The Feng family casually gave Susu E and Soo Xue face.
At first, she was happy inside, but soon after, she felt a chill behind her back. She turned her head in panic and met Aunt Cui's cold and fierce eyes.
Pure Snow's face immediately turned pale. She wanted to say something, but Master Shen stood at the side and opened his mouth, unable to speak a single word.
Master Shen's expression didn't look too good either. He looked at Aunt Cui slowly and said, "Have a good rest first." "Pure Snow, take good care of your concubine. Once your husband's medicine is caught, he'll immediately call someone to fry. If you continue to be unable to move, then you can directly report it to Madam." After which, he walked out.
Aunt Cui could not believe her eyes as she saw the room turn silent in an instant. She slammed the pillow to the ground. Old Master Shen's last words were obviously a warning to her!
He had seen through her little tricks, but was he not the most fond of ordinary tricks?! That much seemed important to him.
Why did it change so suddenly today?!
Aunt Cui was a shrewd person. If she had been a harmless person, Master Shen would definitely be happy about her. How could a man not love his woman and be jealous of her for his own sake? Today, however, Aunt Cui had touched his bottom line.
This kind of competition for favor had already endangered his official voice. Just the use of Madam Feng's words from Aunt Cui had woken him up — to pamper his concubine and eliminate his wife. Even if he had a grudge with Madam Feng and was not an ordinary husband and wife, he still couldn't afford the reputation of pampering his concubine to the death! If those officials knew, then there was no need for him to act like one!
Even if Aunt Cui had just given birth to his child, he wouldn't feel any more pain because of this.
"Master Shen was furious. Other than Aunt Cui, who went too far this time, there is also …" "Madam!" He caught up with the Feng family.
Madam Feng stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. She looked like a beautiful yet delicate hibiscus amidst the verdant courtyard.
Old Master Shen's pupils shrank when he saw this. He paused for a moment before saying, "Madam, I don't have any intention of asking for an aunt."
Hearing this, the corner of Xiu Ying's mouth twitched.
Was her father here to express his feelings?
She tugged on the sleeve of the mandarin plum, and the mandarin plum understood, leading her to a flower garden not far away to see the welcoming spring flowers.
After Madam Feng saw that her daughter had left, she expressionlessly looked at Master Shen. "Currently, there is only one young master in the main room, Brother Xiang. Master should open more branches and scatter leaves."
"No matter how many brothers there are, they are all born from concubines!" Master Shen grew excited. "Yunzheng, as long as you are willing, these children in the long room are yours to begin with."
Madam Feng suddenly felt nauseous and took a step back. She stared fixedly at Master Shen, "Old master, please don't joke. You've forgotten that Shen Lian and Fu Liu are only three months away."
Madam Feng's words made Old Master Shen feel like someone had hit him, his face burning.
He had only married Madam Feng for a month, and when he was drunk, he had a close relationship with his cousin Aunt Cui. After the Feng family learned about this, they looked at him with the same indifferent and disgusted expression as now. However, when the guilt wrapped itself around his heart, he became even more agitated.
This was the first time the Feng family had said that she cared about this matter.
Master Shen took a step forward and grabbed her hand. A strange light flashed in his eyes, "Yunzheng, you still care about this, right? As long as you're willing, I won't be coming to Aunt's room in the future. "
While her hand was being held, Madam Feng was greatly alarmed. She did not even think about shaking it off. The force was so strong that even she herself was forced back a few steps.
Old Master Shen looked at his empty hand, the feeling of exquisite and thick silk still lingering in his palm. He was astonished. He had already spoken in such a manner and had never submitted before. Why was she still able to shake him off?
"I think you're confused by the number of things you have to do today." Madam Feng was so angry that her entire body was trembling, "Shen Yuan, don't forget what you said before. You want a son? It just so happens that I spoke to Aunt Wang and let Brother Xiang carry her to my side and raise her as my in-name son. If you agree to have a direct son, and if you disagree, then don't blame me for not allowing a direct son to come out of the family! "
Madam Feng had not been this angry for a long time. She was so angry that she called Master Shen by his full name.
If Grandpa Shen had been beaten up just now, he would have been stabbed right in the heart. His face would have turned red and green – he was acting too smug.
He was probably angry, but he was unable to find any signs of an outburst.
Madam Feng's words were reasonable. From the start, he was the one at fault, and he was also the one who agreed to the agreement. Old Master Shen, who was a scholar and knew how to speak, was short of breath.
Just then, Shen Lian was carried by the little girl.
She was left behind by Old Granny Shen to scold her ruthlessly. If it wasn't for her aunt who found out that she was pregnant when she returned, she probably would still be training in the Kang Ning Courtyard.
From far away, she could see the mandarin plum and Xiu Ying looking at the welcoming spring flowers. The mandarin plum had even picked a hairpin and brought it to her hair. Thinking about today's humiliation, Xiu Ying stepped forward to coax Miss Min. She gritted her teeth in anger. Originally, she wanted to go up and use the concubine's pregnancy to provoke her, but who knew that when she turned the corner, she would see her first wife and father. She was so frightened that she withdrew her thoughts and obediently walked forward to pay her respects.
Madam Feng did not pay attention to her. She lifted her hand and called for Yingyu before leaving. Master Shen did not pay any attention to her either. He even coldly glanced at her as he flicked his sleeves and left.
Shen Lian felt extremely strange, she did not know that she had been angered, and her grievance caused her to cry out loud as she ran back into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Aunt Cui was still in a rage, her room full of broken pieces of porcelain. Both Suxue and Su-Er were kneeling in front of her. Their eyes were bloodshot, as if they had just been crying.
Shen Lian threw herself into Aunt Cui's arms, crying. She told her that Madam Feng had given her a look and her father had ignored her. This made Aunt Cui grind her teeth in anger.
This time, she was the one who took the rock and smashed her own foot. She actually let Madam Feng easily get her sore spot. Having slapped the face of the little girl in her room, those two hooves were now giving in in in order to compete for the favor, and they might not be willing to accept it in the future. However, if she were to send out the two of them now, the entire mansion would definitely be filled with people who would be loyal to work for her in the future.
The Feng Family really has a good method!
Aunt Cui hugged Shen Lian who was crying so hard that she was about to faint from anger. Xiu Ying held Madam Feng's hand and asked, "Your daughter thought that mother would ask about that package. If that's the case, then Father would be even more infuriated by Aunt Cui's scheming. "
She wasn't eight years old, so she naturally understood the Feng Family's methods. However, she still felt that her counterattack was too light.
Madam Feng was still angry at this moment, and sneered: "Who cares what kind of medicine it is, if you want to take a birth control pill and even light up a thick incense, then you really might not be able to keep the child safe! If she wants to court death, why should I expose her! "
Xiu Ying recalled the fragrance she had smelled earlier in the room.
She had never really given birth to a child, so she did not know of these concerns. Aunt Cui was the same. She was already pregnant for the second time, so she couldn't help but to feel a little uneasy. As expected, it was his concubine's room. She liked to use these as a method to compete for a favor. That fragrance seemed to be his father's favorite, and after a while, she forgot about any scruples.
Although Madam Feng was very angry, her face could no longer be seen after returning to the courtyard. She even ordered that everyone in the long room would be rewarded with money. Xiu Ying really admired her mother for this. No matter what she did, it would always be watertight.
