Chapter 38 You are bringing disgrace to the imperial court
upstairs room
"Mammy, I've finished tidying it up. I'll go down and ask the prince's concubine to come up."
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful, I don't know what the noisy people down there are doing."
"I'll go with you. I just heard that someone downstairs wants to take over our room." Qiuju said as she put a basin of water on the shelf.
"Who is so bold as to snatch the room from us? Let's go and take a look." Chuntao was quite curious about who was so bold.
When they reached the stairs, they saw a lot of people standing there.
A woman whose beauty was greatly reduced by her arrogance and domineering attitude was still clamoring to change rooms.
An old lady with hair full of pearls and jade was also shouting, "My son is going to Beijing to take up a position as a third-rank official. There must be someone who will swap with us. Shopkeeper, go find someone to come down."
"Mom, my wife just went to see it, and Room B is pretty good. Why don't we stay in Room B?"
A middle-aged woman advised gently.
Fu Hongshan also felt that they couldn't be allowed to make such a fuss any longer, so he made the decision: "Boss, we want Room B, five Room Bs and ten Room Cs."
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed at this moment, "Sir, the room number C is sold out. We only have the big bunk number D."
"Okay, okay, then we need four large bunk beds."
The old lady was unhappy again. She slammed the table and yelled, "You are going too far. Give us the worst."
"The old lady is really gone. There are more customers today."
"Are you looking down on us? Ask someone to change it for us."
"Shut up, and get out if you don't want to live here." Fu Hongshan was so annoyed by their noise that he shouted. It would be fine if they just made a scene at home, but now they are making a scene outside. Don't they feel ashamed?
"Miss, look."
The maidservant beside Fu Yan'er saw Chuntao and Qiuju coming downstairs, and signaled to her mistress that someone was coming downstairs.
"Go and ask."
"Yes"
The maid walked over and stopped the two of them, and said arrogantly: "Are you living in Room A? We will switch with you. Our master is a third-rank Guanglu Temple Minister."
Fu Hongshan also saw this scene, but he did not stop it. He also wanted to see if anyone would trade with him.
Chun Tao chuckled, but her words made everyone who was listening nearby very angry. "The Minister of the Imperial Household seems to be a third-rank official! We are about to arrive in the capital, I advise you to be more restrained."
After saying this, he didn't care about their expressions, walked around the maid, and went towards King Xuan and others in the corner.
As soon as Chuntao finished speaking, Fu Hongshan realized that these two people might be from an important background, and immediately winked at the servant beside him. The servant was also smart. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the little maid who was about to speak, and apologized to the two people from behind: "I'm sorry, sisters, we are rude."
The little maid didn't understand the current situation, but she knew that this person was someone close to the master, so she didn't dare to say anything.
However, Fu Yan'er didn't care about that. She walked over and slapped the servant, "You little dog slave, do you have the right to talk here?"
Xiao Si didn't dare to say a word after being beaten and could only lower his head.
At this time, Prince Xuan also came over with Shen Jingyi, preparing to go upstairs. When passing by the group of people, Fu Hongshan recognized them, "Prince Xuan...Greetings to the prince."
Fu Hongshan's loud shout startled everyone, and they all bowed. Only Fu Yan'er was still staring at King Xuan in a daze, with an infatuated look on her face.
It was not until her mother pulled her that she reacted and bowed shyly.
This act made Shen Jingyi feel sick.
King Xuan didn't like it either, so he said very disrespectfully: "Master Fu, the mission is important, but you still have to teach your family members when you have time. You are so arrogant and domineering, and you are bullying others. You are bringing shame to the court."
Fu Hongshan was so angry that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly assured, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will control my family members in the future and will not let them do anything wrong again."
King Xuan said "hmm".
Then he said, "Everyone, get up."
Then he turned around and took Shen Jingyi upstairs.
Wang Xiaorong looked at Shen Jingyi's back, feeling a little uneasy and guilty. She didn't expect this girl to be so lucky. She wondered if she had seen her just now. She thought she should not go out again tonight.
So she pulled the person next to her and said, "Husband, I feel a little uncomfortable."
The man was Fu Hongshan's eldest son, Fu Mingyu. He immediately became nervous when he heard his wife said she was not feeling well. "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Why don't you go to the clinic?"
"No, I just feel a little dizzy, I just need to rest for a while."
"Okay, let's go back to the room, waiter lead the way."
"Yes, yes, guests, please come this way." The waiter quickly and enthusiastically led them upstairs.
But the old lady became active again, no longer showing the cowardly look she had just shown when she saw King Xuan.
"Humph, you are so hypocritical. You are the only one who has too many things to do."
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Fu Mingyu again and said, "Grandson, your wife has been married for a year, and she's still not pregnant. How about giving Xiao Cui to you? Xiao Cui looks like she's going to be easy to give birth to."
Fu Mingyu interrupted the old lady helplessly: "Grandma, my grandson doesn't like Xiao Cui."
"I don't like Xiao Cui, but what about Xiao Lu? She's not bad either."
"I don't like it either. Okay, grandma, please stop talking. I like my own daughter-in-law."
Fu Hongshan also felt that it was inappropriate for her mother to say this in front of her daughter-in-law, so she quickly said, "Mom, let's go quickly. The waiter is still waiting. What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it for you later."
As he said this, he half-dragged and half-coaxed the old lady away.
Fu Yan'er also pulled her mother to catch up, she had something to say.
After everyone left, Fu Mingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around, took Wang Xiaorong's hand and said, "Don't take grandma's words to heart. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I don't want anyone else but you."
Wang Xiaorong smiled sweetly after hearing this and said gently, "I have always believed in you."
She knew that as long as Fu Mingyu's heart was with her, they could not do anything evil.
Fu Mingyu supported her and slowly followed the crowd.
She didn't expect that she was pretending to be dizzy at first, but after she went back to her room and rested for a while, her head started to spin and her stomach started to churn. She couldn't even eat and felt like vomiting when she smelled any meat.
Fu Mingyu was really shocked when he saw this scene, and hurried to find his mother.
After hearing about her daughter-in-law's condition, Mrs. Fu had a vague guess in her heart, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. She shouted excitedly: "Yingchun, go and ask a doctor to take a look at the young lady!"
"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."
Yingchun hurried out of the room.
Fu Mingyu looked at the smile on his mother's face and felt unhappy. He said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, Rongrong is sick, how can you still smile?"
Mrs. Fu did not rush to explain, but responded gently: "Silly boy, when the doctor comes, you will understand."
"Well, son, go back to your room and stay with Rongrong first."
"Let's go. Mom will go with you."
After a careful diagnosis by the doctor, it was finally confirmed that Wang Xiaorong had been pregnant for more than two months.
This news made the entire Fu family excited. The old lady was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. She said that it was the blessing of her ancestors that the Fu family would finally have descendants.
