Chapter 309 - 309 Miscarried?
309 Miscarried?
Zhuang Heng turned around and saw the long line of people behind Yang Fen. They were all dressed in jubilant clothes and were even carrying jars of cady. He frowned and said, “This is not my mother. My mother passed away when I was three years old. She…”
“Ah? She’s not your mother?” The candidates at the side widened their eyes. This question caused a huge uproar in the crowd. Everyone looked at Yang Fen in surprise while the people laughed one after another.
The few women beside Yang Fen were anxious. “That’s impossible. Someone came to report the good news just now. It’s our Jiang Si that became the top scorer!”
A few of the candidates laughed and pointed at the board behind them. “The person who reports the good news has already gone to the Zhuang family. The official has also sent a colored flag. How can the top scorer be someone else?”
“Come, tell me the name of your candidate. I’ll help you take a look at the ranking,” an enthusiastic candidate said.
Yang Fen’s heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to open her mouth to stop him, she heard her sister-in-law from her maiden family say quickly, “Jiang Si, he’s called Jiang Si. Look for him, he must be the top scorer! The empress is the sister of Jiang Si, so how could this top scholar not be Jiang Si?”
Whoever knew that the moment these words were said, the other examinees’ faces all stiffened. Zhuang Heng, on the other hand, did not look surprised. He had already remembered Yang Fen’s face from the time she had made a scene on the city wall.
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. I’m dying of laughter. When the son’s head is not as good, so he bumped into the top scholar on the spot. Then, the mother pretended to be the top scholar’s mother. You guys are really… a family!” Some of the candidates laughed so hard that they were in tears.
“Everyone, everyone, this is the mother of the candidate who knocked into the top scorer!” Someone pointed at Yang Fen and said loudly, not hiding his contempt at all.
Everyone was stunned, “Oh my God, how can there be such a person? I’ve really learned a lot today.”
“I knew it. This person looks unrefined. How could he cultivate a talent like the top scholar? She’s actually an imposter, and she’s the mother of the person who bumped into the top scholar? What a wonder of the world!” The onlookers were dumbfounded.
More and more people gathered around, and the crowd grew tighter.
“I know her. She’s from the Jiang family. She came from the countryside and refused to return to the village with her husband. She lived alone in the Jiang residence for more than half a year. She was also the one who set off the firecrackers and the banquet just now.” Someone pointed at Yang Fen and said.
Yang Fen’s heart trembled. She felt a hot stream in her crotch. Fortunately, it was covered by the long skirt, so others could not see anything.
“The mother is not a good person, so her son is not good either. Madam Yang, you should quickly go to the streets and carry your son back. Don’t let his blood run dry and die,” someone mocked coldly.
The sound of ridicule was heard all around, and the woman’s heart was trembling.
“Hey, Yang Fen, how can you make such a big mistake? Didn’t you say that Jiang Si would definitely be the top scholar? How could such an embarrassing thing happen? Let’s go to Jiang Si and ask him what happened. It’s so embarrassing.” Yang Shaoqun’s wife’s face was black. She pulled Yang Fen and was about to leave. Seeing that Yang Fen did not move, she pulled her hard. This pull directly made Yang Fen stagger. Yang Fen, who was cold all over, fell directly to the ground. There was a pool of bright red blood where she had just stood.
Everyone looked at the bloodstain and saw that it was actually flowing from Yang Fen’s leg… Yang Fen clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, her face pale.
“What’s going on? What’s going on?” Yang Shaoqun’s wife was shocked and quickly went to help Yang Fen, but she did not expect the blood to flow out more and more like a tap.
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and a few examinees’ faces were pale, thinking that they had caused trouble.
The old midwife, who had eaten at the banquet before, said with a sullen face, “She miscarried! Her husband had left Jing City for more than half a year, but she actually miscarried!” Her tone was powerful and convincing.
Yang Shaoqun’s wife smacked her lips, and the hand holding Yang Fen instantly loosened, causing Yang Fen to cry out. This time, the crowd was even more shocked.
“Miscarriage? Her husband wasn’t even in Jing City. He had been away for half a year, and she’s having a a miscarriage? This… Isn’t this dishonorable?” The crowd began to criticize her.
Yang Fen was paralyzed on the ground. Her face was ashen as she looked at the blood under her in a daze.
