The voice of Qin angrily scolding the concubine was still lingering in the hall.
"My Lord, this is bad..."
At this time, a servant came hurriedly from outside, tripped over the threshold, and staggered two steps.
Seeing that in addition to the Marquis of Jinyang, the Marquis's wife Qin and the Crown Prince Chen Feng were also in the hall, he knelt on the ground with a plop, buried his head, and stopped talking.
Qin noticed that the person who came in was the servant who usually served in the outer courtyard beside Marquis Jinyang. Her harsh expression subsided a little, "What happened? Get up and talk."
"Yes." The servant stood up nervously. Seeing that the Marquis' wife Qin was still waiting for him to speak, he hurriedly winked at Marquis Jinyang and gave him several looks.
Qin's suspicious gaze followed the servant and swept towards Marquis Jinyang.
Marquis Jinyang sat upright with a serious face, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Is there anything in our mansion that Madam and the Crown Prince cannot hear?"
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from the servant's forehead.
There was a faint noise coming from outside, as if someone was causing trouble in the outer courtyard.
"Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and say it!" Qin scolded.
"What's wrong?" Chen Feng also spoke at this time, staring at the servant with a heavy expression.
It's not that he was afraid of trouble, it's just that there have been too many things going on in the mansion recently, especially now that Xue Linglong has done this...
"But has something happened at the Ling Family Villa, or has Duke Liu's Mansion sent someone?"
"No." The servant hurriedly shook his head. Under the aggressive gazes of the three masters, he gritted his teeth and said, "There is a girl outside who claims to be the Marquis's concubine and is pregnant with the Marquis's child. She wants to ask our mansion for an explanation..."
"What?" Qin slammed the table and stood up suddenly.
His eyes were wide open, full of surprise.
Not long ago, she was still harshly criticizing her son for having a mistress, but she never expected that her son was not the only fool in the house.
Even her husband, who had always been deeply in love with her and never spoke ill of his concubine, was secretly keeping a mistress outside?
"I'll go out and take a look." Marquis Jinyang also stood up suddenly, as if his butt was on fire, and strode outside with an anxious look on his face.
"My Lord?" Qin called out, but Marquis Jinyang, who was walking out, seemed not to have heard her and did not even pause.
Qin couldn't help but shake her body.
Fell back into the chair.
Chen Feng hurried forward, but before he could lend a hand, Qin stood up again, holding on to the handrail.
Shen Feng stepped forward and supported her arm, "Mother, don't worry, father should be out to deal with this matter."
"I don't know who is so bold as to blackmail our mansion."
Chen Feng never thought that his father really had a mistress. After all, he knew since he could remember that his father loved his first wife and did not take matters between men and women seriously. The concubines in the mansion were basically just decorations. Even if they occasionally stayed in the backyard, they would go to his mother's yard.
When he promised Xue Linglong that they would be together for the rest of their lives, he had said that since his father could remain calm towards other women, he could certainly do the same, so Xue Linglong could rest assured. His true heart will always be with her. Even if he is forced to marry Wei Yunlan as his wife, he will never set foot in Wei Yunlan's room.
"Mother, don't you know who father is? Don't let others say something that will make you angry."
Seeing that his mother seemed to have recovered a little and her body stopped shaking, Shen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, how can you easily doubt your father just because of a few words from others?"
As he said this, he helped Qin out and said, "I'll help you out, and let's see who is the one who is destroying the reputation of our Jinyang Marquis Mansion like this!"
When the mother and son walked out of the hall, Marquis Jinyang had already disappeared.
Following the noise from the front yard, everyone was gathered here.
In addition to the guards guarding the gate and the servants serving in the front yard, there were also many servants peeking around.
When they saw Qin and Shen Feng coming, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to watch the fun any longer.
As the crowd dispersed, Qin and Chen Feng saw Marquis Jinyang standing in the middle of the yard, and the weak woman sitting on the ground, holding her stomach with one hand and holding the hem of Marquis Jinyang's clothes with the other.
At this time, Marquis Jinyang was looking down at the woman with reproachful eyes, but there was also some pity in the reproach. His hands, which should have been hanging at his sides, had already covered the woman's arms, trying to pull her up from the cold ground.
The servant standing guard not far away wanted to remind Marquis Jinyang that Qin and Chen Feng were coming, but Qin glared at him fiercely and he didn't dare to speak.
The weak woman sitting on the ground at that time could clearly see the figures of Qin and Shen Feng approaching, but for some reason, she did not say a word to remind Marquis Jinyang.
When Qin and Chen Feng walked behind them, they just heard Marquis Jinyang say, "The ground is cold in winter. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about our child in your belly."
"Hurry up and get up. There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently. I didn't mean to neglect you. I just couldn't spare the time. Let someone send you back first. When I'm free, I'll go over and spend more time with you and the child."
The tone of voice used by Marquis Jinyang when speaking to the woman was gentler than Qin had ever heard before.
The woman seemed not to have seen Qin and Chen Feng coming over. She just stood up with the help of Marquis Jinyang and leaned into his arms. Just as she was about to lean against his chest, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked behind Marquis Jinyang in panic.
Then, without waiting for others to speak, he spontaneously knelt down.
He lowered his head and acted very cowardly.
"You bitch..."
Qin was so angry that she raised her foot to kick the woman kneeling on the ground in the chest.
"Mother, don't be impulsive."
Shen Feng held his mother's arm and tried to lead her to the back, but Qin shook his hand away.
However, the force of his foot was too weak and it only grazed the woman's thick robe.
The woman fell backwards, holding her stomach, her face turned pale, then she struggled to get up, knelt back in the direction of Qin, lowered her head, and kowtowed to Qin again and again.
"Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me!"
"Alright." Marquis Jinyang squatted down and held the woman's shoulders to stop her movements. Then he frowned and looked at Qin who was raising her foot to kick the woman a second time.
"What are you doing?"
"Fuyao is pregnant with my child, are you going to force her to die?"
"Or do you want to kick her to death so that she can have two bodies?"
Marquis Jinyang helped the woman up from the ground, looked down at Qin, and said coldly: "How could I not know before that you have such a vicious heart!"
