Ye Pianran suddenly rushed out, her face still covered in blood from the injuries, which startled Aunt Song, Ye Bijun, and the others.
She stepped forward and took her crying younger brother away, then slapped Qingshui hard across the face: "How dare you! How dare you hit the young master's precious body?"
Everyone in the Hou family knew that the eldest young lady was the kindest and would never lay a hand on a servant, but today she hit Concubine Song's maid, which surprised everyone.
Aunt Song came to her senses and said sarcastically, "Oh, the young master is precious, but is Aunt Meng's unborn child not precious? The eldest young lady blames Qing Shui without even asking what happened. Is it really because the first madam has been ill for a long time and has neglected to discipline her children?"
In just a few words, Aunt Song had thoroughly cursed her, her brother, and her mother.
Ye Pianran trembled with rage. She wanted nothing more than to tear apart Aunt Song's smug, petty face, but upon hearing that this matter involved Aunt Meng, who was pregnant, she had to suppress her anger and ask:
"Then please tell me, Aunt Song, what exactly happened!"
Aunt Song sneered and slowly explained what had happened: "Just now, Aunt Meng went for a walk in the back garden and saw your stupid brother crying. She wanted to kindly take him back to Lanxin Courtyard, but who knew that this little thing would push her and cause Aunt Meng to have a miscarriage. Ha, if this child cannot be saved, let's see how you explain to the Marquis and the Old Madam!"
The back garden? It's the back garden again!
Ye Pianran's gaze shifted to Ye Bijun behind Aunt Song, and she couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She knew Ye Bijun was with Aunt Song; surely she was involved in this whole affair?
Ye Pianran's gaze made Ye Bijun feel a little uneasy, but she immediately laughed gleefully: "Cousin, the injury on your face looks really scary. You should get it treated quickly to avoid leaving a scar in the future."
Ling Shu then remembered her errand and hurriedly said, "Miss, I couldn't get a doctor. The doctor went to take care of Consort Meng's pregnancy..."
“That’s really unfortunate. There’s only one doctor in the manor. If Miss is worried about her appearance being ruined, she can send someone to fetch a doctor from outside the manor herself. However…” Aunt Song picked up a handkerchief and pressed it to her lips to cover the corners of her mouth that were turning up, “The life or death of Aunt Meng’s child is unknown. I’m afraid the young lady will have to pay for the medical treatment herself.”
Ye Pianran's birth mother, Gongsun Yuan, was the head mistress of the Marquis's mansion. Originally, she was in charge of all the affairs of the inner quarters of the mansion. However, after giving birth to Ye Yankang prematurely, her health deteriorated day by day. Fearing that she was overworked, the old lady gradually handed over all the affairs to Concubine Song.
In her previous life, Ye Pianran was grateful to the old lady for her consideration for her mother. But having lived a second life and witnessed so many dirty tricks, how could she not understand that her mother's status had been weakened without her even realizing it?
Upon hearing this, Ye Bijun added with a grin, "Cousin, do you want me to give you some money? I may not have much, but I have plenty of money."
“You—” Lingyi resented Ye Bijun and was so angry that she almost rushed up to stand up for Ye Pianran. But Ye Pianran held her back, looked coldly at Ye Bijun, and said, “There’s no need to waste this money. Lingshu, take the jade pendant that my maternal grandfather gave me and go to the Prime Minister’s residence to ask Doctor Mo to come to the Marquis’s residence.”
Ling Shu's eyes lit up, he replied "Yes," and turned to leave quickly.
