Splendid Twins

For a moment, the only sound around was the heavy rain.

Everyone who witnessed all this was so shocked that their eyes were bloodshot!

The Crown Prince's Consort was the first to step forward, glaring at Wei fiercely, and then said in a deep voice:

"Someone come quickly, call the palace doctor!"

The Duchess's wife felt the scene before her eyes spinning and she felt dizzy. She knelt weakly on the ground. The Crown Prince's wife did not dare to touch her and only supported her lightly.

“You’re going too far!”

"Where do you think you will put your uncle? When father and the prince come back, you should think about how to explain it to them!"

Wei looked at the Crown Prince's Consort coldly. The anger coming out of her mouth seemed to have no effect on her.

Her eyes were calm, and there was no ripple in her heart, as if she was dealing with a trivial matter.

The curses echoed in the air, and I could not hear any sound. Suddenly, my throat tightened and a strong smell of blood surged up...

In the evening, it rained heavily, as if the sky was torn apart, and endless drops of water poured down, shrouding the whole world in a haze.

The imperial physician examined the wound carefully with trembling hands, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.

After a while, he slowly said:

"The tip of the knife has penetrated deep into her heart and lungs. Even if we can pull it out, I'm afraid that Madam will die from the serious injuries."

There was helplessness and sadness in his words. He heard on the way here that the Duke and the Crown Prince were away, and the mansion was in chaos!

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank and their eyes fell on the pale and painful face of the Duke's wife.

She closed her eyes tightly, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and blood from her chest was still oozing out, staining her clothes red and everyone's eyes red.

The court doctor sighed again and shook his head, saying, "With such injuries, there is really no way to save her. We can only try our best to alleviate her pain and let her pass away peacefully."

No one questioned the words of the palace physician. He was an old imperial physician who had retired from the palace and was honored by the Duke of Zhenguo to be kept in the palace to take care of the old lady's health.

He is a skilled doctor, and the fact that he has spoken means that there is really no hope...

As soon as these words came out, the tears that the Crown Princess had been holding back for a long time flowed down. She was somewhat disgusted with her mother-in-law's behavior, but now that she knew that her mother-in-law was in danger, she felt very uncomfortable...

Wei on the side had been suppressed by two sturdy maids, who had a domineering attitude and obviously no longer treated her as the third wife.

At this moment, Wei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, stared at the Duke's wife and laughed out loud: "Hahahaha!"

The laughter seemed particularly harsh in this silent and depressing atmosphere, full of madness and twisted joy, as if she had found some kind of catharsis at this moment.

“It’s better to die, it’s better to die!!”

"Zhang, you will die in my hands after all!"

The old lady was frightened, and when she heard Wei's crazy words, she felt extremely angry and desperate.

Her body trembled with anger and grief, as if a cold wind penetrated her body and made her unable to control herself.

It's too late to say anything now. The hatred between these two people is deep-rooted and it is not something that can be put aside with ordinary counseling. All we can say is that things in this world are unpredictable...

"Madam, you wanted me to marry the Third Master back then. Do you regret that now?"

Wei spat out a mouthful of black blood, looked at the old lady, and questioned with trembling lips. Her voice was weak, but full of deep resentment and sorrow!

The old lady's face turned pale instantly, as if these words had hurt somewhere deep in her heart. She wanted to open her mouth to refute, but found that she could not speak.

She recalled that she had indeed strongly advocated this marriage and believed that her youngest son and she were a perfect match made in heaven.

Although the youngest son is weak, with the Duke's Mansion protecting him, it is not a big deal to ensure his lifelong prosperity. However, the parents love their son and have long-term plans for him. The title of the Duke's Mansion is passed down from generation to generation. If her youngest son does not have a powerful wife, how will the younger generation survive in the future?

She carefully selected noble ladies who met the requirements to go to the capital. The girl from Taifu Wei's mansion was very good. She was favored by the emperor when she first entered the palace. As the Taifu's mansion became more famous, the girl who was to be married also became famous.

The bad thing is that this Wei... actually fell in love with the eldest son. How could a brother's wife fall in love with the eldest uncle? Such a scandal can only be suppressed. I thought that once she is married into the family, she will be able to live a good life once she settles down...

However, now it seems that this decision has become a disaster. Wei's behavior makes her heartbroken, and her son has suffered endless pain because of it!

The old lady's heart was filled with regret and self-blame. She knew that her decision was a mistake, but the tragedy had already happened.

Looking at the daughter-in-law in front of me who was once gentle and lovely, and now has become so haggard and desperate, my heart is filled with mixed feelings.

I wanted to say something to comfort her, but found that any words seemed so pale and powerless.

In the end, the old lady could only lower her head silently, allowing the regret and self-blame to spread in her heart.

"Oh, I regret it, but it's too late for you to regret it!"

Wei understood the old lady's expression. Her eyes were red, like burning flames, full of indomitable spirit and anger!

"This is called reaping the fruits of one's own actions! You were attracted by the power of the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the favor of the Imperial Concubine Wei, and thought I was valuable, so you forced me to marry you regardless of my wishes. I hate you so much!"

The old lady was speechless...

"I had been looking forward to having a child of my own, but... my child has a bad fate. Once born, it means that he will be born with congenital deficiencies and become a monster that everyone hates. When I think that such a disgusting disease was brought by his father, I want to kill someone!"

Wei thought of the bitter soup she drank for the loss of her child, and tears started to fall from her eyes, filling her throat with sadness and bitterness.

"Why does Zhang show off in front of me? Why does she have both a son and a daughter?"

"I want her to experience the pain of losing a child. Zhou Wan shouldn't be alive in this world!"

"I was kind and let her grow up, haha, but she is also useless. Look at what she did. She doesn't act like a good girl at all!"

"puff!!"

"I... I am waiting to see the retribution from the Duke's Mansion..."

Wei spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell down, her eyes fixed on the old lady. When Zhou Wan was brought in, she knew it was over, so she took the poison that was originally prepared for Mr. Zhou San!

It was a pity that Mr. Zhou San was recuperating at the farm, and she didn't get the chance. Unexpectedly, the medicine ended up in her mouth...

The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing. The old lady fainted when she saw Wei's eyes, which were still open. The Crown Prince's wife was unable to take care of both. The second wife was so scared that her hands and feet were cold. It was Zhou Ying who spoke up bravely:

"House doctor, please check on Third Aunt..."

The court doctor didn't need to do anything. Just by looking at Wei's darkened lips and dull eyes, he knew that she was dead...

Hearing the noise in the house, the man guarding the door turned his head slightly, then left expressionlessly. The task assigned by the Duke was completed, and there was no need for him to stay any longer!
