuan Courtyard had been very busy that night, so now that she told such a small lie, even Yanqing didn't know whether it was true or false, so there was naturally nothing to suspect.
Lian Yan Qing nodded his head and said, "That is indeed the case. You also said that Yi'er's appearance is really similar to mine."
"That Xiao Niang's character is inconvenient to judge, brother has his own judgment. However, if elder brother wants to call Yi'er back for a drip of blood, little sister couldn't help but say. This is too unfair to elder sister-in-law, and I'm afraid that she will lose her heart to elder brother, and I'm afraid that this child, Yi'er, will also lose his heart to elder brother.
Lian Yan Qing's brows were tightly locked together. His eyes were fixed as he asked, "Sixth Sister, are you really sure that it was your eldest sister-in-law who did the trick?"
Lian Xi's fists under her sleeves were slightly clenched, but her gaze was calm as she looked at Lian Yan Qing. She said, "Elder brother, little sister will swear on my head."
After a moment of silence, Lian Yan Qing waved his hand and said, "I understand. You may leave."
"Yes, brother." Lian Xi bade her farewell.
"Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Madam is here."
"Yue Er, it's alright. Just now, your father came to your grandmother's place and was angered for an entire hour, scolding Auntie Xiao, and he believed that she was intentionally harming your mother. In order to get rid of her sin, he said that Yi'er was not just some Lian family's flesh and blood.
Your grandmother also said that this was all part of Aunt Xiao's plan to stall for time. "
Lian Ru Yue heard Lian Xi's words and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Aunt Xi, these past three days you have been worrying a lot. You must have spoken a lot of good words for my mother and Yi'er in front of Grandmother and father. Aunt Xi, thank you."
"This is nothing to me. To think that you could come up with such a series of plans in just two days. You've earned your father's trust, step by step, for your mother and Yi'er." Lian Xi said with a sigh of relief.
"Now is the time to formally say goodbye to Aunt Xiao." Her smile was bewitching, her eyes cold and resolute.
West yard.
Auntie Xiao was lying on the floor in the house. Aunt Su had stabbed her body a dozen times with a hairpin. At this moment, her body was covered in blood, but no one paid any attention to her.
"Creak …" At this moment, the door creaked open. Her heart trembled, and when she lifted her gaze, she saw Lian Ru Yue standing before her. To her, Lian Ru Yue looked like an evil ghost that had come from hell just to take her life.
"Ah …" She was so scared that her entire body started to tremble. She curled up into a ball and muttered, "It's you, it really is you …" Me, Me... "You, you …"
"That's right, it's me." Lian Ruyue looked down at the person on the ground and said frankly.
"I... In the end, I was fooled by you. " Auntie Xiao forced a smile and said weakly.
Lian Ru Yue coldly looked at her and lightly said, "Aunt Xiao wants Lian Shiya to become the fourth prince's main wife. This hope will probably expand because …" She doesn't have such a life! "
"Y-you're lying, my Ya'er is a rich person, the Queen ordered, her future, she will definitely fly up the golden branch like that phoenix, and you, and you are just a county lord, so what is it? You will definitely, definitely taste the most painful thing in your life in the future, you will definitely, you will definitely. " Auntie Xiao was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently, but her breathing was getting weaker and weaker.
Lian Ru Yue shook her head with a cold gaze as she said, "Stubborn fool, he deserved to die."
"You, what are you trying to do? You want to kill me? You dare to kill me? " Aunt Xiao, seeing the cold brows that had appeared behind Lian Ruyue, forcefully swallowed her saliva and said with a trembling voice.
"Cold-browed …" She called out to him, her cold brows slowly drawing near to him.
"You, you …" Auntie Xiao slowly retreated, her eyes filled with fear.
"It's over." Lian Ru Yue said these words indifferently as she lifted her leg and walked out of the room. When the door closed, a scream came from inside.
The next day, Qing An Courtyard.
Lian Niang and the rest were discussing about the full moon feast for Lian Yan when a maidservant came outside to report that they had found Lady Xiao in the lotus pond. However, her body was stiff and she was thoroughly dead.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but get goosebumps. Mrs Liu asked quietly, "He died just like that?"
"He was in the west yard, why would he die in the lotus pond?" Someone asked in confusion.
In reply, Mistress, the servants saw a trail of blood extending from the west yard all the way to the lotus pond, so they reported to the Chief Protector Lian Tian asking him to come and have a look. Even the caretaker said that Aunt Xiao tried to escape and crawled all the way out of the west yard to drop a pool of blood, but in the end, she didn't fall too deep into the pool.
"Enough, enough. Stop talking, I'm about to be scared to death." Mrs Liu shuddered and hurriedly stopped the girl from continuing.
"Yes." The girl then shut her mouth.
The Second Branch's Hu Shi said, "This person has committed many evil deeds. At least he deserves to die."
"She was already abandoned, and was only brought back because of the child in her womb. Who would have thought that the child was also a fake, she could not be considered a Lian Family person, so she ordered, the straw mat was cleared, and then found a place in the outskirts of the capital to dig a grave, bury it, and do not set up the tablet."
"Yes, madame."
"From now on, no one is allowed to mention this person anymore." Even his mother gave the order, and everyone acknowledged it.
"However, if Third Sister were to find out about this, she would most likely be grieving." Lian Ruyue said from the side.
"Send someone to the Duke of Yue's estate to inform them that she's dead. We can't hide it from mother, or else she'll find out." However, I've told her that I'm not allowed to come back and cause trouble. If she doesn't listen, then don't blame me, your grandmother, for not doing one last favor. "
