The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 136 Tire slide

Humiliate her as much as you want, she won't be laughing anymore in a moment.

Lu Lingyue placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and her wounds began to ache when Xiao Ran touched her.

After suffering losses several times, Xiao Ran made sure Zhou Yurong couldn't see the injuries on her body when she tormented her, but she herself was in great pain and couldn't sleep at night.

She had endured for so long; she wouldn't have taken such a risky move if she hadn't been unable to bear it any longer.

Lüqi dared not advise Xiao Ran, who was in a fit of rage and would beat or scold anyone who came.

"You'd better behave and stop using those underhanded tricks of yours that embarrass the people of the Guangning Marquis's Mansion. Get up."

Xiao Ran released her hand, telling her to get up and stop kneeling.

Lu Lingyue obediently got up, knowing that Xiao Ran also cared about her reputation in public.

"I know I was wrong. I will offer you tea, sister."

Lu Lingyue's maid placed tea in Lu Lingyue's palm. Lü Qi kept watching, urging Lu Lingyue and Xiao Ran to keep some distance, as this would be a safer approach.

Seeing that she had indeed become more obedient, Xiao Ran didn't continue to make things difficult for her. She watched as Lu Lingyue served tea.

Lu Lingyue was not worthy to have a lowly maidservant of such low status pour her tea.

"Get out of here. I didn't drink the tea you gave me as a concubine in the first place, and I won't drink the tea you give me now either."

Xiao Ran crossed her arms, allowing Lü Qi to stop her.

Lu Lingyue held the teacup and slowly walked forward. Lü Qi frowned and said, "What are you doing? The county princess doesn't want to argue with you. Get lost."

Lu Lingyue has been restless ever since she entered the manor, and now that she's pregnant, she's even more so.

If anything happens to the child with the county magistrate, the situation for the county magistrate and Zhou Yurong will only get worse, and the county magistrate will definitely be the one to be reprimanded.

Lu Lingyue's eyes flashed; this Lü Qi was indeed loyal.

She tilted her head slightly while holding the tea, and thought that Lü Qi's loyalty was just right.

The tea spilled all over the ground, and Lü Qi felt a significant increase in weight on her body. Lu Lingyue collapsed on top of her, and Xiao Ran stood up in surprise.

A shard of porcelain pierced Lu Lingyue's palm, but she endured the pain and secretly revealed a smile.

Lü Qi followed Xiao Ran and committed many evils, but she could not get close to Xiao Ran, and the effect of Lü Qi was the same.

Lu Lingyue let out a cry of surprise and fell onto the broken porcelain shards.

Many people looked over and noticed Xiao Ran's situation.

"Something happened over there."

Ji Yuxiu saw it at first glance; the scene was chaotic. Yang Yueying got up and called for the female doctor.

Lu Lingyue lay there covered in blood, her skirt and waist stained with blood.

Zhou Yurong also rushed over and picked up Lu Lingyue.

"Yue'er!"

Zhou Yurong's hands were covered in blood. Lu Lingyue coughed and opened her eyes to look at Zhou Yurong.

"It's alright, Zhou Lang, it's alright, it was my carelessness..."

Zhou Yurong turned to look at Xiao Ran and Lü Qi. Lü Qi's face was pale. The situation just now must have been deliberately orchestrated by Lu Lingyue.

The female doctor arrived quickly, and together they carried Lu Lingyue inside.

Many people are talking about what happened here, and they naturally assume that Xiao Ran was responsible.

Watching Lu Lingyue being taken inside for treatment, Zhou Yurong gave Xiao Ran a cold look and said, "I'll settle accounts with you after Yue'er is alright."

As he spoke, he went inside.

Xiao Ran and Lü Qi were left outside the door, and Xiao Ran clenched her fists.

"Lüqi, did that wretched maid deliberately fall on you?"

Lü Qi nodded, "But so many people only saw her fall on me, they will definitely think that it was the county princess's doing. Don't worry, county princess, I will take responsibility for anything."

Xiao Ran bit her lip. It was probably useless for Lü Qi to take the blame, but what could Zhou Yurong do to her? She would only be scolded a few times, nothing more.

Shen Hanyu and Wei Ming also hurried over. Wei Ming glanced at them and said, "I'll go in first and ask Mother. You all wait outside for a bit."

Shen Hanyu nodded. It seemed that Lu Lingyue had succeeded. Judging from Xiao Ran's expression, she was indeed not afraid.

However, Lu Lingyue was not pregnant in the first place; this was just an act.

Ji Yuxiu stroked her chin: "Princess Xiao isn't a stupid person, so why would she suddenly make trouble in front of so many people? Something's strange about this."

Shen Hanyu sat beside Ji Yuxiu and nodded in agreement with what Ji Yuxiu said.

She whispered to Ji Yuxiu, "I've seen Lu Lingyue go to the clinic to buy drugs to fake a pregnancy. This whole thing is probably just an act to frame her. We'll find out soon enough."

Ji Yuxiu raised an eyebrow, surprised that such a thing could happen.

There are many strange and unusual medicines in the world, so it's not surprising that something like this exists.

"That's going to be quite a show," Ji Yuxiu said, starting to get curious.

This is probably the first time that Princess Xiao has suffered such a great loss; it's just unknown how she will be punished.

After Wei Ming went inside, she quickly asked Yang Yueying, "Mother, how is the situation inside?"

Yang Yueying sighed: "This is ridiculous. She suffered a massive hemorrhage, but her life can be saved. However, her abdomen was injured, and the baby is in danger. I don't know if it can be saved."

Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, realizing that Shen Hanyu had indeed guessed correctly.

Yang Yueying pushed Wei Ming out, saying, "Don't worry about this. I'll handle it. Go find Hanyu and the others."

Wei Ming couldn't do anything about it, so she could only go out and stay with Shen Hanyu and the others.

More and more people gathered outside, all wanting to see what was happening.

Yang Yueying came out and apologized to everyone.

"I apologize, something happened at the polo field. I will prepare a gift for everyone. It was my fault that the polo match today did not allow everyone to have a good time."

Since Yang Yueying had said so, they naturally had no complaints.

After offering their apologies, those people left.

Only Zhou Yurong's family and Shen Hanyu remained here.

The doctor came out, his face apologetic: "The baby in her womb couldn't be saved."

Zhou Yurong's pupils dilated as he ran into the house, only to see Lu Lingyue's pale face.

Lu Lingyue looked at him, extended her hand, and Zhou Yurong grasped it.

"Yue'er."

With tears in her eyes, Lu Lingyue said, "Zhou Lang, I'm sorry, I failed to protect our child."

Zhou Yurong was also very upset.

"Don't blame yourself. It's my fault for not protecting you. I know Xiao Ran's personality. I should have thought of it earlier. I shouldn't have left you there alone to face her. Don't worry, this time I will definitely get justice for you. We will still have children."

Lu Lingyue smiled. Zhou Yurong told her to rest well and then went out to find Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran already knew he was coming, and Yang Yueying was watching from the side, hoping things wouldn't get too ugly.

"This is a matter for your Guangning Marquisate, so I won't say anything."

Zhou Yurong nodded, while Xiao Ran forced herself to remain calm.

Lüqi stepped forward: "At that time, Aunt Lu was walking unsteadily and fell to the ground."

Zhou Yurong narrowed her eyes: "Do you think I would believe that?"

Xiao Ran stood up.

“Zhou Yurong, when have I ever lied? Lu Lingyue collapsed on her own, I didn’t even touch her!”

She rarely spoke the truth, but Zhou Yurong didn't believe her.
