Chapter 158 Don't lose the child by accident, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain
Gu Siqing knew that Yin Miaoyin was trying to help her vent her anger, and felt a little amused.
Unexpectedly, Yin Miaoyin was not only talkative, but also very sharp-tongued. Her words were full of sarcasm and attacked the vital points, leaving Zhou Baili helpless.
"So that's how it is. Isn't being a wife easier than being a concubine? If you didn't have an affair, why would you do this?"
Many noble ladies came to realize that no one knew more about wives and concubines than the women born in the harem.
If not limited by their background, an ordinary woman would rather marry an ordinary man than become a concubine.
Several noble ladies who were about to reach marriage age had heard about Zhou Baili's hasty marriage to the Marquis's Mansion. Her marriage was done too hastily. Even if the Zhou Mansion was in decline, Zhou Baili was still the most beautiful woman in the capital. Why tamper with her?
The only reasonable answer that can explain the strangeness of this matter is that something happened between Zhou Baili and Prince Qin, so she was forced to hastily become the concubine of the Marquis's Mansion.
"I see."
The ladies looked at Zhou Baili strangely. Zhou Baili felt ashamed of being bullied by them, but it would not do her any good to argue about this matter any more, so she had to leave in disappointment.
Zhou Baili snorted coldly and was about to leave when she saw Gu Siqing standing at the very outside. She felt unhappy and reached out to push Gu Siqing away.
Even if she is a concubine, she is still the widow of Master Qin, and is pregnant with his posthumous child. Do these people dare to push her back?
In addition, these noble ladies were all unmarried, and it would not be good for their reputation to bully a pregnant woman with their numbers. Zhou Baili attacked with all her strength, just to push Gu Siqing down.
Gu Siqing saw Zhou Baili's actions, but instead of avoiding them, she directly grabbed Zhou Baili's hand and used force to steady her. She had been pretending to be a man over the years and had practiced a lot of strength.
She pulled the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and whispered to Zhou Baili: "Madam Zhou is pregnant, so you must be careful not to hurt the baby in your belly. After all..."
Gu Siqing sneered in Zhou Baili's ear and said word by word, "This is your support for the rest of your life, Auntie. Don't accidentally lose the child. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?"
Gu Siqing only changed her appearance, but she did not change her voice intentionally. Her voice sounded so familiar to Zhou Baili's ears.
Zhou Baili turned her head and stared at the unfamiliar face in front of her in shock, as if she had seen a ghost.
"You, who are you?" Zhou Baili opened her mouth and took in the unfamiliar face in front of her.
After divorcing the prince, Liu Mingyue had already left the capital. Even if that person was still in the capital, it would not be this face. How could the real Liu Mingyue get to know the daughter of an official?
impossible.
Zhou Baili silently denied her own absurd idea in her heart. The person in front of her could not be Liu Mingyue.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but it's really unbearable for Aunt Zhou to look at me like this with such fiery eyes." Gu Siqing lifted Zhou Baili's chin with his other hand and looked at her face.
"Aunt Zhou is looking at me so intently, could it be that she has some thoughts about my face? I didn't know that Aunt Zhou is also interested in women." Gu Siqing smiled in a ruffian way.
The noble ladies who were worried about Gu Siqing widened their eyes when they heard her words. Some of them doubted whether they had heard it wrongly and listened to her words with their eyes wide open in astonishment.
She was actually teasing Aunt Zhou?
Yin Miaoyin took the tea handed to her by the waiter and was about to drink it, but she was so scared by her words that she almost spit out the tea. My cousin used to dress up as a man and also tease people?
Gu Siqing looked Zhou Baili straight in the eye, her bright eyes smiling affectionately and brightly. She knew that Zhou Baili suspected that her voice was too familiar, but she just didn't want to pretend.
After all, her appearance and temperament are completely different from the Liu Mingyue who used to be in Zhou Mansion or even in Hou Mansion. However, even if Zhou Baili really guessed it, she was not afraid.
