Chapter 308 Eye-Catching Red
“My dear, mother will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you. You are the heir of the Shen family and will be the most honorable person in the future…” Ye Ziru gently rocked the child in her arms with an almost morbid smile on her lips.
Nanny Cui and the maids around exchanged worried glances. They knew in their hearts that this concubine might have really lost her mind.
"My dear, mother won't let anyone hurt you..." Ye Ziru hummed a broken tune, her voice revealing deep sadness and loneliness.
She hugged the lifeless child tightly, as if it was the only precious thing she had left.
The whole room was silent. All the servants looked at each other and no one dared to speak.
Aunt Cui mustered up her courage and stepped forward and said, "Aunt, the young master is gone. Please let us bury him properly."
"No." Ye Ziru screamed again: "My child is still alive, you want to kill him, is it Ye Qianyao who ordered you to do this?"
Her eyes seemed to be burning with flames of anger as she stared straight at Aunt Cui, scaring the latter so much that she involuntarily took a step back.
"You bunch of vicious women want to murder my child." Ye Ziru's eyes were wide open and she roared at everyone.
Then, her expression became gentle again, and she continued to gently rock the child in her arms, whispering: "Mother won't let anyone touch you, sleep, my baby, sleep!"
She walked slowly towards the door while humming a song, and the blood on her dress left a striking red trail on the ground.
"Aunt..."
"Madame Cui, what should we do?" The little maid looked at Madame Cui anxiously, her hands clenched tightly together.
Nanny Cui frowned, thinking to herself that something was wrong.
Ye Ziru had just given birth to a stillborn baby, and the overwhelming grief caused her to suffer a mental breakdown.
How should I tell the master such news?
At this time, Ye Ziru had completely lost her mind. She was covered in blood and stumbled across the courtyard. The servants in the mansion all avoided her and only dared to talk about her in a low voice.
The sky was grey, as if it would rain heavily at any moment.
Ye Ziru staggered, holding the baby tightly in her arms, muttering: "Child, mother will take you to find daddy... He will be happy to see you..."
Inside the Baihe Courtyard.
When the news that Ye Ziru had given birth to a stillborn baby reached here, Shen Yuming had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't care at all, as if the lost life had nothing to do with him.
"Master, Madam Ye is coming this way." A servant came hurriedly to report.
"Ah." Jiaojiao covered her big belly in fear, her face pale, "What is she going to do? Is she trying to bring bad luck here again?"
"Master..." Jiaojiao looked at Shen Yuming pitifully with tears in her eyes, "Please make the decision for me, my child is about to be born, and I'm afraid he will be scared."
Shen Yuming's gaze fell on Jiaojiao's bulging belly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
His ruthlessness towards the Ye family was very obvious at this moment.
Especially when he thought of Ye Yunzi, his anger became even more difficult to suppress, and now this anger was transferred to Ye Ziru.
At the gate of Baiheyuan, two strong maids blocked Ye Ziru's way.
"Auntie Ye, please go back. The Master has ordered that no one is allowed to approach here."
The bloodstains on Ye Ziru's clothes were shocking. She raised her head, her pale face full of despair: "I want to see the master. I'm here with the young master."
"Auntie." One of the maids glanced at the baby in the cradle. The child's face was ashen, and it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time. "You can't bring this in. It's not good for anyone."
Ye Ziru struggled to get in: "Get out of my way, I want to see the master."
"Auntie, we are just following orders." When the nanny tried to stop her, her hand accidentally touched the swaddling clothes. Ye Ziru immediately screamed, "Don't touch my child. Do you want to hurt him? He is the eldest young master. How dare you offend him."
Faced with such a crazy situation, the maids were at a loss for a moment.
Jiaojiao, who was in the room, heard the noise outside and couldn't help but hold her chest and breathe rapidly.
Young Master? Humph, only the one in her belly is the real heir.
Ye Ziru actually came here to cause trouble just because of a dead fetus. She is really asking for trouble.
"Master..." Jiaojiao looked at Shen Yuming with pleading eyes, her voice full of helplessness.
Shen Yuming's face was as cold as ice, and he only said a few simple words.
After a while, several burly guards came over and said to Ye Ziru in a cold tone: "Madam Ye, according to the master's order, you will stay in the side yard from today. Please do not move around without special instructions."
"As for your child, the Shen family will properly arrange the funeral." The leading guard gave a wink, and then several people stepped forward and tried to take the child away from Ye Ziru's arms.
"Ah! What do you want to do? Don't take my child away..." Ye Ziru hugged the baby tightly, as if it was the only hope in her life. In her mind, these people were the murderers who wanted to harm the child, and Ye Qianyao must have been behind it.
"No, I want to see the master, I want to see the master." Ye Ziru shouted desperately, but her strength was ultimately no match for those of the strong guards.
Eventually, the child was forcibly taken away and she was thrown to the ground.
"Give the child back to me, don't touch him." She gritted her teeth, dragged her injured body towards the guards, and even hugged their legs to beg, "Give it back to me..."
The guard frowned and said, "Take her away quickly." Only then did Aunt Cui come to her senses and hurried forward to pull Ye Ziru away.
Ye Ziru suddenly swung her arm, and her sharp nails scratched Aunt Cui's cheek, and blood flowed instantly.
"Ah." Aunt Cui covered her face and screamed, "Auntie has gone crazy and hurt people."
At this moment, Ye Ziru's face was full of determination, and no one could stop her from taking back her own flesh and blood.
"Give me back my child." She tried her best to rush forward, because she believed that as long as she had this child, she could change her destiny.
On the roof, a mysterious black shadow watched all this with a complicated look in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared into the night.
……
"Baby, mother won't let anyone hurt you." Ye Ziru was staggering, her consciousness was blurred, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were cracked.
Although there was only an empty swaddling cloth left in her hands, she still regarded it as her most precious treasure and hummed a lullaby gently.
As the cold rain poured down, pedestrians on the street sought shelter from the rain. Only the leaf continued to move forward like a lonely person, gradually going away in the wind and rain.
In the endless rainy night, Ye Ziru finally stopped.
She came to a deserted alley and sat down on the damp and cold ground, exhausted.
