Hearing Jing Xunce's words, the little eunuch beside him was so scared that he immediately knelt down. He didn't want Miss Zheng to speak either, but Miss Zheng simply ignored his words.
He didn't dare to stop her either. The punishment for Lord Zheng hadn't been decided yet. What if he accidentally offended someone? So when Miss Zheng stammered and pleaded with the Regent, he didn't step forward to stop her. What if the Regent took a fancy to Miss Zheng and she soared to great heights?
If Jing Xunce had known what was going on in the little eunuch's mind, he would surely have kicked him. What a thoughtless thing! Didn't he see how much the Regent doted on the Regent's Consort on a daily basis? How could the Regent abandon his consort for such an ugly woman?
"Go and drag her back for this Marquis. Immediately gag her. If she dares to utter another word, this Marquis will take your head!"
The little eunuch was intimidated by Jing Xunce's murderous words. Without daring to delay, he immediately stepped forward and found two strong eunuchs to drag Miss Zheng back. When she tried to speak, they immediately took a piece of cloth from the side and stuffed it into Miss Zheng's mouth.
Miss Zheng didn't know what kind of cloth the little eunuch had taken. She felt that this piece of cloth had a strange smell, a very stinky smell. She was almost fainted by the stench.
Miss Zheng struggled to break free from the hands of the two strong eunuchs. She felt that she was about to move the Regent. The Lord was about to feel her gentleness and generosity. These damned eunuchs actually ruined her good deed at this critical moment. When she became the Regent's Consort, she would surely not let them off.
Miss Zheng thought viciously. Lord Zheng glanced at his eldest daughter but said nothing. When his eldest daughter stepped forward just now, he also had a glimmer of hope in his heart. But now that the Marquis of Zhongning was here, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Miss Zheng, the eldest daughter, was controlled. Lord Zheng knelt on the ground obediently. But Miss Zheng, the second daughter, was not an obedient one either. From the moment the Marquis of Zhongning entered the main hall, this man had taken root in her heart.
Such a man was worthy of her. No other man was as exciting as the Marquis of Zhongning. Such a man must be very fierce in bed. Just thinking about it, Miss Zheng's face blushed. She shyly looked at Jing Xunce.
Jing Xunce felt a burning gaze. He followed the line of sight and found that it was Miss Zheng, the second daughter. For a moment, Jing Xunce's and Miss Zheng's eyes met. Jing Xunce felt extremely nauseous in his heart.
This person's gaze was really disgusting. It made him want to vomit. Jing Xunce quickly turned his head and no longer looked at her. After Qier came out, he must take a good look at Qier to wash his eyes.
Miss Zheng, the second daughter, had the opposite reaction to Jing Xunce. When their eyes met, her heart was pounding. Her cheeks were even redder than before. The Marquis of Zhongning had just been looking at her.
She wondered if she had looked good just now. Miss Zheng regretted that there was no mirror here. But the Marquis of Zhongning must have had a bad impression of her seeing her in such a mess.
Thinking of this, she began to resent Lady Zheng. All these were the things Lady Zheng had caused. Why should they be punished here for her? Miss Zheng kept cursing Lady Zheng in her heart, completely forgetting that Lady Zheng had caused trouble for Mu Fengqie because of the two of them.
For a moment, everyone outside had their own thoughts. Before long, Mu Fengqie came out. Yuan Yuhan immediately rushed up.
"How is Aru?" Yuan Yuhan looked at Mu Fengqie nervously, worried that she would say something bad. Fortunately, Mu Fengqie took a deep breath and said to Yuan Yuhan with a smile:
"Don't worry. Aru is fine. The... in her belly..." The baby is fine too.
Before Mu Fengqie could finish her words, Yuan Yuhan rushed in. Mu Fengqie turned to look into the room. Yuan Yuhan was kneeling beside the bed, looking affectionately at Aru who was still in a coma. Mu Fengqie shook her head and didn't disturb them. She quietly walked out and closed the door.
"Qier, how is the Regent's Consort?" Jing Xunce looked at the exhaustion in Mu Fengqie's eyes and felt extremely distressed. He stepped forward and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Aru is fine. The baby is fine too. She was just frightened and had a threatened miscarriage. Now she's okay." Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunce with a smile.
Hearing that the baby in the Regent's Consort's belly was okay, Miss Zheng, the eldest daughter, dimmed her eyes for a moment. But then she cheered up again. It didn't matter. Even if the Regent's Consort's baby was still there, it wouldn't be there after she entered the Regent's Mansion. In the future, there would only be her baby in the mansion.
After comforting herself, Miss Zheng, the eldest daughter, burned with new determination in her eyes. She believed that she would surely capture the Regent's heart.
After seeing Mu Fengqie come out, Miss Zheng, the second daughter, saw that the Marquis of Zhongning only had eyes for her. Miss Zheng, the second daughter, felt extremely heartbroken. Her eyes were as venomous as if they were poisoned as she looked at Mu Fengqie. If looks could kill, Mu Fengqie would have been killed by Miss Zheng, the second daughter, countless times.
If Mu Fengqie couldn't feel such a strong gaze, she would really be a fool. Mu Fengqie looked at Miss Zheng, the second daughter, and thought this woman looked familiar. After thinking carefully, Mu Fengqie finally remembered. Isn't this the woman who had scolded her in the main hall at the beginning?
Looking at the three people kneeling outside, Mu Fengqie immediately understood. "Is this Lady Zheng's family?" Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunce.
"Yes, it's them. Lady Zheng is still being treated. I just asked them to come and kneel here first." Jing Xunce looked at them and said indifferently.
"Princess Tianlin, since the Regent's Consort is okay, can we get up?" Miss Zheng, the second daughter, looked at Mu Fengqie with disgust in her eyes. She was kneeling while Mu Fengqie was standing. It was as if she was kneeling to Mu Fengqie. This feeling made her feel terrible.
Hearing this, Lord Zheng beside her trembled in his heart. Wasn't his second daughter usually very smart? What was wrong with her today? Had she left her brain at home? How dare she say such a thing?
Before Lord Zheng could speak, Mu Fengqie burst out laughing. Mu Fengqie really couldn't understand what Miss Zheng, the second daughter, was thinking. How could her thought process be so strange?
"Miss Zheng, the second daughter, are you joking?" After laughing, Mu Fengqie looked at Miss Zheng, the second daughter, sharply, making Miss Zheng, the second daughter, take a step back for a moment.
But after reacting, she glared at Mu Fengqie fiercely. Damn it! She had actually been scared by this woman.
