"Hmph! After leaving the Wen Family courtyard, Yang Bingshan threw down some harsh words just like the previous days and walked away. As for the reluctance in his heart? It was merely hatred towards Wen Suling.
When had he ever had his dignity trampled underfoot?
Since being released from confinement, Liang Mei'er's courtyard had returned to its former liveliness, with many coming to curry favor openly and secretly. However, for some reason, there was always an indescribable darkness about her.
Before Yang Bingshan could even call out "Mei," he was startled by a voice from within.
"Why has my sister come to see me? Is it to witness my disgrace? I'm sorry, but the master is treating me very well now." With that, she delicately flicked her slender fingers adorned with orchid-like grace through her hair.
"Oh dear, the master kept me up all night yesterday; my back and waist are sore." Yet there was no hint of humility in her words. At that moment, as she lowered her head, she intentionally revealed her fair neck adorned with strawberries.
She thought that Wen Family would be heartbroken upon seeing this, but from the expression on the woman's face across from her, she could not detect a trace of emotional fluctuation.
Is this a joke? How could Wen Family still react like they did over a decade ago, unable to contain themselves at Liang Mei'er's boasting? She had long since lost love for Yang Bingshan, so there would be no hatred.
"Then I’ll trouble my sister. I’ll have the kitchen prepare some Bird's Nest Porridge for you later to help you recover." Wen Family smiled at Liang Mei'er, truly unsure what kind of heart this woman possessed to put on such an act.
Did she really think that Yang Bingshan hadn't come to see Liang Mei'er for several nights? Did she believe those strawberries were grown by herself?
Hehe, thinking about how Yang Butler sneaked out from Liang Mei'er's courtyard—just a man and a woman alone together—did anything happen? Who would believe that? Who would believe that? Who would believe that? Important things said three times.
A slight smirk appeared at the corner of Liang Mei'er's mouth. With food being so actively offered by Wen Family, wouldn’t it be a waste not to take full advantage of it?
Thinking of this brought her back to Fourteen Years Ago, the same scene where the master truly gave her an opportunity. Wen Family, you are doomed this time.
The fleeting glimpse of malice in Liang Mei'er's eyes did not escape Wen Family's notice. Hehe, it seems she can no longer hold back."
How familiar this scene is, just like a certain morning fourteen years ago.
At that time, she was already seven months pregnant, but shortly after entering the household, Liang Mei'er, who was carried in, was also pregnant. As the head matriarch, it was only right for her to come and take a look.
But the nightmare began there. In the lunchbox she sent over, a large amount of safflower was inexplicably found, which could cause a miscarriage in pregnant women.
Liang Mei'er seized the opportunity and threw herself at Yang Bingshan, saying in her heart, "My lord, I am so sad. Sister, how cruel you are! You have a child; can you not tolerate me?"
Wen Family was at a flower-like age, and Yang Bingshan's handsome face attracted the attention of many young girls. Wen Family had all their hearts set on him.
She hurriedly stepped forward, tears welling up as she approached: "My lord, I didn’t do it; this is not my doing."
Yang Bingshan had already made up his mind: "Wen Family, I never expected you to be such a cruel person. Under the pretense of visiting Liang Mei'er, you actually aimed at her unborn child. How malicious your heart is."
"My lord, I didn’t!"
"Someone, drag the lady out. She is not allowed to leave the house for three months; take care of yourself." He wrapped his arm around Liang Mei'er's waist and swept away.
Only Wen Family remained standing there in a daze until several strong maids pulled her back and locked the courtyard gate.
"Madam, the lord wants you to reflect well. You can go out whenever you figure things out."
How innocent Wen Family was back then; facing such an environment, she never thought of going back to her family to complain.
Thus, while Yang Bingshan and Liang Mei'er were enjoying flowers and wine outside, only Wen Family remained in the main courtyard.
What is the most terrifying thing? Suddenly, a member of the Wen Family, after eating takeout, was struck by unbearable abdominal pain, breaking out in cold sweat, with waves of tightening pain in the stomach.
"Someone! Quickly, someone! Please call a doctor!" At that moment, Nanny Wen was the oldest person in the household.
She desperately knocked on the door, pleading for someone outside to hurry and fetch a doctor: "The lady is about to give birth!"
The guard outside thought they were making a fuss on purpose and didn't even spare them a glance.
In just that brief moment, the nails of the Wen Family member began to turn black. Nanny Wen was in a state of panic, but the doctor still had not arrived, and the Wen Family's life hung by a thread.
"I'll do it!" Nanny Wen rolled up her sleeves and instructed two maids to quickly boil water at the long-unused stove.
For an entire afternoon, the Wen Family faced exhaustion time and again, but with everyone's encouragement, they managed to rally each time.
Finally, as the sun set, a wailing cry resembling that of a cat echoed from within the room.
Outside, Liang Mei'er maliciously cursed the Wen Family, hoping for a double tragedy.
Afterwards, it became clear that there had been an issue with the food consumed by the Wen Family. The color of their nails indicated a problem; inside the Wen Family's belly, Yang Yichen truly looked like he wouldn't survive.
With a cat-like body and weak cries, he could only blink his mouth but couldn't get any milk into his mouth.
He had been born for some time now, yet as a father, Yang Bingshan was still unaware of his son's arrival, even though this was his firstborn son.
When Nanny Wen sent someone to find him again, Yang Bingshan was quite impatient: "What's there to see? It's just giving birth; is it really necessary?"
Then, Nanny Wen personally stepped in: "Master, my sister's food was poisoned. I implore you to punish the culprit."
"Hah! What poison? It's good enough that she didn't poison anyone else. Fortunately, Auntie Concubine was lucky; otherwise, it could have been a double tragedy." Yang Bingshan didn't even think twice; the Wen Family held no weight in his eyes.
Lying in the Main Courtyard, she stared blankly at the distant Wen Family, like a condemned soul awaiting judgment.
She never imagined that Yang Bingshan would not even investigate and would directly side with Liang Mei'er.
Hah, it was precisely because she had sent food earlier that Liang Mei'er had poisoned the meal, pretending to be delicate and fearful, leaving a first impression on Yang Bingshan.
Thus, no matter what the Wen Family did, Yang Bingshan did not believe them; he thought this was all an act put on by the Wen Family to deliberately gain his attention.
The Wen Family still remembered Yang Bingshan's words as he stood by her sickbed: "From now on, be honest and don't provoke Liang Mei'er again."
"Hah!" At that time, all Wen Family could do was sneer. That was her husband, the man who should have protected his wife and children, blinded by lies and instead trampling them underfoot.
So she spent over a decade in a daze.
Sitting face to face with Liang Mei'er again, calmly chatting, was truly rare.
The scene before her was so familiar, just like many years ago when two women sat across from each other, each lost in their own thoughts.
