The Qin County Princess Consort wanted to play rough, but the Qian family's old matriarch was present. Why else would this old hag suddenly appear if not to back this little slut? Furthermore, someone had just reported that this little slut possessed some skills. Truly, raised in the countryside, a proper young lady from a good family, learning such underhanded martial arts, it was utterly shameful.
"You know your legitimate mother has given birth, yet you don't hurry to her side to serve. Instead, you rush to curry favor with a concubine. What, do you think that slut can surpass your legitimate mother just because she's had a child?" the Qin County Princess Consort said coldly. "I'm telling you, don't harbor any foolish delusions."
Qi Zhenzhen replied unhurriedly, "I've never harbored any foolish delusions. I merely don't want any mishaps with Father's bloodline. After all, with the family's lineage not flourishing, my father greatly yearns for descendants. I've always been puzzled: the concubine fell and disturbed her pregnancy, causing the early delivery. With so many people serving Mother, how did she also fall?"
Fell, fell your head! The Qin County Princess Consort narrowed her eyes. "You're cursing your legitimate mother to fall, what do you mean by that?"
"I wasn't cursing at all; I genuinely can't understand why Mother also had an early delivery," Qi Zhenzhen said innocently.
"Your mother heard that Concubine Ru Yan fell, and in her anxiety, her pregnancy was disturbed," the Qin County Princess Consort said.
"Oh, Mother is so worried about Concubine Ru Yan. I misunderstood Mother. It turns out that Nanny Qin twisted Mother's meaning! Once Father returns, I will truthfully report this matter. Before the child is even born, they are taking away the physicians and midwives. Isn't this framing Mother as unjust? Such wicked servants cannot remain by Mother's side, otherwise, who knows if she might harm Mother?" Qi Zhenzhen said with concern.
The Qin County Princess Consort was almost infuriated to the point of fainting. This little slut's skill in specious reasoning was truly formidable. Nanny Qin was to leave under their orders. Why? Because this little slut was causing trouble there. Their intention was that if Qi Tianming asked, they would blame this little slut. Now, with her eloquent tongue, all the dirty water had been splashed onto them.
The Qin County Princess Consort cast a sinister glance at Qi Zhenzhen, flicked her sleeves, and left in a huff.
"Thank you for coming all this way, Old Matriarch. If you hadn't come..."
"Even if I hadn't come, you little girl could have handled it. You're quite something, aren't you? That's your legitimate mother's mother, the County Princess Consort, favored by the Empress Dowager. Who doesn't treat her with utmost politeness?" Old Mrs. Qian interjected.
"Old Matriarch, I had no choice. If I weren't firm, I would have already been accused of disrespecting my legitimate mother and taken away for punishment. Now, Nanny Qin is watching over my Longxiang Courtyard, and Father's people have been released to Concubine Ru Yan's side. With their protection, there shouldn't be any problems. The most urgent matter now is my grandmother's health! Looking at them, it seems they are certain my grandmother can no longer speak or write." Qi Zhenzhen frowned. "If that's the case, they will surely try to frame Nanny Fang."
This was Qi Zhenzhen's concern. With the Old Matriarch in such a state, she naturally wouldn't be able to manage anything. Then, they would concoct a charge against Nanny Fang and dismiss her, and the Old Matriarch would be completely incapacitated.
This plan not only targeted Concubine Ru Yan's pregnancy but also aimed to eliminate her support.
Wanting to kill two birds with one stone? Heh, that depends on whether her arrow is strong enough. If the arrow breaks and injures herself, that would be quite amusing.
