Chapter 1347: 338: One wrong step leads to many wrong steps

Chu Xiangyi never thought about today.

Really never thought about it.

She believed that a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs, yet Master Du didn’t even spare his own flesh and blood!

“He is your own flesh and blood! How can you be so heartless!” Chu Xiangyi’s face was pale, and her eyes were filled with sadness.

She had waited for a man for over ten years, never expecting to end up in such a situation.

It truly is ridiculous!

“Just because I don’t say some things doesn’t mean I don’t know them.” Master Du twisted the Buddha Beads, speaking slowly.

Chu Xiangyi’s already pale face turned paper-white, “You… you…”

Master Du continued, “Why would the bullets be poisoned? Why would Zhao Jingrong escape from prison? Chu Xiangyi! Do you really think I know nothing?”

Chu Xiangyi bit her lip tightly, saying nothing.

Yes.

She was indeed the person behind the scenes.

She thought Master Du didn’t know; she thought she had deceived everyone.

Never expected, he found out.

He knew.

He knew everything.

However, she didn’t do these things to kill Ni Yang; she just wanted to use this opportunity to conceive a child.

She wanted to have a child with a similar background to Master Du, hoping to attract his attention.

Back then, Master Du’s mother gave birth to him with a secret hand.

Master Du was unwelcome from birth.

She thought that, having suffered such hardships, Master Du surely wouldn’t want his child to suffer similar ones.

But she never imagined that Master Du knew everything.

He was always silently enduring…

Chu Xiangyi’s whole body felt cold, trembling all over.

“Since you knew all along, why didn’t you say anything? In your eyes, am I just a fool! A pathetic clown!”

Chu Xiangyi has followed him for so many years.

In Master Du’s eyes, she was always a woman content with her place.

At least for the first ten years, she was silent, never stirring up trouble.

So, at first, Master Du never suspected Chu Xiangyi.

Until Chu Xiangyi made that request.

She asked him for a child.

Only then did Master Du realize Chu Xiangyi’s wild ambitions and began investigating her.

Things turned out just as he expected.

The reason Zhao Jingrong suddenly fell ill and escaped from prison smoothly was all orchestrated by Chu Xiangyi.

At this moment, Master Du leisurely took out a piece of something from his bag and threw it in front of Chu Xiangyi.

“Aman!” Chu Xiangyi recognized the item on the ground and screamed, “Aman!”

The item on the ground was a severed finger, with a burn mark on its inside.

Chu Xiangyi suddenly broke down emotionally, crawling desperately from the bed, clutching Master Du’s clothes, “Every mistake is my fault! I repent! I beg for forgiveness! Please spare Aman! Aman is still a child, please don’t trouble him! I’m begging you!”

“Today, it’s a finger; if there’s a next time, it won’t be as simple as a finger.” His voice was calm, but to Chu Xiangyi’s ears, it sounded like a death sentence.

It’s her fault.

She’s in the wrong.

She acted without considering the consequences.

She let down her brother, and even more so, her unborn child.

After speaking, Master Du turned and left.

Opening the door, Du Jiaojiao asked with concern, “How is Xiangyi?”

Master Du shook his head, “She’s likely unable to overcome this hurdle.”

Du Jiaojiao continued, “I’ll go in and check on her.”

“Go ahead, try to console her.”

“Don’t worry.”

Du Jiaojiao entered and saw Chu Xiangyi kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

“Xiangyi, stand up, this child isn’t destined for you,”

Chu Xiangyi hugged Du Jiaojiao and cried loudly.

Du Jiaojiao quietly comforted Chu Xiangyi.

Because it’s almost New Year’s, Master Du instructed Du Jiaojiao not to tell Ni Yang and Mo Qishen about this.

During the New Year, if this sort of thing happens, no one will be in a good mood.

Du Jiaojiao nodded, “Yes, I understand.”

After the miscarriage, Chu Xiangyi was melancholy all day, unable to eat or sleep. The most she did every day was stare blankly out the window and sigh.

“Madam, it’s time to take your medicine.” The nanny brought a glass of water and some pills.

Chu Xiangyi mechanically swallowed the pills, her eyes void of any light.

Dimness so deep it was alarming.

The nanny sighed. Only half a month ago, Chu Xiangyi was still a spirited concubine, never expecting her to become a shell of her former self.
