“What are you all standing there for! Hurry and fetch a doctor!” Jiang Quan rushed forward, and seeing the pool of blood beneath Xia Yan, he couldn’t care about anything else. He raised his hand and fiercely slapped Jiang Ruan across the face.

With a sharp “slap,” everyone’s hearts jumped at the sound. Jiang Quan struck extremely hard, and five clear fingerprints appeared on Jiang Ruan’s fair face, instantly swelling up, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her lips.

Jiang Quan was stunned. In his rage and fury, he had struck out, not expecting that Jiang Ruan would stand there motionless and take the slap head-on. A flash of satisfaction appeared in Xia Jiaojiao’s eyes, while Xuan Li, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, frowned imperceptibly.

Jiang Ruan took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe the blood from her lips, and said with a calm expression: “Has father’s anger subsided?”

Striking someone in front of a member of the imperial family was disrespectful no matter what. Jiang Quan was momentarily speechless. Seeing Xia Yan on the ground barely breathing, his anger rose from his heart again. He pointed at Jiang Ruan’s nose and cursed: “Wicked daughter! To have such a vicious heart, daring to plot against your legitimate mother in broad daylight! Simply deranged!”

Xia Cheng followed behind Xuan Li. Seeing the scene before him, he was naturally extremely gratified. He had originally harbored anger about Jiang Ruan scheming against the Xia family’s only grandson Xia Jun. Now seeing Jiang Ruan suffer, he was naturally pleased, completely disregarding his own daughter’s safety. However, in such a scene, in front of Xuan Li, he naturally had to say a few polite words. He feigned persuasion: “In-law, perhaps Miss Ruan didn’t do it intentionally. Might there be some misunderstanding?”

“Indeed,” Jiang Ruan spoke softly: “Why doesn’t father ask mother? Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding. How do you know I deliberately pushed mother down? But if father’s anger still hasn’t subsided, I’m willing to let father slap me a few more times.”

Her tone revealed no joy or anger, and her beautiful eyes didn’t contain even a trace of excess emotion, as if the slap she had just received was merely an illusion. Xia Jiaojiao had wanted to see Jiang Ruan’s wretched appearance, but didn’t expect that even now, Jiang Ruan remained calm and composed, making her secretly grit her teeth in frustration. Xuan Li looked at Jiang Ruan with scrutiny. Such a woman, whose emotions didn’t show on her face—wasn’t she rather too extraordinary?

Jiang Ruan’s words made Jiang Quan’s earlier action seem unjustified, and made the servants beside Xuan Li think: this legitimate daughter of the Jiang family was after all the Hong’an County Princess personally enfeoffed by the Empress Dowager. How could her status in the mansion be so low? From Jiang Ruan’s meaning, was she usually Jiang Quan’s punching bag? Wasn’t Jiang Quan slapping the imperial family’s face?

Jiang Quan was annoyed and wanted to slap her again, but with all eyes on him, he couldn’t act freely and could only shout: “You still dare to argue!”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Why doesn’t father ask mother? The victim is right before your eyes.”

The maids and servants who had rushed over upon hearing the news were about to carry Xia Yan away, but stopped upon hearing these words. Xia Yan secretly resented this in her heart—Jiang Ruan’s words were clever. Given Xia Yan’s usual gentle and magnanimous facade, she could only say that Jiang Ruan hadn’t done it intentionally. But if she said that, wouldn’t she be giving Jiang Ruan a way out? Thinking of this, Xia Yan moaned painfully: “It hurts so much…”

With this, the maids and servants dared not delay any longer and hurriedly carried Xia Yan back to her room.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Quan couldn’t care about anything else and hurried to follow. The Xia family naturally couldn’t wait to watch the excitement, and Xuan Li also stayed behind. With everyone gathered, Jiang Ruan naturally wouldn’t be left out. When Tianzhu passed by Jiang Ruan’s side, she looked worriedly at the injury on Jiang Ruan’s face. Jiang Ruan shook her head at her, and Tianzhu lowered her head, pretending not to notice.

When several people arrived at Xia Yan’s room, Xia Yan was inside with the summoned midwife, and Xia Yan’s shrieks could be heard from time to time, making everyone’s hearts race with fear. The Second Concubine, hearing of this matter, brought Jiang Li over to gloat. Jiang Susu and Hong Ying also rushed over. Jiang Dan, however, remained in her own courtyard and didn’t come out.

