Chapter 383 Listen to my arrangements

Nanny Fang certainly knew why the Second Young Madam had arrested her. Now that she had become a prisoner and Cui Yan had also been exposed, she was afraid that only death was waiting for her!
If she dies, she dies. It’s not a pity for her to die as she is old. She can go down to serve the empress dowager early.

Thinking of this, Nanny Fang calmed down.

"You can kill me or chop me up as you please. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Nanny Fang said disdainfully.

Ye Jiayao smiled and nodded: "So you want to die! But, I like to go against others. If you want to die, I will let you live. I will let you live and see your loved ones die because of you."

Nanny Fang's face changed drastically. Looking at the Second Young Madam's gentle smile, she felt a chill rush to her head and shivered violently.

So vicious!

"I am responsible for my own actions. Everyone says that the Second Young Madam is upright, but no one knew she has such a vicious heart." Nanny Fang was angry.

Ye Jiayao seemed to have heard a huge joke and couldn't help laughing. After a moment, the smile faded and her eyes fixed, emitting a sharp chill.

"You guys are so happy with your schemes and tricks, but now you come to me to talk about being aboveboard. Don't you think it's ridiculous? When dealing with shady villains, I will always fight back with tooth for tooth, and I will never show any mercy."

Nanny Fang's heart trembled, and she felt a chill in her heart. The impression that the Second Young Madam had given her before was that she was a person who always kept her word and never went back on her words. She didn't care what happened to her, but her eldest brother only left him this one son. If he suffered an unexpected disaster because of her, she would die with regrets.

"I, I am also following orders." Nanny Fang's tone softened.

Ye Jiayao sneered, "You're following orders? Nanny Fang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're an old man, why don't you stay at home and enjoy your old age? Instead, you're helping the tyrant. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Nanny Fang weakly defended herself, "That Cuiyan is also a poor person. It was your mansion that bullied her first, and the princess just couldn't stand it."

Ye Jiayao laughed angrily: "Madam Fang, you wouldn't believe such words yourself! There's no need for me to argue with you about who is right or wrong."

The voice changed and said coldly: "Let me tell you one more thing. Nanny Fu is dead."

Nanny Fang was stunned and looked at the Second Young Madam in disbelief. Did the Second Young Madam punish Nanny Fu?
However, the next moment, the words uttered by the Second Young Lady shocked and stunned her even more.

"You were forced to death by the princess. In her eyes, you are nothing but dogs, dogs that can be used at will and killed at will once they are no longer needed." Ye Jiayao said coldly.

After saying that, Ye Jiayao got up and left.

Nanny Fang knelt down and begged in a tearful voice, "Second Young Madam, please let my family go. I swear I will never interfere in the princess' affairs again."

First, her family was controlled, and then there was the lesson of Nanny Fu. Under the double impact, Nanny Fang's loyal heart was shaken.

A barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Jiayao's mouth. This was exactly what she was waiting for.

"Really? But why should I believe you?"

Nanny Fang said, "Cui Yan has fallen into your hands. I failed to complete the mission assigned by the princess. I am no longer of any use to you, and the same is true for you, Second Young Madam. What difference does it make whether you believe it or not? I only ask you not to vent your anger on my family. I will be grateful."

Ye Jiayao sat down again.

"If you want me to forgive you, it's not impossible to forgive your family as well. You just need to answer a few of my questions honestly." Ye Jiayao said slowly.

Nanny Fang's eyes flickered and she was hesitant.

This made Ye Jiayao suspicious. Could there be something unspeakable going on?

Ye Jiayao said seriously, "The first question is, is Cuiyan pregnant? How long has she been pregnant? To know this question, there is actually no need to ask you. Just find a doctor to take a look and it will be clear. Asking you is just to give you a chance."

Nanny Fang struggled for a while and said weakly, "Almost four months."

Ye Jiayao was secretly surprised. Four months?
The Queen Mother passed away three days before her third month, but Cui Yan was already four months pregnant. Could it be that the doctor failed to diagnose the pregnancy because the pregnancy was not long enough? If so, then the child was not conceived during the mourning period. This question is the key to the whole incident. Pregnancy conceived before the mourning period and pregnancy conceived during the mourning period are not treated equally.

The facts remain to be further confirmed.

"The second question is, which doctor did Liuli consult?" Ye Jiayao continued to ask the second question.

Nanny Fang's eyes flickered again, and her voice lowered: "It's Imperial Physician Li who has been expelled from the Imperial Hospital."

"Where is Imperial Physician Li?"

Nanny Fang sighed and thought, forget it, at this point, even if she concealed it, the Second Young Lady would be able to find it out, so she told the Second Young Lady the address of Imperial Physician Li.

Ye Jiayao felt that there was no need to ask any more questions. As long as Cui Yan's pregnancy period was confirmed, Liu Li would not make any more trouble. "I will decide whether to stay or go after I have confirmed what you said." Ye Jiayao said this and turned to leave the secret room.

