Not long after, Pearl and Grandma Hua walked in with Qinglian.
Qinglian knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings to the old madam, the eldest madam, and the third madam."
Su Qingyu glanced at the old lady and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so she said.
"Qinglian, where were you when Manager Xiang and I were talking at the door just now?"
"My slave is wiping the dust inside." Qinglian replied in a low voice.
Su Qingyu asked again, "Did you hear me talking to Manager Xiang? You should tell the old lady and the eldest lady what we said."
Qinglian raised her head and said, "I was wiping the dust in the warehouse just now when I heard Manager Xiang ask the third lady how her choice went. The third lady asked if the plum blossom painting was more suitable. Manager Xiang said, it depends. Why did the third lady choose, and she said that the second lady is still waiting."
"The third lady also asked who is the original work of this, and why the painting is so popular. Guanshi Xiang said that it was painted by a poor and poor scholar, and it is not worth much."
After Xiangdong finished speaking, the old lady's face suddenly turned as dark as water.
Especially that sentence, drawn by a down-and-out poor scholar. In this capital, who dares to say that the old man of the Shen family is a poor scholar?
The old lady reached out and patted the table below, "Xiangdong, aren't you telling the truth?"
Xiangdong trembled with fright, and when he raised his head, he saw Mrs. Chen's cryptic gaze.
She pursed her lower lip tightly and didn't speak for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
Su Qingyu also looked at Xiangdong coldly. She guessed that she would take the initiative to say that this was her idea alone and had nothing to do with anyone else. He would even say righteously that he would kill or chop her into pieces and she would admit it.
But after waiting for a long time, Xiangdong didn't speak.
Su Qingyu was not in a hurry, but the old lady lost her patience.
"Come here, drag him down and kill him with a cane."
When the rough lady outside came in, she wanted to drag Xiangdong down.
Xiangdong suddenly covered his abdomen with both hands, "Old Madam, this slave is pregnant, please forgive me."
As soon as she said this, the two women holding her quickly let go.
Without the restraint of the two men, Xiangdong knelt in front of the old lady again.
"Old madam, you have spared this slave's life. This slave is pregnant."
The old lady looked at Xiangdong in astonishment, "Haven't you been a widow for several years? How could you be pregnant?"
Then he raised his voice and told Aunt Hua, "Go and call the doctor."
Su Qingyu also looked at Xiangdong blankly, pregnant?
In her previous life, she had never heard that Xiangdong was pregnant.
Su Qingyu recalled carefully for a long time, vaguely remembering that Xiangdong seemed to be sick in her previous life, so she went back to her parents' house to take care of him for half a month.
Another thought, Xiangdong lives in the inner house on weekdays, so the child in her belly...
Su Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, it would be okay if he was a servant. If it belonged to any master of the Shen family, it would be lively.
The old lady had obviously thought of this and asked in a deep voice: "Whose child is this in your belly? Tell me the truth. If you tell a lie, I will kill you immediately."
Xiangdong had served in Qingyuan Residence, so he naturally knew how ruthless the old lady would be if she got angry.
She didn't dare to lie, not even at this time.
Xiangdong glanced at Mrs. Chen and then at the old lady.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's... the eldest master."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Chen was the quickest to react, stood up, raised his hand and slapped Xiangdong on the face.
"You little bitch, I didn't know you climbed into the great master's bed."
Xiangdong fell to the ground after being hit by the slap.
Su Qingyu tried to persuade Mrs. Chen, "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry. She still has a child in her belly. If she is really the heir of our Shen family, don't get hurt."
For Chen, this sentence is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
She gritted her teeth and said coldly: "It's not certain whether he is the eldest master's child or not."
"Don't be a bastard and throw dirty water on the big boss."
The old lady frowned slightly, what Chen said was a bit unpleasant. How could Xiangdong talk about this kind of thing?
Not long after, Dr. Zhang, the government doctor, hurried in, bowed and checked Xiangdong's pulse.
"Madam, Manager Xiang is pregnant and has been pregnant for more than a month." Doctor Zhang said cautiously.
