Zi You stood up and walked slowly over to her. She lifted up Yueluo’s chin and smiled bewitchingly. “You’re not qualified to mention my mother nor do you deserve to be my uncle’s woman. Soon, the child you’re relying on will become a mass of rotten flesh. That is what happens when y ou collude with that cheap wench Wang Yiping!”
“Ah…… Ah……” Yueluo screamed and burst into tears. It was over. Her child was gone.
How dare Mu Zi You…… How dare she kill her child?
“Second Laoye, Second Laoye……” Yueluo shouted, “Second Laoye, please save our child!”
Pah! A loud slap interrupted Yueluo’s howling. Mu YingYi did come in, but he didn’t save her. Instead, he slapped her fiercely. “Cheap maid! How dare you scheme against me? Say it. Why did you collude with that woman to harm me?”
“Second Laoye!” Yueluo shouted mournfully, “Nubi didn’t harm you. Nubi has been secretly…… secretly in love with you. But you never paid Nubi any attention. Nubi didn’t…… didn’t have any other choice……. but to do that……”
“What about the child?” Mu YingYi’s handsome face was cold. “Whose child is it? Don’t lie to me. The child can’t possibly be mine.”
“The child…… is yours, Second Laoye,” Yueluo lied. She knew if Mu YingYi found out the truth, she would be dead.
“It seems that you won’t cry unless you see the coffin.” Zi You waved her hand. “Bring the maidservant Lin’er who waits on her here.”
The little maidservant Lin’er was brought over. She looked fearfully at Yueluo, who was in pain and had blood flowing down her legs, before she lowered her head.
“Lin’er, tell Yueluo everything you told me,” Zi You coldly ordered.
Lin’er looked up and hid behind Zi You. She looked at Yueluo and said, “Nubi saw Yueluo…… Yueluo, First Furen, and a man together. She and that man…… slept together. And…… And Yueluo’s menses had ended for three days on the day that she was with Second Laoye. When she was with that man, it was thirteen days after her menses ended.”
“She’s lying!” Yueluo shouted anxiously and loudly. She wanted to stand up and hit Lin’er, but the pain made her collapse to the ground again.
She looked shocked at Mu YingYi and shouted, “Second Laoye, she…… She’s lying. She’s jealous of me……”
Zi You smiled lazily and sat back in her chair. She said calmly and slowly, “Don’t lie anymore. If you don’t tell the truth, Weishali……”
Zi You called out and Weishali slithered out.
Zi You looked at Yueluo’s horrorstruck appearance. She said sweetly, “If you still don’t tell the truth, I’ll give you to Weishali for dinner.”
Yueluo looked incredulously at Zi You’s beautiful smile as if she was looking at an Asura from Hell. She shivered in fear and cried out, “No. I don’t want to be eaten by a snake! I’ll tell you…… I’ll tell you.”
She would die if she told the truth, but she was really afraid of the terrifying snake. After comparing the two, it was better to die under Mu YingYi’s sword instead.