Now, she has the entire prime minister's mansion backing her up. The Marquis' Mansion is just a declining royal family. Even if Zhou Baili relies on the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, she can't do anything to her.
"Miss, please let my master go. Even if my master is my concubine, she is still a member of the Marquis' Mansion. If you hurt her, I'm afraid you will have a hard time explaining it."
Lu Yin knew that her master was acting impulsively, but in front of outsiders, she would of course stand up and speak for her master without hesitation.
The clothes of these noble ladies seem to be made of good materials, so they must be from high-class families.
If the master could really gain the upper hand, he could just talk a few words and that would be fine, but it was obvious that these people were not easy to deal with, so it was better to stay away from them.
Gu Siqing looked at Lu Yin. She had a deep impression of this girl. Lu Yin was extremely loyal to Zhou Baili.
"Let me go!" Zhou Baili came to her senses and shook off Gu Siqing's hand, rubbing her wrist which was scratched red. "Where did you come from, you slut? How dare you touch me? Don't dirty my hands."
Gu Siqing didn't like to dress too extravagantly, so she used comfortable and ordinary fabrics when making new clothes. She had experienced hardships in her previous life, and her mood had calmed down. She dressed differently from the other noble ladies who had not yet reached the age of marriage.
As a result, Gu Siqing's dress looked particularly ordinary among the noble ladies, like a maid of higher status. Zhou Baili was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and liked to pick on the weak. She immediately pointed her spearhead at Gu Siqing and vented her dissatisfaction on her.
"Oh, even if I really like women, I won't be interested in you, and I don't care about who I am, look at your poor appearance."
Zhou Baili was feeling very upset. She thought Gu Siqing was easy to bully, so she spoke in a particularly sarcastic and harsh manner.
Gu Siqing had heard many more insulting and sarcastic remarks than this one, so Zhou Baili's ridicule was of no concern to her.
Gu Siqing shrugged and didn't take Zhou Baili seriously. Yin Miaoyin was a protective person and became unhappy immediately.
"How noble are you? What's the meaning behind your words? How dare you say that to my sister?"
Yin Miaoyin already disliked Zhu Baihe, and when she heard that she dared to insult Gu Siqing, how could she tolerate her?
"Why? I still have some sense of propriety and honor. She is a girl, and what shameless words she said. But you are sisters, so it's no wonder that you have the same bad temper."
Zhou Baili was bullied and scolded by several noble ladies before, so she was very angry and didn't care about being polite.
The two of them started arguing in Ruyi Pavilion. If it was a one-on-one fight, Zhou Baili might be able to gain some advantage, but Yin Miaoyin was not fighting alone.
"Mrs. Zhou, please stop putting on airs. Do you think we can't see that you are just trying to use the Marquis' Mansion to pressure us? She's not even the Crown Prince's Consort, but you look down on her because of her status as the Crown Prince's wife?"
Yue Ya had known Yin Miaoyin the longest, so he immediately stood up to help his good friend in the fight.
After all, she was the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and her words were the worst she could say. Wang Weizhi felt unhappy and stood in front to confront Zhou Baihe.
"If you want to be arrogant because of your status, you should know your own worth. Even if we respect the people of Dingbei Marquis Mansion, who are you? How dare you, a concubine in the backyard, put on airs in front of us?"
Wang Weizhi directly pointed out her aunt's lowly status and left no room for Zhou Baili.
The ladies spoke one after another, and their words were like artillery fire directly at Zhou Baili's facade.
Gu Siqing put one hand on Yin Miaoyin's shoulder and leaned her head on Wang Weizhi's shoulder. She looked very proud.
The corners of Yin Miaoyin and Wang Weizhi's mouth twitched, thinking that Gu Siqing could make people angry.
"After arguing for so long, I can barely hear that Aunt Zhou feels that she is of a noble status and that we should all give in a little. I guess Aunt Zhou doesn't know the status of these young ladies."
She smiled and raised her eyebrows, her tone provocative. Zhou Baili glanced at the people present and only recognized one person, the daughter of a fifth-rank official.
