Chapter 47: Give a signed divorce paper to Xia Xue's crystal shoes again

  When Mr. and Mrs. Gu arrived in a hurry, they only heard Shen Guiya's crying voice inside the house.

  "What's going on?" Mrs. Gu angrily asked.

  Shen Guiyan bowed her head and remained silent, but Yu Chai, who had not appeared until now, knelt down: "Please, madam, do justice for my young mistress! Today, I was unwell and didn't attend to my mistress, but I never expected that although my mistress has always treated Fourth Young Master's wife well, she would repay kindness with enmity and intentionally push my mistress down, wanting to harm her child!"

  "You're not even by my side serving me, how did you know so clearly?" Xu Mengdie lightly laughed: "You've been thinking of saying this all along, haven't you?"

  Yu Shu was taken aback, her eyes darting back and forth: "The slave... the slave also heard it from Hong Xian. Hong Xian happened to be passing by at that time and saw the whole process. Otherwise, there were only Fourth Young Master's wife and Bao Shan in that place, wouldn't they just say whatever they wanted?"

  Gu Chao Dong furrowed his brow: "That red thread is someone from our own courtyard, did she see it?"

  "Yes." Yu Shu said with her head lowered.

  Gu Zhaodong wanted to say more, but was stopped by Mrs. Gu who raised her hand: "The most urgent task is to keep the child safe, what's the use of saying other things!"

  Everyone fell silent, looking towards the door of the house. A maid ran out and bowed to Gu Xiangdong: "Young Master, Young Madam is not doing well, she keeps calling for you to go in."

  Is it over?

  Everyone was shocked, and Gu Zhaodong also slightly furrowed his brow.

  Although he disliked Shen Guiya's behavior today, after all, she was his wife. If it really didn't work out, he would also feel some sorrow.

  He followed in, the door was closed, Gu Zhaodong took a glance at the room, the doctor sat on one side with a complex expression, Shen Guiya lay on the bed humming, looking very painful, but not as severe as he had imagined.

  "The old man went out first to prepare the medicine." The doctor looked at Zhaodong coming in, hurriedly got up, took the paper and pen and went out.

  Gu Zhaodong felt a bit strange, looked up at Shen Guiya, and sat down beside her bed with a serious face. The maids also retreated, and this place, except for the medicine box placed there, didn't look like anyone needed to be rescued at all.

  "My child." Shen Guiya clutched her belly tightly, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Gu Zhaodong: "Husband, our child was harmed by Guiyan, you must avenge me!"

  Gu Chao Dong furrowed his brow. He had never seen a woman have a miscarriage before, but seeing the bloodstains on her bed and how much pain she was in, he assumed that's what it was.

  The maid who just spoke also said that the child's disappearance is related to Yan'er, and Gu Zhaodong is worried. The child is already gone and cannot be retrieved, but what if the mother blames Yan'er for this?

  "Swallow is your own sister, how could she want to harm your child?" Gu Zhaodong said: "Ya'er you may have misunderstood."

  "What misunderstanding!" Shen Guiya said angrily: "I won't let her go, this child is gone, I want her to pay for it!"

  "Yah!" Gu Zhaodong looked at her with difficulty: "Why must you do this? The child is gone, just let it go, why drag your own sister down?"

  Shen Guiya took a deep breath, looking at the man in front of her, and her heart was filled with hatred: "My child is gone, but you're not worried about that. Instead, you're worried that she might be dragged down by me? Gu Zhaodong, I am your rightful wife!"

  "Gu Zhaodong turned his face away: 'If it weren't for this child, how would I have married you? Originally, I and Yanner should be a match made in heaven, but now all the good things have been taken by my fourth brother, and it's all because of this child's fault.'"

  Shen Guiya was so angry she could die, this man is seriously sick, he wants his own offspring, but blames the child for blocking him from being with Shen Guiyan? If it weren't for her current dependence on him, Shen Guiya really wanted to stab him to death.

  She can't afford to get angry, she still has things to do. Taking a deep breath, Shen Guiya calmed down a lot and looked at him with tearful eyes: "Alright, I'll go talk to the mistress later. This child blocked your hundred-year union with Third Sister, and being killed is also a death that's well-deserved!"

  "Stop!" Gu Zhaodong turned around: "You can't harm Yan'er."

  "What am I supposed to do?" Shen Guiya glared at him with wide eyes: "You're going to divorce me, and without this child, won't I become a discarded wife? She killed my child, and I'm still supposed to be a discarded wife and not take revenge on her? I'm not the Virgin Mary!"

  Gu Chao Dong fell silent for a moment, looking at her and saying: "What can you do to let go of Yan Er?"

  It's really ridiculous, he was the one who owed others at first, and now he's also the one who comes to pretend to be a romantic. Shen Guiya sneered and covered her stomach, saying: "You just have to agree with me, write a divorce agreement, sign it, and give it to me. I can divorce you whenever I want, but you can't divorce me!"

  "Divorce agreement?" Gu Zhaodong looked bewildered.

  Shen Guiya thought for a moment and changed her words: "It's just the divorce agreement, if you sign it but I don't, then only I can divorce you, you can't divorce me!"

  "Absurd." Gu Zhaodong was so angry that he stood up: "How can there be such a thing, it's really too ridiculous."

  Shen Guiya raised an eyebrow, covering her stomach and continued to cry out in pain: "My child... Ah, it hurts so much."

