When Marquis Dingyuan learned that his wife had called a doctor, he frowned slightly, feeling annoyed and impatient.
He just didn't understand why the lady cared so much about this daughter whom she had never met
It is obvious that when she didn't know about this before, the lady loved Pengfei so much. Now that Pengfei has been away for such a long time, she has not asked a single question about him. She is only thinking about Chen Mingyue.
You must know that if Chen Mingyue was still alive, once her identity was discovered, she would most likely become the death warrant of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
The mere disappearance of Chen Mingyue had already made him extremely uneasy. He felt as if there was a sword hanging over his head and he didn't know when it would fall.
But his wife, who is too soft-hearted, actually wants to keep the man by her side. It is really stupid.
However, the marquis's wife's father and brother were both highly regarded by the emperor, and Marquis Dingyuan would never let his wife be separated from him, so he pretended to be concerned and went to the West Courtyard to visit her.
West courtyard.
The marquis's wife lay on the bed with a pale face, her eyes fixed on the screen embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, her mind having drifted away to who knows where else.
Doctor Liu, who was in the Marquis's residence, took her pulse and explained to Steward Du beside her: "Madam was suddenly greatly stimulated, which caused chest tightness, shortness of breath, and deficiency of qi and blood. This is why she felt dizzy for a while. She just needs to rest for a few days and drink ginseng soup according to the prescription for a few days.
Manager Du frowned his chubby face, quickly agreed, and took Doctor Liu downstairs to write a prescription.
Just as I reached the door, I saw the Marquis walk in.
Steward Du bowed and saluted, his voice suddenly getting louder: "Greetings, Lord Marquis."
When the Marquis's wife heard this, her eyes moved and finally some spirit appeared in her eyes.
Dingyuan Hou glanced inside calmly, and then asked Steward Du in a low voice: "How is Madam's health?"
Manager Du shook his head and sighed, "It's nothing serious, it's just a moment of anger. My Lord, please go in and see the Madam first. I have to take Doctor Liu down to write a prescription."
"Go ahead." Marquis Dingyuan nodded, walked around the two of them and continued walking inside.
As soon as he entered the room, he waved to the two maids standing by and said, "I want to have a private conversation with my wife. You all go down and wait."
The two maids lowered their heads, agreed, and then retreated.
The marquis's wife looked up at him, a gleam of regret and hatred flashed across her eyes, but she eventually returned to her usual calm demeanor.
When he was young, Marquis Dingyuan was indeed wise and handsome. In addition, he was sweet-mouthed and good at coaxing people. This made the daughter of the Minister of Revenue fall in love with him at first sight and would rather marry him against the wishes of her biological father, the Minister of Revenue.
When she first became the Marquis's wife, she was so sure that this man loved her just as she loved him.
But this marriage was not as beautiful as she had imagined. However, after a few months of marriage, she woke up from her dream and realized that in this man's eyes, power came first. He married her not because he liked her, but because her father was the Minister of Revenue.
Not long after marrying her, she discovered that he not only kept in touch with Prime Minister Ye's daughter, but was also secretly involved with the daughter of Censor Dong. In addition, many noble ladies she knew in her boudoir also had close relationships with him.
It turned out that he had been flirting with noble ladies all along, and it turned out that the love letters he sent to her were all the same, with each noble lady holding a copy. And she was just the easiest one to deceive among his many choices.
But she had already married him and was pregnant, so it was useless to regret it. At that time, she touched her slightly pregnant belly and told herself that it was okay, even a stone could be warmed up, let alone a living person, she could wait with her child for him to change his ways.
But she never expected that he would exchange her child for the title. That was the piece of flesh that fell from her body after ten months of pregnancy, and the only hope she had when she saw no hope in him.
She didn't even know that the child she was raising was someone else's, so now every time she thought of her love for Wen Pengfei, she felt overwhelmed with guilt.
When her own child was being bullied like that, she loved other people's children without knowing it.
She hates it.
Even when Marquis Dingyuan seldom came to her room later, she had never hated him as much as she did now.
The funny thing is that many times, she told herself that he should have her in his heart, otherwise why did she give birth to his child? Otherwise, why would he care so much about Pengfei
But it turned out that she was just a fool and a joke.
The Marquis's wife closed her eyes, and a tear unconsciously fell from the corner of her eyes.
Dingyuan Hou's expression was as cold as usual, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Okay, do you want everyone to know about that? Wasn't it fine before you didn't know? Who are you showing this to now?"
When the Marquis's wife heard this, an uncontrollable resentment surged in her heart. She clutched the sheets tightly and managed to hold back the questions and insults that were about to come out of her mouth.
She bit her lips until they bled, and after a while she spoke, "I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think about not having seen the child yet. It should be better after a few days."
At this time, Marquis Dingyuan was still thinking about the mess Wen Pengfei had caused, and didn't notice her expression.
His expression relaxed, and he said earnestly, "Wouldn't it be better if you had never met him? Anyway, there is no affection. You should just pretend you don't know about this. You can only keep an eye on Pengfei. He has caused me a big trouble again this time."
In the past, if the Marquis's wife knew that her son had gotten into trouble again, she would have come to Marquis Dingyuan early to humble herself and apologize in various ways.
But now when she thought about the past, she felt that Marquis Dingyuan had gone too far. He clearly knew that Wen Pengfei was not his child, but he still wanted her to suffer humiliation for such an illegitimate child. It was really ridiculous and hateful.
But she said she knew.
She would naturally take good care of Wen Pengfei, so that his parents would not be in vain for treating her like that.
Seeing that she was particularly well-behaved today, Marquis Dingyuan's mood finally eased a little. He gave her a few more instructions and then left the West Courtyard.
The Marquis's wife propped herself up and planned to go out to meet the Zhou and Chen families. She couldn't wait to see those who had bullied her daughter suffer, otherwise she would collapse.
Manager Du knew that he could not persuade the lady, so he appointed a few trusted aides to follow him.
