Chapter 403: Their respective layouts
Rong Jingqiu refused to say anything about Shufei's words, but she didn't take it seriously anyway. She pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head.
Seeing Rong Jingqiu's reaction, Shufei thought she was embarrassed. After all, she was a young girl. She did not think deeply and continued to pull Rong Jingqiu to say something close to home. She was nothing more than caring about her reaction during pregnancy and then teaching her experience as a person who had experienced it.
Rong Jingqiu nodded constantly to show that she knew, and finally she had to say a few polite words. After all, Concubine Shu was just Zhao Yu's adoptive mother.
"You child, be polite to me again." Concubine Shu pretended to be displeased and looked back and forth in the mansion. "You are pregnant now, and you can't care about these trivial matters anymore. Everything should be based on the fetus..."
"Don't worry, Mother Shu, I can save it." Rong Jingqiu didn't know what medicine she was going to sell in this trip. This woman has always liked to pretend to be superficial, so she could only respond with slander.
Concubine Shu patted her hand, thought carefully, and then said, "This time I came here, I was worried that you would not be at ease if I didn't see you in person, but I did it," she paused, and saw Rong Jingqiu listening carefully, and then smiled kindly, "I brought someone here, don't be upset when you see it..."
Rong Jingqiu was curious now. Who did Concubine Shu bring? She actually talked to her so carefully. No matter how she thought about it, she felt strange.
"Look at what Mother Shu said, no matter who you brought, how can we be annoyed by the younger generation?"
When Shufei heard Rong Jingqiu say this, she looked relieved and winked at the trusted nanny who was following her. The nanny immediately stepped back with knowledge, as if she was going to bring the person in person.
Rong Jingqiu narrowed her eyes slightly, so mysterious? She couldn't help but think secretly, who is worthy of the troubles of Concubine Shu?
Without her waiting for more, the answer was revealed. When she saw Madam Dou and Concubine Shu's confidant Madam, she stood up suddenly. This was really beyond her expectations. She never thought that these two people would get together.
Slowly, she gently stroked her already big belly and sat down slowly. When she turned to look at Concubine Shu, she smiled and said, "When I heard that Concubine Shu said, I was still wondering who it would be, but I didn't know it was Madam Dou."
Concubine Shu kept staring at Rong Jingqiu's reaction, and seeing that she could still laugh, it seemed that the conflict with Madam Dou was not deep enough to be resolved. "Madam Dou was personally appointed by Yu'er's biological mother back then. She has taken care of Yu'er for many years, and she has worked hard. The conflict that day was indeed wrong. Let's do this. For the sake of Yu'er's dead mother, I also want to be a peacemaker for my own sake. You can give her a chance to make a mistake. How about it?"
Madam Dou got the secretly sent a look of Concubine Shu and immediately knelt down and said, "Princess, I was so sad that I dared to provoke the princess that day. I really know how to repent," she cried a few times, and then continued, "Your Highness is the one who has grown up when I see that Your Highness is about to be a father. I feel indescribable to express my gratitude. During this period, I dreamt of Concubine Rou. She asked the princess how many bowls of rice can be eaten every day after she became pregnant? How could I answer? Concubine Rou looked disappointed when she left. The princess felt deeply ashamed of Concubine Rou, Your Highness, and the princess..." At this point, she was already crying in a disgrace.
Concubine Shu quickly waved her hand and said, "Okay, hurry up and wash your face and then come back to speak. I know that you are loyal to Concubine Rou, and I believe Yu'er's wife will understand."
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Rong Jingqiu would have wanted to laugh. It's hard for the two of them to act in such an embarrassing scene, and even brought out Zhao Yu's dead mother. Isn't it just that she tried so hard that Madam Dou wanted to return to the palace?
If it were before, she would never agree. She believed this old pious woman, no matter what, but now, she doesn't think so. She wants to know why Concubine Shu and Madam Dou are so deliberate in acting like this?
She lowered her eyes slightly. Even if there was no such thing as Shu Concubine, she was thinking of a way to bring Madam Dou back to the palace without any trace and observe it in person. She could not change her nature. Madam Dou's actions in her previous life would probably make a comeback in this life. She wanted to catch her painful foot, and to completely solve the puzzle that made her heart-wrenching in her previous life.
If it's what she thought, then she...
