Dong Poming ca to the mansion, naturally because there was no movent from the East Mansion yet, and when she heard the ssage delivered by the maid, knowing that Dong Boyun had moved the fetal qi, Dong Poming found her way to the mansion.
Dong Poming’s face didn’t look good. After being led by the maid to Dong Boyun, she adopted an authoritative stance, waving her hand for the maids in the room to leave.
"I heard that you didn’t act after you went over there. How did I tell you at that ti? Did you forget all of it? Your aunt is not having a good ti in the mansion now; she’s only just recovered. You surely don’t want your aunt to fall ill, right? And as for father and mother, they’re always hoping you’ll co back. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the Eldest Prince over there hadn’t been pressing, I wouldn’t have co to the mansion myself. I know you’re married now and have your own ideas. You don’t take what we say to heart, but don’t forget, getting married doesn’t an it’s all over. There’s still your aunt and father."
"They already know what the matter is, although they haven’t exposed it. They realized it was my doing, but they’ve hinted at with words. There’s nothing more I can do about it. I’ve done everything you asked, now that they’ve guarded against and even hint at with words, what more can I do? Since you’re so capable, I bet you have better ways; why don’t you do it yourself? As for the bla from the Eldest Prince, it’s the Dong Mansion’s concern. I’m already married; the matters of the Dong Mansion have nothing to do with ." Dong Boyun’s face looked grim; her face was pale, and she lacked spirit because of the disturbed fetal qi. "I won’t say much about other things. Aunt is father’s woman. If father insists on using aunt as a hostage, asking to act is simply unfilial. I’ve done what I could and tried my best. Now that things have reached this point, I advise you all to stop. Lin Youning is a smart one, as you know. Once she guesses it’s behind it, she’ll certainly investigate why I did it, which leads straight to you all."
"You don’t have to speak such words to threaten . I’m entering the Prince Mansion by winter; can she possibly act against the Prince Mansion? Now you don’t even care for aunt. Don’t say they’ve found out; I think you’re just looking out for yourself. All you had to do was ss with so things, which could be easily put in food when you visit. Just make so food and bring it over, how could anyone suspect that?" Dong Poming sat there, retorting with a mocking expression.
"Enough, stop saying these things. If you have the ability to criticize here, you might as well do it yourself. How did you tell back then? You said that after taking the dicine, the person would experience morning sickness. I didn’t understand at the ti why you would want to give Lin Youning such dicine? Now I finally understand, you must have known she was pregnant, which is why you wanted this dicine administered? Severe morning sickness can lead to miscarriage early in pregnancy, but why do you all want Lin Youning to miscarry?" Dong Boyun’s eyes were red. "Just to make it believable, I ate those drugged pastries along with her. Now my own pregnancy is affected, and you dare say it has nothing to do with the dicine? I don’t even care about my identity or the child in my belly. Do I have to do whatever you tell ? Now that they’ve beco wary, and you’re sitting here blaming for not doing well, using aunt and the entire Dong Mansion to threaten , aren’t you a daughter of the Dong Mansion too? Don’t push too far; if father keeps forcing like this, I’ll expose everything, let everyone know what you’ve done. I’ve nothing much left; I might as well give my life to you, but I won’t let you have your way."
"You’re speaking unfairly. I gave you the dicine for the drugging. Just by saying a few words, you’re worried enough to have your aunt initiate it? Since you’ve started, don’t bla others, and you should know to see things through. Once things are started, they shouldn’t be left halfway. Do you realize how much the Eldest Prince has sacrificed for this step? It’s also for supporting the Eldest Prince. When the Dong Mansion prospers, your life at the Wang Family can’t be bad, can it? Don’t say you didn’t think so; who would believe you weren’t trying to save your aunt?" Dong Poming wasn’t intimidated by her words at all. "If you don’t care about your family’s lives, feel free to spread this around. Do you really think such words can scare ?"
Dong Poming stood up, "The Eldest Prince’s patience is limited. I’ll give you another three days. If there’s no movent from the East Mansion within three days, you can explain the consequences to father then."
Dong Boyun didn’t respond as she watched Dong Poming leave, only to see her husband enter the room, leaving her stunned.
Wang Wen’s face didn’t look good. "I heard everything you just said. You’ve been going to the East Mansion to administer dicine, haven’t you? All along, I’ve thought of you as a kind woman, never looking down on you for your background. I once told you that background doesn’t matter; what matters is character. But now it seems I was wrong, and I’ve misjudged. I always believed my wife was kind, yet you used soone’s affection for you to harm them. How could soone like that be kind?"
"Husband, listen to my explanation; things are not like that." Tears continuously fell from Dong Boyun’s eyes. "I had no choice. They threatened with my aunt’s life, forcing to drug there. They said it was just a dicine to simulate pregnancy symptoms, with no other side effects. How could I have given such to Sister Ning if it was poison? You kept asking if sothing was wrong; I knew if I told you, you would be disappointed, but I had no choice. I couldn’t bear to see sothing happen to my aunt."
"To protect your aunt, you harm others? Using their trust in you to do so? How could you be such a person?" Wang Wen asked in return.
