Little did they know that at this moment, Nanny Qian was kneeling in front of the main hall, tearfully telling the Fourth Prince about the grievances suffered by both mother and daughter.

"Please, Fourth Prince, help me. Princess Rouze's actions are truly against the harmony of heaven. Even as her wet nurse, I can only risk the wrath of the world by reporting her!"

As soon as the Fourth Prince came out of Rouze Courtyard, he ran into Nanny Qian and cried out that he was innocent.

Yixiu looked at the grim Fourth Prince and advised, "If you have other things to do, why not let me handle this matter!"

The Fourth Prince also had this idea. He was a man and should be doing great things outside. Why did he stay at home dealing with trivial matters for these women every day!

The Fourth Prince sipped his tea and said to Madam Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, "The inner house is still managed by the Consort Fu. If you have any grievances, please tell her!"

When Nanny Qian saw the Fourth Prince about to leave, she immediately went up to him, hugged him, and burst into tears, "Princess Rouze forced my daughter to murder Consort Fu-jin, and she was also responsible for the incident with Princess Lu."

The Fourth Prince was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he kicked Nanny Qian in the heart, causing her to spit out blood.

Yixiu was also frightened and immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Your Highness, calm down. This woman must be talking nonsense. How could my sister do such a thing?"

Su Peisheng had been following the Fourth Prince. Seeing his master's anger, he scolded Madam Qian, "The rules of the mansion are strict. How can an old madam like you be allowed to make false accusations against the master without evidence? This is a capital crime!"

Aunt Qian was in so much pain that she could hardly speak. But thinking of her daughter who was in imminent danger, she gritted her teeth, stood up, knelt on the ground and said:

"I have evidence. I was a servant of the Ulanara family. When Princess Rouze took me back from the Ulanara family, she secretly sent me a letter. The letter contained many treasonous words."

The Fourth Prince slowly calmed down after being furious.

Yes, Rouze is such a fool. She can indeed come up with such a stupid and vicious trick.

Originally, I was thinking that for the sake of the Ulanara family, since Rouze was unable to bear children, I was willing to show some mercy to Rouze, but I didn't expect this woman to be so ungrateful.

Not only did he want to kill his legitimate son, he even didn't let go of someone like Lu Yingfeng who was indifferent to worldly affairs.

The Fourth Prince is not a fool. He knows the personalities of all the wives and concubines in the mansion very well, even if he doesn't say it out loud.

Yixiu is gentle and generous, but not weak. She knows when to advance and when to retreat, and has a broad perspective. She is the perfect choice for the legitimate wife.

Li Jingyan is cute and adorable. Although she often does some stupid things, she has no bad intentions. However, because she is too stupid, she is easily provoked!

Gan Ziyun has a hot temper and is outspoken, while Qi Yuebin is deep-minded but devoted to her.

Only Rouze is the woman among all his wives and concubines who makes him speechless!

She has a good family background, but she had an affair without a matchmaker. He would rather Rouze be a servant!

She was stunningly beautiful and good at singing and dancing, but she was stupid and bad, and often did things in this mansion that were harmful to others and herself.

If she were a servant, the Fourth Prince would never marry her.

She was ugly and plain, and the Fourth Prince would never touch her or give her any hope.

If the Ulanara family didn't care about her at all, the Fourth Prince would not deliberately favor Rouze for the sake of the Ulanara family.

Madam Qian glanced at the Fourth Prince's expression and continued to plead:

"Since her last miscarriage, Princess Rouze has been unable to bear children. She promised my daughter that if she could harm the wife this time, she would make her a princess!"

The Fourth Prince slowly closed his eyes and asked, "What about Lu Gege's matter?"

Matron Qian lowered her eyes and replied, "Brother Lu's matter was a coincidence. We didn't tell anyone about Princess Lu's pregnancy, but pregnant women have many dietary restrictions. One of the matrons in our courtyard went to the kitchen to get food and noticed something was wrong with Princess Lu's meal. She told my Princess about it, and Princess Lu guessed she was pregnant too, so she devised this vicious plan!"

The Fourth Prince cleared his throat and returned to his seat with the help of Su Peisheng.

Yixiu pretended to shed tears, "Sister is really so foolish!"

Madam Qian kowtowed to Yixiu and the Fourth Prince, and continued, "It was our gatekeeper, Mrs. Liu, who discovered this!"

She took out the letter that Rouze gave her, as well as some other evidence, from her bosom.

"I am willing to die accusing Princess Rouze. I only ask that the Fourth Prince and his wife, considering that I have frankly admitted my crime, spare my poor daughter's life!"

For some reason, the Fourth Prince suddenly felt a stomachache from anger.

"You have done such evil things, and yet you still want my forgiveness! Su Peisheng, lock up these guilty slaves and call them Rouze Gege!"

Since Yixiu promised Madam Qian that she would protect her daughter, she would not go back on her word.

She knelt on the ground and pleaded with the Fourth Prince:

"I have an unwelcome request! I'm pregnant now, and I really pity Madam Qian's motherly love. They may have made a big mistake, but the child in my belly is fine. I'd rather spare Xing'er's life, which will be considered a good deed for the child in my belly!"

The Fourth Prince looked down and saw Yixiu begging him with tears on her face. Then he looked at her bulging belly and his heart softened.

Besides, Nanny Qian's motherly love really touched him. He was not raised by Concubine De, and he also envied Xing'er. Even though she was a slave of humble origin, she had a mother who loved him so much!

The Fourth Prince raised his hand and helped Yixiu up, saying, "Now that you're pregnant, don't kneel down so often! You're just a servant. You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment for living. If you don't punish her severely for such a serious crime, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. It's better to wait until this matter is settled and send her to the farm to do some hard labor!"

Yixiu nodded with emotion, "If the child in my belly knew that Father loved him so much before he was born, he would be so happy!"

The Fourth Prince had an idea and couldn't help but put his hand on Yixiu's belly. As luck would have it, he could actually feel the baby in Yixiu's belly kicking.

The surprise of becoming a father for the first time made all the worries of the Fourth Prince disappear. Like a little boy, he felt the place where the child kicked him with some panic.

"Yier, our child just kicked me! He must know his father is here! Child! I am your father!"

Yixiu was about to say something when she heard the Fourth Prince mutter to himself, "He's so strong, it must be a little prince. This is my first child. I've already decided on a name: Honghui!"

The Fourth Prince looked at Yixiu expectantly and asked, "Yier, do you think our child likes this name?"
