The maids in the yard were in an uproar. They didn't expect that they were going to kick Aunt Cui out today, but Song Wanning intervened and they had to take the blame for the concubine.
This plan could have been a meticulous one, but neither Mrs. Wang nor Wen Tingbo had expected that sending a concubine would be blocked by Song Wanning, thus ruining the plan.
Seeing everyone taking the blame on Wang, Song Wanning understood. After all, Madam Wang was the mistress of the mansion, and the servants would never dare betray her. Now that the truth had been revealed, she could only take the blame herself.
However, Song Wanning also had to give this face. Now that she was still a member of the Marquis' Mansion, she had to give Madam Wang face again. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the face was torn apart.
Song Wanning stood up and said coldly to the kneeling Yuchan, "You are now in the Madam's room, so I can't punish you. But what you did is really abominable. Just go back to the Madam and accept your punishment."
"Thank you grandma for your kindness, thank you grandma for your kindness." Yuchan said, kowtowed twice to the ground.
Song Wanning's gaze remained indifferent as she swept across the faces of the maids and servants in the courtyard. She simply said, "Now that the truth of the matter has been revealed, let's all go. When we return to the mistress's courtyard, remember to tell her the whole story and don't let her wrongly accuse Concubine Cui."
Madam Liu, the leader, was already distracted, but she still followed the rules politely. "Grandma is right. We will go back and report to Madam."
After everyone had left, Cui Xiaoxiao was still kneeling on the ground, motionless. Perhaps she was frightened. Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Auntie, since you are fine now, why do you need to kneel? Just get up quickly and don't hurt yourself."
Song Wanning remembered that Cui Xiaoxiao was currently taking the pregnancy prescription, and she might be pregnant. If she kneeled on the ground and hurt the child, it would be more trouble than it would take. Cui Xiaoxiao being pregnant was a good thing for Song Wanning.
"Yes... yes, thank you grandma." Cui Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and was about to stand up, but she didn't know why she had been kneeling for too long, so she staggered twice and fell to the ground again.
When Song Wanning saw Cui Xiaoxiao fainted, she quickly looked at the maid outside and said, "Come here, Aunt Cui has fainted. Help her into the house to rest and ask a doctor to come and see her."
"Yes." Seven or eight maids ran in and helped the fainted concubine into the bedroom, and then hurriedly went outside to find a doctor.
When Cui Xiaoxiao woke up, only Tianxiang was guarding her, and there was a doctor sitting at the table writing a prescription.
Cui Xiaoxiao was confused about the situation and looked at Tianxiang and asked, "What happened? Did I faint outside?"
Tianxiang nodded, and then a smile spread across her face. She looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Auntie. Congratulations, Auntie. Everything you have thought about has come true."
"What?" Cui Xiaoxiao looked at her belly in disbelief. She touched her belly, which hadn't bulged yet, and exclaimed, "I'm pregnant? I can get pregnant so soon?"
Tianxiang nodded. "The doctor just said that Auntie is indeed pregnant. However, the doctor also said that the baby is still young and the fetus is unstable. Auntie should rest well and take some nourishing medicine."
"Great, great. This way, this child will be my life-saving talisman." Cui Xiaoxiao half-sat up and looked at the doctor writing the prescription over there, saying happily, "Give the doctor some money. The doctor saved my life."
Tianxiang nodded and went outside to give the doctor some money as a tip. "Doctor, you've been busy all day. Now that my aunt is pregnant, I specially invite you to have some tea."
"Thank you very much." The doctor put down the prescription, took the money and continued to do the work, only advising, "Auntie, you are pregnant now, so you must not get angry. You must take good care of yourself. This is your first child, so it must be difficult to take care of it. It will be fine if you don't move around too much."
Cui Xiaoxiao responded repeatedly and looked at Tianxiang again, "Hurry up and tell the Second Master, let him come to see me. Don't tell the Second Master that I'm pregnant yet. I want to tell him in person and let him know that I'm pregnant with his child."
Tianxiang responded and went out to find Wen Tingbo in the study, and the news soon reached Wen Tingbo's ears.
Wen Tingbai listened to his personal servant's story and found it hard to believe. He asked in surprise, "What? Aunt Cui wasn't kicked out?"
"That's right. Second Madam found out that the bracelet wasn't stolen by Concubine Cui. It turned out that the maid in Madam Cui's room was jealous of Concubine Cui's favor and deliberately framed her." Xiao Si, who came to report, was amazed and almost told the story as exciting as an opera. "Second Madam Cui is really a genius. Otherwise, Concubine Cui would have been wrongly accused by that little maid. Now that Concubine Cui has fainted, Second Madam, do you want to go and see her? I'm afraid Concubine Cui is still waiting for you to see her."
Wen Tingbai was upset when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Song Wanning would actually excuse Cui Xiaoxiao instead of taking the opportunity to kick her out of the house. But he really couldn't understand why Song Wanning helped Cui Xiaoxiao now when they had always been enemies.
No matter what, since Song Wanning has married him, she has to live her life whether it is good or bad.
Wen Tingbai asked in a low voice, "What about Second Madam? How is Second Madam?"
When Xiao Si heard Wen Tingbai's question, he quickly explained and kept praising Song Wanning to Wen Tingbai, "Second Madam went back to the courtyard to rest after she had dealt with the aunt's case. She even hired a doctor to see the aunt. Our Second Madam is truly kind-hearted."
Wen Tingbo slapped his head and couldn't figure out why Song Wanning was now siding with Cui Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Wen Tingbai's reaction, Xiao Si quickly came up with another idea. He looked at Wen Tingbai and said, "Someone from the aunt's courtyard just came to call her. Second Master, do you want to go and take a look?"
"What are you looking at? What's there to see? I'm very busy now." Wen Tingbo impatiently refused to look at Cui Xiaoxiao.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Cui from the West Courtyard looked a little upset. She said timidly, "How could you not come to see me? Even after such a big thing happened, you didn't come to see me."
Cui Xiaoxiao said this and sat down on the stool with a sigh. She knew in her heart that Wen Tingbai probably wanted to kick her out now, so how could he want to come to see her.
Tianxiang saw that Cui Xiaoxiao was worried, so she offered some advice, "Auntie, if the Second Master knew you were pregnant with his child, he would definitely come even if he had something very important to do."
"No." Cui Xiaoxiao now had a new idea. Looking at Tianxiang, she said, "This child is now my life-saving talisman, my last trump card. I have to wait until the last moment to tell you."
