Chapter 213 The farce ends
The old women had already surrounded their master so tightly that Li Zan couldn't get close to her at all.
He turned around angrily and was about to call the guards, but the guards just stared at Lin Yi without moving.
"You are such a good guy, Lin Yi. You want to side with Pei Jin, right? Don't think I don't know that you are Pei Jin's follower. Believe it or not, I will sue you for colluding with Pei Jin and have all the members of your Qingping Marquis' Mansion executed!" Li Zan was furious.
Chan Yi pursed her lips. It turned out that this person was Pei Jin's man. No wonder. With him here, she felt more at ease.
"Sister, don't be afraid. A fool like him can't do anything big." Xiao Che said in a low voice.
Chan Yi nodded gratefully to her second brother. At first, she was indeed frightened by their aggressive appearance, but now she was not afraid at all. She was just worried that if these people didn't leave, An'er might get hungry.
Pei Yun saw that Li Zan was a little frustrated, and was about to go over to urge him to do something. But she was so busy looking at Li Zan that she didn't notice the water stains on the smooth floor. They were the tea that Xiao Che had thrown at her. Qingying had deliberately mopped the floor with an oiled mop, leaving it shiny and glossy, just in case she didn't come over.
Pei Yun slipped and fell hard on his butt.
"Ouch, ouch..." She suddenly screamed in pain.
"Yun'er, what's wrong with you?" Li Zan ran over in a panic and tried to help her.
"Don't move, she's bleeding!" Gu Ningxia stepped forward and pointed at her skirt and screamed, "She's going to lose her baby."
"Ah..." Pei Yun looked at the blood slowly seeping out of her skirt and was so scared that her eyes rolled back and she was about to faint.
Seeing that she was frightened, Gu Ningxia quickly pulled her body and shook it hard, saying, "How could you be so careless? You lost the baby. Why are you trying so hard to be so smart? Look, this is retribution."
As he said this, he stuffed a pill in his hand into her mouth without anyone noticing. Pei Yun was so scared when she heard that she had a miscarriage that she had lost her mind. When someone stuffed a pill into her mouth, she thought it was a drug to preserve the pregnancy and swallowed it without thinking.
"Mr. Li, what should we do? Why don't you send your wife back home so that she can be rescued in time? Maybe the fetus in her belly can be saved." Eunuch Wang shouted.
"I can't take it anymore, help me..." Pei Yun struggled to stand up and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
"Yun'er, are you okay?" Li Zan was also panicking. He was not worried about her miscarriage. He already had plenty of sons, so he didn't care about a concubine giving birth to a child. What he was most worried about was losing a strong witness who could expose Pei Jin's crimes. Although Pei Jin was dead, his father had said that he would never be able to recover from his crime and would never be allowed to have a chance to overturn the verdict.
Now he regretted it a little. He originally thought that only the women were left in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He brought people here to scare them, and maybe he could get the young lady to give herself to him so that he could have a taste of her beauty. He didn't expect that he would end up losing more than he gained. If his father knew, he would definitely scold him for causing trouble instead of helping others.
"Brother Li, please go back quickly. I think this lady is in great danger." Gu Qingfeng said slowly, "Don't let two people die at once. That would be bad."
Pei Yun only felt cramps in her stomach and a warm current suddenly surged through her lower body. She suddenly realized that she had been deceived by Gu Ningxia. The pill must have been an abortion pill, and she must have come prepared.
"You...husband...it's her..." She raised a hand weakly and pointed at Gu Ningxia, "She is the one who hurt me..."
"How can you repay kindness with enmity? You accidentally fell down and I was kind enough to help you up, but you were not grateful and instead blamed me. You have no conscience. Brother Li, tell me, I feel so wronged." Gu Ningxia grabbed Li Zan's hand and twisted her body and said.
When had Li Zan seen her take the initiative like this? The little girl was so cute and charming, and she looked at him with a pair of tender eyes. His saliva was almost flowing out. He quickly lowered his face and said to Pei Yun: "You can't blame others for being so careless. I'll let Li Ma and the others take you back and ask a doctor to take a look at you. Your body won't get better for a while, and there are many things to do in the mansion, so you should rest outside!"
"Husband...husband...please don't abandon me..." Pei Yun burst into tears. She knew that this man was always cruel. If she was no longer useful and became an abandoned person, her life would be in danger.
The two maids immediately picked her up and walked out. Li Zan followed behind with a blank expression.
When Eunuch Wang saw that they had all left, he shook his head and said, "Madam, Miss, you were frightened. It's okay, you should have a good rest. I have no choice but to do my job. Oh, tsk tsk, what's going on?"
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Wang. Take care." Madam Lin said in a gentle voice, "Thank you for your care."
After everyone had left, Madam Lin looked at the bloodstains on the floor of the front hall, frowned and asked, "Qianqian, Pei Yun didn't bleed much when he fell, so why did he suddenly bleed heavily afterwards?"
"Mother, didn't you see that Gu Er fed her a pill? That's... her fate. She was too clever to do anything." Chan Yi shook her head and said, "Mother, second brother, don't mind other people's business. Let the maids clean up here. Let's go back to the backyard first."
"Okay, I'll listen to Qianqian." Mrs. Lin held her daughter's hand, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Mother, don't worry. Judging from what Eunuch Wang said, father and elder brother will be fine." Chan Yi said seriously, "The situation is still unclear. Let's close the door and hide in the cellar just in case."
What Chan Yi feared most now were the soldiers pretending to be refugees. They were hiding in the West Market secretly and could cause a riot at any time. Then the people in the city would be in trouble. However, they had a group of well-trained guards in the Zhenguo Mansion, so they might be able to hold out for a while.
"Qianqian, is that person really Pei Yun?" Mrs. Lin asked her daughter, looking at her serious expression.
Chan Yi nodded and smiled, "It's okay. I think she had a hemorrhage. I didn't expect Gu Er to be so vicious that he brought abortion pills even though he was fine."
"Qianqian, you don't know this. Although Gu Ningxia is young, she has always been petty and loves to do bad things. She carries all kinds of pills in her purse every day. The concubines in their family are like mice seeing a cat when they see her. Have you forgotten that last time at the Queen's birthday banquet, she came to toast, and I was so scared, I was afraid that she would secretly poison me, but I didn't expect that Li Zan..." Madam Lin shook her head and spat, "Evil people will be punished by evil people."
So there is such a thing! Chan Yi thought that the Changning Marquis Mansion seemed to be a troublemaker, and she would keep her distance from them in the future. But she couldn't guess whether the two of them came here on purpose?
Inside the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the memorial in his hand nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty, the fate of the country is at stake. Please make a decision quickly, otherwise it will be too late." Tutor Li stood in the shadows, speaking while gauging the emperor's expression.
