Upon hearing that Jinzhu was pregnant, Su Renyi finally reacted and immediately shouted at the old women, "Stop!"
The old women were fighting fiercely, and being used to relying on their master's power, they didn't even take Su Renyi's orders seriously.
Enraged, Su Renyi stepped forward and kicked the nearest old woman. With a "bang," the old woman was sent flying to the ground. The other old women froze in shock.
"Who gave you the audacity to defy me, the Marquis!" Su Renyi glared angrily at the old women, his bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent.
The old women were so frightened that they knelt on the ground instantly: "This old servant wouldn't dare!"
Seeing that Su Renyi was showing her no respect, Madam Zhong was also quite angry: "I am the mistress of the house, and I am only disciplining a maid. Is it worth the Marquis making such veiled insults at me?"
Su Renyi then turned to Zhong Shi and said with dissatisfaction, "You can discipline maids anywhere, but you should never do so in my study."
"Study?" Madam Zhong sneered sarcastically. "The Marquis knows this is a study. Then what the Marquis and this little slut did in the study last night, are you not afraid of disgracing this study?"
"Since ancient times, having a beautiful woman by one's side has been considered a beautiful thing, how could it be a disgrace?" Su Renyi didn't think what he did was anything shameful: "But you, having made her your concubine, how come you have no tolerance at all!"
The word "lack of magnanimity" infuriated Madam Zhong: "Does the Marquis know her status? How dare a lowly concubine bear the Marquis's child? Marquis, tell me yourself how to deal with her for circumventing the contraceptive potion and getting pregnant without permission?"
Su Renyi frowned and looked at Jinzhu.
Jinzhu immediately protested, feeling wronged: "This servant did not. I drank the contraceptive soup that Madam sent after each time. The nannies all saw it. I don't know how I got pregnant. I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know what to do, so I kept it a secret."
As Jinzhu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes; she was extremely aggrieved!
Seeing Jinzhu's appearance, Su Renyi subconsciously explained for her, "You heard it, she didn't get pregnant on purpose."
Seeing him protecting that little slut Jinzhu at every turn, Madam Zhong turned green with anger: "So, does the Marquis intend to keep this slut?"
"She didn't get pregnant on purpose, she didn't do anything wrong, so why can't she keep the baby?"
He didn't have much of an impression of Jinzhu before, and had only met her a few times, but last night Jinzhu gave him a huge surprise. She was like a fairy, clinging to him again and again, teasing him so much that he couldn't stop.
He had just tasted the sweetness and, like someone who had just acquired a novel toy, was unwilling to give it up.
“Our Yong’an Marquis’s mansion isn’t incapable of supporting a woman and child.” Ignoring Madam Zhong’s dark expression, Su Renyi announced directly, “From today onwards, Jinzhu will be elevated to the status of concubine…”
Before Su Renyi could finish speaking, Jinzhu suddenly shook her head frantically in fear: "No, this servant dares not, this servant dares not become a concubine, I only beg Madam and Second Miss not to use this servant as a test subject for medicine!"
"You wretch, what nonsense are you spouting!" Upon hearing Jinzhu suddenly bring up this matter, Madam Zhong flew into a rage and rushed over to slap her.
"Ah!" Before Zhong could even hit her, Jinzhu screamed in terror and hid in Su Renyi's arms: "My lord..."
Su Renyi instinctively put his arm around Jinzhu and glared at Zhong Shi with displeasure: "What are you doing? She's pregnant!"
He then lowered his eyes and asked Jinzhu, "What medicine do you want to try?"
With Su Renyi protecting Jinzhu, Madam Zhong couldn't step forward anymore. She could only glare at Jinzhu and warn her, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Jinzhu nestled in Su Renyi's arms, looking at Zhong Shi as if she were afraid, but deep in her eyes was mockery: "Last night, the second young lady fed me aphrodisiac, saying she wanted to use me as a test subject."
The moment the words "Drunken Hehuan" were uttered, everyone was stunned.
Everyone knows that the "Drunken Acacia" is the most potent aphrodisiac; without it, people will die. How could the Second Miss have given Jinzhu such a drug?
Zhong's face turned completely black. She gritted her teeth and glared at Jinzhu, wishing she could drag her out of Su Renyi's arms and tear her apart.
Even Su Renyi frowned.
"It's 'Drunken Harmony' again!"
Su Xuening, who was watching the play outside, suddenly spoke up. All the maids and servants turned to look at Su Xuening and automatically moved aside.
The group of people who were making a ruckus inside were also drawn to Su Xuening and looked over.
Under everyone's gaze, Su Xuening stepped into the study: "Yesterday Su Yuxin said I was poisoned by the Drunken Aphrodisiac, and last night Su Feiling fed the Drunken Aphrodisiac to my second uncle's concubine. How come I didn't know? When did our Yong'an Marquis's mansion become that Drunken Aphrodisiac brothel, always doing such filthy things!"
