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

The smooth and moist touch startled Chan Yi.

"Hey, isn't this your bracelet?" she asked in surprise, lowering her head.

"This is a peach wood bracelet strung with a red string. It is used to ward off evil spirits. I made it myself in the Northern Frontier." Pei Jin said calmly.

Chan Yi knew that he had been wearing this peach wood bracelet on his wrist since he came back. It must be his favorite thing. She didn't expect that it was made by him himself.

"Prince..." she called in a low voice, feeling somewhat puzzled as to why he would give this to her.

"Wear it. I specially re-stringed it according to your size. I made the extra beads into pendants and will give them to An'er in the future." Pei Jin said in a gentle voice, touching Chan Yi's head.

"But this is your favorite thing." Chan Yi asked puzzledly.

"You are timid, let me give you some courage." Pei Jin's eyes no longer had a trace of joking, "Chan Yi, don't be afraid, I am here, you and An Er don't have to be afraid of anything."

Chan Yi nodded, only to feel him increase the strength in his palm, squeezing her hand so hard that it hurt.

"My Lord," she looked at him shyly, "As long as I am by your side, I am not afraid of anything."

She looked at him steadily and saw a smile slowly appear on his cheek.

For the next two days, Mrs. Wang was busy arranging the Lotus Banquet, while Chan Yi was undisturbed and focused on making clothes for the father and son.

She originally wanted to keep the bracelet given to her that day, but the man refused and insisted that she wear it all the time. Chan Yi couldn't persuade him and agreed.

That morning, Mother Zhou went to the main courtyard and went straight to Chanyi's room when she came back.

"Chan Yi, someone from the palace has taken Miss Luo away!" she said anxiously as she entered the room.

"Oh, what happened?" Chan Yi widened her eyes. How come this matter was settled so quickly?

"I heard from Madam that someone from her family, I can't even tell who they are, went to the palace to file a complaint, saying that our young master was unworthy of his benefactor and had abandoned this Miss Luo! Isn't that infuriating? She really thought that our young master had never seen a beautiful woman." Mother Zhou said angrily, and she even spat as she spoke.

Ah, it turns out that there is a follow-up to what Luo Qingqing said last time. Su Canyi couldn't help but feel a little panicked. This woman was unreasonable and bold. What if it really happened... the consequences would be unimaginable.

"But Madam said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suppressed the matter. He will investigate the case secretly and will definitely give justice to our prince. Don't worry." Mother Zhou saw that Su Chanyi was a little panicked and hurriedly whispered.

Su Chanyi patted her chest and said, "I feel relieved when Mom says that. I wonder if the prince can come back home?"

Mother Zhou shook her head blankly.

In the main courtyard, Luo Qingqing and her servant had just been taken away by people from the palace when Pei Yunshan sighed to Madam Wang, complaining that she had kept the matter a secret and that he, the head of the family, was kept in the dark.

Seeing that he was very emotional, Mrs. Wang ignored him and asked Dong Qing to make two cups of sour plum and lotus leaf tea. She placed one cup on the coffee table next to him and took one cup for herself to sip the tea slowly.

"Madam, why don't you take it seriously? It's just marrying a woman, so just marry her. Her family background is just a little worse, but she is still a lifesaver after all. Since Shen Zhi touched her in the first place, he shouldn't have abandoned her and brought trouble to our entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion." Pei Yunshan frowned and glared at Madam Wang.

Madam Wang blew the tea, looked back at him, and said slowly, "What do you mean by burden? Oh, by the way, I forgot that the Marquis has three precious children."

"You..." Pei Yunshan's face flushed. Mrs. Wang hit the nail on the head. If Pei Jin's reputation was ruined, the marriages of his three children would be difficult.

"My Lord, this is a good thing. If Shen Zhi is punished for this, His Majesty might remove him from the position of Crown Prince." Madam Wang sneered, "This will just fulfill your Lord's wish and let the second son take over."

"You really have a woman's view. Is now the time to talk about this?" Pei Yunshan became angry and kicked the coffee table to the ground with a bang.

"My Lord, what do you mean? Don't you know what kind of person Shen Zhi is? Why are you so eager to throw dirty water on your own son?" Mrs. Wang said with tears in her eyes, "I want to see, my Lord, instead of helping to find a way to clear your son's name, you want to force him to admit his guilt?"

"How ridiculous! What an ignorant woman! And she acts like a shrew!" Pei Yunshan was so angry that he was shaking all over. His wife had always been gentle and virtuous, but how could she act like a shrew now?

"It's because Shen Zhi is still alive that you are planning to take his place as the Crown Prince!" Madam Wang said coldly, "My Lord, why do you think I manage the Marquis' Mansion? It's because of Shen Zhi! If you want to touch him, I will not be a pushover."

"Madam..." Pei Yunshan softened. He was indebted to his wife and son. He stiffened his neck and said, "I had no choice but to do this. Why do you have to keep holding on to it? I am also doing this for Shen Zhi. I want to seek justice for him."

"My Lord, you don't have to lie to me. I know it all over the years. It was just because my brothers came to the mansion more often that you disliked them and were afraid that I would give them the money in the mansion. But I am also a daughter of the Wang family after all, and what I gave were all the property in my dowry." Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Later, you took Liu Wan'er as your concubine despite my opposition. Wasn't it to force me to confess? But have you ever thought about how much money I have earned for the mansion over the years!"

Pei Yunshan had never seen her crying like this. Seeing her crying with red eyes and a pitiful look, his heart softened. He quickly went over to her, picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the tears from her eyes: "Baozhu, don't cry. It's all your husband's fault."

Mrs. Wang ignored him, turned her face away and just kept crying.

"Baozhu, if you keep crying, my heart will break." Pei Yunshan only felt that at this moment his wife was also a weak little woman who needed his comfort.

He embraced Madam Wang in his arms regardless of anything and whispered to comfort her: "Baozhu, you have suffered. It is all your husband's fault for making you angry."

"My Lord, Madam, Aunt Liu wants to see you." Jasmine knocked on the door and reported softly.

In an instant, Mrs. Wang, who was lying in Pei Yunshan's arms, changed her expression again.

She raised her head and wiped her tears, then glanced at the bewildered man, sneering in her heart that she, the legitimate wife, seemed to be afraid of being caught cheating.

"Let her in." She stood up, straightened her messy hair and said calmly, as if she had suddenly turned back into a calm and self-controlled mistress of the marquis's mansion.

Pei Yunshan straightened his clothes awkwardly and sat back in the armchair.

"Dongqing, the Marquis accidentally knocked over the teacup. You guys should clean up the floor quickly." Mrs. Wang said slowly, looking towards the door.

Liu Wan'er, wearing a gauze skirt with a pattern of golden clouds and embroidery, came gracefully, bowed and said, "My Lord, Madam, I heard about the prince's affairs and was very worried."
