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

Chan Yi didn't say anything, but just patted An'er's back gently.

"Chan Yi, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming in a few days. I have already done what you asked me to do. Mrs. Wang will deliver the medicinal herbs later, and I have also exchanged the silver notes for you." Mother Zhou said with a smile, taking out the silver notes from the inner layer of her lapel and stuffing them into Chan Yi's sleeve.

Chan Yi, who had been looking worried, suddenly smiled. She said to Mother Zhou with a smile on her face, "Thank you for your help, Mom. I will make the sachets for the Dragon Boat Festival as soon as possible and will not delay your business."

"Oh, that's good, that's good. My daughter likes the sachets you make the most. She said that the tiger sachets you made in previous years are better than the sachets sold at Renjitang for five cents each. In addition to being able to repel mosquitoes, the embroidery patterns are also top-notch." Mother Zhou said cheerfully, "She asked you, if you make a few more this year, she can help you sell them."

"Really? Mom, don't lie to me." Chan Yi's eyes lit up. She thought that her hands were fast and she could probably embroider a dozen by the Dragon Boat Festival. Besides giving them away, she could also sell them and save some money.

"Chan Yi, I originally wanted to turn down this job for you. You are weak and have to take care of a baby. How can you have so much time to make sachets? But when I thought about you, I was afraid that the prince would marry a legitimate wife. If she is a narrow-minded person, it would be good to have some money on her side." Mother Zhou said naggingly.

Seeing a little maid walking by, she lowered her voice and said, "Chan Yi, you don't know the one in Tanchun Courtyard. She has been visiting Madam every day these past two days, and she would chat with Madam even when she has nothing to do. Although everyone in the mansion has changed their way of addressing her and calls her cousin, everyone knows what she is thinking."

Oh, so there is such a thing? Chan Yi looked at Mother Zhou in surprise: "Mom, isn't this Miss Luo the lifesaver of the prince? Why didn't the prince just marry her? Why did he have to recognize her as his cousin?"

"I don't know about that. I heard that she comes from an ordinary family. Maybe..." Mother Zhou said thoughtfully, "I just went to the Madam's courtyard and ran into her again. Her little girl named Biyu asked about you. Miss Luo also asked you to go to their courtyard to play when you are free."

What's going on? Did they find out her identity?

"Mom, how did they know about me?" Chan Yi asked with a frown. She didn't want to be jealous. This girl hasn't even become the mistress yet, but she's already thinking about taking control of her husband's concubine. This greedy behavior is really ugly.

Madam Zhou shook her head and said, "Perhaps it was Danzhu in Madam's courtyard who said that. I think they are very familiar with each other. Last time Danzhu mocked you, she was punished by the prince. Although she looked much more honest, she must be jealous of you in her heart. She relied on the fact that Madam Wu was her aunt, and even Madam dared to disobey her in secret. Madam also turned a blind eye. After all, Madam Wu was her companion and was in charge of the account office in the mansion."

Since Chan Yi came to the Marquis' Mansion, she has been very honest and was not very clear about the complicated relationships. Only now did she find out that Dan Zhu had such a relationship, which was quite deeply hidden.

"Mom, she will find out sooner or later." She lowered her head and touched An'er's little hand on her lips and said softly, "People like us will be disliked by the main wife sooner or later. If it weren't for Miss Luo and others, we can't blame them."

"Chan Yi, you should serve the prince well while he doesn't hate you. If he becomes his concubine in the future, it will be difficult for them to touch you again." Mother Zhou said in a low voice.

"Thank you for your advice, mom." Su Chanyi said softly, "I will be careful in the future, for An'er."

"That's right." Mother Zhou smiled with relief. Chan Yi is a kind-hearted girl, and she is not like the others who like to calculate others. She was afraid that she would suffer losses.

Chan Yi returned to her room and gently placed An Er, who was sleeping soundly, in the cradle. She then took out the banknotes and put them in her purse, carefully hiding them under the footstool under the bed.

She breathed a sigh of relief, drank a sip of water, and thought about what she had to do in the next two days. She felt a little anxious as she didn't know when her husband would be back. Once he returned home, most of her free time would be occupied by him. However, she didn't mind if he could pay her for it.

She took the basket of embroidery, selected a few pieces and started sewing sachets. Now she had to make her own sachets well before she could do private work. These for the Madam and the Prince just had to look good. They didn't need to be embroidered too complicatedly. They were just a token of appreciation. They could be worn on the Dragon Boat Festival. There was no need to put too much thought into them.

She stepped gently on the cradle while carefully sewing the sachet.

Pei Jin still did not come back that night, so Chan Yi took advantage of this opportunity to sew several sachets overnight.

When I got up the next day, I found that the rain had lessened a lot, and there was only mist and drizzle, as if it would clear up soon.

Stop it quickly, don't let the people suffer. She prayed in her heart. In this strange world, it is too difficult for the people to live well.

After breakfast, she sat by the window and continued sewing sachets.

"Sister Chanyi, Sister Chanyi, please stop embroidering. Your cousin is here to see you. She's already at the door. Mother Zhou is leading her over here." Xiao Que'er came jumping in, saying breathlessly, his head a little wet from the rain.

"Thank you very much, Xiao Que'er, quickly take the towel and wipe your head." Chan Yi immediately stood up and took the towel and handed it to her.

"I'm leaving. Mother Zhou asked me to watch the door." She waved her hand and left in a hurry.

Chan Yi was a little confused. Why did this cousin come to Zhuxiang Garden for no reason? What did she mean?

She glanced at An'er who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, feeling a little uneasy. The prince was not at home, so what did she mean by coming to Zhuxiang Garden in the rain and asking to see her by name?

She thought about it and decided to pick up An'er. No matter what, even if An'er was a bastard, he was still the young master of the mansion.

She was waiting at the door holding her child to greet her. There was a difference between master and servant. Now that this girl had become the cousin of the mansion, she, as the prince's concubine, had to serve her carefully.

After a while, Chan Yi saw Luo Qingqing in red, supported by two maids, walking slowly along the corridor. Mother Zhou greeted her with a gentle smile, as if introducing the layout of the garden to her.

She stopped not far away and looked towards the lotus pond, as if admiring the scenery. Chan Yi knew that from here, the view was of lotus leaves, misty rain, and the sky and water merging into one, which was very beautiful.

Finally, the group of people appeared clearly in front of her. When they first met last time, Luo Qingqing was still dressed like a heroic northern girl, but this time she was dressed like a noble lady in Beijing, with a red veil that trailed on the ground and had to be held up with both hands when walking. Her face was painted pale and her lips were bright red, just like any other noble lady in Beijing. In Su Chanyi's opinion, she had lost her original brightness.

She was petite, and this outfit was beautiful, but not outstanding. Instead, it magnified her shortcoming of being short.

"Hello, Miss Cousin." Su Chanyi squatted and saluted, speaking in a humble voice.

"Who is this?" Luo Qingqing didn't look at her, but turned her gaze to Zhou's mother.

What a good pretender! Chan Yi couldn't help but laugh. He was clearly coming for her, but he pretended not to know her.

"My cousin, this is Miss Chanyi. She is the prince's concubine." Mother Zhou answered enthusiastically.
