The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 429 Vicious
Although she had learned about this from Qionghua a long time ago, Cui Hengyue didn't quite believe it, because she believed that a tiger's poison would not eat its children.

However, at this moment, it was confirmed from Liu Yang's mouth that Cui Hengyue's mind went blank as if struck by lightning.

After a long while, Cui Hengyue recovered her voice: "Are you telling the truth?"

Seeing Cui Hengyue's state like this, Liu Yang thought that his affirmation was too direct and frightened her, so he truthfully explained what happened back then:

"That night coincidentally, the wives of the second, third, fourth, and fifth bedrooms all gave birth, but that night was an unfortunate night.

"The second wife gave birth to a child, but it was a stillborn baby. The third wife gave birth to a baby boy, but the third master accidentally fell to the ground, and it was gone.

"Fortunately, the third lady still has another one in her stomach, and that is you, Yuan Niang. Otherwise, the third lady will definitely be overwhelmed and commit suicide."

Even with her, it would be very painful for her son to be thrown to death when he was just born.

Cui Hengyue waved away the painful look of her mother in her mind, and continued to ask: "Why did my father fall? Did it rain that day?"

Liu Yang thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's not raining."

"Since it's not raining, why did you fall?"

"Perhaps. I left in a hurry. At that time, the third master was in a hurry to hold the child and show it to the Duke."

Cui Hengyue felt something was wrong: "Why did you rush to show it to your grandfather when you were just born?

"At that time, my grandfather already had a grandson under his knees. Even if he liked his grandson, he didn't have to show him as soon as he was born. Wouldn't it be the same the next day?"

Liu Yang pondered for a while: "Maybe the old lady wants to see the third master's son in a hurry. You should know that the son that the old lady loves the most is the third master."

If it was the old lady, she would do such a thing.

Cui Hengyue was silent for a moment, then asked again: "I heard that the second aunt was always in good health when she was young, why did she give birth to a dead baby?"

"This..." Liu Yang was in trouble: "I don't know about this, maybe it hurt my body during pregnancy."

"Nothing out of the ordinary?"

"Uh..." Liu Yang thought about it seriously: "No."

Cui Hengyue gave up on the second room, and asked the fourth room again: "Then how did the fourth master's daughter die? I want to hear the truth."

the truth?

Doesn't she know the truth?

Liu Yang couldn't understand what she meant, so he replied truthfully: "It is said that the fourth wife went for a walk by the lake with her arms, and if she accidentally fell into the water, the child would... be gone.

"When the Duke found out, he became furious and beat everyone around the Fourth Madam to death."

Grandpa furious?
Cui Hengyue looked at Liu Yang with a hint of doubt: "Is my grandfather nice to fourth uncle?"

"Actually, Fourth Master has been very smart since he was a child, and he has also achieved fame. If it weren't for his bad background, Fourth Master should be more respected by the Duke than Uncle." Liu Yang said.

It turned out to be the case.

"Then why is the fourth uncle under house arrest, and the fourth bedroom is not allowed to come out?"

"This is the Queen Mother's order, and I don't know why."

"Then every year the queen mother sends people to the fourth room to punish the fourth uncle and fourth aunt, and you don't know the reason?"

Liu Yang was surprised, she actually knew the Queen Mother's purpose?
When did she know?

At this moment, Liu Yang was in awe of Cui Hengyue in his heart, she knew such a secret thing, what else did she not know?
Perhaps these questions she asked were testing him.

Thinking of this, the trace of luck in Liu Yang's heart disappeared instantly, and he began to ponder Cui Hengyue's real purpose.

Seeing that Liu Yang didn't speak, Cui Hengyue's face darkened: "Although I am kind, I will not hurt innocent people, but if you lie to me, I will send Xiao's mother and son back to the mansion tomorrow, and hand them over to my grandfather."

"No, I said, I said." Liu Yang was anxious, and said truthfully: "It's because the Queen Mother likes Yuan very much."

Thinking that Yuan Niang was right in front of her eyes, Liu Yang changed her words: "I like Fourth Master's daughter very much, at that time the Empress Dowager gave things to the children in the mansion, and the one who rewarded the most was Fourth Master's daughter.

"The Empress Dowager once said in public that she would betroth the fourth master's daughter to His Majesty, to be the empress of a country.

"Later, I learned that the fourth master and the fourth wife did not take good care of the children. In a fit of anger, he asked the Duke of the State to put them under house arrest, and every year on the anniversary of the child's death, he would send people to the fourth room to punish the fourth master and the fourth wife."

At this time, Shui Rong's voice came from outside the door: "Yuanniang, the Duke sent someone to look for Deputy Commander Liu."

Cui Hengyue was startled, and said to Liu Yang: "Go back and behave well, don't show off, I will find you again."

"Yes."

After Liu Yang left, Cui Hengyue sat on a chair and meditated.

Shui Rong stood aside, and when she saw Shui Fu coming in, she motioned her to keep quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Cui Hengyue's voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Don't you find it strange?"

Shui Fu was confused when she heard this: "Yuanniang, what's so strange?"

Cui Hengyue came back to her senses and realized that they didn't know the inside story.

She thought for a while and said slowly: "On the day I was born, all the wives in the house except the eldest aunt gave birth.

"No, Aunt Fifth's child was born the next day, but this is also problematic.

"At that time, except for my mother who gave birth at full term, the other three were born prematurely. Don't you think it's a coincidence that the four wives gave birth together?"

Shui Rong understood: "You mean it's not a coincidence, it's human control?"

"How to control the childbirth?" Shui Fu said, her eyes suddenly widened: "Unless the other three wives see your mother giving birth, they drink oxytocin and give birth together."

Cui Hengyue was a little speechless: "Early and late babies are all in the belly, why do you have to give birth together?"

Shui Fu thought for a while: "It must be some kind of reward from the Duke and the old lady that they are so impatient?"

"What reward is worth gambling with your body?"

Shui Rong's question made Shui Fu speechless.

That's right, childbirth is inherently dangerous for a woman, and premature birth is even more dangerous. Besides, she has never heard of any unusual rewards given to the wives after giving birth.

It's nothing more than rewarding money, clothes, fields, and shops, but it's no big deal.

Shui Fu thought for a long time, a little frustrated: "I really can't think of it, maybe the women in the back house are just competitive."

Cui Hengyue was a little speechless: "Forget it, you guys go back, you don't need to be on duty tonight."

That night, Cui Hengyue thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out why.

On the second day, Cui Hengyue told Shui Fu: "Go and find out who took care of the pregnant wives back then, and who gave them the medicine on the day my mother gave birth."

"Yes."

Shuifu took the order and left.

Cui Hengyue ordered Shui Rong again: "Go and investigate, who was there to serve my father when I was born."

After Shui Fu and Shui Rong left, seeing no one was waiting in the room, Ju Hong came in with cakes.

"Yuan Niang, your injury is still not healed, you still need to take care of it on the bed."

Cui Hengyue took a piece of pastry from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth. After eating a few pieces, she said, "Ju Hong, did the old lady ask you for a question recently?"

Ju Hong suddenly became nervous: "Yuanniang, I didn't betray you, I didn't say anything."

"I know."

Seeing that Cui Hengyue didn't seem to be angry, Ju Hong replied: "Yesterday, the old lady called me to ask me, she asked me what Yuan Niang does every day.

"I said that Yuanniang was recuperating and getting out of bed occasionally to read a book. I didn't say anything else."

Cui Hengyue showed a smiling face: "Of course I believe in you."

She beckoned: "Come here, I have something for you to do."

Ju Hong walked over and bent down to listen.

"You help me spread a message out."
