Chapter 117 Princess, where are you? Someone is threatening me.
As the saying goes, there are always people better than you and mountains beyond mountains, and each mountain is higher than the last.
Madam Zhou was a high-ranking wife of a vice minister in front of Song Pingping, but in front of the even higher-ranking princess, she was nothing more than the wife of a subject. When the princess said she was wrong and made her apologize to a concubine, she could not resist.
How incredibly frustrating!
Just like that day when she was so condescending to Song Pingping, not saying a word of disdain, but making Song Pingping sensible and not to ruin Lin Yuansheng's future, Song Pingping felt endless resentment and anger but could not vent it.
Madam Zhou opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute it.
The people inside hurriedly helped Zhou Ning to a chair and sat her down. Lü Qiao kindly sent a maid to invite Mr. Hu to come and take a look, lest he really upset her.
Lü Qiao advised Madam Zhou, "I know Madam Zhou is too proud to apologize, but Madam Zhou was in the wrong first. Aunt Song is from the Pingxi Marquis's mansion, and the princess is protective of her own and cannot bear to see her people being bullied."
"Madam Zhou, just apologize to give face to the princess and the Pingxi Marquis's mansion, and the matter will be over."
Madam Zhou then looked at Song Pingping.
Song Pingping had been making a living since she was a child, and she wasn't one to be forgiving. At this moment, as she lay on the bed, her gaze towards Madam Zhou still held a hint of smugness:
"If Madam Zhou is unwilling to apologize, that's fine too. I'll just tell the princess that Madam Zhou doesn't feel she needs to apologize, and then the princess will be angry..."
"Miss Song," Madam Zhou said coldly, "do you think the princess will protect you forever?"
"Oh dear, are you threatening me?" Song Pingping clenched her fist and pounded the bed, feigning tears. "Princess, where are you? Someone is threatening me, boohoo... I don't want to live anymore..."
Everyone: "..."
She was crying so hard that everyone present almost thought the princess was her husband.
Madam Zhou was so angry that her hand trembled.
She was probably also amazed, although she had heard that this princess was a tolerant and virtuous person who not only voluntarily arranged for the Marquis of Pingxi to take a concubine, but also treated the concubines in her household with great kindness.
But this is the first time I've ever seen a concubine who has been wronged cry and goes to the principal wife.
"Princess, waaaaah~~~"
She actually took on the role.
Madam Zhou was in a bind. She was also worried that she might attract Qin Yizhen again, and then she would have to apologize in front of the princess.
“Miss Song,” Madam Zhou took a deep breath and exhaled, “I was wrong about what happened before. I shouldn’t have humiliated you. I hope you can forgive me. Is that alright?”
Song Pingping pursed her lips, secretly thinking it was a pity: "Since the princess said that if Madam Zhou apologizes to me, the matter will be over, then that is certainly feasible. However, Madam Lin also needs to apologize to me."
Madam Zhou choked, her eyes growing even colder: "You've already caused Ning'er to faint, what more do you want?"
“Madam Zhou, you’re wrong. She clearly fainted on her own. What does it have to do with me? Just like you said before, I supported Lin Yuansheng’s education because I wanted to. What does it have to do with Lin Yuansheng?”
Song Pingping gripped the blue curtain beside her, her gaze towards Madam Zhou turning cold: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask her to apologize to me, it's not a big deal."
Madam Zhou was so angry that her face turned pale.
Making them apologize to Song Pingping, that village woman, isn't that a big deal?
This is simply humiliating them and letting them trample on their dignity!
Madam Zhou took a few deep breaths, her face growing increasingly gloomy.
"Alright, then I hope Miss Song can accept our apology."
“Of course I can accept it.”
Before long, Mr. Hu was invited over. After taking Zhou Ning's pulse, he raised an eyebrow slightly and then congratulated Madam Zhou: "Congratulations, Madam Zhou! Your daughter is pregnant."
Is she pregnant?
Instead of showing any joy, Madam Zhou's face darkened even more.
When Lin Yuansheng and Zhou Ning got married, Song Pingping came once, but apart from the Zhou family, no one in Qindu knew that Lin Yuansheng had a fiancée who supported his studies.
Now that Song Pingping has made a scene, there is no evidence of hiring someone to commit murder. Lin Yuansheng has been ungrateful and violated the marriage agreement, which has ruined his reputation. Even if he is lucky enough not to be dismissed from his post, his career is over.
If you're lucky, you might become a county magistrate, but you'll rarely have a chance to be promoted in your entire life.
When Madam Zhou and Zhou Ning came to the Pingxi Marquis's residence, whether they were asking Qin Yizhen or Song Pingping, they only hoped that Song Pingping would withdraw the petition, settle the matter privately, and say to the outside world that there had never been a marriage agreement.
However, Madam Zhou did not expect that Qin Yizhen would not only not help, but also scold them for abusing their power and demand that they apologize to Song Pingping. Song Pingping was also aggressive and refused to back down.
Madam Zhou thought that if Lin Yuansheng really failed this time, she would have Zhou Ning divorce Lin Yuansheng and then find a good match.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ning became pregnant at this time.
Mrs. Zhou immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Song Pingping raised her eyebrows and smiled: "So Madam Lin is pregnant. Congratulations! In the past, Lin Tanhua and Madam Lin said that they were deeply in love and would never leave each other for life. No outsider could compare to them. Now that they have a son, it is naturally a great joy."
"I also wish Lin Tanhua and Madam Lin a lifetime of love and happiness, and that they will never leave each other. I am not the kind of person who would make things difficult for a pregnant woman, so there is no need for Madam Lin to apologize. Madam Zhou can take her back."
Since you're pregnant, you should make sure you give birth to this child properly. It would be terrible if you miscarried due to complications.
Zhou Ning no longer needed to apologize, but Madam Zhou was still suffering from a severe heart attack. With a dark expression, she said, "In that case, we will take our leave."
Having said that, Madam Zhou disregarded Zhou Ning's pregnancy, had her maid help her up, and then hurriedly left.
I really don't want to stay here for even a second longer.
Lü Qiao personally escorted them to the door, and after watching them get into the carriage and leave, she returned to Chunxie Courtyard and informed Qin Yizhen of the matter.
"Pregnant?" Qin Yizhen frowned. "Getting pregnant at this time is not a good thing."
Lin Yuansheng is doomed this time. It's good that Zhou Ning doesn't have children. She can divorce him and cut all ties, go back to the Zhou family, and find another marriage after this matter has faded away.
But if she gets pregnant and gives birth, then she'll be in a dilemma.
Lü Qiao said, "Princess, you don't know, when Mr. Hu told Madam Zhou that her daughter was pregnant, Madam Zhou's face turned black. It's true that evil people will always be punished by evil people. Knowing that Lin Yuansheng is a scoundrel, she still dared to let her daughter marry him."
"It's such a pity for this child. If he hadn't been born, he would never have been born into this world. Even if he had been born, he would probably have been implicated by his father and gossiped about..."
