famous concubine

Chapter 535
Outside, Ji Sulian, who was supposed to go far away, had a thought after going out the door, but when no one noticed, she dodged and hid under the nearby wall.

The voices of the madam and the doctor were not high; but faintly, Ji Sulian accidentally learned the truth from their intermittent conversations.

Driven by surprise and curiosity, she didn't go away. After watching the doctor leave in the shadows, she sneaked back in a fascinated manner, and continued to hide in the wall outside the door, eavesdropping on the interrupted time inside. continued talking.

After the doctor left, only Mama Rong, Dongfang Wu and Ping'er were left in the madam's room.

"Wu'er, tell mother, whose child is in your womb?" Madam didn't show any angry expression, even her eyes and tone were calm, and there was even a hint of joy in the depths of her eyes.

Dongfang Wu didn't speak, and didn't even move her eyes, as if she was still as stupid as before, as if she had lost the ability to speak because of going crazy, at this moment, facing Madam's persuasive questioning, she Act like a dumbass.

Madam waited for a while, and then continued to ask patiently: "Wu'er, mother has no other intentions, but just wants to know who the father of the child in your womb is. Think about it, when he is born in the future, you have to let him Know who your father is; have to let him know what his name is."

Silent, quiet, numb.

It was all the emotions that Dongfang Wu showed after entering this yard.If it wasn't for the strong bitter taste of the bowl of medicine that stimulated her sense of smell just now, she would not have vomited at all, and no one would have discovered that she was pregnant.

A young lady who was ordered by his wife to be locked up in Qixiang Garden all day, suddenly became pregnant. No matter how you say such a thing, it makes people feel weird and unimaginable.

Seeing this, Madam could only lower her eyes, and sighed deeply. She thought for a while, and then raised her eyes, but there was an incomparably threatening light, staring at Dongfang Wu who was standing behind Dongfang Wu and kept bowing her head, trying to reduce her sense of existence. Ping'er.

"Ping'er, you serve the eldest lady personally all day long. You are the most clear about her every move." Madam glanced at Dongfang Wu coldly, feeling aggrieved and helpless in her heart, if Dongfang Wu would tell her the truth At this time, why should she be such an ugly person, she must catch Ping'er and interrogate her like a spy, "If she doesn't tell, tell me, who is the father of the child?"

"Ma'am..." Ping'er bit his lip, lowered his head, and tremblingly walked up to Madam, and knelt down heavily with a pounce, "Slave...Although I serve the young lady day and night, I don't... Know what is going on with Missy's pregnancy!"

"Huh? You don't know? Then what do you do on weekdays? I asked you to take care of the eldest lady, and that's how you take care of her?"

Madam was ill and lacked of breath, so her voice was not loud, but she stared coldly.Ping'er immediately felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet, straight up to the top of his head.

Ping'er was frightened and frightened, dozing his head desperately.

Said: "Ma'am, there is no maidservant, there is really no maidservant; the maidservant has almost never left the eldest lady."

"Then, have you ever seen any of the servants in Qixiang Garden who are so bold as to sneak into the eldest lady's boudoir?" Madam thought and thought, and decided to check from the people around Qixiang Garden one by one.

She didn't believe it, and Dongfang Wu kept silent; she couldn't pry out the man's true face by herself.

Ping'er thought for a while, then shook his head cautiously, and said: "Madam, no, this servant has never seen any of the servants outside the second door come into the inner courtyard."

"Not a servant?" Madam didn't show much surprise in her expression, but subconsciously repeated, "Besides that, are there any other men who dare to touch Qixiang Garden?"

Ping'er thought for a long time with a sad face, then shook his head under the gloomy and uncertain eyes of the madam, and said: "Ma'am, the maidservant is usually close to the eldest lady, and the maidservant has never seen anyone enter the Qixiang Garden." .”

"Ma'am, you know that since the eldest lady... well, she rarely even goes out to Qixiang Garden, so naturally she has no chance to meet...men outside." Ping'er's voice was very low, although she buried her head Extremely low, but he had to risk his life to say this sentence.

Madam raised her eyebrows, smiled coldly, and said with obvious sarcasm in her voice, "That's strange, no one else entered Qixiang Garden; she also had no chance to go out to meet other men; now, Ping'er, tell me Me, where did the child in her stomach come from?"

"It's not like she can get pregnant by herself without a man, right?"

Madam's cold and sneering voice made Ping'er flinch unconsciously; kneeling on the ground, he dared not even move.

Madam is right; but she really didn't see any men coming in and out of Qixiang Garden; except...

A thought flashed across Ping'er's mind, and a light of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes; but only for a moment, the light dimmed like brilliant fireworks.

Madam has been silently staring at Ping'er, she can see all the subtle changes in Ping'er's whole body, and she can't escape her stare at all.

"Ping'er, did you think of something suspicious?" Madam withdrew her cold and coercive expression, with a hint of gentleness and temptation, "You might as well say it out, as the saying goes, one person counts against one's weaknesses, and two counts against one's strengths; It's better for you to speak up and let us discuss it together than to think about it by yourself."

"Madam." Hearing this, Ping'er timidly raised his head and glanced at Madam, bit his lip, thought for a while, and then murmured: "Actually, in fact... There is a person who often comes to Qixiang Garden; but, but……"

Ping'er hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to say that person's name openly.

The madam finally frowned impatiently, she lowered her face in displeasure, snorted coldly, and said, "Ping'er, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't hesitate here, my patience is limited."

Feeling Madam's burst of anger, Ping'er shook her shoulders, secretly bit the root of her teeth, her eyes suddenly showed a look of openness, and said in a low voice and quickly: "Madam, there have never been men in and out of Qixiang Garden; except... ...Except, since the young lady fell ill, the young master, he would come to Qixiang Garden to sit for a period of time almost every day, and..."

"Xian'er?" There was a strange gleam in Madam's eyes, hearing Ping'er's suspicion, it stands to reason that she should be furious; but she was not angry, just looked at Ping'er indifferently, "he Didn't you have anyone to wait on you when you were here?"

Ping'er was tremblingly waiting for Madam to get angry, but Madam's anomalous behavior that was so different from her conception made her stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she finally came to her senses and replied: "Eldest Young Master comes to Qixiang every time. No need for us to serve him, he usually enters the Missy's room when he comes, closes the door, saying that he wants to talk to the Missy, so that we don't want to disturb him; he usually stays in the Missy's room for an hour before leave……"
