Wang Ruofu felt even more disgusted when she saw Lin Qinshuang's weak appearance.

This woman is always good at pretending!

She nodded lightly and said no more, as if saying anything more would be a waste.

Lin Qinshuang observed Wang's expression and saw that she didn't want to say more, so she tactfully took her leave.

After leaving Weiruixuan, the tenderness on Lin Qinshuang's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of coldness.

She walked quickly towards Linqi Pavilion, her steps light as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Returning to Linqi Pavilion, a warm breath hit me in the face.

The wet nurse was holding Molan and humming a lullaby softly.

Chang Feng was playing nearby, his giggles clear and sweet.

Lin Qinshuang's heart softened instantly.

She walked to the wet nurse, took Molan, and gently kissed her daughter's pink little face.

"My dear daughter, mother is back."

Molan seemed to feel her mother's joy and also grinned, revealing a toothless smile.

Lin Qinshuang looked at her daughter's lovely appearance and her heart was filled with tenderness.

She decided to teach Chang Feng personally and never let him repeat the mistakes of the original work.

She wants her children to have a bright future.

A few days later, a piece of news exploded in the Sheng Mansion like thunder - the eldest lady Wang was pregnant!

In Linqi Pavilion, Zhou Xuenniang told Lin Qinshuang the news in a panic.

"Little lady, the eldest lady is pregnant!"

Lin Qinshuang was playing with Changfeng. When she heard the news, she stopped playing the rattle in her hand.

She raised her head and looked at Zhou Xuenniang, her eyes calm, without any ripples.

"understood."

Her voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable firmness.

Zhou Xuenniang looked at Lin Qinshuang's calm reaction and felt a little surprised.

"My dear, you..."

Lin Qinshuang put the rattle aside, picked up Changfeng, and patted his back gently.

"Xue Niang, don't worry. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

Her tone remained calm, yet revealed a strong sense of confidence.

Zhou Xuenniang looked at Lin Qinshuang and felt much more at ease.

She knew that the girl had her own ideas in mind.

A few days later, another piece of news came - the eldest lady took a concubine for Sheng Hong!

This news once again caused a stir in the Sheng Mansion.

Zhou Xuenniang ran over in a panic again to tell Lin Qinshuang.

"My dear, the mistress has taken in a concubine for the master!"

Lin Qinshuang was teaching Chang Feng to read. When she heard the news, the brush in her hand paused slightly.

She sneered and put down the brush in her hand.

"Mrs. Wei?"

She repeated the name, her tone full of disdain.

"A scholar's daughter? Even if she's too arrogant, it doesn't matter if she's pretty."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the blooming peach blossoms outside with deep eyes.

"Xue Niang, don't pay attention to them."

She turned around and looked at Zhou Xuenniang with a firm tone.

"My main responsibility now is to serve my master and raise my children well."

Her voice was powerful, full of confidence and determination.

Zhou Xuenniang looked at Lin Qinshuang, her heart full of admiration.

On a spring afternoon, sunlight shines through the window lattice and shines into the Linqi Pavilion, bringing warmth.

Lin Qinshuang was leaning on the couch, holding a book in her hand, reading with great interest.

Zhou Xuenniang walked in with a cup of hot tea and gently placed it on the table next to Lin Qinshuang.

"Girl, have a cup of tea."

Lin Qinshuang put down the book in her hand, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a fresh fragrance spread in her mouth.

"Xue Niang, have you arranged for the potatoes and sweet potatoes that the tenant farmers on the farm are growing?"

Zhou Xuenniang quickly replied, "My dear, everything has been arranged. I have planted five acres of each crop."

Lin Qinshuang nodded, a mysterious smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

"It's enough."

Zhou Xuenniang looked at Lin Qinshuang's smile and felt a little curious.

"If I don't know these things, what am I going to do here?"

Lin Qinshuang put down the teacup, a gleam of light flashing in her eyes.

"Don't underestimate these things. They can help me get rid of my status as a young lady in the Sheng Mansion, but won't let Changfeng and Molan escape the embarrassing situation of being illegitimate children."

Zhou Xuenniang was shocked when she heard this.

She stared at Lin Qinshuang with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Girl, this..."

Lin Qinshuang looked at Zhou Xuenniang's shocked expression and smiled.

"Xue Niang, you just need to remember that everything I do is for my child."

Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

Zhou Xuenniang looked at Lin Qinshuang, her heart full of admiration.

She knew that Xiao Niang was a woman with foresight.

"Please rest assured, young lady. I will manage these two farms well."

Zhou Xuenniang's tone was firm and full of determination.

Lin Qinshuang looked at Zhou Xuenniang and nodded with satisfaction.

In Mucangzhai, the air is filled with the faint fragrance of magnolia, which is sweet but not greasy and refreshing.

Wei Xiaoniang leaned against the window, her slender jade fingers gently stroking the exquisite patterns carved on the window frame, her eyes wandering with a hint of barely perceptible arrogance.

She was wearing a moon-white embroidered dress, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her skin look whiter than snow and her eyebrows and features look like paintings.

The maid Xiaodie carefully placed a cup of tea on the table beside her and whispered softly:

"Girl, have a cup of tea."

Wei Xiaoniang nodded slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a fresh fragrance spread in her mouth.

She put down the teacup, a trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

She thought of Lin Qinshuang's delicate and artificial appearance, and felt disgusted.

She disdains to be as servile and fawning as Lin Qinshuang.

She has the nobleness and pride of a scholar in her bones, and is unwilling to compromise in order to win favor.

The next morning, Sheng Hong came to Lin Qinshuang's yard.

Lin Qinshuang's yard was filled with peace and tranquility.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice and into the room, bringing warmth.

Lin Qinshuang was sitting at the table, teaching Chang Feng how to read.

Chang Feng recited in a baby voice:

"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good..."

Lin Qinshuang gently corrected his pronunciation, her eyes full of love.

"Shuang'er, the eldest lady is pregnant and has no time to manage the household. Tomorrow I will have someone bring the household management cards to you. You will help manage the household from now on."

Lin Qinshuang quickly stood up, bowed, and said respectfully:

"Thank you for thinking of me, Hiro, but this is inappropriate."

Sheng Hong was stunned:

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Lin Qinshuang explained softly:

"Although the eldest lady is pregnant, the housekeeping matters are under the help of the nanny and the steward, so it won't take much effort."

She paused and continued:

"It's better not to take the matching cards, so as to avoid the lady from worrying too much, which will be detrimental to the pregnancy."

Sheng Hong looked at Lin Qinshuang with admiration in his eyes.

He reached out and stroked Lin Qinshuang's cheek, his tone gentle:

"My Shuang'er is sensible. I wish you were my wife."

Lin Qinshuang lowered her head shyly, but she sneered in her heart.

She knew that Sheng Hong was just talking.

She was not so naive as to think that Sheng Hong would really divorce his wife and marry another woman for her.

What she wanted was never Sheng Hong's sincerity, but the power and status of the Sheng family.
