Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 245: The No. 30 Scholar’s ​​Wife ()

"Madam, please calm down. The old lady was just angry for a moment. Once the matter has calmed down, she will definitely not blame you anymore."

However, Shen no longer had that much patience. She only wanted to deal with the old lady, or A Ci.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Liu'er, do one more thing for me."

After she finished speaking, she asked Liu'er to come closer to her ear. When Liu'er heard Shen's plan, she thought she was too crazy. The lady actually wanted A Ci's life.

But Shen threatened Liu'er with the lives of her relatives, and Liu'er had no choice but to do as Shen asked.

"Yes, the servant understands."

Liu'er agreed to this matter, knowing very well in her heart that there are some things she has no choice at all.

She secretly gave Aci medicine among the snacks that Aci usually ate, but Aci did not eat the snacks. Those snacks were all sent to the old lady's room.

After eating the snacks, the old lady vomited and had diarrhea and almost lost her life. It was Minister Fu who went to the palace to ask the imperial physician to treat the old lady.

He stayed by the old lady's side day and night, and only then was he able to save her life.

Minister Fu originally thought that the old lady was feeling unwell because she ate too many kinds of food. However, Shi Qing used a silver needle to test and found out that the pastries were poisonous.

After all, Minister Fu had a good relationship with the old lady. When he found out that the old lady was poisoned, his face changed and he just wanted to seek justice for the old lady.

The matter was very simple to investigate, and it was found out in just two or three days. It was Liu'er, an associate of Shen's, who sent the snacks. After the incident was exposed, Liu'er knew that her life was over, so she could only die to atone for her crime.

Minister Fu might have had some thoughts in his mind, but he did not take the matter to heart until Shi Qing insisted that it was Shen who wanted to poison A Ci, and then Minister Fu had to take the matter seriously.

Liu'er was eventually beaten to death, but before she died, she never mentioned who gave her the order.

In short, Liu'er was eventually beaten to death, and Minister Fu was so furious that he ground Liu'er into dust and scattered her ashes.

In addition to being busy with the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion every day, Shi Qing also personally took care of the old lady's diet, and the old lady's health gradually improved.

Shen couldn't hold back either. She lost an important chess piece, but the old woman was safe and sound. She was really defeated completely.

Shen stayed in the main courtyard every day. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was very melancholy in her heart.

Minister Fu's indifference and the changing attitudes of the people in the mansion towards her all reminded her that her current position was shaky.

However, she was powerless to change the status quo.

Things did not go as planned, and something went wrong, which led to her getting into trouble and even being plotted against.

Shen's mood became increasingly heavy, and her face was always shrouded in a layer of gloom.

She even lost her appetite due to her depressed mood.

Thinking back on what happened in the academy, she became more and more convinced that it must be Fu Qingning who was behind it.

If she hadn't been secretly interfering, things wouldn't have become so difficult.

As time went by, Shen gradually felt unwell.

She began to feel weak all over, and sometimes she would have a strong feeling of nausea, and her stomach would churn as if it was churning.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

Is she pregnant?

This idea made her very excited. If it was true, it would be her chance to turn things around!

At the same time, with Shen's tacit consent, the gardener no longer entered the main courtyard in the past two days.

At this time, Shen urgently needed a doctor to take her pulse and confirm whether she was pregnant.

So she asked the nanny beside her to go outside and ask a doctor to diagnose her.

"Go outside the mansion secretly and ask a reliable doctor to come over. Remember to act in secret and don't let anyone know about this, especially be wary of the people from Youlan Courtyard."

Hearing this, the nanny wrote down everything she said.

"Yes, ma'am."

After the nanny left, Shen became inexplicably irritated. After the old witch was poisoned, no one had picked a fight with the main courtyard.

But the same thing happens: the information we could get in the past is now nowhere to be found.

After the turmoil in the academy, although the groom was punished, Fu Yayun was still being framed. Shen was willing to believe that her son-in-law loved his daughter.

However, does he really not care about this kind of thing?

After thinking about it over and over again, Shen felt really tired.

It seems that she is feeling better now. She should ask her master for mercy and visit Yun'er properly.

There were snacks and nourishing soups on the wooden table, but Shen felt so nauseous that she couldn't eat a single bite. These things were sent by Shi Qing.

Shi Qing was never stingy in providing supplies to the main courtyard. After all, the Shen family would not be able to find any fault with it on the surface.

