She had already asked someone to confirm that she was pregnant with a boy. A daughter of an official was no more valuable than a daughter of a merchant, and not giving the baby the birth was also for the sake of the Marquis's mansion.
It's not that she is overconfident. To put it bluntly, imperial merchants are still merchants, just one level higher than ordinary merchants, and cannot be compared with officials. This is why the Marquis's Mansion does not value the Bai family at all. In the eyes of many aristocratic families, the status of a merchant woman is indeed not up to par.
At that time, the Marquis's Mansion and the Bai Family wanted to marry into the family for money. Now that money is no longer a problem, the idea came to mind. The real noble families looked down upon the Marquis of Changping's behavior and would not send their daughters into the mansion. The high-ranking officials also looked down upon the position of step-wife. Only she was the most suitable.
Thinking of this, I felt relieved and not so anxious anymore.
"Magpie, bring me a bowl of blood swallows!"
"Hey! The kitchen prepares it for you every day. This is a special order from the Marquis. Even Madam Bai doesn't have it. I'll go get it right away!"
Xi Que's words satisfied Rong's vanity and relieved her worries. The Marquis always treated her differently, and a few mistakes would not be a big problem.
"Go quickly!"
The blood swallows had not been brought back yet when Huan'er, the maid who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back.
"Madam, I have heard about it."
"how?"
"Madame Li and Madame Rong are both dead!"
"What? How did he die?"
"The Marquis's wife killed him herself!"
"She's so bold! How dare she touch my people! Where's the Marquis? Where's the other servants? Why did she let her do that? Can she just touch my people whenever she wants?"
"It wasn't just the two maids; everyone in the delivery room was killed."
"The Marquis did it?"
She thought the Marquis had found out something and silenced him.
"No, it was the Marquis's wife who killed them all!"
"Where did you get such courage? How did you do it?!"
"She had a hidden weapon in her hand that could kill with one strike. The Marquis witnessed it with his own eyes."
"Tell me in detail, what happened?"
"yes"
Huan Er told Rong everything she had learned.
"Are you saying that the people in the delivery room did it after she came back to life, and that they were ordered by the Marquis and me to murder her and that brat?"
"Yes, many people inside and outside the courtyard heard it, and they even found silver notes on the midwife."
"Aren't there only a few people in her courtyard? How come there are so many people?"
"Someone found the housekeeper and brought over twenty or so maids and guards."
It's over. Doesn't this mean that the entire Marquis' Mansion knows about it? The old lady must know about it too. Now there's no way to hide it.
"My Lord didn't believe she could kill so many people, she~"
"how?"
"I just happened to see Madam Rong coming over to inquire about the news, so I broke her neck right in front of the Marquis."
Bai, Bai, are you demonstrating or taking revenge?
What I am more worried about is when Bai will have this ability. He has always been very low-key and never resisted. He is really hiding it very well. If he hadn't almost died this time, he probably wouldn't have been exposed.
Oh, was she waiting for a chance to strike back? Such a deep thought! She had thought Bai was just a piece of meat on the chopping block, but she hadn't expected to become a fox with sharp claws.
It seems I have to be more careful when dealing with her next time.
It's a complete misunderstanding, but it doesn't matter how you think about it, we have to confront each other anyway.
"The Marquis said it was all the servants' own decision. He didn't harm the lady, and you won't harm the heir either. He believes you!"
Rong was not happy about the Marquis's words. She understood that the Marquis had to clear herself at this time and could not let her be implicated in the crime of murdering his offspring.
"The good news is that the Marquis's wife has displeased the master again. The master wanted to take the young master away and hand him over to the old lady, but she refused and even injured the guards and killed two maids.
The Marquis was angry at her disrespect and disobedience, so he sealed off her courtyard and forbade her from entering or leaving. He also had guards outside, and he knew he would punish her sooner or later.
"Oh, that's good news, but that old woman has a good idea. She wants to take the little cub away and keep him by her side. This is really annoying me. Sooner or later, she will die.
Humph, so what if Bai Shi didn't die, so what if she gave birth to a son? Without a backer, you can never fight against reality. Now that the courtyard is sealed, it won't be long before they find a way to make her die again.
That little brat is a real trouble~"
After the maid Huan'er finished her reply, she stood there motionless. A servant doesn't need to understand the master's thoughts.
"Viewing the branches together"
"Thank you, Madam, for your reward"
"Back off. If you have nothing to do, go to the old lady more often. If you hear anything, report it immediately!"
She needed to know what the old lady was thinking so that she could come up with a response plan as soon as possible.
"Yes, I understand. I will withdraw."
"Wait, send a letter to the Marquis and tell him that I have a stomachache and ask him to call the palace doctor."
I still have to find out what the Marquis is thinking.
When Xi Que, who had just brought back the blood swallows, heard this, he quickly put down his bowl.
"Madam, you are not feeling well. This is a serious matter. Let the Marquis call the imperial physician!"
"No need. If it's nothing serious, please ask the court doctor to check it out first!"
"Then I will go and report this to the Marquis immediately."
Xi Que and Lian Zhi did not dare to leave Rong's family. Huan'er went to find the Marquis and asked another little maid to call the palace doctor.
Huan'er went to the front yard and heard that the old lady had invited the marquis, so she hurried to Xiyuan.
"Could Sister Jinling please tell everyone inside that Madam Rong is feeling unwell and have summoned the palace physician. Please ask the Marquis to come and see her."
Jin Ling did not dare to neglect such a matter.
"Wait a moment, I'll go in and tell the old lady and the marquis!"
"Thank you, Sister Jin Ling."
