Chapter 10 Punishment

“I want to strangle that bastard!”

“Peng!” An pounded on the pear wooden table heavily.

“Oh, my Madam. What are you doing? It will hurt yourself.”

“Why didn’t she go to die!” An was so furious, up and down in the chest. For many years, she designed numbers of methods for killing Zhao and Muge, but she didn’t put into practice. The reason why she permitted Zhao being pregnant many months was because she was intended to make Zhao and her fetus both die and no one can suspect her.

“Relax, my Madam. Now the baby is here. What are you worrying about?”

“That bastard? You think I should bring up him? Don’t forget, he is Zhao’s son and with her blood, that bitch!”

Li Mama understood that An had a higher birth than Zhao who was humble and An looked down on Zhao. However, An couldn’t give birth to a boy.

But Li couldn’t say that out.

“Madam, the young master is a treasure of the lord and nothing can happen to him. He is too little to know who his own mother is. You can treat him as your own son, so that he can take care of you after the second Miss getting married.”

Hearing that, An was more indignant.

She couldn’t have a baby any longer because Zhao came to Su mansion and made her so angry that she had an early labor, which made her have difficulty to be pregnant.

“Let me think.”

Li stopped talking. She knew that An was not so easy to put down the resentment.

……

“Mumu…” Zhao opened her dried lips a little, looking at Muge lying prone on the bed and wetting her eyes.

“Mom, you finally wake up.” Hearing the voice, Muge opened her eyes.

“I’m useless…”

Zhao was almost crying. Muge got a cup of warm water for her.

“Mom, don’t cry. You are in confinement. Crying is not good for your health. My brother is too young, and he needs you, so you must be healthy and strong.”

Zhao looked weak but she was strong inside. Her son was so young that she couldn’t leave him alone.

“OK. Where is your brother? Hold him here and let me see.”

“Mom, don’t rush. You have had a coma for a whole day and night. Let’s eat something first.”

“OK.”

After Zhao eating over, Muge said, “My daddy hired a nanny for my brother. You are not in good condition. When you recover, my brother will be back.”

Hearing that, Zhao became quite nervous.

“It’s An. She took your brother away, right?”

Muge comforted her and said, “Mom, don’t worry. Do you trust me?”

Zhao was in panic and raised to looked at Muge. After seeing her calm and clean crystal bright eyes, she said, “Of course I trust you.”

“So be easy. I will guarantee his safe coming back.”

“But…”

“No but.”

Looking at her firm eyes, Zhao moved her lips a little but stopped talking.

Her Mumu was really different from before.

Muge came to the wing room. She looked indifferently at Chunju kneeling on the ground.

Zhao was in the delivery and was in the crucial moment, but Chunju ran into the room and said loudly that something happened to Zhao’s mother. She had no good intention!

“Who told you about my grandmother?”

Chunju was not afraid of Su Muge at all, but since Muge woke up from the coffin, she felt that Muge was a little intimidating and frightening.

“I… I wanted to invite a doctor and met a Madam’s fellow-villager at the side door, who ever came to deliver things to Madam before. She said that your grandmother fell down accidentally and was to stop breathing.”

Muge maintained the same expression and put down the porcelain cup. “Where is she?”

“She sent the message and left. I don’t know where she is.”

Muge looked down and squinted at her. “How my mother fell down?”

Chunju’s eyes twinkled and kowtowed for mercy. “Forgive me, Miss. Madam Zhao was tired while walking and said she wanted to drink water, so I went to take water for her. But she had fallen to the ground when I’m back. I really don’t know how.”

Su Muge squinted and shouted. “You don’t know? What does Madam Zhao want of you! ”

“Miss Muge, forgive me, forgive me.” Chunju was frightened on thinking of the second Miss was pressed by the eldest Miss into the basin and almost passed out.

“Forgive you? If something happened to my mother, can you afford it? Drag her out and flog her forty times, then throw her out of the mansion!”

Muge didn’t give Chunju the opportunity to beg for mercy, walking out of the wing room.

Chunju was shocked. “Miss Muge, I serve for Madam. You can’t drive me out!”

Muge stopped her steps and looked down at her. “Serve for Madam. Which Madam?”
