She changed her mind and said apologetically to Han Cui: "Girl, can you go inside and take shelter? My cousin is very sensitive. If she knows that the old lady takes care of me like this, I'm afraid that she will think too much and affect the child."
Han Cui didn't think much about it, thinking that Su Qingyu knew that the old lady didn't want to see Aunt Cheng and didn't want to cause trouble.
Han Cui sat in the inner room, while Su Qingyu sat in the banquet room outside, and then ordered Pearl to invite the cousin in.
As soon as Cheng Rujin came in, he said to Pearl and Jade: "You all go down, I have something to tell my cousin."
The two girls naturally refused, especially Jade, who not only had no intention of going out, but also took two steps closer. She was afraid that Cheng Rujin would suddenly do something dirty and hurt her young lady.
Su Qingyu signaled Pearl and Jade to go out. She wanted to see what Cheng Rujin wanted to do. If her predictions were correct, the child Cheng Rujin should be gone.
She took a closer look at Cheng Rujin's face, which was as pale as paper and obviously sickly.
But today, the Shen family didn't hear anything about her miscarriage. Didn't she tell others?
"What does my cousin want from me? Sit down and talk." Su Qingyu looked gentle and spoke in a calm tone. She poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Cheng Rujin.
Cheng Rujin took the tea cup and threw it to the ground. Su Qingyu took a few steps back to avoid being affected.
"Miss, are you okay?" Jade's urgent voice sounded outside.
Su Qingyu said softly: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about it."
She glanced at the celadon fragments on the ground, then looked at Cheng Rujin, "Cousin, what are you doing? Have I offended you in any way?"
His tone was much colder than before.
Cheng Rujin snorted, "Su Qingyu, you don't have to pretend to be here with me. You went behind my back to sow discord between me and Brother Shen Zhao. Now Brother Shen Zhao ignores me, are you satisfied?"
"If you still like her, you can marry him openly. You broke off the engagement before, and now you're hooking up with him. What's going on?"
Su Qingyu frowned, sighed and said, "Cousin, you are still pregnant with the child, don't get excited."
While speaking, she stared closely at Cheng Rujin's expression.
When Cheng Rujin heard about the child, her eyes visibly moved and her face twisted, as if she had thought of something she didn't want to face.
Su Qingyu concluded at this point that the child was gone. Cheng Rujin didn't take a good rest and came to her just to talk nonsense?
Su Qingyu responded with all her energy, feeling that there was something in between that she hadn't expected.
Looking inside from the corner of his eye, he could vaguely see the shadow of Han Cui falling on the ground.
Su Qingyu opened her mouth and said to Cheng Rujin: "Cousin, you don't have to doubt me and Young Master Shen. If he can do something like being with my cousin before getting married, I already despise him."
"The relationship between us is just what our parents ordered us to do. We have no feelings at all. I am very angry about what you did, but anyone would be angry if this kind of thing happened to me."
"Now that you have entered the Shen family, and I have made an engagement with Mr. Shen, I will never do such dirty things."
"Go back. I will pretend that I have never heard these words today and will not say them to anyone."
Su Qingyu was like an older sister, teaching her younger sisters at home.
These words were not so much for Cheng Rujin as they were for the old lady.
She quietly inquired about it today. Shen Zhao went back to the house that day to find the old lady and said that he wanted to marry her, but the old lady refused.
She believed that what she said today should dispel the old lady's doubts.
Cheng Rujin looked at Su Qingyu in confusion. With her temper, shouldn't she scold her or take action directly? Why do you keep trying to persuade her?
She didn't understand why Su Qingyu suddenly changed her temper, but she had no time to remain in a stalemate and could only take the initiative herself.
"Su Qingyu, if I don't do well, you can't even think about getting better."
As he said that, he rushed towards the nanmu square table next to Su Qingyu.
He also shouted, "Cousin, why did you push me?"
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Rujin hit the edge of the table, slid down and lay directly on the ground.
Yuxiu was the first to run in, "Miss, what's wrong with you? I'm going to call someone right now. Miss, hold on, there's still a baby in your belly."
The next moment, Cheng Rujin clutched her stomach, frowned and shouted, "It hurts, Yuxiu, go and tell the eldest lady and the old lady that someone wants to harm the eldest grandson of the Shen family."
Su Qingyu stood aside and looked at Cheng Rujin coldly. This blackmail was really clever.
Yuxiu ran out quickly, while Su Qingyu ordered Pearl and Jade to carry Cheng Rujin to the bed.
Han Cui, who was hiding in the house before, nodded to Su Qingyu and left quickly. I don’t know whether to call the doctor or report back to the old lady.
Not long after, the old lady came over with the eldest lady Chen, followed by a large number of maids and servants.
It was another day like this when it came to the heirs of the Shen family, so both of them looked gloomy.
Aunt Hua, who was beside the old lady, first stepped forward to check, then walked up to the old lady, shaking her head, and said, "Old lady, I'm afraid I can't save it."
Mrs. Chen frowned, "What happened? Why did Aunt Cheng come to listen to Xuetang? And why did she fall?"
Cheng Rujin's maid Yuxiu took two steps forward and said, "Reporting to the old lady, eldest madam, our aunt heard that the eldest lady came today and wanted to come and see our cousin."
"The cousins were talking in the room and sent all the slaves out. The slaves outside heard the eldest lady insulting our aunt all the time, saying that our aunt was coquettish, seducing Young Master Shen, and even throwing the tea cup."
"Our aunt felt guilty, so she kept apologizing to the eldest lady. Later, she heard her yelling, why did the eldest cousin push me? Then there was the sound of my aunt falling."
"When the slave came in, my aunt had already fallen on the table and kept complaining that she had a stomachache."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen looked at Su Qingyu and asked sternly: "Why are you so cruel? This is our eldest grandson, how dare you attack?"
Although it is said that a concubine should not be pregnant before the main wife enters the house, but if she is already pregnant, she cannot abort it.
In addition, Shen Zhao is the grandson of Shen's parents. If he gives birth to the eldest son at this time, he will have a better chance of winning when fighting for the property. They had already discussed it and told the public that she was conceived before Mr. Shen died.
So after Cheng Rujin came in, Mrs. Chen was still concerned and hoped that she would give birth to a son.
Su Qingyu looked at the old lady and said, "Old lady, I didn't do this. The maid next to me can testify."
Pearl hurriedly said: "This Yuxiu is confusing right and wrong. My cousin scolded us when she came in. She also broke the tea cup."
Yuxiu retorted: "You are the eldest lady's maid, so of course you speak to the eldest lady. Can't our aunt still bump into the table by ourselves?"
Su Qingyu thought to herself, wasn't it her own fault?
"Old madam, my cousin is in critical condition. It's better to wait for the doctor to come and see what he says. As for what is right and wrong between us, we can confront her face to face when my cousin gets better."
The old lady pondered and said nothing, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ms. Chen was reluctant, "Mother, how could such a person marry into the Shen family? If you ask me, just cancel the marriage and we'll look for a good one for her."
