Chapter 934: Chapter 934: Putting On Quite the Show
Bai Shuilian accused herself without saying a word, even moved her hands, and with an inescapable guilt, began striking her own wounds in the waist and abdomen.
"Why didnāt Shuanglu strike harder, and just send me away directly? Now that Yiāer has become like this, I wish I were dead, itās all because I, as a mother, didnāt do well, itās my fault, Heaven, take me away, Iām willing to trade my life for my sonās well-being."
Without an agreement, she resorted to self-harm, scaring Song Zhiqing into hurriedly grabbing her hand, saying, "Look at you, just talking, and youāre cursing yourself? Stop it."
Bai Shuilian cried softly, "As the saying goes, āhurt in the childās body, pain in the motherās heart,ā you didnāt give birth to Yiāer, how could you know the suffering in my heart? The so-called empathy actually doesnāt exist. Heās become foolish, and here, Iām empty."
She beat her own chest fiercely a couple of times.
Song Zhiqing held her tightly: "Youāre speaking foolishly too, Iām his biological father, how could I not feel heartache?"
Bai Shuilian leaned into his arms: "Youāre right, Shuanglu alone definitely couldnāt have done this. But sheās already dead, and within this entire mansion, thereās no one to be found who conspired with her. Sanlang, I also want to ask her, why she did this, causing harm to your two sons, who would benefit from such an act? I hate it so much!"
Song Zhiqing felt chills run all over his body.
Indeed, with one careless move, his two sons fell into this, even if he could have more children, who knows if they would be sons?
Who is so malicious as to want to cut off his lineage?
For a moment, Song Zhiqing was overwhelmed with conspiracy theories, several figures flashed through his mind, and the deeper he thought, the more he felt anyone could be involved.
This Prime Ministerās Mansion, who is indeed the one filled with ghosts and spirits?
Bai Shuilian felt the body she was holding become slightly stiff, her mouth twitched, and her cries became even more sorrowful.
After such pulling and entangling, it seemed inappropriate to send Bai Shuilian to the nunnery to stay, so Song Zhiqing could only let it go, advising her to stay away from Song Ci to avoid suspicion, and then went to find Aunt Shen to talk.
When the child had an accident, Lushi didnāt come out to take care of the child, and while Bai Shuilian was recovering from her injuries, he now went to find Aunt Shen to talk whenever he had something or nothing, even if they didnāt engage in any such romantic affairs, just drinking tea and talking, it still calmed him.
The key was Aunt Shenās insight, which broadened his way of thinking somewhat.
Now, having heard Bai Shuilianās words, he was exceedingly anxious, fearing that someone was out to harm his branch, and he certainly had to find someone to sort it out.
Bai Shuilian, seeing him leave, sent a maid out: "See where the master has gone." Then she called Mother Quan in to talk.
Mother Quan came in, bowed respectfully.
Bai Shuilian waved her hand irritably, lowered her voice, and said, "The master might be suspicious, thinking Shuanglu was merely a scapegoat."
Mother Quan frowned: "Perfectly well, why bring this up?"
"I donāt know, ever since the Shen woman entered the house, heās been somewhat hard to control," Bai Shuilian said, "Should we notify..."
Mother Quan gave her a sharp look, her voice barely a whisper: "Donāt speak recklessly, now the people watching Youyan Court are not just one group, the more you do, the more mistakes you make."
Bai Shuilian shivered, immediately silent.
Shortly after, the maid returned to report, saying Song Zhiqing went to Moyun Hall.
Bai Shuilian waved her away, her face darkening a bit, grinding her teeth: "After all, sheās someone from the palace, truly has some skills. Mama, if this continues, no telling if heāll be won over by her."
Mother Quan looked at her askance: "So you should take good care of your health quickly."
Bai Shuilian stiffened slightly, her white teeth biting gently on her lower lip.
