The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Xue Jinhua's heart shook violently, as if a flash of lightning passed through her mind, and in an instant she suddenly realized!

Her eyes widened, her voice trembling unconsciously: "You...you are planning to take advantage of my child?"

Yes, she had always felt strange before, wondering why Meng Jincheng would bring her to this place for no reason.

At this moment, all her doubts were resolved, and she finally understood his unknown intentions.

"What on earth do you want to do to my child?" Xue Jinhua asked angrily, with flames of anger burning in her eyes.

Seeing that she had understood, Meng Jincheng couldn't help feeling annoyed and unhappy, but at the same time he also knew that it would be difficult to continue hiding this matter.

Although he couldn't explain the reason to her calmly, at this moment, he had lost the last of his patience.

"Xue Jinhua, no matter what you feel in your heart, when the child is born, all the truth will be revealed." Meng Jincheng said expressionlessly, his tone so cold that it made people shudder.

"As for Ling Yan, huh, stop dreaming. I have already arranged people to monitor him, so he won't be able to find your trace." At this point, Meng Jincheng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a cruel smile.

Hearing Meng Jincheng's cold and ruthless words, Xue Jinhua felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and a feeling of grief and indignation surged in her heart.

She gritted her teeth, glared at Meng Jincheng angrily, and angrily said, "Meng Jincheng, you are simply a lunatic! You are doing this recklessly. Aren't you afraid of bringing endless suffering to the people of Southern Xinjiang?"

“What does it matter if the people suffer?”

A cold smile appeared on Meng Jincheng's lips, like frost. "As long as I can achieve my wish, even if all the people die, what does it matter?"

"You...you are simply extremely selfish, hopeless!" Xue Jinhua was so angry that her eyebrows raised and she shouted directly.

However, Meng Jincheng didn't care at all, as if he didn't hear anything. He shouted towards the door in a moment, "Someone, keep a close eye on Madam Xue. If there is any mistake again, you can imagine what will happen to you."

No matter how Xue Jinhua cursed, Meng Jincheng remained calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

After he left, Xue Jinhua still felt unwilling.

But now that things have come to this, she can only find ways to get in touch with Ling Yan.

But now she is trapped here, knowing nothing about the outside world, and she can't get any information from the outside world. What should she do?

Xue Jinhua stared at her bulging belly and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a petite girl slowly walking in.

However, after entering the room, the girl stood silently beside Xue Jinhua without saying a word, like a silent sculpture.

Seeing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked softly, "What's your name?"

When the girl heard the question, she just raised her head slightly, glanced quickly at Xue Jinhua, and then quickly lowered her head again, still remaining silent.

Xue Jinhua frowned slightly and said in a slightly heavier tone: "What? Are you mute? I'm asking you a question!"

But even so, the girl still had no reaction. She just looked up again at Xue Jinhua who was sitting next to her, and then started signing with her.

Seeing this scene, Xue Jinhua's heart was suddenly shocked, and she suddenly realized that the maid in front of her was actually a mute!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ponder inwardly: It must be because of the previous Ximei incident, Meng Jincheng has already ordered that no one is allowed to talk to me anymore.

However, Xue Jinhua knew that the more anxious and irritable she was at the moment, the more difficult it would be to accomplish anything.

So at this critical moment, she must calm herself down as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua took a deep breath and tried to calm her heart. She did not get angry because of the girl's behavior, but began to think calmly about how she should deal with the current situation.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that I will be giving birth soon! Even if you are not very good at talking, you must at least help me find a reliable midwife or doctor. Otherwise, what should I do if I suddenly feel uncomfortable one day? Who can I talk to?" Xue Jinhua gently stroked her bulging belly.

After hearing this, the little girl was stunned at first, and then she shook her head subconsciously, as if to say that she was really powerless and could not make the decision in this matter.

Seeing the little girl's reaction, Xue Jinhua was not angry, but frowned slightly, and continued thoughtfully: "You should know that the city lord is very concerned about the child in my belly. If anything unexpected happens to the child, think about it... Do you think you can still survive?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl's originally rosy face instantly turned as pale as paper, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily. It was obvious that she was frightened by Xue Jinhua's words.

Seeing the little girl like this, Xue Jinhua was secretly delighted in her heart. She knew that what she had just said had successfully entered the other party's ears and made her start to seriously think about the interests involved.

So she sighed softly, slowed down her tone and comforted her: "But as long as you do as I say and find the midwife or the doctor, everything will be fine. Believe me, this will be good for you and everyone." After that, she looked at the little girl with a smile.

She knew very well that there were some words that should never be expressed hastily. If she was too hasty, the consequences would most likely be contrary to her original expectations.

After a moment of silence, she slowly asked, "Well, I know that this matter puts you in a dilemma, so I won't force you to do anything. If you are willing to go and tell me, that would be great; but if you are really unwilling, then let's just leave it at that."

