C78 (2/2)

”That's the weird part.” Auntie Xiao caught her breath, her brows knitted tightly, as she said in a puzzled manner, ”I had clearly instructed Ding Xiang to tamper with the First Lady's medicine, so logically speaking, her body should be extremely weak right now, and she wouldn't be able to get out of bed at all. But just now, she didn't seem like an ill person at all.”

”Could it be that they have already sensed it? Could it be that Ding Xiang, that lowly slave, betrayed us? ” When Lian Shi Ya recalled it again, she felt that something was off.

”What you said is reasonable. If they did not notice that we were on guard, First Lady would not have been able to appear at the birthday banquet today.” The Auntie Xiao nodded.

”This time, when the Eldest Miss returned, she became so strange, as if everything has changed and is no longer within our control.” The Senior Servant Zhen said as he caressed his swollen face.

”Hmph.” The Auntie Xiao snorted, ”I was the one who underestimated this slut. Although she may look harmless, she is actually more ruthless than anyone else. Today, she borrowed our strength and killed three birds with one stone, trapping us, the Second Wife, and the father and son duo of the Su Family.

”Then what should we do now?” Lian Shi Ya asked worriedly.

”Although your father pushed all the blame to that Su Quan bastard who killed a thousand times over, he must still be suspecting us in his heart. Right now … ”Let's not rush to make a move on the mother and daughter. The first thing we must do is to take back your father's heart.” Auntie Xiao said.

”Then what should we do?” Lian Shi Ya was now very worried that she would lose her favour because of this.

Auntie Xiao walked to the door and looked outside. She saw that the sky was dark and gloomy and seeing that a heavy rain was about to arrive, she turned her head and decisively said:

”Go, go to your father!”

In the middle of the night, Fuan House's surroundings were completely quiet.

”Don't...” He only heard a sharp scream that broke the silence. maidservants, who was on night duty, jumped in shock and hurriedly stood up.

”Stand still, I'm going in to take a look.” As Zhou mama spoke, he hurriedly led the way and entered the room. He saw that First Lady had sat up on the bed and was holding onto his clothes tightly.

When Zhou mama got closer, he found that her face was pale and covered in sweat. His hair was also wet and stuck to his cheeks.

She bowed and said, ”Madame, what's wrong?”

First Lady held her hand tightly, her eyes red, and asked anxiously, ”Zhou mama, that child of mine, where did you send her back then? How was her life now? I dreamed of her again. She was a beggar on the street and had nothing to eat. I wanted to hug her, but I just couldn't walk over. My legs were too weak. ”

”Madame!” The corner of Zhou mama's eyes jumped, he immediately placed his finger on First Lady's lips, looked left and right, turned around and hurriedly closed the door, then returned back to her side and lowered his voice, ”Madame, the wall has ears, don't ever mention that matter again, just pretend like it never happened.”

First Lady leaned against the headboard of the bed, painfully closing her eyes, and muttered, ”Every time I see Jue Er, I can't help but think of that child, and my heart never has a day of peace.”

Zhou mama took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat and tears on her face, and said gently, ”Madame, back then, you had no choice but to make this decision. Even Master Old Mistress and was looking forward to it, the concubines were entering the house one by one, if you don't have a boy …”