Hong Ying saw the injury on Jiang Ruan’s face. Having heard earlier from servants that Jiang Quan had hit Jiang Ruan, she hadn’t expected the injury to be so severe and was startled. Seeing Jiang Quan’s anxious expression, she hurried over to console him with gentle words. Under Hong Ying’s comfort, Jiang Quan’s expression improved somewhat, but his gaze toward the room remained very worried. After all, she was a woman he had truly loved, so his heartache and anxiety weren’t feigned.

Jiang Susu was naturally also furious. Although she had seemed to restrain her temper considerably these days, and didn’t slap Jiang Ruan outright like Jiang Quan upon seeing her, her eyes held venom and resentment.

Jiang Li and the Second Concubine were the happiest. Jiang Li said to Jiang Ruan: “Big sister, how could you push mother like that? If little brother is gone because of this, how heartbroken mother will be.”

Hearing these words, Jiang Quan’s anger toward Jiang Ruan increased. At this moment, the room door suddenly opened, and the exhausted-looking midwife walked out. Lin Lang and Feicui saw Jiang Quan and immediately knelt down without a word, crying: “Master, the madam has miscarried.”

Jiang Quan was thunderstruck, staggered back two steps, and said in a daze: “What?”

The midwife also shook her head apologetically: “Sir, this old woman was truly powerless. It was a little young master.”

Jiang Quan turned around, glared furiously at Jiang Ruan, suddenly raised his palm, and was about to strike heavily again, roaring: “You rebellious daughter who killed your own brother!”

With a “slap,” this time it didn’t land on Jiang Ruan’s face. Tianzhu couldn’t act, so at the last moment, she blocked in front of Jiang Ruan, taking that slap for her.

Jiang Quan flew into a rage: “What are you? Someone come, drag this insolent slave away and beat her to death!”

“Enough,” Jiang Ruan said coldly: “Father, the matter hasn’t been clarified yet. Do you want to disregard human life in front of the Eighth Prince?”

By mentioning Xuan Li, Xuan Li naturally couldn’t stand by and watch. However, Xuan Li was someone who valued reputation most, so he could only act as a perceptive judge, saying: “That’s right, Lord Jiang should clarify the matter before making a decision.”

“What more does big sister have to say?” Jiang Susu widened her eyes. Now she was even more beautiful than before, and much cleverer too, no longer relying solely on her beauty. Her eyes were red-rimmed, as if she were forcibly holding back tears, yet her voice still choked with emotion: “Big sister, you can’t possibly be saying that mother deliberately got rid of the child in her womb, can you?”

The beauty’s pitiful appearance moved Xuan Li to console her gently: “Second Miss Jiang shouldn’t be too sad.”

Jiang Ruan asked back: “What’s impossible about that?”

“Master…” But it was Xia Yan being helped out slowly by her maids. She was tottering, her face pale as paper, having just changed into clean white clothes, making her look even more haggard. She looked at Jiang Quan and slowly knelt down.

“Yan’er, what are you doing!” Jiang Quan quickly stepped forward to help her up and lean her against his chest. Xia Yan looked at Jiang Ruan and began crying mournfully: “Master, since this concubine entered the mansion, after sister passed away, I thought I was contributing to the family lineage and never did anything immoral. After Miss Ruan returned, this concubine also treated her sincerely, always fearful of doing something inadequate. This concubine knows being a stepmother is difficult, so I’ve always been careful in my actions. Who knew…” She wiped away her tears and said hatefully: “If it were other matters, this concubine would endure them, but since ancient times, children are their mother’s heart and soul. Miss Ruan made mistakes, and this concubine could forgive them, but the child in this concubine’s womb couldn’t forgive them. Originally, family scandals shouldn’t be made public, but Miss Ruan actually wants to slander this concubine. This concubine really can’t bear it anymore. Since His Highness is here today, I beg His Highness and master to seek justice for this concubine and seek justice for this concubine’s innocent child who died unjustly!” She wailed: “Master, that was our child!”

Xia Cheng was also filled with anger: “In-law, my good daughter married into your mansion, but I didn’t expect her to live such a life. Since this is the case, if you can’t seek justice today, I’ll take Yan’er back. The Marquis Xia’s mansion can afford to support Yan’er!”

