Yuan Tangzhong's body was not under his control, but his mind was still clear. The hint of panic in the depths of his pupils told the outside world that he was still alive.
He heard Wen Ya's words clearly. A chill ran down his spine, causing his entire body to tremble.
"Don't be agitated. I haven't finished my story yet. You'll regret it if you die like this."
Wen Ya saw the fear in Yuan Tangzhong's eyes. The corners of her lips turned down and a smile appeared on her face.
"No one noticed Zhao Ruoxin's abnormality. They always thought that she was Shu Qinger because everyone thought that Qinger had gone insane due to Yuan Xuan's marriage. There were many things that were abnormal, so no one paid attention to it. To be honest, I didn't care either.
"However, Zhao Ruoxin and I had a conflict when she found out that I was your daughter-in-law. The day before Yuan Xuan's wedding, she called me to the apartment and argued with me. I don't know how she found out about the beastly things you had done to me. She was so naive and ridiculous that she thought I was getting close to her to compete for her favor …
"She even shouted that she wanted to ruin my reputation. She said that she wanted the world to know that we were having an affair …"
Wen Ya suppressed the urge to vomit when she said this.
Wen Ya had never seen such a brainless woman. She felt ridiculous when she thought of Zhao Ruoxin. She had a father complex, so she thought that everyone else would like a perverted old man like her.
"I pushed her down while we were fighting. Blood flowed down her legs. I saw it and remembered how I looked when I had a miscarriage!"
Wen Ya's face was pale. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she recalled that scene. It was as if she had entered a nightmare.
"I wanted to save her, but if I saved her, I was worried that she would bite back at me. So, I ran away!"
Wen Ya inhaled deeply as she said this. She lifted her head to look at Yuan Tangzhong with deep hatred in her eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who killed that woman, aren't you?"
The man on the hospital bed trembled uncontrollably when Wen Ya said this. It was as if the most obscure secret in his heart had been exposed.
Yuan Tangzhong's reaction confirmed Wen Ya's guess. The woman laughed coldly. "I think that stupid woman, Zhao Ruoxin, must have threatened your position as the leader. Am I right?"
Yuan Tangzhong's gaze was vicious. If he could, Wen Ya believed that he would jump up and tell her that anyone who stood in his way would die!
"When you arrived at the apartment and saw that Zhao Ruoxin was showing signs of miscarriage, you wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of this woman."
Although there was no verbal exchange when Yuan Tangzhong confronted her, Wen Ya's guess was verified bit by bit through his gaze.
"That's why a devil like you deserves to die ten thousand times!" Wen Ya said coldly.
Who would of the heavens spare? Heaven would not.
Wen Ya stayed in the hospital for a few days and no one from the Wen family came.
To be exact, they did not dare to show their faces in front of Wen Ya.
Mu Chenyan brought the chicken soup that Ah Fu had cooked to the hospital to visit 温雅.
温雅's forehead was covered with gauze, and her thin body leaned against the railing in front of the window. She stared blankly into the distance.
Mu Mu., Mu opened the door. of Mu of Tangof Chen, Mu. "Mu of the door.
"Mu," Mu, Mu of the of the of the of the of the of the World. Mu 'in't the said the. "Tang."
Wen Ya pulled out a chair and handed it to Mu Chenyan.
The food that Mu Chenyan brought was quickly placed on the small dining table.
Wen Ya had not eaten much since the banquet. To be exact, she could not eat. However, the food that Mu Chenyan brought gave her a little appetite.
"Chenyan, I'm begging you." After the meal, Wen Ya said plainly. Mu Chenyan leaned forward and said, "If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll definitely help you."
Mu Chenyan did not know why she was so loyal. Perhaps, she saw a helpless version of herself in Wen Ya.
The Mu Family was no better than the Wen Family. The Mu Family abandoned her when she was in prison for two years. However, she had a broad mind. Ever since she was released from prison, she had never blamed her brother or father.
They were her family!
"I still have some things in Peace Mansion. Can you help me get them? It's not convenient for me to go back now. Xue Meiwei won't let me go if she sees me … "
Wen Ya said with a troubled expression.
"Alright. Tell me what it is. I'll go back and get them for you."
Little Cui, the maid in Peace Mansion, was still there. She knew everything in the house. Wen Ya nodded and said, "I'll give you a list later. You can just follow the list. I won't touch anything in the Yuan Family. These are my personal belongings. Don't worry."
Mu Chenyan watched Wen Ya write down the things she needed on the paper. They were basically diaries, mementos, and certificates.
Mu Chenyan carefully kept the list. She recalled how she used to advise her to think about the future. Now, she was stubbornly leaving the Yuan Family without asking for a single cent.
Mu Chenyan looked at Wen Ya and asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"
"I told him that I want to marry Zheng Shuyan. Of course, I haven't told him yet. I'm afraid that he'll despise me …"
Wen Ya lowered her head as she spoke. "I have nothing now. I have no face, no dignity …"
Mu Chenyan grabbed Wen Ya's hand and stopped her from murmuring. "This isn't your fault. If it's possible, I'll take you to see Zheng Shuyan!"
