Chapter 211: Keep her unborn baby safe
Before Song Zheyang could say anything, Qiuyue had already started to kowtow and beg for mercy: "Master, please forgive me! It was really because the young lady said she was afraid that the prince Ji would seek revenge, so... that's why she took me away."
"But the young lady has fallen into the water before, and now the weather is getting colder, and the young lady is afraid of falling into the water again and hurting herself, so she asked the servant to wear her clothes before going into the water."
The thoughts that Song Zheyang had suppressed emerged again, and became clearer and clearer.
Song Zheyang blurted out the doubts in his heart: "Who informed the lady about this?"
Even he himself didn't know why he asked such a question or why he doubted Song Muxue, but he knew that if he didn't get an answer, it would definitely affect the brotherly relationship between him and Song Muxue.
"It's a slave."
Qiuyue answered without thinking: "I am afraid that the young lady will be injured, so I can only go to see the lady."
It sounded like Qiuyue was just being loyal and protecting her master, but the guilty look on her face made it impossible for Song Zheyang to believe it.
Song Muxue accidentally fell into the water, and because Qiuyue's mother came for help, she happened to run into Ji Xuze, so Song Muxue was able to escape and return to her own yard.
Such a coincidence was so great that even if he trusted Song Muxue, he couldn't convince himself to believe it.
Especially Qiuyue's words defending Song Muxue everywhere made him recall the kindness she had received from Song Muxue when she was rescued from the brothel.
Song Zheyang's heart had already cooled down, and he patiently asked Ji Xuze: "What kind of grudge is there between you and Mu Xue that you want to fight to the death?"
"Then I'll have to ask your good sister!"
Ji Xuze gnashed his teeth and said, "If she hadn't instigated me to drug the princess..."
Ji Xuze's words came to an abrupt end as an arrow flew from nowhere and hit him in the chest. He fell to the ground with blood spitting out of his mouth.
Although the man had died, his eyes were open. The hatred and unwillingness in his eyes seemed to be cursing each and every one of them, as if saying that even if he became a ghost, he would never let them go.
Song Zheyang shouted angrily: "Investigate who did this!"
"No need to check."
Shen Zhikang appeared in a dignified manner and said, "I shot him."
Facing Song Zheyang's dissatisfied eyes, Shen Zhikang explained: "Mu Xue was frightened, I came to see her."
As if he had sensed the undercurrent between the two, Song Shaozhang immediately stepped forward with a smile to ease the situation: "Zheyang, look at how much Master Shen cares about Mu Xue. As a brother, you should be relieved."
His mother was seriously injured, but his father not only showed no concern but also tried to please Shen Zhikang, which made Song Zheyang even more dissatisfied. He said indifferently, "Father, please send someone to invite the imperial physician!"
He ignored Shen Zhikang and the embarrassed Song Shaozhang, and ordered the maids to carry the frightened Mrs. Song back to the yard.
"Let's ask the court doctor to come first..."
"I have brought the imperial physician here. Let him treat Madam!"
Song Zheyang did not reject Shen Zhikang's proposal, but his attitude towards him was still cold and indifferent.
Song Shaozhang then remembered his wife whose face was scratched, and kicked Ji Xuze's body: "How dare you come to me... How dare you come to my Song Mansion to commit murder? I will throw him to the mass grave to feed the wolves!"
Although it was unclear how Ji Xuze escaped, no one would care about a stray dog like him, and the emperor would not ask about it, so when Shen Zhikang watched his body being carried away by the servants of the Song Mansion, he did not stop them.
Mrs. Song was carried away by the maids, and Song Shaozhang and his son and Shen Zhikang followed them. The servants who had gathered also dispersed.
The two inconspicuous servants looked at each other, then jumped up and disappeared from the Song Mansion, as if they had never appeared.
In the back street where few people pass by, there is a simple and low-key carriage parked, and the two people who just came out of the Song Mansion are sitting safely in the carriage.
"Shen Zhikang showed up at such a timely moment. Was it you who leaked the information?"
The person who was speaking wiped off the makeup on her face with a wet cloth, revealing Song Yunxi's bright and dazzling face.
Ye Xuanqi wiped his face and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be more lively if Shen Zhikang participated?"
"It's really lively, but I'm afraid Song Zheyang is even more lively inside."
Song Yunxi was watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal: "Ji Xuze was shot dead before he could finish his words. In this way, the person Song Zheyang suspected changed from her to them."
I have to say that Ye Xuanqi's move can be regarded as a stroke of genius.
Song Yunxi couldn't help but tease him: "In my opinion, you are the one who really enjoys watching the fun."
Ye Xuanqi's eyes were full of doting behind his lowered eyelids. He always acted decisively and ruthlessly, but she liked to tease them like cat and mouse, making them suspicious of each other. It seemed that he was doing the right thing.
Song Yunxi held her chin with one hand: "This time Song Zheyang must have become suspicious of Song Muxue and Shen Zhikang, but the absolute trust between them has been established for a long time, and it is impossible for it to collapse because of this time."
"But Song Zheyang is not only meticulous but also has many twists and turns in his thinking. The seed of doubt has taken root in his heart and may cause them to fall apart one day."
The two waited for a while, and then Sizhu's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss, she's here."
Song Yunxi got off the carriage, and the person who followed Sizhu timidly was Qiuyue, the maid that Song Muxue trusted the most.
"This slave has met the eldest lady."
Song Yunxi said appreciatively: "You did a great job this time."
Not only did he get Mrs. Song involved and injured, but he also subtly aroused Song Zheyang's suspicion of Song Mu. He was indeed making progress.
But Qiuyue did not hide her hatred and unwillingness: "It's a pity that Madam Song only got a scratch on her face."
That’s right, it was she who suggested to take Song Muxue’s place in the water, and it was also she who led Madam Song to fight against Ji Xuze.
Song Yunxi chuckled: "Let them die happily and watch them fight against each other. Which one do you choose?"
Qiuyue was stunned for a moment before she understood immediately and said sincerely, "I will follow the arrangements of the young lady!"
She wanted to see the scene where the once loving mother and filial daughter turned against each other and fought to the death.
Song Yunxi nodded to Sizhu, and she immediately handed a porcelain bottle to Qiuyue.
"This is……?"
"Pregnancy-preserving medicine."
Song Yunxi said calmly: "You did a good job this time. Remember to let Song Muxue take this medicine every day to ensure that the fetus in her belly is safe."
fetus……
fetus?!
Qiuyue was stunned, thinking she had heard it wrong, and looked at Song Yunxi in shock for confirmation.
"You heard it right, Song Muxue is pregnant."
Song Yunxi warned her: "This child must be kept at all costs, and no one else can find out."
Song Muxue often goes to see a doctor to treat her infertility. This medicine can hide her slippery pulse, a sign of pregnancy, and quietly save the fetus in her belly.
