In the morning, when Chu Ci woke up from bed, there was no one on the bed.

Looking at the messy bedding beside her and then at the neat sheets on the bed, she seriously suspected that that bastard Cang Mo was sleeping next to her.

Chu Ci stood up. Chunhua heard the sound and hurried in with warm water in her hand. "Master, are you up? I am here to help you wash up."

Chu Ci nodded, her black hair draped over her shoulders, waiting for Chunhua to wash her.

Chu Ci sat in front of the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, reached out and touched her face. It was different now than in her previous life.

Chu Ci simply dressed up, got up and sat down in the pavilion outside.

Chu Ci looked at the wisteria flowers above his head and felt as if he were in another world.

After breakfast, Chu Ci sat under the wisteria tree for a long time, slowly studying the medical book that her master had someone send her.

Chunhua stood aside. Seeing that it was almost noon, she stepped forward and had to remind him, "Master, it's almost time. Someone has asked you to go to the restaurant at noon."

Chu Ci glanced at the midday sun and realized it was almost time.

Chu Ci put down the medical book in his hand, stood up, and smiled at Chunhua. "It's almost done. I'm hungry too. Let's go. The master will take you to eat something delicious."

When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, a waiter came out to greet them. "Miss Chu, the person you're meeting is here. I'll take you there right away."

Chu Ci followed the waiter inside. When he reached the corner, he winked at Chunhua, and Chunhua immediately dodged and hid.

Chu Ci entered the private room and the waiter closed the door.

Chu Ci took a look and saw no one. Just as she was about to shout, a voice came from behind the door, "Miss Chu, I'm here."

Chu Ci turned around and saw a very beautiful woman, with a charming and seductive figure all over her body, as if she was born to seduce people.

Chu Ci crossed his arms and looked at the woman in front of him with amusement, "Miss, tell me, who are you? What do you want to talk to me about?"

The young lady helped Chu Ci to sit down at the table, then walked in front of Chu Ci and knelt on her knees. "I guess you don't know me yet, young lady. I'm Mei Niang. I was originally the mistress of that beast Rong Ziyu, and now I'm the concubine of the Duke of Rong."

"I know that the reason I was able to keep the baby in my belly and live such a good life now is all thanks to you, young lady. I am willing to be your master here and will definitely listen to you in the future."

After hearing Mei Niang's words, Chu Ci remembered that it was she who asked someone to inform the concubine. She was indeed her benefactor. Otherwise, she would definitely be in a mess now, not to mention the child in her belly.

Chu Ci nodded, "Alright, I'll accept you as my man, but let me be clear, I may not be able to help you rise to prominence."

Mei Niang kowtowed to Chu Ci, walked aside, poured the tea that had been prepared long ago, and knelt in front of Chu Ci again, "This servant pays respects to the master, please have some tea."

Chu Ci didn't answer, but looked at Mei Niang seriously, "Think about it, you are pregnant with the Duke's little master or daughter, so whatever you do is better than being a servant."

Mei Niang lowered her head, acting very respectfully, "Master, if you are worried, you can drink this cup of tea when you trust me in the future."

Chu Ci looked at the cup of tea but didn't drink it in the end.

She helped Mei Niang up and said, "Whatever you want to do, it will take time to prove it. But I can't let you treat me to peace today for nothing. How about this, I'll tell you a piece of news."

At this point, Chu Ci stood up and whispered in Mei Niang's ear, "I received news that Rong Ziyu is now inhumane. Now the Duke's Mansion will see which of you two can give birth to a boy."

"However, I've shown it to both of you. You're both boys, so it depends on which of you has the tougher method."

Mei Niang's eyes lit up, but dimmed again when she saw Chu Ci, "Master, don't worry, I won't compete with your sister."

Chu Ci glanced at Mei Niang and said, "You don't have to worry about me. It depends on your own ability. But I still have high hopes for you." Chu Ci patted Mei Niang's shoulder and left.

Mei Niang looked at Chu Ci's back, and when she thought of what Chu Ci said, her eyes lit up, "Master, don't worry, I know what to do."

Mei Niang stood up and sent Chu Cigong away, then stood there in a daze. Although she still didn't know how to get rid of the piece of meat in Chu Xiao's belly.

But she knew very well that getting rid of that piece of meat was imperative, so that she could take control of the Duke's Mansion.

After an unknown amount of time, Mei Niang walked out of the private room and helped the little maid out of the restaurant. "Let's go to the pharmacy and ask the doctor to check my physical condition and buy some medicine to protect the pregnancy."

Little Huxie looked at his master in confusion, "Master, we have a doctor at home, why do we have to go out to buy pregnancy-preserving medicine? It would be much easier if we just go back home and let the doctor see us."

Mei Niang looked at the little maid threateningly, "Cuihua, your indenture is here with me. Remember, don't say anything you shouldn't. Although I'm just a concubine, it's very easy for me to kill you."

Cuihua knelt down quickly and said, "Master, you are the only one in my heart. You know this. Not to mention, my indenture is still in your hands.

Following you, my master, even if it's just for the sake of the young master in your belly, I will definitely be able to live a good life in the future."

Mei Niang saw that what she said was true, and that he had been very attentive and loyal to her during this period, so maybe she could try to trust her.

"House doctor, who knows who the master behind him is? You forgot, she is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. Even if she doesn't want to do something, there is no guarantee that her parents won't worry about their daughter."

Xiao Cuihua finally understood and nodded, feeling that her master was really smart.

The two men found a nearby pharmacy and just as they were about to walk in, they saw a familiar figure.

Cuihua pointed at a figure not far away and reminded quietly, "Master!"

Mei Niang signaled her not to speak, and took Cuihua's hand and hid aside.

She looked at Du Juan in confusion. What was she doing here? Was there something wrong with Chu Xiao's health? But she looked so cheerful and in such a good mood!

Mei Niang looked at Cuihua beside her and said, "Take some more silver and go to the doctor later. Tell him that Dujuan bought too little and asked you to buy more."

"I'll have to see what she bought then. It's not right that she's being so furtive."