“Exactly, sister-in-law is such a good person,” Shen Rou also fanned the flames: “Heaven have mercy, to even lose the child. When mother learns of this matter, she’ll be so heartbroken. Our master was saying that in a few days he could be an uncle, but who knew… sigh.”

Xia Jiaojiao also feared the world wouldn’t be chaotic enough, saying: “I never thought Miss Jiang would be such a person. Are the rules of the Jiang mansion all dead? Even in our Xia mansion, everyone knows that daughters must be filial to their mothers. Such a thing as plotting against one’s legitimate mother—even in the Great Jin Dynasty, you couldn’t find a second example.”

Seeing Xia Yan like this, Jiang Quan was already extremely heartbroken. Hearing the Xia family’s accusations made his head pound like a drum. He only regretted not strangling Jiang Ruan when Zhao Mei gave birth to her, causing such disaster to the Jiang family. Thinking of that unborn boy, Jiang Quan’s heart ached even more.

Jiang Susu began sobbing quietly. Jiang Li wanted to say something but was pulled back by the Second Concubine and fell silent.

Hong Ying had thought that since Xia Yan hadn’t used that silk thread, she wouldn’t miscarry. Today, however, she heard news of Xia Yan’s miscarriage again. Besides joy, she was also puzzled, not understanding what had really happened.

Xuan Li looked at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan said calmly: “Since mother insists on seeking justice, then this county princess will seek justice for mother.”

“Miss Ruan, why must you harm me so?” Xia Yan said angrily.

“I harmed mother?” Jiang Ruan smiled: “Isn’t it that mother took miscarriage medicine herself and then framed me?”

“Am I mad?” Xia Yan said in shock: “How could I harm my own child? What benefit would harming you bring me?”

“There are naturally benefits,” Jiang Ruan smiled lightly: “Losing one child of unknown gender, but being able to frame me. If mother stirs things up a bit, father will surely be furious. If word spreads, Miss Ruan’s life will be ruined. If it goes to the authorities, then a life must pay for a life. Big brother is at the frontier—hearing news about Miss Ruan will surely disturb his mind. If something happens to him, that would be best. The Jiang family’s vast estate would fall into second brother’s hands. If mother then follows the trail and discovers some connection between Miss Ruan and Fifth Concubine, conveniently finding some ‘witnesses,’ Fifth Concubine would probably also find it hard to escape disaster.” Jiang Ruan smiled warmly: “Mother, such a transaction would be profitable no matter what, wouldn’t it?”

Everyone stared at her dumbfounded. Jiang Ruan’s words were extremely bold, without even a trace of disguise or shame. There are many people in the world who dare to speak the truth boldly, but those who speak the truth without leaving even a shred of dignity are extremely rare.

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Jiang Ruan as if she had suffered great humiliation: “You… I never thought such things!” She looked anxiously at Jiang Quan: “Master, this concubine never thought such things!”

Jiang Quan said softly: “I naturally know you’re not that kind of person.” He turned to Jiang Ruan, his face flashing with embarrassed anger: “Wicked daughter, to be so shameless!”

“The young lady of the Jiang mansion is truly bold,” Xia Cheng said: “This old man really can’t stand to watch today. Someone come, seize this poisonous woman who not only murdered her legitimate mother but also speaks slanderously!”

“Who dares act!” Jiang Ruan shouted loudly. She was dressed in red like fire, but her eyes were like ice-tempered sharp swords. That instant of coldness made everyone around her shiver, as if they saw evil spirits from hell coming to claim lives, their eyes full of bone-chilling cold.

Instead of anger, she smiled, looking at Xia Cheng: “Marquis Xia, if we’re talking about family matters, your surname is Xia—how can you interfere in Jiang family affairs? If we’re talking about state matters, upon seeing me, you should address me as County Princess! Our ranks are comparable. Do you want to slap the Empress Dowager’s face and seize the dignity of the realm!”

Each question was more severe than the last, leaving Xia Cheng speechless. Jiang Ruan looked lightly at Xuan Li: “Since the Eighth Prince is here, representing the dignity of the realm, would the Eighth Prince be willing to serve as a witness?”

Xuan Li said warmly: “Naturally, I’d be delighted.” Having watched this drama to this point, he really couldn’t see what possibility Jiang Ruan had of turning defeat into victory. However, he maintained an appearance of fairness on the surface. Watching a small ant struggle for survival in a sea of fire—wasn’t that quite interesting?

