Chapter 714 Ding Shi Falls Out of Favor!
Ding nodded tremblingly, not daring to say a word.
In fact, she really had no say in front of this princess.
Mu Changping looked at Ding Shi, then at his youngest daughter. How could his three-year-old daughter possibly push Ding Shi? Not to mention Ding Shi, even his other children would probably be too difficult for his youngest daughter to move.
“Ding, you think you can be disrespectful to your master just because you are pregnant. You deserve to be punished. Considering that you are pregnant, you will move to Heyuan to recuperate from now on. It is quiet there, and it will save you from always saying that someone bullied you or pushed you.”
Ms. Ding was completely stunned.
That Lotus Courtyard was the most remote part of the entire West Wing. To call it an independent courtyard would be less accurate than saying that it was completely neglected.
"Master, I will never do it again. Please forgive me. Master, Madam, I beg you, please forgive me this time for the sake of our unborn child."
Mu Xin Nuan had no intention of letting her off the hook.
Simply sending her to live in the Lotus Garden is already giving her a huge opportunity.
If it were based on her previous temper, she probably would have found a way to kick her out immediately.
The Mu family has always been a distinguished family. Although the second uncle has been somewhat disappointing, he has at least become much more restrained. After what happened back then, he no longer dares to be arrogant or ostentatious, and he certainly doesn't dare to accept any excessive gifts in private.
If Ding were to gossip again, it would ultimately damage the reputation of the entire Mu family.
“Mother, it’s getting late, let’s go back. Soon Aze will be carrying the child and looking for us everywhere.”
“That’s true. We’ve been out for a while now, let’s go back first. Sister-in-law, since you are the mistress of the west wing, you should act like a mistress as before. As for Ding Shi, I don’t care whether she lives in the lotus wing or not, she should just focus on her pregnancy and not wander around. If she causes another scene like this, who knows who will be the one to be wronged.”
This is a warning to Mu Changping.
Mu Changping was originally somewhat soft-hearted, but after being reprimanded by his sister-in-law, he immediately gave up on the idea.
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. Don't worry, she will definitely not dare to do it again."
"It's good to hear your second brother say that. Alright, Anuan, let's go back first. Sister-in-law, have someone apply some medicine to Miao'er. The child will probably be even more restless at night."
"Yes, sister-in-law. I'll see you off."
After Jin saw Mu Xinnuan and her daughter out, Mu Changping slapped Ding Shi in the face in the main room.
With his sister-in-law and Mu Xinnuan present, Mu Changping was somewhat considerate of the second branch of the family's reputation. But now that they were gone, Mu Changping's anger naturally dissipated.
"My lord, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again."
"I used to think you were a sensible person, but I never imagined you'd be so utterly useless behind my back! How can you be so short-sighted? Hmm? Miao'er is so young, how could she possibly be a problem for you? Back then, it was just that Madam took pity on this child, and since she had no daughters of her own, she adopted her as her legitimate daughter. And you, seeing how good their mother-daughter relationship is, you have to find something to cause me trouble for no reason, don't you?"
"My lord, I wouldn't dare!"
"Hmph! You still don't dare? Is there anything in this world you wouldn't dare to do? Ding, I underestimated you before!"
As Mu Changping spoke, he flicked his sleeves, too lazy to look at her anymore, and walked straight out.
"Master, please spare this concubine."
As soon as Mu Changping reached the corridor, he saw Jin Shi carrying Mu Xinmiao back. He glanced at his wife, then looked away, feeling slightly guilty.
"You must take good care of Miao'er. She's a young lady, and she can't afford to develop any more health problems. Also, you've been handling everything in the backyard. Make sure she moves to the Lotus Courtyard as soon as possible, so this place doesn't become such a mess."
"Yes, sir," Madam Jin replied politely.
Mu Changping smugly hummed at Jin's current gentle and submissive demeanor, then walked to the front with his hands behind his back.
Jin had been married to Mu Changping for a long time, so she naturally knew what kind of person he was.
Therefore, they directly sent people to move Ding Shi, along with her belongings, to Heyuan.
Ding was unhappy about moving to Heyuan.
"No matter what, I am half a master, and I am pregnant with the master's child. How dare you treat me like this? Is this a place for a human being to live?"
Looking at the extremely simple furnishings in the room, Ding was naturally unhappy.
She was favored earlier, or more accurately, ever since she entered the Mu family, she had always been favored and had never suffered such grievances.
"Auntie, please calm down. Right now, the most important thing is to take good care of yourself. The baby in your belly is the most important thing."
That being said, how could Ding's anger be extinguished so easily?
Looking around, she saw that everything was simple and shabby, even the dressing table looked old. She angrily said, "Didn't you say you were going to move all my things here? Where are my things? My jewelry and clothes, where is they?"
"Reporting to Madam, you have several pieces of clothing in the closet. There aren't many, really. Madam instructed that since you are pregnant now, you will naturally need to have new clothes made later, and the previous ones are probably no longer wearable. Therefore, they were all given to the servants as rewards."
The head maid of the backyard also came over. She was Jin's dowry maid, so her words carried more weight in the mansion than others.
"Hmph! Where are the jewelry?"
“You are pregnant now, and gold and silver items are too precious. Firstly, we are afraid that you will not be able to suppress the preciousness, and secondly, carrying these things will also diminish the good fortune of the child in your womb. Therefore, you should not wear these things for the time being.”
"What did you say? You've gone too far! That was a gift from the master!"
The old woman raised her chin. "Oh, look at what you're saying, Madam. You said it yourself, it was a gift from the master. Now that the master is unhappy, the madam is just temporarily putting the things away in the storeroom. What are you dissatisfied with? If you feel that the madam has bullied you, you can go to the master and complain again."
These words struck Ding's heart directly.
She has just fallen out of favor, and it's uncertain whether she'll even have the chance to see the master again in the future, so what's the point of complaining?
Besides, the nanny mentioned the word "complaint," which was clearly a sarcastic remark that her past influence through her husband's pillow talk was no longer effective!
Ding gritted her teeth and muttered, "You just wait! You'll see what happens when I give birth to a son."
