t.i.tle: The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 267 - Perhaps, there was still something left (2)

”My lord, every single time in the past, you didn't believe Wan-er. Are you going to not believe Wan-er this time either?” Tears fell from Wen Wan's eyes. ”Back then, didn't you say that it wasn't important if I gave birth to a son? It only mattered that the child was the one that I had given birth to. Since you had said those words, why would I go through the trouble of switching the two babies?”

”Moreover, after giving birth, I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes to look. How could I have the strength to change my baby for Liu Hanyun's? My lord, you were the one that choose Midwife Yang and brought her into the estate...”

Ji Man clapped her hands. ”Speaking of that midwife, I've already sent people to bring her over. But, she probably won't get here until tomorrow. My lord, if you want to find out the truth, there's no harm in waiting another day, right?”

Liu Hanyun was still calmly holding Yun-er, but once Wen Wan heard these words, she looked at Nie Sangyu in utter shock.

Ning Yuxuan finally spoke, but his voice sounded extremely exhausted. ”Alright. Since you can find that midwife, then we'll discuss this matter tomorrow. You can all leave.”

”My lord...” Wen Wan tearfully called out.

”Leave!” Marquis Moyu was truly furious. He even flung the small table, which had been used to play the Chinese chess, in their direction. The group of women was so scared that the color faded from their faces.

Dragging Liu Hanyun along with her, Ji Man ran away the quickest. They went past the doorway and disappeared like fleeing rabbits.

Xi-er had been left behind with the old monk. Every step that Liu Hanyun took, she would turn her head back to look. In her arms, Yun-er wouldn't stop crying. It felt as if a dense ma.s.s of dark clouds had formed above the estate.

A few words by an old monk had been enough to dredge up the old water in the estate's pond.

After Ji Man comforted Liu Hanyun, she went back to her room and had a wonderful night of dreamless sleep.

Wen Wan was so anxious that she couldn't stay still. Overcome with worry, she kept pacing back and forth, but she didn't know what to do.

In the woodshed, Muxu was also unable to sleep the entire night.

The next morning, Ji Man went to handle Muxu's matter first in high spirits.

If a woman violated one of the seven reasons for divorce, then the matter would normally be settled by her husband divorcing her. But, Muxu had put a green hat on the marquis, and the matter absolutely couldn't be simply settled with divorce. Ji Man didn't let past feelings influence her decision. After the servants tied up Li Zixiu and Muxu up, they were brought to a lake that was outside of the capital, Tianhu Lake, along with a swaddled bundle, to be drowned.

”What a heartless person. She's not even willing to let off a baby.”

”Yeah, that baby is so young. What evil could it had possibly done?”

One after another, the nearby people were talking about this, but Ji Man pretended to not hear anything.

Muxu's hands were tied to the back of the carriage, and she was being dragged forward by it. Her voice was already hoa.r.s.e, and she shouted out one word, ”Master.”
