Chapter 975: Chapter 973 Someone Died Inside the room, the air was filled with an inescapable stench of blood. Lady Fang lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, and her skirt was soaked with blood. She had been crying out earlier, but now, perhaps she heard the scream from Zhang Qiuju, she didn’t dare to shout anymore and only sobbed quietly. Like a wild beast, Zhang Qiuju rushed into the room. She saw Lady Fang and without a word, slapped her twice: "You wretch! Tell me, whose bastard is in your belly?" The two slaps left Lady Fang with a bleeding lip and half-dazed, sprawled on the bed unable to regain her senses. The maid attending to Lady Fang screamed and wanted to help her, but seeing Zhang Qiuju’s fiery expression, she timidly shrunk back to the side. Lady Fang opened her mouth and glanced at the maid, saying with difficulty: "Go, quickly find the master—" "Oh, you vixen spirit, shameless one! Tell me, when did you two first hook up? Is that bastard in your belly his? Speak—" Upon hearing Lady Fang’s immediate reaction to find her husband, Zhang Qiuju exploded in rage. She grabbed Lady Fang by the hair and dragged her straight off the bed, slamming her heavily onto the floor. Lady Fang groaned, her vision filled with golden stars, as she felt the blood flowing faster, chilling her body. She steadied herself and struggled to explain: "Mother, I didn’t, didn’t... This child, this child is Sihai’s!" When Tian Sihai had also followed Zhang Qiuju in unbeknownst to anyone, upon hearing this, he crazily pulled something from his chest and threw it onto Lady Fang’s face: "At this point, you still want to deceive me? What’s this? What’s this?" Lady Fang focused her eyes on it. It was a light blue pouch embroidered with a golden toad, immediately struck by lightning, she grabbed the pouch and reached out to grab Tian Sihai’s clothes: "Brother Sihai, listen to me. Things aren’t what you think, really—" Tian Sihai kicked Lady Fang away, his eyes red with rage: "Explain what? Explain how this pouch isn’t my father’s? Or explain how the bastard in your belly isn’t my father’s? Lady Fang, what have I, Tian Sihai, done wrong to you? Is that why you want me to wear the green hat? Huh?" Zhang Qiuju snatched the pouch from Lady Fang’s hand and looked closely; wasn’t this the one carried by her own man? How could it be with Lady Fang? When the pouch from her father-in-law’s body ends up in the hands of a daughter-in-law, what else can be said? Zhang Qiuju pounced again, grabbing and tearing into Lady Fang. Lady Fang couldn’t compete with Zhang Qiuju, having no strength to fight back. She could only let Zhang Qiuju pinch, grab, bite, kick, and hit her, and soon she fell into a faint. The maid attending beside had long since been scared out of her wits and slipped out while no one noticed. Outside in the yard, the stewardess and maid purchased days ago dared not enter; they stayed at the door eavesdropping. All they heard was Lady Fang’s voice growing softer until it wasn’t heard. The more daring stewardess peeped inside to see Lady Fang lying on the floor, life or death unknown, with a pool of blood seeping beside her. Instantly she screamed: "Oh no! There’s a murder! The old lady killed the Second Young Lady—" This scream scared the other two maids out of their wits, scattering wildly. This shout also brought Tian Sihai’s senses back. He looked down to see Lady Fang lying on the floor, breathing weakly. Zhang Qiuju was still kicking wildly at Lady Fang’s abdomen. Such a crazed vicious look even made Tian Sihai’s back cold with fear. He hurriedly held Zhang Qiuju back: "Mother, mother, stop! It’s going to be murder!" Thankfully he pulled Zhang Qiuju aside. Zhang Qiuju panted heavily: "Kill her! Kill that wretch! You coward, the wretch put a green hat on you and you still protect her? Do you want to be this cuckold? Let her bear bastards to fight for your estate in the future?" Tian Sihai also wished desperately to strangle Lady Fang but it couldn’t work, gulping, he hastily replied: "Mother, we can’t take Lady Fang’s wretched life now! The shouts from those stewardesses and maids probably alerted people. We better clean up and not let anyone see!" "Such a vile woman like this deserves to be killed and drowned! Who could object?" Zhang Qiuju took it lightly. In the countryside, an immoral woman caught in the act would be drowned by the clan, they dared not defy the heavens. "Mother! We’re not in the countryside! Besides, Fang’s family still has people, if something serious happens, what if they come to make trouble? Let’s swallow our anger now, carry Lady Fang onto the bed, cover up what happened here and deal with the wretch later!" Tian Sihai’s mind had already run through several schemes. While speaking, he lifted Lady Fang onto the bed, randomly covering her with a blanket. At the same time, he called people at the door: "Where did everyone die off to, hurry in and clean up!" After calling for a long time, the maid who had been attending Lady Fang finally poked her head out carefully. Forced by Tian Sihai, she scrubbed the blood off the floor. As she finished, the maid’s face was pale, and her hands trembled, not daring to leave, only standing aside. Tian Sihai then glanced at the maid: "Remember well today’s matter, say the Second Young Lady unintentionally had a bleeding accident, and the child cannot be saved. She went mad and fell from the bed, damaging her face and knocking herself unconscious. Did you hear?" The maid trembled and nodded: "Heard... heard it." "If anyone comes later, say this, got it? Or else be careful you don’t get sold to the brothel!" Tian Sihai threatened. The maid was scared to tears, nodding and shaking her head: "Second Master, I know what to say, please don’t sell me to the brothel!" Only then did Tian Sihai somewhat relax, testing Lady Fang’s breathing, "You just stay here and attend to her!" He said as he grabbed Zhang Qiuju and went out. Outside the courtyard, they found the stewardess and maids trembling beyond it. They had run out but realized their indenture was in Zhang Qiuju’s hand. Where could they run? Not daring to enter the courtyard, they stood outside. Seeing the two come out, the stewardess and two maids looked at each other, suddenly kneeled and begged for mercy: "Pray, old lady and Second Master have mercy..." Tian Sihai had no mood to deal with these stewardesses and maids. He only threatened them to keep their mouths shut or be sold to the mountain, then dragged Zhang Qiuju back into the house.
