The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Dongxi found the scene in front of her very annoying. The more courteous the lady was to her aunt, the more she felt that the lady was hypocritical.

If he really valued her aunt, why would he throw her into the marquis's mansion to be a laundry maid and slap her aunt in the face?

Zeng's mother then realized that her niece had no manners at all. Since the lady entered the room, her niece had not greeted her or performed any formalities.

She couldn't help but blushing, and scolded her niece, "Dongxi, why don't you kneel down and greet the lady?"

Dongxi's unhappiness was completely exposed on her face when she heard this. She stood straight, turning a deaf ear to her aunt's words, but she had an inexplicable sense of dignity.

Shi Anxia glanced at Dong Xi calmly, not getting annoyed, "It's okay. Miss Dong Xi has high aspirations, and being a servant is a waste of her talent. I asked Madam Zeng to come here today because I wanted to explain things to her face to face."

When Zeng's mother heard this, how could her face be happy?

She knew that the Madam was not a mean person and would not be a hermaphrodite. She thought that her niece must have done something wrong, so she lowered her face and asked, "Dongxi, what did you do to upset the Madam?"

The grievances in Dongxi's heart surged in like a surging river. Tears flowed down her face. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Anxia say, "I'm not unhappy, but I'm afraid that the coffin of your old Zeng family can no longer be covered."

When Zeng's mother heard this, she knew that the matter was serious.

Sure enough, the lady's next sentence was like a thunderbolt, "Dongxi is pregnant."

Dong Xi's eyes went dark, "!!!"

Zeng's mother's eyes blurred, "!!!"

What a bolt from the blue!

Dongxi was also panicking, "Nonsense!"

She didn't even know she was pregnant, how could the lady know?

But then I thought, God, there's good news! She's pregnant with Master Li's child! She, she, she...

Shi Anxia glanced at Xiyue slowly.

Xiyue stepped forward and grabbed Dongxi's hand and felt it. "It is indeed a pregnancy pulse. If you don't believe in my medical skills, you can call a doctor outside to check your pulse."

"No need." Zeng's mother was as happy as she was when she first came, but now she was as embarrassed and annoyed. Although she was just a servant, she always attached great importance to her reputation.

She only believes in one thing: only when you respect yourself can others respect you. If you despise yourself by three points, how can others respect you by seven points?

Mother Zeng said solemnly, "I believe what Madam says. Madam will never wrongly accuse anyone." What she was afraid of now was that her niece might have climbed into the bed of the Prince Consort.

She just remembered that the Madam was not only the Madam, but also Princess Haiyan. A royal family should be known by their words. If her Dongxi was defiled...

Shi Anxia knew what she was thinking and shook her head, "Mother Zeng is mistaken. My son-in-law is a self-respecting man and would never do something that would embarrass him."

Mother Zeng exhaled heavily, and the aroma of tea filled her nose again. She patted her chest and said, "Good, it's good that she's not the prince consort. This damn girl has no sense of shame, and she shouldn't pollute the princess's eyes. I'll take her home and deal with her now."

Shi Anxia shook her head. "Mother Zeng, to be honest, it is because I, the princess, did not discipline my subordinates strictly that this servant has lost his sense of shame."

"No, no, no, all the girls here are great. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have had the audacity to recommend my niece to you. If I had known she was like this, I would have sent her back home long ago."

"Mother Zeng, you are righteous. I don't blame you for this." Shi Anxia opened the lid of the tea and flicked the tea soup, but did not drink it. "This princess is thinking that since we are master and servant, we should part ways amicably."

Zeng's mother's eyelids twitched, and she felt that something big was going to happen in that "amicable separation".

Dongxi's heart tightened, and she broke out in a cold sweat, soaking her entire vest. She felt nauseous and didn't care about anything else. She covered her mouth and ran out to vomit.

Mother Zeng felt that her niece had vomited all over her face. She was very angry and could no longer smell the fragrance of tea.

My nose is blocked, my chest is blocked, and my head hurts.

When Anxia waited for Dongxi to come back half dead, she said calmly, "Are you going to tell me who the father of the child is, or should I tell you for you?"

Dong Xi bit her lip and said bitterly, "It turns out that Madam already knew everything, then why did she keep me here..."

Before he could even utter the word "me", Bei Hui stepped forward and slapped him in the face, "You are betraying your master and you think you are justified, right? Whether the Madam sells you out or beats you to death, Madam Zeng can't say anything."

Mother Zeng nodded. "That's right. For a servant, betraying the master is the most...what? Betraying the master?"

She was shocked. Since she didn't sleep with the prince consort, but still betrayed her master, then... she didn't dare to think about it further.

She didn't dare to think about it, but Shi Anxia said it herself, "Li Tianhua, the fourth son of Lord Li Changfeng of the Li family."

Mother Zeng felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

If I just said that my niece was pregnant before getting married, it would be shameless at best. But if I really wanted to sell out my master for personal gain, that would be the heinous crime.

If this news gets out, and the Duke of Huguo's Mansion no longer wants her, no one in her family will be hired to work.

She was a smart woman, and had worked her way up from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to the Duke of Huguo's mansion, and was now the most capable housekeeper under Zheng Qiaoer. With her position, she was already very familiar with the various powerful families, and knew which ones she could interact with and which ones she could not.

Privately, the servants of the rich and powerful also interacted with each other, but they all followed a principle: if the master did not interact, the servants could not interact with him.

So when she heard the word "Li family", she knew that Li Tianhua was using Dongxi to spy on the news about his wife. Because the Huguogong Mansion never had any dealings with the Li family.

Zeng's mother felt that this was no longer a question of face, so she raised her hand and slapped her niece in the face, "That's what I taught you! The first rule for us servants is that we must never betray our master no matter what we do! If you betray your master once, no one will value you for the rest of your life."

Dong Xi covered her face and burst into tears for a long time. "I knew it, I knew it, my aunt couldn't bear to see me doing well! I didn't come to the capital to be a slave. I just wanted to marry into an ordinary family and live a peaceful life! It was my aunt who told me to introduce a good place, saying that the master looked easy to talk to and she would find a good family for me. But is the master really easy to talk to? She even drove away her own father, she..."

Zeng's mother slapped her again, and she was so angry that her heart ached. This niece really couldn't be kept, and she even criticized her master's behavior.

Dong Xi covered his face and took a step back. Once he opened the floodgates, there was no way to stop. "What did I say wrong? I have only been here for a few months, so don't blame me. Let's talk about Sister Bei Hui. How old is she? She has been with the master for so many years. The master has never thought about finding a home for Sister Bei Hui, and he keeps making empty promises for her..."

Bei Hui said leisurely, "It is I who do not want to leave the master. You have done something bad yourself, so do not drag others down. Besides, the master asked your aunt to come here today, hoping to part ways amicably and fulfill your dream of rising to a high position."