This is why Shen was depressed, but she didn't dare to act like a demon. If she made her master further away from her, wouldn't that be what the little bitch wanted?

After a cup of tea, the nanny quietly brought a doctor over.

The doctor was a veteran in the West Street of the capital. His medical skills were very superb, but most importantly, he kept his mouth shut and would not say anything that he shouldn't.

"Madam, the doctor is here."

The doctor's surname was Duan. He was a famous gynecologist in the capital. Many officials and their wives would pay him a large sum of money to diagnose their illnesses.

Doctor Duan bowed towards Shen and said respectfully.

"Meet Madam."

Shen hid behind the screen and said in a deep voice, "Doctor, I've been feeling very tired lately. Sometimes I can't eat, and I always feel a little unwell, but I don't know what the problem is. Please tell me."

Doctor Duan nodded slightly and began to check Shen's pulse through the screen and the hand pad, but found that Shen's pulse was a pulse of pregnancy. Her physical fatigue was exactly this symptom.

Doctor Duan stood up and congratulated Shen with a smile.

"Congratulations, Madam, on your two-month pregnancy. The fetus is now very stable. As long as Madam stays in a good mood and takes a walk in the courtyard every day, everything will be fine."

Two months...

Shen's mind couldn't help but recall the scene of her lovemaking with the gardener. She remembered this incident clearly, so of course she knew whose child was in her belly.

The gardener was young and energetic after all. She didn't expect that she would get pregnant so easily. As long as she gave birth to the child, what else could the old woman say?

Shen's mood suddenly brightened, and she quickly asked the nanny to give Doctor Duan a gift of wedding money and then asked the nanny to send him away.

When the nanny came back, Shen thought of Shi Qing and asked hurriedly.

"What has that bitch been doing these past two days?"

The nanny was puzzled. Why did Shen ask this?

However, she still said it respectfully.

"Recently, the eldest lady has been either at the academy or at the mansion settling accounts. I heard it was the old lady's request. By the way, the eldest lady is planning to go to the White Horse Temple tomorrow."

Shen was very sensitive about Shi Qing's affairs. She always couldn't help but want to see Shi Qing being trampled in the mud. How could the child born by the bitch Wan live better than her Yun'er?

She has always been petty and certainly cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes.

She said coldly to the people beside her, "Hurry up and arrange for manpower to make sure Fu Qingning never returns. Remember not to let anyone else know about this."

If the Wan family came to Beijing, Fu Qingning would have a backer. She knew Minister Fu's character and he always put himself first.

Shen didn't want Fu Qingning to be valued, so she was always wary of the dealings between Fu Shangshu and the Wan family.

Nanny is her confidant, and everything is centered around Shen. She will not disobey Shen at this moment, so she nodded heavily.

"The servant knows."

In the evening, Minister Fu accompanied the old lady for dinner. After hearing that the Wan family had come to Beijing, the old lady smiled and said to Shi Qing.

"Qingqing, when will your maternal grandparents come to Beijing?"

Shi Qing ate the food in her bowl calmly, but the smile on her face was a little distant. There were some things she would not tell in full.

"In reply to Grandmother, it will take at least three days to arrive in Beijing."

Upon hearing this, the old lady smiled and said, "If that's the case, when your maternal grandparents come to Beijing, you must bring them home. Our two families are still relatives, and we can't cut off contact."

These words were obviously spoken to Minister Fu, but he seemed a little absent-minded at the moment.

It was not until Nanny Wen reminded him that Minister Fu slowly bowed to the old lady and spoke respectfully.

"Mother is right. We should give our father-in-law a good reception."

The old lady recalled the past and said in a deep voice, "Baozhu's tablet is still enshrined in the White Horse Temple. Qingqing has been back for a long time. Her mother's tablet should be placed in the ancestral hall and receive incense and offerings. What's the point of putting it in the White Horse Temple?"

The old lady's words were fair, but when Minister Fu heard them, he felt a little guilty. He had only one reason for enshrining Wan Baozhu's tablet outside.

From the beginning to the end, he knew that Shen was the culprit who harmed Wan Baozhu.

Minister Fu once consulted a mage, and only then did he know that people who died unjustly carry evil spirits with them, which will affect their fortune over time.

He was worried that the fortune of the Shangshu Mansion would be affected, and at Shen's suggestion, he asked someone to seal Wan Baozhu's urn in the well of the White Horse Temple.

There were some things he thought he had planned carefully, but he didn't know that everything was already known.

