Chapter 138 Accident (Part 2)

"Amber, you know I'm most confident in you doing the job." Eleventh Lady held Amber's hand, "But I really didn't expect that you would do such a stupid thing." Her voice gradually calmed down, and Amber's frightened heart calmed down all of a sudden.

"Miss, I was wrong!" Comparing the thunder just now with the rain and dew now, she felt more deeply. She was willing to pay any price to exchange for the peace now.

"Then tell me, why do I lose my temper?"

Amber was stunned and remained silent for a while.

Shiyi Niang knew that she was frightened by her sudden attack and had lost her mind for a moment, and could only admit her fault. She stared at her seriously: "It's because you acted on your own!"

Amber was a smart person and understood it immediately.

Since she tested Shi Niang with her clothes, Shiyi Niang relied on her a lot, and she became more and more adept at doing things. Gradually, she became more and more involved. For example, this time, she thought Shiyi Niang would be happy to see the young and beautiful Aunt Qiao being suppressed, so she asked the duty officer to

Ye's maid gave Xiuyuan an ambiguous answer, which made Xiuyuan think that the marquis was about to come back, which led to the peek at the gate.

Eleventh Lady may not dislike such a result.

But you shouldn't make the decision yourself.

No matter what, I am just a maid beside Eleventh Lady!

She forgot her identity!

"Madam..." Her face flushed.

Good to know!

Eleventh Lady nodded secretly.

She still has many difficulties to face, so she must keep her back as solid as a rock.

"Amber, do you know Xiaolan in the Fifth Master's room?"

Amber was stunned.

She didn't know why Shiyi Niang suddenly locked up Xiaolan.

"I know. She was the maidservant that came with the Fifth Madam's dowry. Later, when the Fifth Madam became pregnant, she was taken in as a guest. She is pretty and smart, and is very much loved by the Fifth Master and the Fifth Madam."

Eleventh Lady told Amber about her pregnancy.

Amber's eyes widened. "How could she... The Fifth Lady is also pregnant? This, this... She looks smart, how could she..." She couldn't help but hold Eleventh Lady's hand. "Then, what did the Madam say?"

Whether it is for the sake of the family's peace or the face of the legitimate wife, under normal circumstances, the legitimate son will be born by a concubine or a concubine when he is four or five years old. But wishes are usually good, and no one can avoid accidents. Some families will beat their children, and

Some families would directly deal with the concubines, but most would just give birth to the child. It all depends on the attitude of the elders in the family.

Eleventh Lady answered irrelevantly, "Look, I didn't know there was such a person as Xiaolan, but you didn't know what the Madam and the Marquis meant. If the Madam asked me how to deal with Xiaolan, I would think she was just a concubine, so I would naturally deal with her according to the rules. Besides, you don't know

"I heard from Madam Dao and Lord Hou that if Xiaolan came to you for advice, and you thought this matter would not end well, you would let her secretly beat the child. What do you think will be the consequences for us?"

"But Madam is not such a reckless person, and Xiaolan and I don't have that kind of friendship..." She swallowed the words halfway through. Amber looked at Shiyi Niang with a flickering gaze, as if thinking about something.

Eleventh Lady sighed: "Amber, you know the movements of those maids and old women, but I know the thoughts of the Madam and the Marquis. Tell me, if we discuss everything, who else in this family can take the initiative better than us? Amber, can you

Don’t forget how we got to where we are today step by step!”

"Ma'am, I understand." She was sweating. "I will keep my composure and discuss things with you first."

Eleventh Lady nodded and said with a smile: "I will keep my composure when I encounter problems in the future and discuss things with you if I have any."

"No, no, no." Amber looked ashamed, "I'm not as smart as you!"

"It takes three helpers to be a good man!" Shiyi Niang smiled and told her how she had tested Shiyi Niang, how she had risked her reputation to ask Xiao Liuzi for information, and how she had been going back and forth with Xiang Pozi. "Tell me, what would I do without you?" Amber blushed and felt embarrassed. "That's because Madam is kind and generous. She remembers every little thing."

The two of them chatted back and forth, and although the atmosphere gradually returned to its previous warmth, Amber looked at Shiyi Niang with a little more seriousness.

A maid came to report: "Madam, the Marquis sent someone to say that he will not be back tonight and will stay at the Madam's place. You can go to bed first and there is no need to arrange for someone to wait at the door."

Eleventh Lady was stunned.

and Amber looked at each other.

Then she suddenly thought of a very serious question - should she go to serve Xu Lingyi breakfast tomorrow morning...

The Fifth Lady leaned back on the big red pillow with a tired look on her face.

"Danyang, are you okay?" Fifth Master asked worriedly.

"I'm just a little tired." Madam Wu looked at Master Wu coquettishly, "It's so windy outside. I was afraid of catching a cold, so I left in a hurry just now."

"Really?" Fifth Master immediately asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now?"

Madam Wu nodded: "It's much more comfortable to lie down like this now!"

"Then let me help you massage your legs." Fifth Master said, picking up the beauty massager beside him.

The Fifth Lady sat up and grabbed the beauty's hammer: "How can I let you massage my legs?"

"Why not?" said the Fifth Master. "Aren't you pregnant now?" As soon as he finished speaking, a look of sadness appeared on his face.