Mu Chenyan returned to the mansion. She did not return to Hibiscus Garden immediately. Instead, she went to Peace Mansion.
She knew that Xue Meiwei would be staying in the hospital to take care of Yuan Tangzhong. There was no one else in the house except for the maid. It was the most convenient time to retrieve Wen Ya's belongings.
Mu Chenyan walked around the little garden. She saw the desolate courtyard of Peace Mansion through the fence under the porch.
She remembered that this place used to be a symbol of status and power in Luo Hai. Now that it had fallen, it could not escape its desolation.
Little Cui did not know why Mu Chenyan had come to Peace Mansion. She hurriedly came out to greet her. "Third Young Mistress, what's the matter?"
Mu Chenyan conveyed Wen Ya's message. Little Cui quickly went upstairs with the list. She did not forget to pour a cup of tea for Mu Chenyan before she left. She said, "Third Young Mistress, please wait here. I'll go get it for Eldest Young Mistress."
Mu Chenyan nodded. She sat on the bench under the porch and waited.
The flowers and plants planted in the little garden in the courtyard were evergreen trees. Moreover, Luo Hai had a humid tropical climate. Although it was autumn, the trees still looked lush and green.
The only flaw in this exquisite little garden was that the leaves of the tall banana tree had withered.
Mu Chenyan remembered this banana tree.
When she and Yuan Tian were young, they liked to come here and steal the leaves of the banana tree to use as fans. Yuan Tian liked to hold the leaves and pretend to be Princess Iron Fan. She even insisted that Mu Chenyan pretend to be Bull Demon King or Red Boy.
This banana tree had been here for many years. It had always been well taken care of. She did not expect it to become like this now.
Mu Chenyan stood up and stroked the withered leaves of the banana tree. She felt a little regretful. At this moment, Little Cui walked out. When he saw Mu Chenyan leaning on the tree, he could not help but sigh. "It's said that humans aren't plants. How can they be emotionless? In my opinion, plants have feelings too. "
Mu Chenyan took the package that Little Cui handed over. It contained the things that Wen Ya needed.
"Ever since something happened to Young Master and Young Mistress didn't come back, this tree fell sick. In the beginning, I took good care of it because I was afraid that it would die. Young Mistress pampered this tree, but I didn't expect it to fail in the end."
Little Cui sighed as he spoke. When Mu Chenyan heard this, she turned to look at the tree and asked softly, "Are you saying that this tree had a problem a while ago?"
Little Cui nodded. "Yana usually takes care of the little garden. Now that she's absconded and the other servants in the house have been fired, I'm taking care of it on her behalf.
This tree was fine a while ago, but it began to wilt after Young Master's accident. Since I haven't seen Young Mistress, I didn't dare to take the initiative to uproot this tree. Thus, I left the withered leaves here. "
Mu Chenyan suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart that she could not explain. She turned to look at her surroundings and asked, "Were there some flowers and plants here before?"
Little Cui looked around and pointed around the banana tree. "There used to be some here, but I don't know what happened. They've all wilted and died, so I pulled them out and threw them away. I've just added some soil here."
When Mu Chenyan heard this, her heart jumped to her throat. She turned to Little Cui and instructed, "Please get me some soil from under the banana tree and put it in a bag."
Mu Chenyan took the bag of soil to Su Qingcheng and asked her to get someone from the forensic department to test the content of the soil.
Su Qingcheng knew that something had happened to the Yuan Family. She could not help but feel a little strange when Mu Chenyan brought a bag of soil over at this time.
"There's evidence from other cases that need to be tested. Where did you get this soil from? What's the use of it? I can tell them. "
Su Qingcheng saw Mu Chenyan shaking her head as she spoke. "Qingcheng, I can't say. I'm just guessing. Just get your colleagues from the forensic department to do it when they're free. Don't interfere with their work. "
Su Qingcheng could only give up when she saw that Mu Chenyan would not tell the truth.
Yuan Xuan had been very busy with work recently. He could not help but feel anxious when he heard that Mu Chenyan had gone out for a day and had not returned yet.
He called Mu Chenyan and sent Yan Jun to pick her up.
Yuan Xuan had been very elusive lately. Even Mu Chenyan did not know what he was busy with.
Hibiscus Garden was quiet at night. Yuan Xuan did not return for dinner, and Mu Chenyan only ate a little.
Yuan Xuan did not confiscate the cat either. He heard from the "experts" that it was not good for pregnant women to come into contact with small animals as it was easy to be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Thus, the two innocent little things were temporarily entrusted to Yuan Tian at the Tranquil Mansion.
Mu Chenyan still remembered the sad eyes of the two little things before they left.
Little Ginger Fur Ball meow, I'll miss my mother.
Briquet meow, we're so innocent. Damn bricklayer.
Without any entertainment, Mu Chenyan went to bed early.
She slept peacefully that night. However, she did not know that her brother, Mu Chenwu, was having a life-and-death battle with Yuan Xuan in the South China Sea.
