It is still a little cold in the evenings in late spring and early summer.

A sedan chair was carried into the general's mansion through the small gate. Two new candles were added to the mansion, marking the entry of a concubine.

After a while, the sedan chair came down, and a pair of slender hands like soft silk opened the door. A woman in a peach pink dowry got out of the sedan chair.

Although she was covered with a veil, one could guess from her figure, her inadvertently exposed white wrists and her jade-like fingertips that there must be a stunning beauty underneath the veil.

The curtain of the sedan chair fell, and the beauty was helped into the room by the maid, and the sedan bearers carried the sedan chair away.

As soon as the door was closed, the scene changed. The beauty was no longer the reserved lady and she pulled off her veil.

She stretched herself and lazily slumped on the small couch by the window, her beautiful eyes looking at the dumbfounded little maid standing there.

"Pearl, what are you standing there for? Help me, your lady, take off all the red hairpins..."

"By the way, bring me some cakes on the round table. I'm a little hungry."

The stunned little maid finally came to her senses, and hurriedly picked up the veil on the ground, stomped her feet,

"Miss! Why did you take off your veil? Put it back on quickly. The general will come and he will be disgusted with you for being unruly!"

Xia Xizhi grabbed the veil from her hand and threw it away again.

"Stop busying yourself. The general won't be coming today. Sit down and have some cakes."

Pearl Deer's eyes were stunned.

"The general won't come to consummate the marriage with the young lady? Why? Is it the young lady who is interfering? I know she has bad intentions!"

Pearl was indignant, but then she realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly said,

"Miss, I didn't mean to say bad things about the eldest lady... I just always felt that she didn't have such good intentions. I won't say it anymore."

Xia Xizhi smiled and said,

"I know she has bad intentions."

"Miss, have you come to your senses?!" Pearl was incredulous.

"I know, but it's too late now that we've entered the general's mansion. Don't worry, I'm not a fool, and it's still unclear who is scheming against whom." Xia Xizhi blinked.

Pearl's face flushed with surprise.

"Miss! So you used to be called that word, oh, great wisdom appears foolish?? Miss, you are worthy of being a lady!"

Xia Xizhi chuckled. This little maidservant was so jumpy and it was quite interesting.

According to memory, the original owner's personal maid Zhenzhu was a good person and had advised the original owner many times. However, the original owner did not know people well and only recognized the true face of her good elder sister and mother until her death.

"Help me take off my red hairpin quickly and massage my shoulders. I'm tired."

"Okay, miss!" Zhenzhu happily started to massage Xia Xizhi.

Xia Xizhi calmed down, half-closed his eyes, and began to sort out the original owner's memories.

The original owner was the adopted daughter of Xia Shen, the Minister of Works. It was said that her biological father had done a favor to Xia Shen, but the original owner did not know what the favor was, because she had been in the Xia family since she could remember and had never seen her biological parents.

Her usual food, clothing and other expenses in the Shangshu Mansion were similar to those of a concubine's daughter, so everyone inside and outside the mansion treated her like a concubine's daughter. People outside thought she was a real concubine's daughter and didn't know she was an adopted daughter, and she also considered herself a concubine's daughter.

The original owner's elder sister, Xia Jingshu, was the wife of General Huo Qi in the General's Mansion. She had been married for two years without having any children. Several concubines in the mansion all had children, but she didn't, which made her feel very crisis-ridden.

Some time ago, the original owner's elder sister Xia Jingshu invited her to visit the general's mansion, and expressed in words and deeds that she hoped she could become a concubine in the general's mansion.

She said that in the future all the original owner's children would be born under her name, and any son she gave birth to would be the crown prince of the general's mansion.

She also said that although the original owner was a concubine, as the general's wife, she would not treat her unfairly.

The original owner was hesitant, after all, she was going to be a concubine.

Although she is the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Works, as long as she doesn't expect a match of equal status, she may be able to find a good family to be her wife.

But after repeated persuasion from her elder sister Xia Jingshu, and with tears in her eyes as she expressed that she had no children and was bullied by the concubines in the mansion, she hoped that she would come to the palace to help her.

The original owner softened his heart and finally nodded in agreement.

Because the original owner felt that if her elder sister and mother really forced her to enter the general's mansion as a concubine, she, a concubine's daughter without a biological mother, would have no way to resist, as it was her parents' order and the matchmaker's words, so she might as well accept it happily.

The most important thing is that the original owner felt that her elder sister and mother treated her well. She would get married anyway. If her child could become the legitimate daughter or the prince of the general's mansion, she would also be honored as a mother because of her child.

But the original owner didn't know that her good elder sister had planned to let her enter the mansion as a concubine, and she had no intention of letting her live.

