"Mother, you are knowledgeable, tell me how to separate these two?" Madam Cheng asked anxiously, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. Her voice was filled with fear and helplessness as she looked at Granny Lu almost pleadingly.
"Madam, in my opinion, perhaps applying some lubricant to the place where we intercourse would work."
Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in Madam Cheng's eyes. She urgently asked, "What can I use? Granny, go and fetch it quickly! Don't delay!"
Granny Lu dismissed the maids and servants who had come back with her, then hurriedly fetched a box of hair oil from the First Madam's room and ran back.
Even though she was an old head housekeeper, she couldn't help but blush upon seeing this.
The eldest son has always been a scoundrel, but who would have thought that he would dare to have an affair with his stepmother in his own mother's courtyard.
I don't know what sins the lady committed to raise such a beast!
Although Granny Lu was cursing inwardly, she still had to pretend to be concerned on the surface.
"Young Master, we really can't find a better way right now. Could you try moving it a little and see if you can separate them?"
Cheng Shujie was delicate and pampered since childhood and could not bear any grievances. At this moment, with the slightest exertion, he screamed in pain.
Seeing this, Granny Lu hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, "Oh dear, my little darling! You mustn't make a sound. There are servants all outside. If you shout, won't the whole mansion know about this shameful thing? We'll all be in deep trouble!"
Cheng Shujie swallowed his painful screams, sweating profusely from the pain, and pleaded in a tearful voice, "Granny, the pain is unbearable, do you have any other way to save me!"
Madam Cheng was also extremely anxious. "Granny, please think of another way!"
With a determined heart, Granny Lu poured out the last bit of hair oil she had left, and then said to Cheng Shujie, "Young Master, if we can't separate now, we'll all be in danger when Master returns! Madam and I will be holding Sixth Concubine's hand, so you must grit your teeth and bear it."
Upon hearing these words, Cheng Shujie turned pale with fright and nodded frantically, as if pounding garlic.
Fearing he would cry out again, Granny Lu grabbed Song Qing'er's bodice and stuffed it into his mouth to gag him.
During the struggle, Cheng Shujie was in so much pain that he almost fainted. His mouth was tightly blocked, and he couldn't make a sound. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him, and he could suffocate at any moment.
After a long and painful struggle, the two finally separated.
At this moment, all four people inside the room were drenched in sweat.
Granny Lu was the first to recover. Ignoring her own condition, she rushed forward to help Madam Cheng, who had collapsed to the ground.
"Madam, dawn is approaching. What should we do about this?"
Faced with this chaotic situation, the First Madam frowned, and the veins on her forehead throbbed with extreme anger and a headache.
After a long silence, she finally spoke wearily, instructing, "Quickly select a few reliable people and, under the cover of night, secretly send this wretched woman back. As for Shujie, first clean this place up, then try to find a doctor to carefully examine his injuries. Remember, this matter must not be leaked in the slightest, otherwise none of us will have a good ending!"
After all, he was her own son, and although she was furious, she had no choice but to clean up his mess.
As for that little slut Song Qing'er, I'll spare her life for now. When I find an opportunity, I'll definitely sell her off far away to vent my hatred!
After working for most of the night, I finally got things roughly done.
A maidservant came to deliver a message, saying that there had been a commotion in the second branch of the Cheng family all night.
Madam Cheng the Second was shouting and yelling inside the house, making a huge scene.
Although the servants in the mansion dared not speak openly, they were all gossiping and speculating about what had happened last night.
"The second master drank too much last night. When he returned home, they found that he had something extra in his arms. The second madam is furious."
"What is that? Why is the Second Madam angry?"
The servant shook his head mysteriously and whispered, "I don't know either. I only heard that it was a woman's underwear. The second master refused to admit it and was so angry that he kept cursing, saying that someone was deliberately framing him."
Meanwhile, Madam Cheng was sitting in her room, her face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.
Although she temporarily suppressed the scandal involving Cheng Shujie and Song Qing'er last night, she remained uneasy.
She used to listen to the second wife's antics as amusement, but now she couldn't take in a single word.
"Alright, alright! Get out of here and stop bothering me with these things!" She waved her hand impatiently, shooing the maid away.
