Chapter 83 It has nothing to do with you, why bother talking so much
His eyes turned dark and he was immediately furious. He stood up and slapped the second girl.
If the second young lady had held a glimmer of hope for Master Chen before, now she is filled with complete resentment.
The fetus in Aunt An's belly, whose gender is still unknown, is actually more important than her.
He beat her in front of Lu Wanning.
"Enough!" The old lady couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "You might as well beat her to death. You raised your own child, and now you treat her like this."
After all, the second girl was raised by the old lady, so how could she not feel sorry for her?
Their mother did something wrong, but the two children were always innocent.
The old lady has been worried for a long time about the marriages of the two girls.
After all, people are divided into close and distant relatives. The look she gave Lu Wanning now no longer had the kindness she had before, but instead contained more resentment.
"Mrs. An is carrying the flesh and blood of our Chen family. Naturally, our Chen family cannot remain indifferent. But now that the matter has already happened, there is no point in saying more. How will the Crown Prince's Consort deal with this?"
In this case, it seems like Lu Wanning is being unreasonable and interfering in the Chen family's affairs.
She sighed, "It's not my turn to deal with the people in the Chen Mansion, but seeing my aunt being bullied while pregnant really made me feel bad. She hasn't even shown her pregnancy yet, and she's already going through such a shock. Who knows what dangers she might face in the future. I'm really worried."
She looked at Master Chen and said, "For my aunt's safety, I will bring her to my place. After she gives birth, I will send her back. What do you think, Master?"
That's of course not possible.
Once this concubine An is taken to Prince Qi's mansion, who knows what people outside will say about the Chen family.
How could Mr. Chen afford to lose this man?
But now that Lu Wanning had a hold on her, she couldn't be too tough.
He only said in a muffled voice, "I care more about the safety of Aunt An and the fetus in her womb than anyone else. What happened today was just an accident. It will never happen again. The Crown Prince's Consort can rest assured."
Lu Wanning shook her head slightly and was about to speak when the second and third wives walked in.
The two of them had obviously heard about what happened today, and were very impressed by the second girl's recklessness and boldness. Of course, it was a pity that nothing happened to Aunt An and the fetus in her womb could not be aborted.
Now the two of them came to help the second girl smooth things over.
The Second Lady was the best at smoothing things over. She spoke with a tone that was neither too light nor too heavy, and with some earnest advice, "What the Second Lady did today was indeed reckless. It's normal for the Crown Prince's Consort to be angry. But having said that, ever since the First Lady..."
She sighed and looked at Lu Wanning, "The Crown Prince's Consort also knows about the things that happened in our Chen Mansion a while ago. The Second and Third Young Ladies are naturally aggrieved. It's understandable that they made a foolish mistake in the moment."
Everyone can say nice things. Lu Wanning raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded. "Second Madam is right, but no one knows how painful this is unless they are affected. I heard that the Second Young Master recently took in a beautiful concubine, and she's pregnant and about to give birth, right?"
Somehow the topic was brought up with her, and the Second Madam was a little confused. "That's what happened."
Lu Wanning said, "Second Madam, you don't know that I'm extremely protective of my shortcomings. I've taken everything you said to heart. My aunt is pregnant with Master Chen's child, and he promised to protect my aunt and the child. But Second Madam, I don't know how you can convince me by saying this."
"But since you've spoken up, I naturally can't say I won't give you any face. How about this: if anything happens to my aunt and the child in the Chen Mansion, I'll use the life of the Second Young Master's unborn child in exchange for his. What do you think, Madam?"
Nonsense, what she thinks, she thinks it's ridiculous!
The second lady was so angry that she took a deep breath for a while before she calmed down. She tried her best to control her tone so as not to sound too angry.
"I just think the Second Miss is acting on impulse, and I hope the Crown Princess can give her a chance to mend her ways. The Crown Princess is being a bit too aggressive. What does this have to do with me?"
"Yes," Lu Wanning asked, "What does it have to do with the Second Madam?"
It's nothing to do with it, so why bother saying so much?
The second wife shut up with a sullen face, and the third wife came over to get scolded again.
After all, her two children are still young, so naturally she doesn't have a pregnant daughter-in-law to worry about.
Therefore, her ability to smooth things over was even better than the Second Madam's. "Since the incident has already happened, why don't you tell me what you want to do? No matter what, our Chen family has raised you for three years. There must be a solution. We can't just kill you off completely."
"Kill them all?" Lu Wanning laughed and looked at Master Chen. "Third Madam's words are really unstructured. Master, do you think my current actions are killing all of them, or are you seeking justice for my aunt?"
Mr. Chen immediately glared at the third wife, saying that none of them had any brains.
The problems that were originally resolved by turning big things into small things and small things into nothing have now become bigger than they actually are. It seems that this person will not leave unless an explanation is given to Lu Wanning today.
But this really cannot be blamed on the Second and Third Madams. After all, before this, no one in the Chen Mansion had ever taken Lu Wanning seriously.
He cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. An must have been quite frightened this time. It's my fault for not raising her well. But fortunately, Mrs. An is fine now."
"I'm usually busy with business matters and really don't have the time and energy to take care of the affairs of the mansion and these evil creatures. I previously mentioned to Concubine An about making her my mistress. Today seems to be a good opportunity. Concubine An will become the mistress and can help me discipline these disobedient children."
"What do you think, Princess?"
Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Master, I am just an outsider. I can't interfere in the affairs of the Chen Mansion."
The second and third wives looked at each other, but no one spoke.
However, the two of them had their own plans in mind. Concubine An was pregnant now, and she probably wouldn't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the mansion for a while. The power to manage the family would definitely belong to the two of them.
As for what happens next, we'll have to wait and see.
So it was decided that Concubine An would be promoted to the position of legal wife.
For Mr. Chen, there was no loss. After all, he had already had this idea a long time ago. It was only a matter of time.
If Aunt An is pregnant with a boy, she can't let him be born as a bastard.
But because he had more or less lost face in front of Lu Wanning, and was angry that Aunt An had almost gotten into trouble, he couldn't help but vent his anger on the second girl.
An order was issued to put her under house arrest, and she would be allowed out only after Aunt An gave birth safely.
