Night falls.

The ancestral hall was too quiet, and at night it became even more eerie.

Xu Jiayun's knees were numb.

But she was constantly being held down by two bodyguards and had no way of breaking free.

Calculating the time, Chi Yu should come to find her!

Although it was risky to place her hopes on Chi Yu, who worked hard for Pei Sangyu, she was betting on Pei Sangyu's determination to keep the child.

The door of the ancestral hall opened and Sheng Yixue walked in from outside with a glass of water in her hand.

"Auntie sympathizes with you because you are pregnant, so she asked me to bring you a glass of water." Sheng Yixiu walked up to Xu Jiayun, squatted down, and shook the glass of water in her hand.

Xu Jiayun glanced at the water cup and sneered, "Mrs. Pei is thoughtful."

"Yes, Auntie still considers the child's innocence." A vicious glint flashed in Sheng Yixue's eyes, "So, don't be ungrateful."

"Then you have to ask them to let me go first." Xu Jiayun frowned slightly. "My knees hurt too. Miss Sheng, please be kind and do your best. Can you let me rest for a while while you drink some water?"

Sheng Yixiu glanced at her knees and thought that she had been kneeling for so long that it would be difficult for her to even stand up, let alone run.

"Let her go first."

Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards let go of their hands.

Xu Jiayun stretched out his hand and looked at Sheng Yixue, swallowing his saliva and looking extremely thirsty.

Sheng Yixue raised an eyebrow, "Want some water?"

Xu Jiayun nodded vigorously.

"Then beg me!"

Xu Jiayun bit her lip and said in a humiliating tone, "Please, Miss Sheng!"

Sheng Yixue burst into laughter. "Xu Jiayun, you're nothing special! It's only been less than a day, where's your backbone?"

Xu Jiayun's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a hoarse voice due to thirst: "I am pregnant, I can't let my child take risks, Miss Sheng, please give me some water."

Seeing Xu Jiayun begging her so humbly, Sheng Yixue was in a particularly good mood. She glanced at the water cup and handed it to her.

Xu Jiayun took the water, tilted his head back and took a big sip!

Seeing Xu Jiayun drinking the water without any precautions, Sheng Yixiu smiled excitedly.

"Xu Jiayun, you idiot—Ah!"

Before she could finish her curse, Sheng Yixue was suddenly sprayed with water in the face!

Then the cup fell to the ground with a shattering sound.

Sheng Yixue wiped the dirt off her face and glared at Xu Jiayun fiercely, "Xu Jiayun, are you crazy? How dare you spit water at me!"

Xu Jiayun looked at her with a cruel look in his eyes, "There are even crazier ones!"

After saying that, Xu Jiayun suddenly pounced on Sheng Yixue.

Before Sheng Yixiu could react, her scalp suddenly hurt, and Xu Jiayun was already standing behind her.

"Don't even come here!"

Xu Jiayun tugged at Sheng Yixue's hair with one hand, and with the other, held a piece of debris, the sharp notch of which was pressing against Sheng Yixue's aorta. "Everyone, step back!"

Sheng Yixue couldn't believe that Xu Jiayun dared to hold her hostage!

But the sharp fragments against her neck made her dare not act rashly because of the cold touch.

"Xu Jiayun, are you crazy? I'm the daughter of the Sheng family. If you dare to hurt me, believe it or not..."

"Shut up!" Xu Jiayun growled, and the fragments pressed harder against Sheng Yixiu's neck.

Sheng Yixue was frightened and burst into tears. "No, no! I won't scream anymore. Don't get excited..."

"Don't think I don't know there's medicine in the water!" Xu Jiayun walked towards the door. "I'll fight anyone who dares to hurt my child!"

Sheng Yixiu was taken away by Xu Jiayun.

Two bodyguards followed carefully all the way.

It was already dark, and the ground lights in the backyard illuminated the path leading to the main house.

Xu Jiayun and Sheng Yixiu were not walking very fast.

Sheng Yixiu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she stumbled as she walked.

When passing by the artificial lake, a vicious look flashed in Sheng Yixiu's eyes.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Sheng Yixue suddenly yelled, "I, my leg is cramping!"

"Stop playing tricks on me!" Xu Jiayun didn't believe Sheng Yixiu at all!

Sheng Yixue gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and dragged Xu Jiayun to the side, "Ah—Xu Jiayun, I'm going to fight you!"

Xu Jiayun never expected Sheng Yixiu to pounce on her so suddenly. She staggered a few steps and suddenly stepped on empty air!

puff-

The calm lake surface is splashing!

"Miss Sheng!"

When the two bodyguards saw this scene, they immediately rushed to the lake!

"Miss Xu!"

"Miss Xu!"

Chi Yu and Zhou Jing had just arrived when Xu Jiayun and Sheng Yixiu fell into the water at the same time!

"What are you standing there for? Save people first!"

Zhou Jingchong ordered his two bodyguards angrily.

Then there were several sounds of people falling into the water.

The lake was boiling, and the two bodyguards and Chi Yu jumped into the lake at the same time.

Zhou Jing stood by the lake and took out his phone to call Pei Sangyu, "Mr. Pei, we're a step too late. Miss Xu and Miss Sheng fell into the water!"

……

In the study, Pei Sangyu hung up the phone.

He supported himself on the desk with one hand, and the veins on his bony hand bulged from the excessive force.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain on his back, then stood up. He lowered his eyes and a drop of sweat fell from his eyelashes.

After taking a deep breath and enduring the piercing pain, he opened his eyes.

A pair of dark, crimson eyes looked at Mrs. Pei, "Do you know why I insisted on keeping Xu Jiayun's child?"

Mrs. Pei frowned, perhaps unable to bear to see his pale face. She averted her gaze and said coldly, "It's because that's your first child!"

"Listen carefully now, and remember this." Pei Sangyu coughed lightly, and his heavy breathing echoed in the dim and depressing study. "I want that child because he can save her."

Hearing this, Mrs. Pei suddenly turned her head to look at Pei Sangyu.

The slightly trembling pupils were enough to show how shocked she was. "She...isn't she already dead?"

"You don't need to know this." Pei Sangyu took a deep breath, turned around and walked out the door with heavy steps, "Remember, don't touch that child again, otherwise, our mother-son relationship will end here."

Mrs. Pei stared blankly at Pei Sangyu's back as he disappeared at the door.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Bang!

A loud noise was heard in the study.

Hearing the noise, Han's mother hurried over from downstairs.

The desk lamp that fell to the ground was already unrecognizable. Mrs. Pei covered her chest with a ferocious expression, and held the edge of the table with her other hand to barely steady herself.

"Madam!" Han Ma hurried forward and helped her sit down on the sofa. She took out the medicine box from her pocket, poured out two tablets and handed them to her, "Take the medicine quickly."

Mrs. Pei took the medicine and her breathing gradually stabilized.

"The doctor told you not to get angry, so why are you doing this?"

"Han Ma, why doesn't he ever listen to me?" Mrs. Pei tightly grasped Han Ma's hand. "His father abandoned us so early. If it weren't for me..."

The voice stopped in shock and Mrs. Pei closed her eyes tightly.

The silence and speechlessness of this moment were the result of her using up all her remaining rationality to swallow all her resentment and hatred.

When she opened her eyes again, only coldness and ruthlessness remained in her red eyes. "Whether it's Xu Jiayun or her, they are both a disaster! Their existence will harm Sang Yu. They... shouldn't exist!"
