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

"Mother Li, Mother Li, the madam wants you to come over for something." A little girl ran up and called in a low voice.

This interruption helped Madam Li out of the predicament. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Madam Lin and Xiao Yuan apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have something to do and can't see you off."

"Dongqing, come here quickly, take Madam Lin and the prince out of the house." She shouted towards the corridor, then turned back to Madam Lin and said, "She is Madam's maid Dongqing, Madam, you guys follow her."

Mother Li knew that Dongqing was always calm and he knew exactly what to say and what not to say.

Dong Qing immediately came over, bowed, and walked out with Mrs. Lin.

This was exactly what Mrs. Lin wanted. She winked at her son and whispered to the pretty Dongqing, "Ms. Dongqing, I remember there was a girl with a slim figure and a pair of bright black almond eyes by your wife's side. I wonder where that girl is now?"

"Almond eyes? Madam, could the girl you are talking about be Jasmine? Jasmine has a pair of big, black and bright eyes." Dong Qing thought for a long time before turning her head to the side and said. In fact, she had long heard that the girl that Madam Lin was asking about was Chan Yi. She felt very strange. The two of them should not know each other, and Chan Yi never showed up in public. This Madam Lin had obviously come to the Marquis' Mansion to pay her condolences, so why did she suddenly ask about Chan Yi?

The matter of Chan Yi was a secret of the Marquis' Mansion, and Dong Qing knew that she must not reveal even a little bit of it to outsiders.

"Jasmine?" Mrs. Lin was surprised and happy, and asked hurriedly, "Where is that girl? And when did she enter the mansion?"

"Madam, why do you ask this?" Dong Qing pretended to be surprised and asked. She felt more and more that there must be something wrong with this Duke's wife. However, she probably didn't know Chan Yi's name, let alone who Chan Yi was. Thinking of this, her heart was slightly relieved.

"Miss Dongqing, it's like this. I met her once in Ji'en Temple, but I didn't know who she was, so I asked you." Mrs. Lin said slowly according to the words she had prepared long ago.

"Ji'en Temple, ma'am, when did you meet her? A few of us did follow you to Ji'en Temple." Dong Qing said casually.

She led them out of the hanging flower gate, and immediately two maids came to greet them.

"So you went there too." Madam Lin said happily, "The last time I went to Ji'en Temple to burn incense, I happened to see her entering the gate with a maid. She stopped to buy a basket of flowers from a little girl. When we entered the Heavenly King Hall, she saw that we didn't bring any flowers for offering, so she kindly gave us half of the flowers and refused to take our money. Later I heard that she came with your wife. When I went to look for Madam Wang, they had already left. So I wanted to see her again and thank her in person."

"That's easy, ma'am. Please wait a moment. I'll go and ask Jasmine to come and see you." Dongqing said hurriedly.

When Mrs. Lin heard her finish speaking and walk away through the hanging flower gate, she felt both happy and nervous.

"Mother." Xiao Yuan held his mother's hand and comforted her softly.

Coming, coming. Not long after, they saw Dong Qing hurriedly coming with a charming girl. The girl had an oval face and seductive eyes, and she only glanced at Xiao Yuan.

According to a mother's intuition, no matter how much her Qianqian grows up, she will never look like this.

Mrs. Lin looked at her son blankly, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Madam, Prince, I am Jasmine." Jasmine bowed to them tenderly and charmingly.

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly. That girl shouldn't be from the Marquis' Mansion." Madam Lin said disappointedly, "Thank you for bothering me to come all the way here. Miss Dongqing, Miss Jasmine, please go back."

"My two ladies, I have another question for you. Has any girl from your Yong'an Marquis Mansion gone out during this period?" Xiao Yuan glanced at his mother and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, there is one. She is a maid serving the Madam. She is old, and the Madam, in recognition of her service, has allowed her to leave the house and get married." Dong Qing tilted her head and thought for a while before saying. Anyway, she was telling the truth, so she was not afraid of them investigating.

"Oh, young lady, do you know where she married?" Mrs. Lin asked anxiously.

"Madam, she accidentally fell into the toilet and died the day before yesterday." Dong Qing hurriedly shook his head.

Mrs. Lin's heart skipped a beat and tears immediately filled her eyes. She lowered her head slightly and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, afraid that she would suddenly burst into tears.

She thought of thousands of possibilities, but never imagined that her daughter, whom she missed day and night, would leave this world in this way.

"Madam, she is not the person you are looking for. Because she left the house early and did not accompany my wife to Ji'en Temple." Dong Qing's words were like heavenly music, and Madam Lin recovered from her sadness.

In the carriage, the mother and son looked at each other in silence, each with their own thoughts.

Xiao Yuan was wondering what kind of illness Pei Jin had that he couldn't even see him?

Yes, things have been really outrageous in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion recently. First, Pei Jin's eldest son died, and then I vaguely heard that the concubine and Pei Jin's wet nurse also died. If it wasn't an infectious disease, there must be something fishy about the mysterious deaths of three people in a row.

Within just half a month, the concubine and the concubine of the marquis's mansion also committed suicide by burning themselves to death. Soon after, even Marquis Pei and the second son who had inexplicably gone blind also committed suicide by taking poison. It was really strange.

Now I heard that a maidservant of Mrs. Wang fell into a toilet and died after she got married. It was really strange.

If Xiao Yuan wasn't the kind of nosy person, he really wanted to have a chat with his cousin the Crown Prince. The series of deaths in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion were obviously man-made.

Thinking of Pei Jin's eldest son, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think of the cute little girl. He still remembered that when they first met, the little girl was not shy at all, and stretched out her little hands and cried out, wanting him to hug her. He also remembered that the little girl happily took the fan pendant he gave her and held it tightly in her arms. Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan's heart felt as heavy as if a big stone was pressed on it. Such a cute little baby, just gone like this, is really regrettable and heartbreaking.

"Yuan'er, why is everything so strange about the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion? Look, the Marquis and the second young master died in the mansion, and these servants seem to have sad faces, but in places we can't see, their expressions are very happy. It's really strange. And that Prince Pei, he didn't show up on such an important day. If he wasn't really sick and couldn't get up, he should have shown up in front of people, right?" Mrs. Lin was sitting in the carriage, and finally said to her son what she had been holding back for a long time.

Xiao Yuan didn't expect that his mother had the same doubts as himself, but he was afraid that his mother would worry, so he just smiled and comforted her, "Mother, maybe we are overthinking. But there are indeed many puzzling things in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Let your son check it out carefully."

Madam Lin frowned, sighed and said, "I always feel that there must be something wrong here. Yuan'er, you have to be careful. If our Qianqian is really in their house, I will feel even more uneasy. No, we have to find her as soon as possible!"
