Chapter 300: A Wishful Maid
Chapter 300: A Wishful Maid
Just like that, poor Bao Yin was ruthlessly dragged away by the ferocious guards, ready to be subjected to cruel punishment and torture.
Not long after, the originally peaceful yard was suddenly broken by a faint scream.
Although the sound was not loud, it revealed an unspeakable fear and pain.
It seemed to come from the depths of some tortured soul, but among the people in the room who heard the voice, no one seemed to sympathize with her.
However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Jiang Yimo's mind, as if she had grasped a key clue.
She quickly turned to Jingming Hou and said, "My Lord, I suddenly remembered something. Please send some people to search Baoyin's residence. I suspect there may be some unused saffron hidden in her room."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light flashed in Jingming Hou's eyes. He couldn't help but secretly admire Jiang Yimo's meticulousness and comprehensive consideration.
Jingming Hou nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval, "Great! Miss Jiang is really smart and thinks so carefully. I was so angry just now that I didn't even think of this. Now there is no time to lose. Send the servants to search immediately and don't miss any clues!"
After saying this, he loudly called over several trusted servants, gave them detailed instructions, and ordered them to rush to Baoyin's room and conduct a thorough search.
Not long after, the people that Marquis Jingming had ordered to search Baoyin's room returned one after another.
They looked serious, and the leading servant walked cautiously up to Marquis Jingming, then took out a small brocade bag from his arms and handed it respectfully to Marquis Jingming.
Marquis Jingming's heart tightened and he quickly reached out to take the brocade bag with quick and decisive movements.
He gently opened the brocade bag, and inside was a small package of thin saffron that looked like red silk threads!
These saffron flowers are bright and eye-catching, and exude a faint fragrance, as if telling some secrets.
Marquis Jingming stared at the small packet of saffron in front of him, and his originally sharp eyes became even deeper.
He seemed to see the truth hidden in the red thread. Then, he held the bag of saffron tightly, feeling its texture and temperature.
"Come here, drag Baoyin back." Marquis Jingming gave another order.
Not long after, the guards of the Marquis's Mansion dragged the bruised Baoyin back to the outside of the Marquis's wife's yard. Marquis Jingming did not allow the guards to drag Baoyin into the Marquis's wife's room because they were afraid that the smell of blood would offend the Marquis's wife.
At this time, outside the yard, Jingming Hou, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen were standing in front of Baoyin.
Jingming Hou had a dark face, staring at Baoyin who was forced to lie on the ground due to a hip injury. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment, as if they were about to spit fire.
Then, he swung his arm and threw the bag of saffron in his hand hard at Baoyin's face.
"Snapped!"
The saffron bag was broken into pieces, and the red petals inside flew everywhere, falling on Baoyin like blood rain.
Although Baoyin was not really hurt by the beating, she felt a burning pain on her cheek and her heart ached too.
Then, Jingming Hou said coldly: "Can you take a good look at what these are?"
His voice was like ice, revealing endless majesty and indifference.
However, since Jingming Hou threw the bag of saffron in her face, Baoyin knew that the matter had already been...
So she no longer tried to defend herself, but frankly admitted that it was she who caused the Marquis's almost miscarriage.
"Baoyin, why did you want to hurt the child that my wife and I managed to conceive with so much difficulty?"
Marquis Jingming really couldn't understand it. Baoyin was a born daughter of their mansion. Although she was of low status and was just a maid, the mansion had never treated her harshly.
Why did she want to harm her master's child?
After her parents passed away due to illness the year before last, Marquis Jingming specifically instructed the housekeeper to give her enough money to help her properly handle her parents' funeral affairs.
As for the fact that she was a widow at such a young age, although he felt sympathy for her, such things depended on fate, and he had no way to help her pull her man out of hell.
Marquis Jingming thought with a headache.
Unexpectedly, what Baoyin said shocked everyone present.
"Because I don't want that woman to give birth to the Marquis's child." Bao Yin lay on the ground, raised her head, and said in a firm tone.
"I have liked the Marquis since I was a child, and I have always wanted to be his woman, but he just doesn't like me. Even though I exposed myself in front of him on purpose, he never had any evil thoughts about me. He only had eyes for that woman."
"What's so good about that woman? Isn't she just pretty? But in fact, she is a waste. She has been with you for more than ten years, but she has not been able to give birth to a child for you!"
"As for me, I know that the Marquis loves children very much... so I can give birth to many children for the Marquis."
Bao Yin raised her head and looked at Jingming Hou and Jiang Yimo, her eyes filled with resentment and jealousy.
Jingming Hou and Jiang Yimo laughed angrily after hearing Baoyin's words. They had never seen such a shameless woman who was willing to hurt other people's lives in order to occupy the position of mistress.
"Is this the reason why you almost caused my wife to have a miscarriage?" Marquis Jingming asked angrily.
"Yes, some time ago, I learned that Miss Jiang cured Madam's infertility and she became pregnant successfully. I was very scared. If Madam really gave birth to the Marquis's child, then I would never have another chance. So, I was impulsive and did such a thing..." Bao Yin said with a sneer.
Jingming Hou listened quietly, and with a cold look in his eyes, he said, "Come here, send Baoyin to the police for processing."
At this time, neither Jingming Hou nor Jiang Yimo had the slightest mercy.
They understood that a crazy woman like Baoyin was not worthy of being forgiven. In the end, Baoyin was sent to the government and the matter came to a conclusion.
Jiang Yimo stepped into the Marquis's room again, walked to the bedside with ease, stretched out three fingers and placed them on the Marquis's wrist, concentrating on feeling the beating of her pulse.
It was unknown how much of what Baoyin said outside just now that the Marquis’ wife heard, but Jiang Yimo did not dare to mention the matter in front of the Marquis’ wife.
After a careful examination, she finally breathed a sigh of relief - the fetus in the Marquis's belly had stabilized.
Then, Jiang Yimo took out two small and exquisite porcelain bottles from the air and held them in her hands.
She handed the bottle to Marquis Jingming who was standing beside her, and said, "These two bottles of pills are specially prepared by my daughter. They are very beneficial for pregnant women to keep the fetus safe. Take one pill each morning and evening, and it will definitely keep the mother and child safe."
Marquis Jingming carefully took the jade bottle, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
He knew that the woman in front of him was not only an excellent doctor, but also had a kind and compassionate heart. He had long believed in her medical skills.
