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

"The child is only three or four months old and needs his mother. He is not used to the nurse's breast milk, so he has to be fed by Chanyi herself." Wang said softly with a worried look on her face, "When he turns one year old, you will be raised on my lap. Don't worry, I will educate him well. It's just that mother is worried about whether your legitimate wife will... After all, having a concubine's eldest son before the wedding is indeed a taboo for families like ours. If you have chosen someone, mother will tell her. Besides, our family of scholars and nobles values ​​legitimate sons the most, so let her rest assured..."

"Mother, you don't have to worry about this. I will take care of it." Pei Jin frowned and interrupted Wang's chatter. He leaned forward and said, "It's hot. You should have a good rest. I will go to my yard first."

"Okay, Shenzhi, I will let Madam Li look after Miss Luo. She only has two little maids with her, and I'm afraid she is not enough. I will assign the four older maids, Qiangwei, Narcissus, Muxiang, and Winter Plum to serve her. Do you think there is anything missing?" Wang stood up and looked at Pei Jin, asking for his advice.

She thought about it carefully and decided that her son's safe return was a blessing from God. She didn't care about other things as long as he was happy. But as for Chan Yi... Well, she had to give her an explanation after all.

Pei Jin left the main courtyard and headed for his own Bamboo Fragrance Garden. Wang sent Bai Su and Dong Qing to lead him there.

Before leaving, Wang whispered a few words to Dong Qing, asking her to pass the message to Mother Zhou to serve the prince well.

Pushing open the gate, what came into his sight was lush green bamboos. Looking further afield, the lotus pond to the east was a fusion of water and sky, with tall green lotus leaves filling the room and lotus flowers looking particularly red in the sun.

"My Lord." Mother Zhou came forward with a smile, "Go to your room and have a rest. This old servant has cleaned up the room with Chan Yi and the others."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom." Pei Jin frowned slightly when he heard the word Chan Yi. He didn't expect that she would actually live here.

In Tanchun's courtyard, Luo Qingqing stroked the bronze mirror on the dressing table, staring at her own face in a trance.

The mirror reflected a small, oval face. Unlike the porcelain-white skin popular in Beijing, it had a slightly wheat-colored complexion. However, her skin was smooth and delicate, her eyes sparkled, and her thin, light red lips were slightly upturned. She could be considered to have a beautiful face.

She had always been very proud of her appearance, and she was also a standout in the northwest, with many people coming to propose marriage to her, but she didn't want to spend her life with those vulgar men. She tried her best to beg him to take her back to the capital, but she wanted to marry him as his legal wife.

"Miss, the Marquis' Mansion is really magnificent." Biyu said with a smile as she touched the light and soft quilt on the bed.

"You really haven't seen the world." Shanhu smiled and tapped her nose and said, "When our young lady becomes the Crown Prince's wife, you will have a chance to open your eyes!"

"How dare you! Is this what you should say?" Luo Qingqing suddenly frowned and scolded.

The two maids were so frightened that they immediately shut up and dared not say anything.

"This is the Marquis' Mansion, you need to be careful with your words and actions. I have told you long ago that if you continue to be so rash, I will never let you off easily." Luo Qingqing raised a smile at the corner of her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

In the side room of Zhuxiang Garden, the little baby was sleeping obediently in the cradle and blowing bubbles to his mother.

"An'er, be good. Eat your fill and go to bed quickly." Su Canyi picked up the face towel and wiped the bubbles from the corner of his mouth.

An'er thought that his mother was playing with him, so he giggled and waved his little hands to hug Chanyi's fingers.

"An'er, An'er..." Su Chanyi called softly. Looking at the baby's eyes that looked like Pei Jin's, she felt a little sad. Such a small baby didn't know anything and only knew how to laugh and cry carefreely.

If it weren't for him, she could have left on her own accord without being distracted, and the prince would have been more than happy to have her. But with this little nursing baby around, how could she have the heart to leave him?

"An'er, be good, mother will stay with you forever." She leaned over and kissed his pink face, thinking that she must calm down and think of a solution in the next two days, and must not let sudden changes disrupt her plans.

"Sister Chanyi, Sister Chanyi, Mother Zhou asked you to go to the main house quickly, saying that the prince is waiting to see you." The little girl Xiaoqueer pushed open the door and called softly.

"I'll be there right away." What is coming will eventually come. Su Chanyi bent down and picked up An'er, raised her hand to tidy up her drooping hair, and thought silently in her heart that this side is especially important.

The sun was shining brightly outside. Su Chanyi used her hands to block the direct sunlight for An'er, and the little baby hummed happily.

When An'er was born, the midwife wrapped him in a swaddling cloth and tied his hands and feet with cloth strips, saying that this would keep the child safe. Later, during the confinement period, Su Chanyi secretly untied the cloth strips so that An'er could move freely.

An'er grew up fast, was lively and active, had a small dimple on his cheek when he smiled, and was so cute. Every time the Marquis' wife Wang held him in her arms, she would not let go, saying that the child looked exactly like the prince when he was a child.

Su Chanyi was afraid that she would snatch the baby she had worked so hard to carry for ten months. But she agreed to let her take care of the baby by herself, but she repeatedly told her to promise that no one other than Mother Zhou could take care of the baby, otherwise, if something went wrong, she would never show mercy.

Su Chanyi certainly knew what the Marquis's wife was afraid of, but as she was the child's biological mother, she would of course hide this secret from her.

But now the prince has returned, and he has brought the person he loves with him. Chan Yi estimated that a wedding would be held in the mansion soon, and before long, the prince's wife would have children and give birth to a legitimate son or daughter for the prince. Then An'er and herself would be a complete joke.

Su Chanyi held the child with a calm expression on her face. She had imagined it countless times in her mind. Based on her understanding of the prince's cold-hearted nature, perhaps he would cut the Gordian knot and get rid of this child who shouldn't have come and her, the unlucky concubine, as soon as possible.

After all, it was common for men from noble families to have a concubine or two before marriage. If the woman was unhappy, it would be a small matter as long as it was dealt with before marriage.

But if there is a concubine's eldest son, it will be different. This child is like a slap in the face of the woman. The woman will feel humiliated and will never marry a noble lady with a good family background. Now that the prince has personally brought back the woman he loves who saved his life, how can he let her suffer?

It was only a few minutes' journey, but Su Canyi's mind was already in a thousand twists and turns. But in the end, she decided that since this noble prince always hated stupid and greedy girls, she might as well become such a woman. At least if she was gone in the future, that man would be relieved.

Pei Jin watched the figure of the woman passing by the window, still wearing a plain white dress. He lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the Pisces jade pendant on his waist, his thoughts a little shaky.
