She slept peacefully here, but Marquis Changping was very annoyed. What happened today was completely beyond his imagination.
Bai, who had always been suppressed and had no ability to resist, could actually kill people at will. Maybe she also wanted to kill him because he wanted her dead again and again.
I have to think more about what’s going on with the baby in Rong Wanting’s belly and investigate!
We also need to find someone to clarify his physical condition. We can't just believe what Bai said. We also need to check whether he really spent a lot of money on treatment.
What happened today involved both life and death. He must have been embarrassed in front of the families who reported the news. I wonder how they will laugh at him when he goes back to the court.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He swept all the objects on the table to the ground. This was probably the most frustrating day of his life.
Yan Dong, the long-time servant serving outside, heard the noise in the room and dared not make a sound, for fear of falling into the master's hands. A beating would be the least of his worries, he was even more afraid of being killed by his master.
At this time, someone outside reported
"Please tell them that the old lady wants the Marquis to come over!"
"Okay, Madam Hua, wait a moment. I'll pass on the message right away."
Long Sui Yan Dong approached the study door and said slowly
"The old lady of the Marquis invites you!"
The people in the room were silent for a while before they replied.
"Just say I'll be there shortly!"
The old lady couldn't hide what was happening in the mansion from the old lady, so she must have called him now for the sake of Bai and the child. It would be good to listen to his mother's advice.
Old Madam Zhang was able to hold her position among the old marquis' concubines, defeat those illegitimate sons and help him take the throne. She might have better ideas for Bai.
Aunt Hua went back first after receiving the letter. Su Chen just called the housekeeper over.
"Go find a famous doctor outside the capital and bring him to the Marquis' residence secretly. Don't let him know who he needs to see!"
The housekeeper was secretly shocked. The Marquis was suspicious after all, but he remained silent.
"Yes, I'll let Gu'er do it himself!"
"Well, send some more people to investigate the Bai family. What they have done in the past year or so, and keep it secret. Also, send a team of guards to find the family of Bai's wet nurse. Once they are found, send them out of the capital and don't let them come back."
"I understand"
Rong's didn't ask anyone to check, so we'll wait until the physical condition is confirmed.
After giving instructions to tidy up his clothes and calm himself down, he headed towards the old lady's courtyard, Xiyuan.
"Mother, your son greets you!"
"Come on, take a seat. Can you have dinner?"
"not yet!"
I was so angry that I forgot the time.
"Then use some with me!"
"I haven't had a meal with my mother for a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to accompany her today."
They didn't talk while eating and didn't talk while sleeping. The two of them didn't talk while eating. Su Chen just ate a little bit without any taste and finished it quickly.
Putting down her chopsticks and waving everyone away, the old lady spoke.
"What are your plans for today?"
"First, control the rumors within the mansion and don't give them a chance to spread them outside. Let Bai live a few more months. She'll die of exhaustion when the time comes. It's indeed wrong for Rong to interfere with the heir. Since she's pregnant, let her copy the scriptures and pray for my son."
"The arrangement is pretty good. You have to act nicely in front of the Bai family and give them the rewards and respect they deserve.
I'll also send some rewards tomorrow, so don't be stingy, especially since everyone knows about it. During this time, let her do whatever she wants and let her be well served.
When she is one month old, hold a big banquet, invite many people, and make her look good in front of everyone, so that everyone knows that you value the child and her.
Since the blame was placed on the midwife and several servants, this statement was confirmed. Either by finding someone to give false testimony, or by using threats or bribes, they were forced to confess their guilt, write down the charges and sign them.
It would be best to bring this matter to the Yingtian Prefecture government office. After he pleads guilty, you can then allow him to commit suicide out of fear of punishment. This will clear outsiders' suspicions of you, and Bai's accusations will become meaningless.
Rong's family is using the excuse of nurturing the fetus. She's due in three months, so they'll just ban her until she gives birth. When everything is over and no one's paying attention anymore, they'll deal with Bai. There are plenty of ways to make her lose her mouth."
The old marquis had taken in so many concubines in his lifetime, but how many of them could last until the end? He praised each one and beat down the next, which eventually led to internal fighting among them. She was the one who profited, and who knew how many children in the inner house had been harmed. She was so good at handling such matters.
A woman without any foundation who didn't even protect her own family, she was spared from death to help the Marquis's Mansion, and now she rebelled? Ha, let's see how capable she is. She has no one under her command and can't leave. Even if she has a hidden weapon that can hurt people, it can't be used all the time.
"Mom is really thoughtful. I understand. I will do everything according to what you say."
"It's good that you understand. You are the Marquis, so don't spend all your time on the women in the inner court. Rong is too ambitious, so you need to suppress her. Her family relied on our Marquisate to rise up. Don't get it wrong. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have gotten this bad. The Rong family should also be reprimanded. If he doesn't know what's good for him, suppress his official position."
"I understand, my child!"
The old lady is the old lady after all, and with this combination of methods, she can find out the missing parts and fill them in, and the matter will be resolved.
Rong waited until the sun set but Nanny still didn't come back, and she became even more panicked. Nanny Li was missing, and Nanny Rong went to inquire about her but received no reply. What had happened?
"Someone come!"
The maids Xi Que and Lian Zhi came forward
"Mrs. Rong"
"Send a little girl to the Bai family's courtyard to see what happened and why didn't Mammy come back?"
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
"Wait, give her some more silver and make sure to find out everything!"
"yes!"
The wait was very tiring, and she became more and more nervous. Something must have happened, otherwise the maids would not have not come back.
She was not afraid of harming Bai, but she was afraid that the Marquis would find out that she had someone suffocate the kid to death. If Bai didn't die and he carried his wife to heaven, she would definitely not be able to do it for a while. If she was also charged with the crime of murdering her offspring, she would have no chance.
Even if she could persuade the Marquis not to blame her, she would not be able to hide it from the old lady. After Bai died, she would only marry someone else and it would not be her turn.
"How did that bitch from the Bai family survive? She was clearly dead, so why did she insist on staying alive? She ruined my entire plan."
She was filled with rage and her stomach began to ache again.
Take a few deep breaths,
"Don't panic, don't panic. The Marquis won't give up on me. The child in my belly is my bargaining chip, and my father is my backing. As long as I don't acknowledge him, no one can do anything to me. Yes, it wasn't me who did it. It can't be me who did it."
Rong Wanting kept walking around the room, talking to herself. She had been planning for several years and was finally about to realize it, but suddenly there was a reversal that was hard for her to accept.
"Why didn't the old lady die earlier? If she hadn't been stopping me, I would have been chosen as your wife two years ago. That old woman, if she knew about this, I don't know how she would explain it to the Marquis.
She must die sooner rather than later. This Marquis's Mansion is under the control of the Master. The Master listens to me the most. As long as the old lady is gone, everything will be easy."
She thought over and over again about many ways to explain to the Marquis, and she firmly believed that as long as she showed weakness, and relied on the child in her belly and her father's side, the Marquis would not make things difficult for her.
