“Let’s just watch quietly. When has she ever let us down?”

Different from Xiao Yixin, who was flustered by over-concern, Baili Rui knew Lin Mengya’s character better and was certain that she would not allow herself to be bullied without fighting back.

Although Xiao Yixin didn’t know why Mr. Baili trusted Lin Mengya so much, in the current situation, Xiao Yixin could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart for the time being and join Baili Rui and the others in acting as silent onlookers.

…

The people blamed Lin Mengya in an increasingly loud voice and gradually did not care about hiding their true feelings, while Lin Mengya’s eye gradually became cold.

If she was a soft-hearted person, she should be flustered and helpless now.

However, no one expected that Lin Mengya would just look at them quietly with an inexplicable sneer.

If Long Tianyu was here, he would definitely find it familiar.

Probably because they had spent a long time together, Lin Mengya had been able to do a great job in imitating Long Tianyu’s expressions.

The atmosphere became more and more intense.

However, most people still fixed their eyes on Madam Xiao.

The panic-stricken and helpless woman did not get the sympathy she deserved. Instead, she ignited those people’s rage.

She didn’t know who reached out first, but she only saw a pair of brawny hands reach out for the baby she held tightly in her arms.

The pair of hands dragged the floral blanket, in which the baby was wrapped up, hard, but because Madam Xiao held the baby tightly, the owner of the hands failed to do that.

But this kind of behavior was imitated by many people in an instant like an infectious disease spreading among them.

Those around her all reached out their hands.

However, they did not mean to help her appease her frightened baby by reaching out their hands. Instead, they meant to snatch the baby from her by force.

Madam Xiao held her baby in horror, but her protection made those people even crazier.

Pushed by people surrounding her, no matter how hard Madam Xiao tried, more and more people reached out to grab the baby.

Madam Xiao’s tears become the most tragic sign of this inhuman seesaw battle.

No one knew what Lin Mengya was thinking about. She didn’t stop it, but just sat on the stone silently and watched the panic-stricken and helpless Madam Xiao.

“Aren’t you going to save her? After all, the baby is innocent.”

Raising her head, Madam Wu suddenly looked at Lin Mengya in confusion and asked.

Her tears seemed to have just gathered in her eyes. However, Madam Wu’s calmness and composure surprised Lin Mengya a little.

“Everyone has her fate. I can only cure diseases, but I can’t save her life.”

Lin Mengya returned to herself and said indifferently.

A trace of surprise flashed across Madam Wu’s eyes.

However, Madam Wu immediately hid it. Lin Mengya pretended not to see it, looked away, and lowered her eyes.

It was time for this farce to reach its climax, wasn’t it?

It was a newborn innocent baby wrapped up in the small red quilt embroidered with peony patterns.

But at this moment, the baby in his small swaddling clothes was lifted high by someone above her head.

Madam Xiao cried so hard that she was out of breath, but she still struggled to get her baby back.

However, the person holding the baby high did not show any pity for the poor mother at all.

As the baby wrapped up in the floral quilt was thrown on the ground, Madam Xiao passed out in an instant after letting out a shrill cry.

A pool of red liquid, looking like blood, instantly flowed out of the small floral quilt and formed a brilliant red line.

Those who had fiercely pushed and blamed Madam Xiao just now quieted down in an instant at the sight of the scarlet liquid.

Everyone was at a loss in an instant, shocked by the unexpected situation.

They looked at each other and finally fell silent tacitly.

Lin Mengya sneered silently in her heart. No one had expected that the climax of this almost cruel farce would be so silent and weird.

“This… this is…”

It was obvious that the person, who threw the small floral quilt on the ground, did such a drastic thing in a momentary burst of anger.

Lin Mengya looked towards her, a woman who usually was neither talkative nor sociable.

At this moment, she was rubbing her hands guiltily, but the obvious regret on her face seemed to be faked.

“Now, are you satisfied?”

Lin Mengya got up and questioned lightly, but it was enough to break down those people.

She gently walked to the small floral quilt stained with blood and reached out to show the thing wrapped up in the quilt to everyone.

It was a wax gourd smashed into pieces instead of a baby, whose face was covered with blood, in their imagination.

The wax gourd was exactly as big as a baby.

The scarlet blood was a little trick Lin Mengya played. She had instructed someone to stuff it in the wax gourd in advance.

Seeing that it turned out to be a wax gourd, everyone seemed to be relieved.

“You keep telling me that children are innocent. What about Madam Xiao’s child? Could it be that her child deserves to be killed?”