“What do you want to do?” Jiang Quan asked sternly.

“Since father doesn’t trust me so, I have nothing to say. I believe mother poisoned her own unborn child to frame me. I request the Eighth Prince to have people search the courtyard. If they find the medicine that causes miscarriage, that would be irrefutable evidence.”

Xia Yan almost wanted to laugh out loud. Jiang Ruan thought herself clever, but where would she have medicine that causes miscarriage? Even if they searched Yanhua Courtyard completely clean, they would find nothing. She stared intently at Jiang Ruan, not missing any expression on her face: “What if there’s nothing?”

“Then I’ll accept all responsibility and ask father to send me to the authorities for judgment. Mother, would this be acceptable?” Jiang Ruan said.

“Good.” Xia Yan gritted her teeth: “A word once spoken.”

Xia Cheng frowned, instinctively feeling something was wrong. But words spoken are like water spilled, and moreover, there was no other way now. Jiang Susu walked before Xuan Li and bowed gracefully: “I beg the Eighth Prince to make the decision.”

Xuan Li helped Jiang Susu up. He hadn’t looked at her seriously before, but now with the beauty close at hand, her every move was soul-stirring. Her face was particularly pitiful, and Xuan Li couldn’t help showing a trace of amazement, his tone softening: “This prince is duty-bound.” He then ordered his guard captain: “Go down and search. Search carefully for me.”

Jiang Ruan looked at those two people, feeling somewhat nauseous, and said: “To show fairness, please bring the personal maids of mother and myself. Not only search mother’s courtyard, but also search everyone’s courtyards in the mansion. Would that be acceptable?”

Xuan Li was startled, then smiled: “Naturally.”

The guards quickly went out to search, but the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense. Xia Jiaojiao hid behind Shen Rou, her eyes full of gloating. Just thinking that Jiang Ruan would soon be taken away by government officials with her reputation completely ruined, she couldn’t help but show a trace of satisfied smile. Jiang Susu stood beside Xuan Li, occasionally lifting her head to look at him. Xuan Li smiled comfortingly at her—it was quite a picture of mutual affection.

Jiang Li bit her teeth to pieces, secretly cursing Jiang Susu as a vixen for having the mind to seduce men even when her mother had just miscarried.

Jiang Quan softly comforted Xia Yan in his arms, but ignored Hong Ying’s resentful gaze beside him. The Second Concubine looked at Hong Ying’s belly, thinking it would be good if this one was also lost.

Xia Cheng kept staring deadly at Jiang Ruan. The more nonchalant Jiang Ruan appeared, the more uneasy he felt. He, a dignified marquis, had developed wariness toward a young girl after all these years—if word got out, wouldn’t others laugh at him? But when he had witnessed Jiang Ruan’s methods in the Xia family ancestral hall, and now after three more years, Jiang Ruan’s scheming had deepened considerably from that time—how could he not be afraid?

Time passed quietly. Before long, Xuan Li’s guards returned from their search to the hall, with Lin Lang and Tianzhu following behind. Xuan Li asked: “Did you find any medicine?”

“Reporting to Your Highness, we did not,” the guard captain answered.

Hearing this, Xia Yan’s tears immediately fell: “Miss Ruan, what do you have to say now?”

“What more is there to say? Naturally, she should be taken to the authorities,” Xia Jiaojiao immediately spoke up: “Such a venomous heart—Your Highness must seek justice for aunt and the deceased cousin!”

“Wicked daughter, do you now admit your crimes?” Jiang Quan shouted loudly.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. Xia Cheng noticed Lin Lang’s deathly pale face and felt his heart skip a beat. Before he could react, he heard Tianzhu say coldly: “Master, although we didn’t find miscarriage medicine in the madam’s courtyard, we did find this in the madam’s courtyard. Please take a look, Master.” She handed something over with both hands. Xia Cheng was startled and took it to look—it was a set of clothes and a pair of sky-blue cloth shoes.

Finding clothes and shoes in the mansion wouldn’t normally be anything, but when Jiang Quan unfolded the items, his face immediately turned iron-blue with anger. The clothing was originally oversized, and the shoes were several sizes larger than Jiang Quan’s. The Jiang family men had been from a scholarly family for generations, with slender builds. These clothes were clearly made for a robust person. Neither Jiang Chao nor Jiang Xinzhi would fit them, and there were no other men in the mansion. Moreover, there were intertwined lotus flowers embroidered in a hidden place on the collar.

