When Aunt Zhou heard Li Shuangtong's voice, she raised her head to look at her, her eyes filled with anger and hatred. She raised her hand to knock away Li Shuangtong's hand, which was holding the cup.

In that instant, he seemed to have used up all his strength as he looked at her and said, "Scram, I don't want to see you."

The child she had been looking forward to had actually died at the hands of her own daughter. How could she not hate him?

"Mother, I know you hate your daughter, but your daughter didn't do it on purpose. At that time, you really didn't know that your mother was inside. What's more, is the one inside your mother's stomach also your daughter's younger brother?" Li Shuangtong clenched her fists tightly, crying as she spoke. She was originally an unfavoured daughter, and without her birth mother's protection, it would only become more and more difficult to stay in the backyard.

Right now, she could only beg Auntie Zhou for her forgiveness. There was no other way, but in her heart, she was resentful towards Li Manting. She wanted to swallow her whole stomach in one gulp to vent her anger.

"I was completely on guard, but I wasn't able to guard against my own daughter!" Auntie Zhou said with tears all over her face.

Li Shuangtong just kept shaking her head. She really didn't do it on purpose! Why didn't her mother believe her?

"Mother?" Li Shuangtong looked at her mother in disbelief. She did not understand why she would not believe her, and even more so for the sake of that unborn child.

After kneeling on the ground for a long time, she suddenly stood up, her legs becoming so numb that she could not even stand. In the end, the maidservant by her side held her body, but she did not fall down. She only said, "Mother, rest well. Your daughter will come see mother again tomorrow." He then walked out of the room.

"Miss, are we going back?" Liu'er looked at Li Shuangtong, who had an unfriendly expression, and boldly asked.

Li Shuangtong only shook her head, not reprimanding her. She said calmly, "Go to second sister's place." She naturally wanted to ask Li Manting why she had stopped her from going in to check.

"Second sister." As soon as she entered the room, Li Shuangtong pushed Liu'er's arm away, suddenly dashing to Li Manting's side, and glaring at her.

Li Manting did not mind her threatening gaze at all, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised, as she sized up the slightly embarrassed Li Shuangtong and said, "Third Sister, how come you have the time to come to my place? Why don't you accompany Auntie Zhou more?" No matter what, Auntie Zhou has lost her child. As her biological daughter, Third Sister should have at least tried to persuade her on the side. "

Li Shuangtong looked at her in such a manner that she angrily moved her body closer, staring into her eyes as she said, "Why did you stop me from going in to take a look?" Do you know that the person inside is Auntie Zhou? "

Li Manting looked at her angry appearance with a smile on her face. She was not annoyed at all as she slowly said, "Third sister, you should be careful with your words. Otherwise, if someone misunderstands, it will not be good."

Li Shuangtong thought that she was just evading her words, and she could not help but grow even more annoyed. "If you didn't know something, why did you stop me from going in to investigate? Did you plot to murder Auntie Zhou's child so that I could bear the blame?"

Faced with her questioning voice, Li Manting took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Third sister, could it be that you want to drag me along to take the blame for your own actions?" After a pause, he continued, "As for why I stopped you from going in to check, it was only because I didn't hear anything. Moreover, it was only Fifth Sister who told me to go with you. Otherwise, do you think I would have followed you? "

As she spoke the latter half of the sentence, Li Manting's eyes clearly narrowed as a hint of a smile appeared on her face. If Li Shuangtong were to raise her head and look at her, she would have noticed her abnormality.

Li Manting did not ask him what he wanted, so he naturally went back. It was just that at night, when Li Shuangtong was sleeping on the bed, all she saw were the blood flowing from Aunt Zhou's legs.

No matter what, Li Shuangtong could not avoid her aunt's question. When she saw the vicious expression on her aunt's face, all she could do was hold her head and shout, "It's not me, it's not me!" Not... Not... "No."

At this moment, all she could do was repeat those words over and over again. Liu'er, who was standing guard outside, had obviously heard her shout. She ran over in a hurry and shook her shoulders as she called out, "Miss, wake up! Miss, wake up! Miss!"

Li Shuangtong woke up covered in sweat after being shaken by her. Her thin bedclothes were stuck to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Her pair of eyes were unfocused as she stared at Liu'er.

When Liu'er saw that she had woken up, she let out a breath of relief. She used the handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on her forehead and asked, "Has Miss had a nightmare?"

"That's right!" I've been caught in a nightmare. " Only now did she wake up. However, once she closed her eyes, she could recall that terrifying dream she had just had. It was now impossible for her to sleep now.

In the morning, Liu'er served her well and washed up. The current Wu Qing couldn't hide anything and didn't have much appetite. She just ate a few bites of breakfast in a hurry, appearing like a mother who had just left for good night.

"Mother is well." Li Shuangtong bowed to Lady Wang in a very formal manner. When she got up, she saw Li Rou and Ping who were already sitting at the side. She nodded slightly and said, "Fourth Sister."

After Lady Wang placed down a mouthful of tea, she raised her head and looked at Li Shuangtong with a concerned expression, "Tong'er, why is Wu Qing so heavy now? "But you didn't sleep well last night?"

Hearing Lady Wang's concern for Li Shuangtong, Li Shuangtong's body trembled slightly before she replied, "I'm sorry to trouble you, mother, but I just had a nightmare last night and disturbed my sleep." Li Shuangtong lowered her head and stared at the cup of tea in her teacup, replying in a muffled voice, as if she did not have much spirit left in her.

"It won't work if this goes on. In a while, you will send a little girl to the medicine house to get some medicine to calm the spirit. If you're so young, how can your body withstand it?" Lady Wang happily said, causing Li Shuangtong's eyes to redden even more.

"That's right, third sister. You just have to listen to mother and ask for a prescription later. Otherwise, you might get sick yourself." Li Rou Ping comforted her with a smile.

"How is Aunt Zhou?" Lady Wang looked at Li Rou Ping and asked her.
