Seeing this, Qiman advised her, "This place is still some distance from Anlan Courtyard. Madam Cen, go back and rest first and find someone to take a look."

Cen Miaoxin shook her head and refused. The maid helped her sit on a stone nearby. "Aunt Qiman, I'm so grateful to you today. I will definitely come to thank you someday."

Upon hearing this, Qiman had no choice but to give up and leave with her men.

After walking a distance, a gloating voice sounded behind her, "I told you not to run around." Yinhua felt that she was simply amazing, and whatever she thought came true.

Qiman couldn't stand it any longer. "Shut up! Yinhua, if you say anything more, go back right now."

Yinhua bent her knees unconvinced and said, "Yes, I understand." She thought to herself that when she became successful in the future, she would definitely teach them a lesson.

Arriving at the gate of Anlan Courtyard, the gatekeeper was very polite when she saw that it was Miss Qiman from Qiufeng Courtyard, and invited her in. From behind a curtain, the sound of a baby's laughter could be heard.

Following Caihe into the house, Qiman knelt down and saluted.

Lu Yun waved to her, "Come quickly, my son can turn over now."

Qi Man looked at the young master lying on the bed with his head held high, and said with a smile, "The young master and the princess look even more alike."

After playing for a while, Lu Yun asked the nanny to take her son out.

Qiman then recounted what happened on the way. Hearing that Cen Miaoxin almost fell, Lu Yun frowned and said, "You're almost going to be a mother. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly."

Qiman was confused. Who was Aunt Cen thinking about?

Lu Yun simply stood up and said, "Follow me to greet them."

Yinhua's face was full of regret. She didn't see anyone today and it was all in vain that she had spent so much time tinkering with her hair and clothes.

Caihe had already noticed Yinhua's abnormal behavior today, so she simply found an excuse to send her to the small warehouse in the front yard to pick up something, so that out of sight, out of mind.

No matter what the outside of Anlan Courtyard looks like, the master cannot have a maid whose heart is elsewhere.

The group was almost halfway there when they saw Aunt Cen surrounded by people.

Lu Yun was feeling depressed, so she ordered two maids to hold Cen Miaoxin on both sides and return to Xiuzhu Pavilion.

Cen Miaoxin knew she was in the wrong and lay on the couch in silence.

Mother Chen put down her hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry, you are fine. Fortunately, Miss Qiman intervened in time to help you steady yourself. Otherwise, this fall would not be as simple as it is now."

Cen Miaoxin breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to the gloomy Princess. "I was inconsiderate and made the Princess worry about me."

Thinking of what she saw today, Lu Yun was furious when she saw Cen Miaoxin still looking lost in love.

Cen Miaoxin's eyes were filled with anticipation. "My Lady Princess, is the Hua family very lively today?"

Lu Yun said unhappily, "Well, Miss Dong's dowry weighed twenty loads and was carried in grandly through the main gate. Young Master Hua and Madam Tong were practically laughing their heads off the whole time."

Picking lotus “——”

Aunt Cen lowered her head sadly. "Really? That's great."

Good, good, good, what a good idiot! The Hua family has been taking advantage of you from the beginning to the end without any affection at all. Big socks, wake up!

But she couldn't tell this master yet, because there was no evidence to prove that, first, the child in Cen Miaoxin's belly was Hua Cheng's; second, whether Hua Cheng had anything to do with Cen Miaoxin's entry into the mansion.

Cen Miaoxin always believed that it was her own misconduct that had let down the child's father, and she felt full of guilt towards him. Don't let it end up being the child's father who had set her up in Zhou Boli's bed!

Lu Yunguang felt his fists harden just thinking about it, and he punched the mattress under him twice.

The man, who had finally finished his official duties and was planning to enjoy a warm life with his wife and children, stopped immediately when he heard the noise in the house, stood outside the house for a while before walking inside.

Liuzi: "Master, I remembered there is something I haven't done yet."

Zhou Boli squinted at him and said, "Sixth son, it's time for you to get married."

Liuzi's face flushed immediately. As soon as he turned around, he saw Miss Caihe who came back with a food box. "Haha, haha, hello, Miss Caihe."

Cai He looked at Liu Zi, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt, and was puzzled. "Liu Zi, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so weird?"

Liuzi's brain crashed and he started to babble.

Caihe still had things to do, so she said, "If you are sick, find a doctor as soon as possible. When you are well again, go and serve the master. We have masters of all ages in our yard, so we can't be careless." After that, she hurried away.

Liuzi's face turned from red to white, and he walked out of the yard with a sad look on his face.

This scene was seen by the two mothers, Chen and Dong, who were in the side room. Mother Dong winked at Mother Chen and said, "Another year has passed without us noticing, and spring is about to come."

Mother Chen also smiled and said, "Indeed, spring has come earlier this year."

After many days of investigation, Ah Da finally found some clues. Zhou Boli told his wife all the information he got, "Hua Cheng is indeed problematic. After Madam Qiong's death, Cen Miaoxin has been living in the old Cen family mansion, rarely going out. Until a year later, she met Hua Cheng at the Hua family. The Hua and Cen families are old friends. Hua Cheng happened to have a separate courtyard near the old Cen family mansion, only twenty miles away from the Cen family. According to the villagers, Hua Cheng is often seen at the Cen family, but he never stays overnight. He regards himself as Cen Miaoxin's brother and has never behaved inappropriately. Besides-"

Lu Yun rolled her eyes. "Cen Miaoxin looks ordinary and is an orphan. There's a huge disparity in status between us."

Zhou Boli tacitly agreed with his wife's statement, "Ada didn't find anything unusual in the Cen family's old house, but in the Hua family's villa, Ada found a woman's undergarment."

A small red dress embroidered with green lotus. Aunt Cen also has one. Except for the color, everything else is exactly the same.

"Hua Cheng!" Dong Pan's face was filled with anger. He threw the thing in his hand at the man's face. "You have no shame!"

Hua Cheng was caught off guard and was thrown at him. After seeing what the object was, his face changed slightly and his voice became cold. "Where did you find it?"

Seeing that her husband didn't deny it, Dong Pan burst into tears and started to cry. "It's only been a short time since I married into your family, and you've already caused such a scene. My father praised you for your sincerity and righteousness, and this is how you treat me? You have no conscience, and your whole family has no conscience!"

Cong Xi lowered his head and wiped his tears. "Madam, let's go home."

With a crisp "crack," a celadon teacup shattered at his feet. Hua Cheng withdrew his hand with a gloomy face. "Dong Pan, where did you find this thing?"

Dong Pan shuddered with fear. Seeing her newlywed husband approaching her step by step, she had forgotten to cry and shrank back. "You do such a vile thing, and you still think you're right?"

When his back hit the door, Congxi panicked. He didn't know when the door had been closed from the outside.

Dong Pan pressed his body against the door and screamed, "Hua Cheng, what are you doing? My father is General Dong and has always been on good terms with the prince. If you dare to touch me, my father will never forgive you."

Hua Cheng put his hands behind his back, his eyes sinister, "Speak!"

Cong Xi was frightened and pleaded in a low voice, "Madam, please tell me, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

A servant had already reported this to Mrs. Tong, who hurried over and slammed the door, "Cheng'er, Cheng'er, let's talk it over."
