Cheng Xi was led by Jiang Subai to her yard.
Neither of them noticed that there were already two figures squatting in the courtyard.
Cheng Jinghe was held down by Cheng Jingyu and was speechless for a moment: "What are we doing here?"
There are no other concubines in the Hou Mansion, only the second wife Jiang Subai.
Their father is in his prime, so there is something wrong with coming here to listen to the corner.
Cheng Jingyu asked him to keep silent: "Dad usually doesn't come to her yard. If he comes today, he must have something to say."
She did it on purpose, knowing that Cheng Xi must have suspected Cheng Jiaojiao's belly just now.
In terms of time, Cheng Jiaojiao should be more than two months pregnant now.
In her previous life, she hid it well. Only Cheng Jingyu knew about it and helped her cover it up.
Just now, she deliberately said it in front of her father. She was obviously suspicious, but he didn't say a word.
They are both daughters, so the father's behavior is a little too aloof.
That's why Cheng Jingyu wanted to come and listen to the corner.
"Master Marquis, I ordered people to prepare water. Would you like to take a bath first?"
Jiang Subai's voice came.
Cheng Xi's voice sounded a little tired: "I still have official duties, so I won't work for you anymore. What's wrong with Jiaojiao's belly?"
He is quite direct.
"You..." Jiang Subai seemed to be frightened: "What do you mean?"
"Subai was born in the Marquis Mansion. Even if I don't treat her as well as Jingyu, I still treat her with all my heart. She is still young now. As a mother, you should guide her, right?"
This sounds strange.
Which biological father would directly admit that he is partial?
Cheng Jinghe frowned slightly.
Even Cheng Jingyu was a little strange.
In her previous life, she didn't pay much attention to Jiang Subai and her daughter, so she had the opportunity to take advantage of them.
She never thought about the relationship between her father and Jiang Subai in detail.
Now it seems that there is something hidden in the middle?
Jiang Subai's voice came sharply from inside the room: "Master Hou, what do you mean? Jiaojiao is also your daughter. How can you only see your legitimate daughter and ignore your concubine?"
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
A woman's trick of messing around will always work.
The room was quiet for a while, with only Jiang Subai's low cries and no comfort from Cheng Xi.
Probably because of this, she felt even more aggrieved: "Master Hou, you have been away from Beijing for more than a year. Jingyu has been in the Hou Mansion since she was a child. I have not spent much time teaching Jiaojiao, but I have neglected Jiaojiao. You are like this now. Aren't you giving me chills in vain?" "
Cheng Jingyu and her brother looked at each other and couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Did Jiang Subai dare to touch her conscience when she said this?
She also took pains to teach her how to get to the position of the first lady of the Hou Mansion if she wasn't thinking about it.
Once they get something good, the mother and daughter must be hiding somewhere, and Cheng Jingyu can only smell it.
Otherwise, why would Cheng Jingyu in her previous life prefer to trust Yu Nixiu instead of being close to Jiang Subai, her stepmother?
Cheng Jinghe obviously knew this, he reached out and rubbed Cheng Jingyu's head.
Cheng Xi in the room also reacted: "You won't treat Jingyu as your own, I know."
"You think of me like this!?" Jiang Subai went crazy instantly: "Did Jingyu tell you something? She is young, how could she know that I am exhausted from running the mansion every day? I treat her with a clear conscience!"
In fact, when it comes to running the mansion, she is not needed at all, the housekeeper is basically taking care of it.
If she were content, leading Yue Yin from the Hou Mansion, her life would be so easy.
"Subai, it has been fifteen years since you entered the mansion, right?" Cheng Xi's tone was still calm, "I never said anything bad about you, but I didn't let go of Xiaonan's position back then. I thought you knew the reason. "
Cheng Jingyu's eyes lit up when she heard her mother's maiden name unexpectedly.
Because she rarely heard about her mother from her father, even when she did, Cheng Xi couldn't hide her sadness.
This time he actually brought it up.
"Master Hou, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Subai asked sobbing, "Are you trying to remind me that no matter fifteen or twenty-five years, it can't compare to a dead person?"
"Jiang Subai!" Cheng Xi couldn't hear such words: "Even if Anan has gone, she is the only one in my heart, and you just took advantage of me to be drunk and caused the current situation, but do you think I don't know? ?Jiaojiao is not my child."
What? !
Cheng Jingyu saw the same shock as herself in Cheng Jinghe's eyes.
Cheng Jiaojiao is not her father’s biological child? !
And Jiang Subai is also a designer?
Why has Daddy never said anything in all these years?
"I won't tell you because the child is innocent. If you, a woman, are accused of fornication, you will have no way out."
Jiang Subai in the room seemed to have fallen down, knocking over the porcelain on the table, and the porcelain pieces clattered all over the floor.
Her lips turned white and she kept trembling: "You, you are talking nonsense, you scared me..."
"I have never slept with you in all these years," Cheng Xi looked down at her: "I thought you could guess it and I knew it."
He didn't say it in front of others, just to fulfill a woman's dignity.
It's not good for anyone to break up, but it doesn't mean that he can endure Jiang Subai's verbal confrontation with his wife.
"Master Hou!" Jiang Subai's face was full of tears. She hugged Cheng Xi's legs and cried so hard: "I, I really like you! Why do you treat me like this!"
"If it weren't for your sincerity, do you think I would let you stay in the Hou Mansion for more than ten years?"
He knew that Jiang Subai could not achieve anything, so he dared to put it in the Hou Mansion.
And Cheng Jiaojiao is just a child.
He thought about raising her up and finding a family to marry her to, which would be worthy of Jiang Subai's sincerity.
But I didn't expect that Cheng Jiaojiao was not simple-minded at a young age, and she even got involved with the queen.
He had to defend.
"Why can't you see me! After all these years, even if I am just a stone, I should be warmed up, but what about you? You have never been sincere to our mother and daughter!"
Jiang Subai suddenly didn't know if all these years were considered a wrongful payment. If not, what did she get?
"As long as you don't set your sights on Jingyu, you can live in peace. But look what Jiaojiao did. She and the queen tried to set up Jingyu. If it leads to a big disaster, do you think I can keep you mother and daughter?" life?"
Jiang Subai shouted that she was wronged: "That was done by the queen, Jiaojiao just happened to be there! Didn't she receive enough punishment?"
"I will give you a chance to teach your daughter by yourself. If there is a next time, I will not let you go easily."
After saying that, Cheng Xi went out without looking at Jiang Subai again.
She almost burst into tears.
"You're all bullying me!" Jiang Subai grabbed the tea can and threw it directly on the door.
There was a loud bang and the porcelain shattered.
"Ren Nanmin! Cheng Jingyu! Why do you have such a good life! One has been dead for fifteen years, and the other was just born in the right belly. He has to protect him in every possible way! Aren't you not allowed to touch me? I want your precious daughter to see you. you!"
Cheng Jinghe couldn't help but wanted to show up, but Cheng Jingyu held him back.
She shook her head gently, signaling her brother not to act rashly.
And there was an inexplicable and penetrating smile on the corner of his mouth, looking like a ghost in a ghost story.
In the past, when she wanted to have Cheng Jiaojiao, she always thought about her father.
It's fine now, they are not from the Cheng family at all, so what are they afraid of?
She wished Jiang Subai would take action, so that she could have a chance to fight back.
