The Mute Wife Who Brings Prosperity-Chapter 652 - 614: Miscarriage (Second Update)

She felt irritable and didn’t plan to stay long in Feixue Courtyard. She had to go back and come up with a plan.

After comforting Su Dai for a few sentences, Su Yi stood up to leave. Who would have thought Su Dai would suddenly grab her arm, sobbing so hard she almost couldn’t make a sound, and after a long while, she said, "Aunt, it’s really not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that I... I’m insignificant. Even if I spoke up, the Young Master wouldn’t listen."

The more she cried, the more the tears flowed.

Su Yi had never realized before that Su Dai was such a despicable little person. Not helping her was fine, but it seemed she still wanted her to smile and forgive, not holding a grudge against her?

Su Yi was furious, angered in her heart, and struggled to pull her arm free.

Su Dai held on tightly, still continuously crying, intermittently asking her aunt for forgiveness.

Completely enraged, Su Yi pushed her back with force using her wrist.

Su Dai lost her balance, her lower back hitting against the rosewood chair, and there was a pained "ah" as she slipped to the ground, her face turning ashen, and before long, blood was visible.

Hearing the commotion, the servants outside rushed in only to see the Heir’s wife standing there motionless, while Aunt Su lay on the ground, clutching her stomach in pain, unable to utter a sound.

"Aunt, Aunt, what’s wrong?" Two young maids were so frightened they didn’t know what to do.

"I, my stomach hurts so much." Su Dai’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as she mustered all her strength just to complete a sentence.

One of the maids immediately instructed the other, "Quick, quick go get the household doctor!"

Suddenly, Feixue Courtyard was in chaos, and bowl after bowl of bloody water was carried out.

Su Yi stood outside, feeling the cold wind, not knowing what exactly was happening inside.

Lu Yanbin received the news and rushed over, seeing Su Yi standing dazedly under the corridor, his anger surged, walking up to her and glaring, "What exactly did you do to her!"

"I didn’t, it wasn’t me." Su Yi spoke, realizing she didn’t even have the strength to argue, only shaking her head numbly.

Veins bulged on Lu Yanbin’s forehead, the muscles at his mouth twitching, clearly enraged to his limit, "If anything happens to her and the child, I’ll never let you off!"

Su Yi didn’t know if she responded to Lu Yanbin in the end, she only laughed bitterly, wave after wave.

She never thought after scheming against people all her life, she’d be dealt a fatal blow by her last relative.

If anything happened to the Lu family’s first great-grandchild because of her, her life would be over.

She didn’t know why Su Dai suddenly turned on her but saw with her own eyes the extent Su Dai went to add guilt to her, even going so far as to kill the unborn child with her own hands.

Ha-ha, so indeed, the Su Family are cold by nature, even after being in the Lu Family for so long, their actions still carried that Su Family style.

Inside the main room.

Su Dai’s body had been cleaned. She lay unconscious on the four-poster bed.

Lu Yanbin sat by the bed, holding her cold fingertips, repeatedly saying, "Daidai, you can have another child. You must be fine, or else I..."

Or else without her, he didn’t know what he would do.

When he heard the servants report the miscarriage of Aunt Su in the front yard, Lu Yanbin’s heart shattered into pieces. Without time to feel the pain, he rushed to Feixue Courtyard, only to see this scene—the child was gone, and she lay there as white as a sheet, unresponsive.

"Earlier, the maids were all outside, unaware of what happened inside, only hearing Aunt Su keep begging the Madam not to make things difficult for her, as if the Madam wanted Aunt to plead for someone." reported the maid Ruyi.

"It was to have Aunt discuss with the Young Master to plead with the Young Master for the Madam to stay." another maid added.

At this point, Lu Yanbin’s eyes were already red with hatred.

"You all, bring that wicked woman in here. I want to ask her face to face!"

Seeing that the Young Master was angry, Ruyi panicked and hurried out, soon bringing Su Yi in.

Afraid of disturbing Su Dai’s rest, Lu Yanbin had already moved to the outer room, sitting on the Arhat Bed, face cold, eyes narrowed.

It must be said, when angry, he was exactly like his father, Lu Pingzhou.

In the past, Su Yi would have been scared because she felt guilty, but in this matter, she suddenly straightened her back and, without waiting for Lu Yanbin to question her, took the lead to say, "It wasn’t me who did it, I did not push her."

"If it wasn’t you, could Daidai have pushed herself down?" Lu Yanbin’s tone was icy cold, clearly having reached his limit.

