Chapter 403 - 140: Keyue_2
Ma Chengteng, hearing that the latest rumor spreading through the estate was about his granddaughter’s fate being overly dominant and that she may bring bad luck to her parents, flew into a rage. He had the main instigator behind this rumor whipped twenty times and sold away, and others who spread the tales were also severely punished.
Cai Yun spoke of this matter to Zhuang Ruolan.
Zhuang Ruolan was very surprised. Not only did her father-in-law not believe the rumors, but he also severely punished the old servants of the estate. As far as Zhuang Ruolan knew, Ma Chengteng never interfered with matters of the Inner Courtyard, yet this time he erupted with such fury because of her daughter, she found it very strange.
Cai Yun shared her speculation, "Previously, Cousin Miss was rumored to have a harsh fate that enraged the Old Master, and I think this time must be the same."
Zhuang Ruolan relaxed in response, "As long as the Old Master doesn’t believe it, that’s good. Has it been found out who in the estate is spreading the rumors?
Cai Yun tucked in Zhuang Ruolan’s quilt, "Young lady, leave these matters to your servant. You need to focus on recovering now."
Zhuang Ruolan said no more.
Yueyao came to visit after her third bath following childbirth. When Yueyao arrived, the little girl was sleeping soundly. Watching the child sleep so sweetly, Yueyao asked with a smile, "Cousin-in-law, have you named the child yet?"
Ruo Lan shook her head, a smile on her face, "Your cousin still hasn’t come up with a satisfying name. He keeps proposing and rejecting them himself, I don’t know how long this will go on." Ma Peng had long stated that he would name their first child, and Ma Chengteng did not argue with him.
