The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

Du Siyu feigned disbelief and said, "Cousin Wanqing, I always thought you were so gentle and kind. I never imagined you were so vicious that you would harm my sister-in-law's unborn child!"

If Song Wanqing can smear herself, then she can smear the other party as well.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!"

Seeing Lin Ruoqing's murderous gaze, Song Wanqing retorted without even thinking.

"You still say you didn't? There are witnesses and physical evidence to prove it. How do you think you can still deny it!"

After Lin Ruoqing finished speaking, she pushed away the maid who was supporting Song Wanqing and slapped Song Wanqing directly.

The maid wanted to protect her mistress, but she was held tightly by Caihuan.

Du Siyu was almost too scared to watch Lin Ruoqing beat Song Wanqing.

When Ye arrived, the first people she saw were Du Siyu, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, followed by a disheveled Song Wanqing and a panting Lin Ruoqing.

"Ah! What are you doing!"

When Ye saw her niece with her hair disheveled and her face swollen from being beaten by Lin Ruoqing, she couldn't help but scream.

Du Siyu frowned and reached out to cover her ears.

Song Wanqing saw Ye Shi as if she had seen Lin's savior, and she crawled towards Ye Shi, "Auntie! Waaah..."

"Qing'er..."

Mrs. Ye hugged her tightly, feeling heartbroken.

Song Wanqing had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, and her skin had never been scratched. She had never suffered such torment.

Ye pointed a finger at Lin Ruoqing and said tremblingly, "You, you, you shrew, you're crazy! I'm going to make my son divorce you!"

Lin Ruoqing shouted, "Divorce me? Dream on! I'm going to the government office to accuse her of murdering my child, and I want her imprisoned!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you madwoman!" Mrs. Ye didn't believe what she was saying.

The news of such a big incident in Song Wanqing's courtyard had already spread throughout the Marquis's mansion. Just then, He Zhilin returned from his shift, and when he heard the maid's report, his brows furrowed tightly.

He didn't know why, ever since he married Lin Ruoqing, one problem after another had been plaguing his family.

Upon seeing He Zhilin, Ye immediately rushed to her son.

“My son, your wife wants to beat her mother…” Ye cried bitterly.

He Zhilin helped his mother up, looked at Lin Ruoqing, and then noticed Song Wanqing, whose face was bruised and swollen.

"Cousin Wanqing?"

He Zhilin didn't even dare to recognize him.

"Cousin... Waaaaah..."

Originally, Song Wanqing didn't want He Zhilin to see her in such a disheveled state, but no matter how she tried to hide it, she couldn't.

He Zhilin looked at Lin Ruoqing in disbelief and asked, "Did you hit this?"

Lin Ruoqing nodded, "It was me, that's right."

He Zhilin felt a headache coming on.

Lin Ruoqing explained, "She killed my son first, that's why I hit her!"

He Zhilin was shocked; he knew Lin Ruoqing wouldn't lie about this.

Song Wanqing quickly defended herself, "I didn't! I really don't have a cousin. It was my cousin's wife who suddenly rushed into my yard and hit me."

Lin Ruoqing stared intently at her, "You still won't admit it? The doctor told me everything, and I have witnesses and physical evidence."

"I didn't, I didn't..."

The two women started arguing, and He Zhilin didn't know whose side to listen to.

Du Siyu watched with great interest from the sidelines. It's such a pity that her older cousin didn't get to see this scene.

He Zhilin glanced at Du Siyu standing to the side, and his face showed some embarrassment.

"I came back from outside the manor and saw my second sister-in-law rushing into my cousin Song's courtyard. I was afraid something had happened, so I followed her. I didn't step into the house at all." After Du Siyu finished speaking, she was afraid he wouldn't believe her, so she added, "I can swear."

Ye said from the side, "Did you hear that? Lin suddenly went crazy and came to Wanqing's courtyard to beat people up!"

He Zhilin knew Lin Ruoqing somewhat; she wasn't the type to hit someone without knowing the facts.

After thinking for a moment, He Zhilin said, "You said you have witnesses, then bring them over."

"Caihuan, go and invite Doctor Zhang from Baoshantang," Lin Ruoqing instructed.

"Yes."

After saying that, Caihuan quickly walked out.

Mrs. Ye looked at her son in disbelief, "You actually believe this madwoman's words?"

“A mother’s life is about her child, and a son cannot let his child die in vain.”

He Zhilin knew that Lin Ruoqing had always been healthy, so the disappearance of this child was indeed suspicious.

Song Wanqing was a little scared. Although she had done it very secretly, if someone who knew about spices were to come across it, they would be able to see through the secret.

"Aunt, since my cousin doesn't believe me either, then I'll pay for my nephew's life with my own!" Song Wanqing said, about to bang her head against the wall.

Upon seeing this, Ye quickly pulled her back.

"What are you doing?"

"Having suffered such humiliation today, Wanqing has no face to live in this world anymore. Let me just die..."

Du Siyu said from the side, "Cousin Song, since you haven't done anything, don't be afraid. We'll clear your name when the doctor comes."

Song Wanqing looked up at Du Siyu. Every step she took was carefully planned, but Du Siyu always managed to disrupt it.

Du Siyu said kindly, "Cousin, please don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for you sincerely."

Ye agreed with Du Siyu, saying, "Yes, let the doctor clear your name when he arrives."

Song Wanqing nodded gently.

It's unavoidable to see a doctor now, but all we can do is ask for a quack.

Seeing that Du Siyu had been standing outside the door, He Zhilin assumed that she had witnessed everything and invited her inside to sit and wait.

Du Siyu didn't stand on ceremony, but she chose a spot close to the door so she could easily escape if anything happened.

He Zhilin saw through her thoughts, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

When Huianbo heard about this, he didn't go. He didn't want to get involved in anything concerning Ye Shi and Lin Ruoqing.

Wang, the wife of He's eldest son by a concubine, did not go in the end; she pretended that she knew nothing.

Soon after, Caihuan arrived with the doctor.

Lin Ruoqing took out the spices and had Caihuan hand them to the doctor.

"Dr. Zhang, these are the spices I just showed you. Please repeat them in front of my husband."

Doctor Zhang hadn't expected Lin Ruoqing to be a member of the Earl's household. If he had known, he wouldn't have gotten involved. High-ranking families often have some unsavory aspects, and saying the wrong thing could cause trouble.

At this point, he could only bite the bullet and say, "This lady showed me the spices, which contain a medicinal herb that, if used long-term, can cause mental confusion and the risk of miscarriage."

“You’re talking nonsense. This is just a calming spice,” Song Wanqing retorted.

Hearing that he was being questioned, Dr. Zhang confidently said, "Although I am a doctor, my family used to make incense, so I can still smell some of these things." After saying that, Dr. Zhang began to talk about the ingredients in the incense.

Song Wanqing exclaimed excitedly, "No, no, I didn't add those two medicinal herbs you mentioned!"

Ye also spoke up for Song Wanqing, saying, "It must be Lin who slandered Qing'er."

Song Wanqing cried, "Yes, cousin, I was wronged."

Lin Ruoqing coldly watched Song Wanqing's sophistry, and then said, "In that case, why not ask another person skilled in incense making to take a look?"
