Shi Qingxue hesitated.
There was a moment of silence, under Shi Junhe's almost pleading eyes.
She gave up the simple and crude method of 'body test' to let Leng Yan reveal her true colors.
Just when Leng Yan was feeling proud again, Shi Qingxue took out a pill from her arms and handed it to Leng Yan.
Facing Leng Yan's doubtful gaze, she smiled lightly and said: "Since you don't want to prove your identity, I won't force you! Have you taken this medicine?"
"What is this? Leng Yan stared at the pill warily, unwilling to move.
What a joke, if she took this medicine even though she knew Shi Qingxue was hostile to her, she would be a fool.
"Don't worry, it won't kill you!" Shi Qingxue could see Leng Yan's thoughts at a glance, and explained to her with a faint smile: "Not only is it harmless to you, it's also a great tonic!"
Leng Yan looked at Shi Qingxue suspiciously, still not believing it.
That look seemed to be asking: Are you so kind
Shi Qingxue nodded matter-of-factly, indicating that she had always been a very nice person.
Then he said slowly: "But there are a few herbs added to this Shiquan Datong, I just don't know if you would mind?"
"What medicine?" Leng Yan asked quickly.
"Safflower and musk..."
Just when Shi Qingxue opened her mouth, she saw Leng Yan's expression change instantly.
She was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "But since you said you are not pregnant, taking these two herbs will not only not be harmful to your body, but also help you strengthen your body.
How about it? Eat it? "
Shi Qingxue deliberately pushed the pill in front of Leng Yan, urging her to take it quickly.
Leng Yan stared at the pill in Shi Qingxue's hand, unable to make up her mind to take it.
Once she eats it, her child will really not be safe.
However, at this moment, she didn't even have the power to refuse.
There was no way she could use her previous excuses to refuse to take the pills.
After all, taking a tonic - in Shi Qingxue's words, it was for her own good.
If Leng Yan is not pregnant.
"How about it? It's just a tonic, can't this be decided?" Shi Qingxue urged slowly.
Lengyan raised his head resentfully, glared at Shi Qingxue fiercely, and silently expressed his grievances: Have I offended you? Why are you targeting me like this
Shi Qingxue looked at her calmly, and his eyes were even colder than hers: Humph! It was you who provoked my mother first, and now I just return it to you intact. By the way, charge some interest.
Leng Yan was the one with a guilty conscience in the end. When Shi Qingxue saw it, he suddenly lost all confidence.
She lowered her eyes, with thousands of thoughts in her mind.
On the one hand, there was no way she would give up the position that was within her reach; but on the other hand, Shi Qingxue's pill would make her only reliance disappear.
And she proved her 'innocence' by eating it, and I'm afraid it won't end well next, but...
Leng Yan thought about it, squeezed her thigh hard, and finally made a decision.
She looked up at Shi Qingxue again, tremblingly took the pill from his hand, and said word by word: "Okay, I'll take it!"
Gathering the pills in front of her, Leng Yan's eyes almost sparkled with tears.
No matter how much she destroys humanity, she still feels a little reluctant to do it.
After all, what is at stake now is the life of the fetus in her belly!
My child, don’t blame your mother.
Mother has no choice. For the sake of mother's glory and wealth, she has no choice but to sacrifice you!
If you want to blame, just blame the cruel family in front of you! They forced my mother to do this!
Leng Yan closed her eyes and suddenly stuffed the pill into her mouth.
But at the critical moment, a small hand came between her mouth and the pill.
Leng Yan opened her eyes and looked at Shi Qingxue and her little hands in astonishment.
"you… "
Shi Qingxue's expression was cold and serious. Under Leng Yan's stunned gaze, she snatched the pill and smiled coldly: "Although I want to tear apart all the scandals you have done, I am not cold-blooded enough to take one." Innocent lives taken under the knife.
Leng Yan, as the mother of a child, you are so cruel as to sacrifice the flesh and blood in your belly in order to preserve your own glory and wealth. Do you deserve to be a mother like you
Even if tiger poison doesn't eat its seeds, you! Worse than a beast! "
Leng Yan was so embarrassed by Shi Qingxue's to-the-point comments that she couldn't even raise her head.
Shi Qingxue looked at Leng Yan with an almost stern look, and said word by word: "Leng Yan, if you still have a little conscience, just admit the dirty things you have done! There is no impermeable wall in this world , do you really think you can hide it? I will give you one last chance to tell the truth, and maybe I can spare you for the sake of the innocent life in your belly. "
Leng Yan's guard was shattered by Shi Qingxue's precise and severe judgments one after another.
Don't say anything to refute, just really kowtow and admit what you have done.
Leng Yan stopped talking, his default attitude was in Shi Junhe's eyes, and Shi Junhe felt that he didn't need to ask further.
He looked at Leng Yan coldly and asked: "Whose child is it?"
Leng Yan raised his face and glanced at Shi Junhe sadly, with complicated eyes, and finally lowered his head again, remaining silent.
She knew that her aunt's dream of becoming a prince was completely shattered, but there was still a faint hope in her heart: even if the child she was carrying was not Shi Junhe's child, it was definitely the child of the Shi family. Shi Junhe doesn't want her anymore, maybe she can be married to the third wife.
