A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

As she spoke, Li Chaoyun got up from the bed and asked Danju to help her down.

The old lady quickly reached out her hand to stop him, "Why did you get up? The doctor told you to take good care of yourself. If you have any problem, just tell the people below."

Li Chaoyun insisted on getting down and knelt at the old lady's feet.

"Grandma, please have mercy on me and give me and my son a chance to live."

The old lady leaned over to help her up, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Li Chaoyun did not move, but pursed her lips tightly, with tears in her eyes. But not a single tear fell, and she looked extremely aggrieved but pretending to be strong.

Su Qingyu watched coldly from the side, lowered her eyes and sneered. Ever since Shen Zhao passed away, Li Chaoyun has become more and more pitiful.

Xiang Dong, who was walking to the door and preparing to go outside to ask Shen Cheng questions, also stopped. She had to see what Li Chaoyun was going to do.

Then Li Chaoyun said sadly, "Grandma, I suspect that the Fifth Young Master did this on purpose today in order to prevent me from giving birth to this child."

"But how old is the Fifth Young Master? What does he know? All of this was ordered by Madam Xiang. It's a pity that the eldest young master's body is still warm, and these people are going to kill his child."

Li Chaoyun cried until she was choked with sobs, and leaned over the old lady's legs and said, "Grandma, I almost lost this child."

The old lady naturally felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.

He supported Li Chaoyun and comforted her, "May the ancestors of the Shen family bless you, the child is fine. You should get up quickly and take good care of the child."

Li Chaoyun shook his head and said, "Grandma, Madam Xiang can't tolerate me. She is now the head lady of the Shen family's main house. I can't beat her."

"Please grandma give me and my son a chance to live. I am really tired of living in fear and dependence on others."

The old lady looked at Xiangdong inquiringly. Li Chaoyun had complained to her a lot these days. Either Xiangdong did not follow the rules, or Shen Cheng was arrogant and rude.

At first she just thought that Li Chaoyun looked down on Xiangdong and Shen Cheng's backgrounds, but as things got more complicated and became a big deal, the old lady began to become suspicious.

She can be said to have some understanding of Xiangdong, but one can never know a person's heart through his appearance. It is possible that her identity and thoughts have changed.

While the old lady was pondering, a servant came in to report that Princess Yongjia had arrived.

Just as he finished reporting, Princess Yongjia walked in quickly.

When everyone saw her come in, they all bowed and greeted her.

Princess Yongjia paid no attention to her. She looked at her daughter kneeling on the ground and said distressedly, "Didn't you say you almost had a miscarriage? Why are you still kneeling?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the old lady, her tone clearly dissatisfied, "The Shen family has really big rules, letting a pregnant woman set the rules."

Li Chaoyun quickly explained, "Mother misunderstood. I was the one who insisted on giving a great gift to grandmother, begging her to give us mother and son a chance to live."

On the way here, Princess Yongjia already knew what was going on. She helped her daughter up and let her sit down beside the bed.

Then he said to the old lady in a cold voice: "How exactly are the Shen family going to deal with that concubine and illegitimate son? My daughter and unborn grandson have suffered such a great injustice, the Shen family should not think of letting it go peacefully."

In Princess Yongjia's heart, no matter how high the status of Xiangdong and Shen Cheng was, it could not change their humble origins.

"Princess, please calm down. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is true as you said, the Shen family will never cover it up." The old lady replied calmly.

Su Qingyu thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Mother, why don't Madam Xiang and I go ask the Fifth Young Master what's going on. He was wrong in doing this, but there must be a reason."

The old lady nodded and motioned Su Qingyu and Xiangdong to go and ask the questions.

Li Chaoyun sneered in her heart. She could even imagine what they were going to say. It was nothing more than Shen Cheng was beaten, and they suspected that she was going to harm Xiang Dong. They wanted to make a big fuss about the Wanxiang Hall incident and bring the fire to her.

She wished they would say so. This matter had nothing to do with her. If Xiangdong said so, it would further confirm the fact that they and their son were maliciously slandering her.

Xiangdong and Su Qingyu went to the yard as instructed by the old lady.

Xiangdong walked to Shen Cheng and squatted down to look him in the eye.

"Cheng'er, tell your mother what happened? Why did you hit the princess?" Xiang Dong asked softly, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off Shen Cheng's face.

The servants of Hanshuiyuan had asked this question before, but Shen Cheng didn't say a word.

But when his mother asked, he naturally didn't hide anything.

Shen Cheng said in a low voice: "I just felt that my sister-in-law might be trying to do something bad to my mother. So I came here quietly, and when I was lying on the wall, I happened to hear my sister-in-law talking to the maid."

He repeated what Li Chaoyun and Danju said again, and then said: "Although they didn't say it explicitly, that's what I heard. It's that my sister-in-law colluded with others to secretly harm my mother."

Speaking of this, Shen Cheng still looked resentful.

Xiangdong asked him again, "You didn't tell anyone else about these things, did you? Did you tell your grandmother?"

Shen Cheng shook his head. "I didn't tell anyone. I was afraid that my mother would have other instructions, and I was also afraid that those people wouldn't pass on the message properly, so I didn't tell anyone."

Xiang Dong helped Shen Cheng to gather his hair and said with appreciation, "You did the right thing. Don't tell others about this."

There is no evidence to support this. If Shen Cheng said these words, one can imagine how angry the old lady would be.

Xiangdong carefully recalled Su Qingyu's words again, and then gave some instructions to Shen Cheng.

Then he stood up and returned to the inner room with Su Qingyu.

After entering the room, Xiang Dong knelt down again, "Old Madam, it is my fault that I did not teach my child well. I am willing to accept any punishment."

The old lady glanced at Xiangdong and said in a deep voice, "Tell me first, why did Chenger attack her sister-in-law?"

Xiang Dong looked embarrassed and glanced at Li Chaoyun. "The Fifth Young Master has been wronged these days and has a rift with his sister-in-law. He acted impulsively and made a big mistake."

Li Chaoyun was full of anger, and rushed to say: "He has a grudge against me? It is obvious that he is disrespectful to his eldest sister-in-law, but Madam Xiang is good at whitewashing the situation."

"There's no need to talk about what happened before. I don't mind. Let's just talk about what happened today."

Xiang Dong snorted in her heart, and said: "Since the old lady asked, I must explain it clearly."

"When the princess just returned to the mansion, the mansion had just started making summer clothes, so I sent someone to the Hanshui Courtyard to measure the princess. But the princess said that she was pregnant and in mourning, so she didn't need the mansion to make clothes for this year. The maids sewed them for her, and she was comfortable with them."

"I will naturally follow the princess's wishes and even send her the materials."

"But a few days ago, when the clothes were distributed everywhere, the princess came to settle accounts with me, and she refused to admit what she had said before. She kept saying that I was deliberately making things difficult for her, and said a lot of unpleasant things. It happened that the fifth young master was there that day, and he heard it all."

The old lady's face darkened slightly. She knew about this. Li Chaoyun mentioned it when he went to Qingyuanju to pay his respects, and he was full of grievances when he said it.