Being in a hidden place, it would never be visible during normal wear, but appearing here made Jiang Quan feel utterly humiliated. He angrily shouted: “Shameless woman!” and threw the items at Xia Yan’s face.

Xia Yan was stunned, and after seeing clearly, was also greatly shocked, hurriedly saying: “Master, this concubine never made such things. Master, this is Miss Ruan’s slander!”

“Mother is truly amusing,” Jiang Ruan said calmly: “Since mother became pregnant, she usually doesn’t let others disturb her. Miss Ruan has never stepped foot in Yanhua Courtyard even once. Even just now, during this brief time, I was standing together with father. Mother says it’s slander—I’d like to ask mother, what method did I use to stuff these things into mother’s boudoir under mother’s nose?” She suddenly remembered something and smiled again: “Besides, mother’s needlework—father knows it best. Whether it was made by mother or not, surely father can tell?”

Jiang Quan was already trembling with rage. He naturally knew his wife’s embroidery skills intimately. That’s why when he saw the clothes and shoes just now, he was so certain that they were definitely Xia Yan’s handiwork! Even if Jiang Quan usually favored Xia Yan and was cold to Jiang Ruan, any man discovering his wife had cuckolded him wouldn’t remain unmoved. Jiang Quan now felt only anger toward Xia Yan—where was any trace of his usual tenderness?

Seeing this scene, Xia Cheng glared at Jiang Ruan: “What tricks did you pull?”

Jiang Susu also knelt down crying: “Father, don’t you know what kind of person mother is? How can you suspect mother?”

Jiang Quan looked down at this daughter he loved most. The three years of hardship at the family temple had already made Jiang Quan feel somewhat guilty toward Jiang Susu. Since Jiang Susu returned to the mansion, she had become extremely understanding and obedient. Seeing her cry so pitifully now, his heart softened somewhat.

But when Jiang Ruan struck, she never left any room for recovery. She gave Tianzhu a look, and Tianzhu said coldly: “Second Miss, the slaves also found some special things in your courtyard.”

Lin Lang’s face became even more deathly pale, almost fainting. Jiang Susu frowned, and Tianzhu took a wrapped bundle from the guards and threw it before everyone.

The bundle was covered with bloodstains, and a strong fishy smell emanated from it. When Tianzhu threw it like this, the bundle scattered, and what was inside fell out—it was a mass of bloody, mangled flesh that looked nauseating.

“What is this?” Xia Yan was startled, instinctively feeling the fabric looked familiar.

“A dead fetus.” Tianzhu was originally an assassin, naturally cold all over. Combined with such an ominous statement, everyone in the room felt an inexplicable chill.

Jiang Ruan smiled: “Mother, do you still want to say Miss Ruan pushed you? Clearly you had already taken miscarriage medicine, put little brother in second sister’s room, then came to slander me.”

“Nonsense!” Xia Yan was somewhat panicked. She also didn’t know how this thing had come to be, and asked urgently: “Susu, what is this? What’s going on?”

Jiang Susu’s eyes flashed with annoyance, not expecting Jiang Ruan’s meddling to turn up this thing. In front of Xuan Li, Jiang Susu could only say timidly: “This is placenta, Mother. Susu heard people say eating placenta can beautify the skin. You also know that when I fell off the cliff… But this is definitely not little brother—it’s placenta Susu bought from the medicine shop.”

“Placenta?” Shen Rou covered her mouth, and her gaze toward Jiang Susu instantly changed. Placenta was such a bloody thing—she hadn’t expected this niece who looked gentle and weak to be able to eat such disgusting things.

Jiang Quan was also somewhat disappointed. In his heart, Jiang Susu was like a pure fairy who didn’t partake of worldly food—she was his pride. Now she was making him lose face like this. Xuan Li’s expression was also somewhat strange. Jiang Susu was annoyed in her heart but could only act even more aggrieved on the surface.

