Chapter 51 She's Not Dumb!
She knelt down under everyone's gaze, and respectfully kowtowed three times in the direction of Chu Wuhen.

"Slave and maidservant, I have met my little master!"

Or she hasn't spoken for a long time, her voice is hoarse and unpleasant, her speaking tone is also very strange, and her speech is slow, but people can still hear what she said.

Chu Wuhen was startled, and the others were also caught off guard by her reversal.

Xie Shuangge opened her eyes wide in shock, "Didn't you say she is dumb? I'm hallucinating?"

"You were pretending before?" Chu Wuhen was the first to come back to his senses, his brows furrowed.

Lingxi shook his head: "My maidservant was indeed dumb when I was a child. After Madam brought this maidservant back to the Hou's Mansion, she asked people to ask doctors from all over the world to look at it. An old doctor said that it might be helpful, so he prescribed medicine to try. Prescriptions are used to decoct medicines for slaves, and the wife’s small kitchen is on fire all day long. From time to time, someone who is not feeling well will cook a cup of medicine. Everyone is used to it, and no one will ask, so many people don’t know about the situation of slaves. .”

She uttered a series of words in one breath, her voice became hoarse even more, Xin Zhi couldn't take it anymore, got up and poured a bowl of water, "Take a few sips before we talk."

"Thank you." Lingxi smiled at him, not afraid of him anymore, took it and drank it slowly, "But in fact, the effect is very slow, after drinking for a year, the slave's voice has not improved, but I can make some sounds. , until the day when Madam found out that she was pregnant, the servant girl was happy, and suddenly she was able to talk, Madam was overjoyed, saying that this was a double happiness, and rewarded the servant girl with 50 taels of silver, and let the servant girl keep it quietly."

Xie Shuangge was taken aback when he heard that, "What else is there? It's really strange."

Did she pretend later?

"Later, my wife was going to her ancestral land to raise her baby. The old man and old lady were still there, and said they could take good care of her. At that time, the lady believed her, so she packed up her things and set off, leaving the slaves behind, saying that there must be no one here. The servant is young, and it was too tiring to follow along, so I didn't let the servant follow, and the servant escaped a catastrophe."

Speaking of this, Lingxi burst into tears like rain, Chu Wuhen couldn't see his happiness or anger wearing a mask, but the veins in his hands that were pressed on the armrests were swollen.

Lingxi took another sip of water as she spoke, with a distressed look on her face, "Later, the servant was sent by Lord Hou to serve Mrs. Liu, just because I thought the servant was dumb, and the servant did not dare to speak, so I kept pretending, until now."

Xie Shuangge silently gave her a thumbs up.

After drinking the water, she put down the bowl and walked forward on her knees and said to Chu Wuhen: "Little master, you must avenge your wife!"

Chu Wuhen said in a deep voice: "So, they really sent people to intercept and kill my mother? Who came up with the idea? Marquis Boyang, or the Liu family?"

His voice seemed to be the same as usual, but if you listen carefully, you can hear his trembling.

Xie Shuangge's heart tightened, and he was afraid to listen any longer.

But he also desperately wants to know who is behind the scenes.

Just as he was struggling, he heard Lingxi say bitterly: "It's Shen Hefeng, Marquis of Boyang!"

Everyone present gasped, it turned out to be him?

After all, it was a couple, how could he be so cruel as to kill his wife who was pregnant for nine months?That's one dead body and two lives!
Chu Wuhen's hand tightened, and the armrest turned into dust with a "bang", and he held onto the dust tightly, without moving for a long time.

Lingxi's eyes were cloudy with tears, he gritted his teeth and did not cry out.

Xie Shuangge seemed to be struck by lightning, and she closed her eyes after a while, a line of tears slid down her cheeks, she said softly: "He and Shen Hanyu are indeed father and son, cold-blooded in the same vein."

"Shen Hefeng took Mrs. Liu in not long after Mrs. Liu left. Mrs. Liu was pregnant at that time, and the time was almost the same as Mrs. He quietly hid her in his room and took care of her tenderly. Call the servants to give a warning, and let the servants take good care of Madam."

Lingxi gritted her teeth, her eyes were red, "Is that low-class woman worthy? The servants of the Boyang Hou Mansion only recognize one wife!"

Chu Wuhen let go of his hand slowly, and the pieces of wood fell down one after another. His Adam's apple rolled, and he asked hoarsely, "What happened next? How did he come up with that poisonous plan, and how did you know?"

Lingxi calmed down and said: "Ms. Liu's belly is getting bigger every day. The doctor said that it is very likely to be a boy. The Marquis of Boyang was very happy. He promised that when Liu's child is born in the future, the Marquis of Boyang's mansion will be his."

"Ms. Liu then asked him, what about Mrs. Du and the child? There is a legitimate son, so there is no way she, the concubine's son, can be the eldest son."

Xin Zhi sneered: "It counts as she has self-knowledge."

However, Xie Shuangge bit her finger, always feeling that this remark seemed to be a retreat-for-advancement, she had heard some concubines say this before.

Lingxi chuckled: "Then Boyanghou said that he had no feelings for his wife at all, and that he only married her to take advantage of the power of the Duke of Zhenguo to win the position of Boyanghou. He only liked Liu from the beginning to the end. , now that he is sitting firmly on the position of Marquis of Boyang, the officialdom is like a duck to water, and Mrs. Liu is pregnant, he said that the wife and the child should not come out to block the way."

"These words were heard by the servant while delivering the anti-fetal medicine. At that time, no one was guarding them, and they didn't notice when the servant went in. The servant did not make a sound when he heard something wrong, and only went in when it was quiet inside."

When Lingxi said this, the deep-seated hatred could not be restrained in his eyes, "The servant was thinking of asking for help, but I don't know if Boyanghou knew something, and he asked people to watch the servant all day long, but the servant did not appear at all. If you don’t go to the door, no one will help the slaves, and the slaves are illiterate, so they can only wait.”

"Little master, it's the servant who is incompetent. If the servant had rushed out at that time, maybe the madam would not have died."

She also believed in Boyanghou too much at that time, she felt that a tiger's poison would not eat its prey, and he might have thought of other ways to keep his wife from coming back, but she didn't expect to have someone directly intercept and kill her.

Later, when Lingxi received the news of his wife's death, every time he fell asleep, he would dream of his wife covered in blood and ask him why he didn't save her.

After years of anxiety, she was finally able to tell the truth.

Lingxi knelt down on the ground in relief, waiting for Chu Wuhen to say goodbye.

Chu Wuhen was silent for a long time, until Xin Zhi and others couldn't help looking at him, Chu Wuhen asked in a hoarse voice: "At that time, apart from you, Mrs. Liu and Marquis Boyang, was there no fourth person in the house?"

Lingxi was taken aback, raised his head and said, "Yes."

"it is good."

Chu Wuhen nodded and stood up, but the man who used to be upright and steady walked slightly swayed now.

Xin Zhi raised his hand to help him, but Chu Wuhen avoided it, and let out a deep breath after standing up straight.

"Lingxiong."

Lingxi's heart tightened, "The servant is here."

If Chu Wuhen's eyes fell on her head, he said in a deep voice: "What you said today, you will forget it when you leave this door. You only need to remember one thing——"

"What?" Lingxi was at a loss.

Chu Wuhen's eyes were bright, "You heard with your own ears that Marquis Boyang said that he wanted to pay for murder, and that he wanted to get rid of his wife to make way for Liu Shi and the child in her womb."

　The plot is slowly loading...a wave of heartache
