Chapter 248 -98: Lady Cheng Leaves Beijing_3

Lady Cheng, in a panic, cried injustice, “Old Master, I haven’t, I haven’t done anything, it must be that servant Granny Liu who framed me. Old Master, you must believe me, I really didn’t continue the medicine that would allow the chambermaid to get pregnant.”

When someone has already lost trust in you, nothing you say will make them believe. No matter how dry Lady Cheng’s mouth became from talking, Ma Chengteng would not believe her anymore.

Ruo Lan was quick with her hands and feet, preparing everything with the fastest speed. The maids and old nannies by Lady Cheng’s side had already received Ma Chengteng’s orders to start packing up in the evening.

Ma Linlin knew her father was sending her mother back to her hometown and desperately pleaded with Ma Chengteng not to send her mother away. Eventually, with her pleas going unheard, she hardened her heart, “Dad, if you insist on sending Mom back to her hometown, then I will also follow her back.” Ma Linlin regretted this decision so much later that it turned her guts blue.

Ma Chengteng had already decided that Lady Cheng would lead to the downfall of the Ma Family, how could he change his mind? “Since you want to follow your mother back to her hometown, Dad will grant your wish.” Turning around, he then ordered Ma Linlin’s maids and old nannies to pack her luggage as well.

Ruo Lan found Ma Chengteng’s decision speechless, “The young miss is only ten years old, just at the time to learn manners. Now being sent to her hometown for three to five years, she’ll come back a wild girl, and by then it will be difficult for the young miss to find a suitable match.” Although Ruo Lan did not like Ma Linlin, she still could not understand Ma Chengteng’s thinking; even if he was disappointed with his wife, he should not ruin his daughter as well! Sigh, with such a foolish Old Master, no wonder the backward was such a mess! Now, the only thing Ruo Lan was grateful for was that Ma Chengteng was not so foolish in external affairs.

Ruo Lan prayed silently in her heart that her husband would never be like her father-in-law. Thinking about this, she smiled; she managed the backyard so well that these messy incidents would never arise.

Ma Chengteng’s actions were swift, and three days later, he sent Lady Cheng away from Capital City. To be on the safe side, Ma Chengteng even sent his own trusted people to escort Lady Cheng away.

Ruo Lan found Ma Chengteng’s actions strange and couldn’t help but ask Ma Peng, “Did mother-in-law commit some grave mistake?” Although she did not interact much with her father-in-law, she knew he was not a heartless person, so Lady Cheng must have made a serious mistake for him to make such a firm decision.

Ma Peng was also confused, “I don’t know.” Ma Peng really did not know what was going on! But Lady Cheng leaving was a relief; without her causing trouble, people could finally have peaceful days.

Just as Ruo Lan let go of this matter, she heard something that made her furious: a chambermaid was pregnant before Ruo Lan married into the family.

Ruo Lan was a very calm person, and considering the previous events, she also guessed that this was probably why her father-in-law had sent her mother-in-law away. Although the chambermaid’s child was aborted, Ruo Lan still felt a suffocating anger and refused to speak to Ma Peng upon his return, remaining silent.

Ruo Lan felt extremely uncomfortable inside, yet she knew a woman couldn’t be too rigid. If this were to damage their fortune and affection, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Ma Peng was innocent, and after repeatedly asking Ruo Lan what was wrong without getting an answer, he had no choice but to ask the maids by Ruo Lan’s side.

Cai Yun revealed the chambermaid’s pregnancy. After venting, she said indignantly, “Son-in-law, this is too much.” They had thought the son-in-law was kind and a right choice for the mistress. They hadn’t expected that almost a concubine-born child was about to appear.

Ma Peng was shocked, “How could there be a child? It’s impossible.” After thinking for a moment, he hurried into the bedroom and said to Ruo Lan, who was cold-faced, “Ruo Lan, it is impossible for Chu Xia and Chu Liu to be pregnant. Since our engagement, I haven’t let them come close to me. How could they possibly be pregnant with my child?” Ma Peng was not promiscuous; securing such a fine match made him completely satisfied. After meeting Ruo Lan, his heart had room for her alone. At that time, he devoted himself to studying hard, swearing to achieve the Palace Graduate status to give his fiancée a decent wedding, naturally not bothering with other matters.

Ruo Lan was somewhat skeptical; there was half a year’s time between their engagement and marriage, “Are you really sure you didn’t touch them during that half year?”

Ma Peng replied with certainty, “I really didn’t, you can ask my young servant if you don’t believe me. Ruo Lan, you have to believe me.”

Ruo Lan believed Ma Peng, not because she had faith in him, but because she was convinced no man would willingly wear the green hat, “Perhaps there has been a mistake.” But how could such a mistake occur?

After Ma Peng left, Ruo Lan summoned Cai Yun, “Go invite Nanny Liu over and tell her that I have something to ask her.” Her husband may not know about it, but Nanny Liu certainly did.
