277 Trouble
“You’re so unreasonable. Song Zhou and I have always been harmonious. Not to mention arguing, we’ve never even lost our temper at each other!
Why would I harm her?!”
Song Xiao suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and explained, “Do you know that I can find someone to punish you for spouting nonsense?!”
She was already panicking. Seeing that she couldn’t get anything done here, she only hesitated for a moment before turning around to return to the courtyard to think of a countermeasure.
No matter what, she had to send a letter to let the others in the family be prepared!
However, just as she turned around, Song Minggui, who was pressed to the ground by Bai Guo and couldn’t move, couldn’t help but scream, “Sister-in-law, you can’t abandon me!
“This is all because of you and Brother…”
“Shut up!”
Before Song Minggui could finish speaking, Song Xiao had already rushed back. She pointed at the pale Song Minggui and scolded loudly, “It’s bad enough that you didn’t repent after making such a huge mistake, but you actually spouted nonsense here!
“Shut up and reflect on your actions first. If you continue to be insensible, just wait for your brother to come over and punish you!”
She spoke so quickly that Yuan Niang and the others didn’t have time to stop her.
After Song Xiao glanced at Yuan Niang, she turned around and went into her room.
“Chief, Madam is treating Song Zhou in this courtyard. It won’t be good if people come and go outside and disturb her!
Therefore, it’s better not to let anyone run around and cause trouble.”
Yuan Niang only glanced at Song Xiao’s departing figure before turning to nod at Su Le and suggesting politely.
“That’s right. Don’t worry, I’ll immediately instruct people to guard this area. No one is allowed to leave without permission! I heard just now that Marquis Beining is on the way here anyway. When he comes, we’ll explain the situation here and hand over the people. Then, we’ll be considered to have completed our mission!”
Su Le cupped his hands and agreed to her suggestion with a smile.
Yuan Niang bent her knees slightly in return before standing up and saying with a smile, “Thank you. I’ll go in now and see if there’s anything you need my help with.”
“Madam, please wait a moment!” Song Mingmin, who was also restrained in place, gritted her teeth and finally couldn’t help but call out to the woman who was about to turn around and enter.
“You don’t have to worry. With Madam around, she will definitely do her best to protect Song Zhou.” Yuan Niang turned around and bowed slightly before Song Mingmin could speak. She said to her respectfully, “In order to make the entire matter easier to understand and not let others get involved, I’ll have to trouble you to continue waiting here for a moment!”
Although Song Mingmin was a little impulsive, she wasn’t stupid.
Although Yuan Niang didn’t say it clearly, she could still hear the deeper meaning in Yuan Niang’s words.
That’s right. Now that she thought about it, this was clearly a scheme by the concubine’s family. They were targeting her pregnant sister-in-law! Just now, Song Xiao came over to ask for her. They probably wanted to protect the culprit so that they could get their stories straight to explain to their brother!
Since the culprit couldn’t leave, they couldn’t get their stories straight anymore!
Otherwise, if they played the blame game, she probably wouldn’t be able to defend herself.
After understanding the main point of the matter, Song Mingmin didn’t say anything else. She only lowered her head slightly and stood where she was without saying anything else. Seeing that she understood the severity of the matter, Yuan Niang didn’t delay any longer and turned around to help Lin Suisui.
Although the scene was very chaotic just now, Song Zhou reacted quickly. When she fell, she subconsciously reached out to support herself on the ground while protecting her lower abdomen with her other hand. Therefore, although there was redness, the fetus’ condition was far better than that of Song Zhou’s arm.
“Song Zhou, I’ve already given you acupuncture to stabilize the fetus just now. Next, you just need to lie in bed and recuperate. I’ll give you the prescription for the pregnancy stabilizing medicine. Later, get the medicine according to the prescription and boil three bowls of water for a single serving. You’ll be fine after drinking it for a month!
Your right arm is the most heavily injured.
Because you fell down too hard, your bones were fractured. The conditions here don’t allow further treatment, so I can only use this wooden board to help you fix your injuries for the time being. When we return to the city, I’ll fix your fractured bones!”
Lin Suisui sat by the bed as she whispered to Song Zhou.
“Thank you for your help, Madam. If not for your help today, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have just lost an arm. I might even have lost my child!”
Madam Song Zhou wanted to get up, but Lin Suisui raised her hand and gently pressed her back down. “Madam, you’re welcome. It’s no big deal.
During the crisis just now, I had to restrain those people outside!
This way, when your family comes later, it’ll be more convenient to explain the whole story! At the very least, you won’t have suffered for nothing.”
“Thank you, Madam! However, it’s useless even if you restrain them! I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. Not to mention that I was just frightened, even if my child and I died on the spot today, this matter wouldn’t be taken seriously!”
Song Zhou sighed softly. There was no one else here, and Lin Suisui was her savior, so during a moment of fragility, she vented the anger and dissatisfaction that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time and said, “How could I not know those people’s evil intentions?
But what could she do?!
My mother-in-law has always asked us to be patient, magnanimous, tolerant, and harmonious! No matter how big of a mistake they made, even if they pushed my fifth sister into the lotus pond and almost drowned her previously, my father-in-law only said a few words to my mother-in-law, who relented and stopped mentioning this matter!
She was my mother-in-law’s biological daughter and almost lost her life, but she only reprimanded the culprits a little!
I’m just her daughter-in-law. Even if the evidence is conclusive, when the time comes, Madam Yu will just cry and my father-in-law will come over to put in a good word with my mother-in-law!
“To be honest, I’ve had enough of Marquis Beining’s ministry! I’ve already thought about it. If they can’t give me an explanation this time, I’ll divorce my husband!”
