Chapter 427 Leaving no ans Untried, and Who Will Give An Account to Whom?
“You are talking nonsense!” Ling Huanian’s body trembled when he heard about the Intoxicating Peach Blossom Wine. He hurriedly cried out in a stern voice.
Ning Zu’an, standing on one side, looked at Ling Huanian’s face suspiciously, and his eyes were filled with coldness and anger.
“You will know whether it is nonsense or not. God is watching your every move. Do you think you and Madam Ling can get away from the retribution?” Ning Xueyan said coldly and lightly. She took two steps inside and looked at Madam Ling, who was lying on the bed with a pale face. There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
Ling Huanian did not want to talk about the past, so he changed the topic and said angrily, while pointing to Madam Ling, who was lying on the bed, “Well, let’s not talk about anything else. It is about the fact that you pushed your mother today.”
“Who saw that?” Ning Xueyan asked lightly.
“I... there is no need to say anything more. Why did the First Madam suddenly fall down at the door when she was inside? And she said that. If it was not you, why would the First Madam say that? The First Madam must have heard you coming and hurriedly got up from the bed to greet you. I can’t believe that you were so vicious.”
Mother Chen also collected her breath now and pointed at Ning Xueyan angrily. Today, it seed that the child in Madam Ling’s belly could not be saved anymore. If she did not try her best, she might be beaten to death by Madam Ling. Therefore, she tried her best to fra Ning Xueyan. Anyway, the Fifth Young Lady could not explain the current situation clearly.
“Shut up! Stop arguing!” Before Ning Xueyan could say anything, Ning Zu’an suddenly beca furious and kicked Mother Chen to the ground. He looked at the doctor who stood up from the bed and asked, “How is she?”
Mother Chen was kicked so hard that she did not have ti to say anything. She fell directly, hit a pillar on one side, and fainted.
“Doctor, how is my sister? Can the child be saved?” Ling Huanian also rushed over and asked urgently.
“The child can’t be saved anymore,” the doctor stood up and replied.
“How can this child...” Ling Huanian looked more sorrowful than Ning Zu’an. “If she can give birth to a baby, the Lord Protector’s Manor will have one more offspring. The child can share so of the responsibility of the Lord Protector’s Manor in the future.”
“Marquis... Marquis, it is all my fault. It is . The Fifth Young Lady, the Fifth Young Lady...” Madam Ling tried her best to hold back the pain, as her tears dripped down her face. In the past, Ning Zu’an might have been affected. Seeing what had happened just now, he had not regained his senses yet. But now, he seed to calm down. He looked at Madam Ling... without any response.
This made Madam Ling feel inexplicably guilty. Usually, Ning Zu’an would not be so calm. Children had always been a big issue in the Lord Protector’s Manor. The baby was gone, but Ning Zu’an stood by the side and said nothing. He looked at Madam Ling with a gloomy face.
“Is he blaming for not protecting the child well? Or did he discover sothing...”
Lanning took a step forward and asked inadvertently, “Doctor, why was it so easy for her to have a miscarriage? Her baby was gone after she was lying on the ground for a while.”
“Well...” The doctor hesitated for a mont as if he could not say anything for a while.
“What is the reason? Tell quickly.” Ling Huanian thought that the doctor would say that she had been pushed, so he shouted at him hurriedly.
“This... this madam... had fetal deterioration, so...” The doctor said this in a vague manner. It was not that he did not want to say it, but he was afraid of being responsible for it. When his father went to the countryside, he told him to try not to get involved in this kind of affairs. Otherwise, he would not know how he would die in the end.
What’s more, judging from the scene in front of him, he also knew that this matter would not be that easy to resolve.
“How could it be possible? My sister has given birth to several children, and she never had any fetal deterioration. Even if she fell down accidentally, it would not have been a big deal. Why can’t my sister keep the baby in her belly as soon as the Fifth Young Lady ca today?”
Like Madam Ling, Ling Huanian wanted to bla Ning Xueyan. She had been fine when she fell to the ground, but now that sothing like this happened, she must have been pushed. The result would be different if one was pushed or had fallen accidentally on the ground.
“Well...” The doctor raised his head and looked at Ning Zu’an. Then, he looked at Ning Xueyan, who was so calm, on the other side. In the end, he looked at Ling Huanian, who was so anxious. He could not say a word. At first glance, one could tell that there was so reservation in his words. He did not dare to say or could not say so words.
Seeing that the doctor was still hesitating, Ning Zu’an said in a cold voice, impatiently, “Take him to the yan and punish him for murdering the child of the Lord Protector’s Manor.”
Was he going to be punished for murdering the child of the Lord Protector’s Manor? The doctor was shocked, so he did not care about anything else at this ti. He shook his hands quickly and shouted, “Marquis, please spare my life. I will tell you. This madam’s fetus was abnormal.”
“What do you an by abnormal?” Ning Xueyan asked.
Now, the doctor did not care about anything else. He explained, as sweat dripped from his head, “This madam must have used so folk prescription before she got pregnant, so she conceived in an abnormal way.”
