The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

After leaving the palace, Grandma Ping went to the Qin family. With Grandma Ping's help, the Qin family quickly agreed on the wedding date with the Lu family.

The date was set on the tenth day of October, which was a good day according to Qin Xiao and Lu Ruying's horoscopes.

There are only two months left until the wedding, so time is a bit tight, but Qin Xiao is already old, and so is Lu Ruying.

Doctor Lu also hopes that his granddaughter can get married soon. There are only Doctor Lu and Lu Ruying in the Lu family, and there are only two brothers in the Qin family.

Qin Xiao suggested that Dr. Lu live together in the Qin family after marriage. At first, Dr. Lu disagreed as he felt it was unreasonable.

Later, Qin Xiao suggested that since there were no elders at home to teach them, he hoped that Doctor Lu could come and take care of them two brothers more. He would have to go to the West Camp outside the city in the future and sometimes would not be able to go home, so it would not be good to have no elders at home to take charge.

Lu Ruying also said that she didn't want to be separated from her grandfather. Doctor Lu thought that if he was not around, only his granddaughter and Qin Ting would be left at home. Although there were servants, their reputation was not good after all.

So he did not hesitate any more and readily agreed. After his granddaughter got married, he also moved into the Qin family's house.

The Qin family's house was bought with money given by Qin Wan, and it was not small.

The two families finalized everything that needed to be discussed, and the marriage went very smoothly.

Grandma Ping is also a capable person. With her helping to take care of things, Qin Xiao saved a lot of trouble.

In addition, this time Granny Ping also went to the dental clinic and helped pick out a reliable servant.

The two brothers Qin Xiao and Qin Ting are both grown men who grew up in the countryside and don't know much about the rules of the capital.

For this purpose, Granny Ping also introduced an old maid she once knew to help manage the affairs of the Qin family's inner courtyard.

The old nanny’s surname was Jiang. She used to work in the palace. Later, her master died and she was old, so she left the palace.

However, Nanny Jiang had no children, and she used to be very kind to her nephew. She sent the rewards she received from the palace to her nephew. Over the years, her nephew bought land and built a big house.

However, after Nanny Jiang left the palace and went to live with her nephew, she was driven out.

It turned out that Nanny Jiang's nephew turned against her when he saw that Nanny Jiang was no longer useful.

Granny Ping knew what had happened to Nanny Jiang, and since the Qin family was in need of a nanny who understood the rules and etiquette, she introduced Nanny Jiang.

Qin Xiao has witnessed the abilities of Grandma Ping these days and knows how important it is to have a capable nanny in the backyard.

Their Qin family really needed such a nanny. After Qin Xiao met Nanny Jiang, he felt that she was a good person, with good manners and good manners, so he kept her.

He also promised that as long as she worked hard for the Qin family, he would provide for her in her old age.

In fact, many officials and noble families were willing to invite old maids like Madam Jiang who came from the palace to their homes to teach unmarried girls, and they would pay them a lot of money.

Nanny Jiang's nephew is too short-sighted. An old nanny who came out of the palace must have some connections.

Nanny Jiang agreed to stay in the Qin family, not only because the Qin family was small in population, but also because the Qin family was the Crown Princess's maiden family.

She had been in the palace before, so she naturally knew how favored Qin Wan was and that the Qin family would surely rise in the future.

She chose the Qin family to live in her old age so that she could have a good end.

After Nanny Jiang arrived, Granny Ping returned to the East Palace.

Yichun Palace.

"Crown Princess, that's it. The Qin family's affairs have been arranged."

As soon as Grandma Ping returned to the palace, she reported to Qin Wan what she had done in the Qin family over the past few days.

It had been a month since Grandma Ping left the palace, and Qin Wan felt very uncomfortable with her absence.

"Thank you, Grandma Ping. You've been working hard these days. Take this money!"

Miaoyu carried the tray and walked towards Grandma Ping.

Granny Ping did not refuse, she also needed some money to support herself, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for the reward."

"Granny Ping, you must be tired these days, so I'll give you two days off. Come back the day after tomorrow to work!"

Granny Ping was very grateful, "Thank you, madam!"

After Granny Ping left, Miaoyin came in to report, "Your Majesty, there's news from the palace that Concubine De has given birth."

Qin Wan frowned, "She gave birth at this time, the child is only seven months old, right?"

Miaoyin nodded, "Yes, Madam, I heard from the Imperial Hospital that Concubine De is only seven months pregnant."

"She was due to give birth in seven months, but what happened?"

Miaoyin replied, "I heard that Concubine De had an argument with the newly favored Concubine Lu, and Concubine De didn't stand firmly, her feet slipped, and she fell directly. Now there are many imperial doctors guarding the Yonghe Palace!"

Qin Wan was very curious, was what happened to Concubine De an accident or was it just her bad luck?

The Emperor attaches great importance to Concubine De’s belly.

Speaking of the emperor, Qin Wan could only curl her lips.

Ever since she learned about the emperor's past, Qin Wan has despised him in her heart for a long time.

Ever since the Emperor had Concubine De, perhaps he didn't cherish her very much. He has really changed his former affectionate attitude and now dotes on all the new concubines in the harem.

Recently, Lady Lu's status has been rising step by step, to the point that she even dares to challenge Concubine De.

"Let's go, let's go to Yonghe Palace!"

"Yes, madam!"

Qin Wan went to see Concubine De, not only because she wanted to watch the fun, but also because she was the mistress of the Eastern Palace. If she didn't go at this time, it would show her concern, and the Emperor would also find fault with her.

After all, the child in Concubine De's belly is also of royal blood, and may be the prince's younger brother or sister. If the Eastern Palace does not show concern, the emperor will be suspicious.

This time, Qin Wan rejected the request of other concubines in the Eastern Palace to go to Yonghe Palace together, saying that she would go alone.

"My dear sisters, Concubine De gave birth prematurely, so there must be a lot of people gathered in Yonghe Palace. There are too many people and it will not be beautiful if too many people go there.

I will go and take a look on behalf of the concubines of the Eastern Palace, and you can just wait for the news in the Eastern Palace."

Seeing this, Su Qingyan bowed her head and said, "Yes, Crown Princess!"

Qin Wan left in a sedan chair. Zhu Lianmeng came to Su Qingyan and complained in a low voice: "Sister Su, the Crown Princess is becoming more and more domineering. Now she is restricting our actions."

Su Qingyan sighed, "Hey, who made the Crown Princess so favored! Okay, let's go back too!"

Li Peilan did not have the same little emotions as Su Qingyan and the others. She also did not want to watch a woman give birth. She did not think going to Yonghe Palace was a good thing.

Last time, Li Peilan helped Qin Wan deliver a letter to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen rewarded Li Peilan with some gifts and let her build a small kitchen independently in the yard, which made Li Peilan very happy.

When she has nothing to do now, she can ask the little palace maid who serves her to make some delicious food for her, which makes her very happy.

She now felt that if she could hold on to the Crown Princess' thigh, she would be holding on to the Crown Prince's thigh, and therefore she became extra obedient.

The Li family members outside the palace did not know that Li Peilan was in the Eastern Palace. They changed their strategy and no longer wanted to compete for favor with the Crown Princess, but chose to join her.

When Qin Wan arrived at the East Palace, many people were already there, including the emperor and Zhao Zhen.

"Greetings to Father and Mother!"

The emperor was in no mood to deal with Qin Wan, so he waved his hand and asked Qin Wan to leave.

Qin Wan didn't care. After she stood up, she came to Zhao Zhen and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here too?"
