Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 328 Master Yu Learns the Truth

Zijuan and Xueyan returned home in a daze, as if they had lost their souls.

Along the way, the image of their brother kept appearing in their minds.

Just now when they arrived in front of the abandoned baby tower, their steps became extremely heavy.

With trembling hands, they carefully placed the child into the tower. However, in just that moment, instinct made them unable to let go of this little life.

So he hurriedly took the child out and held him tightly in his arms.

In this way, they put the child in, and then couldn't help but take it out to take another look.

Every time I let go, it's as painful as a knife, and every hug is filled with deep attachment.

After going through this several times, despite their heartbreak, reason finally prevailed over emotion. With tears in their eyes and gritted teeth, they reluctantly put the child back into the abandoned baby tower.

You know, this is the child they have been looking forward to since Xiangyun became pregnant!

Zijuan and Xueyan are still unmarried young ladies!

After this torture, their hearts were already broken beyond recognition, like petals ravaged by the wind and scattered all over the ground.

The two of them were wondering how Xiangyun would live in the future!

At this time, they had just returned to the mansion and saw Xiangyun head-on.

Xiangyun's eyes were red and swollen, her face tear-stained, and she had cried so much that not a single tear remained. She slumped to the ground, staring blankly at Zijuan and Xueyan as they slowly approached.

Seeing this, Zijuan and Xueyan felt very distressed and hurried forward to hug Xiangyun tightly in their arms.

Xiangyun asked in a voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, "Have you put... my brother... away?"

Before she finished speaking, Zijuan and Xueyan could no longer suppress their inner sadness and burst into tears.

At the same time, Master Yu also stood silently by the side with a serious expression.

He waved his hand and ordered his servants to quickly bury the wet nurse in the cemetery.

The wet nurse was a miserable person. When she gave birth, the baby stayed in her belly for too long, and his face was blue and purple when he was born. He cried twice like a kitten and then died.

Her husband disliked her for killing the child, so he kicked her out when she was in confinement.

It happened that Xiangyun's child was born at that time. Over the past few months, she treated the boy as her own child.

Mr. Yu used the excuse of going to bury his wet nurse to specifically instruct Zijuan and the others to take good care of Xiangyun, and promised that he would be back soon.

He arranged for his servants to place the wet nurse's body in the cemetery, while he went to the city to choose a coffin for the wet nurse. The servants dug the grave according to his instructions.

After Mr. Yu had decided on the coffin, the image of his brother appeared involuntarily in his mind, and he stood at the door in a daze for a moment.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder. Startled, he turned around abruptly and took a closer look, only to see that the person in front of him was none other than his former schoolmate.

When the man saw Master Yu, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and said:

"Brother Yu, it's really rare to see you. How come you have the free time to come out and stroll around today?"

Master Yu came back to his senses, subconsciously reached out and touched the beard on his cheek, and responded with a smile:

"Brother Fu, it's been a long time since we last met! I hope you are doing well!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Fu warmly invited Mr. Yu to his shop for tea and a chat. It turned out that he ran a medicine shop on this street.

Mr. Yu readily agreed and walked into the store with Brother Fu.

The two sat opposite each other, sipping tea and chatting. Before they knew it, the tea had been passed three times.

At this time, Brother Fu smiled, his eyes fell on Master Yu, and he nodded and praised:

"Brother Yu, I have to say, you are really lucky!

I heard from my sister-in-law that you recently took in a concubine, and she also gave birth to a big fat boy for you. It can be said to be a double blessing! "

After hearing this, Master Yu instantly became extremely confused. His brows knitted tightly together, his eyes widened, and he asked anxiously in an incredulous tone:

"When did my wife come to you to get medicine?"

Brother Fu, who was standing aside, smiled and replied slowly:

"Just a few days ago, your wife came to get some medicine for treating colds.

Moreover, she also bought some red thorns, saying that she would put it on steamed buns to poison rats!

When Master Yu heard this, he was completely stunned, thinking to himself: "Crane's Beak Red? No, the wet nurse died from taking Crane's Beak Red! What...what on earth is going on?"

Thinking of this, he could no longer remain calm, and even lost the desire to continue chatting with Brother Fu. He hurriedly bowed and said goodbye, saying that he had urgent matters to attend to, and then ran towards home as fast as a gust of wind.

After galloping all the way, Master Yu was exhausted and out of breath when he finally arrived back home.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Yu sitting leisurely in the corridor, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand and savoring it carefully.

Seeing Mr. Yu returning in such a hurry, Mrs. Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

She opened her red lips slightly and said slowly:

"Oh, it's really rare today, is the sun rising from the west?

Master, you are usually so busy that you are rarely seen. Why are you so anxious to return home today?"

Mr. Yu was in no mood to chat with her. He immediately rushed forward, snatched the teacup from Mrs. Yu's hand, and stared at her with wide eyes.

With his voice slightly trembling with anger, he shouted:

"Let me ask you, was the wet nurse poisoned by you?"

At this moment, Mrs. Yu stretched out her hand calmly, slowly picked up the teacup on the table, and then raised her head without hesitation and poured it into her mouth in big gulps.

After she finished drinking, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer, and she glanced at Master Yu with contempt, whispering softly: "

My Lord, your words are really puzzling. Why should I poison someone?

I have always wanted to take my adopted son in as my own and love him dearly!"

When Master Yu heard this, he was immediately furious. He rushed forward, grabbed Madam Yu's wrist tightly, and shouted:

"Stop your sweet talk! Swear on your eighty-year-old mother's life, was it you who poisoned the wet nurse?"

Madam Yu didn't even bother to look at him. She just gently shook off Mr. Yu's hand and stood up slowly.

While she was rubbing her wrist which had been hurt by Master Yu's grip with her other hand, she was about to turn around and go back to her room as if nothing had happened.

However, how could Mr. Yu let her go so easily?

He suddenly shouted and instantly drew a sword with a cold glow from his waist.

The tip of the sword pointed directly at Zhen'er, who was standing beside him, pale with fear and trembling all over, and he shouted sternly:

"Tell me! Did you go with your wife to buy that damned red dung?"

Poor Zhen'er was so scared at this time that she was at a loss. She looked at Mrs. Yu in horror, hoping that she would come forward to protect her.

But who would have thought that at this critical moment, a figure would come rushing over like a gust of wind.

It turned out to be Xiu'er. She was holding tightly in her hands a few yellowed prescriptions and a few packets of herbs with a pungent smell.

She trotted along, shouting:

Madam, can we just throw these medicine away?"

Master Yu felt as if a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind, and he understood everything in his heart as clearly as a mirror - it turned out that it was his wife who poisoned the wet nurse, and thus indirectly killed his brother!

This truth hit him like a heavy hammer in the heart, making him so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

In an instant, Master Yu seemed to have lost all his strength. His legs went limp and he squatted powerlessly on the cold ground.

The sword held tightly in his hand also fell straight down, making a crisp and harsh sound.

Her brother died and Xiangyun was heartbroken. All these tragedies were caused by the woman who had slept with her for many years!

He suppressed the surging anger and grief in his heart and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat.

Then he staggered to Mrs. Yu and sat down, staring at her with eyes full of despair, anger and disbelief.

After a moment's silence, he finally couldn't help but speak angrily, "Why? Why are you so cruel to harm an innocent baby?"
