Chapter 108 Escape
Cui Hengyue opened her mouth wide with disbelief on her face.
"After all, it's my own flesh and blood, how could I possibly kill him?"
After the memories faded away, Qionghua could still feel the grief and hatred of that year. She looked at Cui Hengyue and said: "At that time, my wife was just like you, she didn't believe it.
"So, my wife asked Cui San personally, but Cui San said that the ground was too slippery and he accidentally fell and killed your brother.
"My wife also asked Lin Jiang to interrogate the servants who were present at the time. They said the same things as Cui San."
Cui Hengyue's expression softened slightly: "Let me just say, what father would kill his own son?"
"No, your brother was killed by Cui San."
Seeing that Qionghua insisted on thinking this way, Cui Hengyue couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you say that? Didn't you say that Cui San attaches great importance to the son in my mother's belly?
"Did you find any evidence?"
Qionghua's eyes darkened.
If there is evidence, why did the lady die with hatred?
"We have no evidence, but Lin Jiang went to check the place where Cui San fell. It didn't rain that day, no one sprinkled water, and there was no oil or stones on the ground. It would be impossible for ordinary people to fall.
"So, Cui San lied.
"Also, on the second day after you were born, a woman came to your door with a pregnant belly, claiming that she was Cui San's wife, and she was pregnant with Cui San's son.
"When the lady heard about this, she fainted on the spot. What was even more hateful was that the old lady let the outside room in and placed her in the third room.
"I was afraid that my wife wouldn't be able to bear it, so I ordered the servants not to reveal the bad things going on outside to my wife. But at that time, as soon as the servants in the third room heard that the outer room was pregnant with a son, they all went to fawn over her.
"So, when the outer room came to see my wife, no one stopped her..."
Cui Hengyue intuitively felt that the person coming from outside the house was not good, but she was confused about one thing: "When my mother-in-law married into the Cui Mansion, there would definitely not be too few servants as a bride.
"Besides, you have great skills, why didn't you stop the outer room?"
After listening to Cui Hengyue's words, Qionghua punched the table angrily: "After your brother died, the old lady took away the servants who were present on the grounds of incompetence, and also took away Wen Po and the maid in the delivery room. After that,
A group of servants were rearranged to enter the third room.
"My wife begged desperately, so she left Lin Jiang and me. Later, Lin Jiang found out that after the old lady captured those people, she killed them, and also claimed that your brother died due to dystocia.
"The outer room came to see my wife, and I stopped him, but the new servant from the third room dragged me out of the room forcefully and let the outer room go into my wife's room.
"The foreign concubine was extremely arrogant. He told his wife that Cui San loved her the most. As long as she gave birth to a child, Cui San would take her back to Cui Mansion. He also said that he would make her the third wife in the future...
"The poor lady, who had just suffered the pain of losing her son and the betrayal of her husband, was so angry that she vomited several mouthfuls of blood and fainted again.
"At that time, my wife had just given birth to a child and she was still in confinement. She suffered so much pain that her body was severely damaged and the root of the disease was left behind."
No wonder Mrs. Wang has been in bed all year round and takes medicine every day. It turns out that she suffered such a heavy blow.
Cui Hengyue felt a surge of anger in her heart and couldn't help but hammer the table.
Qionghua continued: "The old lady did not hesitate to kill all the insiders, and also concealed the fact that your brother fell to death, which was to cover up Cui San's crime.
"After the wife was expelled from the Wang family, Cui San regretted marrying the wife, so he raised a wife outside.
"And because the other wife was pregnant with a son, Cui San didn't want my wife's son, so I killed your brother.
"Even Cui San didn't want to keep you. At that time, he threw you to Po Wen casually, just to cause an accident, but he didn't expect Po Wen to catch you.
"My wife was afraid that something might happen to you, so she kept you close to her side. Except for me, she didn't let anyone touch you.
"After knowing these things, my wife was afraid that Cui San would do something to you, so she planned to leave Cui Mansion.
"My wife pretended to accept your brother's death in childbirth, carefully dealt with Cui San, secretly recuperated her health, and sent Lin Jiang to send a letter to the Wang family for help."
When the Wang family was mentioned, Qionghua became even more angry: "However, no matter how Lin Jiang begged, the Wang family's guards never let Lin Jiang in, nor did they accept the wife's letter.
"Lin Jiang knelt outside the door and begged the guards to let him see Mrs. Wang. However, the Wang family disliked Lin Jiang's yelling outside the door and embarrassed the Wang family, so they ordered the guards to drive Lin Jiang away.
"Finally, Lin Jiang sneaked into the palace at night and met the Wang family's master, but he was still beaten out.
"They said that my wife is no longer a member of the Wang family. Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with the Wang family."
Cui Hengyue was so angry that she opened her mouth to curse, but suddenly thought of someone: "The Wang family is unwilling to save grandma, so why didn't grandma go to my aunt? Isn't she a noble concubine?"
Hearing this, Qionghua looked sad: "At that time, the imperial concubine had already died of illness."
Cui Hengyue: "..."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Cui Hengyue asked again: "Does Aniang want to make peace with Cui San?"
"Yes." Qionghua replied: "Initially, my wife wanted to divorce Cui San, but Cui San didn't agree, and the old lady didn't agree either, so my wife asked Cui San to divorce her.
"However, Cui San and the old lady also disagreed, so I asked the Wang family for help. Otherwise, I would not have sent Lin Jiang to the Wang family."
Cui Hengyue was very confused: "Didn't Cui San want to help Wai Shi become the third wife? Why didn't he agree to such a good opportunity?"
"Oh--"
Qionghua sneered coldly: "The Cui family is an aristocratic family, and they will never allow the Cui family to have the slightest stigma outside.
"So they will not agree to my wife's divorce from Cui San, nor will they allow Cui San to divorce his wife, because they want to imprison my wife in the Cui Mansion so that the secrets of the Cui Mansion will not be leaked."
The people in Cui Mansion are so shameless.
Cui Hengyue cursed hard in her heart and asked: "Then how did my mother-in-law come to Yunxuan Temple?"
Qionghua: "The second month after you were born, the outer room gave birth to a son. Cui San and Mrs. Cui were very happy and kept sending supplements to the outer room.
"However, it is not that easy for a foreign wife to get in. Although she has moved into the Cui Mansion, as long as the wife disagrees for one day, she will still be a foreign wife, and her son will still be an illegitimate child.
"After the Wang family refused to help, my wife proposed to the old lady that she would take you to another hospital to recuperate, but the old lady did not agree.
"So, when the lady was desperate, she negotiated a deal with the outside chamber. As long as she persuaded the old lady to allow the lady to go to another courtyard to recuperate, the lady would agree to the outside chamber's entry.
"The outer chamber persuaded the old lady, and she was able to leave the Cui Mansion, but she did not go to another courtyard. We got rid of the Cui Mansion's guards on the way and changed our route to Yunxuan Temple."
Thinking of that thrilling escape, Qionghua still has lingering fears: "But the people in the Cui Mansion soon realized something was wrong, and they caught up with us not long after.
"We broke through the encirclement and fled all the way. When we arrived at Yunxuan Temple, Lin Jiang had been stabbed more than twenty times. He was covered in blood and was dying.
"Fortunately, when the Cui Mansion guards chased Yunxuan Temple, we had already entered Yunxuan Temple, and the mountain gate of Yunxuan Temple was already closed.
