Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Cui Qishao looked in the direction Wan Xiaoniang pointed, and was surprised as if he had just discovered that Dong Jiafu was there too.

His reaction meant something different to Wan Xiaoniang, who thought he was amazed by Dong Jiafu's beauty and her heart was filled with alarm.

She lowered her head and sobbed aggrievedly, drawing Cui Qishao's attention back.

"I am pregnant and I cannot stand the heat in the house, so I want to go outside to cool off. But who knew that this person would suddenly rush out on the road without making any noise. If I had not dodged in time, I would have been hit by her. If I had been hit in the past, I would have suffered some minor injuries at most, but now I am not alone, and I have to protect our child."

It must be said that Wan Xiaoniang knew how to make a man feel protective. After hearing her words, Cui Qishao felt distressed. He lowered his head and wiped her tears and said, "Yue'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer for our child."

Wan Xiaoniang sobbed and stopped talking.

Cui Yaying was furious that she was confusing right and wrong, and she stood up for Dong Jiafu, "You're talking nonsense. What do you mean by rushing out? Ah Fu was clearly walking normally, and she was still some distance away from you, so she wouldn't have touched you at all. Besides, the doctor has already checked you, and you're fine."

Wan Xiaoniang was stunned. She looked at her and then at Dong Jiafu who was standing beside her. She didn't understand why she would speak for an outsider. Even if she was not the Second Master's legal wife, the child in her belly was from the Cui family, and she would have to call her aunt in the future.

Wan Xiaoniang didn't have time to think about it. She covered her stomach and groaned, "Third Auntie has wronged me. I was really scared by her and my stomach hurts. Third Auntie was not there at the time. Don't be fooled by others."

"Yes, Third Sister didn't see it with her own eyes, but Yue'er was indeed frightened. It's a blessing that the child is okay." Cui Qishao said.

Cui Yaying wanted to say something else but was stopped by Dong Jiafu.

"At that time, Miss Wan was accompanied by two maids. You can ask them what the truth is."

The maid in blue went to ask the doctor and never came back, and the other maid in green who was mentioned by Dong Jiafu lowered her head and dared not say a word.

Cui Qishao looked at the three maids in the room and asked, "Who is telling the truth?"

The maid in green couldn't avoid it, so she quietly raised her eyes in the direction of Wan Xiaoniang, and quickly lowered her head again.

"Reply... reply to Second Master, what I said is the truth."

Wan Xiaoniang showed a barely perceptible smile on her lips. The Second Young Master's wife's plan should have failed. How could the Second Master take a person who almost killed her child as a concubine? Taking a step back, even if the Second Master was dazzled by the beauty of that person and didn't care about these things, the Madam would not agree. The Madam valued the child in her belly very much.

"What else do you have to say?" Cui Qishao glared at Dong Jiafu, obviously thinking she was the one who lied.

Dong Jiafu chuckled, "There were only four people present at the time. If the people around Wan Xiaoniang refused to tell the truth, I really couldn't prove myself."

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Yue'er and her maid have teamed up to slander you?"

"Second Master, I didn't..." Wan Xiaoniang grabbed Cui Qishao's lapel with an aggrieved look.

"Of course I believe you." Cui Qishao hugged her to comfort her.

Bai felt very sad when she saw the two of them being so affectionate. Cui Qishao had never been so considerate to her before.

"I invited Miss Dong here. Do you guys want to bully her together?" A voice broke the deadlock in the room.

Everyone looked and saw the old lady standing outside the door, with Cui Qiyan and Mother Qi on either side. No one knew how long they had been standing there.

Mother Qi helped the old lady in. Seeing that Dong Jiafu was isolated and helpless, Cui Qi Yan followed her in without any hesitation.

The old lady's words shocked Wan Xiaoniang, who was secretly happy, and she vaguely realized that things were not as she thought.

Cui Qishao hadn't noticed anything was wrong with her. He took back his arms around her and stood up from the bed. "Grandma, why are you here?"

"Can I not come when something like this happens?"

"I shouldn't have disturbed mother," the second lady, who had been silent, went over to help the old lady, "Mother, please sit down."

The old lady waved her hand, "I won't sit down. I heard something outside just now. Now Miss Wan and her maid are convinced that it was Miss Dong who frightened her and almost caused miscarriage and hurt the baby. Is that what you mean?"

Wan Xiaoniang was holding her belly and trying to get out of bed. When Cui Qishao saw her, he hurried to stop her.

"Your stomach still hurts, so don't move around."

The old lady also said, "Just lie there and talk. Your health is the most important thing."

"Thank you, old lady," Wan Xiaoniang acted cautiously in front of the old lady, sat back and said hesitantly, "I didn't know this girl was the distinguished guest invited by the old lady, I hope you can forgive me for my impoliteness. Actually, it's not your fault, that place is a crossroads, and you didn't see me. I feel much better, and the doctor also said that the child is fine, so let's leave it at that."

First, Cui Yaying was upset for Dong Jiafu, and then the old lady came after hearing the news. Wan Xiaoniang thought carefully and realized that although the girl's clothes were not conspicuous, her appearance and temperament were not something that the daughter of an ordinary housekeeper could have.

She only blamed herself for being impatient and not thinking carefully. At this moment, she just wanted the matter to end here quickly.

However, things have come to this point and she can't just end it if she wants to.

The old lady was the first to disagree. "Miss Dong came here to treat my back disease. Your previous words clearly showed that this matter was her fault. Now that nothing has been clarified, you are going to let it go. Isn't that asking her to just accept it?"

Dong Jiafu on the side was very surprised. She didn't expect the old lady to care so much about her.

"Mother, what you said makes sense," the eldest lady turned to ask Dong Jiafu, "Miss Dong, what do you think?"

"I don't want Miss Wan to just let the matter go because of the old lady. Since we have a disagreement on this matter, it's better to make it clear. Otherwise, Miss Wan will feel wronged, and I will feel wronged too."

Dong Jiafu naturally cannot take the blame for something she didn't do.

Wan Xiaoniang was scared. She had heard that a girl from an official family was treating the old lady's old illness. She was also curious about how a girl from an official family could be a doctor. She never expected that it would be this person.

This girl really knows medicine, and taking her pulse is not just a casual thing.

Wan Xiaoniang broke out in a cold sweat on her back, fortunately she didn't ask her to take her pulse.

When the maid in blue learned of Dong Jiafu's background, she was so frightened that her legs went limp.

"How can we find out?" The second wife smiled and tried to smooth things over. "No one else has seen it. Now they each insist on their own opinions. In my opinion, we should stop making trouble. Let's all take a step back. Harmony brings wealth."

"Second aunt forgot that there was a maidservant there as well. If you want to find out, just wait for her to come back and ask her." Cui Qi Yan said.
