The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 534 No matter who you are, show no mercy

The one who barged in was none other than the instigator, Madam Wen.

Upon seeing her, Lang Caining scooped up her sleeping daughter in her arms like a mother beast protecting her cub. Her eyes were filled with lingering fear, an inviolable vigilance, and resentment as she looked at Madam Wen.

It was her who almost caused her and her daughter to be separated, never to see each other again!
When Madam Wen saw that look in her eyes, her heart skipped a beat. She was somewhat annoyed, and even more guilty. Her face showed embarrassment and regret. She asked in a low voice, "Yu'er's mother, how is Xue Duo'er? Is she alright? Let Grandmother take a look..."

"Get out!" Lang Caining's eyes burned with rage. Her voice was lowered so as not to frighten her sleeping daughter, but it carried an unprecedented coldness and determination as she coldly said, "You have no right to see her! You are her grandmother, yet you forcibly brought her here while I was away, causing her to suffer this terrible ordeal. It's only because my son was lucky enough to meet a benefactor and escape this calamity. Otherwise, if Xue Duo'er had suffered even the slightest harm today, I would never be finished with you, Wen Yue, or the Lu family!"

Madam Wen, embarrassed and aggrieved by her daughter-in-law's harsh words, immediately lost face. She protested, "I... I was only doing this for your eldest sister. You know how good Yue'er was to you before. She was one of the Four Beauties of Wujing, but now she's become like this, insane. My heart is breaking. I was thinking... I was thinking that maybe if she had a child by her side, she would get better. How could I have known she would suddenly... Xue Duo is my own granddaughter, would I, as her grandmother, really harm her?"

"You still dare to argue?" Lang Caining trembled with anger. "She has lost her own flesh and blood and is already mentally unstable. How dare you risk my child? Your daughter is your precious child, but isn't mine too?! Xue Duo'er is only three months old. She almost died... Waaah."

She became more and more agitated and fearful as she spoke, and tears streamed down her face.

Madam Wen was speechless, her face turning red and white in turns. She could only look at Lang Jiuchuan beside her and stepped forward reluctantly, saying, "I am so grateful to my sister-in-law for being here today. Thank you for your help. Otherwise, Yue'er would have made a big mistake, and our Xueduo'er would not have been hurt."

Lang Jiuchuan glanced at her indifferently, his voice not loud, but like a cold needle piercing Madam Wen's eardrums: "Madam Wen's love for her daughter is truly 'touching,' but your maternal love is far too selfish and cruel, and cannot be condoned. Using someone else's flesh and blood as medicine to treat your daughter, how do you know that this medicine might turn into poison? For example, right now, she is out of her mind, confused, and made the move of throwing the child. Even if she did this because she was insane, if she were sober and thought about what happened today, how would you expect her to feel? How would she face her brother, sister-in-law, and niece afterward? What do you mean she didn't commit a major mistake? She was wrong to do this, and her mistake was made by your own hands."

"If I hadn't happened to be here today, the Lu family would have suffered another infant death, a shocking tragedy caused by human intervention. At that time, would you be willing to take the blame for your daughter, or would you think it's worth sacrificing an innocent life for a moment of clarity for your daughter? Or would the loss of a mere granddaughter be less significant than the loss of even a single hair on your daughter's head? And your son would not dare to harbor any resentment towards you?"

Lang Jiuchuan's words were extremely scathing and showed no mercy!
Madam Wen's chest heaved violently from the rebuke, and her face turned bright red. She wanted to retort, but at her age, she had never been criticized by a junior to the point of wanting to disappear into the ground.

But when she met Lang Jiuchuan's cold eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, and considering her current status and methods, and knowing that she herself was indeed guilty and had no reason to stand up, she had to forcefully suppress her anger, grit her teeth and sulk, and look at Lang Caining with resentment.

You let your sister from your own family humiliate your mother-in-law like this?

Lang Caining didn't care if she died; the way she looked at her was more like it was coated with poison.

Madam Wen was somewhat embarrassed and dared not provoke her, so she could only awkwardly say, "It's good that Xue Duo is alright now. She has a benefactor to help her, she's lucky."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Lang Jiuchuan said, "Your daughter would have gotten better anyway. When Third Sister went back to her parents' home, she was planning to ask me to examine her. Now, ha!" Madam Wen froze, turned her head, and looked at Lang Caining and then at Lang Jiuchuan with complicated eyes.

"Get out!" Lang Caining glared at her.

Madam Wen, not daring to add fuel to the fire, reluctantly withdrew. Lang Caining, holding the child, plopped down on the couch, gently patting the swaddling clothes with one hand. Watching her daughter's face turn rosy and her breathing become long and even, she felt deeply grateful for this serene appearance.

After this commotion, Lang Caining's sympathy for her sister-in-law Wen Yue dissipated by more than half, leaving only anger and lingering fear. She didn't want Lang Jiuchuan to treat the person who had almost killed her daughter, but thinking of the past and how the once gentle and magnanimous woman had become a madwoman, and smelling the milky scent emanating from her daughter, she finally softened. After all, it was a human life, and if things continued like this, it would eventually become a disaster.

She sighed and turned to Lang Jiuchuan, saying, "Ninth Sister, if... if it's still convenient and you're willing, please go and see her. We can't just watch her go crazy like this. We're both women and mothers, I understand her pain, especially now."

She had just fully experienced the extreme pain of almost losing her daughter.

Lang Jiuchuan glanced at her and nodded. She already had some doubts about the stillborn infant with the noble destiny of a phoenix, and now was the perfect opportunity to investigate.

Lang Caining had the nanny sent by Madam Fan personally hold her daughter, and also ordered her head maid to guard her closely. As for the wet nurses, she would deal with them when they returned. She then followed them.

Wen Yue curled up in the corner of the bed, her eyes vacant, unwilling to let the doctor approach. Compared to her earlier madness, she now seemed more like a soulless shell, cold and heartless, muttering something repeatedly.

Madam Lu, watching from the side, said a few more words in anger. Madam Wen, protective of her daughter, couldn't help but argue with her.

Lang Jiuchuan was extremely annoyed and said with a dark face, "All irrelevant people, get out."

Lang Caining then said, "I'm only letting my sister see a doctor because of our past relationship and as a mother, but that doesn't mean I forgive Wen Yue. You two can continue arguing. I'll just take my sister back to the manor to save trouble!"

Upon learning that Lang Jiuchuan was willing to treat Wen Yue, everyone felt ashamed and embarrassed, and pushed each other out.

The room fell silent. Wen Yue's maid brought a stool to the bedside. Lang Jiuchuan looked at Wen Yue and said, "Come here, I'll find you a daughter."

Wen Yue stopped talking, stiffly turned her head, and seemed to have a new sparkle in her eyes.
