Chapter 1562 Each gives one step
The shameless Ge Dongqing acted as if nothing had happened. He also stepped forward, bowed to Lu Si Niang as he had done in the past, and called her softly, "Madam."
Normally, no matter how disdainful Lu Siniang would stand up and return the gift, creating the illusion of a harmonious and supportive couple. But now she has completely stopped pretending. No matter how well she does, in Ge Dongqing's heart she is still a vicious woman, a jealous woman who prevents him and Fu Liu from growing old together.
Thinking of Ge Dongqing's ugly face as he chopped her to death with a sword, Lu Siniang no longer cooperated with his complicated courtesy. Ge Dongqing's courtesy not only did not add points to herself, but instead increased Lu Siniang's disgust towards him. Even the maids secretly rolled their eyes at him, calling him artificial, shameless, cunning and hypocritical.
Hearing his voice and seeing his nature, Lu Si Niang felt disgusted without even blinking an eyelid. She pushed the account book aside, picked up the medicine bowl with a spoon in it, and stirred it little by little. After a long while, Lu Si Niang said quietly, "Master Ge, have you forgotten our three-day appointment?"
This person did not have a respectful heart, but first had a respectful appearance, "I dare not forget, I have been running around for this matter these past few days, but to no avail."
"Haha, you came back just to tell me that you didn't accomplish anything in three days?"
"The Emperor is resolute. As a subject, I dare not disobey His Majesty's will."
"Is this a reason? You dare not disobey the emperor's will, and you come to see me like this? Can you send me, Lu Si Niang, away with such a reason?"
Ge Dongqing rubbed his hands together. Some words were hard to say, but he still said it out loud. "I didn't do what Madam wanted. I didn't dare to come to see Madam, but things took a turn for the better. I have no choice but to come to see Madam."
Ge Dongqing looked at Lu Siniang again and again, each look more guilty and uncertain than the last. "...Madam, I have some good news to tell you."
"Hehehe!" Lu Siniang casually threw the spoon in her hand back into the medicine bowl, tapping rhythmic rhythm on the table with her fingers, repeating the words "good news" over and over again. Suddenly, she looked up at Ge Dongqing, her eyes were very sharp, like a knife scraping Ge Dongqing's flesh, causing Ge Dongqing's scalp to crack instantly, and he dared not look at Lu Siniang.
"Sir Ge, what good news can I, Lu Si Niang, get from you? Could it be that the sun rises from the west today?"
"…Madam, this is definitely good news."
"Oh? Then tell me, I, Lu Si Niang, will see what kind of good news is worthy of the master personally congratulating me."
"...Um...you're going to be a mother?"
"I'm going to be a mother?! This is indeed good news. But why can't I be happy? Putting aside whether this is groundless or not, may I ask, Master Ge, I'm going to be a mother. Where did this child come from? Where is the child? Who is the child of mine and who is the father?"
"...Yes...it's the child of Fu Liu and me, but as the mistress of the Ge family, my child is the Madam's child. From now on, this child will call you mother."
"I'm not being arrogant, Lu Si Niang. Do you think any child can call me mother?"
"Madam, although Fu Liu is of humble origin, her child is innocent. According to seniority, all my children, Ge Dongqing's, must call you mother."
In order for Fu Liu to give birth to the child smoothly, Ge Dongqing not only bowed down to her, but also lowered his status to Fu Liu. In the past, he praised Fu Liu highly. In order to raise Fu Liu's value, he not only mentioned Fu Liu's title of the most talented woman, but also dug up Lu Siniang's past and hurt her heart.
Now it is up to Lu Siniang to accept the baby in Fu Liu's belly. He has learned his lesson.
Who can withstand Ge Dongqing's ruthlessness and subservience?
What Lu Siniang saw in him was not submission, but calculation and scheming.
"Is Fu Liu thinking that she can gain status through her son?"
"Madam, you have misunderstood Fu Liu. Fu Liu has no such intentions. I have already made an agreement with Fu Liu that there is only one wife in this family, Si Niang. As for her entering the mansion, she will only be given the status of a concubine."
"What a compromise! Don't think I don't know what she's planning. I've said before that people of humble origins cannot set foot in our Ge Mansion. Unless I, Lu Si Niang, no longer exist in this family, the rules cannot be broken."
Lu Siniang's toughness made Ge Dongqing frown, but he soon softened his attitude. "Madam, I, Ge Dongqing, will naturally keep your words in mind. But Madam, the situation has changed. Fu Liu is pregnant and can no longer live in Jiao Man Lou. Madam, you also know that Jiao Man Lou is a place of prostitution. How can I have a safe pregnancy in such a place? Madam, please be magnanimous and make an exception for me and let Fu Liu move in with us."
"Are you asking me, Lu Si Niang, to give in?"
"Madam, you and I should both make concessions. As long as you agree to Fu Liu moving into the mansion, the position of the mistress of the house will always be yours. As for Fu Liu, just give her the status of a concubine. We are both women, why should you make it difficult for Fu Liu? Fu Liu has made concessions again and again. Madam is so sensible that you wouldn't refuse to agree, would you?"
"How can this be considered a concession? After being with Fu Liu for so long, Lord Ge has lost his memory. Did you, Lord Ge Dong, give me the position of mistress? My position was given by the Emperor. Without the Emperor's protection, could you, Lord Ge, tolerate me, Lu Si Niang? My achievements and fame are all earned by me, Lu Si Niang, with my own ability. What merits have you, Ge Dongqing, made?"
"Fourth Mother, are you going to watch my child wandering around? We are not young anymore, and we still have no children. Madam, do you want to see me, Ge Dongqing, have no descendants?"
"Master Ge, you worry too much. You spend all your time pursuing women and asking for favors. How could you possibly be childless?"
"Madam, I know you're blaming me, Ge Dongqing, and Fu Liu for having a child, but we've been married for over five years, and you haven't given me a child yet!"
Lian'er couldn't help but speak up, "Can you blame Madam? A few years ago, the Master lived in the side courtyard, and Madam lived in the main house. You finally moved in together, but within two months, the Master hasn't been home for days. How can Madam have children?"
"You little girl, are you looking for a beating? Don't you see how old your wife is? Even if I stay at home every day, she still can't have children. If I rely on your wife to carry on my family line, the incense of my old Ge family will be completely cut off."
Ge Dongqing seemed to be scolding Lian'er, but in fact he was speaking to Lu Siniang. He really blamed Lu Siniang for not being able to give him a child.
