Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

Madam Zheng as Lihua even in his drunken stupor.

However, he had indeed woken up in Madam Zheng’s bed the following day, and there were bloodstains on the bedding too.

Shellshocked, he immediately sent Madam Zheng away.

Actually, at the time, he had intended to kill Madam Zheng.

This was because he had made a mistake and cheated on Lihua, and he did not want this incident to create a rift between them.

Since Lihua had accepted and treated the helpless Madam Zheng like a true younger sister out of sympathy, he had to discard the notion.

He had already made one mistake.
If he committed another one, it would be even more difficult to get Lihua to forgive him.
As such, he could only send Madam Zheng away.

He never expected that Madam Zheng would come back ten months later, cradling a baby in her arms.

However, he had no memory of what had transpired that night.
He could only vaguely recall stumbling across Madam Zheng on the way to Fragrant Blooms Court, but what happened after was a mystery to him.

“I don’t remember either,” he said dejectedly in response to his mother’s accusatorial question.

The Dowager Duchess frowned.
“Nothing at all?”

“Nothing.” Lu Hetian paused.
“But when I woke up that morning, I was indeed in Madam Zheng’s room, and there were bloodstains on the bedding…”

The Dowager Duchess massaged the spot between her brows.
“A virgin’s blood could be faked, but Madam Zheng had also taken your underwear.
Lihua had sewn that underwear for you herself; how could you let it fall into the hands of another woman? Even if there were nothing between you and her, no explanation could clear your name.
That was why when Madam Zheng took your underwear that was stained with her virgin blood out in front of Lihua, Lihua had coughed out blood and passed out.
That was also why she could believe and rely on the few words of Madam Zheng, and bear a bitter grudge against you.” She sighed heavily upon finishing her sentence.

This matter did indeed give rise to a multitude of questions.
Perhaps Madam Zheng had taken advantage of Shenzhi’s drunkenness and seduced him by pretending to be Lihua, or perhaps nothing had happened at all.
After all, Shenzhi had no memory of it.

However, that underwear was the last straw that broke Lihua’s back.
