Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 290 Good and Evil

Huai Changmeng was provoked by these words.

Even though he was already weak, he still tried his best to argue!

"That woman asked me to make incense with cloves, how was I supposed to know who she was going to give it to!"

"She's the one who's evil, yet she's blaming me? Why should I, the doctor, bear the blame for everyone's misdeeds!"

"I practiced medicine and saved lives, yet I met a terrible death!"

"If Heaven truly has eyes, can't it see the pitiful state of this world? Isn't it true that good deeds are rewarded?!"

……

He roared hysterically until he had no strength left to utter a single word.

Liu Yuechu sneered, "Even if you didn't know who she was going to give it to before, didn't you know afterwards? If you knew and still made clove incense for her, wouldn't you be harming her?"

"You know in your heart why you ended up like this, including the matter of Prince Chun's Mansion."

"Perhaps you wanted to gain merit by doing this, but unexpectedly you brought trouble upon yourself. If you truly feel wronged, perhaps you would have already gone to see the King of Hell and asked why he didn't take away the more wicked person!"

Liu Yuechu wouldn't let her overflow with sympathy just because she vented her emotions.

Huai Changmeng looked at her incredulously, "If I don't listen, I'll lose my life, and how will I avenge my dead family members!"

"So you hate the Huang family and hope that all of them will suffer misfortune and be buried with your deceased family members, rather than having no other choice."

Liu Yuechu directly tore away his last shred of dignity, "Even when you came to me seeking protection and to get you out of Beijing, it wasn't out of kindness that you asked for help, but rather because you wanted to bring up that incident from twenty years ago."

"Huai Changmeng, the deaths of your entire family are indeed deeply unjust. But if you want revenge, you should seek out the person who framed you and harmed you. Instead, you hate everyone. You didn't kill those who deserved to die, but you let innocent people die unjustly. What right do you have to be a good doctor? And you're still here crying and shouting that you've been wronged?!" Liu Yuechu rebuked decisively.

"What do you know? If you were me, you would probably be even more ruthless and have killed all these people long ago!" Huai Changmeng retorted.

"But I am not you, and I could never be you."

Liu Yuechu looked at him calmly, not wanting to waste any more words. "You know what I want to know. Tell me, and I'll spare your life, I won't really torture you to death."

“I don’t have much time either. I’ll give you a quarter of an hour to think. The timer starts now. If you don’t speak after a quarter of an hour, I’ll have someone throw you at the Huang family’s gate. Your life or death will be up to your own fate.” Liu Yuechu wasn’t just trying to scare him.

Huai Changmeng was shocked. He hadn't expected this woman to not even give him a chance to bargain!

"I don't believe you'll really send me away. I'll tell you everything about your man. Aren't you afraid his identity will be exposed?!"

"Say it if you want, do you think I'm afraid? Maybe if you tell the truth, I can actually become a better Lady of the Imperial Household. Why wouldn't I want that?" Liu Yuechu touched her lower abdomen. Before, she was alone, but now she was pregnant.

Although she didn't immediately become greedy and profit-driven, she wouldn't let go of any opportunity to add more sweetness to the honeymoon period after her child's birth.

Huai Changmeng was speechless for a moment.

He hadn't expected Liu Yuechu to refuse any of his moves, instead forcing him into a corner. This woman was far too difficult to deal with, leaving him with only one last option.

“I can say it, but are you sure you want them both to hear it?” He looked at Huajiao and Fang Suozi, deliberately trying to provoke them.

Because that matter involved the palace, very few people who knew about it are still alive!

"May I leave first?" Huajiao offered to leave. It wasn't that she was afraid of dying, but rather that she didn't want to put Liu Yuechu in a difficult position.

Fang Suozi considered it for a moment, then said, "I'll wait for you at the door... If you need anything, just give me a call, and I'll come in right away."

“No need to leave, just stay and listen.” Liu Yuechu had already realized that the mystery might be revealed soon, “and it’s not just the two of you and me, there are other people waiting for him to tell us about this.”

With so many ears around, who knows where they're all hiding?

Fang Suozi immediately looked around, feeling a chill run down his spine at what he heard.

Huajiao thought his master was referring to Hou Lai, as he was used to Hou Lai's elusive nature. He didn't know where the guy was hiding, but he certainly wouldn't miss this piece of gossip.

Huai Changmeng was extremely discouraged.

He couldn't understand why his methods, which always worked on women, were completely ineffective on Liu Yuechu.

Liu Yuechu ignored him and took the hourglass, pouring it onto the table.

The fine sand falls softly, like a countdown to the end of life.

Huai Changmeng didn't want to delay, so after asking for a glass of water, he started talking about the wife of Prince Chun...

His account was very detailed, including how Prince Chun knew the child his wife was carrying wasn't his, yet he didn't try to get rid of her. Instead, he took meticulous care of her, hoping she would be born safely and that he would treat her as his own child.

"...But what I didn't know was why that woman suddenly died after the child was born? And I was also accused of murdering the princess's wife and thrown into prison!"

“I can repay you with my life. Your health is perfectly fine after giving birth. In fact, you looked very peaceful after giving birth and even asked me a lot of questions.”

"I am truly a victim of palace secrets, I am truly innocent!"

"Then how do you know that this child is my husband?" Liu Yuechu asked, puzzled.

"Because he had a mole behind his ear, and the Princess Consort also had one in the exact same spot. When he was born, the Princess Consort was very proud of this and made a joke about it."

“I met him by chance, and after observing him carefully for a long time, I was able to confirm that he was the child,” Huai Changmeng said, recounting the details.

Liu Yuechu suddenly realized, no wonder... that woman had a mole, I should remember that.

"So our son-in-law isn't Prince Chun's son?" Huajiao listened for a while, feeling more and more confused by this gossip.

I had heard that the wife of Prince Chun was pregnant, and I thought that if the identity of her son-in-law were announced to the world, it would definitely surprise everyone.

I never imagined he was an illegitimate child, and with such a complicated background!

"Who would dare to cuckold Prince Chun? He's His Majesty's own brother!" Fang Suozi was also stunned for a long time, speechless.

In his eyes, His Majesty was the ruler of the Great Qi, and his younger brother was naturally domineering and untouchable. Who would dare risk touching his woman? That would be tantamount to courting death!

Liu Yuechu: "..."

Who else could it be? His own brother, of course.

The answer has been given, but no one dares to guess in that direction.

As for why Prince Chun wanted to raise him as his own son, perhaps he already knew about Emperor Qi Xiao and that woman at that time.

He hated the emperor to the core, yet dared not kill the emperor's bloodline.

"The bold get rich, the timid starve." That was all she could say.

"I've told you everything I know. I've been wronged for over twenty years. Can't I even know the truth before I die?"

He guessed that there must be a reason for this. Huang Fan killed the Huai family for Ding Huangshi's sake, which was just helping someone else by being a tool.

Liu Yuechu shook her head. "There are some things I cannot say. As for whether you will know before you die, that depends on fate!"
