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

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that Pei Jin was thinking and said quickly: "I don't have anything else to do here, you should go back quickly."

Pei Jin returned to the mansion. Madam Wang was waiting for him in the hall. Seeing him coming, she said in a gentle voice, "Shenzhi is back. Let's have dinner here first."

"Mother, I'll use it after we get back to Zhuxiang Garden." Pei Jin bowed and said, "Mother, if you need anything, please let me know."

"Shenzhi, it's nothing serious. I would like to ask you to take a look at the gift list for the marriage proposal." Mrs. Wang checked her son's face and took the gift list beside her and handed it to him.

Pei Jin took a quick look and saw that the items listed were all valuable gold, silver and jade. He knew that his mother attached great importance to this marriage. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother. I think this gift list is very suitable."

"As long as you are satisfied, after all, the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion is one of the most powerful noble families in the capital, and there are countless noble families who want to marry into their family. As your father said, their eldest daughter has a good reputation, and our family cannot neglect her." Mrs. Wang said with a look of joy on her face.

Thinking of Miss Lu's calm face, Pei Jin nodded silently.

"But mother has one more thing to discuss with you." Madam Wang looked at her son with an inquiring look. "You also know that in a family like ours, in order to show respect to the bride, we have to send away the concubines before the wedding. I know Chanyi has given birth to An'er. If I send her away too, you will definitely not agree."

"I'm glad that mother knows." Pei Jin raised his eyes, and his phoenix eyes slanted, making Mrs. Wang feel oppressed instantly.

"Shenzhi, mother knows that Chanyi is still breastfeeding, and An'er can't leave her. But out of respect, can you send them both out of the Marquis' Mansion first? And then bring them back after you get married." Mrs. Wang said cautiously and tentatively.

Pei Jin's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her voice was a little colder: "Mother, this can't be done. An'er is still young. I'm afraid it will be bad for him to move to another place suddenly."

"This..." Mrs. Wang looked at her son and hesitated to speak.

"Mother, was it proposed by the Wuyang Marquisate?" Pei Jin's eyebrows jumped, and he looked directly into Madam Wang's eyes and said, "I said before the marriage proposal that if the other party can't tolerate Chanyi and An'er, this marriage will be off the table."

"Shenzhi, you can't say that. After all, you are marrying a wife, so you should give her the proper respect. Otherwise, she won't be able to hold her head up when she leaves home. Husband and wife are originally one. If your wife is looked down upon by others, you will not be much better off." Mrs. Wang said with her heart beating fast.

As expected, her son has fallen in love with Chan Yi. This is not acceptable. She originally wanted to test it again, but it seems unnecessary.

"Mother, I still have something to say. If she can't tolerate Chanyi and An'er, then forget about this marriage." Pei Jin let out a breath, with a hint of impatience in his words.

"Be careful! Marriage is no small matter. You must not be careless." Madam Wang stood up suddenly, her face looking a little unhappy. "You will have to marry a wife in this life. Marry a virtuous wife. Don't you understand this principle?"

"Mother, I won't say any more to you." Pei Jin felt that Madam Wang's words were like a sharp knife stabbing his heart. How could he bear to send Chan Yi and An Er out of the house? Even temporarily, he couldn't bear to do it.

"Shenzhi, listen to what your mother says..." Mrs. Wang said in a trembling voice.

"Mother, if they don't agree, then let's change families. Otherwise, I will never marry in my life." Pei Jin said lightly and turned to walk out.

"You..." Mrs. Wang was so angry that she pointed at his back and was speechless.

"This is the good son you taught!" Pei Yunshan came out from behind the screen and said with a serious face.

It was because of you that I was afraid that my son would never come back and that this huge family business would fall into the hands of a concubine's son. That's why I changed the contraceptive soup to a tonic soup. I never thought that I would be in a dilemma now. Madam Wang thought fiercely.

"My Lord, what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Wang asked, looking at the husband in front of her who was sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams.

She had deliberately let him hear her conversation with Shen Zhi today, just to get to know his thoughts.

She had known for a long time that Liu Wan'er had been trying so hard to please him these days just to deal with Chan Yi and her son and to avenge the blind Old Two. She thought it would be better to take advantage of the situation and let Chan Yi and An'er escape.

"Since he is so stubborn, he should not get married for the time being." Pei Yunshan sat directly in the armchair and said without even looking at Mrs. Wang.

"My lord, it's so easy for you to say that. Everyone knows that we are discussing marriage with the Marquis of Wuyang. Now that it's suddenly broken off, what will people think? Don't you care about the reputation of our Marquisate?" Mrs. Wang sneered.

"Does our Marquis' Mansion still have any face? Shenzhi gave birth to a bastard before the wedding, which has already brought shame to our Mansion." Pei Yunshan glanced at Mrs. Wang and said sarcastically.

"Are you blaming me?" Madam Wang glared at him, then smiled and said, "Yes, it would be best if Shen Zhi didn't have any children or grandchildren, so that your two precious illegitimate sons can take the position of Crown Prince."

"What a woman's opinion. How dare you say such a thing? Aren't you afraid that others will think the same way?" Pei Yunshan said angrily, "I don't have the ability to produce a bastard son."

Mrs. Wang was a little discouraged. No matter what, An'er's birth was an original sin.

"My lord, what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Wang softened her voice and looked at Pei Yunshan pitifully.

As expected, important matters still need men to make decisions. Pei Yunshan felt that he had the dignity of a man.

"Do you think that just driving them out of the mansion will solve the problem?" Pei Yunshan glanced at Madam Wang and said with his feet crossed, "In no time, your good son will be able to find them back by following the clues."

"Then what do you say we should do?" The Marquis's heart began to beat wildly.

Pei Yunshan sneered and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"My Lord, this won't do. An'er is our flesh and blood after all. How can a woman like me bear to kill him?" Mrs. Wang didn't expect Pei Yunshan to be so cruel. Her face flushed and she acted as if she firmly disagreed.

"You are being too soft-hearted. Only by cutting the grass and eradicating it can we cut off Shen Zhi's escape route." Pei Yunshan said with a straight face, "As the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, can't you think of a good idea? Here, there is a packet of medicine, colorless and tasteless. Let the child take it first. When he is dead, the concubine will end her life on her own without you having to think of a way."

He remembered that Liu Wan'er mysteriously took out a packet of powder last night and said that if the wet nurse took this medicine and fed it to the child, the baby would sweat profusely and die of exhaustion, but it would have no effect on adults. She also told him not to worry, because even the imperial physician could not find out the cause of the child's death.