The old lady waved her hand and signaled Doctor Zhang to go down. Doctor Zhang seems to have been granted amnesty. He doesn't want to know the secrets of the mansion at all.
After Dr. Zhang went out, the old lady asked in a deep voice: "Xiangdong, let me ask you again, is this child of yours really the master's?"
"Old madam, Xiangdong doesn't dare to hide anything. This child really belongs to the great master."
When Xiangdong said this, there was strong hatred in his lowered eyes. The fingers lying on the ground scratched hard, and the joints turned white.
Mrs. Chen became a little anxious when she saw that the old lady was a little moved.
"There is no way this child belongs to the great master. Someone, pull him down and kill him with a cane."
Xiangdong raised his head and looked at Chen, his frightened expression suddenly calmed down.
"Please Madam, please give me a way to survive, otherwise... I will die in peace."
The look he looked at Chen was faintly threatening.
Mrs. Chen also stared at Xiangdong for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief and sat back on the chair.
Su Qingyu snorted softly, "Will you die in peace? Did the manager Xiang tell you before he died, why he plotted against me?"
"Don't say it wasn't intentional. You are the manager of the warehouse. You probably know what the things in the warehouse are if you close your eyes."
Xiangdong glanced at Mrs. Chen, and then said: "This servant was obsessed for a while, and was afraid that the third lady would criticize us at a young age. So she came up with this idea, hoping that the housekeeping rights would return to the first lady or the second lady."
Su Qingyu didn't believe what she said, and pretended to continue questioning. In fact, she knew in her heart that she couldn't ask anything, it was just to put pressure on Mrs. Chen.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she quickly said, "Mother, do you think I can raise her to be my aunt?"
Mrs. Chen almost gritted her teeth and asked this sentence, but under the current situation, she could only treat her as an aunt.
Xiangdong held the handle in her hand, and she had to get over it before talking about it. As for whether the child can be born in the future and whether the newly promoted aunt can survive, it is not up to her.
Thinking of this, Chen's mood calmed down a bit.
The old lady waved her hand, "Search for a yard and place them first. After asking the boss, I will lift my aunt."
"As for her plotting against the Third Lady, she will be punished after she gives birth to a child."
He then told Su Qingyu, "You should go back and arrange a few reliable people to serve her first."
Mrs. Chen said hurriedly: "The third brother and sister have just taken over this business, so they can't take care of it. Since it is our eldest brother's business, let me take him down and settle it."
When the old lady thought that this was a good idea, she asked Chen to take Xiangdong down.
When the time came, only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the house, plus a nanny who was waiting beside them.
Only then did the old lady rub her somewhat swollen head and said angrily: "This boss actually did such a stupid thing."
Then he told Aunt Hua, "When he returns home, let him come to see me immediately."
Su Qingyu stood up and sat next to the old lady, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mom, don't be angry. If you are angry, your health will be bad."
She knew why the old lady was angry. If Shen Zhiheng took a fancy to Xiangdong, he could just ask the old lady for his blessing and take her as a concubine.
But secretly secretly having a child, and being discovered under such circumstances, is really a disgrace to the family.
The old lady looked at Su Qingyu with pity, "You still want to comfort me after being wronged. This Xiangdong plotted against you and should have been beaten to death. But now..."
Su Qingyu knew what the old lady was going to say, "Of course the heirs are important, but beating someone to death while pregnant is not something people like us would do."
"Mom, you don't have to think so much. Xiangdong might just be confused for a moment. If any servant doesn't make mistakes, we can strictly control him from now on."
Su Qingyu didn't feel regretful or aggrieved about Xiangdong's treatment.
The purpose of performing surgery on Xiangdong was to establish his authority and create trouble for Chen. Now that Mrs. Chen was so angry that she wanted to kill Xiangdong, she couldn't do it again.
As for how Dafang's wives and concubines fought, it was none of her business. She was happy to watch the excitement from the sidelines.
"Mom, Xiangdong is now the aunt in the house. Plus she is pregnant, so she can no longer manage the warehouse. What do you think of Qinglian just now? I plan to promote her to take over as the warehouse manager."