“Master, you heard it, this is placenta, not this concubine’s miscarriage.” Xia Yan hurriedly explained, but from the corner of her eye, she glimpsed Lin Lang’s deathly pale appearance. Why was Lin Lang so frightened, almost to the point of collapse? Xia Yan stopped suspiciously, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

No… impossible. She looked again at the bundle on the ground. Why did that brown fabric look so familiar? It looked exactly like what Lin Lang had used to wrap the dead infant when she miscarried that day…

“Ah—” Xia Yan let out a scream that startled everyone in the room. She broke down, pulling at her own hair: “Impossible, impossible, impossible…”

“Mother, what’s wrong?” Seeing this scene, Jiang Susu became somewhat panicked and hurried to pull Xia Yan. But Xia Yan found strength from somewhere and pushed Jiang Susu away, retreating repeatedly, as if looking at a demon.

“Mother, what’s wrong? I’m Susu!” In front of Xuan Li, with Xia Yan acting like this, Jiang Susu felt somewhat hurt.

But Xia Yan broke down again, pulling at her own hair. The placenta Jiang Susu ate was from her little brother! This matter was absurdly unbelievable and bone-chillingly horrifying, yet it was the truth!

Jiang Ruan’s lips curved slightly upward. This was her true purpose. Xia Yan had loved Jiang Susu all her life. If she knew that the flesh and blood from her womb had become the placenta her daughter bought from a medicine shop, wouldn’t it become a nightmare that haunted her afternoons and dreams?

Good and evil eventually receive their due; the way of heaven has its cycles.

When Xia Yan suddenly went mad and everyone was at a loss, a middle-aged man suddenly came from outside. This man carried a medicine box and burst in angrily, with the maids outside unable to stop him. Seeing Xia Yan, that person cursed loudly: “You black-hearted woman, you deceived me! Using lead-filled silver to fool me! No good, you must come with me to see the magistrate!”

Lu Zhu blinked and hurriedly grabbed that person, asking: “Sir, why are you grabbing our madam?”

“Bah,” that man was furious: “This woman miscarried some days ago, and I delivered the birth for her. She wouldn’t let me speak of this matter and said she would reward me handsomely. But when I went home and went to the shop to buy things, I discovered that silver was all filled with lead!”

“Nonsense!” Jiang Susu was furious: “Who bribed you to slander my mother? Be careful, I’ll drag you to the authorities for judgment.”

“Hmph,” that person wasn’t easy to deal with either, and sneered: “If you don’t believe it, you can go to Baozhi Hall in the capital. I prescribed medicine for this woman then, and several ingredients are only available at Baozhi Hall. Baozhi Hall keeps records of all transactions. If you go check, you’ll know who’s lying!”

Baozhi Hall was the largest medicine shop in the capital. Their business relied on integrity—otherwise it would ruin their reputation. They certainly wouldn’t lie. If Xia Yan had gotten medicine for post-miscarriage recovery, Baozhi Hall would know with one check.

That man was still not satisfied and tried to grab Xia Yan from the ground: “You woman, come with me to see the magistrate!” But Xia Yan was now like a madwoman, mentally unclear—how could she reason with him?

“Enough!” Jiang Quan finally shouted loudly. His eyes were blood-red, and the muscles in his cheeks were slightly trembling, obviously quite angry. The fact that Xia Yan had miscarried before was almost confirmed. What made his heart even more furious was the owner of those clothes. But Xia Yan was currently in no condition to answer his questions. Jiang Quan said coldly: “Help the madam back to her room and watch her closely!”

This was putting Xia Yan under house arrest. Xia Cheng hadn’t expected today to turn into such a scene. He looked pleadingly at Xuan Li, then went to chase Jiang Quan: “In-law, this matter…”

The show was over, and Shen Rou and Xia Jiaojiao had no need to stay longer. Xia Jiaojiao was very disappointed that Jiang Ruan hadn’t met with misfortune. Jiang Li and the Second Concubine were overjoyed—they had followed Jiang Quan for many years and knew that it would be very difficult for Xia Yan to recover from this.

Hong Ying wanted to comfort Jiang Quan, so naturally she wouldn’t stay in the hall. For a moment, only Jiang Ruan and Jiang Susu remained in the hall. Jiang Susu walked toward Jiang Ruan step by step, her face gloomy: “Today was your doing again. Big sister’s methods remain skillful.”

“Isn’t second sister curious why mother suddenly went mad?” Jiang Ruan looked at her quietly, then suddenly said.

Jiang Susu was startled: “What?”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. That smile appeared somewhat eerie to Jiang Susu. She saw Jiang Ruan look toward the mass of bloody flesh on the ground and say softly: “Because that placenta was personally discarded by mother.”
