Jiao Luan

Chapter 267
That woman was in her young age, she walked like a broken branch and a thin willow, looking forward to her gods, she was dressed more decently than the maids of the Duke's Mansion, but it was not the clothes of the masters.

"Wei'er, what are you looking at?"

Cheng Wei stretched out his hand and pointed lightly: "Grandmother, who is that? It doesn't look like the master's clothes, and her hair is pulled up. Could it be the daughter-in-law in charge?"

Old Madam Duan's eyes were not the same as before, she squinted her eyes and recognized who it was, but she couldn't tell Cheng Wei directly, so she said vaguely: "It's the maid who is serving your cousin."

Cheng Wei is no longer an ignorant little girl, she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Mrs. Duan say this: "Isn't Cousin Zhi not married yet?"

Old Madam Duan was taken aback by the question, and stretched out her hand to slap Cheng Wei lightly: "You girl, what are you doing asking these things, even though your cousin is not married, someone will always wait on you after the coming-of-age ceremony."

Cheng Wei avoided it and said, "Grandmother, don't hit me, I think it's strange. My mother told me before that the housemaids can only conceive after the master has a son--"

Madam Duan's complexion suddenly changed, and she grabbed Cheng Wei's hand instead: "Wei'er, you mean...the woman who just walked by over there is pregnant?"

Cheng Wei nodded: "It's been about three months."

Old Madam Duan was silent for a long time, unable to detect any emotion in her voice: "Wei'er, grandma is a little tired, please help grandma go back."

"Ai."

After returning to the house, as if nothing had happened to Mrs. Duan, she enjoyed lunch with Cheng Wei and sent someone to send her back.

As soon as Cheng Wei left, Mrs. Duan immediately ordered the maid Liangchen to call Han Zhi's roommate, Panpan.

"Old lady, Miss Panpan is here."

Old Madam Duan leaned against the screen and closed her eyes to rest, but she didn't open her eyes immediately after hearing the words.

After a while, she raised her eyelids and looked at Panpan who was standing with her hands down.

"I have met the old lady." Panpan saluted, with a calm demeanor, no ordinary maids were nervous when they saw the old lady.

Old Madam Duan frowned secretly.

Tao Shi has always been a smart person, why would he choose such a charming maid to serve Zhi'er?
Old Madam Duan ignored Panpan, turned her head and ordered Meimei: "Tell Doctor Yang to come in."

Hearing the word "Doctor Yang", Panpan's face flickered with nervousness, and his whole body tensed up.

From the corner of her eye, Mrs. Duan, who had been paying attention to Panpan, felt her heart sink.

Judging by the servant girl's reaction, Wei'er must have read it right.

Doctor Yang is a doctor raised by the Duke's mansion, he has been waiting in the cubicle for a long time, and was soon led by Meijing into the house.

Old Madam Duan didn't talk nonsense, she stretched out her hand and pointed: "Doctor Yang, feel the pulse of this servant girl."

Panpan finally turned pale: "Old lady—"

Old Madam Duan glanced over, Panpan was too frightened to make a sound, and stepped back step by step.

Of course Dr. Yang would not be sympathetic to the beauty, so he said in a deep voice, "Sister, please stretch out your hand."

Panpan stretched out his hand tremblingly, looking at Dr. Yang with tears streaming down his face.

Dr. Yang put his hand on Panpan's wrist, let go of it after a while, and saluted Old Madam Duan: "Old Madam, this eldest sister is happy, about three months."

Old Madam Duan still had a calm expression on her face, she said in a deep voice: "I know, Doctor Yang, let's go down first."

As soon as Dr. Yang left, Mrs. Duan immediately said to Liang Chen: "Go to the main courtyard and tell her to come here immediately when Mrs. Guogong comes back."

Liangchen took the order to leave, and then Mrs. Duan looked at Panpan, and said indifferently: "Bring her a little box."

The little man moved in, Panpan didn't dare to sit down, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Old madam, I beg you to be merciful, this maid didn't do it on purpose..."

Old Madam Duan raised her eyebrows: "It wasn't intentional? Then why are you three months pregnant?"

The old lady was very angry.

Before the eldest grandson got married, Tong Fang was pregnant, which was a huge scandal.But the child in her womb was already three months old, and she couldn't bear the thought of having a miscarriage, but this child couldn't be kept, and just thinking about it made her feel guilty.

Panpan kowtowed again and again: "Old lady, the servant girl really doesn't know what's going on, she always drinks the Bizi soup on time every time, and it has been two months since the maidservant found out that she was pregnant."

As she spoke, she raised her head, her eyes full and moving: "Old madam, as long as the servant girl thinks that the child has been peacefully in my stomach for two months, how can she be willing to kill him? He is the son of the crown prince. Your great-grandson."

Old Madam Duan's heart ached for a while, she closed her eyes, and said wearily: "It's fun, it's fun, you take her to the cubicle to rest."

When the room became quiet, Mrs. Duan raised her hand and rubbed her temples, sighed, and closed her eyes.

As soon as Tao Shi returned to the mansion, she heard the servant girl tell that Mrs. Duan called her over, hurriedly changed her clothes, suppressed her doubts and rushed over.

After listening to Mrs. Duan's narration, Tao Shi was on the verge of collapse: "Old lady, are you serious?"

Old Madam Duan sighed: "I have asked Dr. Yang to check the pulse, and it is true that I am pregnant for three months."

"It shouldn't be, isn't it drinking Bizi soup?"

"This is also what I don't understand. I have called the woman who specially made the soup for her to come over and ask. The woman said that she always served it on time every time."

"Isn't that God's will?" Dow murmured.

Old Madam Duan took a deep look at her: "You mean, you want to keep that child?"

Dao Shi didn't dare to say such a thing, he endured regret and said: "How can I stay? There is no way in a well-behaved family that the bastard is born first. It's just...it's because the child came at an untimely time."

As soon as these words came out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were relatively speechless.

The Tao family has only one son, Han Zhi, who is too thin to begin with. From a selfish point of view, no one is willing to get rid of this child, but there are some things that no matter how reluctant they are, they have to do it.

Tao Shi gritted his teeth and said in annoyance, "It's all Zhi'er that evil son who caused such trouble!"

Old Madam Duan glanced at Tao Shi, and thought to herself, if you hadn't picked such a goblin-like Tong Fang for Zhi'er, who would have less intercourse, how could Tong Fang get pregnant!

"It's no wonder that Zhi'er is pregnant after drinking the Bizi Tang, there is nothing anyone can do about it." Mrs. Duan paused, and said, "You don't need to tell Zhi'er about this, lest he make a fuss. Leave that child behind today, and then find a way to send Panpan out."

"Ah."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it and ordered Liangchen to bring a bowl of soup and medicine from Dr. Yang and put it in the compartment.

At this moment, a person hurried in at the door: "Grandmother, where's Cheng Wei?"

Han Zhi chased after that person, seeing his grandmother and mother's surprised expressions, he hurriedly explained: "Grandmother, mother, Rong Xin insists on coming to find Wei Cousin, I can't even stop him—"

Rong Xin was wearing a bright purple robe, with a somewhat domineering posture, as soon as she came in, she held onto Mrs. Duan's hand and said, "Grandmother, Cheng Wei isn't here?"

Mrs. Duan was just about to stabilize her mind to speak when a person rushed out of the compartment.

"My lord, I beg you to save this maid—"
