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

Xuan Bai was half-kneeling on the ground in black and whispered, "Miss, someone might take the opportunity to cause trouble tomorrow and involve the young master. Please don't panic. The master will make proper arrangements. The Duke and the Young Master Xiao are fine, so please don't worry."

"Okay." Chan Yi nodded in agreement, feeling relieved. Xuan Bai would come to tell Pei Jin that everything was fine. "Tell your master that there are many strong refugees with northern accents gathered in the West Market. They might be soldiers in disguise. Tell him to be careful."

Xuanbai agreed and disappeared into the dark night in an instant.

Chan Yi returned to the house and thought about what Xuan Bai had just said. No, An Er must be settled first. No matter what happens tomorrow, the most important thing is to protect An Er.

She immediately called Mother Zhou and asked her to hide in the cellar with An'er in her arms and not to show up without her personal order.

Then, she ordered several maids to clean up all the children's belongings in the house to prevent anyone from discovering any flaws.

The next day, the weather was gloomy and it looked like it was going to snow.

Mrs. Lin did not wait for her husband and eldest son, but waited for the eunuch from the palace.

"Madam, I am here on the orders of His Majesty to search for Pei Jin's offspring." Eunuch Wang hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Someone reported that your eldest daughter was Pei Jin's concubine and that she and Pei Jin had a daughter."

"Eunuch Wang, what are you talking about! What Pei Jin's concubine? Isn't this slander? No matter how poor my daughter is, it is impossible for her to be a slave!" Mrs. Lin said angrily.

"Well, please don't be angry, Madam Duke. I am here to search under orders." Eunuch Wang said in a low voice, "The Marquis of Yong'an has committed a crime, and His Majesty is furious and wants to execute the entire family. Suddenly, someone reported that Miss... To be honest, this matter..."

"Eunuch Wang, you don't have to be embarrassed. I will confront him face to face with who said it. He said that an unmarried daughter of mine has a child, and the child is Pei Jin's? He is really throwing dirty water on us. He really thinks that there is no one left in our Duke Zhenguo Mansion!" Chan Yi frowned and said, thinking that since Eunuch Wang came in first to tell the story, it must be Pei Jin's doing.

She pretended to be about to cry and leaned into Madam Lin's arms and said, "Mother, I just returned to Beijing not long ago. I don't know who I offended. How dare they humiliate me like this? I...I won't live any longer!"

Madam Lin had known about what happened last night, and immediately said to Eunuch Wang, "Eunuch Wang, who is trying to make things difficult for our Zhenguo Mansion? Why don't we let that person in and confront him face to face!"

"Since you say so, Madam Duke, I know what to do." Eunuch Wang nodded and whispered a few words to the young eunuch.

The young eunuch hurried out, and after a while, several young military officers followed a young man and woman and walked over here.

The woman lowered her head, her hands unconsciously holding her slightly bulging belly, and was supported by two maids as she walked weakly into the flower hall.

Chan Yi recognized the woman as Pei Yun at a glance. She didn't expect that she was so capable and could escape. Chan Yi was really impressed by her.

I don’t know how she got close to Pei Jin’s rival, and she even got pregnant. It’s really a race against time.

But looking at the way she is dressed, she hasn't earned the status of a legal wife. At most, she is just a concubine. It's a pity that she is so calculating.

"Eunuch Wang, who is this young lady?" Chan Yi asked in surprise, "She looks like a concubine, right? Or maybe even a mistress? Why is she out in the public like this? Doesn't her family care?"

Perhaps these words hurt Pei Yun. She raised her head and stared at Chan Yi with resentment.

"You... a lowly slave actually dared to pretend to be the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion." Pei Yun was so angry that her whole body was shaking. "Don't think Pei Jin can still protect you. He died a long time ago!"

"Who are you! How dare you yell at the eldest lady of our Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!" Mrs. Lin stepped forward and shouted at Pei Yun.

"Madam, please calm down. This is not something we wanted to do." Li Zan entered the flower hall with a team of guards. He bowed perfunctorily, his lustful eyes darting around at Chan Yi.

Chan Yi felt a chill in her heart. Wasn't this man Li Zan, the legitimate son of Li Taifu? Did they gain power? That's why they dared to wantonly humiliate the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and humiliate themselves? I didn't expect that Pei Yun was so capable that he actually hooked up with the Li family.

"Mr. Li, why are you here?" Xiao Che asked with a sullen face.

"Good question, good question." Li Zan clapped his hands and laughed, with a proud look on his face. "The Pei Jin case is now under the jurisdiction of my father. Do you think I can come here?"

As expected, it seems that the old man Li Taifu is stirring up trouble. I don't know what method he used to force Your Majesty to take back the power of the Crown Prince and put him under house arrest. Pei Jin is just a scapegoat in their hands.

Thinking that His Majesty's power had already been hollowed out by now, Chan Yi's heart felt like a bucket of ice water was poured over it.

Although her father and brother were safe for now, the situation could change suddenly. She was afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was already in danger, and those evil spirits dared to step on it.

"Mr. Li, if you have something to say, just say it. After all, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is the Queen's mother's family. You can talk, but please be careful about your words." A young general walked up and said coldly to Li Zan.

Chan Yi saw that the man was quite young and didn't know where he came from. Just as she was wondering, the man gave her a wink. Chan Yi immediately felt relieved. As expected, Xuan Bai was right. Pei Jin had already placed people there.

"You, Lin Yi, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have a few guards under you! If you keep telling me what to do, don't blame me for turning my back on you." Li Zan rolled his eyes, turned back to Chan Yi and said with a smile, "I never thought that Miss Xiao is actually a woman who has given birth to a child. No wonder..."

His lustful eyes swirled around Chan Yi's chest. Xiao Che immediately protected his sister and said loudly, "What basis do they have to say that my sister is a slave of the Pei family and has given birth to a child for Pei Jin? What evidence do you have? You are just accusing people without any evidence. You really have no law. You are trying to destroy our sister's innocence."

"Of course there is evidence. Our Yun'er is the evidence." Li Zan said to Pei Yun, picking his teeth, "Yun'er, who do you think she is?"

"Yun'er? Who is she?" Chan Yi asked calmly.

"Of course she's from the Pei family." Li Zan said with a sidelong glance, "She's seen you before! You're Pei Jin's concubine. You gave birth to a concubine's daughter and yet you insisted that it was a concubine's son. You're really bold!"

"From what Master Li said, it seems that this lady is Master Li's concubine. It's so cold, maybe the wind has damaged her brain." Chan Yi laughed, "Everyone knows that I have lived in my ancestral home in Jiangyin Prefecture since I was a child."
