"You mean, she's trying to use me as a scapegoat?" Wu narrowed her eyes. She certainly was. Meng was pregnant now, and not only had she reclaimed everyone's power, she was also trying to sever their hopes of serving the prince. She was also hoping to take advantage of the princess's pregnancy to find more opportunities to get close to the prince, and only by giving birth to another young master would she truly establish herself. Wu slammed the table, "Meng, you're going too far! You can have your own child, why are you trying to stop us?"
Hu looked at Wu's expression and stepped forward to pour her a cup of tea. "Don't be angry, Concubine. Perhaps I was wrong. After all, the eldest daughter is not the only child in the mansion."
Wu snorted coldly, "But I'm the only one whose biological mother is still alive. I know, it must be like this. She's going to make a move, and she'll come after me first. Firstly, I gave birth to a daughter, so I'm easier to deal with. Secondly, those two young masters are legitimate children after all, and neither of them has a mother. If she can establish her authority through me, it won't be a problem for them."
Mrs. Hu sighed, "What exactly does the princess want? I can't believe it. She doesn't even know whether it's a boy or a girl, and she dares to take action now? Besides..."
Seeing that Hu was hesitant to speak, Wu said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it. You're so annoying when you hesitate."
"Yes, this old servant is just thinking that the princess should be less than four months pregnant at most. Although the fetus is stable, anything is possible. First of all, it's hard to say whether the baby can be born or not. It can only be born safely, but who knows whether it can be raised. Concubine Li's son is already more than half a year old... The princess is too impatient. If she really has such thoughts, she must make sure her son is firmly established."
Mrs. Wu nodded. Yes, Meng Qi was too anxious. Could it be that she was sure of something?
Mrs. Hu rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and sighed, "The princess is truly unpredictable. She's pregnant, but she didn't announce it to the family. Instead, she went back to her parents' home to check her pulse, or the news came back from outside. She's wary of everyone in the palace. And rightly so. She's been married for over a year and finally conceived a baby, so she has to treasure it. If she accidentally miscarries, her support will be gone. If that day ever comes, she won't be able to show off in front of you and the others."
After saying this, he glanced at Wu, who looked as if she understood everything. "It's a pity that our Jinzhi was the one who got caught up in the act, and ended up being dragged out by the princess to criticize everyone in the inner court. Alas, what's the point of using a maid as a scapegoat? That's too narrow-minded."
Wu frowned upon hearing this. Starting with Jinzhi, wasn't that bullying her because she was just a concubine? Xiaolin had the eldest young master at her disposal and the Lin family behind her. Li had no children and was a quiet woman, so it wouldn't have any impact on her.
So, she reached out to herself and took action against Yinyan Pavilion. She didn't want to bully others like this.
Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. Wu's flushed cheeks, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Also, this old servant heard a piece of news that I haven't told you yet. I originally thought that maybe it was just a casual mention, but now I think about it, I'm afraid..."
Wu raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Hu leaned in closer. "The eldest young lady has been going to the outer courtyard more often recently, and I've also been chatting a lot with Mrs. Zhao, who is by the Second Young Master's side. I heard that the princess said a while ago that she would move the Second Young Master to the outer courtyard once it gets warmer."
"What? So early? The second young master is only a few years old." Mrs. Wu was surprised.
"Not only that, he also said that he would choose a place in the backyard and let the young lady go there."
Mrs. Wu stood up again. "What does Mrs. Meng mean? She won't let the young lady live in Yinyan Pavilion anymore? The young lady is still so young, how can she live alone?"
"Yes, this old servant thinks so too. If you let the eldest lady live alone now, she will no longer be so close to the concubine every day. As time goes by, I'm afraid that the eldest lady will become alienated from you. That's not a good thing." Mrs. Hu said with great sorrow.
No, I can't let the princess bully me like this. As the saying goes, there is a first day and a fifteenth day, and there is a first time and a second time.
Wu walked to the window. "The eldest daughter is my bottom line." "You are so shameless, Meng. You touched my maid and made me lose face. I admit it. But you want to touch my daughter? No way."
Mrs. Hu looked at Mrs. Wu who was standing there angrily, and walked up to her and said a few words.
Mrs. Wu was surprised at first, then fell into deep thought, and finally smiled and nodded.
