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

After calming down, Lin Xuefu pretended to be calm and said, "What does sister mean by this?"

Shen Qing didn't say anything, but walked towards Lin Xuefu. After sitting leisurely on the low stool in front of the bed, she chuckled and said, "That's what it means literally. They are all locked up by me. This time Are you afraid that no one will support you anymore?”

Hearing this, Lin Xuefu was immediately startled. Madam Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian were both imprisoned by Shen Qing?

Although she had not seen it with her own eyes, Lin Xuefu had already subconsciously believed it. If her movements were not restricted, Mrs. Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian would not have allowed Shen Qing to come to her alone.

So, is Shen Qing the sole leader in Yanglinghou Mansion now?

However, despite this, there was still no trace of panic on Lin Xuefu's face. Instead, she smiled brightly and said, "What sister is talking about, Xuefu can't understand."

Shen Qing smiled, "Aunt Lin's temperament is not like someone who can't bear a mere slap."

Lin Xuefu's eyelids twitched. Could it be that Shen Qing noticed that she was pretending to be dizzy this morning?

But then I thought about it, so what if Shen Qing saw through it, she just refused to admit it, not to mention that she was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, and even Shen Qing did not dare to touch her easily. .

"Sister is joking. It's because I don't live up to expectations and I've been weak since I was young, so my aunt and cousin spent a lot of time on it."

Shen Qing's eyes fell on Lin Xuefu's lower abdomen, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Then Aunt Lin must be more careful. If you fail to save the eldest grandson of the Hou family, you will be responsible for your death."

Then she raised her hand to touch Lin Xuefu's flat belly. The latter's body stiffened immediately. Just as she was about to resist, she suddenly noticed that Shen Qing's strength had suddenly increased. Lin Xuefu immediately panicked, gave up all her strength, and let herself go. Shen Qing's hand slid gently on her abdomen.

For a moment, Shen Qing took back her hand, looked at Lin Xuefu's slightly panicked eyebrows, and said with some distress, "Although Aunt Lin is my concubine, I never thought about not letting you give birth to this child, but Lin My aunt just keeps dancing in front of me like a clown every day, do you think I should change my mind?"

Before Lin Xuefu could express her doubts, Shen Qing reminded her kindly, "According to the law of the court, in a family of officials' children, the eldest heir must be born to the main wife. If the concubine is pregnant first, if the main wife is not allowed, Aunt Lin has heard of forced abortion?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuefu's already pale face instantly paled a bit, and her fiercely frowned brows made her look even more fragile. If Mu Ziqian were here, I'm afraid he would be heartbroken, but it's a pity. , Shen Qing is not a pity person.

Lian Rui on the side looked at Lin Xuefu's weak appearance and couldn't help but say, "But our girl obviously entered the mansion a year after the young lady passed away."

In other words, I gave you a year's head start, but Shen Qing couldn't grasp what it had to do with Lin Xuefu.

Shen Qing turned to look at this little girl who looked cute but actually spoke boldly, with a faint smile flashing between her brows and eyes, "Since you are not familiar with my law, I will explain it to you again. In a family of officials' children, after marrying a wife, they are not allowed to have concubines within three years. The first wife has nothing to do for three years before she can take a concubine into the house and continue the family. I married in May last year, and it has not been ten months yet. So, not only you The name of the child in a girl’s belly is unfair, and even you girls are the ones you shouldn’t keep. That’s it, do you understand?”

Listening to the faint threat in Shen Qing's words, Lian Rui knew that she had caused trouble to Lin Xuefu, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "Young madam, please calm down. It's my servant who is ignorant and ignorant of the law. Please punish me, young madam."

Lin Xuefu was picked cleanly every word, and Shen Qing couldn't help but praise, "It's still sincere."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Lin Xuefu struggled to get up, "She is just a girl, why should sister care about her? I know that I entered the house at the wrong time and made my sister unhappy. If she has any resentment in her heart, punish me alone. That’s good.”

Lian Rui was deeply moved and thought that she had really followed the right master.

Shen Qing looked at Lin Xuefu kneeling on the bed, and gave up her position very considerately, "Kneeling on the bed is nondescript, and coming to the ground is considered sincerity."

Lian Rui immediately spoke up for Lin Xuefu, "Young Madam, our girl has just found out she is pregnant. The doctor said that she is weak and must not be tortured. She cannot bear the coldness on the ground. Please Young Madam punish this servant. "

Shen Qing glanced at her and said, "What, you want to be an aunt too?"

Lian Rui's throat was clogged and she became silent for a moment.

Lin Xuefu knew that no one could stand up to Shen Qing's difficulties today, so she got up from the bed obediently and knelt down in front of Shen Qing in her thin underwear.

Looking at Lin Xuefu's gentle movements, one could tell how much she valued this child.

"Sister, everything is my fault, please punish me."

Shen Qing stretched out his hand to lift her chin and looked at her condescendingly, "First of all, I am the legitimate daughter of the Yining Marquis Mansion, and I am also the young lady married to Yangling Marquis Ming Yuan. I have a distinguished status, and you are not qualified to call me sister; secondly, you Since you are a concubine, you have no right to call me "I" in front of me; finally, let me say it again, I am not you, and I have no time to hang around that trash Mu Ziqian every day. As long as you stay calm, you will be pampered by the family, the eldest son. Even if you are your mother, I am all yours, do you understand this time?"

If Lin Xuefu hadn't set her sights on him, Shen Qing actually admired her. Although she was from a humble background, she had ambitions and means. Such thoughts, if not stifled, would be enough to keep her in the backyard. A Qingyun Road broke out.

Of course, the premise is that she doesn't just seek death.

After all, in the face of enough power, whether it is ambition or means, it can only temporarily avoid the edge.

Lin Xuefu was startled. She obviously didn't expect that Shen Qing would say this. She really didn't mind that Mu Ziqian doted on her alone, and even the eldest son of the Hou family came from her belly?

Unable to tell whether Shen Qing's words were true or false for a moment, Lin Xuefu had no choice but to respond first, "What the young lady said is true, I have written it down."

Only then was Shen Qing satisfied, and she left a message, "Aunt Lin, please take good care of yourself. The Marquis Mansion can't survive without you." Then she got up and left with Chanyi.

After Shen Qing's master and servant completely disappeared from sight, Lian Rui stepped forward to help Lin Xuefu up and waited for her to lie back on the bed.

"Girl, what is the purpose of the last words the young lady left?"

Lin Xuefu frowned, also confused, "I don't know either, but it is obvious that we must be more careful in our actions in the future."

After the change, Shen Qing was like a time bomb that would explode at some point. She had no defense, so she could only be more cautious.

Without Madam Yanglinghou and Mu Ziqian to protect her, her concubine might have to be restricted in everything.

Lian Rui agreed and immediately went out to prepare tonic soup for Lin Xuefu.

…

After walking a long distance from Fuyunyuan, Chanyi asked the same question as Lianrui, "What did the lady mean by what she just said?"
