Chapter 833, Incident
Luo Qiong discovered that after going to the Ma family, Xiao Yechen came to her room more often, which made her extremely annoyed and irritated.
In addition, it was the mourning period now, so she couldn't even use the excuse of pushing him to the concubine's room, and could only bite the bullet and deal with him.
At first, Luo Qiong thought that Xiao Yechen came so frequently because he felt guilty, but after a few days she discovered that every time Xiao Yechen came to her room, his eyes were mostly on Xue Qiao.
Luo Qiong had something to hide and didn't want Xiao Yechen to pay too much attention to Xue Qiao, so every time Xiao Yechen came over, she took the opportunity to send Xue Qiao out of the house.
After Xiao Yechen noticed this, he deliberately said, "Your maidservant named Xueqiao is quite good-looking."
Luo Qiong glanced at Xiao Yechen and asked, "Is she in your sight?"
Xiao Yechen looked at Luo Qiong and smiled: "Are you jealous?" As he said that, he reached out to hold Luo Qiong's hand.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yechen's hand touched Luo Qiong's hand, Luo Qiong quickly pulled away.
Seeing Luo Qiong trying to avoid him as much as possible, a cold look gradually appeared in Xiao Yechen's eyes.
These days, he was not unaware of Luo Qiong's rejection of him. What's worse, he had inadvertently seen the disgust towards him flash in Luo Qiong's eyes.
Because of what Mrs. Wang said, he had originally dispelled his suspicions about Luo Qiong, but after spending these days together, he couldn't help but waver again.
Luo Qiong also realized that he had overreacted, and smiled to make amends: "Master, we are still in the mourning period, there are some things we need to pay attention to, so as not to cause gossip."
Xiao Yechen withdrew his hand and said directly: "Let the maid come in and serve. She can't move. It's good to feast your eyes."
Luo Qiong looked at Xiao Yechen in astonishment, and then felt disgusted, and felt that Xiao Yechen was even more unbearable.
While he was in mourning for his biological mother, he actually had the mind to attract the attention of the maid. He is really unworthy of being a son!
Xiao Yechen ignored Luo Qiong, got up, went to the inner room to change clothes, and then went to the study.
"Go to Mrs. Wang's house again and take her to the outer house."
Xiao Yechen instructed Gao Yuan indifferently: "Remember, don't let anyone know about this."
Gao Yuan nodded, then quietly retreated.
However, that evening, Gao Yuan returned empty-handed: "Master, Mrs. Wang's son and daughter-in-law said that Mrs. Wang had gone to visit relatives and her return date is uncertain."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yechen's face immediately darkened. No matter how stupid he was, he realized that something was wrong. After being silent for a while, he went straight to Luo Qiong's room.
Luo Qiong was just about to take off her clothes and go to bed when she saw Xiao Yechen coming over and hurriedly put on her coat.
Seeing this, Xiao Yechen walked to the bedside and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife. There is no part of your body that I haven't seen or touched. Why do you become more shy after you got pregnant?" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Saul Qiong's bulging belly inconspicuously.
Luo Qiong pulled the thin blanket over her stomach and said calmly, "I thought you wouldn't come tonight. It was just a surprise."
Xiao Yechen's lips curled up: "Master? Why don't you call me husband anymore?"
Luo Qiong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Yechen coquettishly: "Husband."
Xiao Yechen smiled and touched Luo Qiong's face: "You should call me grandpa. From today on, I will stay at your place until the baby is born."
Seeing Luo Qiong's face turn stiff, Xiao Yechen curled his lips and went to the purification room.
Xueling led the maid in to serve, but Xiao Yechen said directly: "Let Xueqiao come in to serve."
Xueling was stunned for a moment, not daring to disobey, so she could only go out and talk to Luo Qiong.
Luo Qiong frowned and asked Xueling to call Xueqiao.
After a while, Xue Qiao finally entered the bathroom.
Xiao Yechen let Xue Qiao help him bathe. During this time, his eyes kept wandering over her. Suddenly, he said, "You and your daughter have similar figures."
Hearing this, Xue Qiao shuddered and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground.
"Forgive me, sir."
Xue Qiao hurriedly picked up the handkerchief, and as soon as she stood up, Xiao Yechen grabbed her wrist.
Xiao Yechen pulled Xue Qiao close to him, sniffed her scent carefully, and then pinched her body.
Familiar taste, familiar feel.
Xiao Yechen thought about the time in March when he had asked Luo Qiong for whatever she wanted in bed, but she had no intention of disobeying him at all. Looking at the maid in front of him who had a body similar to Luo Qiong, a bad idea suddenly entered his mind.
He had clearly asked the imperial physician to take Luo Qiong's pulse, but his mother still asked the midwife from the Ma family to feel Luo Qiong's belly.
Did mother discover something?
Then, my mother died
Seeing Xiao Yechen's eyes becoming increasingly sharp, Xue Qiao's body began to tremble.
Xiao Yechen came back to his senses, pushed Xue Qiao away, put on his clothes, went out to take a look at Luo Qiong who was lying on the bed, covering herself tightly, and said with a smile: "You maid, lend me your services for a moment." After that, he pulled Xue Qiao away.
