Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 233: The No. 18 Scholar’s Wife ()
"Second Miss, please don't speak so arrogantly. Our young lady has always been well-educated, well-mannered, and self-disciplined. She would never do such a thing. You are going too far in slandering her like this."
Fu Yayun refused to give in and continued to curse.
"You two, master and servant, are truly shameless. You've done something wrong and yet you still dare to be stubborn."
Mingyue couldn't stand it any longer and retorted.
"You are so unreasonable. I will definitely tell the old lady about this matter and let her judge it.
If you continue to make trouble and even slander my young lady, don't blame me for being rude. I will go directly to the old lady to complain and let her handle the matter."
Fu Yayun didn't care. She would never give up until she saw Fu Qingning.
There were bursts of noise coming from outside the Youlan Courtyard, and Shi Qing naturally heard it, but she was not in a hurry. She waited until many people gathered outside the courtyard before she walked out of the courtyard calmly.
Fu Yayun looked angry and haggard. Shi Qing couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "Second sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
Fu Yayun gnashed her teeth in anger and said viciously, "Fu Qingning, do you still have any shame? How dare you secretly seduce my husband! If I find out that you two have any contact, I will tear your face apart!"
The servants of the Shangshu Mansion couldn't help but whisper to each other when they heard this. They really couldn't understand why the second young lady would suddenly slander the eldest young lady's reputation like this? Did she take some wrong medicine?
Shi Qing raised his hand and slapped Fu Yayun hard. The slap was extremely heavy and there was almost no mercy at all.
There was still a smile on her face, but the coldness in her eyes made Fu Yayun shudder inexplicably.
Fu Yayun was knocked to the ground and fell beside the flower pot. The thorny roses pierced her cheeks and blood slowly flowed out. Although there were only a few drops of blood, it was still terrifying to look at.
"Next time, if you offend me again, I will definitely not be polite. Fu Yayun, you are not my biological sister. I don't need to be tolerant and generous to you. Put away your princess temper. After all, you are just the daughter of a lowly concubine. You really don't know any rules."
Fu Yayun's eyes were slightly red, tears welling up in them: "I won't allow you to have any contact with Zhou Wenqing! What is your relationship?! Stay away from him, or I will take your life!"
Mingyue said hurriedly, "Second Miss, please be careful with your words. My young lady is a clean and honest person. She is definitely not a shameless person who covets other people's husbands."
Shi Qing approached Fu Yayun, her eyes full of disdain. She curled the corners of her mouth and lowered her voice.
"You think the person you're marrying is someone everyone wants. If I really knew him, why was he so cold and indifferent to me, or even kept his distance from me?
Fu Yayun, Fu Yayun, not only are you blind, but your brain is also not working well. How can you not see that your so-called pillow partner is actually a Zhongshan wolf! "
Hearing these words, Fu Yayun was so angry that her face turned blue, and her lips trembled as she said, "You...how dare you insult my husband! I absolutely won't allow you to say a bad word about him!"
Shi Qing laughed contemptuously and didn't want to bother with this stupid woman anymore. He turned around and ordered the maid beside him to drive Fu Yayun away.
After watching Fu Yayun being kicked out of the room, Shi Qing shook his head helplessly, thinking that this love-brained person was really hopeless.
However, the original owner's death seemed to have no direct relationship with Fu Yayun, but in fact they were inextricably linked.
After all, Fu Yayun was also one of the indirect factors that led to the original owner's death, so she did not think Fu Yayun was completely innocent.
Fu Yayun left Shi Qing's yard angrily. Feeling indignant, she decided to go to Hesong Hall to ask the old lady for justice.
However, when she arrived at Hesong Hall, she found that the old lady had locked herself in and was obviously trying to avoid her.
Faced with this situation, Fu Yayun felt very disappointed and angry.
She had hoped to get the old lady's support and help, but now it seemed that everything was in vain. In the end, she could only return to her residence helplessly, feeling frustrated.
Her face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip, and Xiu Wen beside her hurriedly comforted her.
"Madam, please don't bother with the eldest lady. From what I see, she just wants to alienate the relationship between you and your son-in-law. Our son-in-law has a bright future, so he must look down on the eldest lady."
