He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Chanyi looked disdainful, "It's just a little clever thing. If you really enter the palace, you may not even know how you died."

Seeing Cicada's bulging appearance, Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you get more irritable as you get older?"

Chanyi's face was filled with anger, "I just feel sorry for the young lady. Not only does Aunt Lin have deep thoughts, she also has a hypocritical temperament. I don't know what the third young master likes about her."

In Chanyi's eyes, Lin Xuefu can't even compare to a hair of Shen Qing's, but the whole Mu family is blind and blind, leaving Shen Qing, the gentle and submissive daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, alone. I want to pamper Lin Xuefu, a showman who does one thing in front of her and another behind her back.

Shen Qing immediately waved her hand and refused, "No! I don't want someone like Mu Ziqian. Let him stay with Lin Xuefu forever. It can be considered that Lin Xuefu has done a good deed to eliminate harm for the people."

After all, with Mu Ziqian's temperament, if it weren't for Lin Xuefu's control, there's no telling how many good women would have been harmed.

Chanyi was amused by Shen Qing, and her mood immediately improved a lot, "Miss is right, someone like Aunt Lin is a perfect match for the Third Young Master. As for us, Miss, of course..."

Before Chanyi could finish her words, Haitang's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door, "Young madam, madam and the third young master are here. Judging from their posture, they look like they are here to call for punishment."

A smile escaped from the corner of Shen Qing's lips. She didn't know what kind of rare day it was today, but her Tinglan Courtyard was really lively.

Chanyi helped Shen Qing get off the bed, and as soon as she arranged her coat, Mrs. Yanglinghou and her son came in aggressively.

Before Mrs. Yangling Hou could question, Shen Qing had already pre-empted the attack, "I'm afraid my mother is a little old and her memory can't keep up. She just said yesterday that even if the concubine comes from the Hou Mansion, the grounding imposed by her means that you and your husband will not be able to keep up. You should be here, why did you come out again today?”

Mrs. Yanglinghou was troubled, and her eyes towards Shen Qing became more and more evil, "Shen Qing, I came here today to ask you about Xue Fu. Don't forcefully change the subject!"

Shen Qing took a sip of tea casually and said, "Then ask mother."

Mrs. Yangling Hou thought about it carefully and after confirming that there was no loophole in her words for Shen Qing to exploit, she said, "Let me ask you, this morning Xuefu came to return your dowry, why did you attack her? No. Tell me no, Qian'er saw this with his own eyes."

Shen Qing suddenly smiled, "Yes, I was the one who beat Lin Xuefu, so what?"

Seeing Shen Qing admitting happily, Mrs. Yanglinghou seemed to have found a breakthrough, but she heard Shen Qing speak out one step ahead of her, "I am my wife and she is my concubine. I want to teach her a lesson. Do you need any special reason?"

Madam Yanglinghou frowned, "You are the mistress of the house, how can you act so wantonly!"

The smile on Shen Qing's face did not diminish, "But I have clearly heard that when my mother was the mistress of the Hou Mansion, she often beat up the concubines below. Isn't it right for my daughter-in-law to imitate her mother?"

Mrs. Yanglinghou's heart tightened, obviously she didn't expect that Shen Qing would use such a reason to block her words.

What Shen Qing said was right. When those aunts came into the palace, she did much more than Shen Qing. If Aunt Liang and Aunt Qiu hadn't been honest enough, they would have added two concubines to Marquis Yangling. , I'm afraid she would have found an excuse to send him away long ago.

But Lin Xuefu was her biological niece, how could Shen Qing treat her like this, not to mention that she was pregnant.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yangling Hou immediately asked again, "What Xue Fu is carrying is Qian'er's first child and the eldest grandson of the Hou family. As the head wife, I have no control over teaching my concubines, but if If you hurt your heirs, I won’t tolerate you!”

Shen Qing looked as usual, looked into Madam Yanglinghou's eyes and asked, "May I ask my mother, when was Aunt Lin's pregnancy found out?"

Madam Yanglinghou said with anger in her eyes, "Of course it was after I was driven unconscious by you!"

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Mom also said that Aunt Lin found out she was pregnant after she left my yard. What does that have to do with me?"

Mrs. Yanglinghou couldn't realize the meaning of Shen Qing's words for a while, and subconsciously said, "I was driven unconscious by you, so why does it have nothing to do with you?"

Shen Qing answered truthfully, "Before Aunt Lin fell into coma, I didn't know she was pregnant, so at this time, I used my wife as my wife to teach the ignorant concubine a lesson. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Mrs. Yangling Hou frowned. According to Shen Qing, she did not have any fault at all, but Lin Xuefu fell into a coma entirely because of Shen Qing!

Madam Yanglinghou was speechless for a moment, thought for a moment, and chose to speak from a different angle, "Okay, both you and Xuefu are at fault for this matter, and there is no point in continuing to argue, so let's each take a step back, Xuefu Her body is heavy. You can allocate more people to take care of her during these days and send her some more monthly money. As for Xue Fu, she is a person with two bodies after all. She just fell into a coma and is very weak now. , don’t argue with her.”

Mu Ziqian felt that this punishment was too light, so he secretly tugged on Madam Yanglinghou's sleeve.

Madam Yanglinghou glanced at him quietly and did not respond. If Shen Qing could be punished, she would naturally not be lenient. However, Shen Qing was clearly not in a disadvantageous position in the current situation, so Madam Yanglinghou felt that instead of such a stalemate, If we go down, we might as well find something else from Shen Qing.

Silver is what they need most at the moment, and it is what Shen Qing has the most in his hands.

Mrs. Yangling felt that this was a comprehensive way of handling the situation, and Shen Qing would never refuse again. However, she did not expect Shen Qing to refuse. "Mother, you are wrong. I, Shen Qing, always distinguish right from wrong. Wrong is wrong, and right is right. I do not think I have done anything wrong today, so there is no question of backing down."

Mrs. Yangling's face darkened, "Shen Qing, you are too ignorant."

Shen Qing raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Mother, what you call understanding, is it that you want me to unconditionally accommodate the concubine?"

Mrs. Yangling reiterated the fact, "Xue Fu is pregnant!"

Shen Qing was unmoved, "Can you do whatever you want just because you are pregnant? Or why not just let her take my position as the wife?"

Mrs. Yangling took a deep breath, "Okay, I won't bother with you. Change to another From a different perspective, you are the legal wife, and the concubine is pregnant, so you should send some supplements and medicine to her, right? "

Shen Qing looked puzzled, "What are you sending supplements for?"

Madam Yanglinghou was furious, "Of course, it is to take care of Xuefu's body, so that she can give birth to a healthy and smart child for Qian'er. The palace doctor said that Xuefu is pregnant with a boy in her belly. "

"Why do you want to keep her healthy and smart? Waiting for her to inherit the title when she grows up?"

Without waiting for Madam Yanglinghou and her son to come back to their senses, Shen Qing had already begun to comfort her unilaterally, "I'm afraid that mother and husband have forgotten that the younger generation of the Mu family has low abilities, and the title can only be inherited for two generations. If husband is more motivated, maybe he can pick up a loophole, so there is still some need to work hard, but the child is already the third generation, no matter how smart he is, it's in vain, don't waste that money, it's really unnecessary."
