"Miss...Miss..." Xia Zhu looked at Song Qingwan who suddenly appeared and lowered her head nervously.

Song Qingwan shook off Xia Zhu's wrist with force, and Xia Zhu staggered and sat on the ground.

"I think it's a waste of your talent to serve mother here, Sister Xia Zhu. You should be promoted to be a concubine to suit your status."

Xia Zhu sat on the ground, his expression flustered, no longer as arrogant as before.

After all, Song Qingwan's identity was there, so she didn't dare to be disrespectful to the eldest lady blatantly.

"Chun Ya, take the things in and tell mother what happened here truthfully."

"Yes, Miss!" Chunya straightened her back, snorted proudly at Xia Zhu, and quickly walked into the inner courtyard.

"Miss...Miss...Xia Zhu just spoke out of turn, please forgive me."

Xia Zhu knelt on the ground and banged his head on the ground in fear.

"Xia Zhu, how long have you been following your mother?"

Song Qingwan stood still slowly, and without telling Xia Zhu to stand up, she just let her kneel.

"My lady, I have been following you for thirteen years."

"Well, it's been hard work indeed. Have you ever thought about going one step further and making a name for yourself?"

"Miss, Miss, I dare not"

I don’t dare, not that I don’t want to, haha.

Song Qingwan's expression remained calm. She simply squatted on the ground and suddenly moved her face closer to Xia Zhu.

"It's normal for Sister Xia Zhu to have such thoughts. After all, who doesn't want to move up? Sister Xia Zhu is so beautiful, how can she be willing to be a servant for the rest of her life?"

"Miss...Miss..." Xia Zhu's face turned red and her eyes became more flustered after her secrets were exposed.

"Don't worry, Sister Xia Zhu, I won't tell anyone. It's just that only a tolerant and generous mistress would treat a concubine well. What do you think?"

Song Qingwan stopped there. She believed that Xia Zhu was a smart person and would definitely understand what she meant.

"Miss, what you mean is..."

"Don't tell anyone about your mother's change of food, and don't let anyone know about the medicine she takes on a daily basis."

"Xia Zhu understands, please rest assured, Miss."

Song Qingwan nodded with satisfaction. This was just a temporary solution.

My mother’s illness hasn’t fully recovered yet. If anyone finds out that her health has improved, they might find other ways to harm her.

She just grabbed Xia Zhu's wrist, and Xia Zhu's pulse was beating, clearly a pulse of happiness.

It was probably because Song Chengfeng promised her something, so she dared to be so arrogant.

She just wanted Xia Zhu to understand that if her mother was gone, Jiang Jingshu might not be able to accommodate her when she took over.

But whether Xia Zhu, the concubine, can succeed is not certain.

At this time, after listening to Chunya's report, Pang also came to the gate of the courtyard and wanted to use family rules to punish Xia Zhu for his disrespect on the spot.

"Mother, Sister Xia Zhu has already admitted her mistake. Please forgive her this time."

"Madam, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Xia Zhu's face turned pale with fright. If she were to use family rules, she would not be able to hide the fact that she was pregnant.

"Just listen to Wan'er. I'll punish you by sweeping the outer courtyard."

"Mrs. Xie, Miss Xie."

Xia Zhu crawled to the outer courtyard, fearing that his master would change his mind again.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

"I have no more blood in my lower body recently, and I feel a lot lighter, Wan'er, it's all thanks to you."

Pang Shi's face has become much rosier, and it can be seen that the medicine is working.

"Mother, you still need to take good care of your body. Has father come to see you?"

"Your father...ah..." Pang Shi shook her head helplessly. With her current health, Song Chengfeng didn't want to come to her at all.

Song Qingwan understood that Pang Shi probably couldn't have sex with her in her current condition. Song Chengfeng was in his prime, so how could he endure it?

That's how Jiang Jingshu and Xia Zhu got pregnant, haha, what a scumbag.

With Pang's intelligence, she must have known about Xia Zhu and Song Chengfeng's affair a long time ago, but she could only turn a blind eye and remain silent.

For the past ten years, Pang Shi has been living a life of a widow, and Song Qingwan felt a little distressed for her, as Pang Shi was only in her early thirties.

Song Qingwan didn't ask any more questions. She walked back with Chunya. As they just walked out of the yard, they suddenly found a piece of clothes in the grass beside them.

"Who? Who is there?" Song Qingwan asked loudly.

Chunya took a quick step over and grabbed the man out.

"Miss...I just happened to pass by here..."

Song Qingwan recognized that this was Ruyun, the maidservant beside Song Yunshuang.

"What a coincidence? Madam is in the main courtyard, and your second daughter is in the side courtyard to the south. How could you pass by here?"

Chunya immediately saw through her trick. Even she couldn't be fooled by this trick.

Seeing that she couldn't argue anymore, Ruyun could only kneel on the ground trembling.

"Chun Ya, let her go."

"Miss..." Chunya was a little puzzled. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the heat.

However, Song Qingwan shook her head and signaled Chunya to let the man go.

"Thank you, Miss!" Ruyun felt as if she had been pardoned and ran back to the South Courtyard like a gust of wind.

Only after returning to her own yard did Song Qingwan explain to Chunya.

This Ruyun was obviously sent by Song Yunshuang. If Ruyun was punished today, it would alert the enemy.

"Then Miss, will you let the Second Miss do this?"

"Of course not. I have a plan for your lady."

Song Qingwan smiled slightly. Now her space came in handy.

Song Qingwan always felt that there was something wrong with Song Yunshuang, as if her shadow was everywhere.

On the first day she returned home, Song Yunshuang came to inquire about the truth. Now what happened in her mother's room was also her fault, which made Song Qingwan suspicious.

This Song Yunshuang is definitely not simple!

At night, Song Qingwan asked Chunya to look after the house, and she walked out of the yard alone.

Song Qingwan tiptoed all the way to Song Yunshuang's yard. When she reached the outside of Song Yunshuang's house, several guards were about to discover her, but Song Qingwan flashed into the space.

"Eh? Did you see anyone just now?"

"It seems like there was someone there, why is he gone?"

"It's probably a shadow. Let's go over there and take a look."

"it is good"

The two guards slowly walked away, and Song Qingwan covered her mouth and laughed secretly in the space.

She came out of the space, lay down outside Song Yunshuang's door, and began to eavesdrop.

It wasn't that she had to come out of the space, but the noise in the house was not loud and she couldn't hear clearly in the space, so she had to take the risk and come out.

"Xia Zhu, how is the thing I asked you to do going?" This was Song Yunshuang's voice.

"In reply to Miss, I followed your instructions and gave you a heavier dose of the medicine that Master gave you."

"Well, you did a good job. If it was just relying on the poison my father had given me, I'm afraid Pang Shi would have lived ten more years."

Song Yunshuang's tone was somewhat light, and she seemed very satisfied.

"But...Miss, you are not yet old enough to discuss marriage. If Madam..." Xia Zhu's tone sounded a little worried.

"Humph! Just let her live for three years. By then I will be married and my mother will be the wife of the Prime Minister."

"Can…"

"Don't worry, you will get benefits when the time comes. When my mother becomes the principal wife, she will marry you off to a good family."

Song Qingwan sneered in her heart, thinking that Song Yunshuang might not know Xia Zhu's ambition!

Song Qingwan was listening attentively when suddenly someone covered her mouth and her body flew into the air. She wanted to enter the space but didn't dare to, so she could only let the owner of the hand take her away.
