Mrs. Jing is a kind-hearted person. She has been through many storms and waves for most of her life and is open-minded. When she saw Zhuang Ke looking like she was going to faint again and her heart was filled with despair, she mistakenly thought she was desperate because of miscarriage, so she advised her, "Girl, you are only a teenager, you have a long life ahead of you."

"Mommy..."

Zhuang Ke let out a weak cry, tears running down the corners of his eyes.

Generally speaking, she is destined to be a disaster. If her parents are still alive, that would be great. She will not be sold to the banker and enter the wolf's den, which is the beginning of the nightmare.

She was cautious, not daring to resist even if she was raped by Yang Xu.

Is resistance useful? She was already dirty!

When they first met, Yang Xu was standing under the mountain gate of Songhe Academy, holding a book in his hand, and she walked up to him holding an oil-paper umbrella.

When Yang Xu saw her, he immediately blushed and lowered his head, looking uncomfortable.

Zhuang Ke knew that he was quite attractive, especially using his identity as Zhuang Mu's sister to get close to him. She didn't expect that one day, she would be moved by his talent.

She even had the extravagant hope that it would be great if she could really escape from here and escape from everything.

After a long time, Yang Xu noticed her abnormality. Through the poem exchange between the two, Yang Xu knew the secret she had hidden deep in her heart. However, he didn't mind and said he would marry her.

Zhuang Ke waited, hoped, and finally waited for the news of Yang Xu's death.

That day, she clearly remembered that she had just changed into a thin summer shirt in Kyoto, and it was a rainy day, and she was making snacks in the kitchen.

Zhuang Mu curled his lips, walked in quietly, and hugged her from behind.

She struggled desperately, resisted with all her strength, and even raised the kitchen knife on the chopping board, but Zhuang Mu remained unmoved and even sneered, "I'm here to send you a message. Your lover has been killed. Then it was cut into eight pieces, the real eight pieces!"

"Did you do it?"

Zhuang Ke trembled, and the hair on his hair stood up. She almost didn't believe what she heard. Yang Xu was dead? How can it be?

He said that when he passed the examination, he would take her away from Kyoto and fly far away. He... is dead?

"So what, do you have any evidence?"

Zhuang Mu narrowed his eyes and didn't care about Zhuang Ke's reaction. It was not true that he liked him much, but that Zhuang Ke was the person closest to him, one of his own.

The reason why he regarded Zhuang Ke as one of his own was that she had seen him kill someone with her own eyes.

Since she knows him so well, she must stick to him for the rest of her life and cannot escape from his grasp. Otherwise, what if she is with Yang Xu and tells his secret?

"You are the devil!"

Zhuang Ke yelled heartbreakingly, and then her whole body trembled. On a rainy day, the soles of her feet began to feel chilly.

"You know best what kind of person I am."

Zhuang Mu lowered his face and warned Zhuang Ke that Yang Xu was dead. If she dared to do anything to destroy his reputation, she would bear the consequences.

Zhuang Ke closed his eyes and somehow remembered the past again.

"Alas, your parents died early, and you don't have a family to rely on. You can only rely on yourself, and you have to cheer up on your own."

Mrs. Jing patted Zhuang Ke on the shoulder. How could a person be without a little frustration? Many times, she thought her life would be unbearable and she wanted to die. But then the situation turned around and she couldn't give up hope until the last moment.

"To say the least, you came to Zhuang's house when you were eleven and grew up with Zhuang Mu. We are childhood sweethearts."

Mrs. Jing babbled, but her words were not pleasant to listen to, but she had good intentions, "In the future, Zhuang Mu will be admitted to the imperial examination, and you will be the wife of an official. Therefore, you must take good care of yourself and not let the root cause of the disease fall on you at once."

The words are very subtle and have deep meaning.

In the future, if Zhuang Mu has a bright future, he can't have only one woman by his side, and there will be all kinds of girls around him. As his little daughter-in-law, she had to take good care of her body and give birth to an heir as soon as possible. Even if she didn't have a natal family, she could still gain a foothold in the banker's family. Those who came after her would not be able to surpass her status.

Zhuang Ke closed his eyes. Under the quilt, he made a fist with his upper hand, and his nails had sunk into his flesh.

Her cheeks were trembling along with her body, showing that she was in great pain.

"Does it hurt too much?"

Li Haitang inserted another silver needle, and through Mrs. Jing's words, she learned the whole story.

Zhuang Ke is not Zhuang Mu's biological sister, but was originally the maid of the Zhuang family, with no family to rely on.

Judging from Zhuang Ke's disgust for the child in her belly, she knew that it was not Yang Xu's flesh and blood. Maybe she had been fooled!

To find evidence and identify the murderer, we have to start from Zhuang Ke.

Li Haitang discovered that if the case turned out as she thought, Zhuang Mu used the child in Zhuang Ke's belly as a threat. If the child was gone, Yang Xu's parents would probably go to Dali Temple to file a complaint.

And Zhuang Ke, as a key witness, how could Zhuang Mu tolerate the witness alive?

Zhuang Ke secretly took food that was not good for the fetus, and he was probably planning to kill the enemy.

When she learned that her child was gone, she looked relieved and knew that she was not dead. All that was left was panic.

Mrs. Jing did not understand the truth, but stood as a bystander and kept persuading.

After a while, the sound of a carriage was heard in the yard, and then someone said, "Brother Zhuang, the female doctor you asked me to hire is here!"

When Zhuang Mu was mentioned, Zhuang Ke's eyes widened and his whole body trembled.

"Oh, it's a female doctor, don't be afraid."

Mrs. Jing misunderstood again and said with a smile, "Look, your husband is afraid that the person I invited is unreliable, so he invited a female doctor to come over to treat you alone. You can't hide your illness and avoid treatment!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Haitang with an apologetic look, feeling that her words were impolite.

"It's okay, this is human nature."

Li Haitang waved his hand and didn't take it seriously at all.

The five blessings around me are so exaggerated. He even insults his wife. She is the famous Divine Doctor Li in the North. She wants to ask Divine Doctor Li for treatment. She doesn’t have a few thousand taels of silver. Do you have the nerve to ask?

If it weren't for the case, my wife wouldn't have come here.

"I'm just looking for someone to take a look at it. The little lady's body must be well maintained. This time, she has lost her vitality."

Li Haitang heard someone coming in and was about to stand to one side, but his hand was suddenly grabbed by Zhuang Ke!

No, that person was invited by Zhuang Mu. He must have harmed her. She can't die!

Zhuang Ke suddenly realized that he had made another big mistake. She thought that if she killed two children with her child, Yang Xu's parents would go to Dali Temple to file a complaint, but she forgot one fact. Without witnesses, the case would go unsolved!

"Madam, please save me!"

Zhuang Ke pulled Li Haitang, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and refused to let go. Mrs. Jing was standing at the door, her eyes focused on the new female doctor, and she didn't see the interaction between the two at all.
