In order to save face, Zhang prepared a very sumptuous meal today, which tasted delicious.

An Qingqian ate happily, but the others were worried about what had just been said and hardly ate much.

When everyone was getting ready to leave, Zhang glanced at her son and Liu Yiyi.

"Liu is about to give birth, so she should live in her own yard. Everything will be more convenient after the baby is born." Zhang said, looking at An Qingqian again.

"Didn't you order someone to clean up the yard? Has it been several months and it still hasn't been cleaned up?"

"Madam, Hibiscus Courtyard has been cleaned up a long time ago. The Marquis and Miss Liu already knew about this. If Miss Liu wants to live in it, she can move in at any time."

An Qingqian would not take the blame, she said casually.

"Now that Furong Courtyard has been cleaned up, and since Liu hasn't given birth yet, everything will be more convenient. Why don't we move into Furong Courtyard tomorrow?"

Zhang twisted the jade beads in her hand and gave the order directly.

"Mother, it's very convenient for Yi Yi to live in Mingde Courtyard. Besides, she has gotten used to living in Mingde Courtyard during this period. There are many rooms in Mingde Courtyard, so there is no need to move to Furong Courtyard, right?"

Xue Wanxian was pulled by Liu Yiyi's sleeve. He first glanced at Liu Yiyi, then looked up and refuted.

"What do you mean you don't need it? Women need a lot of things when giving birth, and some of them are things that men can't see and need to avoid. You are a man after all, so it's better for you to live separately."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi frowned and looked at Zhang. She didn't understand whether Zhang had planned this in advance or was instigated by some people.

No matter which one it is, she can't move out of Mingdeyuan.

Most of the people in Mingdeyuan are Xue Wanxian’s confidants and are trustworthy.

Once she went to Furong Courtyard, how could she feel at ease knowing that everyone in the courtyard, except her personal maid Xiaosang, was arranged by others?

"Madam, I'm about to give birth. Why don't we move to Furong Courtyard after the birth? If we move there now, the child and I may not be able to adapt to the new environment."

Seeing the old lady's firm attitude, Liu Yiyi had to speak up herself.

"She hasn't given birth yet, has she? Since you're so worried about the baby, you should start moving there now."

Zhang would give face to her son, but towards Liu Yiyi, there was no trace of pity or concern in her eyes, and even her tone became much colder.

Liu Yiyi stared at Zhang with wide eyes, very confused. She had even used the child as a shield, so why did Zhang still refuse to give in?

She will be the grandmother of the child in his belly, so why can't I see any expectation for this child in her?

This is her blood, Xue Wanxian's child!

Seeing Liu Yiyi's ugly expression, Zhang Qingsha suddenly felt relieved.

"That's right. Giving birth is a bloody and dirty thing. How can she give birth in Cousin Xian's yard? Of course, she should move out to another yard.

Besides, Cousin Xian is a marquis and a member of the imperial court, so he has to be more cautious. "

Zhang Qingsha spoke righteously, her words full of concern for Xue Wanxian and her consideration for him.

However, this statement only received the approval of Zhang. Liu Yiyi and Xue Wanxian turned their heads and glared at Zhang Qingsha at the same time.

Huang knew that this was a private matter of their mansion and did not want to get involved. Moreover, An Qingqian, as Xue Wanxian's wife, did not say anything, so she did not want to care even more.

Huang was shocked to see her daughter suddenly interrupting. She quickly pulled Zhang Qingsha behind her and ordered Aunt Qiu and Xiaofang to stop her from talking or she might get into trouble.

Xue Wanxian glanced at his cousin indifferently and said, "Cousin Qingsha, this is my family affair. Please don't interfere."

Xue Wanxian felt somewhat dissatisfied when he saw his mother's tone suddenly become tough.

He was very confused, why his mother disliked Liu Yiyi so much?

First, he forbade Liu Yiyi to come to Changshou Hall for dinner, and now he suddenly ordered her to move out of Mingde Courtyard with her big belly.

"Mother, Yi Yi's belly is already so big, there are enough rooms in Mingde Courtyard. Besides, the midwife and wet nurse I hired have already been placed in Mingde Courtyard, so there is no need to move around.

We will discuss this matter again after Yi Yi gives birth to the baby. For now, Furong Courtyard will be empty and someone will be ordered to clean it every day."

Xue Wanxian didn't know why his mother did this, but he could feel his mother's malice towards Liu Yiyi, and he cared about his mother.

However, he cared more about Liu Yiyi and the baby in Liu Yiyi's belly.

"Xian'er!" Zhang did not expect Xue Wanxian to refute her in public, and was stunned for a moment.

"Mother, it's late at night. I will take Yi Yi back to rest first." After Xue Wanxian finished speaking, he no longer cared about other people's expressions and took Liu Yi Yi away.

"Xian'er, you!" Zhang stared at her son's back in disbelief and stood there in a daze.

Seeing this, Huang quickly pulled Zhang Qingsha away.

The flower hall, which was bustling just a moment ago, was suddenly filled with only Zhang, Nanny Chen, and An Qingqian, the master and servant.

Glancing at Zhang, whose face turned purple with anger, An Qingqian sneered.

"Madam, the Marquis dotes on Miss Liu, and Miss Liu is pregnant with the Marquis's child. It's not a big deal to give way to her. She just lives in Mingde Courtyard. They are husband and wife, and there are no other concubines in the mansion, so it's normal for them to have a closer relationship."

An Qingqian curled her lips into a smile, turned her head to look at Zhang again, and emphasized her tone.

"Old Madam, don't you want your son to have a happy and harmonious marriage? Liu Yiyi is pregnant with your grandson, and he is the bloodline of the Marquisate. Aren't you happy?"

Zhang's eyes were blazing with anger as she stared at An Qingqian fiercely, "You don't need to worry about this matter."

"Of course I won't care. Old Madam, it's late at night. You should have a good rest. After all, you are old and can't work too hard. If you tire yourself out, how distressed will the Marquis be?"

An Qing's smile was gentle, but the irony in her words was extremely strong, and Zhang was very angry.

An Qingqian no longer cared about Zhang, who was trembling with anger, and turned around and left with her maid.

"They are all so heartless and ruthless!" After a long time, Zhang cursed in frustration.

She pointed at the gate of Changshou Hall, where two maids were standing on night watch. An Qingqian and the others had disappeared long ago, and not even their backs could be seen.

"Old lady, don't get sick from being angry about them." Nanny Chen patted Zhang's back gently to calm her down.
