Seeing Hu's miserable state, Aunt Chen and the others covered their mouths and chuckled.

Aunt Pan feigned sympathy, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude. "Oh dear, sister, don't be sad. The general will surely believe you didn't do it, hehehe~~"

The laughter was extremely grating to Hu's ears.

"Yes, sister, your health is important. Get up quickly, don't stay on the ground and catch a cold. If you develop a chronic illness, how will you be able to bear children for the general?" Aunt Zhang covered her mouth and chuckled.

Madam Hu glared fiercely at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang seemed to be concerned about her, but in reality, she was mocking her for not being able to give birth to a son.

That damn bitch!

One day, she'll tear that bitch's mouth apart!

Aunt Chen, of course, wouldn't let any opportunity to kick Hu Shi while she was down slip by. She slightly raised her chin, her seductive eyes sweeping over Hu Shi's swollen face, a gloating smile playing on her lips.

"Tsk tsk tsk, sister, your little face is so swollen, it looks like a pig's head during the New Year! It's really pitiful to look at. I'm not trying to criticize you, but even if you are the mistress of the house, you should not forget that the most important person in this house is still our General."

Hu turned her head sharply and stared intently at Aunt Chen.

It must have been that wretched woman who spread it!

Yesterday, through Zhang the cook's words, she made that wretched woman Chen realize her status as a servant, and told her to keep her tail between her legs and not be arrogant in the mansion.

Now this vile woman is using this to shut her up, mocking her that no matter how high her status is in the mansion, she's no higher than the general.

Madam Hu was filled with rage. She gripped the handkerchief in her hand so tightly that her knuckles turned pale from the strain. "You wretch, shut your mouth!"

Aunt Chen wasn't angry at being scolded; instead, the smile in her eyes widened. She raised her hand, blew on it as if to remove the dust, and with a smirk, continued, "Sister, you'd better hurry up and apply the medicine to your face properly. Look how swollen it is."

If this isn't handled properly, it might leave a scar. The general only visits your courtyard twice a month, sister. If you get disfigured, you might not even be able to come once a month, let alone twice.

We three sisters are all hoping that our older sister will give birth to a son soon, hehehe~~~

Aunt Chen knew what Hu was concerned about, and every word she spoke was specifically aimed at Hu's heart.

"Hehehe~~" Aunt Pan and Aunt Zhang covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Get out! All of you get out! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite!" Madam Hu was completely enraged, and her fierce gaze shot towards Aunt Chen and the others like a sharp sword.

Aunt Chen was not afraid at all when she saw Hu's terrifying eyes.

Heh, when it comes to methods and viciousness, she might not lose to her.

Aunt Chen feigned fear, patting her chest. "Oh dear, sister, you're so scary! You've frightened me half to death. No wonder the general doesn't like coming to your courtyard. Hehehe, I'll be going now, sister, please get some rest."

After saying that, she led Su Er and walked arrogantly toward the door.

As she was about to step out the door, she turned back and glanced at Hu Shi, who was sitting on the ground with a furious expression, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes.

Hehehe, Mr. Hu, this is just the beginning!

Aunt Chen had already left, and the remaining concubines glanced at Madam Hu as if she were a joke, before following her out as well.