Fu Yayun touched her face and found bloodstains on it, probably from the injury she had just received.
Fu Qingning, this bitch, is so vicious that she even wants to ruin her appearance.
After Fu Yayun left, the old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and fatigue in her eyes.
Then he lowered his voice and spoke to Nanny Wen beside him.
"If you come to see me again, tell me that I'm not feeling well and can't see guests."
The old lady sighed and continued.
"The second girl runs to her parents' house all day long, whether she has something to do or not. How can that be?" Her tone revealed her disapproval of this behavior.
Nanny Wen understood the meaning of the old lady's words, but still couldn't help asking.
"Old Madam, you usually love the Second Miss the most, why do you suddenly stop caring about her now?"
The old lady snorted softly, a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes, and then she replied.
"Her mother instigated the master and is almost turning against me. Now she comes to me to ask for help. She is so delusional! Qingqing is very resourceful. Let the second girl suffer on her own."
Nanny Wen suddenly realized and finally understood the old lady's intention. It turned out that she wanted to use this incident to suppress the Shen family.
At the same time, he was also taking this opportunity to teach Fu Yayun a lesson.
"What a good trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife!"
Nanny Wen sighed inwardly and couldn't help but admire the old lady's methods.
The old lady was in a good mood and ate two extra bowls of rice today. She raised her eyebrows and continued to speak to Nanny Wen.
"Continue to send the health-repairing medicine to Shen, so that she can take good care of her body. I feel sorry for her." The old lady suddenly said.
"Madam, what do you mean?" asked Nanny Wen in confusion.
"If Shen can give birth to a child, then Fu Qingci will be the adopted son of the Fu family. If Shen cannot get pregnant, the child will be the eldest son of the Fu family." A smile appeared on the old lady's lips.
"Madam, you are going to..." Nanny Wen opened her mouth in surprise.
"I want to see if Shen is really that lucky!" said the old lady with a sneer.
No matter how much Shen Shi wins the favor of Minister Fu, now that the two of them are having a disagreement, the old lady will naturally not miss this opportunity.
*
The main courtyard of the Shen family sent a lot of medicinal soups for health care, which were specially prepared by the old lady.
"Madam, the medicine has been boiled. Please drink it while it's hot." The maids walked into the room carefully carrying the tray and said softly.
Shen looked at the medicine in front of her, her face turning grim. She had been in a low mood since her last argument with Minister Fu.
But now, the old lady sent so many medicines, which made her feel very helpless.
"Put it down. I'll drink it later." Shen waved her hand, signaling the maids to put the tray on the table.
However, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the person sent by the old lady walked in.
"Madam, the old lady said that these medicines are carefully brewed. I hope you can drink them as soon as possible and recover your health soon."
Nanny Wen said respectfully.
Shen frowned, secretly groaning inwardly. She knew that the old lady had sent someone to supervise her drinking the medicine just to make sure she actually drank it.
However, these pills were so unpalatable that they made her feel nauseous and uncomfortable every time she drank them.
"Okay, I'll drink it right away."
Shen picked up the bowl, looked at the black medicine inside, and smelled the unpleasant odor. She felt extremely painful in her heart.
But in order to prevent the old lady from finding fault, she had to bite the bullet and drink the medicine in one gulp.
After drinking the medicine, Shen felt as if her throat was burning and her stomach was churning.
She quickly took a piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth, trying to ease the bitter taste in her mouth, but the effect was not obvious.
"Oh, when will this day end..." Shen said to herself with a bitter face.
She almost vomited, but Nanny Wen said calmly.
"The old lady said that once Madam gives birth to a legitimate son for the Fu family, she will not need to drink this medicine anymore."
Nanny Wen conveyed this sentence to her verbatim, then picked up the medicine bowl and slowly left the room.
Shen's originally gentle face broke in an instant, revealing a gloomy and distorted expression, as if an evil ghost crawled out of hell, which was creepy.
She hadn't seen Minister Fu for a long time since he left home. How could she get pregnant now?
Moreover, there was a secret hidden deep in Shen's eyes - more than ten years ago, she had personally given Minister Fu a sterilization drug.
