Su Qingyu thought for a moment and whispered in Zhenzhu's ear, "Go find Wenzhu..."
Su Qingyu never bothered Shen Zhixiu with things she could handle on her own, but if she needed his help, she would never force it.
After Zhenzhu received the order and left, Su Qingyu continued to walk towards Xiangdong's residence with Feicui.
When I reached the small garden, I ran into Chen Wu again. She looked like she had just entered the mansion and was probably planning to meet Li Chaoyun.
The two happened to meet, and Chen Wu perfunctorily saluted Su Qingyu.
"Greetings to Third Aunt."
Su Qingyu gave her a slight support and said, "The young lady is pregnant, so there's no need to be so polite."
Chen Wu asked again, "Where are you going, Auntie San? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "I'm going to go see Aunt Xiang."
Chen Wu had only asked casually, but when she heard Su Qingyu mention going to see Concubine Xiang, she felt a little unhappy. Su Qingyu was eager to visit a lowly concubine. What was there to see?
She thought of the injustice her mother suffered on Shen Zhao's wedding day, and felt even more resentful.
"I haven't been to Aunt Xiang's place yet, why don't I go with Third Aunt to take a look."
Chen Wu was determined to teach Xiangdong a lesson. She wanted to teach her the true duty of a concubine. Anyone who relied on her pregnancy to win favor deserved punishment. Like the two concubines in her mansion who had given birth, they deserved severe punishment.
Su Qingyu thought of what Zhenzhu had just said and glanced at Chen Wu with an inexplicable expression, "Miss, this isn't good, is it? You're a legitimate daughter, how can you go to see a concubine?"
Chen Wu snorted and said sarcastically, "If Third Aunt, the Third Madam of the Shen Family, can go, why can't I?"
Seeing that Chen Wu insisted on going, Su Qingyu said nothing more. It was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with kind words.
The two words of advice she had given her just now were just superficial efforts to leave herself some room for maneuver when something went wrong.
As for how Chen Wu is doing or the baby in her belly, Su Qingyu doesn't care.
In this way, the two of them took their servants to Xiangdong's yard.
When I went in, Xiangdong was lying on the bed, retching, his face as pale as paper.
Chen Wu covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust and sat down on a nanmu chair beside him.
Su Qingyu walked to the bedside and gently patted Xiangdong on the back.
"Why are you vomiting so much? What did the doctor say?"
The maidservant next to her replied, "In reply to Third Madam, the doctor doesn't have any good solutions. He just said to be patient and it will be fine in a month or two."
While the maid went down to fetch water, Su Qingyu helped Xiangdong up. She whispered, "The spices in your room have been tampered with. They've put abortion drugs in them."
"It's not too late for you to regret now."
During her time with Xiangdong, Su Qingyu truly admired her. Even under such circumstances, she was able to maintain her inner thoughts and bottom line. If it were someone else, they would have used her pregnancy to gain favor. After all, for these stewards, being Shen Zhiheng's concubine was considered a great success.
Xiangdong didn't hesitate at all as he shook his head slightly at Su Qingyu. He then glanced at Chen Wu with an inexplicable expression, especially at her belly.
After Su Qingyu helped Xiangdong sit up, Xiangdong apologized weakly to the two of them.
"The Third Madam and the Eldest Miss have come, and I did not go out to greet them. Please forgive me."
Chen Wu rolled his eyes at her and said with disdain, "It's good that you know it. Don't think that you can act tyrannically just because you are pregnant."
"A bastard's child is nothing in the Shen family."
Xiangdong chuckled, "Miss, you can go and tell the master about this. It is the master who values this child the most."
After that, he instructed the maid beside him, "Go and make two cups of the good tea that the master brought yesterday, and bring some candied fruit. The young lady is pregnant too, so she should like it too."
In fact, after scolding Xiangdong, Shen Wu wanted to leave. But she didn't expect Xiangdong to be so arrogant and dare to show off in front of her.
"Madam Xiang, you really think you're such a nobody. Do you think that just because my father dotes on you, you can talk to me like that?"
"You're just a lowly concubine, do you really think you have such a high status?"
Chen Wu, who was about to leave, decided not to leave. He cursed Xiang Dong with every word, feeling very happy.
The servants brought up tea and preserves, but Chen Wu didn't even look at them. She was pregnant, so she wouldn't be so careless as to eat and drink in Xiangdong's yard.
Chen Wu cursed indignantly, and Xiang Dong replied coldly. The two of them went back and forth like this for a quarter of an hour, making Chen Wu's chest heave with anger.
Su Qingyu sat on the side and watched coldly. She saw Xiangdong's deep meaning, so she didn't say a word of advice.
Su Qingyu never showed any mercy to her enemies or those who intended to stab her in the back. She was afraid that if she showed even a little mercy, God would scold her for being useless.
After a while, Xiangdong suddenly covered his stomach and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Su Qingyu had been staring at her and noticed something was wrong with her. She hurried forward to support her, "Aunt Xiang, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Wu was also stunned when he saw this, thinking Xiang Dong was pretending.
"Don't try to scare me. I didn't touch you. You can't blame me for your stomachache."
Xiangdong was no longer able to argue with Shen Wu as she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Seeing that Xiangdong didn't seem to be faking it, Chen Wu stepped forward to take a look and shouted, "Go call the doctor."
Although she hoped that something bad would happen to Xiangdong's child, she didn't want to cause trouble to herself. If the child really died because of her anger, her father would not forgive her.
Chen Wu had just sent someone to call a doctor when he subconsciously covered his stomach and asked, "Why does my stomach hurt too?"
She sat aside, the pain in her lower abdomen becoming more and more intense. The maids around Chen Wu were terrified, some saying they would go find the lady, and some saying they would go call the doctor again.
Xiang Dong looked at Su Qingyu and said meaningfully, "Madam, go check on the eldest lady and help her lie down on the small couch for a while so that the doctor can take her pulse."
Next to the small couch, an auspicious animal incense burner was burning calming incense.
Su Qingyu walked to Chen Wu calmly and ordered several maids to help Chen Wu lie down on the small couch by the window.
The maids had no idea, so they naturally did whatever Su Qingyu said.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Doctor Zhang, the court physician, hurried over.
Seeing that both Concubine Xiang and the eldest daughter were suffering from abdominal pain, Doctor Zhang was a little embarrassed and didn't know whose pulse to take first.
It was Concubine Xiang who spoke up, "Doctor Zhang, please see the eldest lady first. The baby in her belly is precious."
Doctor Zhang looked at Su Qingyu in embarrassment. Seeing Su Qingyu nodded slightly, he hurriedly knelt beside the small couch and took Chen Wu's pulse.
