A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Xiang Dong stood up in surprise, "What did you say? What happened to the Fifth Young Master?"

Chun Tao explained, "I don't know exactly what happened, but Qiu Yue has already gone to inquire about it. I only heard that Hanshui Courtyard is in chaos and the doctor is prescribing a prescription to help the fetus."

Xiang Dong blurted out, "Didn't I tell someone to take the Fifth Young Master back to bathe? What is he doing in Hanshui Courtyard?"

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "You have had many arguments since the princess returned home. Especially on the day she returned home, the Fifth Young Master was furious. The Fifth Young Master may have guessed that it was Li Chaoyun who wanted to harm you. So he went to Hanshui Courtyard to settle the score with her."

Xiang Dong felt a warm feeling in her heart, but she was also filled with worry, "What should I do? If anything happens to the princess's child, Cheng'er will be in big trouble."

Su Qingyu patted Xiangdong on the shoulder and advised, "Don't worry, let's go over and take a look."

Xiangdong nodded and followed Su Qingyu out of the west courtyard.

When they reached the small garden and before reaching Hanshui Courtyard, Qiuyue, who had gone to the West Courtyard to inquire about this matter, also came towards them.

"What's going on?" Su Qingyu asked.

Qiuyue stepped forward, bowed, and briefly explained what had happened.

Just as Su Qingyu guessed, Shen Cheng climbed the wall of Hanshui Courtyard and smeared horse manure all over Li Chaoyun's face. This also caused Li Chaoyun to fall, and she became furious and her pregnancy became unstable.

Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing in her heart. A favored girl like Li Chaoyun would never have dreamed that one day she would have horse manure smeared all over her face.

It would be really good news if Shen Cheng was not caught in public.

Xiang Dong on the side was so frightened that his face turned pale. "This child is too brave. How is the princess?"

Su Qingyu glanced at Xiang Dong. Madam Xiang, who was able to act cautiously and ruthlessly even in the face of Shen Zhiheng's coercion, was now panicking and terrified because of her stepson. No wonder the Fifth Young Master vented her anger, she really treated this child as her own.

Qiuyue replied: "The princess is fine for now, but she needs to be well taken care of. The doctor has prescribed some medicine, and the people at Hanshuiyuan are boiling it."

At this point, Qiuyue glanced at Xiangdong and continued, "The old lady just went there, and the princess cried a lot. The old lady punished the fifth young master to kneel in the yard first."

Xiang Dong looked even more flustered when he heard this, "I have to go and explain the facts to the old lady. This is not the fifth young master's fault."

Su Qingyu held Xiangdong who was about to speed up his pace, "What are you going to say? Tell the old lady that the princess is trying to harm you, and the fifth young master is avenging you?"

Xiang Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Su Qingyu meant. How could he convict a princess of the royal family based on a child's one-sided words without any real evidence?

Maybe Li Chaoyun would even bite back and accuse her of offending someone and almost bringing disaster to the mansion.

The two slowed down their pace, and Xiang Dong asked Su Qingyu in a low voice, "Then what do you think the Third Madam should do?"

Su Qingyu said calmly: "Follow the rules and apologize before entering the door."

Xiang Dong looked puzzled. "Apologize? If I apologize, won't that confirm Cheng'er's crime?"

"No, I can't push the child out. Since he calls me mother, I have to protect him."

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "I apologized just to protect him. No matter how angry the old lady is, she won't really kill her own grandson. In the end, at most the fifth young master will receive a small punishment."

"How can a family like us not be punished? Being punished is a small matter. What matters is how to plan for the future."

"If the princess takes this opportunity to seize all the assets of the first wife's family, you and your child will have a hard time in the future."

From the old lady's point of view, it is normal for a nine-year-old grandson to make a mistake. The most important thing here is Xiangdong's attitude and why Shen Cheng did this.

Xiang Dong seemed to understand, "Then what should I say after I enter the door?"

She used to be a maid in Qingyuanju, and later became the manager of the warehouse. Xiangdong knew how to respond and manage things as a servant. But her current status has changed, and she is worried about Shen Cheng, so she doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Su Qingyu knew that she was confused because of the situation, so she said softly, "It's just like when you replied to the old lady before. It's your responsibility. Don't shirk it, and don't make excuses."

"Just like what happened today, you knelt down in front of the old lady as soon as you entered the door and said that you did not discipline the child well."

"Then ask Shen Cheng about the specifics, and then apologize on his behalf. When you apologize, you say this..."

Su Qingyu whispered a few words to Xiangdong, and Xiangdong remembered them all.

"What happened in Xiangtang that night?" Xiangdong hesitated whether to tell him or not.

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "Just pretend it never happened."

The things behind Wanxiangtang were all their speculations. Now that the person hadn't been caught, and there was no evidence to implicate Li Chaoyun, it would be useless to talk about it.

After the discussion, everyone quickened their pace and headed towards Hanshui Courtyard.

When I entered the yard, I saw Shen Cheng kneeling by the wall not far away.

Xiang Dong felt distressed, but she did not rush over to cry. Instead, she glanced at Shen Cheng, gave him a comforting look, and followed Su Qingyu into the inner room.

The servant lifted the curtain, and Su Qingyu and Xiangdong walked in one after another.

The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. When the two entered, Danqing was carrying a bowl of medicine out.

Li Chaoyun, who had just taken the medicine, was half leaning against the head of the bed, while the old lady was sitting beside the bed.

Su Qingyu stepped forward to greet the old lady, asked a few questions about Li Chaoyun's health, and then stood aside.

Xiang Dong knelt in front of the old lady and said, "I failed to restrain the fifth young master, causing him to get into trouble. It's all my fault. Please punish me, old lady."

Even though she was already the second wife of the first house, Xiang Dong still acted like a slave in front of the old lady. She also thought that she was not a proper wife of the Shen family, so apart from taking care of the trivial matters of the first house, she never acted like a wife of the first house in the mansion.

What Xiangdong didn't know was that the old lady really blamed her in her heart. Everyone has selfish desires, and the old lady has one too. Shen Cheng made a big mistake, but Shen Cheng was her grandson, and he was still young, so the old lady couldn't bear to blame him. She blamed Xiangdong in her heart, blaming her for not being able to discipline a child properly.

If Xiangdong makes excuses as soon as she enters the house, the old lady will definitely be angry and punish her severely.

But as soon as Xiangdong entered the room, he knelt on the ground and took all the responsibilities on himself, and the old lady's anger subsided a little.

Li Chaoyun's eyes were swollen, and when he heard Xiangdong's apology, he said with disdain.

"It's good that Madam Xiang knows how to apologize. The Fifth Young Master was such a good child before, what have you taught him to be like? He has no respect for his elders and is extremely naughty."

"I think if this continues, it won't be surprising if they commit crimes."

Li Chaoyun had always looked down on the two illegitimate sons of the Shen family, and was pissed off by Shen Cheng, so he spoke without any scruples.

But she forgot that no matter whether Shen Cheng was born of a legitimate or illegitimate child, he was still the grandson of the old lady. Especially when the old lady got older, she loved the younger generation very much.

So when the old lady heard this, her brows immediately frowned.

But after all, it was Shen Cheng who made the mistake, so the old lady didn't say anything.

He just said to Xiangdong: "Go ask Cheng'er why he was so rude to her sister-in-law."

"The people below asked him several times, but he didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Li Chaoyun gritted his teeth and said, "What else could it be? I think they just can't tolerate the eldest young master's child."

"At such a young age, you already know how to exclude those who are different from you. I don't know who taught you that."