At this moment, Meng Jincheng was preparing to board the carriage and return home.

However, a guard came hurriedly and reported to him exactly what had just happened.

After hearing the guard's story, Meng Jincheng couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the little girl, with a hint of doubt and suspicion in his eyes, and asked, "Did she really say that?"

Faced with Meng Jincheng's questioning, the little girl knew that this matter was of great importance, so she nodded vigorously and gestured with her hands and feet, trying to further explain the situation through various body movements.

Unfortunately, Meng Jincheng was completely confused by the series of gestures she made and could not understand their meaning at all.

Helplessly, he had to turn his attention to the other people around him.

The guard standing nearby saw this and knew exactly how confused their city lord was at the moment.

So he hurriedly stepped forward and answered respectfully: "Lord City Lord, according to what this girl said, these are indeed what Madam Xue said in person. And at that time, Madam Xue's expression seemed very sincere. It seemed that she was really worried about the safety of the fetus in her belly, and it didn't seem like she was pretending!"

Meng Jincheng's originally handsome face was now covered with a layer of haze, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

The guard beside him carefully observed the changes in his expression and knew what his master was thinking.

The guard stepped forward and asked respectfully, "City Lord, now that things have come to this, what should we do next?"

Meng Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "First find a good doctor to take care of him. Remember, except for the child's condition, no other words can be revealed to the outside world!"

He knew that Xue Jinhua was much smarter and more clever than he had imagined. Given her character and methods, she would certainly not give up easily.

However, as long as everyone keeps their mouths shut and does not mention anything that is not related to the child, no matter how capable she is, she will probably be helpless.

After receiving the order, the guard hurriedly clasped his fists and responded: "Yes, I obey your command! I will definitely get this done as soon as possible." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

However, Meng Jincheng thought that his arrangement was watertight and flawless, but he never expected that at this moment, Ling Yan had already learned the news that he had left Nanjiang City.

Ling Yan sat in the study, holding a secret report tightly in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of doubt that was hard to conceal.

Thinking back to the empty-handed experience during the day, he still felt depressed and couldn't let it go for a long time.

Therefore, when he heard Runanji in front of him report the news that Meng Jincheng had left the city, he subconsciously became alert and asked, "Are you really sure that this news is accurate?" After all, he had been tricked by Meng Jincheng before, so he naturally didn't dare to believe it this time.

Runanji nodded confidently and replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this news is absolutely true."

Ling Yan nodded slightly to show his agreement, and slowly said: "At this moment, I am in Nanjiang City, but he actually left the city. If it is not a matter of vital importance, it is really hard to understand why he has to go there in person. So... what is the matter?"

Runanji, who was standing by, was also confused by this. He frowned and thought hard.

At this moment, as if a flash of lightning passed through their minds, both of them had a flash of inspiration almost at the same time, and thought of some key points at the same time.

After they looked at each other, Runanji spoke first, "Your Majesty, could it be that as we thought, the Empress was sent out of the city?"

Ling Yan's face instantly became gloomy and solemn. He bit his lower lip and thought for a moment before responding, "If this is true, it can be explained. But the question is, what is Meng Jincheng's real purpose in doing this?"

Is it for the children?

Ling Yan couldn't help but think of what the Queen Mother had once said to him, and his heart grew heavier.

If Meng Jincheng's target was really the child, then the only reason he wanted to get Xue Jinhua could be because of the poisonous insect in her body.

Could it be...

Ling Yan was about to say something, but before he could utter a word, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door and the guards' respectful voice: "Your Majesty, the city lord is here to see you!"

The city lord actually came straight here upon returning to Nanjiang City? Ling Yan pondered in his heart.

However, since the other party has taken the initiative to visit, there must be something fishy going on. But until the situation becomes clear, the best strategy is to remain calm and not show any emotion.

So he nodded slightly and said calmly, "Please come in."

Not long after, a tall and straight man walked in.

Ling Yan looked up and couldn't help but look it up and down carefully.

I saw that Meng Jincheng's build was similar to mine, both tall and strong; however, his face, most of which was covered by a silver mask, added a sense of mystery and coldness to him.

After Meng Jincheng entered the hall, he bowed to Ling Yan without hesitation and shouted, "Your Highness!" His voice was loud and powerful.

Ling Yan smiled and gestured with his hand, "City Lord Meng, please stop being polite."

When Meng Jincheng stood up, Ling Yan stared at him. Suddenly, a wonderful picture emerged involuntarily in his mind - it was the vague outline of Meng Jincheng under the mask and the true appearance that might be hidden behind it.

Ling Yan couldn't help but ask, "City Lord Meng, I don't know why, but I feel your figure is quite familiar. But you wear this mask all day long... I am really curious, can you take it off and let me see your true face?"

Meng Jincheng was stunned. He probably didn't expect him to say that. He couldn't help but look stern. "I am ugly. I am afraid that it will disturb the emperor."