"Master, please stop being like this!" The Fifth Lady advised softly, and she stood up and hugged her husband's arm tightly with both hands. "To be honest, it's all my fault. I didn't help you take care of the affairs in the house, so this happened. You lost face in front of mother and the Marquis..."

"Danyang," the Fifth Master held his wife tightly in his arms, "please stop talking... I feel bad when you say that. I'm so sorry for you!" As he said that, he let go of the Fifth Madam and looked straight at his wife, "Danyang, believe me, I really didn't mean that..." His expression was very anxious.

"I know you're not that kind of person." Madam Wu smiled at her husband, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone with you to see Mother and the Marquis today!"

That's true. If Danyang hadn't been there, I don't know how the fourth brother would have dealt with me... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

Danyang pushed him and said, "Master, this matter has finally been resolved. Go wash up and have a rest. You have to go to work early tomorrow morning!"

"Then you take a rest first." Master Wu nodded and went to the bathroom.

Mother Shi, who had been standing by, immediately asked with concern, "Fifth Madam, are you okay?"

"Nothing!" Madam Wu lazily leaned on the pillow, "I was just dragged a few steps when I came to pull the Marquis." She said, "I can't believe that the Marquis, who is usually so gentle, can be so angry. If I hadn't been next to him, the Marquis would have kicked him and he would have been lying in bed for ten days or half a month, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get out of bed."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shi immediately made a gesture to the maids beside her, signaling them to leave. She then personally took the sweet white porcelain apple and handed it to the Fifth Lady: "The Marquis is a soldier, so he is very strong-willed!" She then whispered to the Fifth Lady: "What do the Madam and the Marquis mean?"

"How can the Marquis interfere in such matters!" The Fifth Lady forked an apple and put it in her mouth. "The Madam asked to send her back to her hometown in Henan. I was afraid that the people below would be self-righteous and kill the child along the way, so I kept her." She looked very nonchalant.

Mother Shi couldn't help but worry after hearing this: "But this child..."

"What are you afraid of!" Madam Wu felt that the apple was sweet and crisp today, so she forked another piece. "We just want her to give birth, and it would be best if she can give birth to a son. To set an example for those filthy people who are only interested in climbing into the master's bed. Let's see if having a child can get you to the top in one step, and if you become a concubine, you can call the shots." Having said this, she said "Oh," with a regretful expression, "Why didn't I think of that? I should have asked for grace for her from the lady just now, and made her a concubine at the same time."

Then I thought, "Forget it, I can wait until I have the baby."

Mother Shi was both angry and amused when she heard this, and said angrily: "Do you think this is just a game? It would be best if you gave birth to a son! If it really is a son, he would be the eldest son. Which man doesn't love his eldest son? Look at the Marquis, how good he is to the Second Young Master!"

"That's different." The Fifth Lady disagreed. "At that time, he was the only male child in the Fourth House, and the doctor said that Yuanniang could not have children. Even if there were another son in the future, he would be raised under Yuanniang's name if he was born to a concubine or a concubine. To put it bluntly, there is no difference. But look at Brother Zhe. The Marquis knew that Yuanniang doted on children and raised him like a girl, but he turned a blind eye and finally married a concubine who was only a few years older than his own daughter as his second wife. If you think about it carefully, it's just because he was afraid that Brother Zhe would not grow up, so he would rather be a little bit gentle than a little bit strict." As she said this, she laughed, "I hope that Eleventh Lady will give birth soon, and it would be best if she gave birth to a son, and a healthy one. By then, he will have a brain injury!"

"You kid, you're not afraid of the stage being too high when watching a play."

"It's other people's business, see if there's anything urgent."

When Mother Shi heard her say this, she thought Xiao Xiaolan was here: "...Then how do you think we should place her?"

"Send her back to where we originally lived. Give her two more mothers, four maids, and two nannies to do the rough work." The Fifth Lady sneered, "She must give birth to the child safely and smoothly. It would be best if she grows up to be plump and fair, and shows up in front of the Fifth Master every day. Let the Fifth Master not forget how he got this child and how he gave birth to him!" As for Xiaomei... speaking of the other concubine, "She lives in the same room with Xiaolan, but she has no idea when Xiaolan stopped taking the medicine. I guess she is a simple person without any schemes," the Fifth Lady said sarcastically, "Then send her to serve Xiaolan," the Fifth Lady laughed as she spoke, "but you have to explain it clearly to Xiaomei, Xiaolan is no longer the same as before. Once she gives birth to a child, she will be the first concubine in our family.

Let her serve carefully. If Xiaolan is not satisfied with her at all and upsets our Fifth Master’s flesh and blood, I will have no choice but to hand her over to the human traffickers for punishment.”

"I know," Shi Ma replied with a smile.

They were both concubines, and they secretly stopped taking the medicine while protecting each other. Now one of them is pregnant and will soon become a concubine, while the other has to be a humble servant. The imbalance in their hearts will sooner or later lead to some unexpected behavior.

Seeing that Shi Ma agreed so readily, the Fifth Lady hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong. I want them to fight each other so that Master Wu will feel unhappy. I don't want anything to happen."

"Don't worry, I will send someone to watch over it, and nothing will happen." Shi Ma smiled sternly, "Since you have acted like a wise man in front of the Empress Dowager, you can't lose the big picture for the sake of the small. You must give birth to the child safely."

The Fifth Lady nodded with relief and said, "Let Xiaolan serve the Fifth Master tonight!"
