When Pin Yue rushed over with her huge husband, the inside of the house was already in chaos.

The Old Madame Ye turned pale, and ordered Pin Yue, Miao Ning and Tong Rui to send a few maids over to the side to carry Xia Li. Luckily, the midwife had already brought the baby in, and stayed in the servant's room with the Jiayu Hall.

Since the Mama Wu was not here, Pin Yue could only act as the Old Madame Ye's spy and follow the midwife into the temporary delivery room.

However, she was still a lady who had yet to exit the pavilion. Looking at the pots of blood and the Concubine Shao's desperate state, she was already scared out of her wits. It was already rare for her to be able to stay inside the house and see everything.

Hugging Xia Li's main house was only a few steps away, but now that he was sitting inside the main house, he could clearly hear the screams that fluctuated between high and low.

Miao Ning brought her two maidservants and fearfully cleaned up the room. However, the fishy smell mixed with the amniotic fluid and blood would not dissipate for a long time.

Old Madame Ye was still seated at the high hall, her two loose white eyebrows were tightly-knit together, the prayer beads in her hands were spinning very quickly, and only when her gaze inadvertently landed on Su Xin who was still kneeling down, did she anger rise in her heart, ”First place this glutton in the woodshed and lock it up!”

Now that this matter was not only related to the Ye Family, Su Xin had been serving the Concubine Shao and also learned of many secrets, which she might be able to use to wash away the stains on her body.

Old Madame Ye was truly an experienced man, she had already thought of the idea in an instant. Looking at the servants who were tying them up, she said in a deep voice, ”You better watch out for him. If anything happens to him, pay attention to your mother!”

The maidservants hurriedly replied, ”Yes!”

The servants and wives that could serve in the old lady's room were all sons and daughters of Ye Family, and one mistake could easily implicate a family member that was working in the house. As a result, no one dared to slack off in the slightest, and they all used all their strength to tie the hemp rope.

Su Xin's body was immediately covered with red marks, but she remained expressionless as if she did not feel anything, and was half dragged out by a few servants.

Jin Lan's gaze never left Su Xin until the curtain was drawn.

The scene just now repeated in her mind. The hand that Su Xin had suddenly extended out, was clearly aimed at her mother's skirt. If she had not pulled her mother back in time, her mother would probably have fallen on top of Concubine Shao!

But why? According to Su Xin's confession, she hated the Concubine Shao. If she wanted to take revenge, she only needed to gently push for her wish to do so.

Furthermore, when Concubine Shao was grabbing onto her neck just now, with Su Xin's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to struggle free, but she did not.

There must be something wrong here!

Jin Lan thought carefully in her heart. Suddenly, she felt her sleeves sink, and immediately, she retracted her gaze. It was Mama Zhu.

The Mama Zhu glanced at her worriedly before shifting her gaze to the Madame SHen who was sitting at the side.

It was only then that Jin Lan realised that the Madame SHen's expression was sad, and her eyes stared straight ahead in a daze. She looked in the right direction, and saw that there was nothing else there. However, the Concubine Shao's mournful cry came from the other side of the wall.

She thought for a moment, then picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to Madame SHen, ”Mother, drink a cup of tea to calm your nerves.”

Being called out by Jin Lan, Madame SHen finally regained her senses. She forced out a smile, accepted the teacup with trembling hands and took a sip absent-mindedly, before placing it down and continuing to look ahead.

However, everything before her gradually blurred, as if a layer of mist had covered everything. She could only hear the heart-wrenching shriek growing clearer and clearer.

How familiar was this anguished cry that was mixed with despair and pain? She had also cried out hysterically like this before, but she could not keep the gradually freezing life in her stomach. Especially when that small body slipped out of her body along with the warm stream, what was in so much pain was actually that heart that was full of holes.

Even with Ye Lin's comfort, it would be hard to forgethisr. In addition to the fact that he was exposed after his miscarriage, her body weakened day by day. The doctor had even asserted that if he brought her here, he might not even have a chance to conceive again.

For a moment, her husband was disgusted, her mother-in-law treated her like a thorn in her side, and the status in the household plummeted. Even the experienced wives dared to step on her! Other than the Mama Zhu, there was only Shaoyin who guarded the bed night and day, groveling over her until she passed out from exhaustion. Only then did her wedding vein appear.

She had hated him, but she had also hated him. When it was late at night and she was alone, she could not help but think that it was Shaoyin's pulse that had crashed into her stomach, causing her to curse everything viciously.

Until that day, when Shaoyin knelt in front of the bed and swore with tears in her eyes that she would keep the flesh and bones in his stomach under her knees and would never recognize her!

Those glittering eyes were so sincere, not only did it break the defenses in her heart, it also made her feel extremely guilty. That was why she treated Shaoyin as a sister, but she never thought that in the end, it would still be …

Fortunately, she insisted on not having Jin Wei under her name. She was even more thankful to the heavens for allowing her to give birth to Lan Er.

Madame SHen's tears flowed like a dam that had burst. Her facial expression looked as though she was crying yet also smiling in a mournful manner, causing Jin Lan to feel a pinch in her heart.
