Chapter 131 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
The scene in front of her left Hua Yan dumbfounded. She stared at everything in the room with her eyes wide open in disbelief. Hua Dai was lying naked on the bed, with no covering, her body covered with red marks, and she seemed to be not very conscious.
Hua Yan's throat choked with sobs, and her eyes instantly became moist, with anger and grief intertwined together.
The man on Hua Dai looked at Hua Yan who suddenly broke into the room in panic, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
"My dear, listen to my explanation! None of this was my intention!" The man spoke incoherently, with cold sweat on his forehead. He tried to push the woman away, pointing at her and saying, "It was her, this bitch who seduced me! I don't know what medicine she gave me, which made me lose my mind, and then... she just kept clinging to me!"
Hua Yan looked at the scene in front of her coldly, her heart filled with anger and despair. She could never have imagined that her beloved husband would betray her and find such a ridiculous excuse to shirk responsibility.
"Enough!" Hua Yan shouted angrily, interrupting the man's explanation. Her eyes were as cold and ruthless as ice, "Don't use those hypocritical words to deceive me. You... are shameless!" Hua Yan slapped Huangfu Xian hard on the face with a "slap", and then turned away.
Just as she stepped out of the door, she suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain and immediately screamed "Ouch".
"I'm afraid the madam is about to give birth, go and call someone quickly!" The nanny standing nearby saw it and shouted loudly.
At this moment, the lady came hurriedly. She frowned when she saw the situation in front of her, but she didn't say much, just gave a concise order: "Help the young lady back quickly! At the same time, immediately find a trustworthy and experienced midwife to come! In addition, report this matter to the master as soon as possible and ask him what he should do."
At the same time, Huangfu Xian's drunkenness instantly disappeared. He hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed towards where his wife was in a panic.
That night, the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard like water. Hua Yan finally gave birth to Huangfu Yan after going through many hardships and almost lost her life.
When Hua Dai woke up from her coma, Qing'er hurried to her side and lied to her that the man who spent the night with her was Changsun Di!
Upon hearing the news, Hua Dai was secretly delighted because she felt that she had finally achieved one step in her plan.
Then, Qing'er revealed, "But the madam knew about this. She is very angry, but she will not let you marry Changsun Di. Family disgrace should not be made public. After all, a girl's body is already broken. It will be difficult for her to find a good home in the future. If it spreads, it will be even more unpleasant. Therefore, it is decided to let you become Huangfu Xian's second wife and go to Kyoto to live together."
In this way, the two sisters followed Huangfu Yan on the journey back to Beijing.
Although Hua Dai is somewhat naive in terms of feelings and easily indulges in romantic fantasies, she has an amazing business mind and talent for business.
After arriving in Kyoto, she tried her best to make money, both openly and secretly, trying every possible way to gain more wealth. And most of this money was eventually sent to Changsun Di who was far away.
Every letter Chang Sun Di sent was filled with sweet words of love, promising that as long as his army grew stronger, there would be a day for Hua Dai to be proud.
Hua Dai believed these words without a doubt, and waited anxiously for that wonderful moment to come with joy every day.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed. Hua Dai suddenly realized that something was wrong with her body. After some examination, she was surprised to find that she was pregnant!
The news made her ecstatic. She thought it was Changsun Di's child, so she couldn't wait to write a letter to Changsun Di to share her joy.
After receiving the letter, Chang Sun Di did not deny it, but wrote back asking Adai to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy and health.
At the same time, Qing'er also discovered that she was pregnant!
After learning about this, Chang Sun Di came up with a plan and wrote to Fang Qing: "In order for us to monopolize the huge wealth of the Huangfu family in the future, we must find a way to get rid of Hua Yan and his son. Then we will carefully plan a conspiracy to replace the son born by Hua Dai with the child of you and me. In this way, we can achieve our goal without anyone noticing."
Although Qing'er felt reluctant to hear this, she was used to listening to Changsun Di Yan's advice, so she agreed out of interest.
Fang Qing was skinny and she could shrink her bones, so no one noticed she was pregnant. Hua Dai often arranged for her to go out. In the days before giving birth, she said she had a business to supervise in person. Hua Dai didn't suspect anything. In fact, she gave birth to the child outside, and then hid the child near Huangfu Mansion. She bribed the midwife who delivered Hua Dai, waiting for Hua Dai to give birth and then replaced the child with hers.
Sure enough, the day after Fang Qing gave birth to her child, Hua Dai also gave birth to a daughter.
In the following days, everything went smoothly according to their plan. The lady was killed, Hua Dai was promoted from a concubine to the main wife, but Huangfu Yan escaped.
If Bai Xinyin had not appeared, perhaps it would not take long before all the wealth in Minister Bu's mansion would fall into Huangfu Yun's hands, and eventually all this money would be controlled by Changsun Di.
However, fate is always full of variables, and no one can predict how the future will develop...
As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Changsun Di has already passed away. Fang Qing knows that her crime is unforgivable and she cannot escape the fate of death, but Huangfu Yun and the unborn child in her belly always make her worried and unable to let go.
If Huangfu Yun was sentenced to death, Fang Qing would never be able to rest in peace even if he died.
Hearing what Fang Qing said, everyone around was shocked and extremely surprised.
As the saying goes, "Those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly." It is obvious that Chang Sun Di is a completely unfaithful and heartless man.
Be it Hua Dai or Fang Qing, in fact, neither of them is the one he truly loves; he neither loves any of them nor anyone else, and his heart and eyes are filled with only his own interests and wealth and glory.
Oh! These two foolish women...
Shangguan Qing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Huh! Speaking of this Changsun Di, he was really good at tricks back then. At first, he relied entirely on the support of his father-in-law's family to make his fortune. With the help of this relationship, he gradually accumulated wealth and status. However, he was not satisfied with this, and then he hooked up with the daughter of the richest man in the area. Through this marriage, he further consolidated his position and finally gained a foothold. It can be said that he climbed up completely by stepping on women's heartbreaks. But those women were still devoted to him and were played around by him."
As the saying goes: If a man is not bad, women will not love him. However, at this moment, Fang Qing could only look up to the sky and sigh, lamenting the impermanence of the world and the fate of people: "Retribution, everything is retribution! Hahaha..."
Hua Dai, who was standing by, almost collapsed and went crazy after hearing this, but she still retained a trace of rationality in her heart and asked in a trembling voice: "What about my child? Where did she go?"
Fang Qing looked at the crazy Hua Dai in front of her, and her heart was filled with guilt and regret. After all, Hua Dai treated her well, but she betrayed her for a man and stabbed her in the back.
But now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and tell the truth: "As soon as your child was born, the midwife threw him into the chamber pot and drowned him."
After hearing Fang Qing's words, Hua Dai stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning, and then let out a shrill scream.
The cry echoed in the air, as if it could penetrate one's soul. Then, she raised her head and burst into tears. Her cry was miserable and sad, which moved people. But while crying, Hua Dai suddenly started laughing again, and that laughter was full of despair and helplessness.
Obviously, after learning this cruel fact, Hua Dai finally couldn't bear the blow, her spirit completely collapsed, and she fell completely into madness.
Unjust is doomed to destruction!
Everything that happens today is the result of cause and effect, and we all have ourselves to blame.