Her whole body couldn't help but tense, and her heart was cut off whenever she thought of her child being wandered away.
When Madam Dou came back to wash up, she said, "Since Madam Dou knows that she has repented, then go back to the house to serve. Your Highness is just talking about you. I hope you don't want to do the same thing again in the future, otherwise no matter who pleads for you, I will spare you then."
The last sentence was said to Concubine Shu in a vague way. The one who wants to force the person back is Concubine Shu, but if Madam Dou wants to do something that harms her, then Concubine Shu won’t think about pleading for her again.
When Shufei heard this, she hurriedly said, "That's natural," and then looked at Madam Dou with a stern face, "Master, have you heard clearly? If there is any mistake in the future, don't blame me for being merciless. If you don't talk about what Yu'er's wife will happen, I will deal with you first."
Madam Dou hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "I thanked the Empress and the Princess for giving me the chance to reform. I vowed that I would never do it again." She lowered her head and covered the hatred and hostility in her eyes. When she looked up again, she smiled kindly on her face.
Rong Jing waved her hand and signaled Madam Dou to get up, "There are rules for each mansion. Now the one who manages the trivial matters in the mansion for me is that I have a wet nurse Madam Lin and Madam Dou. In the future, you can follow Madam Lin's instructions." He turned to look at Concubine Shu again, "Mother Shu, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
Concubine Shu knew that it was not her turn to point fingers at other people's family affairs. This time, she had already crossed the line for Madam Dou, so she hurriedly said, "How to arrange her? That's your affairs for your daughter-in-law Yu. I can't take care of so much."
This means that she will not intervene, and Rong Jingqiu smiled with satisfaction.
Madam Dou clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves, but she said with gratitude, "I thanked the princess." Then she looked at Lin An on the side. She used to look down on Lin An, but now she wants to be a little furious and please, "Sister Lin, please give me more advice in the future."
Lin An did not agree to let Madam Dou come back again, but when she saw that her master had made up her mind and could not express her objection in front of Concubine Shu, she was anxious. Now that she heard Madam Dou, who was much older than her, call her Sister Lin, she suddenly felt nauseous and could only bear the discomfort and nodded.
Seeing Lin An's reaction, Madam Dou dared not speak out. She could only choose to stay first before she could seek other things.
Concubine Shu left the palace in a concealed manner, and when she returned, she was very low-key and did not allow Rong Jingqiuyuan to send him off. She waved her hand and said, "Your stomach is getting heavier, so you don't have to send me off again, so let's go back."
Rong Jingqiu could only watch Concubine Shu's carriage slowly leave the Jiuwang Mansion. After she could not see the figure of the carriage, she then walked back by the new maids, Zhenzhu and Jade. However, when she turned around, she saw Madam Dou also being in the middle of her heart. She said to Lin An, "Woman, go and arrange Madam Dou's residence first. She is also Madam Dou's wet nurse after all, and she will treat her the same as you. It will save time. Someone said that I am unfair to treat a bowl of water."
Madam Dou knew that Rong Jingqiu was saying this to her on purpose, but before the goal was achieved, she could only bear it first. It would not be too late to deal with the little bitch when she turned over in the future, so she smiled and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Princess, I've really reformed."
"If this is true, I will feel relieved." Rong Jingqiu replied carelessly. Dogs can't change their shit. If she really believed Madam Dou's words, she would have become a big fool.
Lin An wanted to speak but stopped, so he had to say "Yes".
Rong Jingqiu then went straight back to the inner courtyard, then called Xiao Douzi and solemnly ordered: "You will stare at Madam Dou in the future to see who she has contacted with every day, especially outside the mansion."
If Madam Dou really dared to change her child in her previous life, then she would probably have such an idea in this life. Now that she has entered the late stage of pregnancy, Madam Dou must take action, after all, babies will not be transformed out of thin air.
The smart little Douzi is the most suitable for this task. He is a eunuch and has higher freedom than the female family in the mansion. With that cleverness, he can't make the mistake of giving this job to him.
Xiao Douzi didn't talk much about the reason for doing this. He was clever and quickly patted his chest, "Princess, don't worry, the younger one must do the job."
"Go." Rong Jingqiu said while eating pastries.
Xiao Douzi immediately stepped out. Since he had to stare at Madam Dou in all directions, he would have to arrange for his confidants to be trained in the mansion.
