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

"Keep watching." Pei Jin waved his hand, and the little girl hurriedly ran away from the path.

Okay, it’s done.

Pei Yunshan has already gone to Qingcheng Mountain. No matter how many people he leaves behind, I am more than capable of dealing with them.

Although Liu Wan'er was a little scheming, she didn't dare to do anything with her mother around. After all, she was her aunt! She dared not disobey the mistress's call.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Chan Yi, and felt a little uncomfortable. Chan Yi must have been very scared when she heard that he was going to get married. Liu Wan'er was at least a good concubine. Even if her father doted on her, she would be controlled by her mother sometimes, not to mention that Chan Yi was still a lowly concubine. Although he kept saying that he would protect her, it was impossible for a man to stay in the backyard all his life.

His face was as gloomy as water as he walked towards Zhuxiang Garden. Yesterday, he summoned Liu Fuyi to inquire about the matter. Before he even opened his mouth, Liu Fuyi looked flustered and dared not look him in the eye. His guess was indeed correct. It must have been his father who hinted at him, so he said so vaguely that An'er was suffering from smallpox.

Since his father is so heartless and ungrateful that he dares to attack his people, don't blame him for being ruthless and paying with his own life. Chanyi, An'er and Mother Zhou must not die in vain.

The next day, Pei Jin went to the main room to pay his respects to Madam Wang. During the conversation, he said, "Mother, you have become more kind and gentle recently. Why haven't Aunt Liu and my elder sister come to pay their respects to you in the past few days since I came back?"

Since Pei Yunshan gave her a packet of poison, Mrs. Wang also learned that Pei Yun liked to go to the small kitchen to get close to people every time she came, so she was worried that they would poison her. Because of this, she stopped their morning and evening greetings on the grounds that the weather was too hot and the sun was too strong. Hearing her son talk about this, she smiled awkwardly and said, "There is nothing serious at home. I feel upset when I see them. It's better not to see them, so that we can both feel better."

"Mother, this is not appropriate, is it?" Pei Jin shook his head. "Father is away on a long journey, you should take better care of them. I vaguely heard people in the kitchen complaining yesterday that Aunt Liu's dietary requirements are becoming more and more delicate and it is becoming more and more difficult to serve her."

"Is this really true?" Madam Wang and Mother Zhang looked at each other and thought to themselves, "Could it be that..."

"Madam, is Concubine Liu pregnant again?" Madam Zhang whispered, "She is like this every time she has a child. She refuses to eat this or that. Madam, have you forgotten?"

"Oh? That's true." Pei Jin nodded, "Mother should pay more attention to this matter, otherwise when father comes back, he will definitely blame mother for dereliction of duty. As the mistress, you didn't even know that the concubine in the mansion was pregnant."

"Yes, thanks to Shenzhi's reminder, this is indeed mother's fault. Our mansion is not prosperous, and it would be a good thing if she could give birth to another child for the Marquis." Mrs. Wang said solemnly, but she was extremely annoyed in her heart.

Now that her son refused to get married, she didn't know how long she would have to put off the divorce! Now she was asked to take care of a pregnant middle-aged woman, which was really annoying!

"Shenzhi, when are you willing to get married?" Madam Wang sighed, looking at her son's face and said, "Whenever it's almost time, it's fine. The day before yesterday, I went to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion to explain the situation. Miss Lu is really virtuous. Not only did she not blame our family, she was also willing to wait for you. What do you want me to do? Shenzhi, such a good match will be hard to find again if you miss it. Even if you are reluctant, you should consider your mother. In the future, who do you want your mother to hand over this huge family business to?"

"Mother, there is no room for negotiation on this matter." Pei Jin said coldly, "Don't say anything else. Go and explain it to Wuyang Marquis's Mansion."

"Shenzhi ah..." Mrs. Wang began to wipe her tears again.

When Pei Jin noticed that the topic had gone off track, he quickly glanced at Mother Zhang.

"Madam, there is no rush for this. Perhaps the prince's destiny has not arrived yet. A forced melon will not be sweet. You don't want to see him live an unhappy life like you in the future, do you?" Mother Zhang handed over a handkerchief and consoled him in a low voice.

Mrs. Wang gradually regained her composure and looked at her silent son with some disappointment, knowing that she could not persuade him no matter what she did.

"Mother, let the Wuyang Marquisate bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement first. You can find any reason you want." Pei Jin said calmly.

“How can this be possible? Don’t you know that the last time the engagement of Changlin Bo’s son was broken off, people outside were saying that his son didn’t like women, so the woman broke off the engagement. If people outside spread false rumors about you in the future…” Mrs. Wang looked solemn and said hurriedly. She really didn’t want her son to be treated as a laughing stock.

"Mother, it's okay. Let them spread it. After all, we owe them." Pei Jin's face was calm and he smiled faintly. This kind of thing was really not worth mentioning to him now.

"You, go and do your own thing." Mrs. Wang was speechless.

"Mother, I will take my leave now. But you still need to worry about Haitangyuan." Pei Jin said in a deep voice, "And my eldest sister, she will be coming of age after the New Year, so you also need to take better care of her and make sure nothing happens to her again."

Watching Pei Jin leave, Mother Zhang said softly, "Madam, you should also understand the prince's painstaking efforts. Think about whether you miss the young master now. I miss him every day. I have never seen such a cute and well-behaved child in my life. To be honest, he is more handsome than the prince when he was a child."

How could she not be pretty? Mrs. Wang thought. I wonder how Chanyi and the others are doing in Luocheng.

"By the way, why hasn't the letter arrived yet?" Mrs. Wang felt a little uneasy.

"I wanted to send someone to ask, but I was afraid that the young master would find out, so I didn't dare..." Mother Zhang said in a low voice.

"You're right. It's better not to contact him for now." Mrs. Wang nodded.

"Ma'am, don't worry. No news is good news. You have made such careful arrangements, they will be fine." Mother Zhang whispered to comfort her.

In the Begonia Courtyard.

Liu Wan'er held a bronze mirror in her hand and looked at her face.

"Aunt, you have another one here." Hong'er pointed at her forehead and said in horror.

"Shut up, I'm just angry." Liu Wan'er put down the bronze mirror, her face pale.

She didn't know when her whole body was covered with red rashes, which were painful and itchy.

"Did you bring the poison gas back to Haitang Courtyard?" Liu Wan'er suddenly remembered something, grabbed Hong'er's cheek, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Auntie, Auntie, please let go, it hurts." Hong'er was scratched by her long nails, and she grimaced in pain, tears welling up in her eyes, "Auntie, it's impossible for me to do that. I have already burned all the clothes I wore that day, and I...I...haven't...got a rash."

"Hmph! You are such a jinx! You must have brought this disease back here. You are in good health so the disease didn't break out, but you passed it on to me." Liu Wan'er opened her eyes wide and cursed fiercely.

"Aunt, have you got smallpox?" Hong'er covered her mouth in fear, opened Liu Wan'er's hand in horror and ran out of the inner room.

As she ran, she screamed in fear, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