According to the plot, the original owner died of a serious illness less than a year after getting married and giving birth to a child.

It was not until she heard the disdainful words of the maid sent by Xia Jingshu before her death that she realized that her elder sister was just using her to give birth to a child and had no intention of letting her live after the birth.

Her death was the result of the chronic poison given to her by her elder sister.

She couldn't believe it.

My elder sister has always been gentle and kind, and nice to everyone. How could she be so cruel?

After she died, perhaps because she was unwilling to give up, her soul did not leave and wandered around the world. Only then did she know the real reason.

It turned out that the person she saved in the temple was the crown prince of the current dynasty.

The prince has been secretly looking for her, wanting to take her as his concubine.

Xia Jingshu and her mother Wang Yulan had known about this for a long time and deliberately kept it from her.

It was only after they knew that the prince wanted to take her as a concubine that the two of them rushed to send her to the general's mansion as a concubine.

Because Xia Jingshu didn't want her to enter the Prince's Mansion, she didn't want the original owner to climb over her head.

Although she was a concubine, everyone knew that the prince would succeed to the throne without any unexpected events. When the prince became emperor, the concubine would at least be a concubine.

Feeling jealous, Xia Jingshu immediately sent the original owner to the General's Mansion as a concubine, blocking her way to enter the Prince's Mansion.

After the original owner died, Xia Jingshu went to find the prince with the token that the prince gave to the original owner.

She cried and said that she just found out that her own sister had saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Her sister had a miserable life and died due to exhaustion from giving birth to a child.

The prince felt very sorry and made a promise to Xia Jingshu that he could find him if he needed anything in the future.

It was not until he saw all this that the original owner completely saw Xia Jingshu's true face.

Coincidentally, a year later, the general's mansion was ransacked. The prince saved Xia Jingshu out of kindness and took her into the prince's mansion as a concubine.

Later, the crown prince succeeded to the throne. Xia Jingshu fought her way through the palace, climbing up from a concubine to a noble concubine, and finally defeated the queen and ascended to the throne.

Thinking of this, Xia Xizhi frowned slightly.

Xia Jingshu didn't give birth to a child in the general's mansion, but she gave birth soon after she arrived at the prince's mansion, which shows that she is fertile.

Moreover, she seemed to know that the General's Mansion would fall one day, so she asked the Crown Prince to promise her a favor...

The original owner's perspective was that Xia Jingshu was jealous of her and brought her to the general's mansion as a concubine, and by the way, made her a tool for bearing children. But she felt that it seemed not that simple...

Xia Jingshu must have anticipated something by not having children. Did she know that the General's Mansion would fall?

And how did she know that the prince was secretly investigating his savior?

There was no detailed explanation of the confiscation of the general's mansion, only that evidence of treason was found in the mansion.

Is there any connection between this and Xia Jingshu and Xia Chan?

......

"Miss, the general really won't come tonight?" Zhenzhu was still nervous after taking off the red hairpin and combing Xia Xizhi's long hair.

"No, don't worry. He won't come in the next few days." Xia Xizhi came back to his senses.

The mysterious General Huo was very busy every day, and the original owner only saw him five days after entering the mansion.

So Xia Xizhi is not worried at all now, as he has five days to consider countermeasures.

"How did you know that, Miss?" Pearl wondered.

"Miss, I have great powers. I figured it out just by counting on my fingers." Xia Xizhi joked.

"Wow! Miss, you are so awesome!" Pearl's round deer eyes were immediately filled with admiration.

Xia Xizhi chuckled. How could this little girl believe everything?

"Oh, young lady is so mean, she only knows how to tease me." Zhenzhu saw that Xia Xizhi was teasing her and said angrily.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Don't worry about how I know this, just listen."

Pearl nodded obediently.

Xia Xizhi stretched himself lazily.

"Someone will come to notify me soon. After they leave, have someone prepare the tub. I want to take a nice bath."

"Okay, miss. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food for you." Pearl nodded quickly.

......

Lying in bed at night, Xia Xizhi thought of something else.

In this world, the target of her mission to have a child was Huo Jin from the General's Mansion.

But after coming to the small world, I found that the boss of the general's mansion, the current general Huo Jin, and his younger brother, the second son of the general's mansion, Huo Jin, have the same pronunciation but different characters.

Who is the system talking about?

Xia Xizhi pressed his temples.

One is a cold-faced general, the other is a playboy who teases cats and dogs and flirts with widows all day long...

Normally speaking, it should be a high-ranking general?

But Huo Jin not only married, he also had several concubines who all had children. Could it be that the children were not his?

Uh...who should I give birth to?
