Ch 716 - 720

Chapter 716: Half Two

"Mother!"        
   
Seeing this scene, Nan Hou Xiang's heart dropped. He had the feeling that his mother had inexplicably courted her own demise with this action.    

Madam Qu was stunned too. She didn't expect that this servant would be so fast that she would take the cup and drink almost all of the content in one gulp. The content inside should be fine if it was taken little by little but all at once was courting death.    

*cough* *cough*    

The servant kept on coughing blood and then fell to the ground.    

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!"    

It was chaos.    

Nan Shu Cheng watched as Madam Qu tried to defend herself and claimed that she was innocent while Concubine Su was crying, saying that Madam Qu wanted to harm her and her baby. The other concubines said nothing and merely watched from the side.    

Looking at his father's expression, Nan Hou Xiang knew that his father had lost his patience towards his mother.    

"I have been very patient with you." Nan Shu Cheng looked Madam Qu coldly. The expression within his eyes seemed as if he was looking at his enemies rather than his own lover who shared the same bed as him.    

"Starting from now, Concubine Mu and Concubine Yu will be the two in charge of the household. You should rest and don't play any other tricks."    

"Shu Cheng!" Madam Qu couldn't believe that he took her power in the household just like that.    

"Yes, we'll do our best." Both Concubine Mu and Concubine Yu quickly bowed. They felt that this was an unexpected windfall and might come with some annoying consequences. How much they felt that it would have been better for them to not be the one pointed by Nan Shu Cheng.    

"Let's go." Nan Shu Cheng took Concubine Su's hand and walked away.    

At this moment, Concubine Su suddenly turned and looked at Madam Qu. She revealed a mocking smile right towards Madam Qu before resuming her crying act as she walked away with Nan Shu Cheng.    

"Father, this…" Nan Hou Xiang wanted to speak for his mother, but he saw Nan Shu Cheng looked at him with a cold gaze.    

"You shouldn't interfere in this matter, Hou Xiang."    

"…Yes, Father."    

Gritting his teeth, Nan Hou Xiang could only watch as his father walked away with Concubine Su. He felt that his mother was wronged, but how could he do anything? His father didn't want to listen to him.    

If he pressed any further, he knew that his position would have been replaced by that unborn child.    

If the child that come out was a son…    

Nan Hou Xiang's eyes glinted with ruthlessness.    

"This is quite unexpected." Concubine Mu sighed as she thought about her responsibilities for the days to come. She passed a look at Madam Qu and recalled the time when Concubine Mei held the power for several days.    

At that time, Madam Qu was already very angry and caused trouble after troubles.    

'Trouble?'    

Since when she was afraid of trouble? Concubine Mu licked her lips. Since this meat had suddenly fell to her lap, she would make use of this time to take care of some annoying pests. At the same time, she had to find a way to toss this thing away from her when Madam Qu recovered.
