Chapter 941: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (63)
After hearing Fang Yunniang's cry, the officers who were holding her looked at each other and let her go without saying anything.
This woman is the concubine of the "young marquis", and now she is pregnant with someone else's child. What could be more interesting than this scene!
Doctor Zhou, who was recognized, did not admit his identity. Instead, he said coldly, "You have a woman's bun, so you must be married! Isn't it inappropriate to make up such a lie just to avoid going to the mines?"
Fang Yunniang was slightly stunned, but she immediately said, "Zhou Lang, don't deny it. We've been close to each other many times. You have a birthmark on your back. Do you dare to show it to us?"
Doctor Zhou obviously didn't expect Fang Yunniang to go to such lengths to survive, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't farm, what are you going to do, crazy woman? Get out of here and don't get in my way of buying people."
"You took my money but refused to save me. Zhou Lang, you are so cruel! I'm still pregnant with your child!" Fang Yunniang watched as the man was about to take Huo Qingyue away. She no longer cared about her dignity. "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
The word "retribution" did make Doctor Zhou pause, but only for a moment. He immediately pulled up the rope that bound Huo Qingyue and walked forward again—ha! Talking to him about retribution? If he was afraid of retribution, why would he become a bandit?
How dare I give this kind of medicine to Huo Qingyang?
Fang Yunniang looked at the other person's back, so she just went for it and hugged the other person's thighs.
None of the officers escorting them stepped forward to stop them; they were just watching the joke.
Finally, Huo Qingyang was the first to lose his patience. He shouted angrily, "That's enough, Yunniang. I can't believe you're such a person. You're clinging to a strange man just to survive. Get back here."
"It's better to live a miserable life than to die. What's wrong with me wanting to live? And I didn't say anything wrong. I am pregnant with his child." Fang Yunniang was also desperate at this time. "All these years in the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady didn't let me have children.
After so much trouble, I finally accepted her tricks, but you can't do it anymore. In order to become your legal wife, I don't find someone to borrow my seed. What do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Huo had been so angry about what had just happened that she was about to faint. When she heard Fang Yunniang say that her son was dying, she stood up tremblingly and said, "You vicious woman, what nonsense are you talking about? My son just broke his leg, how can he die!"
"Nonsense!" Fang Yunniang sneered. "How come you don't know? Those leg-healing medicines are mixed with something that can kill cattle and horses. Your son's physique wouldn't be good enough to stand up to those big animals!"
Old Madam Huo didn't want to believe such words, but she couldn't stand Fang Yunniang's determined expression. She pointed at her and wanted to say something to refute her.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out. The old man, who already had little life left, was now dying.
"Mom!" Huo Qingyang rolled and crawled towards his mother. "Mom, don't scare me! You must hold on. I will do my best to get the title back. Wait for me, wait for me."
Mrs. Huo shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Silly son, where is there any chance? From the day you inherited the title, this position has no possibility of being passed down. I have always disagreed with Fang Yunniang being your legal wife.
It's not just because she had an affair with you, but also because her family background doesn't allow her to be an ally of the Marquis' Mansion."
At this point, Madam Huo turned her head and looked at Fang Yunniang, her eyes filled with hatred. "Back then, the old marquis said you and your daughter were a disaster. It's a pity that I cared about my face and didn't send you to the farm earlier, which led to the disaster today."
Having said that, perhaps because she felt that she had let the Huo family down, the old lady started coughing up blood again.
"Boss, we are..." The officer was a little scared, "This number is fixed, and now one of them is dead, we..."
The man weighed the silver he had just received and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I'll just pay a little more when the time comes. An old woman only costs a couple of ounces of silver. Just say her daughter couldn't bear to be separated from her, so she asked the person who bought her to buy her mother as well."
Old Madam Huo finally passed away in front of Huo Qingyang.
When Huo Qingyue saw this scene, she was on the verge of collapse. She struggled hard to break free from the hand that was holding her and rushed towards Fang Yunniang. After knocking her down, she cried and hit the other person's stomach with her tied hands.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Huo Qingyue lashed out without mercy, "You jinx, it was clearly your brother who committed treason, but you caused my brother to lose his title, and now you've even angered my mother to death.
You have no shame in eating such things, you stole a man, and you got pregnant with an illegitimate child, and you dare to say it so carelessly, how can you still have the nerve to live! "
The police officers who were watching the show were shocked at first, and then hurried over to pull Huo Qingyue away - are you kidding? This young woman is very valuable. If she dies on the road, they will not be able to complete their mission, and they will not have much of the money they just earned left.
