Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 38 The Concubine in the Duke's Mansion

Time quickly passed and a few months later, and Liu Hanqing's belly was already more than seven months pregnant.

It is worth mentioning here that two of the four maids serving Xiao Chen were also pregnant and had been promoted to concubines and arranged in the backyard.

Of course, Jiang Chunxi had already drugged Xiao Chen, so that he could only give birth to a daughter in the future.

Having too many sons would be worthless. In order to ensure the future status of the son in her belly, Xiao Chen would rather have just one son.

As for the baby in Liu Hanqing's belly.

Haha! That's a fate of early death, no need to take it seriously.

It is worth mentioning here that the child who died at birth in the original owner's previous life was a daughter. It was for this reason that Jiang Chunxi drugged Xiao Chen so decisively.

That night, when Jiang Chunxi was about to go to bed, Xichun hurriedly walked in from outside: "Aunt, the Crown Prince's Consort has started a fight."

"What?" Jiang Chunxi pretended to be surprised. "Isn't the baby in the Crown Princess' belly only seven months old? How come it went into labor?"

It's almost the same. If Jiang Chunxi hadn't given Liu Hanqing the pregnancy-preserving medicine in advance, the baby in Liu Hanqing's belly would have fallen out long ago.

After all, with her poor body and fat figure, even if she got pregnant, there was no way she could keep the baby.

"I don't know what's going on," Xichun shook her head and said, "Auntie, should we go over and take a look?"

Because Xichun and Dongling are now Jiang Chunxi's maids, they naturally have to follow the respectful address to their master. Although their relationship with Jiang Chunxi is like that of sisters, they cannot neglect their duties as servants, so as not to bring trouble to Jiang Chunxi.

"Aunt, it's already so late, why not just forget it!" Dong Ling said, "After all, you are almost six months pregnant now. If you go out so late at night, I'm afraid something might happen."

"No, I have to go," Jiang Chunxi asked Dong Ling to help her up. "The Crown Prince's wife is giving birth. As a concubine, how can I not go and see her? Otherwise, if the old lady is determined to investigate, I'm afraid I won't end up well."

In addition, the two pregnant concubines will definitely go there. When the old lady and Xiao Chen see them, they will naturally compare them with her who was not there. If that is the case, who knows what the mother and son will think of her?

So she had to go there. Anyway, she was pregnant, and Xiao Chen and his mother would not let her stay in Liu Hanqing's yard. They would definitely send her away immediately.

Dongling and Xichun immediately helped Jiang Chunxi dress and comb her hair. After all, she couldn't go out with her hair disheveled!

When Jiang Chunxi brought Xichun and Dongling to Liu Hanqing's yard, the other two pregnant concubines also arrived.

Xiao Chen frowned when he saw the three of them: "Why are you here? Go back to your own yard."

"Madam Liu, please arrange a few more people to send the concubines back." The Duke's wife said. She was really worried late at night.

So just say it!

Why are these concubines causing trouble?

What if something unexpected happens to the baby in my belly?

Jiang Chunxi and the other two concubines naturally didn't dare to say anything more. The three of them bowed to Xiao Chen and the Duke's wife and left quickly.

Anyway, they have already shown their faces, so they can leave as soon as possible. Not to mention Jiang Chunxi, even the other two concubines are eager to leave. After all, now is not the time for them to show off.

When Jiang Chunxi woke up the next morning, Dong Ling told her that Liu Hanqing had given birth to a son in the middle of the night.

"I heard that the child cried like a kitten when he was born. The palace doctor felt his pulse and said that his body was not healthy. If he is taken care of until he is three years old, he can still grow up, but I think that's a long shot. After all, he has to take medicine from the moment he is born. No matter how well he is taken care of, he may not grow up."

"Don't say such things in the future," Jiang Chunxi said, "If it gets out accidentally, I can't protect you."

"I understand," Dong Ling helped Jiang Chunxi get up from the bed, "I'm just saying this in front of you, I won't say anything without thinking."

"Aunt, do you think this is retribution for the Crown Prince's Consort? She ruined her appearance in order to give birth to a child, but she didn't expect to give birth to a sickly child in the end. She will probably experience the pain of losing a child. I wonder how devastated the Crown Prince's Consort must be right now?" Dong Ling said with a slight smile on her lips, but she didn't sympathize with that vicious woman Liu Hanqing at all.

"Who knows?" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "Maybe it's possible that he will be punished."

Just then, Xichun and Shiliu came in carrying toiletries.

Jiang Chunxi had just finished washing and dressing up and was about to have breakfast when she saw Xiao Chen walking in with a gloomy face.

"Sir," Jiang Chunxi quickly stood up and walked to Xiao Chen, "I am about to have breakfast. If you haven't eaten yet, please eat with me."

Since Jiang Chunxi said so, Xiao Chen naturally sat down to have breakfast with her, even though he hadn't eaten in the morning and wasn't hungry at all.

Dong Ling and Xichun hurriedly prepared another set of bowls and chopsticks. When Jiang Chunxi and Xiao Chen finished their breakfast, Jiang Chunxi and Xiao Chen sat on the couch in the inner room. She also personally made a cup of tea for Xiao Chen.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Chunxi handed the brewed tea to Xiao Chen, "You seem very unhappy to me. Is it because of the young prince?"

"You know that too!" Xiao Chen said with a sullen face, "The child is physically disabled, I guess..."

Xiao Chen did not continue to speak, but became angry: "It's all Liu Hanqing's fault. If she hadn't always used the baby in her belly as a raft during her pregnancy, how could the baby be born prematurely and have an incomplete body?"

"Alas! I don't know what to say," Jiang Chunxi said as she sat down, "But didn't the palace doctor say that as long as the young master is well taken care of until he is three years old, he will be able to stand on his own feet. I believe that the young master will definitely grow up safely."

Xiao Chen didn't think so. The child was too weak. When the midwife brought the child out last night, he didn't even dare to touch the child, for fear that the child would be killed by the touch.

Anyway! Xiao Chen really had no hope that the child could be raised.

Then Xiao Chen stroked Jiang Chunxi's belly and said, "You must give birth to a healthy child for me. No matter it is a boy or a girl, as long as the child is healthy, I will make you my concubine."

Xiao Chen was really devastated by Liu Hanqing's child, so he originally wanted Jiang Chunxi to give birth to a boy before he was going to make her a concubine.

But now, as long as Jiang Chunxi can give birth to a healthy child, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, he is ready to make Jiang Chunxi his concubine.
