“Why should I keep quiet? What I said was the truth. Wouldn’t you already have had a son if it wasn’t for her?”

Liang Xiuqin couldn’t control herself from saying these hateful words. After all, she just can’t let go of all the grievances she’s suffered during these past years.

If it hadn’t been for Yun Xi, she would have had a son. And Yun Yuanfeng wouldn’t be giving her the cold shoulder because she couldn’t bear him a son.

“Talking about your son, for all these years you’ve always felt that I caused your miscarriage because of something a fortune-teller said. You blamed it all on me, but you never bothered to find out the real reason. Second Aunt said that during the apricot season in May when you were pregnant with your second child you wanted to eat something sour, and you got my father to buy some apricots for you, am I right?”

Liang Xiuqin did not expect Yun Xi to bring this up. She was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Yun Yuanfeng. Although it was a long time ago, she still remembered it clearly.

At that time, the fortune-teller had said that their second baby would be a boy. So Yun Yuanfeng had paid attention to her and done everything she wanted. It was probably the happiest time of her life.

Yun Yuanfeng hadn’t been that caring when she gave birth to Yun Xi.

“You probably didn’t know that apricots can trigger a miscarriage. The strong acidity of apricots will increase the production of stomach acid, causing gastric problems. Moreover, in traditional Chinese medicine, it is known that some of apricots’ components can stimulate the uterine muscles and cause them to contract. Thus, eating too many apricots might lead to a miscarriage. It was your mistake, but you blamed it on me all these years because of some nonsense you heard from a fortune-teller. Isn’t that really unfair to me?”

“You…that’s impossible! What do you know? It was clearly your fault.”

Yun Xi shrugged. Unconcerned and indifferent, she said, “I am a medical student now, and this is basic knowledge. If you don’t believe me, you can check with a gynecologist tomorrow, and they will tell you the same thing.”

Yun Xi stood up from the sofa after a while and continued speaking, “I can tell you about Yun Ziling’s congenital heart disease too. Previously, you made a scene at Aunt’s house with her, and she was sent to the hospital with a heart attack. I got the hospital director to check her genetics and medical history. I also asked Second Aunt about the period when you were pregnant with Yun Ziling. It’s all because of you that she was born with heart problems. When you were pregnant with Yun Ziling, you were constantly ill due to your weak body condition that had persisted from the miscarriage. The medications you took cause pathological changes in the amniotic sac and heart defects in fetuses during pregnancy. It’s all right if you think what I said was too technical to understand. You can check with a cardiologist when you happen to be at a hospital, and everything should be clear.”

As soon as Yun Xi stopped speaking, both Liang Xiuqin and Yun Yuanfeng’s faces took on somber, dark expressions.

Liang Xiuqin couldn’t accept what Yun Xi had said, even though what she had said was in line with the situation she’d been in back then. Also, Yao Ying had been the one who’d told Yun Xi what exactly had happened. However, Liang Xiuqin was never going to believe that she had caused her own miscarriage. She also couldn’t believe that Yun Ziling had had to suffer so much because of her negligence.

“This is impossible. It’s nonsense. You are just a young girl. What do you know? Please shut up!”

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. Looking at the attitude of strong denial that was coming from Liang Xiuqin, she had probably taken what Yun Xi had said to heart.

That was good. No matter whether Liang Xiuqin believed it or not, the guilt would follow and torture her for the rest of her life.

Yun Xi had suffered so much for something she hadn’t even done all these years, and she wasn’t about to let the person who’d hurt her go on living without any guilt or reflections.

Liang Xiuqin should bear and pay for her own mistakes.

“Oh, yes, didn’t you want me to talk to Second Master Jiang about a better future for Yun Ziling? I can do that for you. But don’t blame me if no one wants to be involved due to Yun Ziling’s congenital heart disease.”

Putting down her cup, Yun Xi glanced at the housekeeper, who had packed a box of pastries for her. “Let me know after you all have decided. I have classes tonight, so I won’t be having dinner at home.”

Before they could answer her, Yun Xi took the box of pastries from the housekeeper, thanked her for thinking of her, and left the living room.