Seeing this, Luo Qiong immediately frowned.
Xueling and Luo Qiong said, "Miss, I'm afraid the master really has a crush on Xueqiao. He was touching her in the bathroom just now."
Luo Qiong snorted, "You are unworthy of being a son!"
Xue Qiao also thought that Xiao Yechen took her away to make her serve him, but she never expected that she was taken to a gloomy room and then thrown to the ground.
Xiao Yechen looked at Xue Qiao coldly and ordered Gao Fang and Gao Yuan, "No one is allowed to come near."
After Gao Fang and Gao Yuan left, Xiao Yechen squatted down and lifted Xue Qiao's pale chin: "You served me, right?"
Xue Qiao was struck by lightning and was so scared that she couldn't even speak. She could only keep shaking her head in denial.
Xiao Yechen pinched Xue Qiao's chin even harder: "I've already had your parents and brothers arrested. Think carefully about how to answer my questions."
The fear in Xueqiao's eyes grew stronger and stronger: "Master, please let my parents go."
Xiao Yechen smiled and patted Xue Qiao's face: "You are the maid of the grandmother. I will not torture you, but it is hard to say about your parents and brothers."
Xue Qiao kept begging for mercy, but she didn't say a word to anyone else.
Xiao Yechen was too lazy to argue with her and turned around and left the room.
Xue Qiao lay on the ground in fear. She knew in her heart that if the master told her directly, she would never be able to return to Chenyuan.
In the middle of the night, several people who were beaten to a bloody pulp were pushed in.
When Xue Qiao saw the face of the person who was beaten, she collapsed.
Gao Yuan looked at Xue Qiao and said, "Master, are you willing to tell me?"
Xue Qiao's face was covered with tears, and she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
When Gao Yuan saw this, he waved his hand, and immediately two tall and strong guards came in and pinned down Xue Qiao's elder brother.
Xue Qiao looked at Gao Yuan in horror: "What are you going to do?"
Gao Yuan remained unmoved: "Do it!"
With a "crack", Brother Xueqiao's left leg was broken directly. Because there was a cloth stuffed in his mouth, the only sound in the room was suppressed whimpering and groaning.
The sound was not loud, but it completely broke Xue Qiao's defense.
Gao Yuan asked again: "Are you willing to tell me?"
Xue Qiao stared at Gao Yuan intently. Seeing Gao Yuan raise his hand again to signal the guards to take action, she quickly shouted, "I'll tell you everything."
Soon, Xiao Yechen walked in again. Xue Qiao's parents and brother were dragged to the next room, leaving only two people in the room.
Xue Qiao looked at Xiao Yechen and said, "Master, I have told you, will you let my family go?"
Xiao Yechen: "Of course."
Xue Qiao lowered her head: "What do you want to know? Ask."
Xiao Yechen became nervous for no reason. He was silent for a while before speaking: "How many months is the baby in your daughter's belly?"
Xue Qiao: "The child is not yours. It's almost six months old now."
Xiao Yechen's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his hands clenched into fists. After a long while, he continued to speak: "Was Luo Qiong responsible for my mother's death?"
Xue Qiao was silent for a while and nodded.
Xiao Yechen's eyes turned bloodshot. "Good, good, Luo Qiong. You're really good!" He slammed his hands against the wall. After a moment, he asked, "Who is the adulterer?"
Xue Qiao shook her head: "I don't know about this."
Xiao Yechen was not satisfied with this answer: "You are her personal maid, how could you not know?"
Xue Qiao: "Master, I really didn't know. Every time I went back to the Duke of Wei's mansion, the young lady would send Xue Ling and me away. We only found out about her pregnancy later."
Xiao Yechen's eyes were filled with resentment: "So, during that time in March, you were serving me on behalf of Luo Qiong?"
Xue Qiao nodded.
Xiao Yechen smiled: "That's fine, that's fine, you master and servant are treating me like a fool!"
Afterwards, Xiao Yechen asked a lot more questions, and Xue Qiao told him everything she knew.
As the sky gradually brightened, Luo Qiong woke up and asked Xueling. She learned that Xueqiao had not come back all night, and she began to feel uneasy.
Although Xue Qiao lit the aphrodisiac incense and turned off the lights when she served Xiao Yechen, who knows if Xiao Yechen would still have any memory of it.
"Xue Qiao is back, ask her to come see me immediately."
Xueling nodded, turned around and went out to get breakfast for Luo Qiong, but as soon as she left the house, she found something wrong.
The housekeeper whom Princess Ma trusted the most actually came and called away all the maids and old women in the Chenyuan.
After a while, only a few maids who served Luo Qiong personally were left in the yard.
"Mammy, what's going on?"
Xueling hurried forward to ask.
The housekeeper glanced at her sideways and said nothing. She called in a few stout maids and said, "From today on, no one in the courtyard is allowed to go out."
Hearing this, Xueling felt dizzy.
Luo Qiong in the house also heard the noise and walked out of the room. She just happened to see the old woman locking the gate of the courtyard. In an instant, a chill ran through her head.
Pingxi Hall.
"What? Xiao Yechen has taken control of Chenyuan?"
