Chapter 1225: Is the lady going crazy?
Mo Ju lifted the car curtain and looked out.
The road ahead is still congested and crowded with people.
Mo Ju didn't know why, but she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that if you approach your destination a little later, you won't have to face the upcoming changes.
"Miss, are you really going to the Xia family?" Mo Ju asked with a troubled look on her face, "From your current appearance, my aunt will be able to tell at a glance that you are pregnant. By then..."
"What will happen then?" Zou Shuqin leaned against a large pillow and said lazily, "Could it be that my belly is too shameful to show to others?"
Mo Ju: "..."
Of course it is shameful!
But she didn't dare say it.
She was afraid that the young lady would get angry.
Zou Shuqin fiddled with the silver hairpin in her hand as she spoke, and then added, "My cousin is going out, so as her cousin, I naturally have to go and add some boxes."
After saying that, he threw the silver hairpin in his hand aside.
Then, she reached out and touched her belly, with an expression of incomparable tenderness on her face.
"This is the child of the Third Young Master and me, the legitimate grandson of the Bai family. Naturally, we must be honored and bear the Bai family's surname!" Zou Shuqin continued slowly, "You think you can send me away just because I'm a concubine? You're simply dreaming!"
Mo Ju shuddered.
When Zou Shuqin finished speaking, the gentle expression on her face turned ferocious in an instant.
Even his eyeballs were bulging out.
Mo Ju subconsciously shrank back.
Ever since the young lady became pregnant, she has become more and more moody.
"Miss, if you do this, what if the Third Young Master gets angry?" Mo Ju bravely whispered, "The Third Young Master didn't know you were going to the Bai Mansion today..."
Mo Ju could naturally see the shock, anger and disbelief on Bai Shuzhi's face when he was called over by the eldest lady and saw Zou Shuqin.
Although Bai Shuzhi quickly adjusted his expression and began to speak for the young lady, Mo Ju still felt uneasy.
"Miss, you have always told the Third Young Master that you don't want any status, as long as you can stay by his side..." Mo Ju said timidly.
Zou Shuqin gritted her teeth and said with a ferocious expression, "I said no, and he won't give it to me?! I'm pregnant with his child, and he didn't even go to the Xia family to break off the engagement! He didn't even slap Xia Siya in the face... If he won't go, I'll go myself! I'll make Xia Siya the laughingstock of the whole world..."
Zou Shuqin became more and more crazy as she spoke, her eyes full of excitement.
"I want to tell Xia Siya in person that I'm pregnant with her fiancé's child! Her man has long been mine... Hahaha..."
Zou Shuqin said this and laughed shrilly.
"I want her to see my belly with her own eyes. I want to tell her that this is her man's child... Hahahaha... Didn't she look down on me in the beginning? Didn't she laugh at me in the beginning? Now that I've snatched his man away, I wonder how she feels... Hahahaha..."
Zou Shuqin's laughter suddenly stopped, her expression changed rapidly, and her face was full of viciousness.
Moreover, he reached out and picked up the silver hairpin that he had just thrown aside, and stabbed it fiercely into a pillow in the carriage.
He said fiercely, "I will take away all of Xia Siya's things! I will ruin her reputation! I will make sure she can never get married again! I will make her ashamed to face people! I will make it impossible for her to stay in the capital! I will turn her into an old maid that everyone laughs at..."
The more Zou Shuqin spoke, the faster her hands moved.
The delicate green cushion embroidered with peony flowers was pierced by the shiny silver hairpin, revealing the white cotton inside.
Cotton fluff was flying everywhere, and Mo Ju was so scared that she couldn't help but shrink back.
Especially when he saw the silver hairpin in Zou Shuqin's hand pricking the pillow again and again, he felt a tingling sensation in his arm.
Is the lady really going crazy?
When Mo Ju thought of the eldest young master of the Zou family, a chill crept into her heart.
At this time, the carriage finally started moving.
When he stopped again, he was already outside the Xia family's door.
The Xia family’s mansion in the capital is not very big.
After all, land in the inner city of the capital is extremely expensive. To own a spacious and comfortable house, one needs not only money but also opportunity.
When Su Laosan wanted to buy a house near the Imperial Examination Hall, he spent a lot of time looking for one but still couldn't find a suitable one.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianxi awarded Tang Bao the former Prince Rui's Mansion near the Imperial Examination Hall.
Zou Shuqin was about to get off the car when a nanny's voice came from outside.
"Miss Zou, the eldest lady invites Miss Zou to come to her house to discuss an important matter."
Zou Shuqin was stunned.
Mo Ju quickly opened the car door.
Outside the carriage, the confidante of the eldest lady knelt down respectfully when she saw Zou Shuqin.
"Hello, Miss Zou."
Zou Shuqin's expression changed.
Her eyes passed over the nanny and looked at the several sturdy old women and several strong servants behind her.
Zou Shuqin's heart sank.
"You're too polite, Ma'am. I just came from the eldest lady's place. I don't know if there's anything else you want to tell me." Zou Shuqin's expression had returned to its gentle and virtuous look as she asked.
The nanny said respectfully, "Please forgive me, Miss Zou. I don't know about the master's affairs. The eldest lady just ordered me to ask Miss Zou to go back and not to neglect her. After all—"
The nanny paused, glanced at Zou Shuqin's belly, and said, "Miss Zou is of noble status. We must not let anything go wrong."
"In that case, I don't mind the time it takes." Zou Shuqin said softly, "My cousin and I have always been close, and our relationship will only get closer in the future. My cousin will be marrying into the Bai family soon, and as her cousin, I have to come and add to the boxes no matter what."
When Zou Shuqin said this, she lifted her skirt and was about to get off the car.
"Madam, wait a moment. I'll give the gift box to my cousin and then go with you to pay my respects to the Madam."
The nanny's expression remained unchanged, but she immediately said, "In my opinion, Miss Zou's gift of additional boxes is unnecessary. Miss Zou probably doesn't know that just after you left, the old lady heard the news and rushed over."
Mammy said this with a flattering smile on her face.
Moreover, he climbed onto the carriage and stopped Zou Shuqin who was about to get off.
She continued, "When the old lady learned about Miss Zou's affairs, she reprimanded the eldest lady, saying that as a daughter of an official family, it was rare for Miss Zou not to care about her status and that she had deep feelings for the Third Young Master."
"Now that we have the Third Young Master's child, we must not wrong Miss Zou, nor the child in Miss Zou's belly. This is our Third Young Master's first child. What the First Madam said before was very inappropriate. Fortunately, the Third Young Master has not yet married, so it would be better..."
The nanny stopped talking here, knelt on the carriage, and bowed to Zou Shuqin again.
"Congratulations to Miss Zou." The nanny's face was full of joy.
Although the nanny didn't say it explicitly, the meaning she expressed surprised Mo Ju greatly.
