Was Chui Corps at the right time to have someone serve them?

Xiu Ying listened to Suo'er's mournful voice, her mind was filled with the scene of the garden … Madam Feng's hand, which had just lifted the teacup, was heavily placed down.

With a "peng" sound, Xiu Ying's hand shook and she snapped out of her daze. Madam Feng's voice was stern as she said, "You don't even know that Aunt is pregnant for two months, what other tricks can you possibly serve?!"

Su-Er's face turned red from being scolded. She opened her mouth, but there was no way to tell.

"Xinmei, bring someone to tie up all the servants in front of Aunt Cui. One person, ten plates." Madam Feng instructed, "Whoever dares to disobey, make twenty slabs and sell them."

In simple terms, it was a dignity that could not be defied.

Sue was sweating cold sweat and she was feeling anxious. The mandarin plum had already heard the order and called two strong wives to come in and take down Sue Er first.

Only now did Xiu Ying understand.

Aunt Cui was pregnant.

But was Aunt Cui pregnant at this time in his previous life? Shen Qingwen was born in the 34th year of Zhen Yuan. Right now, he only had 30 years of Zhen Yuan, but the difference was like four years.

Xiu Ying carefully thought back and confirmed that there was no such thing.

Su E had already been dragged out of the courtyard with her mouth shut. There was a wave of greetings from outside the courtyard. Master Shen walked in with an ashen face. "What are you trying to do?"

He had just sent Marquis Yongping off when he heard that Aunt Cui was pregnant. He hurried over. Due to Aunt Cui fainting, the courtyard was in a state of chaos. Only a little girl, Suxue, was taking care of him. She told him that she had come to report to Madam Feng, but she hadn't come back for a long time. He thought back to the day when Aunt Cui had said that Madam Feng had angered her about the two sisters. He had wanted to take a look, but he had never expected to see Soo'er being dragged out of the room by a gag.

Madam Feng stood up, and Xiu Ying bowed to him as well.

Old Master Shen saw that Madam Feng still didn't have a good expression, but his tone wasn't as stiff as when he entered the room. "How did this lass make Madam angry?"

"Old master, are you helping me with my internal affairs?" The Feng family sneered. He had come at the right time, and Aunt Cui had fainted at the right time as well. When the guests would leave, and when she would faint.

To return such a big surprise.

Old Master Shen choked. Madam Feng's words were very tactful, but it was enough to remind him of his identity. If the reputation of an old master meddling in the inner chamber were to spread, not only would he slap the Feng family in the face, he wouldn't even have a good reputation.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Madam, you misunderstood. I was looking like I was about to be punished, so I thought that Aunt Cui was just pregnant and it would be better not to see Xue Chong in trouble." "Moreover, she's currently waiting by herself, so it's normal for her to be injured."

Xiu Ying's eyes widened as she heard this. This father of hers, she couldn't help but be distracted!

When Madam Feng heard this, she gave a cold laugh. A scholar seeking excuses, was it always so grandiose?

"With Aunt Cui's food and clothing, even the maidservants are able to catch up to my wife, but there's only one girl by her side?" Then this kind of servant was even more deserving of punishment. After being pregnant for two months without knowing, the concubine had now fainted and didn't know how to attend to him. Those who do not know, think that I have treated my concubine harshly, and should die even more! "

Old Master Shen was startled by her last sentence and his eyebrows jumped. He also understood what was going on.

Aunt Cui had given birth to a child and served him personally. How could she not know that her master had not come yet? Moreover, Madam Feng was right. With a concubine like Aunt Cui, she had almost caught up with the main wife. Why was there only a little girl serving her inside the house?

Master Shen's face sank, while Madam Feng's cold expression eased a bit, "Master's words are reasonable. Since Aunt Cui is pregnant, it is not good for her to see blood. I'll go see Aunt Cui first and see how those people serve her. "

Madam Feng was about to leave when Xiu Ying hurried forward. Seeing that her mother didn't want her to follow, she tugged on her sleeve. Madam Feng had no choice but to kneel down and try to persuade her. She whispered into her ear, "Mother, I saw an old woman give a packet of something to Sanxue in the garden. Now that I think about it, it should be something like a medicinal bag."

The Feng family only glanced at her a few times. Xiu Ying nodded heavily.

"Then follow your good mother and don't move." Madam Feng patted her head and stood up to lead her away.

Old Master Shen also followed along. Along the way, he seemed to be deep in thought, and from time to time, he raised his eyes to look at Madam Feng.

Aunt Cui's small courtyard was still in a mess. The girl's wife walked over, but she didn't go inside. Madam Feng remained silent as she led Xiu Ying inside.

The windows were closed and the room was dimly lit, but the delicate furnishings were still there. There was still a thick fragrance in the room. Madam Feng glanced at the incense burner and saw smoke rising from it.

Master Shen had already entered the inner room and asked Aunt Cui if she was awake.

When Madam Feng entered, Master Shen was sitting on the edge of the bed. Aunt Cui was both surprised and happy. Her beautiful eyes were looking at him affectionately. Her body softly leaned on his body.

"Cough, cough." Xiu Ying coughed lightly.

"Tsk …" It was just daylight, and it was disgraceful. This father didn't even think that she was still a child.

Hearing the voice of his daughter, Master Shen woke up in a moment of gentleness. He stood up, embarrassed to the point that he didn't dare to look at Lady Feng and her daughter. Aunt Cui almost fell off the bed.

Madam Feng lowered her head and glared at the mischievous Xiu Ying before walking to the bedside. "Aunt Cui, what do you think?"

"Greetings Madam." When Aunt Cui wanted to get out of bed, Madam Feng raised a hand to stop her. "You're pregnant right now, so there's no need to be so courteous."

Old Master Shen also signaled for Sanxue to help him lie down. Aunt Cui thanked him weakly. "For Madame to come in person, it would be hard on you."

"If I hadn't heard that you had fainted and that your personal attendant didn't know that you were pregnant for two months, and that no one in the courtyard was with you, I wouldn't have taken this trip." Madam Feng adjusted her sleeves and spoke carelessly.

When Aunt Cui heard his words, she suddenly raised her head to look at Master Shen. When she saw him looking at her with a dark expression, she tightened her grip. Her heartbeat quickened as she replied, "My days were never good. I never thought …"

"Ugh …" Madam Feng interrupted her, "If you have it, then take good care of yourself. "The Old Master is merciful to you, and since you've forgiven this servant whose heart is filled with carelessness, I will not punish him."

Aunt Cui was not too happy that her words had been stuck in her throat. When she heard that Madam Feng had already seen through her little scheme, she did not bother about it and turned doubtful instead. When Master Shen heard this, he knew that Madam Feng was vexed by his actions earlier and could only stand there silently.

He was, after all, a fourth rank official. After he calmed down and thought about it, he understood why there was no one by Aunt Cui's side to serve her. He was also a bit annoyed, but he didn't understand what was going on.

Madam Feng took it lightly. Xiu Ying was also surprised. She even cried out for her mother, her eyes burning as she stared at Aunt Cui.

While everyone had different thoughts, Madam Feng continued, "With your body, it will not be convenient for you to wait upon the old master in the future. But the old master has always liked you, so there will definitely be a lot of time for you to come here. I have made the decision. Master, come over later, you should take good care of Su-Er and Su-Xue in your room. "Take good care of your body …"

Madam Feng didn't even bother to look at the shocked trio as she led Xiu Ying out.

Xiu Ying was almost unable to hold back her laughter. Her mother was truly at the top of the game.
