Chapter 266 - Check if She Is Pregnant (2/2)
There were only three people with different expressions left in the room. Shi Junhe was still confused and then asked Shi Qingxue, “Qingxue, you came here in a rush not just for a cup of wine, right?”
In fact, it was needless to check it, and Shi Junhe believed that Leng Yan wouldn’t poison him.
After all, on this occasion, Leng Yan would do that only if she was crazy. Otherwise, after she took actions, she couldn’t escape.
So Shi Junhe believed that Leng Yan said she had merely added philter to the wine, and he didn’t think that it was necessary to ask a doctor to check it.
Shi Qingxue nodded at Shi Junhe and admitted it. “Father, you observed carefully. Since I arrived in such a hurry, of course, I came not just for a cup of wine.”
While speaking, she suddenly gazed at Leng Yan sharply and stated straightforwardly, “I suspect that your concubine Leng Yan is pregnant now.”
“What?”
“No!”
Shi Junhe and Leng Yan shouted almost at the same time.
One of them looked confused and surprised, and the other was in panic.
It happened that Shi Junhe paid attention to Shi Qingxue’s words and didn’t look at Leng Yan. Otherwise, Leng Yan disguised clumsily and everything would be revealed.
Shi Qingxue was satisfied with the two people’s reactions and enjoyed the scene for a while in a great mood. Then she explained unhurriedly, “I know that what I said is unbelievable, so I planned to ask both Doctor Qin and Doctor Shen to come. They are wise doctors and won’t misjudge.
“Am I right, Leng Yan?”
It was the first time for Shi Qingxue to call Leng Yan’s name so officially with no disdain, but it made the maid’s heart sink.
Leng Yan felt that she was like a frog which was targeted by a poisonous snake, and the other party could bite her to death at any time.
But Leng Yan finally reached this point with difficulty and could soon live a good life as a master, so how would she be willing to give it up?
She took a deep breath, and the panic on her face was concealed soon.
She looked calm and courageous with sufficient reasons.
Then she stared at Shi Qingxue and stated calmly, “Lady Qingxue, please speak with caution. I don’t have an honorable identity like you, but I am a maid of the princess royal anyway, and the marriage was granted by her. If I can say something boldly, I represent her face.
“Lady Qingxue, you said that you would check my body with no evidence. Although I am well-behaved and don’t fear it, you can’t bully me willfully.”
Leng Yan said that with certainty and reasons. Even though Shi Qingxue had known that the maid wouldn’t surrender easily, she was left speechless with wonder because Leng Yan was so shameless.
Leng Yan had the face to mention Mo Shujun unexpectedly.
But did she really think that Mo Shujun could do everything?
Since she knew Mo Shujun and Shi Juncai’s dirty plans, Shi Qingxue got the worst impression of her grandma, and she wouldn’t care whether she would harm the princess royal’s dignity after she did that.
“Humph! Do you think that you can escape from the disaster after you say that?” Shi Qingxue snorted and didn’t plan to listen to Leng Yan talking endlessly. She would check as soon as Shen Luo and the others came.
They would know if she was pregnant after checking.
Seeing that Shi Qingxue’s eyes were resolute, Leng Yan felt scared again.
She had never known that Shi Qingxue was so bold that she didn’t even take Mo Shujun seriously.
Leng Yan had to look at Shi Junhe for help who kept silent all the time. “My Lord, Lady Qingxue doesn’t care about the princess royal’s dignity, and don’t you care, either?
“If the news spreads, the outsiders may merely say that you suspect that I am immoral, but if they make it worse, they would comment on the princess royal’s family disciplines. Can you bear to see that?”
“Family disciplines?” Shi Qingxue coldly interrupted Leng Yan and pointed out with no mercy, “Are you family of my grandma? How can you mention the family disciplines? If we really find something, she just raises an ungrateful dog at most.
“Moreover, you have married into the East House now, so you have nothing to do with the Shou’an Hall. Even if outsiders gossip, they would comment on my father at most, and how would they blame my grandma?
“Stop confusing the public.”
Step by step, Shi Qingxue broke Leng Yan’s dream about taking Mo Shujun as a shield, and she was determined to expose this maid’s ugly face.
Leng Yan understood Shi Qingxue’s determination almost in an instant, so she felt desperate and sat on the floor in frustration.
However, Shi Junhe expressed in a deep voice at the moment, “Qingxue, you can’t do that.”
“What?”
The two girls looked at Shi Junhe at the same time.
Shi Qingxue looked puzzled, while Leng Yan’s eyes lit up.
Shi Junhe’s face fell and he shook his head at Qingxue, saying solemnly, “You can’t check her body now.”
“Why…”
Noticing Leng Yan’s face with the light of hope, Shi Qingxue shouted angrily at once.
Nevertheless, before she finished her words, she understood something while reading Shi Junhe’s gloomy face.
Even though she didn’t care about Mo Shujun, Shi Junhe wouldn’t totally ignore his mother as he didn’t know the truth.
What should she do?
Should she tell the truth directly or give it up?
