Chapter 198: Mental arithmetic but no intention
The truth is much more than that.
The reason why her father died so quickly was also caused by the Cui family. Even the deadly chronic poison was fed to her father by her own hands over the years.
And the guards used by the Cui family to massacre the City Lord's Mansion and control her were all formed according to the way she had selected and trained them.
It was she who personally handed the Cui family the opportunity to take action.
Originally, the Cui family had no intention of taking a concubine and having children before they succeeded. That was because the Cui family had always had a bad reputation.
Cui Hao was not the kind of person who cared too much about beauty.
After so many years of planning and forbearance, how could it be ruined by just one or two women?
However, even with all the planning and calculations, there are always some uncontrollable factors.
Chunying is this uncontrollable factor.
Due to some uncontrollable reasons, Chunying came to his side.
Chunying is a restless woman. She appears to be honest and obedient in front of others, but behind others' backs she is a woman with high aspirations.
Her stupidity became a help to Cui Hao.
After Chunying became pregnant, Cui Hao tacitly approved of all the provocations she made against Liu Hongling in the mansion.
In the end, Liu Hongling couldn't stand this chaotic life anymore and fled to the City Lord's Mansion.
The few months that Liu Hongling was away gave Cui Hao enough time to make arrangements.
As for Chunying's difficult birth, that was also directed by Cui Hao.
The thief who broke into the mansion to steal was Cui Hao's men, and Chunying was frightened, really, really frightened.
Cui Hao only wanted a child who was related to him by blood but not to the Liu family. Chunying's child was legitimate.
As for what happened to the child's mother, he really didn't care.
As for the midwives who were invited, they all apparently took the reward money and left the house.
But after a period of time, those midwives would die for one reason or another.
After knowing the truth, Liu Hongling suffered a mental breakdown.
If she hadn't found her younger brother who had disappeared and Cui Hao claimed was seriously ill, she might have gone completely crazy.
''Cough cough cough cough...''
A violent cough interrupted Liu Hongling's narration.
"Sister Hong Ling, how are you?" Shan Li didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements, for fear of causing her secondary harm.
But Liu Hongling looked really bad.
There was an air of death in her body and face.
Those who have lived on the battlefield for many years are very familiar with this kind of deathly atmosphere.
He wanted to get up and tell the people outside to call the doctor from Fengxue Tower.
Although not as famous as Xiao Wenye, the doctor who could be kept in Fengxue Tower was no ordinary person, even if it was just a branch building in Beishui City.
"I'm fine. Ahem..." Liu Hongling raised her hand to stop Shan Li from leaving to find a doctor for her. "It's useless. I know my own body."
"It will be fine after a while. Cough cough cough cough cough..." He then started coughing violently again.
Shan Li didn't force it, just waited quietly.
At this moment, his mind was also full of thoughts.
Unexpectedly, the Silver-Armored General who was so high-spirited on the battlefield back then would be in this state now.
He also didn't expect that the Cui family and Cui Hao would have been planning and scheming for ten years just to replace the Liu family.
Can you say that the Liu family was careless?
He calculated it intentionally or not, and basically his calculations were always accurate. If there were someone in the general's mansion who had been planning and calculating for such a long time, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to discover it.
