Chapter 249 -98: Lady Cheng Leaves Beijing_4

Ruo Lan did not beat around the bush but directly asked what was really going on, “Nanny Liu, I didn’t even know that the maid by my husband’s side was pregnant. As the lady of the house, I truly have been negligent.”

At this, Nanny Liu felt her heart sink. Such a secretive matter, how did the young lady come to know of it? “Young lady, this must be a misunderstanding. Both maids are well and not pregnant at the manor. I don’t know who has been spreading these slanderous rumors to frame the young master. You mustn’t be deceived by these people.” Nanny Liu kept a tight watch on the two maids; there was no way she would allow them to get pregnant before the Eldest Young Madam had even entered the house. That would be a slap to her own face.

Seeing Nanny Liu’s expression, Ruo Lan sneered, “I already know everything. Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

Upon seeing Ruo Lan’s expression, Nanny Liu hesitated for a moment and then replied, “As the young lady knows, the Former Lady passed away a while ago.”

Nanny Liu started from the many troubles Ma Peng faced during his childhood, recounting how, over the years, Lady Cheng had overtly and covertly placed countless obstacles to harm Ma Peng. After talking for quite some time, she finally mentioned the incident in the garden that occurred before last year’s provincial exam, then the Eldest Young Master’s top scoring and betrothal, and how Lady Cheng had again started causing trouble, “Young lady, it was Madam who urged Chu Liu to stop drinking the Contraceptive Soup, but I discovered it.” However, Nanny Liu was unaware that ever since the engagement, Ma Peng had not touched either of the maids, yet neither had become pregnant.

Something caught in Ruo Lan’s heart, and she hoped Ma Peng had not lied to her. Even if this child was truly her husband’s, it would be better than if her husband had lied to her. A maid getting pregnant was just a lack of precautions and could be dealt with, but if her husband were lying, it would reflect a lack of character, “Then why did the maid end up pregnant after all?”

A fierce look flashed in Nanny Liu’s eyes, “That maid is not pregnant. I found a drug that makes one appear pregnant and had her take it. I just wanted the Old Master to see clearly the malicious intentions of Madam, so that she could no longer continue to harm the young master.”

Ruo Lan breathed a sigh of relief. That was good, the maid not being pregnant meant her husband’s words were true, “So, sending Granny Liu back to her hometown was also your idea?” Ruo Lan instinctively didn’t believe Nanny Liu’s words, simply because she didn’t believe Nanny Liu had the influence to persuade her father-in-law. After all, a steward mother and the lady of the house were not on the same level.

After hesitating for a moment, Nanny Liu said, “I spoke those words to the Old Master, but the suggestion wasn’t mine; it was Cousin Miss’s. The Old Master adores Cousin Miss, and when he heard that it was her idea from me, he did not object.”

Ruo Lan was quite surprised, “You mean this was Yueyao’s idea?”

Nanny Liu nodded, “Yes, it was Cousin Miss who initially thwarted Madam’s schemes. The Old Master knew of my irreconcilable differences with Madam, and had it not been for Cousin Miss’s testimony, he wouldn’t have believed that Madam could have plotted against the Eldest Young Master; Additionally, it was then that Cousin Miss suggested that the Old Master shouldn’t stress the young master too much. On Cousin Miss’s suggestion, the Old Master took the young master out just before the exam, which made the young master very relaxed during the exam, and he performed exceptionally well and succeeded.” Granny Liu, serving Ma Peng’s meals, was most familiar with Ma Peng’s mental state.

Granny Liu was truly grateful to Yueyao; without Yueyao’s help, who knew what would have become of the young master? Thus, she told the young lady all these things.

Ruo Lan curiously asked, “What kind of person is Cheng Lizi?” Every woman is curious, especially about a woman who fancies her own husband.

Nanny Liu showed disgust, “In the mansion, she pretends to be virtuous, but I know it’s all an act. Miss Cheng is vulgar at heart. I’ve heard she’s killed several maids before. Comparing the young lady to her is like comparing mud to the clouds.” This was also Granny Liu’s heartfelt truth; Cheng Lizi wasn’t even comparable to the toenails of her young lady.

Every woman likes to be flattered, and Ruo Lan felt very pleased by Granny Liu’s words, naturally no longer dwelling on this Cheng Lizi matter, smiling as she said, “I understand everything now.” Yueyao has done so much for her husband, no wonder both her father-in-law and husband cherished her so.

After Granny Liu left, Cai Yun whispered, “I didn’t expect Cousin Miss to get involved in the internal affairs of the Ma Family.” Cai Yun was worried that Yueyao might interfere more with matters at Ma’s Mansion later on.

Ruo Lan shook her head, “No, this girl is clever and wouldn’t act inappropriately. She probably just intervened because she couldn’t stand by idly and watch. Regardless, a couple is a unit, and Yueyao showing kindness to her husband is also showing kindness to me. I should simply be good to this little cousin from now on.”
