Chapter 701: Two wicked women
Wu Mama’s boy tremble in fear and hung her head lowly. She no longer dared to look at Concubine Xiang in the eyes. She was so scared inside her heart, but also very puzzled. A few days ago, the marquis was still gentle, why he was so fierce today?
Pei Qinghan asked calmly: “I will ask you again. If you said a half-word false, don’t blame me for being merciless. Don’t think I don’t know what your son is doing on weekdays.”
Wu Mama’s heart trembled and cold sweat came out from her forehead. She busily said: “Houye, don’t hesitate to ask, this old lady knows everything!”
Pei Qinghan asked: “You were the one who helped the madam give birth. I remember that my wife suddenly gave birth because she fell. The doctor who came said the child was born prematurely, but why did you say later on that the child was born a full-term? Tell me, is the child born prematurely or full-term?”
Wu Mama’s mind was in a mess. She wanted to look at Concubine Xiang, but she didn’t dare to do so. She had no choice but to decide on her own.
“Answering back the Houye, back then, it was indeed this old lady who delivered the baby. When the child was born, it indeed looks like a premature baby. But at that time, the baby was crying loudly, this old lady felt that it was similar to a full-term baby. This old lady couldn’t remember what exactly the child was born at that time.”
Pei Qinghan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. She couldn’t remember? She couldn’t remember such a thing?
“You could even remember what that child looked like at the time. But now you are telling me that you can’t remember if the child was born prematurely? Are you playing with me?”
Wu Mama busily knocked her head on the floor in panic. She gritted her teeth and said: “Houye, the child indeed looks like a premature baby, but Concubine Xiang said that the child was very healthy and crying loudly like a full-term baby. And since the mother and daughter were safe, she said saying it premature birth will bring them bad luck, so I must say that it was full-term, then she gave me 10 gold coins as a reward. This old woman was stupid and only knew later on how important it was, but, but—” She couldn’t say the rest of her words, she couldn’t afford it.
Pei Qinghan looked at the two women in the room. One was his concubine, whom he had loved for more than 10 years, and the other one was the midwife he had believed in. In front of these two, he felt so ridiculous, sad, and pathetic!
“Someone come, drag these two wicked women out, locked them in the firewood room, and let them wait for their fate.” He closed his eyes and said calmly.
Locked into the firewood room?
Song Hexiang immediately raised her head and looked at Pei Qinghan with incredible eyes. What did he just say? Locked her in the firewood room? On the coldest day of the year? He wanted to lock her in the firewood room? Is he asking her to die just because of that woman?
For that woman, their love for more than 10 years was not counted?
Are all the sweet words he said since the beginning was not counted?
She knelt and walked forward, then said while clutching Pei Qinghan’s sleeve tightly: “Houye, this concubine is guilty. Please forgive me this time and let me off for the sake of serving you for all these years!”
Pei Qinghan waved his hand and pushed her away. The gentleness and affection in his eyes that had always been there when he looked at her had disappeared, leaving nothing but disgust and coldness.
“Song Hexiang, you still have the face to ask me to forgive you? Do you know what kind of mistake you committed? Because of your unreasonable calculations, I lost my beloved daughter and wife. This Changyuan Houfu is also greatly implicated. What you did is not a small mistake, killing you in our ancestral hall is not even enough to fix everything.”