Daohua looked at Pingji's wife with surprise. She was not surprised by the incident itself, but by Xiao Yechen's speed.
Xiao Yeyang: "At least you're not completely stupid. Just wait, Luo Qiong will definitely ask for help."
Daohua hesitated, "Will Xiao Yechi show up for Luo Qiong and the baby in her belly?"
Xiao Yeyang was also unsure: "It depends on how much he values Luo Qiong and her son."
Luo Qiong had been married into the palace for three years and still had some confidants. That night, a maid sneaked out of the palace and quickly went to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion for help.
When Lady Weiguo heard that Xiao Yechen had placed her daughter under house arrest, she suddenly felt dizzy.
"Madam, please save Grandma quickly. After Grandpa found out that the baby in Grandma's belly was not his, he beat her up. If Xueling hadn't protected her with her body, Grandpa would have aborted the baby."
The old woman said this while crying.
The wife of Duke Weiguo shook her body. Xiao Yechen actually attacked her daughter directly, which showed that he knew everything.
The old woman said: "Madam, when I came out, I saw that the master's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the grandmother as if he wanted to kill her. Madam, you must think of a way quickly, because the master will really kill the grandmother."
When she thought of what her daughter had done, Lady Weiguo did not have time to think carefully and went straight to the ancestral hall.
She had to find Xiao Ye Chi, because only he could save her daughter now.
The wife of Duke Weiguo ran into the ancestral hall and was about to open the secret door when Old Duke Wei and Duke Weiguo walked in.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the old Duke of Wei and the Duke of Wei, the Duke's wife was panicked.
Duke Weiguo quickly came to his wife and, looking at the secret guard who had opened a tiny crack, asked with a gloomy face, "How did you know there was a secret door here?"
Only he and his father knew about the secret passage in the mansion, and he didn't even tell his eldest son.
"I"
The wife of the Duke of Weiguo avoided his gaze and looked panicked, not knowing how to answer at all.
The moment Duke Wei saw his daughter-in-law, he wanted to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he found out that his daughter-in-law actually knew the secret passage of the Luo family, and he could not move his feet.
Ever since he learned that his wife had an affair with his father, Duke Weiguo felt disgusted with his wife from the bottom of his heart. Over the years, apart from maintaining some decency in front of others, he felt dirty even looking at his wife behind her back.
"Tell me, how did you know about the secret door?"
Duke Weiguo grabbed his wife's wrist tightly, his face full of frost.
The wife of the Duke of Wei was in so much pain that tears came out. Looking at her husband's cold eyes, she said coldly, "I can tell the Duke, but first you have to go to the palace and help me bring Qiong'er back."
Seeing that at this time, the wife of Duke Weiguo suddenly mentioned Luo Qiong, both the old Duke Weiguo and the Duke Weiguo frowned.
After a moment's silence, the Duke of Wei asked with a sullen face, "Why did you bring Qiong'er back?"
Lady Weiguo: "I miss her."
The Duke of Wei shook off his wife's hand and said, "You think my father and I are fools. Tell me, what happened to Qiong'er?" He paused and said, "Could it be that Qiong'er told you about this secret door?"
The wife of Duke Weiguo did not expect that Duke Weiguo had guessed the truth so immediately. She failed to control her expression and was immediately seen through by Duke Weiguo.
Duke Wei frowned: "Did Qiong'er really tell you? How did she know?"
Seeing that his wife remained silent, the Duke of Weiguo angrily said, "This secret passage is of great importance. It concerns the safety of the Duke's Mansion. What are you and your daughter hiding? Tell the truth."
The wife of the Duke of Wei originally didn't want to say anything, but when she thought that Xiao Yechen might very likely kill Luo Qiong, she had to speak: "The secret passage was told to Qiong'er by Xiao Yechi."
Upon hearing this, Duke Wei Lao and Duke Wei were both shocked, and then both had a bad premonition.
The wife of the Duke of Wei looked at the Duke of Wei, pleading, "Duke, please go to the palace first and bring Qiong'er back."
At this time, Wei Laoguo spoke up: "What happened to Qiong'er? If you don't tell us clearly, we won't go to pick her up."
The wife of the Duke of Wei hesitated for a moment, then said in a whisper, "Qiong'er is pregnant with Xiao Yechi's child."
Upon hearing this, Duke Lao of Wei and Duke Guo of Wei were both stunned.
After a long while, the Duke of Wei pointed a trembling finger at his wife and said, "What a good daughter you gave birth to, yet she is just as unfaithful as you."
Duke Wei's face suddenly became uncomfortable.
The wife of Duke Wei sneered, "I'm not a faithful wife? Was it me who took the initiative to climb into your father's bed?" Then she looked coldly at the old Duke Wei, pointed at him and shouted:
"It was him. He forced me to do this. You don't dare to say anything about your own father, so you vent all your anger on me. Are you incompetent, or am I unfaithful to my husband?"
“Bang!”
The Duke of Wei suddenly slapped his wife, knocking her to the ground.
Just then, the servant's voice was heard outside the house.
"Uncle, why are you standing outside the ancestral hall?"
The three people in the room were all shocked.