Cui Yan was locked up again, feeling extremely anxious. She was almost certain that she had fallen into the hands of someone from the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, probably the annoying Second Young Lady.

Whatever you are afraid of will come to you.

The door of the secret room banged open and Ye Jiayao walked in, followed by a doctor.

This scene is so familiar.

More than two months ago, it was this second young lady who brought a doctor to diagnose her and said that she was not pregnant, which made her fail. But now she is indeed pregnant, but she is afraid. Not to mention the child in her belly, even her life is in the hands of others.

Ye Jiayao gave the doctor a wink, and the doctor understood. He took two steps forward, put the medicine box on the table, opened it, and took out a pulse pillow.

Cui Yan was very tactful this time and did not resist or curse. She had experienced the cruelty of the Second Young Madam before, so how could she dare to act arrogantly in front of her?

After a careful diagnosis, the doctor replied: "Judging from the pulse, you should be three to four months pregnant."

"Is it three months or four months?" Ye Jiayao wanted a more precise time.

The doctor said cautiously, "More than three months, no less than three months, closer to four months. We can get the exact date by asking the girl when her last menstrual period came."

Ye Jiayao looked at Cui Yan with a gloomy look.

Cui Yan replied honestly: "Eighteen."

"Is it accurate?"

Cui Yan nodded: "Two or three days earlier every month."

"That's right. Today is the thirteenth. To be exact, this girl is three months and twenty-five days pregnant."

Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen Mother passed away on the Sixteenth. According to Cui Yan's menstrual cycle, she should have had her period on the Sixteenth. So even if Chunli and Cui Yan did something on the nights of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth, there was no way they could have a child. It could only be said that the child was conceived before that.

Ye Jiayao asked Song Qi to take the doctor out.

Before she opened her mouth, Cui Yan said pitifully, "Second Young Madam, please have mercy on me. This child is really the eldest young master's. I don't want anything else. I promise that I will never appear in front of you again. I only ask Second Young Madam to let me keep this child..."

Ye Jiayao said calmly: "What did the Third Young Master's Madam tell you?"

"No... Third Young Madam didn't say anything. She just took me in out of pity for me." Cui Yan said weakly.

Ye Jiayao took a deep breath and said sadly, "At this point, you still dare to lie to me. How can I believe your promise? I'm not afraid to tell you that before I came here, Madam had already told me that the baby in your belly must not be kept. Do you want me to hand you over to Madam for disposal?"

Cui Yan raised her eyes in horror, her face completely pale.

"Now, you are the only one who can save the child. It depends on whether you want to save him or not." Ye Jiayao said in a deep voice.

Cui Yan collapsed to the ground, stayed there for a moment, and then began to cry, saying as she cried:
"The Third Young Madam said that as long as I listen to her, she will not only help me keep the child, but also help me enter the Marquis' Mansion..."

Ye Jiayao was speechless. Once people have greed, desires and hopes, they will easily become confused and be led by the nose.

"Do you really think that the Third Young Madam is so kind? Is her real purpose of taking you in and hiding you to help you?" Ye Jiayao said slowly, with a heavy tone.

"She is using you to deal with the Marquis' Mansion. If you take her words seriously, then the Marquis' Mansion will be in trouble, and neither you nor your child will survive. Do you know what the Third Young Lady announced to the public? She said that the child was conceived during the national mourning period. What kind of crime is this? If you are not an idiot, you should understand."

Cui Yan's sobbing suddenly stopped and she looked terrified.

"Of course, you also hate the Marquis' Mansion, especially me, the eldest young lady. You think that as long as you give birth to a child safely, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely not sit idly by and let the blood flow out. Yes, if it really comes to that, the Marquis' Mansion will not be able to turn a blind eye, but there is one thing you must understand, even if you give birth to a son, you will never be able to enter the Marquis' Mansion in this life."

Cuiyan's lips trembled, and she wanted to ask why. Ye Jiayao had already read her mind and said in a cold voice, "It's because you are smart and calculating. I told you long ago that if you behave yourself and wait until you give birth to the child before taking your time, maybe the Madam will let you go. You cut your own path. Not only did you make a scene during the national mourning period, but the eldest young lady was kind enough to let you go and gave you a lot of resettlement money. But you got involved with the third young lady and refused to give up. How can the Marquis' Mansion tolerate someone like you?"

Cui Yan was in despair and regretted her decision to the very end. One wrong step would lead to all the wrong steps and once missed, it could not be undone.

"You can't enter the Marquis' Mansion, but the child in your belly is the flesh and blood of the Xia family after all. I now have a suggestion. If you are willing to listen to my arrangements, you will not suffer any loss. Do you want to listen?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Cui Yan looked at the Second Young Madam in panic, having already guessed what she was thinking.
