The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Chapter 312: Using Money to Bribe Relations

"My dear, you are still pregnant, so take a good rest! She is fine now, and it won't be too late for you to visit her in a few days."

"Then Shanshan will listen to her aunt."

"It's getting late. You should go back early! Have the servants prepare everything. You will still be staying in Biling Courtyard."

"Yes, Shanshan knows. I'll take my leave now. Auntie, you should also go to bed early!"

"Go, good boy." Old Madam Hou still liked Xu Shanshan very much. She was gentle and weak, and she made people feel pity for her.

At this time, Jiang Weiyang didn't know that the old lady had already brought Xu Shanshan back and had been accompanying Su Qing.

Lightning streaked across the sky, followed by thunder. Raindrops as big as beans fell instantly, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

Xu Shanshan looked out the window, dismissed the servants, and secretly called the boy. They were wild and free in the thunderstorm.

The blinding lightning, like the wrath of a giant god, tore the sky apart. Then, the rumbling thunder sounded, like the drumbeat of a god, shaking people's hearts. Everything was so blurry.

After a night of indulgence, Xu Shanshan was exhausted! She promised the servant a lifetime of wealth and glory in exchange for his silent companionship.

The next day, Jiang Weiyang went to the morning court. Xu Shanshan came to Yilan Courtyard under the pretext of paying respects, but was stopped by Rulei Ruyu.

"Excuse me young lady, what can I do for you? Madam is resting."

"Open your dog eyes and take a closer look. This is Aunt Xu." The maid beside Xu Shanshan said.

The two maids around her were brought back from the farm. It was not easy for a low-ranking maid from the outer courtyard to serve the master, so they worshipped Xu Shanshan as their ancestor.

Besides, Xu Shanshan also gave a lot of money and benefits. People are greedy. Is there any road that cannot be paved with money? If the money is used, won't they all be hers?

Ruyu was the first to react. This person should be Aunt Xu who caused the lady to give birth prematurely, right?

"It's Aunt Xu. I've met Aunt Xu, but Aunt Xu's arrival is a bit unfortunate. Madam said that she won't see anyone until she's out of confinement. Aunt Xu, please go back!"

"It was already very late when I came back from the farm yesterday, so I didn't come to disturb Madam. But I have to pay my respects to Madam today no matter what! If Madam needs to rest, I won't come in the future, but you must be polite! How do you know that Madam doesn't want to see me when you haven't gone in to report to her yet? If you're sensible, go in and report it." Xu Shanshan said a lot of things in a row, then raised her head and put on an arrogant and domineering look.

Her expression was clearly telling Ruyu: You are just a lowly servant, how dare you stop me? Just do what I tell you to do, don't talk back to me, and don't try to find excuses to shirk your responsibilities! If you don't obey, then wait and see, you will definitely suffer! If you don't believe me, you can try it.

Seeing that Ruyu was still standing there in a daze and had no intention of going in to report the incident, the maidservant at the side said angrily, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go quickly? It rained all night last night, and the temperature today is lower than usual, so it's a bit chilly. And now my aunt is pregnant. If you make my aunt wait for too long and she gets cold, I will definitely hold you accountable!" After the maidservant finished speaking, she pushed Ruyu. But how could a little girl push Ruyu's body?
