After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

When Su Chenghe and Chen Yuehua separated, both of them were out of breath and looked miserable. They no longer had the elegance and gentleness of the master and mistress of Dingbei Palace.

"You two are really getting more and more successful as time goes by! For a wet nurse who is not worthy of being shown to the public, the two of you would fight so hard. It is really amazing."

Princess Du did not hide the disgust in her tone as she coldly scolded the couple from the main house who were sitting on her left and right.

After being blatantly ridiculed by their stepmother in public, Su Chenghe and Chen Yuehua, who had calmed down, suddenly became ugly again.

"A mere wet nurse is capable of stirring up unrest in the family. She's quite capable!"

Prince Dingbei, who had been wearing a cold expression, suddenly said, "Mother Zhao, go feed the young lady the hawthorns that she didn't finish! We in the Prince Dingbei Palace never deliberately torture servants. If she eats the hawthorns and nothing happens, then even if we have wronged her, we will reward her with a hundred taels of silver to calm her nerves."

When they heard about the one hundred taels of silver to calm the nerves, the servants' eyes lit up. The prince was really generous!

According to their monthly salary of one to two taels of silver, these one hundred taels of silver are equivalent to their monthly salary for more than five years!

If Zhang was really wronged, she could get a hundred taels of silver for free just by kneeling for a while and eating a hawthorn. It was a stroke of luck and enough to make her happy!

But Zhang, the person involved, who had repeatedly requested to taste the candied haws to prove her innocence, showed no sign of surprise. Instead, she trembled slightly and her face turned pale. How could this expression be considered joyful? It looked more like mourning.

Su Chenghe couldn't bear it and spoke again: "Father."

"Shut up, you evil creature!"

Prince Dingbei interrupted him without hesitation, glanced at Zhang, who was trembling on the ground, with disgust, and ordered Mother Zhao directly, "Take down that half hawthorn and feed it directly to this woman!"

Mother Zhao took out the hawthorn with a missing corner and walked towards Zhang who was lying on the ground.

The bright red hawthorns are huge in size and covered with a thick layer of syrup. They have a plump and attractive luster in the sun and look very delicious.

Zhang on the ground screamed as if she had seen a poisonous snake. She pressed her hands on both sides of the ground and quickly retreated backwards, shouting, "I won't eat this hawthorn! I won't eat this hawthorn!"

"Hold her down and feed her!" Seeing Zhang retreating, Princess Du loudly ordered the servant.

The old woman responded and was about to hold Zhang down, but she saw Zhang crawling quickly towards Su Chenghe, still shouting, "Master, save this slave, save this slave!"

Seeing this, Jin Chu sneered inwardly. They were indeed a pair of dogs who had become a couple without anyone noticing!

Su Chenghe was about to open his mouth when Princess Du spoke first, threatening him with a hidden meaning in her words: "Zhang, don't drag the boss into this. The couple just had a fight because of you. Are you planning to drag the boss into this again?"

Zhang was startled and stopped moving towards Su Chenghe. The two maids took this opportunity to hold her down and drag her back to the center of the room.

Princess Du nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Zhang, since you made this hawthorn yourself, why don't you just eat it obediently? This will allow everyone here to witness your innocence."

After saying this, Princess Du signaled Mother Zhao to go forward and feed Zhang the hawthorn.

Seeing that the deadly hawthorn was already at her lips, Zhang's eyes widened and she shook her head desperately and struggled.

"No! No! No!"

She screamed miserably, "This is poisonous! I can't eat it! I can't eat it!"

Princess Du sneered, "You made this with your own hands, and you admitted that you didn't poison it. So where did the poison come from? You should eat it and prove your innocence!"

Zhang no longer cared about anything else. She turned her head towards Su Chenghe and pleaded loudly, "Master, Master, please save me! I can't die!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Su Chenghe.

His body was shaking, his fists were clenched, and his lips were trembling for a long time without saying a word.

"Okay, it turns out you're the one who wants to harm my Ying'er! If my Ying'er can eat it, why can't you?"

Amidst the angry scolding, Chen Yuehua stood up, snatched the hawthorn from Mother Zhao's hand, and tried to force it into Zhang's mouth.

Zhang was so anxious that she cried and snotted, and dodged the hawthorn in Chen Yuehua's hand with a "wuwuwu" sound. Seeing that she couldn't stuff it in, Chen Yuehua was filled with anger and stood up and kicked Zhang hard in the stomach.

There was a shrill scream, and the two old women were so scared that they let go. Zhang collapsed to the ground, holding her stomach. She convulsed a few times with an extremely painful expression, and then a small line of blood flowed from under her body.

"My stomach hurts so much, uncle, our child, our child! Please save our child!" Zhang hugged her stomach and cried softly.

Several sensible maids moved away. It was obvious that Zhang was pregnant with the master's child!

Chen Yuehua was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized what was happening. She turned back to Su Chenghe, whose face was already pale, her eyes filled with hatred. "So, you two have been secretly colluding for a long time, so you planned to poison me and Ying'er. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Su Chenghe, Ying'er is your own flesh and blood, how could you have the heart to kill her? You two adulterers are so cruel and inhumane!"

"Ms. Chen, don't lie! Ying'er is my flesh and blood, how could I harm her?" Su Chenghe retorted in a timid manner.

"Who poisoned Ying'er's candied haws? Without your permission, would that bitch Zhang have dared to poison the Crown Prince's wife or Ying'er on her own initiative?"

Chen Yuehua burst into tears and cursed with gnashing teeth, "You are so cruel and ruthless!"

Seeing more and more blood flowing from Zhang's body, Su Chenghe felt sad inwardly. This child was destined to be lost, and now he could only sacrifice the car to save the driver!

He pointed at Zhang and said, "Ying'er said my second brother and his wife loved the hawthorn candied haws that Zhang made. I only asked Zhang to make a few strings of candied haws herself. How could I have expected that Zhang would take it upon herself to poison them?"

"You really don't know that this candied haws is poisoned?" Chen Yuehua confirmed with hesitation.

"Of course I don't know. Let alone my second brother's wife, Ying'er is my own flesh and blood. I would never harm her even if I wanted to."

He met Chen Yuehua's gaze with sincerity, then looked at Zhang lying on the ground with a look of grief and anger, and scolded her harshly, "Zhang, you are so bold that you secretly poisoned the Crown Prince's Consort and the eldest daughter. My Anhe Court has treated you well in the past, how could you have the heart to do this?"

Hearing this, Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief as she weakly complained, "Master, I'm carrying your child. You were the one who told me to poison that hawthorn. You even gave me the poison. You also told me to specifically tell the eldest girl that she couldn't eat the first hawthorn until the Crown Prince's Consort had eaten it."

"You bitch, you still dare to make random accusations after all this! You're pregnant with someone else's bastard and you dare to frame me? I haven't even touched you, so don't tarnish my reputation!"

Su Chenghe stepped forward and kicked Zhang hard again. This kick made her roll twice before stopping, but the blood under her body flowed even more freely.
