"No, that's not it!" Mother Cheng shook her head. "Madam went to see Prince Rong to ask him to help the young lady. The young lady and the young master might be... Prince Rong's child."

She said the last sentence very softly, feeling very nervous when she said it.

He even shuddered with cold air, and then cautiously glanced at the old lady and Xu Chongshan.

There was no change in their expressions and they remained indifferent.

Mother Cheng swallowed hard and continued tremblingly, "Prince Rong... was also injured. It seems... it seems that there was an assassin who shot two arrows at Madam and Prince Rong in succession."

"Madam and Prince Rong were each shot by an arrow. I did not see the assassin with my own eyes."

"Every time Madam and Prince Rong had a private meeting, this servant never served by their side. Today is no exception."

"But I seem to have heard Madam and Prince Rong quarreling. Madam wanted Prince Rong to go to Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion to help the young lady, but Prince Rong disagreed."

"Then the two of them disagreed and started arguing. When I and the housekeeper of Prince Rong's mansion arrived at the house, Madam and Prince Rong had already been shot by arrows."

"Prince Rong's arrow hit the right chest, and Madam's arrow hit the lower abdomen. This servant... this is all I know."

"Please, old lady, spare my son's family of four for the sake of my truthful testimony. I am willing to do anything for you, old lady and master."

After saying that, he kowtowed again, causing his forehead to be broken and bleeding.

"You said that Xu Panyue and Xu Yufan might be Li Mao'an's children. What do you mean?" The old lady immediately grasped the key point of the words.

The pair of cold eyes stared straight at Mother Cheng, questioning word by word, "Does Ruan Lizi have another adulterer?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng's mother felt her body go limp and she fell to the ground like a boneless earthworm.

"Slave..."

"Speak!" The old lady picked up a teacup on the table and threw it at her.

The teacup hit Cheng's mother on the head, and bright red blood flowed down her cheek.

"Yes, yes..." Mother Cheng said with a look of panic, "The young master's master also... also has a close relationship with the lady. But... he may also be the young lady and the young master's biological father."

"There is also... there is also the former disciple of the old master of the Ruan Mansion, Mr. Zhu... Mr. Zhu, who is also... also a guest of the Madam. He... may also be the biological father of the young lady and the young master."

"It's...it's impossible for the master. Because...the young lady and the young master gave birth nearly a month prematurely. In fact...in fact, the lady should have been pregnant before she married...married into the Xu family."

"It's just...it's just that it's been so short, Madam doesn't know.

"Madam... the reason why she is willing to marry the Master is... because she feels that Master Zhu and Master Guan are not as promising as the Master."

"And... that is... that is, she wants the late Madam to die with regrets. She thinks that snatching her own sister's husband is the proudest thing in her life."

"She also wants to ruin the eldest daughter. She hates the late lady the most in her life. On the surface, the sisters have a good relationship and love each other, but in fact... in fact, she wants to kill the late lady every day."

"The late Madam didn't actually die of complications during childbirth. Instead, every time Madam came to visit the late Madam, she would add a small amount of medicine to her food."

"The dosage is so small that even doctors can't detect it, but over time, it accumulates and can be fatal."

"But people will only think that the mother died of childbirth complications, and they won't suspect the lady at all."

"Also, when the late Madam and the Master had sex in the Ruan family, it was not the late Madam who designed the Master, but the Madam who designed it."

"She knows that the late Madam has a crush on the Master, but the Master only has a brotherly and sisterly relationship with her. She wants to destroy her sister and make the late Madam a person that everyone despises."

"Then, she stood up again and spoke well of the late lady, coaxing the master to keep the peace and marry the late lady."

"Everything was within her plan. The only thing that was beyond her plan was that she didn't expect that after marriage, the master would really fall in love with the late lady."

"So, she was jealous. Even though she clearly didn't like the master, she still wanted to show her admiration for him. She even deliberately let the old lady see it."

"That's why after the first lady passed away, the old lady suggested that the master marry her."

"Madam, Master, I have told you everything I know! Please, Madam, Master, spare my son and his family of four! I am willing to pay for my late Madam's life!"

The old lady took a deep breath and closed her eyes in pain.

There was self-blame and regret on her face.

It's all her fault. She let the wolf into the house! She killed Li Jin, the daughter-in-law! She really couldn't pay for the lives of mother and daughter even if she died ten times!

Turning to look at Xu Chongshan, "What do you say?"

Xu Chongshan also had a look of dejection and regret on his face at this moment. He fell back a few steps and then sat down on the chair in a very embarrassed manner.

His mind was blank, and his whole body felt as if it had been drained out, with a tight and uncomfortable feeling in his chest.

I never thought that all this was done by that vicious woman, Gigi Nguyen!

And he turned out to be an accomplice.

Did he fall in love with Ruan Lijin?

The moments of my time with Ruan Lijin when we were young flashed through my mind.

He was also a student of Mr. Ruan, so the two Ruan sisters had a good relationship.

But he never thought that he would marry his teacher's daughter one day. He respected the Ruan sisters, especially Ruan Lijin.

In everyone's eyes, she is like the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountains, out of reach.

But that year, that day, on his teacher's birthday, after he drank the glass of wine that Ruan Lijin handed him, he became completely confused.

It was Ruan Lijin who took him to the side room to rest.

Then, after waking up...

He lay in the same bed with her, her clothes dishevelled.

No matter how stupid he is, there is no way he doesn't know what happened.

Since then, the teacher no longer trusted him as much as before. His classmates also looked at him differently.

Gradually, one by one, they distanced themselves from him.

In their eyes, it was he who defiled Ruan Lijin and destroyed the noble and pure white snow lotus in their minds.

But, only he knew that the truth was just the opposite.

He was the one who was designed. It was Ruan Lijin who designed him.

But he couldn't tell the truth. After all, no one would believe him if he didn't tell it, and it would also ruin the teacher-student relationship between him and the teacher.

So Xu Chongshan had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.

Even under the persuasion of the old lady and Ruan Lizi, he married Ruan Lijin reluctantly.

After marriage, the relationship between the two is actually one of mutual respect and they do not interfere with each other.

Ruan Lijin stayed quietly in her own courtyard, taking care of her pregnancy, until...she died of complications during childbirth.

"It's up to you, mother!" Xu Chongshan said this with a dejected look on his face, then stood up and left.
