Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 398 Taking risks

The maid beside Su Ying immediately scolded, "How dare you! How dare you mock the Fourth Madam! You've got some nerve!"

Jiang Rourou, standing to the side, pretended to cover her mouth and said, "Oh, it's my older sister!"

She turned around and slapped her personal maid, "You dog of a servant, how dare you speak to my sister like that! Apologize to her right now!"

The maid felt extremely wronged, because what she had just said was instigated by her master, Jiang Rourou.

"I'm sorry, Fourth Madam. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me and don't hold it against me!"

Su Ying glanced at the maid, then at Jiang Rourou. She could see through what was going on. "Fine, from now on, when you're with Miss Jiang, learn to behave properly, or you'll drag down your master's standards!"

"Yes, yes, I will follow Fourth Madam's teachings!"

Jiang Rourou was initially pleased with herself for getting back at Su Ying, but upon closer reflection, she realized that Su Ying's words were a veiled insult, implying that Jiang Rourou lacked manners. What a jerk!

"Sister, why are you here all alone and not seeing Fourth Master?" Jiang Rourou tried to strike up a conversation.

Su Ying handed the rolled-up scroll to the maid, not really wanting to deal with it. "Fourth Master is too busy with business, and it's common for him to travel for work. I envy Young Master Xiao for being so free, he can spend more time with you!"

The implication is that Xiao Jiayang is an unemployed bum.

Even if Jiang Rourou was stupid, she could understand. She suppressed her anger and instead smiled sarcastically, "That won't do, sister. Do you know how easy it is for men to be seduced by the outside world? Then their minds won't be on you anymore. You have to keep a close eye on Fourth Master, lest you lose him. Where will you find a man with such good conditions then? Don't you think so, sister?"

Su Ying held a cup of hot tea and blew on the rose petals floating on top. "Men, if they're yours, they're yours. If they're not, you can't have them even if you tie them to your belt. It's good that Fourth Master is away on a business trip. No one will bother me anymore!"

The implication is that the Fourth Prince is too clingy and has too much personal charm.

These words were like a mockery directed at Jiang Rourou, making her blush with embarrassment.

Su Ying's gaze fell on her flat stomach, and Jiang Rourou quickly seized the opportunity to say, "Sister, we really are destined to be together. You got pregnant just a moment ago, and now I'm pregnant too. Maybe our children will even be good friends! But don't worry, I won't steal your thunder. Sister, you have to be strong. We're all family, no distinction between you and me. Grandpa only dotes on me because of Jiayang!"

puff!
Su Ying couldn't help but almost spit out the tea she had just swallowed. "Jiang Rourou, do you know what you're saying?"

Jiang Rourou finally couldn't keep up the act any longer and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, I know you're just jealous of me. Stop pretending you don't care, okay? Is it so hard to admit it?"

Su Ying rolled her eyes and said, "I can't be bothered with you!"

Then he stood up and said, "Let's go!"

"You think you can just leave like that? Not so easy!" Jiang Rourou, in a moment of impulsiveness, suddenly rushed forward, "I haven't finished speaking yet, you're not allowed to leave!"

"Jiang Rourou, get out of my way!"

Jiang Rourou had a sudden inspiration and sat down on the ground.

The scene was terrifying, and everyone gasped.

"Young Madam! Are you alright?" The personal maid immediately ran over.

Jiang Rourou clutched her lower abdomen, her face contorted in pain, groaning, "My stomach hurts so much..."

In the main hall, two or three private doctors were busy running around, followed by a bunch of nurses, making quite a scene. Meanwhile, Chen Wanru and Xiao Jiayang, having received the news, rushed over.

"How are you? Is the child alright?"

"What happened? How could I have fallen down like that?"

Xiao Jiayang and Chen Wanru asked the question at the same time.

Jiang Rourou pointed at Su Ying, "It was her, she pushed me, Jiayang, my stomach hurts so much, do you think our baby will just be gone like this? If that happens, I don't want to live anymore, ugh..."

Xiao Jiayang held her close, comforting her repeatedly, "No, our Xiao family's doctors are all miracle workers, they will definitely make sure you're alright!"

Then, she glared at Su Ying with a questioning look, "Fourth Madam, what exactly happened? Don't you owe us an explanation?"

Chen Wanru also stepped forward, "Yes, I heard you had a conflict with my Rou Rou, but even so, you can't be so ruthless! What if something happens to Rou Rou and the baby in her belly? What will we do? How will we explain to the old man? You must explain yourself clearly today!"

"It's Miss Jiang..."

Su Ying stopped her maid, a faint smile playing on her lips as she glanced at the two people questioning her. "She's the only one giving her testimony, so why do you say I pushed her? If that's the case, can't I just say she fell to the ground on her own?"

"I can testify that I saw it with my own eyes, it was the Fourth Madam who pushed the Young Madam!" Jiang Rourou's personal maid stood up tremblingly to testify under the coercion of her eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ying's personal maid followed suit, "In that case, I also saw with my own eyes that the young mistress fell to the ground by herself!"

One-on-one, a draw.

With the second and third wives present, Chen Wanru, while standing up for Jiang Rourou, also asserted her authority, saying, "Miss Su, what exactly is going on between you two? I know the old man dotes on you, and the fourth son dotes on you, but that doesn't give you a reason to be unreasonable and hurt others, does it?"

Su Ying shrugged. "What if I said that she deliberately framed me?"

Xiao Jiayang waved his hand, "Impossible, Rou Rou wouldn't be so stupid as to risk the lives of both her and her unborn child for this!"

Su Ying shrugged. "I wouldn't be stupid enough to push her in public. Even if it meant harming her and the baby in her belly, wouldn't it be better to hire someone to do it on a dark and stormy night?"

"This..." Xiao Jiayang was speechless.

Others were also whispering about the veracity of the story.

The doctor's examination results came back: "Madam, Young Master, please rest assured, the examination just now showed that Miss Jiang is fine, and the fetus is also perfectly normal!"

Before anyone could speak, Jiang Rourou jumped off the sofa. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That was such a hard hit, how could my child and I be alright? I'm asking you, is your art even any good? Are you some kind of charlatan? If it's no good, just find someone else. If you ruin my life and my child's, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Nonsense! How dare you talk nonsense to Dr. Huang and the others!" The old man had been there for a long time and had witnessed the whole scene. With a dignified growl, he silenced the entire room.

"Grandpa, it's Su Ying..."

"Shut up!" Old Master Xiao glared at Xiao Jiayang. "How dare you call Su Ying by her name? You have no manners whatsoever!"

Xiao Jiayang glanced at Chen Wanru for help, then was so frightened that he didn't know what to say.