Lin An placed Madam Dou next door to her residence. She thought it was simple, but she didn't believe it under her nose. What else could Madam Dou do?
However, she still had to make a few noises in Rong Jingqiu's ears, which was nothing more than why she wanted the ulterior motives of Madam Dou to return home, and said that this was a way to bring a wolf into the house.
Rong Jingqiu put down the travel notes he was watching and looked at Lin An seriously, "Wuhan, I know she has bad intentions, but I naturally have my intentions when I do this."
Lin An stopped objecting, but he still advised, "It's okay for the girl to keep her, but she can't eat the food she brought. Who knows if she will poison?"
Rong Jingqiu wanted to say that Madam Dou would not be so low that she poisoned her. She was very good at making a fortune, but she would not say that to Lin An. After all, Lin An was concerned about her, so she smiled and nodded, "I know."
Lin An received Rong Jingqiu's guarantee and then felt a little relieved.
In the evening, Zhao Yu returned to his house. When he saw Madam Dou coming out to greet him, he seemed stunned, but in fact he was not surprised.
Madam Dou greeted Zhao Yu with an excited look on her face, and then talked about how she asked Concubine Shu for help, and how she dreamed of Zhao Yu's biological mother, Concubine Rou, at night. Finally, she said that Rong Jingqiu gave her the opportunity to correct her and returned to the mansion.
Zhao Yu listened expressionlessly. When he heard Rong Jingqiu agreeing to stay in the mansion, he stopped to look at Madam Dou, but did not express any opinions on the matter. He just said, "Since the princess asked you to stay, I hope Madam will reform herself in the future."
"Old Nu." Madam Dou watched Zhao Yu grow up, knowing that the child's expression was not very rich, and she didn't care about the coldness he showed. What she had to do now is to win the trust of Zhao Yu again so that she had a chance to turn things around.
Seeing that Zhao Yu was going to the inner courtyard, she hurriedly said, "When I saw that Your Highness has lost a lot of weight, I stewed the soup that Your Highness likes to drink tonic for Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"Let's leave it for now." Zhao Yu walked forward step by step, waved his hand without looking back.
Madam Dou was so old that she could not catch up with Zhao Yu's pace. In the end, she could only stomp her feet in secret hatred, and cursed Rong Jingqiu as a vixen and could only hook up on men.
Rong Jingqiu was calm and took the pulse from the imperial physician Zhen. It was not until the words "Princess, your princess, everything is safe" that Dr. Zhen said every day that she relaxed.
Doctor Zhen has now calmly dealt with Rong Jingqiu's mentality. Even though Rong Jingqiu's naked eyes looked much better, he knew that women would have anxiety before and after giving birth, so he insisted on coming to Rong Jingqiu every day to give her safe pulse so that pregnant women can feel at ease.
Seeing Zhao Yu lifting the curtain in, he hurriedly saluted, "I've seen the Ninth Prince."
Zhao Yu raised his arms and said, "No need to be polite." Then he walked to Rong Jingqiu and said softly, "How are you doing today?"
"Doctor Zhen said that our child is safe." Rong Jingqiu smiled and was supported by Zhenzhu.
Zhao Yu hurriedly helped the maid down, and personally supported his wife with a big belly, covering up his worried gaze and looking at his wife's growing belly. Recently, he couldn't sleep well at night, for fear that Rong Jingqiu's big belly would crack. Although he knew that this idea was too ridiculous, he still couldn't help thinking so.
He still asked Doctor Zhen a few questions as usual, and then Feng Debao sent Doctor Zhen away in person.
When there was only a couple left in the room, he said, "Why did you think of leaving Madam Dou? If you don't like her, just drive it out."
He didn't care what Madam Dou would think, but only cared about her wife's mood. After all, she was pregnant with a child, which was unbearable to the stimulation. She was quite angry at Concubine Shu's behavior of meddling in other people's affairs. He always thought that Concubine Shu knew that she would not interfere in the affairs of his mansion, but after this, he no longer thought so.
The so-called adoptive mother, Shufei, stretched her hands too long, and it seemed that it was time to knock it.
Rong Jingqiu said, "I have my intention to leave her behind. Don't worry about this, I know what I think."
Zhao Yu looked at her for a while, and knew that she was really sure, so he nodded slowly. Now no matter what his wife said, he would not sing the opposite tune most of the time.
