I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Maybe it was because he had been craving for coolness recently, often eating watermelons and bitter melons, and his diet was irregular, only eating spicy food, which caused his spleen and stomach to be in harmony, and he had a low fever for a few days. Lin Weiqiao was suffering.

It's a hot day and I'm afraid of catching a cold, so I don't even dare to use a fan too often. I'm also afraid of getting heatstroke. I'm in a dilemma.

Being sick is naturally very uncomfortable, so she asked Doctor Ma to see her, and Zhu'er and Xiaohan took turns to take care of her. This time, Huan Jie'er did not pretend to be dead. She knew to come and see her. Seeing that she was in pain, she felt distressed.

After four or five days of agony, she recovered. This was the first time she got sick since she came here. The original owner died of a serious illness, which showed that the original owner had a weak physical foundation.

She suddenly understood why ancient emperors loved to make elixirs to seek immortality. She didn't seek immortality either, but at least she wanted to be less sick and less calamity-free, right?

Madam Li came to see her and said, "Mom, you are just too tired from working too hard. And you like to eat cold and spicy food just like the young people."

She let out a long sigh. It wasn't her fault. She was only in her twenties, a real young person.

Finally, Madam Li talked about checking on the midwives. "I asked people to go to their original residence to inquire, and also asked the neighbors. They said that they moved away three years ago. I don't know why, and I don't know where they moved to. I can't find them at all."

She rolled up the curtains and said, "Is that so? Those maids can't find out anything either?"

"It's difficult. They suddenly disappeared. I'm afraid someone will come looking for them one day."

"That's true."

She guessed that Madam Lu must have made full preparations for the exchange and would not leave any evidence. After all, once this matter was exposed, Madam Lu and the second house would be finished.

Madam Li poured her some hot water, and was troubled. "We can't find the person, how can we investigate this matter further?"

She shook her head. If she couldn't find the big and small midwives, she wouldn't know the whereabouts of the child. "We still have to continue the investigation. Send two reliable people to the midwives' hometown and husband's family, and ask everyone who has any relationship with the two midwives. It's been so long, they must not be in the capital."

After that, Madam Li gave her the items she brought. "There are a few bottles of Eight Treasures Paste, which was made by my family. It's not adulterated, and all the ingredients are real. It's most suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach. It's most suitable for you, mom. There are also dendrobium and tangerine peel, and ginseng. My husband said to give them all to mom."

She accepted them one after another. "Oh, this is too expensive, isn't it? I just have a minor problem, it's not worth it..."

"Hey, it's made by my mother's family, it's not worth much. He's often busy outside, and people always give him gifts. It's just sitting there at home anyway, so why not give it to mom?"

"Then I won't be polite."

She smiled and looked at Madam Li in front of her, and suddenly her mind recalled the scene where she saw Steward Li and Cao Twelve Madam chatting and laughing at Bai's house.

She was struggling over whether or not to tell Madam Li.

Then she thought that she had no evidence, what if Manager Li was just good friends with Cao Twelve Niang?

Thinking of this, she closed her mouth.

After Madam Li left, she went for a walk in the garden to stretch her muscles. She had been lying in bed for the past few days and felt exhausted.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of Yinxiang passing by and was about to call out to her, but Yinxiang hurried past and went to the back door.

She felt strange. Where was Yinxiang going? She remembered that Yinxiang had never left the Bo's residence since Concubine Lian became pregnant. Guanyuxuan had everything it needed. What could Yinxiang have gone out for?

She remembered that Yinxiang was also bought from a human trafficker, and had no relatives outside the Bo's mansion...

She had something in mind, so she called Zhu'er and asked her to follow Yinxiang to see where she went.

Zhu'er put down the work in her hands. Although she didn't understand why she had to follow the incense burner, she still followed quickly.

After leaving the Bo's house, Yinxiang walked in front and Zhuer followed behind until they arrived at Zhang's house.

Seeing that no one was at home, Yinxiang was very puzzled. After asking people, she saw Zhang's mother outside the Chai family's door. At that time, Zhang's mother was chatting with Zhou.

Mother Zhang held Zhou's child in her arms and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Zhou's face was full of sorrow. "My husband still disagrees, but my mother-in-law has no objection. She is also happy to return to her hometown."

"Ah, Chai Sheng is the same. He doesn't think much about you and your son. The capital is good, but the prices are high. How can he support your family by himself? Food, accommodation, transportation, which one doesn't cost money? I feel so bad for you."

"I'm just afraid that he doesn't care about us, mother and son."

Zhou knew her husband's mind best. She was unwilling to move away. No matter how many excuses she gave, it was just because she couldn't let go of the people in the capital. The more this happened, the more she had to move away.

Zhang's mother said, "After I stayed at the Bo's mansion, I realized that the capital was for the rich and powerful to live in. It's hard for ordinary people like us to make a living. I know that big things like this have to be decided by their men, but their men are rough and careless, and they can't think as carefully as we do. You can persuade your mother-in-law and let her speak."

Zhou nodded in agreement. She knew that Zhang's mother had urged her family to move out so that her daughter would no longer have anything to do with Chai Sheng. She also knew that doing so would be good for both families.

Yinxiang, who was observing from a distance, saw this scene and became suspicious. He didn't understand why Zhang's mother appeared in Chai's house and talked with Chai Sheng's wife.

After observing for a moment, she saw Zhang's mother get up and leave, so she quickly turned around and left.

While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, Zhu'er saw all of this and was completely confused. She didn't understand why Zhang's mother appeared here, and she didn't understand why Yinxiang came to secretly follow Zhang's mother?

One of them is Aunt Lian's biological mother, and the other is Aunt Lian's personal maid. Logically, they are from the same group, so why are they still...

When Aunt Lian returned to the Bo's residence, she was shocked to learn that her own mother had appeared at the Chai family. "Where did my mother go? And what was she doing? And you were talking to her?"

Yinxiang shook her head. "I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't ask any more questions and just came back to report to my aunt."

Aunt Lian held her back and sat down carefully, thinking about this matter carefully. It was indeed related to her. She thought that Lin Weiqiao probably knew that Zhang's mother went to Chai's house.

Are the two of them conspiring to do something to Chai Sheng?

Thinking of this, her heart tightened. Lin Weiqiao knew that the baby in her belly was born from Chai Sheng, and the first wife also hoped that she would have a boy to carry on the family line.

Therefore, her child cannot have any flaws in her background.

But there is no wall that is impenetrable. When the child is born and grows up, what if he looks like Chai Sheng, wouldn’t the truth be revealed?

Just in case, getting rid of Chai Sheng is the best protection.

Could it be that Zhang's mother and Lin Weiqiao have joined forces to get rid of Chai Sheng?

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Cold sweat broke out on her back. She said weakly, "Incense!"