"Yes, mother is right. I will bring Baozhu's tablet back to the mansion someday and perform a ritual for her."

Shi Qing put down the cup in his hand heavily and said in a bad tone.

"Father, do you know how the monks at the White Horse Temple offer their sacrifices?" Minister Fu's face was gloomy. "Of course they burn incense and offer sacrifices every day. The White Horse Temple has many pilgrims. Don't you think they are not doing their job properly?"

"Hmph!" Shi Qing snorted coldly, "Father, you are so naive! Do you think those monks will really offer proper offerings to Mother? They don't offer proper offerings at all! Even the incense and candles are of the worst quality."

When Minister Fu heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. "What? How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible?" Shi Qing looked at him coldly and smiled sarcastically.

"Of course, I'm not suspicious of the monks, but my father's attitude has made me suspicious. I once burned a stick of incense for my mother and discovered that the sandalwood they used was all defective, the lowest quality. Even more infuriating is that I heard that my father buried my mother's ashes under a well and sealed them with a spell."

Minister Fu's face was gloomy and he had absolutely no mood to eat.

He should have had a bright future, but the recent string of events had dealt him a heavy blow. Especially the incident involving his daughter, Fu Yayun. Although some time had passed, the gossip within the court had become increasingly outrageous.

After hearing these words, the old lady couldn't help but wonder: Could this be another rumor? After all, gossip in the court is often unreliable. However, when she saw Minister Fu's face turn so grim, she knew that the rumor was probably not groundless.

"Nonsense! How can you talk nonsense in front of your grandmother? Qingqing, I always indulged you in the past, but now I absolutely cannot let you act so willfully anymore." Minister Fu frowned and said to Shi Qing in a serious tone.

Shi Qing sneered, and the disdain in her eyes made Minister Fu's heart tremble. She threw the dishes in her hands heavily to the ground and said coldly.

"Grandma, Qingqing is full. Today, I will treat it as my disobedience and unfilial behavior."

After saying this, Shi Qing left with her maidservant, leaving Minister Fu no chance to speak.

The old lady didn't know how to comfort her son. She just felt that her son was too confused. Although Wan came from a merchant family, she had a gentle temperament and was the best choice to be his wife.

If Wan Baozhu's death was related to Minister Fu, the old lady didn't know what to say, and she only felt a trembling in her heart.

The Fu family had let Qingqing down, and the old lady felt a little guilty. She thought that the fact that Shen hadn't gotten pregnant over the years might be a punishment from God.

“Jungkook, have you ever done something like this?”

Minister Fu knelt down in front of the old lady and said with a sullen face.

"My son is only thinking about the Shangshu Mansion. Baozhu has passed away. Now he is just helping us. It is not a serious matter."

When the old lady heard this, she was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "You bastard, how could you do such a foolish thing? It's me who has let my in-laws down."

The old lady said this with deep sorrow, and asked Nanny Wen to drive Minister Fu away. That night, the old lady was in so much pain that she didn't want to talk.

After all, the Shangshu Mansion is a scholarly family. Isn’t this bastard afraid of being struck by lightning for doing such a thing?

That night, the old lady left the Shangshu Mansion and went to a nunnery in the capital to recuperate. She wanted to pray for her deceased daughter-in-law and atone for the sins of Shangshu Fu.

In the other main courtyard, Shen couldn't help but ask someone to invite Minister Fu to come over.

Unexpectedly, Minister Fu was in a very bad mood and quickly declined politely.

"Please let your wife rest. I still have some official business to attend to. Please go down."

The nanny knew Shen's temper. If she left like this, she would definitely not have a peaceful tomorrow. So, the nanny knelt down and her tone became even more serious when she looked at Minister Fu.

"Sir, my wife is pregnant. She has lost her appetite these past two days and only wants to see you. Please have mercy on our wife."

After saying this, the nanny kowtowed heavily, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't be fake.

Minister Fu was looking at the article in his hand, a little absent-minded. After hearing what the nanny said, he slowly came back to his senses.

After all, she was the woman he had loved for many years, so he was ultimately tolerant and generous towards her and loved her very much.

His expression changed slightly as he stood there in a daze, looking at the person next to him and asked in confusion.

"Wait! What did you say just now? Madam is pregnant?" Minister Fu asked in surprise.

The nanny nodded hesitantly. "Yes, sir, it's absolutely true. Madam has been pregnant for over two months. If she hadn't felt unwell a few days ago and sent for a doctor, we wouldn't have known this good news."
