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

Pei Jin took a step back calmly and said calmly: "My little cousin has reached the age of marriage now. She is not a child anymore. You should be careful about the relationship between men and women."

After he finished speaking, he strode into the front hall alone.

"Cousin Jin." Wang Zixuan followed behind with a grievance, her heart full of joy turning into resentment. It was obvious that Cousin Jin had been the best to her before and never said harsh words to her, but now, with the words "Men and women should not touch each other", he separated her from him.

She just heard her aunt and mother whispering that cousin Jin had agreed to the marriage proposal, and she was secretly happy. It sounded like her aunt didn't object to the marriage, which meant that they also had the opportunity to sit on the position of the prince's wife.

Wang Zixuan pouted, feeling a little unhappy. Could it be that Cousin Jin liked Sister Yan?

"Mother, eldest aunt, second aunt." Pei Jin walked into the front hall and greeted them politely.

"My Lord, long time no see." Aunt Wu said with a smile. Second aunt Li also smiled and greeted.

Wang Ziyan, the tall girl in yellow standing next to Wu, immediately stood up and shyly knelt towards Pei Jin, saying in a tender voice, "Yan'er meets cousin."

Pei Jin nodded, his eyes did not linger on her face, he just politely bowed and said: "Aunt, cousin, I have something important to deal with, let me leave first. You stay with mother and chat for a while."

Mrs. Wang looked at her son's back as he walked away, and she was a little confused as to what he was thinking.

In the evening, just when she was about to find Mother Zhou to ask about what happened during the day, she saw Mother Wu rushing in to find her.

This Mrs. Wu is Danzhu’s aunt.

"Didn't I give you two days off? Why are you back now?" Mrs. Wang asked suspiciously, taking a sip of tea from the teacup.

"I have something to say to you, Madam. You don't know that people are saying today that the prince spent a fortune on a stunningly beautiful woman in the Treasure Pavilion." Mother Wu gestured as she spoke.

"What stunning woman? How come I don't know?" Madam Wang put down her teacup and said with a gloomy face, "You're spending a fortune? What are you talking about? Don't believe everything you hear. I know that the prince went to the Treasure Pavilion."

"That's why I was anxious. I wanted to ask if the prince had a favorite girl. If not, it would be those people's nonsense, which would ruin the reputation of my prince." Mother Wu said angrily, "So when I heard the neighbors talking about it, I hurried back to the mansion. They said it was very convincing, saying that the prince bought the sapphire-inlaid jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion, which was priceless, just to win the smile of a beautiful woman."

"What beauty? It's all just a rumor." Mrs. Wang remained calm but was shocked in her heart. Could it be that her son really had feelings for Chan Yi and bought her expensive jewelry under the pretext of buying gold and jade for An Er? No, she had to have a frank talk with him as soon as possible.

"I said it must be a rumor." Madam Wu shook her head and said, "These people just can't stand our prince being good. Think about it, the prince is now highly appreciated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, holds a high position, is talented, and is good at both civil and military affairs. I wonder if someone has taken a fancy to the prince and deliberately slandered his reputation in order to take advantage of him. Madam, you have to open your eyes. Our prince's character is more than enough to match a princess."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt better.

Unexpectedly, Madam Wu said, "Madam, please don't blame me for being nosy. The only weakness of the prince now is that he has a little master. It would be better if it was a little lady..."

She deliberately lowered her voice and said hesitantly, "Madam, I am afraid that the noble lady from a good family will find fault with this point. Think about it, after all, the young master crawled out of the belly of Chan Yi, after all... not as good as..."

She said tentatively, looking at Madam Wang's face, "Madam, please don't blame me for being presumptuous. With such a concubine's eldest son, and our Marquis... it's not uncommon for other families to think too much."

"So what do you mean?" After hearing this, Mrs. Wang gradually understood. She really underestimated her chambermaid. Every word she said was directed at Chanyi and An'er. She was almost deceived by her.

"Madam, why don't you find an opportunity to send Chanyi and the young master to the farm and provide them with good food and drink. This way, outsiders will know that the Marquis's Mansion respects the Crown Prince's wife very much." Seeing that Madam's face was somewhat relaxed, Madam Wu immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "The young people have reunited after a long separation, and they have a little baby. The Crown Prince is soft-hearted, so it is inevitable that he will feel more guilty towards Chanyi and her son. I'm afraid that after a long time... Madam, do you think what I said is right?"

Madam Wang pondered for a moment, stared at Madam Wu's face for a long time, and sneered, "You really worry about our mansion and our prince. What a pity, what a pity, it is not your turn to make decisions about Chan Yi and the young master's stay or departure."

Inside Zhuxiang Garden, in the inner room of the main house.

"These are all for you." Pei Jin said casually, pointing to a stack of brocade boxes.

"Prince, those things are too valuable. I dare not accept them. Besides, I am of humble status and have no occasion to wear them. Why don't you keep them and give them to your wife later?" Su Canyi said with her head lowered.

She didn't really have any thoughts about these jewels. She couldn't take them with her when she left, so she might as well do them a favor.

Pei Jin was stunned for a moment. Other concubines would be so grateful and kowtow to express their gratitude when they received such a valuable reward from their husbands. But she always acted as if she was unworthy. Could it be that she was not satisfied with her status as a concubine? Was she deliberately showing it to him?

"Chan Yi." He held her hand, his tone somewhat cold, "I know you suffered a lot to give birth to An'er. I will give you the status you deserve in the future. However, I am not married yet, so I can only compensate you financially."

She thought she was the emperor! She kept talking about status. Chan Yi complained in her heart, a concubine was considered a royal concubine. Besides, she didn't even like a royal concubine, so she was still a concubine. It was impossible for her to be a concubine in this life. She didn't even want to be the main wife.

She has had mysophobia since she was a child. She hates sharing her personal belongings with others, let alone men. Who would want a rotten cucumber?

"My Lord, that's not what I meant... I will be content as long as I can stay with you and An'er quietly." Chan Yi raised her tearful eyes and said softly, "These things are all external things. If you really want to give me jewelry, I'd rather choose that jade hairpin so that it can stay with me for the rest of my life."

She took off the hairpin on her head, and her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Pei Jin watched silently as she solemnly took out the jade hairpin from the brocade box, tied up her long black hair, and turned back to look at him shyly, and asked timidly: "My Lord, do you think this hairpin looks good on me?"
