The news of the pregnancy at the Marquis of Changning's mansion soon became a hot topic among the people.
The Marquis has gone to war, but the concubine is pregnant?
There is a lot to say here!
However, the doctor invited by Shen Ruoyan determined that Zhuhong had been pregnant for more than a month. In other words, the child was conceived before Marquis Changning went to war, but the concubine was careless and did not discover it until now.
Because of this, when the doctor from the Marquis of Changning's Mansion went to get the pregnancy-preserving medicine, he did not arouse anyone's suspicion.
This matter was too strange, and the public explanation could not stop Youyou from talking. The gossipers spread the matter to everyone, and everyone knew that the concubine in the Changning Marquis's mansion became pregnant after he left!
"Is it really not a big deal if there's talk like this out there?"
Fang Rou came to Madam Lu and served her tea. She rushed to do the servant's work just to make a presence in the old lady's place and stay.
If Zhuhong's matter became a hot topic, it would not be a good thing for the women in the Marquis' Mansion.
She is also a concubine in the mansion, so it is normal for her to worry.
"It was Ruoyan who leaked this information. She knows her limits." Old Madam Lu didn't intend to say much. Deep down, she looked down on Fang Rou. The more she did, the more she despised Fang Rou's humble attitude.
Unlike Shen Ruoyan, who came from a prominent family, his behavior was different.
I didn't see it often before, so I didn't notice it much. But now, it's becoming more and more obvious.
"It's hard to control the people's mouths." Fang Rou could see that Old Madam Lu was unhappy, but she pretended not to see it and continued to talk to herself, "If this is not controlled well, the reputations of the girls in the mansion will be ruined..."
This worry is not without reason.
Rumors are not something that can be stopped just because you want them to.
If Fang Rou brought up this matter just now out of genuine concern, then now she was simply trying to take advantage of the situation.
Shen Ruoyan is not a very good mistress!
I don't know what he was thinking when he would actively spread such embarrassing things. I'm afraid he must have read too much and his brain has become stupid!
How could Mrs. Lu not understand Fang Rou's meaning? At the beginning, she had even more concerns than Fang Rou.
Not to mention the girl from the Lu family, even the girls from her mother's family would be implicated in this matter if they were not careful.
Which girl from a good family would have an affair with an outsider?
Not to mention the noble families, even for ordinary people, this kind of thing is extremely shameful!
"It's better to open up than to block. In this world, there is no impenetrable wall, and paper will eventually reveal the truth. Instead of waiting for others to find out and spread nonsense, it is better to take the initiative in your own hands first, so that you can have more control."
Shen Ruoyan took the initiative to announce the news. In the eyes of some people, this is a sign of being upright and not afraid of being criticized.
Otherwise, the Changning Marquis Mansion would definitely keep it secret and would never dare let others know about it.
Besides, Shen Ruoyan is the mistress of the house. If such a scandal really happened to the concubine in the mansion, she would definitely beat her to death!
How could he protect a concubine?
These "rational" remarks continued to spread among the crowd. The people did not believe what the Marquis said, but believed their own guesses - everyone thought they were smart and could see through the essence of things.
"Yes, there must be nothing wrong with the Changning Marquis's Mansion, otherwise why would they go to such great lengths to ask a doctor for medicine?"
"Yeah, I think only idiots would believe everything they hear. These wealthy families have very strict rules!"
The Changning Marquis's residence was open and honest, never hiding anything from others when inviting doctors. The question was that the concubine's pregnancy was unstable and needed to be carefully taken care of.
Everyone said that the wife of the Marquis of Changning was kind-hearted and even cared so much about the children of her concubines. For a time, Shen Ruoyan became a living Bodhisattva in everyone's hearts.
Even the concubines in other wealthy families were envious and wished Shen Ruoyan could be their mistress!
"Sister, now no one outside says that you are a child of bad origin." Liu Lu's face was full of joy. She had been paying attention to the situation outside. When her sister was questioned in the beginning, she wanted to go into battle herself and curse at those people!
Fortunately, they managed to keep the secret from these people and they no longer suspected anything.
Zhuhong was worried and didn't look relaxed.
"Sister, don't you think this matter is a little too strange?" In the past few days, Zhuhong has been recalling what happened. She always feels that the reason why Mrs. Lu recognized the child so easily was not because she believed in her.
And the mistress's attitude is also very intriguing.
No matter how generous she was, she shouldn't be indifferent to the concubine's child, especially when the prince was a mute.
Even if the mistress was ruthless to the Marquis, offspring were still a force of strength for women in the mansion. Since she wanted to control the mansion, she would not tolerate the emergence of other forces to challenge her authority.
No matter how humble your status is, once this child is born, he will be a legitimate young master of a marquisate - Madam, do you really not care?
Zhu Hong felt that something was wrong. Everyone thought that Shen Ruoyan was dignified and generous. Because she came from a scholarly family, she was as quiet as a chrysanthemum.
But someone who is truly indifferent to fame and fortune would not manage the marquis's mansion in such an orderly manner.
She didn't care about the baby in her belly, if she wasn't completely disappointed in the Marquis and had no hope in the Marquis's Mansion... then it was because she knew clearly that her child would not pose any threat to her!
Because there was no threat, she didn't care - she didn't believe it!
The crisis surged towards Zhuhong like a tide. For some reason, she always felt that her idea was right!
It's not that she didn't have a lucky mentality, but all this was too unusual!
"Sister, it's not right! It shouldn't be like this!" Zhuhong's eyes were a little red because she didn't get enough rest. Looking at Liulu at this moment, the person who was usually calm and composed now seemed inexplicably a little flustered.
Liu Lu was frightened and quickly supported her, "Sister, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
"They didn't believe it. From the very beginning, neither the old lady nor the lady believed that the child was the Marquis's!" If Zhuhong was just guessing just now, then now she was certain.
Liu Lu was horrified. "How is that possible? If they didn't believe you, why would they hire a doctor for you and keep you well fed and well fed?"
If a concubine has an affair with an outsider and gets pregnant, she will be beaten to death in any family!
They took such a big risk to do this just to take a gamble!
Now even the rumors outside have disappeared, but my sister said that all this is fake. Liu Lu didn't want to believe it, and she couldn't figure it out: "Madam Lu and Madam are not stupid, why would they do this?"
