Hui Niang never imagined that Yun Jiao would come to save Xiao Wan, and even discovered her drugging act.

Isn’t postpartum hemorrhage quite normal? How did she find out?

And those soup residues, she watched them being poured into the swill barrel with her own eyes, yet they were picked out one by one.

Hui Niang knew she was finished, but she absolutely could not go to see the officials.

Not to mention it would bring shame to her family, once she goes, she’s likely to be stripped and beaten. How could she live on with dignity?

Thinking about herself naked from the waist down, lying on the public hall while the crowd pointed fingers at her, Hui Niang’s mental defenses crumbled instantly. After all, she was still just a girl under twenty.

She suddenly knelt down toward Liu Lang, "Husband, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have drugged Xiao Wan. I beg you, show mercy and don’t send me to see the officials."

Liu Lang simply sneered. He already disliked Hui Niang, now he outright hated her, completely unmoved by her plea.

Soon Zhu Er called her parents to the backyard.

Hui Niang watched several people enter through the flower-hued gate, a touch of despair rising in her eyes. She forcefully kowtowed on the ground, "Husband, a day’s marriage grants a hundred days of grace. Although I made a grave mistake, since marrying into the Jiang Family, I have been filial to parents and considerate to my husband. I beg you to spare me and not send me to see the officials."

Liu Lang seemed not to hear Hui Niang’s words, coldly faced Zhu Er’s parents and gestured, "Go, tie her up."

Hui Niang, tears streaming down her face, kowtowed harder, "Husband, I beg you, even if you divorce me, just don’t send me to see the officials."

Zhu Er’s parents hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Lang, seeing he completely ignored Hui Niang, had no choice but to brace themselves and approach Hui Niang.

Shunzi stood next to Hui Niang, whispered, "Madam, comply a bit, it will spare you the hardship." His intentions were good, fearing that Hui Niang might struggle and hurt herself when bound.

Finally, Shunzi’s parents came over, Hui Niang’s panic magnified infinitely. Once tied up, many things would be beyond her control.

Swiftly, she scrambled up from the ground and dashed toward the pillar under the east wing corridor with lightning speed.

She used all her strength in this move.

By the time everyone reacted, it was already too late.

The enormous recoil force made Hui Niang fall back on the ground.

Zhu Er was startled and screamed.

Zhu Er’s mother also shrieked and quickly stepped back a few paces.

Mrs. Chen heard the noise from inside the room, saw Hui Niang lying not far away, blood continuously gushing from her scalp.

Her legs weakened, quickly supported herself against the door frame, just preventing a fall.

Liu Lang didn’t expect Hui Niang to suddenly seek death, momentarily too stunned to react, stared dumbfounded.

Yun Jiao was also stunned for a moment, quickly called out to Yang Ying, "There’s White Medicine in my medical kit, hurry, bring it here." She came today precisely to stop Xiao Wan’s bleeding, hence she brought several bottles of White Medicine.

Yang Ying went to Xiao Wan’s room to fetch the White Medicine.

Mrs. Chen was still clinging to the door frame, gasping.

Yang Ying came out of the room and saw Yun Jiao squatting on the ground looking at Hui Niang.

Blood was still gushing from Hui Niang’s head, Yun Jiao carefully observed Hui Niang’s condition, took the White Medicine from Yang Ying’s hand, sprinkled it on her, and also stuffed a White Medicine pill into Hui Niang’s mouth.

Hui Niang’s head was certainly injured.

However, this might not be fatal.

Because Hui Niang’s skull wasn’t shattered, meaning the brain tissue inside wasn’t too severely damaged, the specific severity depends on her subsequent condition.
