Chapter 197: Red Mansion Lady Xing 17
"Madam, you have to make the decision for me." The petite and weak Aunt Li knelt down in the hall with tears in her eyes.
"What is the matter that needs my decision? Tell me." Mrs. Xing sat upright on the armchair with an indifferent look in her eyes.
Aunt Sun, with a belly that was six or seven months pregnant, was so proud that she sat in the seat below Madam Xing without asking her host's permission.
Aunt Li looked at Aunt Sun with a wronged look on her face, tears flashing in her eyes. She sighed softly and said, "My monthly salary is much less than others, and my life is very tight. Today I finally spent some money and asked the kitchen to cook me a bowl of Tremella soup, wanting to taste its sweet taste. Who knew that Aunt Sun's maid saw it, and the maid was so rude and unreasonable that she snatched the Tremella soup away."
Aunt Li felt more and more wronged as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and her voice began to choke. She wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and continued, "I wanted to argue with them, but I was afraid of offending Aunt Sun, so I had to swallow my anger. Although this bowl of white fungus soup is not worth much, the maid scolded me arrogantly before leaving, and I felt really uncomfortable!"
After hearing the end, Xing Yuling didn't need to guess and knew what happened.
Aunt Sun, who was sitting below, stroked her belly, glanced at Aunt Li with a smug look, and then glanced at the lady.
"I'm pregnant now, and there's a precious little master in my belly! I have to protect him well and never let him suffer any grievances!" Aunt Sun stroked her bulging belly, a smile of greed and expectation on her face.
"Madam, you are not pregnant yet, right? You may not understand the dietary needs of pregnant women. After pregnancy, you need to take some supplements to prevent the fetus from being malnourished."
Aunt Sun's tone of voice contained some implications.
Madam Xing frowned, looked at Aunt Sun and said, "Even if you are pregnant, you can't be so indulgent to the servants. Aunt Li is right, this maid is indeed rude and rude."
Aunt Sun was startled and looked at Madam Xing who was sitting in the main seat with a somewhat panicked expression.
"Come here, drag this unruly maid out and give her twenty lashes of the cane. Also, compensate Aunt Li with some silver so that she doesn't have to live in poverty." Xing Yuling gave the order.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Li kowtowed to express her gratitude.
Aunt Sun gnashed her teeth in anger, but she dared not say anything. She knew very well that she was in the wrong this time, so she could only wait for the master to come to see her and complain.
After everyone has left.
Guyu, the head maid, saw that the lady looked tired and said with some concern, "Madam, please ask a doctor to come in and see you. You have been listless these past few days."
Xing Yuling always felt like she had forgotten something and her mind was blank.
Since she had sex with him that day, she was completely confused and her mind was in a mess. She had completely forgotten about taking contraceptive pills. And now, her period has been delayed for two to three months and has not come yet.
Xing Yuling felt panicky. Could it be that she was really pregnant?
"No, maybe it's just irregular menstruation." Xing Yuling comforted herself.
Guyu saw Xing Yuling's worry and suggested, "Madam, why don't we find a doctor to take a look? That will put your mind at ease."
Xing Yuling nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Guyu, to get a doctor."
Not long after, Guyu came to the mansion with a doctor. The doctor felt Mrs. Xing's pulse and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Madam, you are pregnant."
Mrs. Xing was shocked. She was pregnant. She didn't know how to face this unexpected child, nor did she know whether the man would acknowledge the child.
On the other side, Shui Lin received the message from the secret guard and knocked over the teacup in surprise.
He was very excited and paced back and forth in the study.
He thought that the situation in the Eastern Palace was dangerous now and all the forces were keeping an eye on him, so he must not let anyone know about the mother and son. He also made plans so that if something happened to the Eastern Palace, he could leave his bloodline.
"Send half of the East Palace secret guards to the Jia Mansion to protect the lady. There must not be any mistakes."
A secret guard came out from the darkness, wrapped tightly, told the prince that he understood, and left.
Shui Lin already had a plan in mind. Since ancient times, princes have never had a good ending. He could not guarantee that he could really ascend to that position, so he could only prepare for the worst.
He could not help but feel a sense of regret and pity. It was a pity that he had not met his beloved woman earlier, otherwise everything would have been different. However, now he could only protect her silently and hope that she would be safe. After all, she was in such a complicated environment in the Jia Mansion, and with the care of Marquis En, she would not be in too much danger.
Rongguofu
Everyone in the family and courtyard heard the news that Mrs. Xing, the eldest wife, was pregnant. They had different thoughts, but only the eldest wife was happy and excited.
Mrs. Wang angrily picked up the cup and smashed it to the ground. With a crisp cracking sound, the cup instantly broke into countless pieces and flew all around.
"Bang!" This was the loud noise made when the cup hit the ground, followed by a series of fine "crackling" sounds.
"Zhou Ruijia, come in!"
The maids stood aside trembling with fear.
"Didn't you say it was foolproof? What about now?" Mrs. Wang looked at Zhou Ruijia with angry eyes.
"Madam, I did exactly what you asked." Zhou Ruijia looked frightened, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Even if the first lady gets pregnant, she may not be able to give birth. If we act secretly, we will definitely succeed." Zhou Ruijia hurriedly came up with an idea.
She leaned close to Madam Wang and said in a low voice, "We can find an opportunity to give Madam some medicine to make her miscarry. Or we can tamper with her food to make her weak and unable to give birth smoothly. In this way, even if she gets pregnant, it will be difficult to keep the child. Moreover, if she loses her fertility, it will be even better. There will be no other children to threaten your and Baoyu's status in the future."
Zhou Ruijia's eyes flashed with a malicious light, as if he had seen the success of the plan. Mrs. Wang listened quietly, without expressing her opinion immediately, but her eyes revealed a hint of contemplation. After a while, she nodded gently, indicating that she agreed with the suggestion. So the two began to discuss the specific implementation plan.
Mrs. Wang regained her composure and sat in the main seat, her mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile. She was secretly proud of herself, thinking that she had finally found a way to solve the problem. Although this method was a bit despicable, she was willing to do whatever it took to protect the interests of herself and Baoyu. As long as she could get rid of the fetus in the eldest lady's belly, everything would be worth it.
Jia She, who had already received the news, was happy to have another legitimate son, and came to the main courtyard early to visit Xing Yuling.
"Mother, how is my brother? Is he behaving well?" Jia Lian also came to visit his stepmother after hearing the news.
Xing Yuling touched Jia Lian's head and said lovingly, "It's only three months now. Lian'er will be the eldest brother in the future."
"Be more steady in the future and learn from Zhu'er," Jia She heard as he walked into the main room.
"Master, you are here"
When Xing Yuling saw Jia She coming, she asked the maid to serve tea.
"I rushed back as soon as I heard the news," Jia She stroked his short beard.
"You are pregnant, so don't bother with those trivial matters!" Jia She looked at his wife calmly. He really didn't want to bother with those troubles anymore. He felt extremely humiliated that the granddaughter of the Rongguo Mansion was actually sent to the palace to be a maid. And all this was done by Jia's mother and the second house. They didn't care about the family's face, just to satisfy their own selfish desires. Thinking of this, Jia She's heart was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. He couldn't help but remember that he married his current wife out of filial piety.
