Chapter 84 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

Liang Yunyan got up and shook off Liang Ruosheng's hand that was trying to support her.

There was blood at the corner of her mouth as she looked at Hu Yunshen with a miserable smile.

"So, the general really loves his wife, but does the wife know what the general did behind her back?"

When Chen Qingyin heard this, she knew that Liang Yunyan was completely heartbroken.

Is this a dog-eat-dog situation?

Chen Qingyin pretended to be confused: "What's the matter?"

Hu Yunshen's face turned pale. "Madam, don't listen to her nonsense. I'll tell you the truth. Madam Liang has always had a crush on me, but I rejected her in every possible way, so she wanted to sow discord between us."

Liang Yunyan was hysterical: "Hu Yunshen, are you afraid too? Tell her, tell her the dirty things you did!"

Hu Lan stepped forward and slapped Liang Yunyan to the ground.

"My brother is right, you are such a bitch. Now my brother has finally come back and wants to live a good life with my sister-in-law, how dare you mess it up?"

Liang Yunyan covered her face and smiled sadly: "I can endure it, and I can wait. I was originally a girl from an honest family. I worked like a cow and a horse for your family, doing dirty and tiring work every day, but you treat me like this."

"Chen Qingyin, since they won't tell you, let me tell you. Hu Yunshen..."

Before Liang Yunyan finished speaking, she felt a pain at the back of her neck.

Her eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground.

Chen Qingyin was startled.

Everyone looked and saw Liang Ruosheng holding a stone in his hand.

Madam Hu gasped: "Did you knock your mother unconscious?"

Liang Ruosheng hurriedly threw away the stone. She stepped forward to check Liang Yunyan's breathing and was relieved to find that she had just fainted.

"I have no choice but to do this. My mother...my mother is insane. When she is mentally unstable, she will talk nonsense. After all, General Hu took us in and did us a favor. How could my mother repay kindness with hatred?"

Liang Ruosheng said, looking at Hu Yunshen: "General, can you please call someone to help me send my mother back."

Hu Yunshen nodded doubtfully: "Okay."

He waved his hand and two servants carried Liang Yunyan away.

Liang Ruosheng bowed and left in a hurry.

Hu Mianmian held her chin with her small hands and squinted her eyes to watch the wonderful show.

If Liang Yunyan is selfish and stupid, then Liang Ruosheng is cunning and evil.

Hu Mianmian finally understood that most of the things Liang Yunyan did were the result of Liang Ruosheng's advice behind the scenes.

Otherwise, with Liang Yunyan's brain, she would never have come up with the plan of revealing the pregnancy-preserving drug at the birthday party.

Hu Yunshen held Chen Qingyin's hand and said, "Madam, don't worry. I haven't done anything wrong to let you down."

"Really?" Chen Qingyin pretended to be confused, "But Madam Liang seems to have something to say."

Hu Yunshen: "You also heard it. Her daughter said it herself. She is insane. How can you take her words seriously?"

Old Madam Hu and Hu Lan looked at each other and helped Hu Yunshen to persuade Chen Qingyin.

"Yes, sister-in-law, my brother is loyal to you, and the heavens can see it."

At this moment, Hu Mianmian's soft voice interrupted: "Can you swear?"

Hu Yunshen immediately looked at the little guy and scolded him harshly: "Hu Mianmian, you don't know the rules again. How can a child interrupt when adults are talking?"

Hu Mianmian blinked her big round eyes: "But I read in the storybooks that if a man is truly loyal, he will swear to the heavens that he will never let his wife down, otherwise he will be struck by lightning. Why don't you swear?"

Hu Yunshen sneered: "Nonsense, how can you take the things in the storybook seriously?"

Chen Qingyin took the opportunity to follow her daughter's words and asked, "But husband, if you swear, I will feel more at ease."

Hu Yunshen's expression changed: "Madam..."

Chen Qingyin smiled: "It's just a matter of saying a few words to cheer me up. Can't my husband even do this?"

Hu Yun was silent for a moment.

Chen Qingyin shook off his hand: "Forget it, I asked for too much, husband, I will take Mianmian back first."

Unexpectedly, Hu Yunshen held her hand.

"Qingyin, if I fail you, God will strike me with lightning."

Hu Mianmian waved her little hand, and rumbling thunder sounded above her head.

Old Madam Hu was so frightened that she covered her head and screamed.

"Son, there is a god above you, don't speak carelessly!"

Hu Mianmian is laughing secretly, scaring you to death!

Hu Yunshen suppressed his fear and said, "Qingyin, are you willing to believe me now?"

Chen Qingyin looked up at the clear sky, but there was a faint sound of thunder.

She curled her lips slightly: "Of course I believe you."

I believe that there will be a day when you will be struck by lightning and die.

Nightfall.

Hu Lan called two maids who served her and beat them up.

"You two idiots, I always ask you to bury the residue of my pregnancy-preserving medicine, how come it was discovered anyway?"

The two maids knelt on the ground crying, "Second Miss, please spare us. Logically speaking, there is no way there could be any medicine residue."

"Yes, because in order not to be discovered, the servants secretly boiled the medicine in the yard and buried the residue on the spot. But Madam Liang said that she saw the pregnancy-preserving medicine on the stove in the kitchen. How... how is this possible?"

Hu Lan was stunned and frowned: "So, this pregnancy-preserving drug has nothing to do with me? Damn it, I admit it!"

It's really stupid when you think about it.

Hu Lan thought to herself, "If it's not mine, whose is it?"

The two maids shook their heads: "Then I don't know..."

at the same time.

Ning Guanzhou was practicing calligraphy in the study room of his mansion.

Feng Wu pushed the door open.

"My Lord, everything is just as you expected. I deliberately placed the pregnancy-preserving medicine in the kitchen, and it was exposed at Madam Hu's birthday banquet today. Tomorrow, the whole capital will know that the second daughter of the Hu family is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Minister of Revenue."

Ning Guanzhou hummed lightly.

This is his plan.

It was easier to hide the fact that Hu Lan was pregnant from those stupid people in the Hu family.

But if you want to hide it from Ning Guanzhou who has countless connections, it would be simply ridiculous.

He only needed to do a little investigation and then arrange for someone to put the pregnancy-preserving drugs in the kitchen.

This matter will naturally be revealed.

However, things went a little more smoothly than he expected.

Feng Wu added: "Hu Yunshen also returned home today. Before going to bed at night, he went to Madam Chen's door..."

Before he could finish his words, the pen in Ning Guanzhou's hand had broken.

Feng Wu knew his master's personality well, so he quickly explained: "It's just that Linlang opened the door and splashed water on her head. I heard it was the young lady's urinal..."

"Pfft." Ning Guanzhou laughed instantly.

He raised his head, and his cold face, like a banished immortal, was filled with a gentle smile.

"Our Mianmian is grown up now, how could she possibly use a urinal? But she must have done it on purpose to disgust Hu Yunshen. She is worthy of being my...Mianmian."

He swallowed the word "daughter".

Ning Guanzhou asked Feng Wu to go back and continue to observe secretly.

However, when he was practicing calligraphy, his mind was distracted.

If he could determine Mianmian's age, he would be able to determine whether she was his own child.

Hmm? ? Who told me to update more? My signal is not good... not good...
