Chapter 107 Brother's Death
Under Cui Hengyue's comfort, the guilt in Lin Jiang's heart dissipated a lot.
He solemnly said to Cui Hengyue: "Yueyue, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again. I will protect you and Qionghua in the future."
Cui Hengyue nodded, pulled them to sit down, and lowered his voice: "I want to know why my mother-in-law stayed in Yunxuan Temple, and how did my brother die?"
Hearing this, Qionghua's expression suddenly changed: "Yueyue, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Only after I understand these things can I avenge my mother-in-law." Cui Hengyue's eyes were firm.
The Cui family has gone too far to bully others, and she wants to seek justice for the little lunatic and the Wang family.
This time, she was not forced, but wanted to help the little madman get revenge.
Lin Jiang had already learned about this from Qionghua. Seeing that Cui Hengyue was determined to take revenge, he nodded to Qionghua and stood up: "I'll go guard outside."
After saying this, Lin Jiang walked out of the room and stood guard at the door.
Someone was guarding her, so she felt more at ease when she spoke. Qionghua then spoke eloquently: "On the second day after my wife and Cui San got married, the Wang family announced to the public that they would expel my wife from the Wang family.
"Because of this incident, my wife was looked down upon in the Cui Mansion.
"In the first year after marrying into the Cui Mansion, my wife never got pregnant. The people in the Cui Mansion became even more aggressive, and even the servants bullied my wife.
"During that time, my wife suffered so much humiliation that she couldn't eat or sleep every day. She was as thin as a bamboo pole and there was no smile on her face.
"Fortunately, God opened his eyes. In the second year, my wife became pregnant, and the imperial doctor diagnosed me that she was pregnant with a son, and they were twins.
"And that year, Yuan Niang entered the palace and was named a noble concubine. She also sent people to Cui Mansion to visit her from time to time, so people in Cui Mansion did not dare to neglect her.
"Those who had bullied my wife in the past came to apologize overtly or covertly and wanted to curry favor with my wife. Even Cui San treated her much better than before. He often touched her belly and said, 'With a son, the eldest and second wives will no longer be the same.
Don't dare to bully our third room anymore'..."
Cui Hengyue suddenly interrupted Qionghua: "The first, second and third bedrooms are all descendants. Why did Cui San say that?"
Qionghua was stunned for a moment when she heard Cui Hengyue call her father "Cui San", but thinking of Cui Yongxuan's shameless behavior, Qionghua felt that he could not be called "father" to Cui Hengyue.
Qionghua explained: "Although they are both direct children, the old lady doted on her young son and doted on Cui San. Cui Da and Cui Er became jealous because of this, and they have bullied Cui San behind the old lady's back since they were young.
"Furthermore, Cui Da and Cui San are very cunning, and Cui San gets caught every time. The old lady always thinks that they love their younger brother very much, so they have never been punished.
"Cui San has always held a grudge and tried to take advantage of them in everything, except when it came to having children. So Cui San was very happy after my wife became pregnant with the child."
So that’s it.
Cui Hengyue put her chin in her hands: "What happened next?"
Qionghua's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Later, on the day when the lady took action, she gave birth to a son who is your brother after all the hard work.
"After Cui San knew that your brother had come out, he rushed into the delivery room and took your brother away, regardless of everyone's dissuasion.
"At first, my wife and we all thought that Cui San was doting on my wife, so he stayed outside the delivery room early, but we didn't expect that he came to snatch our son..."
"Robbing my son?" Confusion appeared on Cui Hengyue's face.
The son is the son of Wang and Cui San, why should they be robbed?
"No, it's not robbery." Qionghua denied her choice of words: "It's to kill her son."
Kill your son?
Cui Hengyue's eyes widened, her expression full of disbelief: "Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, Cui San actually killed his own son? What on earth is going on?"
When she mentioned the murder of Cui San's son, Qionghua clenched her hands unconsciously, her face filled with anger and hatred, and the events of that year came to mind again.
"Ah...bring my son back quickly..." Mrs. Wang clenched the quilt in her hand, endured the severe pain, and ordered Qionghua.
Qionghua turned around and wanted to chase Cui Yongxuan, but was stopped by Po Wen.
"What are you chasing after? Sanlang is just a father for the first time. He wants to hold his son and show it to the Duke and his wife. Why are you joining in the fun?
"The third lady still has a baby in her belly, why don't you go over and help?"
Upon hearing this, Qionghua returned to Wang's side and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, madam, Sanlang is carrying the young man to show the Duke and his wife, and he will be back soon."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt relieved and worked hard to cooperate with Po Wen to give birth to her second child.
"Wow--"
A loud cry came from the delivery room, and people outside couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a figure rushed into the delivery room.
"Sanlang, the delivery room is dirty, you can't go in..." The servant outside wanted to stop him, but Cui Yongxuan pushed him away.
Cui Yongxuan rushed straight to Po Wen who was holding the child, and snatched the child from her hand.
"Why is it a girl? Didn't the imperial doctor's order say that both of them are boys?" Cui Yongxuan's face was ashen.
Po Wen lowered her head: "It should be that the imperial doctor made a mistake in his diagnosis. The third lady is not pregnant with twins, but a boy and a girl."
Seeing Cui Yongxuan's gloomy face, Po Wen couldn't help but said: "The twins are a good sign. The third lady has given birth to a son and a daughter for you. This is a great joy."
The maid next to him echoed: "Yes, Sanlang, twins of twins are very good..."
"What's good?" Cui Yongxuan yelled at the maid.
The room instantly became quiet.
The next moment, the infant child burst into tears.
Wang felt something was wrong, so she tried to raise her upper body and asked, "Sanlang... where is our son?"
Cui Yongxuan turned a deaf ear, threw the child into Po Wen's arms, and ran out.
His action frightened everyone, and Ms. Wang even let out a scream.
Fortunately, Po Wen caught the child and everyone let out a long sigh.
Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered: "Bring the child to me quickly."
When the child was in her arms, Ms. Wang felt relieved, but the next moment, she thought of her son and quickly told Qionghua: "Hurry up and chase Sanlang and bring my son back."
"yes."
Soon, Qionghua came back, and the swaddling clothes in her arms were sewn by Wang herself.
Mrs. Wang didn't notice the expression on Qionghua's face. Her eyes were all on the baby in Qionghua's arms: "Quickly, give me my son."
Qionghua walked to the bed step by step, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Madam, the young man died..."
"Rumble"
Mrs. Wang felt Qionghua's words were like a bolt from the blue. She was stunned for a moment, and then she stretched out her fingers and got close to the swaddled baby.
Her hands kept shaking, and when her fingers came close to the baby's nose, she suddenly retracted them.
The next moment, she bit her lower lip, stretched out her fingers again, and approached the baby's nostrils.
After a while, Wang suddenly roared: "No..."
A low cry sounded in the house.
"Why are you crying? Don't cry, my son is not dead." Wang shouted sternly.
Everyone immediately covered their mouths, not daring to make a single sound.
Looking at the crazy Mrs. Wang, Qionghua couldn't bear it, but she had to wake her up: "Madam, the young man has gone..."
Wang paused.
After a while, Wang suddenly reached out and grabbed Qionghua: "How did my son die?"
