Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Desperately Smearing (4)_1

The doctor examined Zhao Liniang and quickly administered acupuncture, saying she would wake up soon. Then he checked on Pei Wenjie, and after the examination, confirmed that the cause of death was indeed suffocation, smothered to death by a pillow.

Zhao Liniang took a deep breath, woke up, and immediately burst into a despairing cry, causing a huge commotion, accusing Qian Wanxiu of murdering her son, "...It was you who killed my son! You couldn’t tolerate the two of us, initially pretending to be nice and welcoming me into the family, but then nourishing me every day with rich foods, causing my baby to grow too big, leading to a difficult childbirth. From the start, you planned a double murder to rid yourself of us both! I survived the difficult labor, and my son didn’t die, only for you to secretly harm him again! Qian Wanxiu, you wretched woman! You evil and resentful villainess! I will never let you off in this lifetime! My son’s restless spirit won’t let you off either! I’m going to report this to the officials! I’m going to accuse you of murder!"

Knowing she would make a scene and blame everything on her, Qian Wanxiu’s face turned grim, and she rebuked sternly, "Shut your mouth! If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have let you in the door in the first place! If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have waited until now! It was the wet nurse who killed Wenjie! Someone bought her off to harm him, to create chaos in our family!"

"Nonsense! It was you! It was you who killed my son! Pay with your life for my son! Pay with your life! You evil wretch!" Zhao Liniang screamed hoarsely, sobbing as she lunged at Qian Wanxiu, ready to tear her apart.

Qian Wanxiu quickly grabbed hold of Lady Chen’s legs for support.

Pei Zongli stepped forward and embraced Zhao Liniang to stop her, "Liniang! Liniang, don’t be impulsive! Wenjie’s death is too suspicious, just listen to my explanation first!"

"I won’t listen! You’re also on the side of that vicious woman, bullying mother and son! Now my son is dead! I’ve got nothing left! Look at him! His eyes are still open! He was murdered, he died with his eyes open!" Seeing her son, who was only a few months old, with his purplish face and bulging, unseeing eyes, Zhao Liniang felt a pain as if her heart were being sliced by knives, and she wished she could strangle Qian Wanxiu and tear her to pieces!

The wet nurse knew that Zhao Liniang might be the only one to believe her now, crawled over on her knees, crying and shouting, "Maternal Aunt Zhao! Maternal Aunt Zhao! It wasn’t me who killed the young master! I went to fetch water for the young master to cool his forehead, fearing he might get another fever. It’s Lady Chen! When I came out after fetching the water, I saw her in the courtyard, and the door to the room wasn’t properly shut. As soon as I entered the room, the young master was gone, already smothered!"

Zhao Liniang recalled that earlier, Lady Chen said she was going to the outhouse and had been gone for quite a while; her gaze was now like a piercing sword, fixed intensely on Lady Chen, "Did you kill my son!?"

"It was clearly the wet nurse who killed him, don’t wrongfully accuse others! I just went to use the outhouse, and she herself said, fetching a basin of water took only a moment. Besides her, who would have had the time to harm someone!? Someone must have bought her off to cause harm!" Lady Chen had already firmly taken Qian Wanxiu’s side, helping Pei Wensheng keep the secret.

"Was it she who bought you off, right!?" Zhao Liniang pointed at Qian Wanxiu, seething with hatred.

Lady Zhu’s face turned stern, "It was Pei Qin’s bunch of little bitches! Not Wanxiu!"

Zhao Liniang still didn’t believe that Pei Qin had directed the wet nurse to harm someone. The biggest suspect was Qian Wanxiu! Only she saw mother and son as thorns in her side, wishing to eliminate them both. Before, her daily nourishments had all been a sinister ruse. She finally understood, evading one disaster, only for Qian Wanxiu to make another attempt on her life, killing her son!

Seeing Zhao Liniang didn’t believe Qian Wanxiu’s words, the wet nurse clung to accusing Lady Chen, because she had indeed seen Lady Chen in the courtyard.

Qian Wanxiu called for Mother Qian, Shu Hua, the Cook woman, and servants together to restrain the wet nurse, "You killed the young master and still have the audacity to deny and blame others. You negligent slave deserve a beating to death for your neglect of duty!"
