Next to "Madam Zheng" sat an old lady dressed in luxurious clothes. Pei Yi recognized that the hairpin on the old lady's head belonged to his mother. He had seen his mother wear it once, and after his mother passed away, she left it to his eldest sister as a dowry.

A lady suddenly asked the old lady, "Madam Zheng, I heard that your master still has no legitimate son?"

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, the corners of her mouth visibly raised.

Someone then asked Madam Zheng, "Yes, your daughter-in-law from Prince Yan's Mansion hasn't gotten pregnant with a boy yet?"

"It's been a while since she gave birth to the eldest daughter, right? The eldest daughter is already six years old now. If she can't get pregnant again, it will be even more difficult in the future."

"I got a secret recipe here. My wife refused to drink it at first, but I forced her to drink a few bowls. This spring, she gave birth to a big fat boy. If you need it, I'll go home and find the recipe and have someone send it to you."

Madam Zheng also pretended to be sad and said, "That's right. Every year I go to the temple with my mother-in-law to pray to Guanyin for my sister. I don't know how much money I've spent on incense and incense. I've also tried folk remedies, but my sister just can't get pregnant. The eldest master is also worried now."

Madam Zheng then took Madam Zheng's hand and said, "Luckily, Sister Bao gave birth to a big brother for our Zheng family. He is our flesh and blood. If we train him well in the future, he will bring honor to our family. If it is for the sake of reputation, it is just a name registered under her name. He will also be the legitimate son of our Zheng family in the future."

Pei Jingshu sneered when she heard this under the eaves. She naturally understood what "it's just a name registered under her name" meant - it meant that she would only be registered under her name in the family tree and kept in Aunt Bao's courtyard.

Xie Zhichan secretly took Pei Jingshu's pulse. When Pei Yi saw her movements, he stared at Xie Zhichan waiting for her answer.

After a moment, seeing Xie Zhichan shaking his head at him solemnly, he understood what he meant. His elder sister really couldn't get pregnant.

My eldest sister's birth of Miaomiao was obviously very smooth, and her body recovered quickly after giving birth. But why can't she get pregnant now?

Someone must have tampered with this!

Pei Yi clenched his teeth, and a chilling aura emanated from his body, which could be felt within a hundred meters.

That "Mrs. Zheng" is Aunt Bao.

Aunt Bao suddenly felt a chill on her body. She also saw Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi. Seeing that they came with Pei Jingshu, she immediately showed a mocking look on her face and said to Pei Jingshu, "Didn't the master ask you to receive the guests at the door? The guests haven't arrived yet, why are you here at this time?"

Madam Zheng, who was sitting next to her, frowned when she saw Pei Jingshu coming over and asked, "Why are you here?"

Pei Jingshu just smiled faintly and said, "I brought two guests here to pay respects to mother."

Aunt Bao then said, "What guests? Sister, don't let these little-known people ruin the master's business."

Madam Zheng was immediately displeased and rebuked in a cold voice: "Since your guests have come, let Aunt Bao receive them for you. Go to the door first to greet the guests before coming over."

After hearing this, Pei Yi felt more pressured.

But he did not reveal his identity immediately. He wanted to see how the people in the Zheng family would bully his elder sister without anyone from the Prince of Yan's Mansion around.

Pei Jingshu did not follow Madam Zheng's instructions, but looked at her and asked, "Mother, what did you mean by letting the eldest brother be registered under my name? Are you saying that the eldest brother should be raised in my courtyard?"

Madam Zheng's face darkened, and her meaning was very clear. She said, "My eldest brother is still young, how can you separate him from Sister Bao and her son? After all, he is registered under your name and is your legitimate son. He will bring honor to the family in the future and you will raise him with honor. What are you worried about?"

Pei Jingshu walked from under the eaves to the courtyard beside the lotus pond, smiled lightly, and said, "Over the years, the Zheng family has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and has had less contact with the capital. Maybe you forgot that I am the eldest daughter of the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Do I need a bastard from your Zheng Mansion to support me?"

Madam Zheng's face suddenly became very ugly.

When Aunt Bao saw Madam Zheng's expression, she immediately took over her role as her mouthpiece and replied arrogantly, "Sister, please don't say such harsh words. When you married the master, you were indeed marrying down, but wasn't it because you liked the master that you agreed to the marriage? Why do you have to use your status to suppress the old lady now?"

Pei Jingshu looked at Aunt Bao with a cold face, then looked at Old Madam Zheng: "Just because I was blind back then doesn't mean I will always be blind."

This made both Old Madam Zheng and Aunt Bao look very unhappy.

The women sitting around were also very embarrassed and didn't know how to smooth things over.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of Prince Yan's Mansion, so it is better not to offend her easily.

At this moment, suddenly a group of maids and servants on the other side of the lotus pond could be heard in a panic, shouting: "Oh no! The young master has fallen into the water! Someone, come and save him!"

A few more "splash" sounds were heard, and several servants in Zheng's mansion who could swim jumped in.

The ladies here also looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy about five or six years old struggling in the lotus pond. He was none other than Aunt Bao's eldest son.

When Aunt Bao saw her son fall into the water, she turned pale with fright, but she couldn't swim, so she immediately turned over and ran to the other side with the embroidered cushion.

When Old Madam Zheng realized who the child was who fell into the water, she was so frightened that her legs and feet went limp and she almost fainted. Several maids and old women supported her and followed her to the other side.

Xie Zhichan saw that the child was dying and his whole body was sinking into the water. Her martial arts skills had greatly improved under Pei Yi's close guidance. She immediately flew to the lake, passed the place where the child fell into the water, scooped the child into the water, and flew to the shore with the child between her legs.

The servants of the Zheng residence who had jumped into the water had only swam half the distance when they saw that the eldest young master had been saved, and they all swam towards the shore.

When Pei Yi saw Xie Zhichan flying away, he also followed her and flew over.

Although Pei Jingshu was born in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, she didn't know kung fu like Pei Jingyu, so she walked quickly along the long corridor to the other side.

Xie Zhichan reached the shore, put the eldest son of the Zheng family on the ground, and quickly checked his mouth and nose. Seeing that there was no foreign object blocking his airway, he pinched his nose, lifted his chin slightly, took a breath, and lowered his head.

His lips were pressed against a large palm.

Xie Zhichan looked up and saw that it was Pei Yi, and asked anxiously: "What are you doing? I'm saving people."

Pei Yi's face darkened as he said, "I know. Tell me what to do and I'll save you."

Seeing Pei Yi's determined expression, Xie Zhichan thought to himself that the ancient concept of strict separation between men and women was really perverted, and even children of a few years old had to be taken into consideration.

Not wanting to waste time arguing with Pei Yi, Xie Zhichan immediately gave up his seat to Pei Yi and said to him, "Pinch his nose and lift his chin slightly. At the same time, open his mouth and take a normal breath. Then put your lips on his lips to form a seal. Blow air steadily for about one beat until his chest rises. Keeping his chin lifted, move your mouth away and watch his chest fall. Repeat for the second time. Both breaths should be completed within five beats."