"What if I say she fell on her own?" Su Yi’s expression was numb.

"Ridiculous!" Lu Yanbin slammed the kang table with his palm. "If you don’t confess truthfully, I’ll have you face the old master and the old madam right away."

Su Yi frowned, "Lu Yanbin, do you realize who you’re interrogating? I am your legitimate mother!"

"Does being a legitimate mother allow you to harm another’s unborn child for your own greed?" Lu Yanbin sneered, "Having a legitimate mother like you is the greatest shame of my life."

Su Yi’s head buzzed, "No, it really wasn’t me, Brother Bin, believe me, I indeed suggested she would say a few words of praise to you, and then you would help plead for me to stay in the Capital, but she didn’t agree, so I didn’t force her anymore. As for what happened afterwards, I don’t know why it turned out like this."

Lu Yanbin had nothing to say to her and pointed to the matron guarding the door, "Take madam to see the old master and the old madam, and inform them that Aunt Su’s child is gone."

This clearly showed he wanted the old master and old madam to preside over justice.

Two matrons quickly escorted Su Yi out of Feixue Courtyard, heading toward the old madam’s yard.

While the two outside were arguing, Su Dai had already woken up, staring blankly at the canopy above, somewhat dazed. Then she raised her hand, habitually touching her abdomen, the little life there no longer existed, all turning into blood flowing out from her body.

Su Dai closed her eyes, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

She indeed married into the Lu Family initially for revenge, but after entering the door, Lu Yanbin treated her well, even showing signs of favoring her over his wife. Su Dai wasn’t foolish and understood how to make the right choice. She had thought of living a good life with Lu Yanbin, but the household doctor diagnosed that the child had a problem and couldn’t be kept.

During these days, she pondered how to safely miscarry in a way acceptable to everyone.

And then, Su Yi just walked into it.

Originally, Su Dai did not intend to harm her; it was her own misdeeds that left her without mercy from the father-in-law.

When Lu Yanbin entered and saw her crying, he was frightened. In a few steps, he was at the bedside, gently wiping her tears with his fingertips at the corners of her eyes, "Daidai, don’t cry, don’t cry, if we’ve lost this child, we’ll have another in the future. Your health comes first."

Su Dai turned her head, looking at this man who cherished her deeply, and once again, her eyes uncontrollably welled up.

She thought of Su Yi; it was because Su Yi committed too many sins that she ended up abandoned by everyone, and even her own children died young.

Was she going to be the same because she participated in the Su Family’s extermination and had too many lives on her hands, that heaven intended to make her barren?

Collecting her thoughts, Su Dai hoarsely said, "Young Master, I’m sorry, I couldn’t save it."

"It’s not your fault, it’s not your fault, it’s that viper’s doing." Lu Yanbin held her hand tightly, "Daidai, rest assured, I will not let her have a good end."

Su Dai took a deep breath, "Young Master, have you not considered, what if I can never again give you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yanbin reached out to cover her mouth, "That won’t happen, my Daidai is so kind-hearted, Heaven is just; if we lose one, maybe next time there will be twins, yes, twins."

Su Dai was amused by him, her pale lips gently pulling into a smile, "Young Master, actually I am just a concubine, you should spend more energy on the Young Madam, otherwise a reputation for favoring a concubine over a wife will be bad for you."

Lu Yanbin frowned, "What others say, what does it matter to me? I only know that the one I wanted to marry was you, it was them who prevented you from being the legitimate wife. Now, no matter who they arrange, I have no interest."

——

Su Yi’s incident of pushing Su Dai to the point of miscarriage in order to stay in the Capital and beg for forgiveness soon spread throughout the Duke Jing Mansion.

In Yi’an Courtyard, the old madam’s face was somber, glaring at Su Yi standing in the hall, she asked the matron, "Has the Princely Heir arrived?"

The matron replied, "He should be arriving at our yard soon."

Just as the words were spoken, Lu Pingzhou strode in.

Already briefed by a servant on the way here, Lu Pingzhou’s expression was full of hostility. He hadn’t expected that just a short while after he left, this viper had caused so many issues.

"Su Yi, what explanation do you have this time?" Lu Pingzhou questioned her.

Although she knew that no one would believe her even if she told the truth, Su Yi was unwilling to bear the blame, she bit her lip and looked at Lu Pingzhou after a long while, "If I said it wasn’t me, would you believe me?"
