Chapter 388
After a while, Yunxi finally regained some of her strength. She turned her head and saw that Madam Zheng was sitting to the side, so she quickly forced herself to get up and bow to her.
Madam Zheng quickly pressed her down with her hand: "Alright, alright, let's not be so formal now!"
Yunxi lay back down following her force and said weakly, "I feel really bad for troubling you, Madam, to make this special trip."
“Don’t say such things,” Zheng said. “You’ve suffered so much, I’m heartbroken for you. It’s only a short walk, how could I not come?”
Yunxi forced a smile.
"By the way, you lie down first, I'll have someone call Zirong back right away."
"No," Yunxi quickly said, "Madam, I'm fine now. The young master has been busy lately, so it's best not to let him know."
“You silly child,” Zheng sighed, tucking the blanket around her. “Fine, since you’ve said so, we’ll do as you say.”
After saying that, Madam Zheng turned her head and said, "Mama Zhou, you go and invite the young mistress over yourself. I'll meet her downstairs."
Mrs. Zhou responded and left.
Madam Zheng looked at Yunxi again and softened her voice, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
She needed an explanation not only for Yunxi, but also for herself.
The Marquis of Changping's family has few heirs, and Yunxi finally became pregnant. She will not allow anyone to have any improper thoughts about her.
Yunxi forced a smile: "To make such a fuss over my matter, and to trouble Madam to do all this personally..."
Madam Zheng patted her hand, stopping her from speaking: "The young mistress will be here soon, you should rest well."
"yes."
"Dr. Wei, thank you for making the trip. Please come down and have a cup of tea."
"yes."
Madam Zheng got up and left. Jixiang walked a few steps to the bedside, turned to Le'an and said, "Le'an, go and ask someone to get some warm water. Come back and wipe your aunt's body."
Le'an nodded and turned to leave.
Only the master and servant remained upstairs.
Jixiang sighed and lowered her voice, saying, "Now that things have developed to this point, the young mistress can't escape responsibility."
The real focus of this whole affair was the maid who delivered the tonic soup.
If that maid stood there openly and didn't leave, they would be in trouble. But Yunxi was certain that Yunwan had said a lot of unpleasant things behind her back, even cursed her. If something happened to her, that maid would definitely feel guilty and run away with the tonic soup. Even if Yunwan was eloquent, it wouldn't matter.
After all, Yunxi was just a concubine and had no power. Not all of the people in Jibai Juli were truly obedient to her. On the contrary, many of them were just doing their duty as servants because of Shen Rang and the child in her womb. It was precisely because of this that they were able to act as witnesses.
Yunxi's complexion had not fully recovered, so Jixiang stopped talking and quietly stood guard to the side.
——
Soon after, Yun Wan arrived.
She came in a great hurry, her face showing forced composure.
"Mother-in-law".
Yunwan curtsied, but the usually easygoing and kind-hearted Madam Zheng did not immediately tell her to get up: "I heard that ever since you learned that Auntie was pregnant, you have been sending her nourishing soups from time to time?"
