Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

"Chan Yi, Chan Yi, the prince is back! The prince is back! Madam asked you to hurry to the front yard to welcome him." Dong Qing supported the gate with his right hand and shouted loudly while running out of breath.

In the summer afternoon, the sound of cicadas is getting louder and louder. It is the time when the green locust trees and tall willows are swallowing the new cicadas and the fragrant breeze is just beginning to blow into the strings.

Su Chanyi was suddenly confused when she heard the news. She suppressed her irritation and stuck her head out of the door, pretending to be surprised and happy and asked in a trembling voice: "Dongqing, the prince is back? Is it true? That's great!"

Dong Qing saw that she was wearing a pearly white crepe dress with a waistband and a plain white silk skirt. She had only a white jade hairpin on her head and was holding a three or four-month-old baby in her arms. She panted and called out, "My dear sister, this can't be true! Madam is so happy that she is about to faint. You should go quickly, go quickly!"

"Amitabha, the prince is back, it's so great, it's so great, may God bless you! Chanyi, you have finally made it. Give the doll to me, and go change into some bright clothes." Mother Zhou looked at Su Chanyi with a smile on her face and reached out to hug the child.

Su Chanyi put on a faint smile and shook her head helplessly, "Mom is confused. I don't have any bright clothes. Let's go quickly. It's too late. Madam will say something again."

The two people followed Dongqing out of the yard and hurried towards the front yard.

As soon as I walked to the corridor, I heard the voice of the marquis' wife crying: "My son, you are finally back safely. When I learned that you were missing, my mother's eyes were almost blinded by tears. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva blesses you, and you will be blessed by heaven, woo woo..."

"Mother, I am sorry for being unfilial and making you worry." The man consoled her in a low voice. His deep and mellow voice had a unique magnetism, and it was instantly recognisable as Pei Jin's voice.

Su Chanyi hugged the little baby tightly in her arms, her eyes were somewhat indifferent. It had been a year, and she thought that he had no news at all and must have died in the battlefield, but she didn't expect that he would come back in one piece, which was really unexpected.

She sighed secretly in her heart, everything would be different from now on. Although she didn't want to curse him to die early, his sudden return completely broke her originally peaceful life and disrupted her long-planned plan.

She looked at the long eyelashes of the sleeping baby in her arms, and thought to herself that the cards in her hand were not bad, and if she played them well, she might have a chance.

Turning around the corridor, there was a huge crowd of people in front of her. She walked to the back of the crowd with her head lowered, trying to minimize her presence.

Unfortunately, the baby in her arms suddenly woke up and began to hum. Su Chanyi quickly rocked the baby with both hands to comfort it.

When the Marquis's wife finally wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and slowly calmed down, she discovered that there was a young girl following her tall and handsome son.

"Mother, this is Miss Luo, her maiden name is Qingqing. My son is completely saved this time due to her. If not for her, my son's leg would be completely broken." Pei Jin did not pay any attention to the whimpering of the baby. He just smiled and introduced the lady in red behind him to his mother.

When the Marquis's wife saw her son's gentle eyes and warm attitude when he looked at Miss Luo, she understood a little. Her son had never been so considerate to a girl. There were so many noble ladies in the capital who favored him, but her son didn't even look at them. Once upon a time, she was worried that her son might not like women, until...

"Qingqing greets Madam Hou." Miss Luo has a petite figure and pretty face. She looks heroic in her red riding suit. At first glance, she is obviously the daughter of a military general.

"Okay, okay, Miss Luo, thank you for saving Shenzhi." Madam Hou nodded and wondered which family this Miss Luo came from. If her family background was right, she wouldn't mind having her as her daughter-in-law, so she pretended to ask casually, "Who is your father?"

"Mother..." Pei Jin called in a low voice, using his eyes to stop Madam Hou from asking further questions.

The Marquis's wife looked in surprise, only to see Miss Luo's eyes were red. She quickly changed the subject and said, "Ah, look at me. You have been traveling for such a long time, and you are exhausted. The weather is hot. Hurry up and go to the yard to rest. Madam Zhou, Chan Yi, the rest of you come here quickly and meet the prince and Miss Luo."

Mother Zhou quickly took Su Chanyi's arm and walked to the side of the marquis's wife. She looked at Pei Jin with tears in her eyes and said, "My Lord, you're finally back. You've become darker and thinner." Then she took out a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears.

"You make me sad again." The Marquis's wife said angrily.

"The prince is back." Seeing that she couldn't hide, Su Chanyi had to squat and salute. The baby in her arms must be hungry, as he kept nudging against her.

Pei Jin glanced at her lightly, then immediately turned to the Marquis's wife and said, "Mother, ask the servants to clean up the Tanchun Courtyard. Miss Luo will stay in the Marquis's mansion for a few days."

Seeing her son's eyes passing over Su Chanyi, Madam Hou was about to speak, but when she heard her son's words, the words she wanted to say were choked in her throat. She could only nod thoughtfully and shouted, "Mother Li, Dongqing, you guys, take Miss Luo to Tanchun Courtyard to rest."

After watching Pei Jin escorting Miss Luo towards the second door, Su Canyi stood up straight, shook the little person in her arms up, looked at the baby's pink and tender face, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Chan Yi, you..." Mother Zhou sighed, "You don't fight for anything, but for the sake of your baby, you should also fight hard."

Su Chanyi lowered her head, hiding her smile in the shadows, and whispered, "Mom, I'm just a concubine, and An'er is not real... What's the point of arguing about these?"

Mother Zhou sadly took the baby from her hands and looked at her fair and tender face, feeling unhappy.

The girl Chan Yi has suffered so much. She was abducted by human traffickers since she was young and she doesn't even know who her biological parents are.

Because she was born beautiful, she was taken care of by human traffickers as a rare commodity, and they wanted to sell her to a brothel at a high price when she grew up.

But man proposes, God disposes. Floods hit the south of the Yangtze River, and the traffickers’ entire family was wiped out. She was lucky and had a long life. She followed the refugees to the capital, and was spotted by the housekeeper, Madam Zhang, when she was distributing porridge for disaster relief in the Marquis’ mansion. She was taken back to the mansion and became a little maid in the Marquis’s wife’s courtyard. She was only nine years old that year.

"Go back." Mother Zhou sighed again, "But the baby is the first child of the prince, and the lady loves him very much. I think they will give you a good status."

Su Chanyi followed her with a wry smile. She understood what Mother Zhou meant, but how could she, a modern person, be willing to stay in the Marquis's Mansion and be a concubine of the prince?

How was this possible? She had never thought that this day would come.
