Was Mrs Cui waiting on someone when he needed her service?

As Xiuying listened to Su'e's mournful words, her mind was filled with the scene of the garden … Mrs Feng had just lifted the teacup when she slammed it down.

With a bang, Xiuying's hand trembled, and she snapped out of her daze. Mrs Feng sternly replied, "If you don't even know that Aunt is pregnant for two months, what other tricks can you possibly serve?!"

Su'e's face turned red from being scolded. She opened her mouth, but no matter where she went, it was impossible to tell.

"Xin Mei, bring some men to tie up all the servants in front of Aunt Cui. Ten boards for one person." Mrs Feng instructed, "Who dares to disobey? Take twenty boards and sell them."

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

Su'e was instantly drenched in cold sweat as she inwardly grew anxious. Xin Mei had already listened to the order and called out for two strong women to come in. She wanted to take Su'e down first.

Only then did Xiuying 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.

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

Su'e had already been dragged out of the room with her mouth stuffed into her mouth. There was a chorus of greetings from outside the yard. Master Shen walked in with a pale face: "What are you doing?"

He had just sent Marquis Yongping off when he heard the news that Aunt Cui was pregnant. He hurried over, and because Aunt Cui had fainted, the courtyard was extremely busy. Only Su Xue was there to take care of him, and even though he said that he had come to report to Mrs Feng, he did not return for a long time. He remembered that Aunt Cui had said that Mrs Feng was angry about the two sisters, so he wanted to take a look. Who knew that he would see Su'e being dragged out with her mouth shut?

Mrs Feng stood up, and Xiuying bowed to him as well.

Master Shen saw that Mrs Feng's expression still did not look good. However, his tone was not as stiff as when he entered the room, "How did this girl make Madam angry?"

"Old master, are you helping me with my internal affairs?" Mrs Feng sneered coldly. He had come at the right time, and Aunt Cui had fainted at the same time. When the guests had left, and when she had fainted.

To return such a big surprise.

Master Shen choked. Mrs 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 Mrs Feng's face, but he would also not have a good reputation.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Madam has misunderstood me. 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."

Xiuying's eyes widened when she heard this. Her father was at a loss for words!

Mrs Feng snickered when she heard this. Were all scholars so pretentious?

"Aunt Cui's food and clothing is so good that even the servant girl can catch up with my wife, and 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! "

Master Shen was so shocked by her last sentence that his eyebrows jumped up and down.

Aunt Cui had given birth to a child before, and she served him personally as a housekeeper. How could they not know that their master had come to do business? Furthermore, what Mrs Feng said was right. This noble concubine of Aunt Cui's almost caught up to the main chamber. Why is there only a little girl serving her in the room?

Master Shen's face sunk and darkened. Mrs Feng's cold expression eased a little, "Master's words are reasonable. Aunt Cui is pregnant, so she should not be exposed to blood. I'll go look for Aunt Cui first and see how those people serve her. "

Mrs Feng was about to leave when she saw her mother looking at her with an expression that said 'don't ask me to follow'. Xiuying pulled on her sleeve. Mrs 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 Su Xue a packet of something. Now I think, it should be something like a medicinal bag."

Mrs Feng only glanced at her a few times before Xiuying nodded her head heavily.

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

Master Shen also followed them. Along the way, he seemed to be thinking about something and looked up at Mrs Feng from time to time.

Aunt Cui's small courtyard was still in a mess. The little girl's wife walked over, but she did not enter the house. Mrs Feng silently led Xiuying inside.

The windows were closed and the room was dimly lit, but the delicate furnishings were still there. There was still a heavy fragrance in the room. Mrs Feng glanced at her watch and saw the silver incense burner with the thread sticking out of it. The smoke was rising in spirals.

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

When Mrs Feng went in, Master Shen was sitting on the edge of the bed. Aunt Cui looked at him with both surprise and joy. Her beautiful eyes were filled with emotion as she softly leaned on him.

"Cough, cough." Xiuying coughed lightly.

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

Hearing his daughter's voice, Master Shen instantly woke up from his good mood and stood up. He was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at Mrs Feng and her daughter. Aunt Cui almost fell off the bed.

Mrs Feng lowered her head and glared at the mischievous Xiuying before walking over to the bed. "Aunt Cui, what do you think now?"

"Greetings Madam." Just as Aunt Cui was about to get off the bed, Mrs Feng raised a hand to stop her. "You're pregnant, so there's no need to be so courteous."

Master Shen also motioned for Su Xue to help her lie down. Aunt Cui thanked him weakly. "If Madam were to come here personally, it would be terrible for 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." Mrs Feng adjusted her sleeve, speaking carelessly.

Aunt Cui looked up at Master Shen when she heard what he said. When she saw him looking at her with a serious expression, she clenched her fists tightly. Her heartbeat quickened as she replied, "My days were never good. I never thought …"

"Ugh …" Mrs 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's words were stuck in her throat, but she wasn't too happy. When she heard that Mrs Feng had obviously seen through her little scheme, she didn't bother about it and instead became suspicious. When Master Shen heard this, he knew that Mrs Feng was angry at his actions earlier and just silently stood there.

He was, after all, a fourth tier official. As soon as 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.

Mrs Feng took it gently and put it aside. Xiuying was also surprised and cried out for her mother. She stared at Aunt Cui with flames in her eyes.

While everyone had different thoughts, Mrs Feng continued, "With your body, it will be inconvenient for you to serve the old master in the future. But the old master has always liked you, so he must have come here quite a while ago. I've made the decision. When the old master comes over, the Su'e and Su Xue in your house will be waiting on him. "Take good care of your body …"

Mrs Feng didn't even bother to look at the shocked trio as she led Xiuying out.

Xiuying almost choked on her laughter to the point of suffering internal injuries.
