Demon Hairpin II: My wayward Ex-wife

Chapter 23

The doctor who was responsible for taking
concubine Lin's pulse knelt down in front of the
Marquis. He was hemming and hawing and seemed
to be hesitating. Like he wanted to say something
but dared not to.
Fu Yanlin impatiently shouted, "Hurry up!"
The doctor flinched, his face full of sweat, and
answered in a trembling voice.
"Marquis, the
reason for concubine Lin's miscarriage was due
to... due to not eating foods beneficial to the health
of the fetus.
As soon as the words came out, everyone was
shocked. When Mu Huanging heard it, her heart
jumped and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Fu Yanlin's expression also became gloomy. He
slowly opened his mouth.
"Speak clearly. Do not
hold back a single word."
"Yes....
" The doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead
and reported the entire results of his diagnoses.
This matter was not very complicated. Concubine
Lin's daily meals had been tampered with by
someone so that they were not conducive to fetus
health. Concubine Lin ate it so the baby was gone.

As soon as the words came out, everyone was
shocked. When Mu Huanqing heard it, her heart
jumped and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Fu Yanlin's expression also became gloomy. He
slowly opened his mouth. "Speak clearly. Do not
hold back a single word."
"Yes..." The doctor wiped the sweat on his forehead
and reported the entire results of his diagnoses.
This matter was not very complicated. Concubine
Lin's daily meals had been tampered with by
someone so that they were not conducive to fetus
health. Concubine Lin ate it so the baby was gone.
Fu Yanlin's complexion turned ashen and
immediately ordered people to search the Marquis
mansion from top to bottom. The old madam also
became extremely upset when she heard about it.
Among the spectators, some women were restless,
some sneered, some only lowered their heads
without speaking.
When a bag of safflowers was found in the bricks of
Mu Huanqing's courtyard, she was first stunned
then seemingly smiled in awareness.
She did not argue and did not defend herself. She
just waited to see how the Marquis household
would deal with her. What she was rewarded with
was an order. An order that she was to pack her
things and leave the Marquis house to live in a
country village.

Mu Huanging raised her eyebrows. She didn't cry
or shout, she didn't even resist. She only nodded
her head and replied to the steward Zhao Wei, "I
understand."
The steward was stunned. The reason the old
madam had him inform the young madam was that
if she began to make a fuss, he could find a way to
restrain the young madam. But when the young
madam heard the order, she didn't question it and
didn't argue. Just said one line, that she
understood. It was as if this news was not a big deal
to her.
When Mu Huanqing saw that the steward was
stupified, she asked. "Does the steward have
something else to say?"
The steward couldn't help but wonder if the young
madam didn't understand what he said.
"The old madam means that this house does not
suit the young madam. It is better to ask the young
madam to go to the countryside for a period of time
for proper rest. Trusting that the young madam will
definitely like the mountains and water of the
village." The steward repeated.
Old madam's meaning? She thinks that it was Fu
Yanlin's meaning!

Mu Huanqing also didn't expose him and just
nodded and smiled. "I will also ask the steward to
inform my mother-in-law that I will not be able to
filially serve mother-in-law in the future. I entreat
her to take care of herself."
Since she knows clearly that she is being chased
away to the countryside, how could she be so
unperturbed? Is it because she is backed by Lord
Mu? The steward ridiculed her in his heart but
didn't show it in his face and just smilingly agreed.
"Then politely asking the young madam to pack up
for an early morning departure." The steward had
received the Marquis's will and didn't stall. In one
or two days, they need to chase this woman out of
the house.
"No need to wait till tomorrow. It is still early now
and the weather is fair. Let's depart in an hour."
The steward froze again before continuing to smile.
"So be it, this small one will get someone to prepare
the carriage.
After the steward left, Mu Huanging turned around
to smile at Liu Yun and Liu Mu. "There are so
many people watching over this courtyard yet none
of them saw me smuggle safflowers in. But when
something happens, that safflower was so easily
found. Tell me, isn't this trick too contradictory?"
