Wang Yunxi managed to get away with it on her wedding night. If Wen Qingcheng exposed her, her happiness would be ruined. It was all because of Wen Qingcheng's existence. Now the He family respected her, and the second and third houses had almost no place to stand. What bargaining chips would they have to fight for the family property in the future? If the second and third houses lost power, even their Wangji would have no business. Wang Yunxi looked at Wen Qingcheng gloomily, wishing she could be killed.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Madam Third Young Master? If not, I'll leave first." Wen Qingcheng felt that Wang Yunxi was very unlucky and didn't want to provoke her.

"Stop." Wang Yunxi and Yu Chen stood in front of Wen Qingcheng.

"Wen Qingcheng, you are really capable. You actually let Mo Jinghong take you to the He family's family dinner. Don't think that you can marry Mo Jinghong smoothly like this. Let me tell you, with your lowly status, you can only be a concubine." Wang Yunxi completely tore off her disguise and glared at Wen Qingcheng viciously.

The downfall of their Wang family, the exile of her brother Wang Heng, and her being defiled by Lao Qin, all of these things were related to Wen Qingcheng. As long as Wang Yunxi was alive, she would beat Wen Qingcheng to death, but she just didn't have the time to deal with her yet.

"You called me here just to say this? Look how noble you are, do you really think you are some kind of noble lady?" Wen Qingcheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and turned away.

Wang Yunxi thought Wen Qingcheng was mocking her, "Wen Qingcheng, you'd better keep your mouth shut. If you dare to mention my past in front of the He family, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Wen Qingcheng hadn't thought about that at first, but Wang Yunxi reminded her of it. "So it's about this. Then you better be careful and don't mess with me."

Wen Qingcheng pushed the door open and left after she finished speaking. She didn't mean what she said, but Wang Yunxi remembered it in her heart. She grabbed Yuchen's hand and said, "What did she mean just now? She dares!"

Yu Chen hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Madam. She wouldn't dare tell anyone even if she had ten guts." Yu Chen spoke very quickly, only to feel her stomach churning and she began to dry heave.

Wang Yunxi stared at Yuzhen sinisterly, and suddenly stretched out her hand to pinch Yuzhen's neck, "Little hoof, are you pregnant?"

Yu Chen's face instantly turned pale with fear, "No... No, absolutely not!"

Yu Chen has been serving Wang Yunxi since she was a child, and she knows that she is cruel and ruthless. Wang Yunxi has never allowed Yu Chen to get pregnant before her, and she always feeds her with contraceptive soup. If Wang Yunxi knew that she was pregnant, she would definitely force her to have an abortion.

Wang Yunxi let go of Yuchen half-believingly, and a smile appeared on her face again. She helped Yuchen straighten her collar and said, "Good girl, I know you are not ignorant. Maybe you have eaten too much. I will ask the doctor in the mansion to check you tomorrow."

Yu Chen followed Wang Yunxi back to her seat in fear, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

……

The next morning, Mo Jinghong sent Wen Qingcheng into the palace. He first went to pay his respects to several masters in the palace, and then parted with Wen Qingcheng. He decided to go back to the palace. Although he hated that home, it was New Year's Day and there were elders at home, so etiquette must be observed.

In the Jingxin Garden of the Prince of Qin's Palace, a young woman in a silver satin dress, led a little girl of seven or eight years old, and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old in an emerald green dress, walked into the house together.

As soon as the girl entered the room, she asked crisply, "Grandma, have you gotten up yet? My sister-in-law and I have come to pay our respects to you."

Su Xin, the head maid of Jing Xin Garden, smiled and replied, "Miss Ying, the old concubine got up early and is eating in her room."

The girl looked innocent and lively. She turned to the young woman and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in."

After entering the inner room, the girl called out tenderly, "Grandma, you have already finished your breakfast. It's so early today."

The old concubine, wearing a reddish-brown dress with gold embroidery, put down the teacup in her hand and smiled at her little granddaughter Mo Ying who was speaking behind her. "Ying'er, you're here so early, have you had your meal?"

"Greetings to our old grandmother." A young woman in silvery clothes and her daughter smiled and greeted the old dowager.

The young woman who was speaking was the wife of the eldest grandson of the old empress dowager, the eldest son's wife, Kang, and her daughter, Yan Jie'er.

"Oh, my little sister Yan is here." The old concubine turned around and ordered the maid, "Go, bring the freshly made milk puff pastry and osmanthus thousand-layer cake from the kitchen. Sister Yan and Ying'er love them the most."

Mo Ying said happily, "Grandma loves Ying'er the most and treats her like a child."

Soon, the maid brought the cakes, and Mo Ying took them and put them into her mouth without hesitation, with a look of satisfaction on her face, which made the old concubine laugh, "Hey, eat slowly, there are more."

Kang covered her face with her sleeves and smiled, "Sister Ying loves to eat the snacks here so much. What will we do when she gets married in the future?"

Mo Ying had a shy look on her face and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, you are making fun of Ying'er again. If Ying'er doesn't get married, she will stay with grandma and serve her for the rest of her life."

The old concubine laughed and said, "I can't delay you like this. How can a girl stay single for her whole life? You just keep talking like a child."

Kang continued, "This is also Sister Ying's filial piety towards Grandmother. It's really worth loving her."

"Yes, she is the youngest and the most sensible in the family, unlike her second brother who doesn't go home for the New Year!" The old concubine was smiling one second, and her face sank the next.

Kang laughed dryly and said, "I heard that Jinghong's maternal family won the first prize in the selection meeting for Princess Anle this year. They have to deal with orders from Beichen Kingdom and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as matters in the military camp. I don't think they can get away."

The old concubine frowned and said, "No matter how busy he is, he doesn't even have time to go home for the New Year. I think he is just busy for nothing. I heard Qi'er say a few days ago that the emperor rewarded him with a big house, but he built a golden house in it. He did a lot of ridiculous things!"

The old concubine took a deep breath. Mo Jinghong didn't go home for the New Year, which made the old concubine very unhappy. She had complicated feelings for Mo Jinghong. Although Mo Jinghong was her grandson, his biological mother, He, was the daughter of a merchant. Although He was a red-top merchant, she still looked down on merchant families, and she didn't like He's children either. It was just that the eldest son of the King of Qin had a congenital disability and could not inherit the title of king. When Mo Jinghong was a child, he was smart and clever, and he was both civil and military. At that time, she thought that Mo Jinghong could become a talent, so she began to love him more and more. Who would have thought that he would cause trouble everywhere after growing up, be unfilial and disobedient, and make people so worried.

Fortunately, he has now calmed down, made military achievements, and become a general. He is a favorite of His Majesty, but he is close to their family. It is really unfilial.

At this time, the maid outside came to report, "Queen, the prince is back."

Kang and Mo Ying's faces froze, but the old concubine wiped away the gloom on her face and sat up straight, but she quickly restrained her smile and pretended to be indifferent and said, "He still knows to come back."

Kang smiled and said, "It's rare for Jinghong to come back. I'll tell the kitchen to prepare a banquet so that our family can have a good reunion."
