Aunt Du could not help but be shocked when she heard that.
"What an ignorant beauty. You actually dared to use the master's name to take my things and even dared to fight with Granny Wang. I think the people in your room are tired of living. Even if you are under the eyes of the Matriarch, I am not afraid of you. Come, follow me to Matriarch Shang's garden to take a look.”After Aunt Du finished speaking, she left in a hurry with a few servant girls.
"Since the matter is already clear, Granny Wang, you don't have to quibble anymore. You provoked a dispute between the servants in the kitchen and even injured someone. It seems that the Duke of Song Residence can't keep you anymore. I'll let you leave the residence. What do you think?”Ji Chengjun narrowed his eyes at Granny Wang.
"Eldest Miss, I am Aunt Du's nanny. What right do you have to let me go?”The Matriarch was displeased that Granny Wang had actually used Aunt Du to suppress Ji Chengjun.
"You are the servant of the Duke of Song Residence, so you are also our Jun 'er's servant. She can't let you leave with a word, but I can at least let you leave with a word, right? I, the Duke of Song, can't even make the decision for a lowly nanny. Who is the master?”The Matriarch flew into a rage. She suddenly stood up and pointed at the arrogant Granny Wang.
"Matriarch, please spare my life. This old servant didn't mean that.”Granny Wang was beaten, but she did not learn her lesson.
"Then what do you mean? Is it because I can't order you around anymore?" The Matriarch was so angry that she panted.
"Grandmother, please don't be angry. Leave this lowly servant to your grandson.”Ji Chengjun stared at Granny Wang as he comforted the Matriarch.
Granny Wang could only lower her head, not daring to speak.
"Haitang, drag Granny Wang out and give her twenty strokes. Then go to the accountant's office and get some silver. Send this evil slave away and don't let the Matriarch see her again!”Ji Chengjun shouted loudly.
"Let's see who dares to do so." Aunt Du's voice rang out.
This was the first time Aunt Du had come to the Matriarch with her head held high. Although she was not confident, if there was no conclusion to this matter of jealousy, Aunt Du could forget about staying in the Duke of Song's estate in the future.
"Aunt Du, what do you mean?”Ji Chengjun raised his eyebrows, his eyes gloomy.
"Granny Wang is direct. I was not strict with my discipline, but if someone uses Old Master's name to pressure me, I will never listen to her.”As Aunt Du spoke, she bowed to the Matriarch and sat down on the chair.
"How do you guys serve me? The stool in the Matriarch's room didn't even have a cushion. Haitang, bring me a cushion.”Aunt Du was bossy.
Although Haitang was not happy, for the sake of the Matriarch, she could not explode. She walked over obediently and gave Aunt Du a cushion to lean on.
Aunt Du looked at Haitang's face and suddenly stretched out her hand.
"Pa!" A loud slap landed on Haitang's face, causing everyone to be completely stunned.
Haitang just frowned at Aunt Du. She didn't know what this woman was up to.
"What right do you have to hit me?" Ji Chengjun suddenly stood up and pointed at Aunt Du.
"This girl didn't teach her well. When I was in the garden, I said that when servants look at their masters, they have to lower their eyes. Haitang stared at my face. This was a slap to my face. Placing such a girl by the Matriarch's side did not seem appropriate. Since Haitang doesn't know she's wrong, I'll teach her well.”Aunt Du's arrogant appearance made everyone feel uneasy.
Usually, Aunt Du was very respectful to the Matriarch like a mouse meeting a cat. But today, the nanny in her room had been beaten up and was about to be driven out of the Duke of Song's estate. Not only was Aunt Du not anxious, she had even beaten Haitang in front of the Matriarch. What was the purpose of such a blatant provocation?
"Aunt Du, you have to look at the owner before beating a dog. Haitang is my substitute maid. This girl had always been quiet and never took the initiative to stir up trouble. That slap you just gave me was on my face?”The Matriarch's anger sank into her dantian as she slowly spat out a few words.
"How dare I do this? I've served the master for many years and only have a son who is not valued by anyone. Now that the child in my belly has arrived, I'm unhappy to see others bullying the people in my room. Can't I teach this servant a lesson?”As Aunt Du said this, she leaned against the stool and sized up everyone's expressions with her almond-shaped eyes. She was proud of herself.
"Children? The child in your stomach?" Taijun was shocked and had already stood up to stand in front of Aunt Du.
"Reporting to the Matriarch, this concubine is already a month pregnant. It was just that she didn't have a big reaction, so I didn't show it off. But I didn't expect that the servant girls in the residence would actually bully me and take away the food I wanted to eat. It wasn't me who wanted to drink the chicken soup, it was the little devil in my stomach who wanted to eat it. Thinking about it, I've worked so hard for this child, yet I'm being looked down upon. I might as well leave the residence and be an ordinary woman. It's better than being looked down upon by others every day in the Duke Song Residence and being neglected by the old master.”When Aunt Du said this, she squeezed out a few drops of tears, making people feel uneasy.
Aunt Du had grasped the Matriarch's lifeline. Everyone knew that the Matriarch's return this time was to find a wife for Ji Xunyuan to preside over the overall situation. If there was a suitable woman to be a concubine, it would be great for Ji Xunyuan to have children. Now that she had heard the news of Aunt Du's pregnancy, the Matriarch was grinning from ear to ear.
The punishment and unhappiness just now had been erased because of the child in Aunt Du's stomach.
"You sure are tight-lipped. Even if you don't want to tell a boorish man like Ji Xunyuan, who leads troops to war, you still have to tell me about such a big matter. It's not like you don't know how much I wish for another grandson.”The Matriarch's tone softened as she squinted at Aunt Du and laughed non-stop.
"Matriarch, I've been very sleepy these few days. I feel like I'm sleeping at noon. I have no choice. Moreover, everyone's attention was on Mei'e, so my old and yellow side room was not welcomed by everyone. Why should I ask for trouble? I might as well give birth to the children secretly and leave the Duke Song Residence with them. Perhaps, this was what Old Master was looking forward to!”Aunt Du held a trump card in her hand, so she must be nitpicking everywhere.
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and get the doctor in the residence to come over and take a look. If she's just pregnant, she must eat some supplements. It's more important to let the child stay in our house.”The old God smiled.
"Why are you still kneeling there? Go find the doctor!" Aunt Du turned around and looked at Granny Wang, whose mouth was full of blood. She was unhappy.
"This old servant will go now." Granny Wang got up and ran out of the Matriarch's room.
Aunt Du shone the sunlight on Qiao Ling and sized her up.
