The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Song Shengfu stopped talking and asked softly about Duan Jingyi's health these days, without even glancing at Yu.

Seeing this, Old Madam Huang ordered the servants beside her: "Third Madam is not feeling well, why don't you help her down to rest."

Two strong women came forward and seemed to be supporting her, but in fact they were half dragging and half pulling her away.

Yu's face was filled with humiliation. She thought that Madam Duan would take advantage of this opportunity to be sarcastic and difficult for her, or that she would just let it go with a light touch.

However, she didn't expect that Madam Duan Hou didn't take her seriously at all, and didn't even look at her in the end.

What right does she have? She is just a fallen lapdog who has clung to Concubine Ning.

Yu was carried back to the courtyard. The two maids said in a cold voice, "The old lady said that if Third Madam is not feeling well, she can wait until the noon banquet starts before attending."

Then people stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, which meant house arrest.

Yu was so angry that she picked up the coral bonsai beside her and was about to throw it down, but she thought that things were different now and she couldn't repair the broken things immediately.

Yu suppressed her anger and put the coral bonsai back, sitting there alone and sulking.

Song Shengfu was relieved only after she carefully asked Duan Jingyi if she was okay. As for Yu, she had long forgotten about her. She was just a young woman and she was too lazy to bother with her.

Old Madam Huang smiled somewhat awkwardly. It was bad enough that the concubine's daughter-in-law bullied the legitimate daughter-in-law, but she was even seen by her own mother.

If it was the Duan family of the past, it would be fine, but now she has heard from the old man that the Duan family may still have a prosperous future.

A potential in-law is much better than a declining noble family.

"I'm so sorry for making you laugh today."

Song Shengfu looked at the old lady in front of her. She was fair and plump, wearing a dark red ice silk layered skirt. The headband on her head made her look much more energetic.

But I think I have been more depressed in the past few years. When I don’t smile, the wrinkles on my face make me look much more serious and rigid.

"No way, I know all this. I haven't been out and about for so many years. I didn't expect it had been difficult for you all these years."

Old Madam Huang originally thought that Song Shengfu would take this opportunity to seek justice for her eldest daughter-in-law, and she had prepared some words to respond, but she ended up saying this.

She hadn't been understood like this in many years. She was unprepared and felt a little sad when she heard it at first.

She married a promising husband, gave birth to a son, and had many concubines in the house.

There was nothing wrong with being the head of the household, but I never expected that the more power I had, the more biased my husband would become.

But he never favored them. He and Jing had been feeling very depressed over the years, being severely oppressed by those concubines who gave birth to children one after another.

When her son got married, he married a girl from an aristocratic family. But she never expected that she would not have a child for so many years. She hated those illegitimate children and her own son did not want a illegitimate child. So it dragged on like this, and she was already thirty years old and still childless.

Outsiders say she is mean, but who knows her pain?

"I didn't expect Sister Song to understand me. I thought..."

Song Shengfu, under the banner of sincerity for sincerity, looked at Madam Huang and said comfortingly:

"What do you think? I'm not the unreasonable kind of person. I've seen you taking care of Jingyi all these years. It's her who's not doing her part."

Then he added, "It's not easy for any of us women. Wait until Jingyi gives birth to the baby, and you can relax."

When people get old, there are always fewer people around them who can say heartfelt words to them. Now, after hearing what Song Shengfu said, Mrs. Huang's heart warmed a little.

Thinking of what her son had said to her and what they had done before she got pregnant, Old Madam Huang became a little excited.

After hesitating for a long time, he first sent Duan Jingyi away, then approached Song Shengfu and asked:

"Sister Song, just so you know, Jingyi is almost seven months pregnant, and I'm always feeling very anxious."

Old Madam Huang didn't say it explicitly, but Song Shengfu knew what she meant. She wanted her to give a clear answer.

Song Shengfu clapped her hands and said with an enigmatic look:

"I know that. I won't beat around the bush. That recipe is indeed effective. Believe me, if they had taken it according to the recipe, there's a good chance they wouldn't have gotten away with it."

"Really, really?"

"Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you, may the Bodhisattva bless you."

Old Madam Huang was praying to Buddha with her hands together, which made Song Shengfu feel a little nervous. The guarantee was given, and she hoped that the relationship with the Duan family's ancestors would be strengthened.

But she also had a trick up her sleeve. There was probably another one left, and she said that the medicine had to be taken according to the recipe. There would be nothing they could do if something went wrong.

Song Shengfu chatted with Old Madam Huang non-stop, from their children and grandchildren to their youth, and then to how those sisters from their youth were doing now.

"Do you still remember Yang Daiying from the Dongyang Yang family?"

"Yang Daiying, let me think, oh, is she the one who later married into the Weiping Palace?"

"Yes, that's her. You may not know this, but she and Prince Weiping are now at odds."

Song Shengfu suddenly became excited. Isn't this the aristocratic version of entertainment news?

"What happened to her? Sister Xue, please tell me quickly. You know, I haven't been out for so many years, so I don't know a lot of things."

Mrs. Huang’s surname is Xue, and her full name is Xue Yihua.

Madam Huang looked as if she knew you didn't know, and she whetted Song Shengfu's appetite before she spoke:

"Didn't she have no biological children? Now she has a child she adopted from a concubine. She's taken great care of him over the years, and he's even the third place winner of the Mingde Imperial Examination. But then, during the Summer Palace this year, she discovered..."

Madam Huang paused for a moment before continuing, her tone full of sarcasm and sympathy.

"It was discovered that the child's biological mother was the murderer who killed her son and made her infertile. And she actually raised the murderer's child for more than 20 years!!"

Song Shengfu: Big news!

This damn long-lost feeling, Song Shengfu recalled the memory of her original body and asked quickly:

"I remember she gave birth to a child that year, but it caused a huge uproar. We even called in the imperial physician, but she still died. I don't know what happened after that. I didn't expect she couldn't keep the child."

"That's right. The child died after being raised for more than four months. Yang Daiying almost died with him, but Prince Weiping hired a royal physician to save him."

Song Shengfu was a little curious. How could this matter be suddenly discovered after being kept secret for so many years?

"It's been over twenty years since this happened, how come it was discovered all of a sudden?"

"It's such a coincidence. The child she raised got married a long time ago and is now a few months old. Isn't it true that seeing her grandson reminds her of her own child who died in infancy?"

"When the child died, Prince Weiping ordered all related items to be collected. Yang Daiying then ordered them to be taken out. She felt that since she already had a grandson, it was time to let go, so she prepared to pack up some of the things and burn them with the child."

Song Shengfu was fascinated by what she heard. After hearing this, she said, "Did you find something?"

"How do you know?" Mrs. Huang was a little confused.

Song Shengfu said it was a guess, and quickly urged Madam Huang to continue.
