CHAPTER 395: CHAPTER 397: STATE OF MIND (1)

Xiqiu turned to look and noticed that her belly was slightly bulging, obviously indicating pregnancy.

Tong Xiyang, originally weak in momentum, suddenly flushed with anger upon seeing the visitor, sat up abruptly, pointed to the door, and cursed, "Wretch, what are you doing here, get out!"

The woman immediately reddened her eyes, looked pitifully at Ren Jun, and sobbed, "My lord!" Her face full of grievance, "I... I just came to see my sister."

It seems that this woman is also one of Ren Jun’s concubines.

Here, Xiuyun supported Tong Xiyang, seeing her furious appearance, thought of the woman’s strategies opposite, and said with reddened eyes, "Liuzhi, the Lady’s health is already like this, please do us a kindness and leave quickly."

Only then did Xiqiu remember that the woman before her was one of the two maidservants Lady initially assigned to Tong Xiyang.

First Young Madam Ren also frowned with disgust, and as soon as Ren Jun saw Xiuyun scolding Liuzhi, his face darkened, he raised his hand and slapped Xiuyun, angrily cursing, "Wretch, didn’t you notice she is pregnant, if you cause her to miscarry, your death a hundred times would not be enough to lament." After finishing, he quickly went to Liuzhi, tenderly asking, "I know, I know, you mean well."

Xiuyun covered her face, tears streaming down in grievance, saying Aunt Liu’s child matters, but isn’t the child in the Lady’s belly noble too!

Liuzhi, in front of everyone, leaned on Ren Jun’s shoulder and began to sob.

Watching Ren Jun embrace his concubine without regard for others, Tong Xiyang clenched the blanket in her hand, almost tearing it: "Well, Third Master surely speaks well, her child is precious, our child doesn’t matter, if none then none, even if Third Master personally kills our child, is it fine?!"

After she finished, both First Young Madam Ren and Madam Jiang’s faces changed, everyone’s earlier politeness was because the thin window paper wasn’t broken, now the unspoken words are out, blocking everyone’s retreat.

Madam Jiang cold-faced stood up, shielding Tong Xiyang saying, "What is all this, in front of us, another dramatic act?!" Speaking, she told Xiuyun, "Go invite the Countess and say that we are taking our third young lady back, saving Third Master from daily irritation."

Xiqiu secretly frowned, Madam Jiang’s words sounded impetuous.

Is it really decided to take Tong Xiyang back?

With Ren Jun’s behavior, it’s likely that even if Tong Xiyang lived back home for ten years, he may not go to fetch her, without a divorce system, a woman from her husband’s home attempting to gain a foothold outside is as hard as climbing to the sky, Xiqiu knew regardless of her disapproval, the law and society’s moral perspective had already formed, Tong Xiyang had no other choices, if Ren Jun didn’t pick her up, ultimately she’d have to return herself, by then all reputation would be lost.

Xiqiu looked at Madam Jiang, just as Madam Jiang suddenly turned her head, quickly winked at her.

Xiqiu paused, realizing Madam Jiang had deliberately said that.

She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On this side, First Young Madam Ren stopped Xiuyun, cold-faced she scolded Liuzhi, "Can’t you see there are guests here, hurry up and leave!" After speaking, she couldn’t help but glare at Ren Jun, then turned to Madam Jiang to speak, "Mother’s health is also not good, if she sees these worrisome things, she will be distressed, dear mother-in-law if you have something to discuss, do so with me, I guarantee a satisfactory response for you."

First Young Madam Ren then went to speak with Tong Xiyang, "Third sister-in-law, I am not saying this to criticize you, you know how Third Master is, though he appears heartless, he has always respected and loved you in his heart, speaking such words is really too harsh, he is a man, leave him some dignity, besides, the loss of the child, though he says nothing, how could he not feel hurt inside... You’re pushing Third Master away with those cruel words..." Speaking, she coldly turned to Liuzhi, "Doesn’t it just suit the vile characters, delighting them."

Tong Xiyang then responded, angry at Liuzhi said, "If I am not comfortable, nobody should be comfortable." She pointed at Liuzhi, "Such ungrateful thing, merely a small maid, now dreaming of becoming the mistress, let me tell you, regardless of who supports you, I will not let you off easily."

Xiqiu slightly raised an eyebrow, thought of Lady, Madam Jiang also showed a peculiar expression.

After Tong Xiyang finished, Liuzhi hid behind Ren Jun, her voice low yet audible to all, "My lord, this servant knows her status, being loved by you in this life, even if dead, I wouldn’t regret." Then she covered her belly, "Except that I am reluctant to part with the child in my belly." After speaking, suddenly from Ren Jun’s back, she stepped out, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Tong Xiyang, "Madam, please spare this servant, from today onwards, I will eat vegetarian and pray, wishing madam a healthy life and love forever with my lord, growing old together."

This sounded much better than what Tong Xiyang said.

Sure enough, Ren Jun tenderly helped her up, looking at Tong Xiyang said, "Wretch, besides being jealous, what else can you do, Liu’er is now carrying my flesh and blood, if you harm her in the slightest, I will never forgive you." After finishing, looking at First Young Madam Ren said, "Sister-in-law, let them call their mother, let them go and call, I, Ren Family’s Third Master, would I be afraid of a small illegitimate daughter?"

Xiqiu saw a flicker of bright light quickly pass in Liuzhi’s eyes.

Tong Xiyang’s face turned pale, "Third Master despises this humble one’s background? Then why did Third Master initially seek me for marriage!" Ren Jun snickered coldly, about to speak, First Young Madam Ren quickly stepped forward to stop him, fearing he would say even uglier words, "All of you shut up!" Finished, looking at Ren Jun said, "Third brother, how could you be so muddled!"

Then she turned to Tong Xiyang, "Third sister-in-law, ease your mind, we all know your grievances, this matter, big sister guarantees, I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Ren Jun may not count, but First Young Madam Ren being Tong Xiyang’s sister-in-law, also the Heir’s wife of Marquis Mansion, speaking so humbly, Madam Jiang couldn’t handle it tightly, she looked at Tong Xiyang solely crying, unable to reply which seemed difficult to calm, said, "Eldest Sister-in-law Ren, invite the Countess at once, though I am also unwilling to see them like this, after all, third young lady entered Ren Mansion, we two houses have become in-laws, it’s not just the third young lady and third young master’s bond, but ours too." Suddenly changing the tone, "But bonds can’t be forced, seeing third young master like this, I am really infuriated!" Finished, wiping her tears, sat on the bed beside Tong Xiyang, lovingly holding Tong Xiyang...

First Young Madam Ren squinted her eyes, glared at Xiuyun, then shouted at Ren Jun, "Third brother!" Signaling him to say something softer.

Who knows, Ren Jun released Liuzhi, his eyes swept across Madam Jiang, then fell on Tong Xiyang, brows furrowed, "Sister-in-law, what’s the point of saying these, she wants to go home then let her go, I want to see who ends up begging whom."
