Chapter 158 Your Choice
Nakata immediately understood the reason for His Majesty's madness. His Majesty had always respected the Empress Dowager. Now that the Empress Dowager was pregnant, it was not only a slap in His Majesty's face, but more importantly, His Majesty's originally rock-solid throne was no longer secure.
It's obvious whose child the Empress Dowager is carrying. His Majesty's hatred for Prime Minister Jiang must be at its peak right now. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhongtian handed over the evidence he had collected in Yulin to His Majesty.
When His Majesty received the evidence, he did not say a word and casually placed it in the box next to him.
Nakata glanced at it; the box was filled with many things, almost overflowing!
Zhongtian wanted to see Xia Jin'an in the palace, but Master Li told him that Xia Jin'an had been sent out of the palace on business!
"Where did you go?"
"The Music Bureau!"
Zhongtian's heart tightened, and an uneasy feeling filled her heart. Had something happened to Yue Xingxi if she went to the Yuefu?
Since their last parting, Zhongtian has never received any news from Lexingxi again; it's as if Lexingxi has completely disappeared from Zhongtian's world.
Zhongtian knocked on General Yue's door time and time again, only to be turned away each time. But today, the door to the Yue Mansion opened!
When Nakata was ushered in by the servants, he looked at everything before him with extreme confusion.
Yu Yijin knelt on the ground with a sorrowful expression. His eyes were red and swollen from crying. He held a child in his arms. The child was only five years old and could not speak, but stared fiercely at General Le. He had a violent aura about him.
General Yue also held a young child in his arms. The child's eyes were closed, and he seemed to be asleep, but his pale face indicated that the situation was not good.
Is this Zhou Xiaodi's daughter?
Xia Jin'an stood to the side, carefully examining the child.
Le Xingxi stood to the side, his face pale. When he was thin, he could be blown over by a gust of wind. He lowered his eyes and ignored Zhong Tian's gaze.
Nakata had absolutely no idea what was going on!
Holding her child, Yu Yijin cried to General Yue, "General, General... the child is still young, she didn't mean it!"
General Yue looked at Yu Yijin with an icy expression: "She is no longer a child! If she can put poison in her own sister's food, I can no longer treat her as a child."
Looking at the child in her arms, Yu Yijin felt a surge of pain in her heart.
He saw the plight of his child: a child abandoned by the general, a child who could no longer speak. How could he survive in the general's mansion?
Perhaps someone with ulterior motives added fuel to the fire, or perhaps it was just that he couldn't get over it himself.
The child stole the rat poison prepared for poisoning rats from the servants' bedroom and secretly put it in his younger sister's bowl, who was still unable to speak.
Xia Jin'an had finished her diagnosis and spoke to General Le.
"General Yue, the young lady is not in immediate danger. She is very lucky. She felt the taste was wrong when she put it in her mouth and spat it out. I will prepare some medicine and feed it to her. If she can wake up tonight, she will be fine."
General Yue nodded gratefully to Xia Jin'an! Xia Jin'an's gaze, however, fell on Yu Yijin, who was kneeling on the ground in a rather disheveled state.
General Yue said to Yu Yijin, "Yijin, this child was born with her mother's despicable character; she can't learn anything good."
“Yu Yijin, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you can be ruthless enough to kick this child out, I can pretend nothing happened.”
Yu Yijin immediately raised his head, looking at General Le with disbelief, and said, "General, do you want a father to abandon his daughter? Even if she has done many wrong things, she is still the daughter I carried for ten months and gave birth to! I can't do it!"
General Yue remained extremely indifferent and unmoved, only asking with some disappointment, "Is your choice to leave the General's Mansion with your daughter?"
Yu Yijin hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind: "Yes, General, I will leave with my daughter!"
It was his fault. If he hadn't been blinded by greed and made his own daughter mute, she wouldn't have developed such a personality.
General Yue sighed, waved his hand at the steward, and said, "Yijin, once you've made your move, there's no going back. Since you've chosen your path, there's no turning back!"
General Yue brought paper and pen and wrote down the letter of divorce. Yu Yijin took it with trembling hands. This letter of divorce severed nearly five years of marital affection.
General Yue was not an indecisive person; on the contrary, she was very resolute. The first time Yu Yijin gave up Xia Wen for him, she forgave him.
The second time, Yu Yijin abandoned him again for the sake of their child. He never forgave her again.
Therefore, when Yu Yijin walked out of the general's mansion with her daughter's little hand, she did not see General Le.
She was seen off by Le Congxi, Zhong Tian, and Xia Jin'an.
Yu Yijin was quite surprised by Xia Jin'an's arrival and said, "Xia Jin'an, if you came here today to see me in my current predicament, to laugh at me, and to kick me when I'm down, then I guess that won't work, because I will not hesitate to fight back!"
They've been fighting for so long, it's impossible for them to let bygones be bygones now.
Xia Jin'an sneered: "Even if you apologize, I won't accept it. The damage has already been done, and a flimsy apology can't make up for it. But I know you won't apologize!"
Yu Yijin smiled and said, "Why should I apologize? What have I done wrong in my life?"
Yu Yijin thought for a moment and said, "No, I still made a mistake! The only mistake I made was that when I first met Xia Wen and she reached out to me, I should have turned around and left instead of falling deeply in love with her. One wrong step leads to another, and then would I have lived a different life!"
Zhongtian also felt somewhat emotional.
Yu Yijin had a wrong start, which destined him to have a wrong ending!
After Yu Yijin left, Le Xingxi had a bad feeling: "Steward, go and keep an eye on Yu Yijin until he safely returns to Magistrate Yu's house."
"Yes!"
A moment later, the steward appeared in a hurry, her forehead slightly sweaty. But she didn't have time to wipe the sweat from her brow. She just said in a panic, "Something terrible has happened! Lord Le jumped off a cliff with his young mistress in his arms!"
Yu Yijin jumped off the cliff without saying goodbye to the world. No one knows what he was thinking at the moment he jumped.
Zhongtian was eager to go over and see, but Le Xingxi's words made her stop in her tracks!
“Madam Zhong, someone will collect Yu Yijin’s remains. You stay here, let’s have a chat!”
