Life and death are not a big deal to the people in this household.

Just hearing the name Zheng Jihua, these people naturally wanted to understand.

Xiang'er, lying on the bed, clutched her chest, feeling waves of pain.

She glanced at the stares directed at Yu'er.

"Shut up."

She shouted at Xiang'er with all her might.

The girl, still crying, turned to look at her.

Xiang'er shook her head at her, "You can't say things without evidence. Come here."

Yu'er wanted to argue, but she noticed the gazes on her from all around. There were already many people in the room, and now that they were all focused on her, the feeling was even more unsettling.

She took a step and immediately moved closer to Xiang'er.

Xiang'er grabbed her hand. She could no longer control her expression and was just trying to hold on. She knew that if she collapsed, she wouldn't be able to do anything for her child and Yu'er.

Yu'er moved closer to her, and she looked at the person in front of her and clasped their hands together.

She placed the object in her hand into Xiang'er's palm.

Repeating over and over: "Brother, he died so tragically."

Xiang'er said this as if it were a reminder.

Xiang'er held the thing given to her tightly in her hand, not daring to let go for even a moment.

What happened in this room would naturally reach Zheng Jihua's ears.

Zheng Jihua showed no expression after listening.

"Just keep an eye on them."

The servant said with some concern, "That girl keeps crying and making a fuss, I'm worried..."

He didn't say the worst directly.

Instead, they were waiting for Zheng Jihua's decision.

Zheng Jihua had already made up her mind.

"Don't bother."

The servants received instructions and left.

The room where Zheng Jihua was alone was quiet.

It won't be easy for Yan Yun to get that woman to leave.

When Zheng Jihua decided to marry her, all eyes were on her.

Even if it's a night raid, it will probably end up like Jing Ri did last time.

Yan Yun sat in the rattan chair, somewhat lost in thought.

A strong gust of wind came from above, blowing her hair all over.

Yan Yun raised his hand and brushed his hair aside, only to see the white eagle land beside him.

Her thoughts snapped back to reality as she looked at the white eagle she hadn't seen for days.

I don't know where it went.

There was no food around Yan Yun, but the dog came closer, flapping its wings as if it was about to fly onto Yan Yun's lap.

Seeing the claws about to land on her legs, Yan Yun immediately moved away. Her side waist was still aching slightly, and the claws were no longer as small as before.

As soon as she stepped aside, the white eagle landed on the rattan chair next to her, behaving quite properly.

The maidservants beside them prepared to step forward and drive the white eagle away, but before they could get close, the white eagle flapped its wings, intimidating them and preventing them from approaching.

Yan Yun didn't stop them, but just watched quietly, seeing them back down and enjoying his leisure time.

His thoughts wandered a bit, and he wondered if the white eagle were any bigger, it might be able to take the woman away with it.

But just thinking about it.

She leaned back in the wicker chair and squinted slightly, noticing that the white eagle was leaning over.

Meanwhile, in the concubine's courtyard.

The concubine knew that the woman had given birth to a child, but she wasn't sure if the child was Zheng Jihua's. If it wasn't, he wouldn't have brought the woman back.

But what if we say that the child is...?

I'll have to go see the child myself to find out.

The concubine acted on her idea immediately. She got up from the bed and went to the woman's courtyard. No one in the courtyard dared to speak. Anyone who dared to stop her was pushed away with a slap. If anyone was still blind enough to try to stop her, they were directly slashed on the face and arms.

They arrived at the woman's courtyard.

The servants blocking the door, though speaking humbly, did not move aside.

"Madam, once the master gives the order, we can meet."

She was furious. Besides Zheng Jihua, she was the only other person in the household. How could she be kept out of the door?

"I can't even go see her?"

Everyone in the household knew the concubine's status, but since the master had given such an order, they simply followed it.

They still wouldn't let anyone into the yard.

"Madam, we would not dare to let you in without the master's orders."

The concubine pushed her to the ground.

"Don't stop me."

She's about to lose everything, can't she at least get some answers?

"Go away."

She went inside without a second thought, just wanting to take a look.

The old woman who had caught up with them lashed out at her relative.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?"

The man looked up at the courtyard, seemingly unconcerned about the old woman's accusations, but still offering explanations.

"It's my fault for not keeping a good eye on her."

The old woman glanced at him, finding no conviction in his words.

The old woman quickly stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the concubine who had already lost control.

"lady."

She moved closer to her.

She had forgotten everything she had said.

She applied force with her hand.

The concubine refused to give in. She pushed away the old woman who was holding her, and with a bit of force, she managed to pull open her clothes as well.

The old woman quickly tidied up her clothes.

Her expression changed, and she whispered a word of advice: "Madam."

The concubine ignored him completely and rushed straight towards the house.

The servants, mindful of her status, stepped aside, but the maids were fearless and immediately helped the concubine up.

"lady."

The concubine was already somewhat obsessed. She wouldn't regain her composure unless she saw that woman. "If you dare to stop me again, I'll sell you all out of the mansion."

The maidservants beside him still dared not let go.

The concubine felt even angrier when she saw the person who was blocking her way but didn't budge.

She turned her head and bumped right into the maid who was blocking her way.

The concubine was furious and bit her ear.

No one expected it to turn out this way.

The maid tried to dodge in a panic, but the concubine held her ear tightly and she couldn't get it off.

The maid beside him was still trying to persuade him.

"Madam, please don't do this, Madam."

The concubine's eyes were already red, and the more people around her spoke, the more she clenched her teeth, as if she were using all her strength.

The maid couldn't bear the pain and started crying and screaming.

He immediately released his hand from the concubine's body and pushed it against her face, trying to shove her away.

The maids watching were terrified. They quickly reached out to pull the maid away, worried that she might cause trouble because of the pain.

"Madam, please loosen your grip for a moment."

They saw that the concubine's mouth was bleeding, and she looked like a madwoman.

The bitten maidservant burst into tears and screamed. Her cries and the surrounding shouts of dissuasion created chaos.

With things escalating like this, even though the concubine can't go in, the people inside the house will want to come out and see.

Xiang'er got up from the bed and was about to look outside.

The midwife standing nearby spoke up to stop her, saying, "Madam, you mustn't catch a cold."

Xiang'er didn't listen, picked up the child, and opened the window.

This also allowed the concubine to see the person she wanted to see.

Xiang'er looked at her deranged concubine, whose hair was disheveled and clothes were no longer neat. If it weren't for her overly ornate attire, it wouldn't be surprising to think she was some kind of madwoman who had wandered out of nowhere.

Xiang'er wore no makeup and only glanced at her from afar.

The concubine knew that she was the one she had been looking for. Seeing how calm and collected she was, completely different from herself, she let go of her mouth and spat out the ear she had bitten off.

The maid's bloodstains remained on her face, which she wiped away with her hand.
