Afterward, Su Dingheng refrained from scolding Long Shuli because he grasped a certain truth. No matter how he stirred things up, Long Shuli would not pay him any attention. If he went too far, Long Shuli would simply press a needle to his neck, giving him the ultimatum of life or death.

This serene life persisted until Long Shuli became pregnant once again.

A man entirely clad in black sought her out, inquiring if she harbored jealousy towards Long Shuli and if she wanted Long Shuli’s life.

Her immediate reaction was reluctance because Long Shuli had never targeted her. Even though Long Shuli was aware of her existence and the prolonged affair with Su Dingheng, she couldn’t be bothered with her.

Long Shuli was beyond her influence.

However, the conditions presented by this man were exceedingly enticing.

He asserted, “Once Long Shuli is gone, you will have an opportunity. Su Dingheng will inherit the title, and in the future, you’ll become the madam of the Marquis’s Manor. Don’t you desire such prestige?”

Liu Shulan was immediately enchanted. “I want it! Of course, I want it!”

She cooperated with Wu Dao and carried out everything he instructed. She doubted her capability to accomplish much, merely adhering to her prescribed medication schedule, and bearing the child. During her pregnancy, she intensified Su Dingheng’s infatuation, ensnaring him and preventing him from realizing the affairs of the Marquis’s Manor.

On the eve of her delivery, she encountered that man once more.

That man told her that as long as she completed the last step, Long Shuli would not be far from death.

Trembling, she arranged to meet Long Shuli.

The pretext was to have Long Shuli decide for her unborn child.

They were all pregnant, and as mothers, Long Shuli came without any warning.

She didn’t meet Long Shuli in person but observed her from the side. She didn’t know what the man in black said to Long Shuli, but when Long Shuli came out, she seemed to have changed into a different person. Her face was pale, and she held her stomach. She looked like she was about to lose her balance.

Subsequently, she heard about Long Shuli’s difficult childbirth.

When Long Shuli was having a difficult labor, Su Dingheng was still sitting in front of her. He was drinking tea calmly. As he drank tea, he said disdainfully, “Isn’t that woman supposedly immensely talented? What’s the big deal about a challenging delivery? Who knows, the child might not be mine! Humph!”

At that moment, Liu Shulan harbored a foreboding feeling, until later…

Long Shuli succumbed to complications during childbirth, leaving behind a baby girl.

Having concluded the recollection of past events, Liu Shulan remained drenched in cold sweat.

“Is this the whole story?”

Su Yingxue bellowed, gripping her chin. “If you dare conceal anything, I’ll poison Su Yurou again!”

“No, please! Don’t harm my Rou’er…” Liu Shulan shook her head frantically.

“I’ve told you everything. Your mother’s medical skills were so exceptional. She shouldn’t have died… I suspect it was Wu Dao who harmed her!”

“Who is Wu Dao?” Su Yingxue’s eyes darkened, akin to a lurking beast.

Liu Shulan broke down in tears. “1 don’t know, truly! Wu Dao is formidable. He can do anything! His medical expertise is on par with your mother’s, and he even knows her. Yet, no one has seen his true face, and no one knows who he is…”

“Is that so?” Su Yingxue’s mouth curled into a cold arc.

Liu Shulan nodded tearfully. “Yes! That’s all I know! Spare me, spare my Rou’er…”

Su Yingxue released her chin and, after using a handkerchief, casually discarded it.

As she left with a cold expression, Liu Shulan continued pleading, “Su Yingxue, spare me and Rou’er!”

They still needed to survive. Her son and daughter still had hope!

However, Su Yingxue relished shattering those hopes the most..