  Gu Zhaodong looked at her with a dark face.

  "If you don't allow it, I'll go to the lady and tell her how she pushed me, she won't be able to escape family punishment and will definitely be heavily penalized. If you permit it, I'll say it was my own carelessness, let the master handle it."

  Gu Zhaodong had never met a woman who would say such things. He was always aloof and rarely went to places of ill repute, so he couldn't even think of how to deal with Shen Guiya. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "I'd like to consider it for a day, can I?"

  "Alright." Shen Guiya said with a smile: "I'm sure I'll be unconscious for a whole day, Master has plenty of time."

  It's also a good opportunity to see what kind of ending Shen Guiyan will have with the suspicion of harming her own children.

  Gu Zhaodong was completely unaware of Shen Guiya's thoughts and didn't think so much, he just ordered the doctor to come and rescue quickly, then left.

  "How is it?" Mrs. Gu came out anxiously to greet her.

  "Don't worry about your life." Gu Chao Dong subconsciously glanced at Shen Guiyan: "It's just that the child didn't make it, might be in a coma for a day, and after waking up tomorrow, we'll talk again. My son is not feeling well, go rest first."

  Mrs. Gu sighed at the mention of his pain of losing a child, and let him go with just an "ah". Turning her head to meet Shen Guiyan's gaze, but it was no longer so friendly.

  "This child is the only one we have in our family now, and he's still the eldest son." Madam Gu said in a low voice: "Some people may not like Gui Ya, but they should also consider the rules."

  "Madam, I am truly innocent."

  "What else is innocent, what Hong Xian has seen with his own eyes?" Yu Shu angrily said: "Fourth Master's wife is afraid that she wants to harm my family's young lady and make her lose the child, so you can take advantage of the opportunity to seize the position of the eldest son of the Gu family!"

  "How can you add crime to me?" Shen Guiyan said: "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, and I have a clear conscience."

  "Stop arguing!" Mrs. Gu angrily said: "All of you go to the main hall, don't disturb Ya'er's peace again."

  Everyone fell silent, and Bao Shan grabbed Shen Guiyan's sleeve nervously: "Miss, what to do?"

  Last time, Xu Mengdie's child was gone without investigation, it was because Xu Mengdie herself did not want to investigate. But if it were really about the punishment for harming one's offspring, that would be quite severe, ranging from house arrest to being abandoned and never remarried. The ones in the belly are always more precious than those outside.

  "There's nothing we can do, just take it one step at a time." Shen Guiyan sighed and said: "If she insists on accusing us and there's no other evidence, then we'll just have to endure it."

  Baoyan's eyes widened: "It was clearly her own..."

  "Who would believe that?" Shen Guiyan sighed bitterly: "Such a precious belly, lost in order to frame me, everyone thinks it's a bad deal, how could Shen Guiya do such a thing."

  "That..." Bao Yan gritted her teeth: "The first push was done by me, a servant. At worst, I'll take the blame for this crime."

  "Can you afford it?" Shen Guiyan shook her head: "If I were to take responsibility for this matter, there would still be a way out. If it were you, they would drag you out and beat you to death, and I wouldn't be able to save you even if I wanted to. You must remember, don't be foolish and confess."

  Bao Shan was startled and hesitated, while Shen Guiyan's expression remained calm.

  When faced with an unavoidable difficulty, she thought of several possible outcomes in her heart. Either she would take the blame and use the family law to pardon her, after all, it was a life, which was considered light. Or Shen Guiya's conscience would be discovered and let her go, and she wouldn't have to bear anything.

  The possibility of the latter is too small, and Shen Guiyan no longer wants to consider it. The bad thing about this matter is that whether it's motive or evidence, they all point towards Shen Guiya, and her arguments are useless.

  She followed him all the way to the main hall, and as soon as Madame Gu sat down, she slapped the table loudly: "Auntie Guan!"

  Mr. Guan was startled and hastily stood up: "Madam?"

  "You're an old hand in the mansion, you know a lot about things. Tell me, what happened to that concubine who lost her child many years ago?"

  Guan Feng let out a sigh of relief, patted his chest and glanced at Shen Guiyan: "That concubine had both legs broken and was kicked out of the mansion."

  Shen Guiyan stood in front of him, and upon hearing this, he didn't panic or kneel down.

  "Did you hear?" Mrs. Gu looked up at Shen Guiyan.

  "Returning to Madame, I've heard." Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and said: "But Yan'er didn't do it, so there's no need to be afraid."

  Mrs. Gu frowned and looked at Shen Guiyan's upright appearance, slightly hesitant.

  Guan Yiniang, who was standing beside her, came up and whispered: "Since the Fourth Young Master's wife married over, two children in the house have died one after another. Doesn't the mistress find it strange?"

  This remark struck a sore spot for Mrs. Gu, whose face suddenly turned black. She raised her hand and swept a cup of hot tea to the ground in front of Shen Guiyan, splashing scalding water all over her.

  "Miss!" Bao Shan couldn't help but softly exclaim.

  "There were only four people present today. Yaer was unconscious, and Hongxian had no grudge against you, so she wouldn't harm you. Besides you, who else could it be?!"

  Shen Guiyan pursed her lips and finally knelt down: "Madam, I assure you that Yan'er will never harm anyone's life."
