Li Mansion.

"Miss, Miss?" Hong Mei called out cautiously at the door, and only when she heard a faint moan from inside did she quietly breathe a sigh of relief and continued, "Miss, are you awake? May I assist you in getting up?"

Jin Lingling moved her extremely weary body, too tired to even open her eyelids, and her voice was hoarse, "What time is it?"

Hong Mei gently pushed the door open, and while pouring a cup of hot water for Jin Lingling, she replied, "It’s almost noon."

Jin Lingling was startled, then laughed mockingly to herself, noon again, huh.

"What about him?"

Although she didn’t specify who ’he’ was, Hong Mei knew that Jin Lingling was asking about her son-in-law, Li Chengzhi, and her face couldn’t help but reveal a disgusted expression, "The young master has gone to the store."

Jin Lingling snorted coldly, "There’s no one else here, why still call him ’young master’?"

Hong Mei cast her eyes down, filled with hatred for Li Chengzhi as well.

"Miss, the servants have been instructed to prepare bath water for you. First, please take a sip of water to moisten your throat," Hong Mei said, sitting by the bed, she carefully helped Jin Lingling sit up, and brought the tea cup to her lips for a drink.

Jin Lingling was terribly thirsty, she drank a full cup of water in her hand before stopping, and then, exhausted, lay back on the bed, her eyelids about to close again.

Seeing Jin Lingling like this, Hong Mei felt a deep pity and advised, "Miss, you can’t go on like this. Even if you hate that man to the core, you can’t risk your own health!"

With her eyelids closed, Jin Lingling talked to Hong Mei without opening her eyes, "Hong Mei, do I have any other choice?

In this mansion, you are the only one I can trust. Do you want me to push you out instead?

My health is already ruined, but, even if it is, I want to make sure that couple of dogs does not die a good death! "

Hong Mei’s throat moved, her lips quivered as she said, "Miss, perhaps, I could help you!"

Jin Lingling suddenly opened her eyes, two sharp gleams shooting towards Hong Mei’s cheeks, "Stop talking! Don’t even think about it! Hong Mei, once I take care of this matter, I will set you free to marry. If you ruin your own innocence for that scoundrel, I, I, cough, cough, cough."

"Miss, Miss, don’t be angry, I won’t do it, don’t be mad at me," Hong Mei said, her eyes reddening as she assured quickly.

It took a while for Jin Lingling to stop coughing and slowly recover.

She clutched her chest with one hand and viciously clutched the bedsheets with the other, her eyes red with rage and regret, "Hong Mei, am I very stupid? To actually believe in that man’s sweet nothings.

.. ha, if it wasn’t for you telling me about him and that vile wench Lin Siyu getting together, I would’ve never believed he could betray me!

Hong Mei, did they really cause me to lose my child? "

Hong Mei clenched Jin Lingling’s hand with a heartache, tears streaming down her face, "Miss, I, I’m not sure.

Have you forgotten? Didn’t I tell you that Panpan, who is often around Lin Siyu, always warns me to be careful with your pregnancy?

I thought she was just jealous, but thinking about it, perhaps she meant something else. "

As for Panpan, Jin Lingling had no recollection of her, or perhaps, she never took to heart anyone or anything related to Lin Siyu. With her pride, how could she regard a concubine from a farming background?

But oh, the irony of fate, that it was this little concubine who caused the loss of her child!

Thinking of Lin Siyu’s enchanting face made Jin Lingling feel nauseated.

"Is everything ready? Don’t forget to poison him."

Hearing Jin Lingling’s words, Hong Mei nodded resolutely, "Rest assured, Miss, if there’s one thing Jin Mansion doesn’t lack, it’s Silver.

What can’t be done with Silver? Especially when it’s just a young servant around Li Chengzhi.

But Miss, why bother doing it yourself? Wouldn’t it be better to go back to the mansion and seek the Family Head and Madam’s help?

They adore you so much, they will surely support you. "

Jin Lingling scoffed, "They only serve Silver."

She paused, then added, "Now I finally understand why the main house was reluctant to let Jin Yuyu marry Chengzhi. My mother married me into Li Mansion, just hoping that Li Mansion could help them wrestle for the Family Head’s position against the main house.

Without securing the position of the Family Head, do you think they would dare to offend Li Chengzhi? "

"Then we wait, wait until Father becomes the Family Head, and then we ask him to take action. Although it will take a long time, it’s still better than you acting on your own," Hong Mei urged.
