Chapter 593 - Climaxes Come One after Another (2/2)

The scarlet blood was a little trick Lin Mengya played. She had instructed someone to stuff it in the wax gourd in advance.

Seeing that it turned out to be a wax gourd, everyone seemed to be relieved.

“You keep telling me that children are innocent. What about Madam Xiao’s child? Could it be that her child deserves to be killed?”

Although the baby was fine, everything that had happened just now was real.

If Lin Mengya hadn’t prepared in advance, it would have been the baby’s head that was broken at the moment.

“We didn’t mean it… Madam Xiao intended to escape, so we…”

Their excuse became unconvincing. Lin Mengya glanced at the group of people, who still tried to argue irrationally, with her cold eyes.

“Escape? What has she done? Do you have any valid evidence? A country has its laws and a family has its rules. Which law on earth has she broken? Even the government didn’t punish her. What makes you think that you can say that she is guilty?”

Lin Mengya looked around. After the indignation, everyone seemed to have calmed down a little.

Therefore, her blame struck everyone’s heart.

“But someone saw with her own eyes that she hurt Madam Wu. Your Highness, you can’t harbor her like this!”

Lin Mengya glanced at the woman with her cold eyes, and her sneer became more and more chilling.

“Someone saw it with her own eyes? Well, I’d like to ask if she saw it with her own eyes that Madam Xiao pricked the silver needles in Madam Wu’s head? Since she saw it with her own eyes, why didn’t she stop Madam Xiao at that time? Instead, it was until now that she incited you in an affected way to kill a baby!”

Lin Mengya’s questions made those people’s arguments invalid and ridiculous.

Madam Wu suddenly got up from the ground with disappointment and grief in her watery eyes.

“In that case, Your Highness, you are not going to punish the culprit severely, are you? Well, I’m not afraid of death. Your Highness, please give my baby back to me so that my son and I can be companions on the way to death!”

Madam Wu said in a choked voice, and every word was heart-wrenching.

She seemed to imply that Lin Mengya really intended to hound them to death.

But Lin Mengya, with a faint smile, looked at the unusually grieved and indignant Madam Wu with her perceptive eyes.

“There is a saying that even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. You are quite devoted. You not only court death but also want your baby to die with you. However, I have never said that I will not severely punish the culprit. Just as you said, I will not let go of the culprit.”

Lin Mengya’s words stunned everyone.

Madam Wu insisted that Madam Xiao was the culprit. What was more, Madam Xiao attempted to rush out of the camp with her baby in her arms, which became the evidence.

But it seemed that Lin Mengya didn’t mean to punish Madam Xiao. Was there something else behind it?

When Madam Wu heard that, a trace of fear flashed across her eyes.

Nevertheless, when she heard that Lin Mengya was going to severely punish the culprit, she couldn’t help showing a little complacency.

However, it didn’t last long. Lin Mengya’s words stunned her on the spot.

“Madam Wu, you tried to set up Madam Xiao and pretend to be the real Madam Wu in an attempt to deceive and confuse the public. Do you admit what you have done?”

Her words created a real buzz among the crowd in an instant.

Madam Wu looked at Lin Mengya in astonishment, as if she had said something outrageous.

“Your Highness, even if you want to get Madam Xiao off the hook, you shouldn’t slander me like that! Besides, you brought us here. I’m the real Madam Wu. Please don’t talk nonsense!”

Madam Wu said in rage and looked at Lin Mengya with vigilance and disdain in her eyes.

However, Lin Mengya did not get exasperated because of her denial.

Instead, she crouched down, patted Madam Xiao’s face, and said.

“Sister Xiao, get up.”

Hearing her soft voice, Madam Xiao woke up slowly.

However, she obviously shrank when she saw Lin Mengya with her eyes, which had turned red from crying.

Then she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Mengya with embarrassment.

“Sister Mengya, I…”

Lin Mengya smiled at her gently. Finally, she rubbed the acupuncture points on the top of her head and helped her, who was weak and limp, up.

“You did a good job. Even I was almost convinced. Nevertheless, I’m really sorry for asking you to take the wax gourd as your baby.”

Lin Mengya comforted Madam Xiao in a soft voice. She had spent a long time talking it over with Madam Xiao about what happened today.

She didn’t expect that, perhaps because of anxiety, Madam Xiao really regarded the wax gourd as her baby.

The heart-wrenching pain could not be faked.

Meanwhile, the onlookers were all confused. What was going on?

“You said you are Madam Wu, the mother of the baby. However, when you were in danger, you have never protected your baby.”

Lin Mengya turned around and stared coldly at the woman in front of her.

In fact, since the day Madam Wu went crazy, she had sensed that Madam Wu and her baby were weird.

“When you went crazy, you almost smashed the baby. I ask you, is it true?”
