Chapter 393 Yixiu 11
"Nothing, I was just chatting with Sister Gan. Sister Gan was teasing me about how lazy I've become lately."
Rouze smiled gently, "What's the big deal? The roads are slippery in the snow. I was planning to postpone the greetings every five days to the tenth day, and the time can be later. After all, we are all family sisters, so there is no need to be too harsh on such things."
"Fujin is so kind, and I am so grateful to her."
Since she had received the benefit, Yixiu didn't mind saying a few nice words. With her leading the charge, the others naturally followed suit, their compliments flowing like tears of gratitude, regardless of whether they were sincere or not.
Only Gan had a scornful smile on her face. Li, who was dissatisfied with her, saw it and glared at her, saying, "Why does it seem to me that Sister Gan doesn't seem to appreciate the kindness shown by Lady Fu?"
"How could that be? Please don't accuse me for no reason, Li Gege. I just thought of a joke and found it funny."
Gan was joking but looking at Rouze, clearly provoking her.
Rouze frowned, already irritated by the other party's pestering these days. Seeing her look, she couldn't help but frown. She wanted to ignore it, but Li Shi was not one to read expressions and kept asking, "What joke is so funny that it made you lose your mind in front of the wife? If you were in front of the prince, would you be so rude?"
"It's just a joke. I laughed at it, but Lord Beile wouldn't be so petty as to hate others' happiness. What do you think, Fu Jin?"
Gan deliberately tilted her body to face Rouze, then feigned surprise and said, "Oh, I didn't even notice it just now. Fu Jin, do you have spots on your face? Even with all this heavy powder on, it can't really cover them up."
Everyone subconsciously looked upwards following Gan's gaze. Even Yixiu was stunned for a moment. She turned her head to take a closer look and realized that Rouze's complexion was indeed not very good.
However, it was the same when she was pregnant with this child in her previous life. In this life, it was probably because I threw the housekeeper power to her. In addition, Gan was always annoying and jumping around from time to time. In this life, I didn't give her the peach kernel tea that damaged the fetus. Just being pregnant was enough to make her suffer.
However, Gan's reaction was actually exaggerated. With her Rouze beauty, such a little haggardness did not detract from her perfection at all, and even made her more charming.
But Rouze herself was probably not completely unconcerned. Her expression visibly stiffened for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.
"Pregnancy is not easy. Sister Gan has never experienced it, so naturally she can't understand."
Wow, her sister has made great progress after taking care of the household for a few months.
Yixiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of almond tea, watching the two of them fighting and arguing with each other with her bright eyes.
"I am not blessed, but I know it is not easy for a woman to get pregnant. That is why I am worried about your health. I wonder if you can handle such a great blessing~"
"How dare you, Concubine, speak disrespectfully to the Concubine? Kneel down!"
Nanny Yun suddenly attacked, catching everyone off guard. Yixiu's eyes flashed when she saw this. She calculated the date and suddenly found an interesting point. She wondered if there would be such a coincidence in her life.
Gan obviously did not expect that the wife would really punish her in public. Her face turned blue and red, and she bulged her eyes and refused to give in. However, Nanny Yun still sent people to force her to kneel outside.
"Fujin is pregnant now, please don't get angry over such a trivial matter."
As the person with the highest status in the room besides the wife, he naturally had to cooperate with her when she got angry. He immediately led everyone to stand up and salute:
"Please calm down, Madam."
"Well, all of you get up."
Rouze sat at the head of the table, reprimanding the people below with unprecedented authority, who all had different expressions on their faces: "The concubine was disrespectful and offended her superiors. I have tolerated her repeatedly because of our old friendship, but I didn't expect that I would condone her mistakes again and again. Today, I will punish her with a small punishment and give her a big warning. I hope you will learn from this and not follow her example in the future."
"I will follow your Madam's instructions."
When Yixiu and the others left, Gan was still kneeling in the aisle, accompanied by Miao, who was tearfully talking to Nanny Yun, who stood opposite her, as if pleading for mercy. Yixiu could tell from the other woman's deadpan expression that the talk wasn't going very well.
This is no wonder. Nanny Yun had a special status in the mansion because she was the concubine's wet nurse. Later, after she returned the housekeeping power, she and two maids helped the concubine to manage the affairs. If Gan had not caught this matter and severely criticized her last month, forcing the concubine to do everything herself, I am afraid she would still be in charge of the whole family now.
I'm afraid she also had the idea behind punishing Gan in public this time.
What a pity! Normally this method would be ruthless, but now...
Looking at the already shaky Gan, Yixiu swore with her transformed eyesight that she had seen a dazzling blush appear on the white snow.
"Let's go quickly. The wind and snow are a bit strong today. I feel a little uncomfortable."
Yixiu was supported by the two and hurried back to Zhixinzhai. Soon Jiang Fuhai from her courtyard went to call for a doctor, and then everyone knew that Concubine Jin had caught a cold on the way to pay her respects to Concubine Jin.
But no one cares about this now, because another explosive news resounded throughout the backyard of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The good-hearted Concubine who had never punished anyone in a thousand years had just picked a pregnant concubine and had her kneel in the snow in public, causing her to have her period...
More than two months of pregnancy was lost just by kneeling down, and after kneeling in the snow for two hours, Gan was already ruined.
But for Concubine De and Yinzhen, the real tricky part of this matter was no longer this woman and that innocent child.
But it was because there was unrest in his harem that such a scandal happened during the New Year!
Yinzhen has been frowning since he heard the news. He naturally would not doubt Rouze's character, but he could not help but feel a little dissatisfied.
Even his wife, Rouze, couldn't manage such a simple harem, and now he has to divide his attention to find ways to take care of her at such an important juncture.
If the timing hadn't been so perfect, Yinzhen wouldn't have cared at all. But because the timing was so perfect, even he couldn't help but feel a little bit of agreement with his mother's advice when he saw her unconscious and in chaos in the harem.
Fu Jin...your methods are still too immature.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen pressed his throbbing forehead and whispered to Xiyu, who was trembling beside him: "Where is Yixiu? Your master is in such a state now, why don't you ask her to take care of it first?"
"...She has caught a cold and says she can't get up."
