Chapter 118: I Really Didn't Mean to Kill Her

Xiao Wancheng pulled the little cousin over first: "Don't be afraid. When the uncle from the Security Department asks you questions later, tell him exactly what you saw, word for word. Only then can we bring the bad guys to justice, understand?"

The ten-year-old child was already sensible, his eyes full of tears: "Mm, I'll listen to my big cousin."

Soon, apart from Xiao Changjiang who stayed behind to handle the aftermath, everyone else was taken to the Security Department.

The matter was quickly clarified. Because Xiao Nianchun had damaged her health during this childbirth, Miao Yiqiu, who had been a nurse, instructed her that she must complete the full forty-two days of confinement.

For the sake of her own body, Xiao Nianchun was obedient. As soon as she finished her confinement, she wanted to take a good bath. No one expected the eldest sister-in-law to take the opportunity to enter their room and lay hands on a child in swaddling clothes.

The Security Department arrived at the Qiu family home very quickly. They shouted through the door: "Wu Tianxiang, get ready and come with us to the Security Department."

Wu Tianxiang was now terrified: "I am still in confinement; I cannot be exposed to the wind."

Someone with a bad temper retorted directly: "If you can't be exposed to the wind, how dare you go harm someone? Stop pretending for God's sake and get out here immediately."

Wu Tianxiang was now extremely panicked. She hadn't intended to kill the person directly; she had just thought that if she became sickly, she certainly wouldn't eat much, so her own son could sneak a few mouthfuls of milk. Who knew that girl would turn out to be short-lived?

Hearing no movement inside, the Security Department personnel lost patience and were about to find a few women from the staff compound to force their way in and arrest her. Unexpectedly, Qiu Fengtian rushed in: "I'll go, I'll go. I'll go in and bring her out right now."

He knew this matter could not be easily settled, nor could it be evaded. Dragging it out any longer would be even more disadvantageous to them: "Tianxiang, open the door. Just go to the Security Department and explain things clearly. No one can frame you."

Wu Tianxiang heard the subtext in her husband's words. She knew that if she didn't do as he said, she would likely get beaten later. Trembling, she got out of bed, built up her resolve for a long time, and finally opened the door: "Fengtian, I didn't. I didn't do anything."

Qiu Fengtian stepped forward, secretly tightening his grip on his wife's arm: "If you didn't do it, then don't admit it. Just explain yourself well to them. No one can force you to confess, understand?"

His son absolutely could not have a mother who was a murderer.

Wu Tianxiang saw the threat in the man's eyes. She shivered directly. She knew too well what that look meant: "I, I, I understand."

However, they underestimated the methods of the Security Department. Wu Tianxiang did want to deny it, but after repeated interrogations, she simply could not endure it any longer and finally confessed: "I really didn't intend to kill her. I just wanted to make her sickly and weak so that my sister-in-law's milk could be saved to feed my little Bao.

Also, the milk powder sent by my sister-in-law's natal family could be shared out a bit for little Bao. Please let me go. My little Bao really cannot be without a mother."

The awakened Xiao Nianchun, disregarding her own body, ran from the Staff Hospital to the Security Department. She happened to hear these words outside: "Wu Tianxiang, give me back Duo'er, you conscienceless thing!"

Two Security Department personnel simply could not hold her back. Xiao Nianchun rushed in and beat Wu Tianxiang up.

The Security Department personnel also disliked Wu Tianxiang, so they didn't hold her back afterwards, only stepping forward to control the frenzied Xiao Nianchun after Wu Tianxiang started bleeding.

Outside the Security Department, Qiu Fengtian was holding his younger brother Qiu Jinzhou: "Second brother, your sister-in-law was truly blinded by lard, but your nephew is not even a month old and really cannot be without a mother. Just for the sake of Father and me, please persuade your wife to spare her this once, okay?"
