Chapter 1135 - 1137: Calling the Midwife_1
As soon as Madam Huang finished speaking, Madam Zhou could hardly wait to jump out. It must be said, Madam Zhou always put Principal Clerk Zhou’s interests first, just like now, she never forgets to suppress his obstacle, Ye Zi’an.
And that Madam Huang, what she said seemed quite reasonable, is this the so-called legend where if she’s not doing well, she must drag others down to be just as miserable?
"Madam Ye..."
"Madam Ye..."
Seeing that she did not speak but kept staring at her, both Madam Zhou and Madam Huang felt somewhat uneasy. This young wife of the County Magistrate seemed to always carry a strong aura.
"Madam Zhou!" Yang Chuxia put down her teacup and spoke slowly, "Was it Cao Lingling who told you that she and my husband had consummated their marriage?"
Madam Zhou, without much thought, nodded directly, "Yes!"
"Very well!" Yang Chuxia asked again, "But have you personally seen Cao Lingling with my husband together?"
Madam Zhou’s face changed slightly, "Madam Ye, please don’t speak nonsense. How could I possibly witness such private matters?"
"Oh, it’s true you couldn’t see, after all, your household has a young and beautiful concubine, so it’s normal for Lord Zhou not to rest with you." Her words caused Madam Zhou’s anger to rise rapidly, almost making her forget why she came.
However, before she could speak, Yang Chuxia continued, "Since Madam Zhou has not personally seen it, how can you say what happened between this lady and my husband? One should not speak carelessly about things one has not witnessed with their own eyes. If everyone were like you, could I also say that Cao Lingling has something going on with your Principal Clerk Zhou?"
This statement made both Madam Zhou and Cao Lingling’s faces change dramatically. Observing Cao Lingling, Yang Chuxia was surprised for a moment. What kind of expression was that just now, disgust? Why would she feel disgusted? Suddenly, Yang Chuxia had a revelation; when she just mentioned her and Principal Clerk Zhou, was she disgusted? Cao Lingling went out last night and came with Madam Zhou this morning, could it be that matter?
With that in mind, Yang Chuxia felt she had a plan and called Ming Liu over to say a few words.
"Madam Ye, you must not speak recklessly. How could this woman have anything to do with my family?" After pausing, Madam Zhou quickly added, "Besides, even if she were involved with my Principal Clerk, she would come looking for my household, so why did she say it was Lord Ye? Even though I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, whether or not what Miss Cao says is true can be verified by bringing in a midwife."
After she finished speaking, she even gave Cao Lingling a meaningful look.
Cao Lingling understood immediately and rushed forward to kneel before Yang Chuxia, knocking her head on the floor as she spoke, "Madam, I beg you to show mercy and allow me to enter the residence. The young master and I truly, truly have a relationship. Rest assured, if you’re afraid I’ll steal the young master’s affection, I promise to behave and not compete with you once I’m inside."
"Haha, I must say, Cao Lingling, people can be shameless, but to be shameless to your extent is utterly revolting."
With that said, Yang Chuxia was too tired to listen anymore, "You are dirty yourself, don’t smear it on my child’s father. He’s such a man; you’ve tainted him, and you can’t afford it. Last night, you ran out of the residence during the 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. timeframe, didn’t you? Before running out, you met the young master in the front courtyard, right? At that time, the young master was accompanied by Li Wu, as well as the guard Ye Er. Could the young master have possibly done anything to you in front of those two men? But saying all this now, Madam Zhou and Madam Huang probably won’t believe it, so let’s go ahead and bring in the midwife."