Hearing this, Madam Ling, who was lying on the bed, could not help trembling. Regardless of her belly, she pointed at the doctor and scread, “You are talking nonsense!” Then, she seed to want to get up from the bed. Her ferocious look scared the doctor so much that his face turned pale. He stuttered, and could not say anything.
“If you talk nonsense, you will be sent to the feudal office,” Ning Xueyan said coldly.
“There is a folk prescription. People who use this prescription can almost always get pregnant, but this child can’t be born. Not to ntion having a fall, even if she gets up abruptly, she will have a miscarriage. Moreover, even if she gives birth to a child, the child will either die or be a dullard. The child is useless. Ordinary people will not use such a prescription to get pregnant. Generally, the First Madam in the manor will secretly give this kind of prescription to a concubine.”
As soon as he heard that he would be sent to the feudal officials, the doctor imdiately told them everything.
“No, I did not use any folk prescriptions. Marquis, he was sent by the Fifth Young Lady to fra . He wanted to help the Fifth Young Lady to get rid of the bad thing she did, Marquis.” At this ti, Madam Ling did not care about anything else. She jumped down from the bed and hugged Ning Zu’an’s thigh, crying loudly.
“It is true. The reason why I know is because there is a human placenta in this dicine. The person who used this dicine will have a fishy sll for a while. The fragrance can’t suppress it. Madam should not have stopped using this dicine for a long ti, as she still has this kind of fishy sll.” Hearing Madam Ling said that he was colluding with others, the doctor imdiately shouted.
When he entered the room, he slled sothing strange, but he did not dare to say anything. At this ti, when he heard that Madam Ling was trying to fra him, he did not care about it anymore and revealed everything.
The fishy sll could not be covered up by any fragrance. Ning Zu’an imdiately thought of Madam Ling’s stuffy room. The sll inside was very fragrant, but even if it was very fragrant, Ning Zu’an could still sll a fishy sll when he just walked in.
Madam Ling said that she ate so fish, so there was a fishy sll. The reason why the odor had not faded was that Madam Ling was afraid of catching a cold. Such a contrast made Ning Zu’an realize imdiately that the doctor was telling the truth. Otherwise, at such an old age, how could Madam Ling be pregnant?
From the fragrance, Ning Zu’an thought of sothing else. Every ti he went to Madam Ling’s room, he would feel hot when he sat there for a while. Then he would sleep with Madam Ling. At first, he wondered if he still had feelings for Madam Ling. Otherwise, why couldn’t he control himself every ti he saw Madam Ling?
He suddenly thought that since Madam Ling could get this kind of folk prescription, she also could have given him a drug.
Upon thinking that he, as the Lord Protector, had been frad by such a vicious woman, Ning Zu’an’s face turned green, then white. Ignoring Madam Ling’s physical condition, he kicked her hard and cursed, “Bi*ch!”
Madam Ling did not expect that Ning Zu’an would be so heartless. She was kicked back violently. If it had not been for Ling Huanian, who was behind her, Madam Ling would have been kicked to the side of the bed and would have hit against it.
“Marquis, what do you an?” Seeing that Ning Zu’an did not care about his sister, who was in such a bad condition, Ling Huanian also beca furious. He shouted at him, while trying to protect her.
At this ti, Ning Zu’an wanted to devour Madam Ling. He stared at Madam Ling, who was lying behind Ling Huanian, with an evil eye. If Ling Huanian had not been standing in front of Madam Ling, he would have kicked Madam Ling to death. He clenched his teeth in bitter hatred.
What did this an? He, a Lord Protector, had been frad by a woman, and also drugged by her. If this matter was made known publicly, he would be ashad and could not show his face at the imperial court.
“What do I an? Your good sister fell to the ground herself. Yan’er had not entered the door yet, and I entered first. How could it be Yan’er who pushed her? Yan’er was still outside the door at that ti. How could she push her? This vicious woman, she did not want the baby in her belly, so she tried to fra Yan’er. Well, well, do you want to go with to et the emperor? Let us go now and see how you, Vice Minister of Justice’s Manor, can give us an explanation.”
Ning Zu’an could not talk about that matter. Now, he could only talk about the thing in front of him. He reached out to point at Madam Ling and reproached her harshly. Veins stood out on his forehead, and his face darkened.
Ning Zu’an entered the door first, and Ning Xueyan had not entered yet. Madam Ling and Ling Huanian were both stunned. Ling Huanian did not know what to say for a while. All the evidence in front of them showed that Ning Xueyan pushed Madam Ling and made her miscarry. However, Ning Zu’an, who should have stood up for Madam Ling, had given his version of the event.
Suddenly, Madam Ling scread, “It is impossible. It is impossible. It can’t be like this.”
She had done everything she could to wait for Ning Xueyan to fall into her trap. She had bet everything on a single throw of the dice, but she ended up like this. For a mont, she could not bear it. Her voice was sharp and horrible. She sat up with her hair disheveled, threw herself at Ning Xueyan, and grabbed her face with both hands.
How could this happen? How could it be like this? She had planned this for such a long ti. How could it end like this? No, she would never let Ning Xueyan off. She would never let her go.
