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

"Yufen, I know that the Marquis and his men will never let Chanyi and her son off. I have already arranged for them in Luocheng and am just waiting to send them over." Madam Wang nodded and said, "For now, let's wait until the court doctor has finished examining them. Court doctor Liu has been in the Marquis' mansion for so many years, and he is also smart. He will definitely say something ambiguous so as not to offend anyone. In two days, I will say that the three of them have been infected and are about to die. I will take the opportunity to secretly send the three of them out of the mansion, and I think the Marquis will not suspect anything."

Three days later, in the main courtyard hall, Pei Yunshan lay comfortably in a recliner, while Shaoyao Jasmine massaged his body diligently. He just felt relaxed all over. After all, she was a young lady, soft and tender, smelling fragrant, and with good cooking skills. He wished he could take these two and put them in his own room, so as to avoid coming to Madam Wang's place every few days to see her face.

"You two go down first. The Marquis and I have something to say." Mrs. Wang waved her hand, and the two maids retreated wisely.

Pei Yunshan saw the maid go out and asked slowly, "Madam, how is it going over there?"

"My Lord, the doctor only said it looked like it, and he wasn't sure if it was smallpox. But he said if it wasn't smallpox it would be a more serious form of pox, and it's probably very contagious. Now the two adults have started to get rashes on their faces." Madam Wang bit her lip and whispered, "Fortunately the girls outside are fine, otherwise I'm afraid that once this disease spreads in the Marquis' Mansion it will be out of control."

Pei Yunshan nodded and said, "That's good. Send fewer people to Zhuxiang Garden. I think the three of them are almost there."

"Two adults can't even take care of themselves, let alone a nursing baby. Maybe An'er is gone." Mrs. Wang said in a hoarse voice while secretly wiping away her tears.

"Why are you crying? We didn't kill him. You can only blame his bad luck." Pei Yunshan said coldly, "You, don't be soft-hearted. Send all the people away quickly and find a place to deal with them without anyone noticing. Remember to burn all the people and their belongings. Otherwise, if the smallpox spreads, our Pei family might be wiped out."

"My lord, I know what's going on. I will handle the matter cleanly. When Shenzhi comes back, I will give him an explanation. It's Chanyi and her daughter's bad luck." Madam Wang said softly.

"Yes." Pei Yunshan nodded and said, "This matter must be done cleanly and neatly."

"My lord, don't worry. I have already found a place. It will only take two days. When they are almost dying, we will secretly drag them out at night and burn them, then dig deep and bury them. I guarantee that there will be no gossip." Mrs. Wang said in a deep voice.

"Okay, this is a very good solution." Pei Yunshan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and he felt very happy. This matter was handled by Wang Shi. When Shen Zhi came back, he would look for her if he had any problems. It had nothing to do with him.

What an ignorant woman and child, she was fooled by a lie about smallpox. Pei Yunshan thought, An'er just had smallpox, and it was normal for him to be infected since the two adults were locked up in a small room with no ventilation. Besides, the two women were timid and worried about the child, taking care of him day and night, and being frightened, so the symptoms seemed more serious.

But if we delay any longer, An'er might be able to recover soon. No, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, we must make a quick decision.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Wang asked in a low voice, seeing that he had a frown on his face and wondering what vicious idea he was thinking of.

"Madam, it is better to act decisively. Send them all away and burn them tonight." Pei Yunshan said sternly, "This disease is so dangerous. I am afraid that if it spreads, no one in our mansion will be able to escape."

"I will obey you, my Lord." Madam Wang showed a look of fear on her face and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I will arrange it right away."

"Madam, I have something to discuss with you. You have worked hard. Sit down and let your husband massage you." His expression changed very quickly. He was speaking harshly just now, but now he smiled gently. He took Madam Wang's hand and pressed her down on the recliner affectionately.

When Mrs. Wang saw his hypocritical smile, she knew that he must have something to ask of her. She snorted in her heart, but smiled shyly and whispered, "We are already an old couple. My Lord, just speak frankly if you have anything to say."

"Well, I'm a little short of money these days." Pei Yunshan said gently, "Madam, please help me get some money together."

He just took 10,000 taels of silver from the public account, and now he comes to ask her for money again, really thinking he is the God of Wealth. Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, she had already guessed what her husband meant.

"My Lord, didn't you just withdraw 10,000 taels of silver the day before yesterday?" Mrs. Wang asked softly.

"Why, I can't support it?" Pei Yunshan's face sank, he was a little unhappy, raised his eyebrows and said, "I just returned to Beijing, and there are still many things to take care of. Do you think Shen Zhi's smooth career is obtained for nothing? It's not me, as a father, who is working for him. Otherwise, he has been away for more than a year and has only come back. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has so many talented people around him, can he still use him?"

Mrs. Wang was more amused. He was only in his early forties, but he was already idle at home. In the past, His Majesty only gave him a free and easy supervisory job for the sake of the old marquis. He really thought he was highly appreciated by His Majesty. Now he was bragging without blinking an eye. Not to mention that he really had the ability, how could it be Shen Zhi's turn? He had already arranged for his most proud second son.

"Why don't you believe it?" Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, Pei Yunshan frowned and looked at her.

"My Lord, how could I not believe it?" Madam Wang said softly, "Shenzhi is your legitimate son after all, how could you not help him?"

"It's good that you know." Pei Yunshan looked at Madam Wang proudly and said, "The Crown Princess's father wanted to do business with me the other day. He said that silk in the south is very cheap this year. If I stock up a little, I can sell it at a good price next year."

"That's true! That's really a way to make money." Mrs. Wang's eyes showed surprise.

"How about this, you go and raise 50,000 taels of silver for me first, and I will go to Jiangnan myself in two days." Pei Yunshan said slowly.

"My Lord, I will go and raise money after I have dealt with them." Madam Wang pretended to be very interested and said, "But we still need to save some money for Shenzhi's marriage. If not, I will take stock of the dowry shop."

"Okay, we have to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be no more opportunities. Opportunities don't wait for anyone. It's an honor for our mansion that the Crown Princess's family likes us." Pei Yunshan was very satisfied with Mrs. Wang's attitude. "Do you know that the Queen's family, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, has made a lot of money in the past two years? It's all thanks to... I won't say it, you know it too."

Pei Yunshan was right. In the past decade or so, the Xiao family has been thriving, with business all over the country. There are shops in the south and north of the Yangtze River. This wealth and splendor is really enviable.

"My Lord, I know what you said, don't worry." Madam Wang nodded thoughtfully, and she was more and more certain that the money would never come back. The Crown Princess's family is not short of money, so why would they give the money to your Yong'an Marquis' Mansion? It's a big joke. When Shen Zhi comes, don't even think about getting a penny.

After Pei Yunshan left, Madam Wang called Mother Zhang and whispered, "We're going to take them out tonight. Ask them to pack up."

"The secret guards?" Mother Zhang asked in a low voice.
