Chapter 61b: One After Another Suspicious Point

 

Naturally understanding why Wang Xue Ru wouldn’t be happy, Luo Qing Luan didn’t particularly care and consoled her. “Don’t mind her. If Father’s Concubine causes trouble for you, just tell me and everything will be fine. I will help you.”

“No. That’s not it.” 

Seeing that Luo Qing Luan still didn’t understand what she’s trying to say, Nanny Song anxiously spilled the beans. “I’m just afraid that the side madam, that she will harm you!” 

Her gaze turning chilly, Luo Qing Luan responded. “Wet Nurse, what have you heard?” 

Originally coming with the intention of warning Luo Qing Luan, Nanny Song immediately answered. “My Lady, you don’t know, the girl in the kitchen, Juan’Er, is a bit close to me. Normally, she treats me pretty well. She accidentally told me that the side madam wanted……wanted her to poison your food!”

And here she thought that it was some great scheme. Turned out that it’s poison!

Luo Qing Luan couldn’t hold back her smile. “Wet Nurse, what are you worried about. Others may not know, but don’t tell me that you still don’t know of my ability? Don’t mention some poisoned food. Even if Father’s Concubine bought all of the poison in the capital, she can forget about succeeding.”

Wang Xue Ru was but an ordinary woman. At most, she could buy some crane’s red crown, arsenic powder, or whatnot. Even if she was able to find some rarely seen drugs, how could someone who had received training from the Ghost Doctor not be able to tell.

However, after thinking about this, she still consoled Nanny Song. “Wet Nurse shouldn’t worry, nothing will happen. If Father’s Concubine want to harm me, then I’ll just happen to find evidence to have Father drive her away. This woman is so malicious, it’s better that Father stop her. That can also be considered taking revenge for my mother.”

This was also something that Luo Qing Luan only found out later on. During that time, before Luo Cheng married her mother, he already took in this concubine, Wang Xue Ru. It’s just that her status at that time was but a concubine. Later on, her mother died, then Wang Xue Ru rose to the position of side madam.

If it were not for this,why would a distinguished noble daughter like her be born after Luo Qing Shuang and become her younger sister!

The primary wife had not given birth, yet as a concubine, Wang Xue Ru already gave birth to a daughter. One could well imagine her methods.

After grinding her teeth a few times, Nanny Song finally spit it out. “My Lady, I came today also for the sake of telling you an even more important matter.” After composing herself, he lowered her voice and said solemnly. “I suspect that the madam passing away from difficult labor was also something that the side madam caused.”

Even though she also suspected this early on, hearing Nanny Song personally say it still made Luo Qing Luan startled. “Wet Nurse, what did you say?”

“Even though I didn’t personally see it, recalling what happened at the time and also what happened afterwards, I truly feel that what killed the madam was the side madam.”

Very quickly, Nanny Song described the circumstances from that time all the way through.

Even if fifteen years had already passed, when Luo Qing Luan listened, she still felt it to be as hair raising as before. Once she thought of how that woman gave up her own life to give birth to her, she couldn’t help but tremble from head to foot. If it wasn’t for her mother’s effort and perseverance, she’s afraid that she wouldn’t have existed, and her mother wouldn’t have died.

“At the time, I was serving the madam all along. Clearly, her health was just fine up until a few days before her due date. Her Highness the Empress even especially had the imperial physician help examine the madam. He said that there’s still half a month before she will give birth, but in merely three days, Madam felt the fetus move. Moreover, the circumstances were really too coincidental. The master already found a midwife early on, but Madam suddenly wanted to give birth. When we went to find that midwife, she unexpectedly already returned to visit her village.”

Nanny Song spoke both anxiously and sadly, as keyed up as if the events were happening again. “Afterwards, we were truly at a loss for what to do. The master started to go to seek the imperial physician when at that moment, the side madam said instead that she could find midwife who helped her give birth. The master immediately had her send someone to invite……”

Luo Qing Luan immediately spoke up. “I’m afraid that there’s a problem with that midwife.”

“When the madam was giving birth, that was already equivalent to passing the gates of hell. If there was someone who played tricks, then that absolutely would become misfortune with no chance of fortune. If the matter was truly caused by Wang Xue Ru, then most likely, she made many preparations before her mother gave birth, only waiting until the time was right before striking. 

Nanny Song continued to speak. “Afterwards, I saw the midwife came, so I quickly went to help. Subsequently, Madam gave birth to you with difficulty. The master had just held you when Madam just……just……”

“My mother just what?” She already knew of her mother’s tragic demise, but no one had ever told her exactly how her mother passed away. Luo Qing Luan grabbed Nanny Song’s hand tightly and said impatiently, “Did she eat something Wang Xue Ru give her, then died?”

Nanny Song shook her head. “No. Madam was weak after birth and had no strength left. She couldn’t even speak. I had just brought some soup over in order to steady her breath, but in the end……Madam suddenly hemorrhaged.”

As if what happened fifteen years ago was happening again at present, Nanny Song covered her face and painfully continued. “Madam bled incessantly. After that, a physician came and said that it’s because the fetus wasn’t in the right position, yet Madam forced herself to give birth. Originally, the master was just fine, but the physician said that Madam wouldn’t have died if she didn’t insist on having you, so one of the reasons the master didn’t like you later on was because of this.”

Her heart incomparably heavy, Luo Qing Luan finally knew roughly what happened at that time. But to find out whether her mother’s death was caused by Wang Xue Ru, there were still many facts that she needed to clarify. 

For example, did that midwife take any improper action. Also that physician. Did he have anything to do with Wang Xue Ru. Why would he say those things. 

She must investigate everything until the truth came to light.