Even if they slept together again, she would never be pregnant. This secret was known only to a very few people, and Shen would rather die than reveal a single word.
However, at this moment, she had an idea. Since the old woman only wanted a legitimate grandson, as long as she gave birth to the child, it didn't matter whether it was her biological child or not.
Shen's chest heaved violently, and her heartbeat grew louder and louder, like a wild weed growing wildly, unable to be stopped...
She was determined to hold on to the position of the Shangshu Mansion's wife, and she had no choice but to do so because of the old woman's constant pressure.
Shen Shuer gradually calmed down and just waited for the plan to be implemented.

The autumn examination has ended, and many students have been recommended to enter the official career in the court.
Among them, there were three students under Zhou Wenqing's name. Because of their excellent articles, they were praised by Emperor Wen'an and were given small official positions.
Although the official position is low, the power is great, not to mention that he is a Beijing official, which is also very enviable.
Zhou Wenqing was highly praised by Emperor Wen'an for this incident. He was granted the title of fourth-rank cabinet scholar. If he made further achievements in the future, he would be a candidate for the position of Prime Minister.
Although it sounds far-fetched, Zhou Wenqing is extremely capable to have reached this position in just one year.
Having said that, his official position was also secretly assisted by Empress Dowager Yuan, who said a lot of good things about him in front of Emperor Wen'an.
Therefore, Emperor Wen'an appointed Zhou Wenqing as a scholar right after the autumn examination.
After the morning court session ended, many ministers congratulated Zhou Wenqing.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou. You are truly young and promising, with a bright future ahead of you."
"Master Zhou, please take good care of my useless boy."
"Yes, Master Zhou, my daughter also wants to study at the White Deer Academy."
……
Facing the ministers' congratulations and requests, Zhou Wenqing responded modestly, "Your Excellencies, thank you for your compliments. I feel truly unworthy of them!"
However, he knew in his heart that although these people were respectful to him on the surface, they were actually people who curry favor with the powerful and change their minds according to the situation.
After the ministers left, Zhou Wenqing's eyes, which had been smiling, suddenly became cold.
He recalled that when he first became the top scholar, the ministers in the court did not take him seriously at all and even suppressed him secretly.
At that time, he could only endure it all silently and work hard to improve his abilities.
Now, after a year of hard work, he has finally straightened his spine and become the focus of everyone's attention.
Those powerful people who once looked down on him now have to humble themselves and curry favor with him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenqing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and he was in a good mood.
Although he knew that their words might contain flattery, he still felt very happy.
One day, he will definitely climb higher.
At this moment, a voice came: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."
The man's cold voice sounded, and the sound was as low and pleasant as a bell or drum.
Zhou Wenqing raised his head slightly, his gaze meeting Situ Jin's. This man was the youngest prime minister of this dynasty! Despite his reputation for being unlucky in marriage, at only thirty, he had achieved such success that those rumors naturally didn't matter.
Moreover, the Situ family has been officials for generations, and the family has a deep foundation and great wealth. No matter what Situ Jin's identity is, he is out of reach for Zhou Wenqing.
Zhou Wenqing was born in poverty. Although he considered himself noble, he couldn't help feeling a little inferior in front of Situ Jin.
Of course, Zhou Wenqing did not show this emotion on the surface.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Situ." Zhou Wenqing said lightly.
Situ Jin smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows, and asked softly, "I heard that Mr. Zhou's hometown is Yunxi Village in Qingshui County?"
Zhou Wenqing was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Situ Jin to ask this suddenly.
"That's right, but how did the Prime Minister know that?"
Zhou Wenqing frowned, his expression darkening. He was very sensitive about his past, especially his humble origins, and had always been reluctant to have it mentioned. Now, Situ Jin's blunt questioning made him feel very unhappy and irritated.
However, facing a figure like Situ Jin, Zhou Wenqing did not dare to offend him easily.
After all, Situ Jin's status is higher than his, and if he can make friends with him, it will be helpful to him.
Situ Jin didn't seem to notice Zhou Wenqing's displeasure and continued.
"The girl my grandfather rescued two months ago also happens to be in Qingshui County. She's your wife's eldest sister. I wonder if she's an old acquaintance of yours?"
