"Why are you all so scared? Is it really that scary?"
Wen Mianmian watched the three of them being called back from the beating, all of them were frightened out of their wits. Wang An seemed better, but not much better.
Shannai nodded frantically when she heard Gege's words. "Gege, you don't know. There were so many people. Everyone was beaten bloody. It was even worse than the time Sister Shancha was beaten with a stick. Many people fainted after being beaten for more than 20 times."
Camellia: “…”
"But Eunuch Su and Eunuch Liu said that he must be given fifty lashes."
"After the fight, several of those people were killed immediately, and the others were sent away..."
In fact, the scene was even more horrific and bloody than Shannai described.
Wen Mianmian couldn't help but get goosebumps when she heard what Shannai said.
She also felt it was terrible. Shan Cha had been beaten with ten boards and had to stay in bed for several days.
And those people were beaten with fifty boards.
However, the Fourth Master did this to intimidate his servants. If he didn't do this, anyone who got pregnant in the future would be worried.
She would be afraid too, because the poisonous snake hiding in the dark is the most terrifying.
Because you don't know where he is hiding or when he will come out to bite you, you have no way of knowing.
This made her think of Wang Shi. She was very curious about what Shan Cha was holding in her hand when she saw her before.
What happened with Li Gege should have nothing to do with her.
Because she was at the farm at the time, and she was just a concubine and it was impossible for her to arrange for anyone to do anything in the mansion.
Is that the Song family?
When I saw her smile at Fu Jin's place before, there was a hint of success in it.
She knew that the Song family was definitely not a simple one.
She was the Fourth Master's first woman and had been pregnant before, but she lost the child in the end.
It’s gone!
This made Wen Mianmian think of Li, who was the most favored one in the backyard at that time, and the wife should have just entered the mansion not long ago.
Song was pregnant with the master's first child, so the two of them were the ones who least wanted Song to give birth to the child.
So the miscarriage caused by Li being drugged might be related to the Song family.
She has been in the mansion for so long, she must have her own people here.
However, these are all based on his own guesses, but when he thought of the Song family, Wen Mianmian still felt defensive.
As expected, a person who appears gentle and kind to others may not necessarily be gentle and kind in his heart.
"Okay, now that you're all back, be careful about what you do in the future and don't say anything nonsense outside."
"I understand, Princess."
The eldest prince’s full moon banquet was not held, and Fu Jin naturally agreed.
After all, the child is still young and in poor health, and she doesn't want her to suffer.
Especially after she found out two days ago that she would never be able to have children again, she treasured this child even more.
This is her only child.
When she heard the news, Fu Jin fainted several times from crying.
She also knew that she had suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth, but she never expected that she would never be able to have a child again.
But things have come to this. The eldest prince is now the only child between her and her master. No matter what, she must protect him and let him grow up safely.
——
Although Li was sad about losing her child, she was undoubtedly furious when she learned that her wife had given birth to a prince.
Why is it that her brother is gone, but the wife's child is still alive and well?
But I heard that the child was born weak and the wife was injured and would never be able to have children again.
Li started laughing while crying.
"So what if she gave birth to a prince? He's still a sickly child. It's not certain whether he can survive and grow up."
When Nanny Fang heard what Gege said, she hurried over and said, "Gege, it's okay to say this in the room, but you can't let anyone hear it."
"What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here. My child is gone, it must be related to Fu Jin."
Who else would dare to do that except Fu Jin?
Moreover, she and her wife were the only ones in the mansion at that time, so who else could have done it if not her?
"Gege, I know you're upset, but now that things have come to this, you should take good care of yourself. Once you're well, it's only right to try and have another child."
Seeing that the princess seemed to be persuaded by her words, Nanny Fang continued, "Besides, the eldest prince born by Fu Jin is weak. It would be difficult to raise such a child to adulthood."
"Besides, even if you raise him, he will still be around sick people in the future."
"When Gege gets pregnant again and gives birth to a prince, will she still be afraid of Fu Jin's frail eldest prince?"
Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said coldly, "Madam is right. I must take good care of myself. I still want to give birth to a prince for my master."
"Bring the medicine in."
"Okay, I'll go right away." There was some joy in Nanny Fang's eyes. It was good that the princess had figured it out.
——
When the eldest prince’s full moon banquet came, he simply invited his brothers to come and get together.
On this day, Fu Jin also got up and walked around in front of her sisters-in-law with the child in her arms.
Originally, Fu Jin wanted to stay in bed for two months, but she was worried about her child.
After all, there would be a lot of people and a lot of noise on the day of the full moon banquet, so she had to keep an eye on it herself.
It was no use trying to dissuade her from doing so. The Fourth Master also told her to take good care of herself during the confinement period and that he would take good care of the child.
But Fu Jin was not at ease, as the eldest prince was her only hope now.
She trusts no one but herself.
Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, the Fourth Master stopped trying to persuade him.
In fact, what Chunxiang said before also left some doubts in the Fourth Master's mind.
At first he didn't believe that Fu Jin would do this, because in his eyes Fu Jin was well-educated, gentle and virtuous, but she was too particular about rules and treated the princesses and concubines quite well.
However, Su Peisheng found out that Chunxiang had indeed had contact with the servants in the main courtyard during those days, and they even talked for a long time.
The servant said that he just happened to meet Chunxiang that day, and they knew each other before, so they chatted for a while.
I asked several times and got the same answer.
In the end, the slave was beaten to death because he could not bear the torture.
Although he didn't get anything out of the question, the needle had already pierced into the Fourth Master's heart.
It was precisely because of this that the Fourth Master became more wary of the Concubine.
So although he occasionally came back to see Fu Jin, he would leave after sitting for a while, and most of the time he would visit the eldest prince.
So when Fu Jin wanted to leave the confinement room early, the Fourth Master didn't say anything and let her do it.
This full moon banquet was not as lively as expected. After all, everyone had heard that the eldest prince was weak.
Everyone also knew that the Fourth Lady was injured, but no one spread the fact that she would not be able to have children in the future.
But we have all been through this, so how could we not know? We just kept it in our hearts and didn't say it out loud.
