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

Pei Jin walked out of the garden and strolled forward alone. The evening breeze brought the faint fragrance of unknown flowers, which relaxed his tense heartstrings.

But for some reason, the image of the woman's snow-white breasts exposed from the front of her collar that I had just seen flashed through my mind.

Is she deliberately seducing me? Pei Jin clenched his fists, and the scene that he deliberately didn't recall appeared clearly in his mind. But his body suddenly had some kind of memory, and the instant change made him embarrassed.

This is normal, he thought to himself, normal people have normal desires, so what. She is his concubine, and it is not shameful to have some thoughts about her. Besides, it is legitimate for a concubine to serve the master. If she is well-behaved, it is not impossible to give her the title of concubine after the wedding. As for the child, he should be well educated and taught to be obedient. As long as he does not compete for favors with the legitimate son, everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, Pei Jin took a deep breath and calmed his agitated mood.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, frogs were croaking in the lotus pond, and the subtle fragrance of lotus flowers was floating in the air, making him feel particularly comfortable.

That little baby is his child, so soft, with big watery eyes. He really wants to hug him. He sighed slightly.

Otherwise, should I let her move back tomorrow? No, I can't go back on my word and let that woman look down on me.

Walking into Zhuxiang Garden, Pei Jin sat by the lotus pond, gazing at the fields of lotus leaves in the dark night, feeling safe and relaxed.

In Tanchun's courtyard, Luo Qingqing sat on the bed, pinching her ankles until they turned red, waiting for Pei Jin to come with the court physician, but no one came no matter how long she waited.

"Miss..." Shanhu asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to go outside and take a look?"

"Don't go. There are other people in this garden." Luo Qingqing said thoughtfully, "Tomorrow, you can find out why the maid was punished by the prince when we went to the main courtyard."

She was determined to win Pei Jin. Now she had moved into the Marquis' Mansion smoothly. She was only one step away, and she was not afraid that he would not marry her.

"Miss Luo, the prince sent someone to deliver ointment." There was a light knock on the door, and Mother Li said softly.

"Where is the prince?" Luo Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy instantly appeared on her face. She asked in a hoarse voice while rubbing her ankle which was not swollen or painful.

"Miss Luo, the prince still has some things to take care of. He asked the servant to bring this over." Mother Li replied in a gentle voice. Her expression was very humble, but she actually had some thoughts about this Miss Luo in her heart.

This young lady thought that she could deceive the prince with this little trick. These were all leftovers from the girls in the capital. The prince just saw through them but didn't say anything. But she dared not say anything carelessly. What if one day she really became the prince's wife, she would regret it too late.

"That's good. Aunt Li, thank you for your help. I'll let Coral stick it on for me." Luo Qingqing lowered her head and said softly, with no expression on her face.

Mother Li was a little confused for a moment, wondering if she had made a mistake and the girl really sprained her ankle.

"Miss Luo, you're welcome. Please call me if you need anything." She bowed and was about to leave.

Luo Qingqing had already winked at Shanhu.

"Mom, please stay. I'm really sorry to bother you. Our young lady has caused you so much worry." Shanhu understood and walked forward and stuffed a small purse into Mother Li's hand.

How could Madam Li dare to accept it? She quickly declined, saying, "Miss, you are really embarrassing me. You are the guest of the prince, just like you are my master. It is my duty to serve you."

"Mom, please accept it. It's just some money for your wine. Don't refuse it." Luo Qingqing said sincerely while rubbing her ankle, "I'm new here, so I need your advice."

Mrs. Li was in a dilemma, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss, you are so polite. Please tell me if you have anything to ask."

"Mom, you're welcome." Seeing that she was a little loose, Coral struck while the iron was hot and put the purse into her sleeve.

Mother Li had no choice but to accept it and kept thanking him.

As soon as Madam Li left, Biyu quickly closed the door, lowered her head, and muttered softly: "What a fool the prince is. The young lady is like this, and he still..."

Shanhu was so angry that she rolled her eyes at her and made a gesture as if the wall could hear something. Only then did she stop talking and looked at the lady in the tent with grievance.

"You just can't keep your cool." After a long time, Luo Qingqing nodded Biyu's head and said.

"Miss, why are you doing this?" Shanhu pointed at Luo Qingqing's foot with the plaster on it and said, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will find out that you are pretending?"

Luo Qingqing chuckled and said calmly: "I just want him to find out, so that he will think that I am just someone he can see through at a glance."

The welcoming banquet was held in a private room on the third floor of Tianxiang Tower.

The room was full of distinguished guests, and the wine was flowing. Pei Jin smiled faintly while holding the wine glass, but his expression was somewhat distant.

"Shenzhi, I'll toast you a glass." Li Zan squeezed over and sat next to Pei Jin, put one hand on his shoulder, raised the glass with the other hand, and smiled, "You're finally back."

"Thank you, Brother Li." Pei Jin raised his wine glass politely but distantly.

"Oh, I heard that your concubine gave birth to a big fat boy for you. Haha... Shenzhi is so lucky to become a father as soon as he came back." Gu Qingfeng appeared from nowhere and smiled at him with a wink, "Count the days, it's... Haha..."

"Who said it wasn't true..." Li Zan laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward with laughter, "It's just that no matter how much we fooled around, we didn't give birth to a bastard son before getting married. Tsk, tsk, tsk... I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

"You two should stop slandering Brother Shenzhi!" A servant standing behind Jinghao suddenly said in an unhappy voice, "Brother Shenzhi doesn't have a woman in his room, so how could he have a concubine's eldest son? You are lying! Besides, he has been gone for more than a year, how do you know that the child must be his!"

"Shut up!" Jing Hao quickly stood up and dragged the person out.

"Princess Qingyuan..." Li Zan and Gu Qingfeng looked at each other in surprise.

Pei Jin drank the wine in his hand slowly and without even raising his eyebrows. He had expected that these people would make a fuss about this matter.

But it's also a good thing. Now that the news that his family has a concubine's eldest son is known to everyone, the marriage can be postponed.

Over the years, from his father and mother's marriage, he had long seen that this so-called marriage between equals was nothing more than a business deal. Back then, who wouldn't say that the handsome and elegant Yong'an Marquis' son and the gentle and virtuous Wang family daughter were a match made in heaven? However, the marriage with too many family interests instead created a couple of resentment. It was a pity for his mother...

No need to say anything. He put down his wine glass, stood up calmly, and said, "Shenzhi, please give me your support."
