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

Mrs. Wang probably knew what she was going to ask, and she remembered that Pei Yunshan sat in the armchair without saying a word last night with a serious expression on his face.

She didn't want to pay attention to him, but he hesitated and told her the rumors he heard outside, saying that people were saying that the prince of Yong'an doted on the concubine who gave birth to the eldest son of the concubine, and allowed her to live in the main house as an exception, accompanying her day and night, and they were more respectful to each other than the regular couple. He agreed to the marriage proposal just to cover up the truth, marry a wife and put her aside, so that he could promote the concubine to a concubine, and live together in the future.

Mrs. Wang was shocked. Wasn't this saying that her son was going to favor his concubine over his wife? She was so angry that she immediately smashed a teacup and complained about Pei Yunshan, saying that he had brought trouble to her son's reputation.

Therefore, as soon as the wife of Marquis Wuyang mentioned it, she knew that she must have come here for this rumor. However, she didn't know where these rumors came from. If they were true, they were exaggerated. If they were not true, Chan Yi would sometimes stay in the main house. Alas, this matter was really difficult to deal with.

She quickly put on a smile and said, "Madam, I understand everything you said. Don't worry, we at Yong'an Marquis' Mansion will handle this matter properly and will never let Miss Lu suffer any injustice."

"Oh, then I wonder how the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion has arranged it?" asked the wife of the Marquis of Wuyang, nodding her head.

"Madam, I will raise the baby myself for a while after he is weaned, and send him outside when he is older. I will never disturb the newlyweds. As for the concubine, to be honest with you, she is a very law-abiding person, who doesn't ask for anything and is a very honest person. If you think it is not appropriate for her to live in the mansion, why not send her to live in the farm outside the capital for a long time? What do you think?" Mrs. Wang said with a chuckle.

"Send him to the farm?" Lady Wuyang Hou paused, slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands. After a long while, she raised her head and said, "It's not impossible, but I'm worried that when the child grows up, he will complain for his biological mother, and the family will be in turmoil. This..."

Mrs. Wang knew that they were dissatisfied with her arrangement, so she cleared her throat and asked inquiringly, "What do you think, Madam?"

"Madam, how can we say this? If this matter is not arranged properly, our eldest daughter will be in a thankless task. I seem to have heard from outside that Prince Pei has a special liking for that concubine and dotes on her every day. If this is the case, my eldest daughter, who is a simple-minded person, I am afraid she will not be able to bear it." The wife of Marquis Wuyang said with some embarrassment.

Two days ago, she specially sent someone to the alley where the son of Yong'an Marquis lived to inquire.

The maids she sent were all experienced. They just said they wanted to work as servants in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and asked if there was any way. They also bought some cakes and candies to share with the children. The women who took care of the children had nothing to do, so seeing that they knew the etiquette, they sat at the entrance of the alley and chatted with them. The maids learned about the general situation of the Marquis' Mansion indirectly, but these were not big secrets.

When they were a little disappointed, they happened to meet a young wife who was said to have served Mrs. Wang. When they heard them gossiping about the Marquis, the Lady, and the Prince, and talking about the rules of the mansion, she said that the rules of the mansion were now in chaos, and it was all caused by the Prince's concubine. This concubine was naturally charming, pretending to be delicate and weak, and she was very cunning. She bewitched the Prince and slept in the main house where the Prince lived every day. She relied on giving birth to a concubine's eldest son and had no rules at all. Prince Pei was willing to offend anyone for her.

The maids came back and told her those words. She was so angry that she had a heart attack. If it was true as the young wife said, wouldn't Pei Jin favor his concubine over his wife in the future? Her daughter must not jump into this fire pit. But she couldn't just listen to one side and believe it. She was afraid that if it was just those servants gossiping to vent their anger, she would believe it and miss this good marriage.

When Madam Wang heard her say this, her brows slightly furrowed. She asked in surprise, "Madam, where did you get this from? Our Shenzhi has never been interested in women. He refused to accept any of the skinny horses I sent him before. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. He favored that girl because someone drugged him. He had no choice but to do so."

"Ah! Is there such a thing?" asked the wife of Marquis Wuyang in surprise.

"Madam, I wouldn't dare to say anything if someone else favored his concubine over his wife, but our Shenzhi would never do that." Madam Wang said angrily, wondering in her heart who had such a vicious tongue and why the tone of voice sounded so familiar.

A sudden light bulb went off in her head and she thought of Dan Zhu. She clenched her teeth immediately. This damn girl was a traitor. She was too lenient with her.

At the beginning, she knew that Danzhu coveted Shenzhi and set traps for Chanyi everywhere, so she didn't keep her around anymore and found a small butler for her who was not bad. She thought she would be grateful that she didn't punish her, but she dared to add insult to injury! After returning, she must punish this damn girl. If Shenzhi's marriage fails, she will make her pay.

"Madam, it's not that I don't believe you, but it's better to be cautious about marriage." The wife of Marquis Wuyang broke the silence and said in a low voice, "After all, you know that our eldest daughter will not have trouble finding a husband. A few days ago, a matchmaker came to propose marriage."

"Madam, I understand." Madam Wang forced a smile, "She is just a concubine. If you really mind, it is not impossible to deal with her. Give me some more time, and I will find a reason to get rid of her. It is not difficult."

"That's good." Lady Wuyang Hou was very satisfied with Lady Wang's attitude, and the smile on her face became even gentler.

------

In the past two days, Chan Yi took advantage of the good weather and secretly made a lot of pills and oils, and carefully hid them, thinking that if she left, she might be able to take them with her. An'er was still young, and although she had heard from her grandfather that breastfed children had strong immunity in the first six months and generally would not get sick, it was hard to say what would happen in the future.

The only thing Chan Yi was worried about when she ran away was An'er's health. She knew that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to seek medical treatment in this society, and it was an indisputable fact that most medical resources were concentrated in wealthy families.

Seeing that the weather was good, she asked Xiao Que'er and the others to help her pick some lotus leaves. She wanted to make a lotus leaf chicken for Mrs. Wang and send it to the main courtyard, and by the way, ask Mrs. Wang about her next arrangements.

But just as she put the lotus leaf chicken in the food box, Mrs. Wang came.

"Chan Yi." She did not bring any servants with her. They just stood at the door of the main house and stared at her. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. He felt that she had become more beautiful in the past two days. Although she was dressed simply, she exuded a temperament as elegant as a chrysanthemum, just like a graceful lotus flower emerging from clear water, naturally without any embellishment.

Chan Yi looked up and saw that it was her. She was startled. Mrs. Wang would never come to visit her for no reason, and she came quietly.

"Madam, Chan Yi was just about to come see you. I learned how to make lotus leaf chicken the day before yesterday, and I wanted to change the taste for you, Madam. I just finished making it." Chan Yi bowed and asked Madam Wang to sit down in the hall.

"Chan Yi, who's here?" Mother Zhou came out from the inner room holding An'er.