Although Leng Yan hated the money-loving and lustful Third Master Shi Juncai who had nothing to do all day long, it was better to be a third-room concubine than to stay in Shou'an Hall and continue to be a maidservant as humble as a dog.
As long as her belly can fight for a while and give birth to a big fat boy, maybe there will be hope in the future...
Leng Yan made up her mind and gritted her teeth even more, refusing to reveal any more information.
Shi Junhe asked several times but got no response, which made him very angry.
Although he doesn't like Leng Yan at all, and this time he took a concubine purely to complete the task, it doesn't mean that he is willing to be fooled like a fool.
Not to mention being treated as a fool and remaining indifferent.
"Dad, don't be angry. Just leave this matter to me!" Shi Qingxue patted her chest and looked confident.
Shi Junhe stopped talking and took a step back to make way for Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue walked up to Leng Yan again, and just when she stood still, Leng Yan effectively shrank her neck.
Tsk, she was afraid of being like this before she said anything. Really...
"Since you can no longer hide your pregnancy, why do you insist on covering up other people? If you reveal the person who made you pregnant out of wedlock, or tell you who instigated you to fool my father, Yes. Maybe I can let you forget the blame?"
Shi Qingxue spoke slowly, her words full of temptation.
Leng Yan's heart was moved just by listening to it, and she almost wanted to tell the truth.
However, at the last moment, she still gritted her teeth and turned her face away, refusing to say anything.
"If you insist not to say anything, it means that you have to bear all the faults alone. Not to mention that my father will not let you go easily. I am afraid that even my grandmother will..." Shi Qingxue was good at tempting.
Another meaning of this is that if Leng Yan doesn't confess the 'adulterer', then Qingxue will expose the matter.
Leng Yan was made to be a concubine, but as a result, she got pregnant before marriage. Pork pen immersion might be a mild crime, but if she was more cruel, she might be directly burned at the stake.
However, Leng Yan didn't know what she was thinking about. After hearing Shi Qingxue's words, not only was she no longer afraid, she even looked at Qingxue proudly, her eyes seeming to say: Just say what you want! I'm not afraid. The worst case scenario is that we will die together.
Leng Yan's idea is not completely whimsical.
After all, as someone who cherishes her reputation so much, Mo Shujun will definitely not let this matter spread.
Under high pressure, no matter how unwilling the people in the house were, they had no choice but to keep it a secret.
But Leng Yan is still pregnant with Shi Juncai's seed. This is her magic weapon to protect herself. As long as the child is still there, she will be fine...
"Tsk."
Just when Leng Yan thought about it more and more, Shi Qingxue let out a sigh.
She looked at Leng Yan with a half-smile, and asked slowly: "Leng Yan, now that things have happened, you don't think that I really don't know who the child in your belly is, right?"
"What? You know?"
Shi Junhe interjected in surprise and looked at Qingxue doubtfully.
If Shi Qingxue really knew who that wild man was, then why didn't he just find out who he was and send him to the police? Why are he still so annoying
The Duke of Guo has never thought that the child in Leng Yan's belly is his biological brother Shi Juncai's. He also thought that Leng Yan didn't love himself and had an affair with some servant, and even tried to marry him to hide the truth.
Shi Qingxue gave Shi Junhe a calm look, then took out the note paper signed by Rou'er from his arms and flashed it in front of Leng Yan.
Seeing that the other party's face turned pale, he finally revealed the answer to the mystery and revealed Leng Yan's thoughts.
"Do you think that since you are pregnant with your third uncle's child, your grandmother will show mercy to you no matter what? But why don't you think about how, in order to save her most beloved son from such a huge scandal, she would 'destroy the body and destroy all traces' Woolen cloth?"
Deliberately emphasizing the words 'destroy corpses and eliminate traces' made Leng Yan lose control all of a sudden.
Leng Yan shouted excitedly at Shi Qingxue: "Impossible! The princess would never treat me like that! What I am carrying in my belly is the Shi family's child, how could she..."
The sharp shouts stopped suddenly, and Leng Yan met Shi Junhe's angry gaze, and was shocked to realize that he had let slip what he said, which was equivalent to admitting everything Shi Qingxue said.
At this time, Leng Yan simply broke the jar and shouted at the two of them: "That's right! The child in my belly belongs to the third master, so you can't do anything to me! No! Otherwise the eldest princess will not let her go. It’s your fault!”
Shi Qingxue sneered, not knowing how to judge Leng Yan's innocence.
She didn't bother to explain so much to the other party, and asked directly with a smile: "Do you think the unborn child in your belly is more important, or your grandmother's most precious son? You can give up your flesh and blood for glory and wealth without blinking an eye. If this child may threaten my third uncle's bright future, what do you think my grandmother will do?"
"I..." Before Leng Yan's momentum could rise, it instantly fell down.
Leng Yan understood that Shi Qingxue did not lie to her.
Mo Shujun was cruel, and as long as it was for Shi Juncai, she would definitely be able to clear all obstacles, including her and the unborn fetus in her belly.
