Chapter 303: Shut Your Mouth, Disobedient Son

his divorce decree, she could go to the yamen another day, have them seal it, and then she would be completely separated from Wu Anbo's mansion.Gu Jing Sheng couldn't help but get agitated and asked,...Hearing this bad news, both the Zhang family and the Chen family couldn't help but feel a chill for Meng Jinyang.

If the child was still alive, there would be room for maneuver. Now that the child is gone, if you cannot prove your innocence, the charge of harming your own family will stick to you.

A noblewoman's heart is filled with concern for her son, yet she would do such a thing to his concubine and create such a scandal. There is only one outcome: being banished or sent to live in seclusion at the family temple.

However, once she is found guilty, Meng Jinyao will most likely be divorced. After all, no man can bear having a wife who has feelings for another man, especially when that man is her own son. If this gets out, it would be a huge embarrassment.

Meng Jinyao frowned slightly and asked the maidservant, "You said that Li shi miscarried Call the doctor over, I'll ask him myself."

Before the maidservant could even respond, Gu Xiuming stormed over, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at Meng Jinyang. He roared, "Mother, are you satisfied now Wan'er's child is gone, my firstborn, before it even had a chance to be born, died at your hands. I know I was wrong to elope that day, but the child was innocent! How could you be so cruel"

Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and she scolded, "Xiuming, as a junior, how do you speak to your mother This matter is only Li's mistress and servant's one-sided words. There must be a misunderstanding."

Gu Xiuming refused to listen to reason, pointing at Meng Jin Yao and questioning: “If it wasn’t her, who else could it be Could it be that a maid dared to push Wan'er Now the child is gone, and Wan'er says she did it. She’s crying and begging me to make the decision.”

Meng Jinyáo frowned and asked, "Xiuming, did Li's really have a miscarriage"

Gu Xiuming countered, "Could there be any falsehood to this"

Meng Jinyáo looked at him for a long time and replied, "I don't believe it. How could you have a miscarriage Call the doctor over, and I'll ask him myself.

Gu Xiuming, having heard this, also satisfied her request and ordered the maid: "Go, bring the doctor over. Let the doctor explain things to her clearly."

The maidservant responded and immediately went to fetch the doctor.

Soon after, the physician was brought over.

Gu Xiuming said irritably, "The doctor is here. Mother, ask whatever you want to ask."

Meng Jin Yao sized up the doctor for the first time. He was an ordinary-looking man of average height, around forty or so. She opened her lips and asked, "Doctor, did Li's wife really have a miscarriage"

The doctor replied, "Madam, Lady Li suffered a miscarriage, but she is not in any danger. She just hurt her body and needs to recuperate well, otherwise it will be difficult for her to conceive again."

Hearing this, Meng Jin Yao's brow furrowed even tighter: "She only tripped and fell, how could she possibly miscarry"

The doctor explained: "During the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus is not yet stable and prone to miscarriage. Some women may experience a miscarriage if they suddenly get up from a sitting position. The aunt fell quite hard this time, causing her to have a miscarriage."

Gu Xiuming glared fiercely at Meng Jin Yao, his voice laced with anger: "Mother, there are witnesses present, and the doctor has already examined her. Wan'er's child in her womb is gone. Now what else do you have to say I never thought you would be so vicious, not even sparing a child that wasn't born! Our Gu family having a poisonous woman like you as our daughter-in-law is truly a misfortune for the family!"

Meng Jin Yao ignored Gu Xiu Ming's barking, not even sparing him a glance. Her eyes were fixed on the doctor: "Doctor, are you sure you haven't misdiagnosed This concerns a person's life."

The doctor's face changed for a moment, then his voice became firm: "I've been practicing medicine for over twenty years and have treated countless pregnant women. There's no way I could misdiagnose something so simple."

"Nonsense!" Meng Jinyang rebuked angrily, then raised her voice and shouted, "Come here!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone in the room, including Gu Xiuming and the doctor, were stunned.

Soon, the servant who was waiting outside in the courtyard heard the summons and rushed in to obey.

Meng Jinyáo ordered: "Tie up this quack doctor who's spouting nonsense!"

Yes, madam.

Immediately, two strong servants stepped forward and held the doctor down. They took out a rope that had already been prepared and bound him. They were experienced; when their master told them to wait, it meant someone had made a mistake. So they came prepared with ropes, just in case there were too many mistakes, and they didn't have enough rope. They even brought extra.

Has a doctor ever seen such a sight

The doctor immediately panicked, his voice trembling as he said: "Madam, I truly didn't misdiagnose! The concubine is indeed having a miscarriage." He then looked at Gu Xiuming and pleaded, "Sir, please plead on my behalf. I really didn't misdiagnose!"

Gu Xiuming never expected Meng Jinyao to be so savage. With so many people present, she dared to have her servants tie up the doctor. He felt that she was truly spoiled by her father and became furious, saying: "Mother, even if you want to deny it, what use is tying up the doctor So many people are watching, your elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law are here, and there are also witnesses who saw you commit evil. Even if you bring this to the yamen, it will be your fault. You are harming the descendants of the Gu family!"

Gu Xiuming finished speaking and then looked at the panicked doctor and the servants whose movements were slightly slow after hearing his words. He continued, "Madam is harming her own family's descendants, are you helping a tyrant Even if you go to my father, it is still her fault. When she is punished, you will also be punished, so quickly release the doctor!"

Zhang saw that the situation had escalated to this point, and it was very unfavorable for Meng Jinyang. Seeing her young age, she felt like a child of her own. Today's events, she didn't know what consequences Meng Jinyang would face.

In a flash, Zhang shi thought of her daughter who had suffered in Marquis Wu'an's residence. She felt a sliver of pity and temporarily put aside her petty calculations against her sister-in-law. At this moment, she genuinely hoped for her well-being and gently advised: "Third sister-in-law, please calm down. Why don't we wait for Third Brother to come back before resolving this If you act rashly now and Third Brother finds out what you've done when he returns, he might become even angrier."

Chen also advised, "That's right, third younger sister, if there's anything, wait for your third brother to come back and speak. He is the Minister of Dali Temple, his judgment is like a god, when he comes back, he will definitely clear your name."

Meng Jiny Yao looked gratefully at her two sisters-in-law and said in a soft voice, "Thank you both, but I know how to solve this matter. Please trust me." She then said to the servant, "What are you standing there for Quickly tie up this quack doctor who's spouting nonsense! If he runs away, I'll only have you two to answer to!"

The servants looked at each other, but dared not disobey. Between the mistress and the young master, they had to follow the mistress's orders. In the end, they bound the doctor tightly according to Meng Jinyáo's wishes.

Seeing this, Gu Xiuming was furious: "Mother is really audacious! You truly believe Father would protect your misdeeds He has always been just and strict. Not even his wife or son have ever been spared."

Meng Jinyao's face flushed with anger as she rebuked, "You wretch! Silence yourself!"

Gu Xiuming: "You..."

Just as the mother and son were at each other's throats, a young man in dark winter clothing walked in from outside.ly, it must be that he knew he couldn't live any longer. This letter was probably found by Liu, the official who came to investigate the case. Liu discovered Wei's affairs by following the clues and w...
