Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

She was stunned for a moment, then saw Xiao Rui walking hurriedly towards her not far away.

She immediately understood why Hua Niang suddenly wanted to commit suicide. She did it to show her son.

She said sarcastically, "Okay, you can crash into someone and die right now. This lady will never stop you. Go ahead and crash into someone. What are you hesitating about?"

Hua Niang hesitated. Seeing that Xiao Rui had no intention of saving her, she could only kneel and crawl over to beg, "Young Master, please help me. I have carefully nurtured this delicate flower for you. How can I endure this unwarranted slander?"

Xiao Rui said coldly: "Okay, I believe what you say!"

Madam Xiao immediately reminded: "Rui'er, you!"

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "You say you're innocent, then let Madam Cheng search you. If she doesn't find any saffron powder on you, I'll have my mother apologize to you and give you five thousand taels of silver as compensation so you can leave the Xiao Mansion!"

Hua Niang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Young Master, do you still doubt me?"

Xiao Rui said in a deep voice: "Because you are Hua Niang, you must be searched!"

He looked at Nanny Cheng, who immediately started searching Hua Niang's body.

However, no matter how she searched everywhere, she still couldn't find any trace of the powder.

She quickly stood up and reported to Xiao Rui, only to hear him say, "Take her to the inner room and search carefully from top to bottom!"

Hua Niang was so frightened that her whole body was shaking violently. She asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master, do you really want to humiliate this servant like this?"

Xiao Rui didn't say anything, but she sneered and raised her hand to tear open her clothes. She shouted fiercely: "Search me, let you see if I have any drug powder hidden on me!"

Xiao Rui turned his head away immediately, but Mrs. Xiao was already so angry that her face turned ashen.

She gritted her teeth and scolded, "What are you doing? Opening your clothes in public, how can you be so shameless?"

Hua Niang laughed sarcastically, "Proving my innocence is not enough? Look, Madam, there is nothing else besides this little dress. Do you want me to cut open my flesh and blood as well, so that the Marquis can see if there is anything hidden inside?"

Madam Xiao urged with a stiff face: "Are you ashamed? Hurry and get your clothes ready!"

Just as Hua Niang was about to get started, Lin Yiwan stopped her: "Wait!"

Hua Niang stared at her warily: "What else are you going to do?"

Lin Yiwan walked up to her and said, "You just reminded me. I don't think I need to cut open your flesh, but I think I can try cutting open your clothes!"

Hua Niang was so frightened that she immediately stepped back: "How dare you!"

Lin Yiwan shouted, "Zi'er!"

After Zi'er's long sword swept across, the torn clothes fell all over the ground.

And some red medicinal powder is also mixed in it. If it’s not saffron powder, then what is it?

Hua Niang's face was ashen, she knelt on the ground, looking miserable.

Madam Xiao slapped her several times in succession, causing her mouth and nose to bleed and even knocking out several of her teeth.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I did it. I wanted her to have a miscarriage and not be able to keep the child. That way, you, who are eager to have a grandson, would arrange for the young master to marry a concubine, and with a little trickery, I could become his woman!"

Madam Xiao cursed: “You are shameless!”

Hua Niang retorted, "She's the shameless one. I've been secretly in love with the young master for a long time. Why would Meng Yunshang interfere? Is it just because her father is the prime minister? She even forced the young master to give up his position. She deserves death the most. Yet you still treat her like a treasure. You're such a fool!"

Mrs. Xiao never expected that her momentary kindness would lead to her raising an ungrateful person.

If I had known she was so vicious, I should have sent her out before Meng Yunshang entered the mansion.

She said in a hateful voice, "Come here, send this evil woman to the government. She dared to covet my son and murder my daughter-in-law. I will send her to a cold and bitter land to be a prostitute!"

Hua Niang was confused. She thought Madam Xiao was very kind and that even if she made a big mistake, she would at most be kicked out of the Xiao Mansion.

But she didn't expect that she would be sent to a cold and bitter place to be a prostitute.

No, she can't go!

She would be tortured to death!

She didn't dare to act tough anymore. She immediately cried and begged, "Madam, I was wrong. You can't let me become a prostitute. I am the girl you carefully taught me. How can you bear to let me be tortured to death?"

Madam Xiao kicked her to the ground, then took the long sword from Zi'er's hand and stabbed a bloody hole in her face.

She said word by word, "I taught you with my own hands, and I will also destroy you with my own hands. Hua Niang, you only deserve to be thrown into the mud in this life!"

Hua Niang rolled back and forth in pain. She covered her bleeding cheek with her hand and fainted.

Mrs. Xiao ordered her to be dragged away with disgust on her face, feeling extremely regretful.

She looked at Xiao Rui and said, "You go to the government office in person and make sure they send this evil woman away. Don't let her get away. She's too cunning!"

Xiao Rui's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "Okay, don't worry, mother!"

He turned and walked away quickly, disappearing in an instant.

Madam Xiao was about to speak to Lin Yiwan when she heard the gatekeeper come over to report: "Madam, there is a distinguished guest in front who wants to see you. She said it is the female relatives of the Wei Mansion in Suzhou!"

Madam Xiao widened her eyes in surprise: "The Suzhou Wei family has returned to Beijing?"

Lin Yiwan curled the corners of her lips. These women from the Wei family were really lingering around and even found their way to the Xiao Mansion.

But it doesn't matter, she also needs to carefully investigate the cause of death of her aunt and cousin.

She said calmly, "Madam, since you have guests, go and entertain them first. I'll go see how Yun Shang is doing. I have to tell her that we've caught the real culprit!"

Madam Xiao's eyes softened. "Well, you and Qiu Tang must stay for dinner. I'll be right back!"

When Lin Yiwan returned to Meng Yunshang's room, she saw Qiu Tang feeding her medicine.

Seeing her walk in, the two immediately asked, "What's going on? Have you found out?"

Lin Yiwan said, "It was Hua Niang who did it. She hid saffron powder in the flower buds. This will have a great impact on Yun Shang's pregnancy!"

Meng Yunshang's face, which had just regained its color, paled again. She said angrily, "I never thought it would be her. After I got pregnant, she took great care of me and was even considerate of me. Knowing that I often went for walks in the backyard, she even tied cotton pads to all the stone benches, saying that she was afraid that my small belly would be cold!"

Lin Yiwan scoffed, "This person is two-faced. She seems well-behaved, but she's actually ruthless with the saffron she used on you. I've checked, and with such a large dosage, even if I save your baby this time, you'll definitely suffer the pain of stillbirth in the future!"

Meng Yunshang was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweats. Fortunately, Wanwan came today and insisted on investigating the matter thoroughly. Otherwise, she and Xiao Rui’s child would be in danger.