Although the baby was fine, everything that had happened just now was real.

If Lin Mengya hadn’t prepared in advance, it would have been the baby’s head that was broken at the moment.

“We didn’t mean it… Madam Xiao intended to escape, so we…”

Their excuse became unconvincing. Lin Mengya glanced at the group of people, who still tried to argue irrationally, with her cold eyes.

“Escape? What has she done? Do you have any valid evidence? A country has its laws and a family has its rules. Which law on earth has she broken? Even the government didn’t punish her. What makes you think that you can say that she is guilty?”

Lin Mengya looked around. After the indignation, everyone seemed to have calmed down a little.

Therefore, her blame struck everyone’s heart.

“But someone saw with her own eyes that she hurt Madam Wu. Your Highness, you can’t harbor her like this!”

Lin Mengya glanced at the woman with her cold eyes, and her sneer became more and more chilling.

“Someone saw it with her own eyes? Well, I’d like to ask if she saw it with her own eyes that Madam Xiao pricked the silver needles in Madam Wu’s head? Since she saw it with her own eyes, why didn’t she stop Madam Xiao at that time? Instead, it was until now that she incited you in an affected way to kill a baby!”

Lin Mengya’s questions made those people’s arguments invalid and ridiculous.

Madam Wu suddenly got up from the ground with disappointment and grief in her watery eyes.

“In that case, Your Highness, you are not going to punish the culprit severely, are you? Well, I’m not afraid of death. Your Highness, please give my baby back to me so that my son and I can be companions on the way to death!”

Madam Wu said in a choked voice, and every word was heart-wrenching.

She seemed to imply that Lin Mengya really intended to hound them to death.

But Lin Mengya, with a faint smile, looked at the unusually grieved and indignant Madam Wu with her perceptive eyes.

“There is a saying that even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. You are quite devoted. You not only court death but also want your baby to die with you. However, I have never said that I will not severely punish the culprit. Just as you said, I will not let go of the culprit.”

Lin Mengya’s words stunned everyone.

Madam Wu insisted that Madam Xiao was the culprit. What was more, Madam Xiao attempted to rush out of the camp with her baby in her arms, which became the evidence.

But it seemed that Lin Mengya didn’t mean to punish Madam Xiao. Was there something else behind it?

When Madam Wu heard that, a trace of fear flashed across her eyes.

Nevertheless, when she heard that Lin Mengya was going to severely punish the culprit, she couldn’t help showing a little complacency.

However, it didn’t last long. Lin Mengya’s words stunned her on the spot.

“Madam Wu, you tried to set up Madam Xiao and pretend to be the real Madam Wu in an attempt to deceive and confuse the public. Do you admit what you have done?”

Her words created a real buzz among the crowd in an instant.

Madam Wu looked at Lin Mengya in astonishment, as if she had said something outrageous.

“Your Highness, even if you want to get Madam Xiao off the hook, you shouldn’t slander me like that! Besides, you brought us here. I’m the real Madam Wu. Please don’t talk nonsense!”

Madam Wu said in rage and looked at Lin Mengya with vigilance and disdain in her eyes.

However, Lin Mengya did not get exasperated because of her denial.

Instead, she crouched down, patted Madam Xiao’s face, and said.

“Sister Xiao, get up.”

Hearing her soft voice, Madam Xiao woke up slowly.

However, she obviously shrank when she saw Lin Mengya with her eyes, which had turned red from crying.

Then she seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lin Mengya with embarrassment.

“Sister Mengya, I…”

Lin Mengya smiled at her gently. Finally, she rubbed the acupuncture points on the top of her head and helped her, who was weak and limp, up.

“You did a good job. Even I was almost convinced. Nevertheless, I’m really sorry for asking you to take the wax gourd as your baby.”

Lin Mengya comforted Madam Xiao in a soft voice. She had spent a long time talking it over with Madam Xiao about what happened today.

She didn’t expect that, perhaps because of anxiety, Madam Xiao really regarded the wax gourd as her baby.

The heart-wrenching pain could not be faked.

Meanwhile, the onlookers were all confused. What was going on?

“You said you are Madam Wu, the mother of the baby. However, when you were in danger, you have never protected your baby.”

Lin Mengya turned around and stared coldly at the woman in front of her.

In fact, since the day Madam Wu went crazy, she had sensed that Madam Wu and her baby were weird.

“When you went crazy, you almost smashed the baby. I ask you, is it true?”
