Chapter 1251: Chapter 1257: Suspicion (3)
Du Wanqing’s heart quivered, and panic showed on her face. If it weren’t for the thick layer of ointnt she had applied to her skin, her panic would certainly have been caught by Mo Zili’s eyes.
She mustered a smile, “Zili, what is it?”
Mo Zili firmly looked into her eyes and said, “How exactly did you lose the baby? Did Xiang Yun really push you?”
Du Wanqing exclaid, “Zili, what do you an by that? If the Young Madam didn’t push , how could our child have been lost? Could it be that you suspect I intentionally fell to cause the miscarriage and fra the Young Madam?”
With that, her body started trembling slightly, feebly collapsing on the couch, tears streaming down like rain.
Unfortunately, this performance did not evoke the intended effect of appearing delicate and pathetic, like a pear blossom with rain. With the thick layer of ointnt that resembled bird droppings sared on her face, diluted by her tears, it turned into a watery ss, which was utterly disgusting.
“How can you treat this way? I just lost our child, and now I almost wish I could have followed him. How can you question at a ti like this? Pouring salt on my wounds…”
Mo Zili was unmoved by her crying and performance, remaining seated, his bright eyes locking onto her.
“I’m asking you one more ti, did she push you or not? Just answer yes or no.”
Du Wanqing lifted her now yellow and green face, shaking her head vigorously, sobbing incoherently, “No, it’s not true, Zili, you can’t suspect …”
Mo Zili stood up, speaking indifferently, “I understand. Rest now.” After finishing his words, he strode out of the room.
Once he was far away, Du Wanqing stopped crying and quietly called over Old Lady Zhang to ask, “What’s happening? Why did the young master suddenly bring this up? What has he been doing today, who has he t? Go find out.”
“Yes!” Old Lady Zhang readily agreed and hurried out.
Yingyu walked in and seeing Du Wanqing’s tear-streaked face, hurriedly said, “Miss, why have you been crying? Look, the ointnt has been washed away. Quick, let help you apply so more.”
Du Wanqing touched her face gently, saying with distress, “It’s been several days, and the scar is still so red, why isn’t it healing at all? Could it be that the ointnt isn’t effective?”
Yingyu, with an unchanged expression, said, “Look at what you’re saying. This was prescribed by Doctor Qiao, and who is Doctor Qiao? He is an expert at treating skin diseases. Rember Jin Guifei had a cut on her abdon, it was Doctor Qiao’s ointnt that restored the skin smooth and unscarred. It’s just that this ointnt works slowly, don’t worry. You’re currently recuperating, and by the ti your body is well-nourished, the ointnt will have taken effect!”
“Ah, I hope so!”
Du Wanqing sighed. Now, Mo Zili had started to doubt her. With such a face, she indeed was not pleasing to n. Before, a tearful look from her eyes would make him believe anything she said, rushing to do whatever she asked. But now, her face could no longer help her!
She earnestly hoped for a quick recovery.
Yingyu re-applied the ointnt for Du Wanqing, then carefully put away the porcelain jar and left the room.
Once outside, Yingyu couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, sneering as she glanced towards the house, “Foolish woman, thinking that by capturing Young Master Li’s heart, she could secure a place in this house. Absurd. She must know that in the Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, without the Grandmother and the Madams’ approval, no matter how much Young Master Li loves or dotes on her, it’s futile. The Grandmother and the Madams have been managing the Back House all their lives, and what they are best at handling are the restless foxes of the Back House!”
