CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 347: THE WOMAN QING’ER MENTIONED WAS THE ONE THEY HELPED DELIVER THAT DAY

Mentioning Ruan Mian, Ye Shi’s heart grew even more stifled. If it weren’t for Ruan Mian, that freak wouldn’t have been exposed by herself, and things wouldn’t have turned into such a situation.

However, she underestimated this woman.

Why, in the eyes of those foolish people, did she have such a high reputation? Back when they were in the Capital City, they saw Ruan Mian as nothing more than a meek little woman.

She wasn’t a force to be reckoned with at all! I still remember when she would visit the Xie Family, Ruan Mian wouldn’t even dare to make a sound under her mother-in-law.

She became a widow just after marriage and remained so for three years. How can one change so drastically with such a temperament? Truly baffling.

Now it seems she’s like a completely different person and isn’t easy to deal with.

It’s because of her that I’ve ended up being beaten by my husband like this.

Originally, my husband was already targeting me because of that vixen, Aunt Qiu. Isn’t this just giving Aunt Qiu an opportunity!

Thinking of this made Ye Shi feel like she was going to cough up blood.

Her entire body was in pain, yet her daughter just kept complaining to her endlessly. Who could she pour her own grievances to?

The wounds on her body were excruciatingly painful, perhaps feeling her impatience, Zhang Rong’er dared not say more.

She obediently became the filial daughter: "Mother, now that you’ve been beaten by father like this, even finding a doctor is difficult, as all the doctors outside take orders from Ruan Mian. She really deserves to die!"

"And she’s also a thorn in father’s side. Mother, if we can help father get rid of her, surely he wouldn’t be angry anymore."

Ye Shi was quite speechless: "Do you think I don’t want to! I brought out that six-fingered freak just so I could stand firm in front of your father, to let that little bitch Aunt Qiu see who’s more important!"

"But now? The plan backfired, and I ended up digging my own grave! Without a truly good plan, we absolutely can’t act rashly like this!"

"Alright, stop pestering me, and come to me only if you have a flawless plan. Also, don’t you and your brother cause trouble, otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you both."

Zhang Rong’er’s eyes darkened, and though she replied affirmatively, her heart was filled with a thousand unwillingnesses.

Especially after scabs formed on her face, her beauty was gone. No matter where she went, even little brats would call her ugly, and passing stray dogs would bark at her.

Zhang Rong’er simply couldn’t bear such indignity.

But Ye Shi was indifferent, and for now, she could only temporarily calm down.

During the night, Ye Shi couldn’t sleep in any position, tossing and turning, feeling both cold and pain.

Before sleep, Zhang Rong’er had prepared some herbs for her, which were quite effective in numbing the pain of her injuries.

At this point, Ye Shi couldn’t stand the pain any longer, so she decided to go mix some more herbs to apply, hoping it would allow her to sleep without so much discomfort.

However, as she stepped out of the cabin to fetch some water from the large water jar in the courtyard, she suddenly noticed a figure gradually approaching from afar.

Ye Shi feared it was Zhang Hexong, hurriedly hiding behind a pile of rocks, not daring to breathe.

After a while, a figure emerged from the house as well.

Running to the doorway.

Seeing this, Ye Shi was shocked. Wasn’t that Aunt Qiu!

As she ran to the door, she eagerly embraced the figure outside, whispering coquettishly, "Why did you come so late today? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Zhang Hexong the old fool had some business to attend to and left. Such a good opportunity tonight, yet you come to find me now when we could have had more time together."

Aunt Qiu playfully pounded on the man’s chest as she spoke, and in the dim light, Ye Shi suppressed her shock, carefully leaning closer with her ear.

She peered through the gaps in the fence and saw the man’s face. It was... their coachman.

Ah!! That little bitch Aunt Qiu dared to have an affair right under their noses.

Isn’t this an excellent opportunity for her?

Imagining Zhang Hexong discovering that his cherished concubine was involved with a lowly coachman would turn his face pale with anger, possibly causing him to cough up blood!

Ye Shi clenched her hands tightly, wishing she could expose their affair right away.

But as she turned her head, she realized it wasn’t the best time, as no one else had witnessed it. Relying on her words alone, she wouldn’t be able to convince against the two of them.

Moreover, Zhang Hexong at present was unwilling to listen to her, possibly even bringing trouble upon herself.

While she was contemplating, Aunt Qiu and the coachman walked out of the yard, heading towards a shaded area in the woods.

Ye Shi saw this and quickly followed.

Once they entered a shed at the village entrance, the shameless sounds of the two gradually emerged.
