Chapter 758 Whose daughter is Shu Yan?
The noise in the side hall alarmed the palace maid again. She stared at the two people blankly, then looked at the broken bowl on the ground, and was so frightened that she dared not move.
Concubine Chang said to the palace maids, "You are not needed here, please leave!"
The maid walked away tactfully.
Concubine Chang picked up the handkerchief and was about to wipe Shu Yan's face, but Madam Shu pushed Concubine Chang away and deliberately said, "I am her mother. The Queen also said that she would let me enter the palace to serve Shu Ronghua for a few days. I must fulfill my responsibilities as a mother."
Concubine Chang was not angry this time. She lowered her voice and said, "Yangmei, I can explain what happened back then."
Madam Shu stared at Concubine Chang and said coldly, "Chang Mingxiu, you have entered the palace to be a queen, but you still want to get involved with him. What do you have to explain? Explain how disgusting and shameless you are, and explain how you stole someone else's husband."
Concubine Chang said coldly, "I was also forced to enter the palace. It was Empress Dowager Cheng who took a fancy to me and wanted me to win over the late emperor. I didn't want to enter the palace, but they forced me to enter. I could have been with the person I loved. My life in the palace was very tormenting and painful."
"Humph! You are suffering from grievances, but what about me? Who is the one you like, Shu Lang?" Madam Shu was furious. "I am his fiancée. We are engaged. Who are you? Even if you don't enter the palace, how can you say that he is the one you like?"
"Shu Lang loves me, not you. Even if you are engaged to him, it was arranged by your parents, not what he wanted." Concubine Chang said shamelessly, "People's emotions cannot be controlled."
Madam Shu thought she was shameless and raised her hand to slap her, but was stopped by Concubine Chang, "My identity is now the Concubine, do you still want to hit me?"
"If I tell everyone about your and Shu Lang's scandal, you will no longer be a concubine. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Mrs. Shu said.
"You won't say anything nonsense. If you wanted to say it, you would have said it long ago. Why wait until now? It's not good for you or your Yang family to destroy Shu Lang." Concubine Chang said in a deep voice: "Yang Mei, it doesn't matter what you love, hate, or feel. You have to learn to weigh the pros and cons. What is the most important thing now."
Mrs. Shu was also discouraged. If she could have made a fuss back then, she would have done so. Her family also knew that Shu Yan was not her daughter, but they still had to admit that she was the granddaughter of the Yang family.
At that time, she just felt it was unbelievable and couldn't believe it was true. They were so brave.
It was useless for her to cry and make a fuss. She could only hide and lick her wounds secretly. Later, she learned to take the initiative to marry concubines for Shulang. If one was not enough, she would have two, and if two were not enough, she would have four. She thought she could always make Shulang forget Chang Mingxiu.
"If you don't want to enter the palace, you can snatch other people's husbands and seduce other people's fiancés. Shu Lang and I were already engaged. Later, you entered the palace even though you knew that I was already married to him. Why did you give birth to an illegitimate child with her? You couldn't stand the loneliness, so you changed a man. Why did you come to destroy my happiness? I can't ask you or Shu Lang, but your daughter is with me. I want to avenge Shu Yan for all the grievances I have suffered from you..." Mrs. Shu practiced these words thousands of times, and she thought about them every day.
Concubine Chang only now realized that her daughter had been bullied by Madam Shu. She was so angry that her teeth were chattering, and her eyes were as big as copper bells, as if she wanted to eat someone: "You abused Yan'er?"
Madam Shu wanted to abuse her, but Shu Lang protected Shu Yan as if she were his own eyes, so she didn't dare to do anything to Shu Yan: "If you make life difficult for me, I will make life difficult for your daughter."
Concubine Chang angrily slapped Madam Shu in the face, "What did you do to her?"
Madam Shu was not convinced even after being beaten. She rushed towards Concubine Chang like a shrew, instantly messing up Concubine Chang's hair and tearing her clothes. "I have been feeding your daughter musk since she was a child, very small amounts, many times..."
Concubine Chang immediately understood, "You mean Yan'er can't possibly get pregnant."
"I thought she couldn't get pregnant, but I didn't expect she would be pregnant with the royal heir." Madam Shu had been harboring hatred for twenty years. Her husband had another woman in his heart and even hid her portrait in the study. She had endured it all her life. Did she have to endure it now?
With the support of the Queen, she is not afraid of being an abandoned concubine in the cold palace. So what if her son is a prince? She had an affair with a man outside and gave birth to a daughter. Such a woman should be thrown into a pig cage.
At this moment, Xie Yang's figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. They saw Madam Shu and Concubine Chang wrestling with each other. He stared at Concubine Chang coldly and had no intention of stepping forward to help.
Seeing this, Concubine Chang shouted, "Yang'er, quickly pull her away. Yan'er may not be pregnant, but the Queen and the Imperial Physician said that she is pregnant and in a coma..."
It was not until Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua appeared in front of them that Concubine Chang was stunned: "You..."
She had just looked outside and knew that there was no one there. In fact, Xie Shang and Xie Yang were hiding next door.
Xie Shang had Shu Lang brought to them. The guards had already controlled Shu Lang. At that time, he knew that the Queen and the Emperor had deliberately summoned them to the banquet.
He originally wanted to stop Yang Mei from entering the palace, but the moment the guards controlled him, he had a bad feeling.
Xie Shang asked coldly: "Whose daughter is Shu Yan?"
At this time, Madam Shu had already let go of Concubine Chang's hair and knelt on the ground, "Yan'er is of course my daughter."
She is not stupid. If she admits that Shu Yan is the bastard of Concubine Chang and Shu Lang, the entire Shu family will probably die.
Jiang Fenghua said directly: "Aoxue wake up Shuyan."
Aoxue didn't know what to do, but soon Shuyan woke up. When she saw her parents were there, as well as Concubine Chang, she asked, "Father, mother, why are you here? What happened?"
Concubine Chang stared at her daughter, but heard her calling another woman mother. Her heart ached and her lips trembled. She couldn't say the word "Yan'er". How should she explain it?
Xie Shang stared at Concubine Chang. "I have dismissed all the outsiders. I am listening to what is going on between the Concubine and Minister Shu. No matter how the Concubine explains, I hope she will not lie. Why did Minister Shu help Zhang Yurou to frame me? How did Shu Xue die? And what is the matter with the body skeleton in the dry well in the West Palace?"
Xie Yang also stared at his mother and then at Shu Lang. He was so afraid that his mother would admit that he was not his father's child, but the bastard of Shu Lang and her.
Just now he was controlled by the emperor. He had clearly guessed that Shu Lang and his mother had known each other for a long time. He wanted to stop his mother and Madam Shu from arguing, but in the end, he gave up. He knew that if he was not a prince, he would not even have the chance to compete for the throne. Even if Xie Shang was suspected of his background by the people of the world, he would just be a loser and an incompetent person.
