After Yin Le listened to Mu Zihui's narration, he didn't say anything, but just looked at Mu Zihui with a sullen face for a long time.She was very angry. Although the world was like this and it was not the first time she had heard of such a thing happening among the people, she still couldn't accept it when it was so close to her life.

Being stared at by her, Mu Zihui was terrified and lowered his head in fear. This woman is already so humble, and a look of the same kind can make her tremble with fear.

Yin Le looked away, and said lightly: "Where are your nieces? You take them to live in the Liu family's other courtyard for the time being, and don't come back here for the time being."

Mu Zihui's eyes were a little shocked, his eyelashes fluttered, like a frightened dog's tail, and he murmured, "This, isn't it good?"

"Do you want to be tortured to death by your mother?" Yin Le asked again: "Where is your sister-in-law?"

Mu Zihui said: "She is watching the child in the back room and making breakfast by the way."

"Let her come out for a while, I have something to ask her." Yin Le said.

Mu Zihui got up quickly, and that old man Mu was a step faster than her, and said: "I'll go, you guys talk." Saying that, he hunched over and went in.

After a while, I saw a ten-year-old girl coming out leading several children. She was wearing coarse floral clothes with a belt around her waist, and a statue of Avalokitesvara hanging around her neck was exposed outside her clothes.The girl's complexion was dark, her facial features were not very delicate, and she could even be said to be a little ugly. She just stood there timidly, and when she saw Chu Ye and Yin Le, she didn't dare to come over.As for the children around her, the oldest is about seven years old, the middle one is five or six years old, and the youngest is about four years old. They are all very thin and their faces are dirty, with traces of soot or charcoal. , His hands were pitch black, and the nails were all muddy, pitch black.With withered and yellow hair, it can be seen that they have been malnourished for a long time. They stood behind the concubine and looked out, not daring to come over.

Yin Le felt that something was swelling in her heart, and this emotion made her very uncomfortable.She knows that Mu Rentong's salary is ten taels of silver a month, which is already a high-income person in the capital. The house can be bought better, and the standard of living can be raised. Even if it really can't be raised, the child They won't be so hungry.

Chu Ye has never said a word. When this little concubine came out with the child, he cursed in a low voice, and said to Yin Le in an orderly tone: "Hurry up and settle them!"

How could Yin Le care about his tone at this time?She stepped forward and asked the concubine, "What's your name?"

The concubine said timidly, "My name is Chunhua."

"Chunhua, tell me, what happened in the delivery room that day?" Although Yin Leshen felt that Wang Yue'e would not strangle her child to death, ask the matter clearly, and speak more confidently in the future.

Chunhua burst into tears, sobbed for a while, then looked up and saw that her mother-in-law was not in the room, and began to say: "That night, I heard sister Yue'e calling, so I went out to have a look. Later, my mother-in-law Tell me that Sister Yue'e is going to give birth, and let me take the child back to the room and not allow the children to come out to make trouble. I was afraid of my mother-in-law, and I dared not disobey her, so I took the three children back to the room to sleep. Later, it was about ugly At that time, I was woken up by Sister Yue'e's cry. She was howling, and it was very hard. The puppies can be sold for a lot of money. Then I was not allowed to see Sister Yue'e, but Sister Yue'e was really crying in pain. I was afraid that I would wake up the children, so I secretly went to find my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law was already in the delivery room Later, she rushed out and asked her mother-in-law to invite her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law said that money should not be wasted, and that it would be better to give birth to a stillborn baby. It would be better if both the baby and the baby were dead. My sister-in-law and I didn’t dare to go, so we had to go back secretly to cook rice soup for him. Sister Yue’e. But on the second day, Sister Yue’e still couldn’t give birth, and my sister-in-law and mother-in-law fought again, so I secretly ran out from the back door to invite Mrs. Wen. Wen Po scolded her away, so I stopped her, asked Wen Po for medicine, and fed it to Sister Yue'e. After pouring it for about a quarter of an hour, Sister Yue'e rolled on the bed in pain, and the child came out after a while As soon as I saw it was a boy, I cut the umbilical cord and took it out to show to my mother-in-law, but my mother-in-law said it was a stillbirth."

From her narration, it can be seen that she is a completely uneducated rural girl, and her speech is unclear. However, even so, Yin Le still understood. The child was thrown away, and she had no contact with the child at all?"

"No, I couldn't even take a look at it. She almost passed out when she was born. Later, her mother-in-law went in and beat her up, and she fell unconscious." Chunhua burst into tears and snot. She is a rural girl, although She is poor, but she is also doted on by her parents. She has never encountered such a thing, so this matter is also a shadow to her.

"Good girl, you saved Yue'e's life!" Yin Le could almost imagine the situation at that time. If she hadn't gone out to find Mrs. Wen, without that dose of medicine, Wang Yue'e would probably be gone.

Chunhua cried: "But sister Yue'e was driven away, and the husband hasn't come back yet. My mother-in-law has been so fierce recently, she won't scold me in the future. Ever since I helped sister Yue'e, she even scolded me. After a lot of beatings, you can see that my sister is covered with injuries."

Mu Zihui was used to being abused, and he never shed tears for himself.It's just that she is also a woman, and she feels sad for her sister-in-law.Hearing what Chunhua said, she hurriedly stepped forward to wipe away her tears, "Sister-in-law, stop crying, stop crying, don't scare the child."

When Chunhua heard Mu Zihui mentioning the child, she stopped crying immediately. She could see that she loved the child very much. Although she was not born by her, she was not very old, and she could play with the child well. That's it.

Chu Ye asked, "Where is Wang Yue'e now?"

When Mu Zihui first heard Chu Ye's words, he trembled with fright. When the regent asked her something, she lowered her head and stammered: "Go back... back... the prince's... ....talk....."

Chu Ye glanced at Yin Le impatiently, Yin Le asked Mu Zihui softly, "Is your sister-in-law at her mother's house now?"

Mu Zihui's tense expression finally relaxed, and he replied: "Yes, I was driven away by my mother, and now I am at her mother's house."

Yin Le frowned and said, "Get away? Isn't she still very weak? Can she stand up to such a fight?"

"I can't stand it, I can't help it. I hired a big cart to pull it back. My sister-in-law refused to leave, and was thrown into the cart by two coolies!" Mu Zihui said, her eyes were red, she didn't cry for herself, But I can't help but feel sorry for my sister-in-law.

Yin Le was worried about Wang Yue'e's body, so he looked back at Chu Ye, who said, "Go, go and have a look!"

Yin Le ordered Hongyan to stay here and arrange for the women and children. As for the old woman coming back, don't rush to clean her up. When Mu Rentong comes back, the debt will be settled again.
