Soon, the maids and servants all got busy quietly.

Cheng Songan asked again in despair: "You all know this, but you're the only one hiding it from me, right?"

Old Madam Yu endured the pain and felt a little guilty. She sat beside her and said, "Yun Dai, Yuan'er didn't mean this. He never expected something like this to happen. He originally just wanted to wait until your pregnancy was stable before telling you."

Cheng Songan laughed silently, and as he laughed, tears started to flow down his face: "I'm just a bird in a cage."

Cui Yuanqing kept his lips tightly closed, his fists were clenched so tightly that veins were visible. He felt heartbroken and regretful, but was powerless to do anything.

Doctor Sun came forward with the medicine residue and said, "I didn't find any Five Elements Herb in these residues. But after adding water and testing again, I found the efficacy of Five Elements Herb."

Zhang's eyes widened, her body swayed, and she fell on the Luohan bed behind her. She would never believe that the pregnancy-preserving medicine she made turned out to be an abortion drug.

"How is that possible? You wrote the prescription, the medicine was obtained from Huijitang, a place I often go to, and I brewed it myself. My daughter-in-law drank it for a month and was fine. How come she lost her baby today?"

Doctor Sun replied, "I speculate that someone soaked a large amount of Five Elements Grass juice into the medicinal materials and dried them, so there is nothing abnormal when you look at the appearance, but when the medicine is boiled, the toxicity will evaporate."

Zhang had a smooth life. Even in middle age, he was still innocent and simple-minded. He had never seen such tricks before. He was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Old Madam Yu could barely hide her anger, and said gloomily, "You, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down immediately!"

Zhang had just recovered from her shock when she heard Old Lady Yu scolding her in public and asking her to kneel in the ancestral hall. She was stunned for a moment and cried out after a long time: "Mother-in-law, if you are not my daughter-in-law, how could I harm my own grandson?"

Old Madam Yu slammed her cane on the bed and cursed, "In the past twenty years, I have never scolded you. I have let you run wild. Do you have to kill your grandson before I can make you kneel in the ancestral hall? Get out!"

As soon as this curse was uttered, the whole room fell into silence. All the maids and servants knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Zhang was both embarrassed and anxious, so she turned to look at Cui Yuanqing, hoping that her son could save her face in front of the servants.

A vein faintly appeared on Cui Yuanqing's forehead. He stared at his mother with red eyes, trying his best to suppress the pain. After a long breath, he said, "My son's fault is far greater than my mother's. I will kneel in the ancestral hall!"

Cui Yuanqing's words were meant to save her face, but his expression was full of resentment. Zhang picked up the silk, covered her face with her hands, and burst into tears.

Old Madam Yu ordered in a deep voice, "Do not miss any of the people who prepare the medicine or boil the medicine. Check them carefully for me."

Cheng Songan listened to all this silently and felt that the noise was nothing to her.

Old Madam Yu held her hand and said, "Good child, grandma will definitely find this person and give you and your child an explanation."

"Will the child come back if I give you an explanation?" Cheng Songan murmured.

Old Madam Yu sighed: "You and Yuan'er are still young, take good care of them, in the future..."

Cheng Songan interrupted her: "There is no future."

No matter how stupid Zhang was, she would not want to kill her grandson. So who wanted to harm her? Who would harm her? There was only one person who could use such a sinister and secretive method.

Cheng Songan suddenly stood up, grabbed Cui Yuanqing's belt tightly, and said angrily: "It's her! She killed my child, go kill her!"

Zhang was so frightened that her hands trembled and the silk dropped to the ground. She said in a trembling voice: "It's not me..."

Cheng Songan pretended not to hear anything and just shook Cui Yuanqing and said, "You know who it is? She hates me for forcing the medicine on her, so she's taking revenge on me! It's her, go kill her!"

Cui Yuanqing frowned, his body swayed, his face livid, he held Cheng Songan's hand that was tightly grasping his collar, and said slowly: "She is under house arrest, it's impossible."

Cheng Songan stopped what she was doing, and another wave of strong disappointment enveloped her. She raised her hand and slapped him with all her strength: "You are still protecting her. That man is you, right? That's why you don't care about my child. You want to kill my child!"

"Cui Yuanqing, go to hell! All of you go to hell!"

Cheng Songan waved his hands uncontrollably, his body shaking violently, and he was in extreme despair.

Cui Yuanqing's eyes were bloodshot, he hugged her tightly, and begged, "Don't do this, you need to get well first, you can hit me, scold me, or stab me with a sword."

Cheng Songan's voice was hoarse as he shouted: "Then go and kill her, avenge my child, go ahead..."

Cui Yuanqing's tears fell on her neck, and he said painfully: "Yun Dai, calm down."

Cheng Songan slumped down on the bed, raised her head and let out a long roar. There were no more tears in her eyes. She turned to kowtow to Old Madam Yu and said, "Then let me go. I don't want a divorce. Can you, the Cui family, divorce me? Grandmother, I beg you, let me go..."

Old Mrs. Yu burst into tears and said in pain, "Child, don't tear out your grandmother's heart like this."

Cheng Songan collapsed and hit himself hard on the head with both fists, using the physical pain to ease the unspeakable heartache.

Cui Yuanqing grabbed her fists and she rammed her head into his chest. He was always good at planning, but facing Cheng Songan's pain, he could do nothing.

Begonia, Rose and Peony came over together, but they couldn't calm her down.

"Girl, Luo Luonu is still alive." Taxue cried as she carried the little raccoon wrapped in silk cloth in her arms, and pounced on it and placed it in Cheng Songan's arms, "Take a look, Luo Luonu is still alive."

Cheng Songan then slowly calmed down and stopped being hysterical. He stretched out his trembling hands to touch the equally shivering Luo Luonu. Its hind legs were injured and bandaged, and the blood scabs had not been cleaned yet. Its once clear big eyes were now full of bloodshot and mixed with yellow pus.

When Roronoa saw her, he stopped trembling and lay quietly in her arms, tears flowing from his eyes, as if he had found his home.

Cheng Songan's tears fell on its fur. He gently bent down and put his face against its dirty forehead, coaxing it softly, "Don't be afraid. I'll take you away."

Roronoa stood up his little body and kept licking her tears to comfort her.

Cui Yuanqing wanted to reach out his hand, but was stopped by Taxue. It was rare that she didn't protect him like a wolf cub. She just cried to him, "Sir, thank you for bringing back Luo Luonu. Please go out first and let the girl be quiet for a while."

Old Madam Yu asked everyone to leave, and no one except Doctor Sun and the people in the yard was allowed to step into Yunxiang Pavilion.

The room gradually became quiet. Cheng Songan was so tired that he fell asleep sobbing.

Cui Yuanqing stroked her face and could still feel her despair and pain in her dream. He stood up and walked into the courtyard and said to Siwei, "Go check Huiji Hall and make sure to leave them alive."
