Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 447: Concubine of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion 9

When the old lady heard her grandson mention Ding Xinhui, the smile on her face immediately disappeared: "Your mother is sick and is recovering. How could she come to grandma's place?"

"Mother is ill," Zhou Rurui left his grandmother as soon as he heard that his stepmother was ill. "Grandma, why is mother ill? If she is ill, why didn't you send someone to the Ding Mansion to inform me and my brother?"

"No, I have to go see my mother." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Rurui stood up and ran outside quickly.

"Grandma, I'll go see mother first and come back later to have lunch with you." After saying this, Zhou Fengting left in a hurry.

This really pissed off the old lady: "Look at these two children, look how filial they are to that cunning woman Ding Xinhui."

Although she said this, the old lady still couldn't bear to blame the two children: "But this can't be blamed on the two children. After all, even a person of my age has been deceived by Ding Xinhui, that cunning woman, for so many years, let alone the two children."

"Madam, what if Madam talks nonsense in front of the young master and the young lady, for example, bad things about you, then what should we do?" Madam Qiu said worriedly:

"She dares," the old lady said sternly, "If Ding Xinhui dares to say something bad about me in front of the two children, then I will expose what she did and let the two children see how unpresentable Ding Xinhui is."

It’s not that the old lady didn’t want to expose Ding Xinhui’s true face, but she was afraid of polluting the two children’s ears. Of course, the most important thing was that she was afraid of hurting the two children.

After all, even she was furious when she found out Ding Xinhui's true face. If the two children knew that the stepmother they had always respected was actually a sinister and cunning person, how could the two children's young minds accept it?

When Zhou Fengting and his sister arrived at the main courtyard, Ding Xinhui was taking medicine.

"Mother, why are you sick?" Zhou Rurui came to the bedside immediately, her eyes red as she said, "If I had known that you were sick, I should have returned from my grandfather's house earlier."

"Mom, I am unfilial," Zhou Fengting said as he stepped forward. "Mom, you are sick, but I am still staying at my grandfather's house. I didn't come back in time to care about your condition. This is really unfilial."

From this we can see that Ding Xinhui's efforts over the years have not been in vain. She has firmly controlled the hearts of the two children and made them extremely filial to her.

"It's just a minor illness. You'll be fine after taking a few doses of medicine. Why do I need to tell you specifically?" Ding Xinhui showed a gentle smile. "By the way, you've been living happily at your grandfather's house for some time. I should have brought you back earlier, but your father wanted to take a concubine, and I was sick again, so I didn't bring you back for so long."

"Father took a concubine. When did this happen? Why didn't anyone tell us?" Zhou Rurui said in surprise:

Zhou Rurui didn't feel anything about her father taking a concubine, she just felt it was a little sudden.

The reason why the Ding family did not tell the two children about this matter was that they felt it was unnecessary. After all, it was an insignificant matter for a son-in-law to take a concubine, even if it was a noble concubine. There was no need to specifically tell the two children.

"Mother, are you sick because of that concubine?" Zhou Fengting frowned, and suddenly felt dissatisfied with the concubine his father had taken in.

"What?" Zhou Rurui said angrily, "Mother, is it true as my brother said that you got sick because of the concubine that father took in?"

"What are you two thinking about?" Ding Xinhui said helplessly, "People eat grains and it's normal for them to get sick. The most important thing is that your father is not a foolish person. How could he have spoiled his concubine so much that she became more important than his wife and even made me sick?"

"Okay, mother is still ill, you guys should leave quickly, or you will be infected by her illness," Ding Xinhui said to Zi Ling, "Zi Ling, send the prince and the eldest lady back."

"Prince, Miss, Madam still needs to take medicine, so let me take you back first!" Zi Ling looked at the two young masters and said:

"Mother, my child and my sister will come to see you tomorrow." Zhou Fengting bowed to his stepmother on the bed, then left with his sister.

Zi Ling naturally hurried to catch up with the two young masters.

After watching the two children leave, Ding Xinhui's face turned gloomy. From this, it can be seen that she was not moved by the filial piety of the two children, but only felt annoyed.

"Madam, why don't you tell the prince and the eldest lady the truth so that they can help you deal with Aunt Jiang," Zishu said, "You know how much the Marquis cares about the two young masters. If the two young masters help you deal with Aunt Jiang, maybe the Marquis can send Aunt Jiang away."

"With Aunt Jiang's face, do you think the Marquis would be willing to send her away?" Ding Xinhui sneered, "What's more, if I really use the two children to deal with Aunt Jiang, do you think the Marquis will not guess it? By then, whether there is evidence or not, the Marquis will just have to believe that I am the one behind it."

Then Ding Xinhui's face darkened: "The Marquis is extremely fed up with me now. I can't do anything more at this time."

"But we have suffered two serious losses at the hands of Madam Jiang in a row, which is enough to prove that Madam Jiang has no intention of letting Madam go," Zi Shu frowned in worry, "I still can't figure out how Madam Jiang bribed Shaoyao. How long has she been in the mansion? And yet she was able to bribe the people in our courtyard without anyone noticing."

"You know, Shaoyao is a family child. Logically speaking, she is the least likely to be bribed. Otherwise, when something goes wrong, the whole family will be implicated."

"But Shaoyao was not only bribed, but also disregarded the lives of her family members and risked her life to slander the lady."

"Madam, why do I feel that Concubine Jiang is so evil?"

Ding Xinhui frowned: "You mean, Aunt Jiang might not be a human, but a demon."

"Yes!" Zi Shu nodded, and said with a horrified expression, "Madam, think about it, if Aunt Jiang didn't have any magic, how could Shaoyao disregard the lives of her family and risk her own life to slander you."

"Anyway, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. I am really very uneasy!"

Ding Xinhui's expression became serious now: "If Aunt Jiang is really a monster, then things will be very difficult. Maybe my life will be taken away by that monster soon."
