Chapter 338 - Mo Xuemin Fails and Gets into Trouble (2/2)
“Your Excellency, save me. Your Excellency, save me…” Mo Xuemin struggled as she screamed. She did not want anything else but to leave Duke Zhenguo’s Manor. After what happened, would she be able to stay alive here?
It was a pity that a servant picked up a smelly sock and stuffed it into her mouth before she could say anything else.
“Your wife is really pitiful that she has gone crazy after what happened. I wonder who did this. Brother Sima, you have to investigate the matter.” You Yuecheng shook his head and sighed as if he truly pitied Mo Xuemin.
Sima Lingyun’s eyes flickered and he immediately understood. He immediately put on a serious expression and said, “My wife’s reputation has been damaged after what happened. She has always been weak; how can she take it? She has gone mad. Your Excellency, please help me. We have to find the person who did this to clear my wife’s good name.”
“Of course. You are working for your wife’s good name while I am working for my second brother’s good name. Those who framed them cannot escape.” You Yuecheng said sinisterly as he glanced at Sima Lingyun. Sima Lingyun could not help but look down.
Sima Lingyun had something to ask of You Yuecheng, which was why he could not say anything. Furthermore, Mo Xuemin’s reputation being damaged benefited him. No matter what had happened, Mo Xuemin was his wife. Her having an affair with someone else and him being made a cuckold was embarra.s.sing to him.
Sima Lingyun looked up and watched as You Yuecheng left with You Yuelian. A sinister smile appeared on his face. Her reputation was damaged, she was mad! It was a good idea. It was a great idea!
“Your Excellency, Madam has been thrown into the woodshed. There are a few men keeping watch.” His trusted servant reported.
“Madam’s clothes were destroyed. Tell the people keeping guard to bring her some clothes.” A warm smile appeared on Sima Lingyun’s lips. There was not a hint of warmth in his eyes as he spoke coldly.
“They are all male servants, Your Excellency. Should I get someone from the inner courtyard to send the clothes in?” The servant hesitated for a moment before he asked. The servants who had dragged Mo Xuemin out earlier were all men. By the time they dragged her to the woodshed, all her clothes had been dragged off her. She was almost naked. Some of the male servants looked at Mo Xuemin lecherously and reached out subconsciously to touch her as they grinned at her lasciviously.
If they sent clothes in, something might happen.
“It’s alright, let them send the clothes in.” Sima Lingyun gritted his teeth and said coldly.
The servant could not help but take in a breath of cold air. He looked at Sima Lingyun with wide eyes and was speechless.
“Go quickly. Even though Madam is mad, we cannot ill-treat her.” Sima Lingyun said in a seemingly warm tone as he turned his cold gaze upon the servant. His eyes were like poisonous vipers.
The servant s.h.i.+vered in fear and did not dare to say anything else. He turned around and ran out of the room.
In the woodshed.
Mo Xuemin wrapped her arms around herself tightly as she huddled in the corner. She looked anxiously at the men who were grinning at her l.u.s.tfully. She said with a shaky voice, “What are you all trying to do? I, I am the Marquess’ wife…” She clawed at her tattered clothing tightly, wrapping the cloth around her front. She was so frightened she cried.
“What are we trying to do? His Excellency has given us orders, does Madam not know?” The first man reached out and pulled Mo Xuemin’s hand, lifting her off the ground. He laughed lasciviously.
Many pairs of hands reached out and Mo Xuemin screamed shrilly in fear. She hit their hands wildly as she said, “Which one of you would dare to do this? I am the eldest daughter of the Mo Manor. I am Marquess Zhenguo’s wife. If my father finds out, you will all die. Scram.”
“The Marquess’ wife? It is a pity that His Excellency is the boss here.” The men rubbed their hands together and pounced on Mo Xuemin. The one at the front pulled Mo Xuemin forward. The strips of cloth she wore had already been torn off. The men pounced on her in a frenzy and pressed Mo Xuemin onto the ground.
“No, let go, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.” Mo Xuemin screamed. She shook in fear but could not escape those devils…
In the back courtyard of Duke Zhenguo’s Manor.
The imperial physician put down the needle in his hand and said to Sima Lingyun, “Your Excellency, you do not need to worry. Even though Old Madam and Young Miss were poisoned, it was not a large dose. They will be fine after a good rest, but the Auntie…”
The auntie in question was Yun Yiqiu. She just had a miscarriage and was the weakest among the three. Sima Lingyun still had feelings for her and he asked anxiously, “What about her? Can you not treat her?”
“It is not that she cannot be treated, but it is a little troublesome. This auntie here just had a miscarriage and her body is weak. Even though there is not a large quant.i.ty of poison in her body, her reproductive system has been damaged. I fear she might not be able to get pregnant again…” The elderly imperial physician shook his head and shut his medicinal box. The poison had gone deeply into her body and her reproductive system. It would be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
“Is there no other way?” Sima Lingyun asked, not willing to give up when he thought of how important children were to Yun Yiqiu.
“I don’t have any other ways to treat her. If Your Excellency does not believe me, you can find someone else.” The elderly imperial physician said angrily, picking up his medicinal box and left. He thought that Sima Lingyun did not believe in his medical skills.
