The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"In my opinion, Chunying is more suitable to be promoted to concubine." Qiuchan swallowed and blurted out all her words in one breath.

"The sisters Chunying and Chunque, one is now considered half a mistress, while the other is just a maidservant. Is Chunying truly willing to serve her younger sister?"

Her words gave Cui Ruixin a new perspective.

“But they are sisters after all. What if the two of them join forces against me after I make Chunying my concubine?” Cui Ruixin was still somewhat hesitant.

“Even if they are sisters, once the seeds of mutual suspicion are sown, how can things ever be the same as before?” Qiu Chan said with certainty.

"Besides, Madam, you are a master strategist. Even if they join forces, they would not be a match for you."

"This servant thinks we can do this..."

She shared the plans that were still in her mind.

Cui Ruixin laughed after hearing this.

"Interesting, your suggestion is quite interesting. Here you go." She took out a silver hairpin and gave it to Qiu Chan.

"I'm taking Miss to Princess Ning Le's residence the day after tomorrow, and I'll leave this matter to you."

"If you do a good job, I'll reward you handsomely. If you mess it up..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the threatening meaning in her words was self-evident.

Qiu Chan hurriedly replied, "This servant will certainly do a good job and will never let Madam down."

……

Before we knew it, the day of the family reunion banquet arrived.

After getting dressed, Cui Ruixin took her daughter and set off with the third branch of the family to Princess Ning Le's residence.

She used to be the one in charge, leading Shen Jinzhu to attend various banquets.

Now that their positions have been reversed, she is naturally extremely dissatisfied.

She deliberately mocked Shen Jinzhu.

“My third brother is currently missing and his fate is unknown. You are still taking the time to dress up today. If Mother sees you later, she will probably be angry again. Why don’t you go and change your clothes, Third Sister-in-law?”

"Today is Yaoyao's special day, and as her mother, I naturally cannot embarrass her. My sister-in-law often says that our every move represents the Marquis's mansion, and we cannot bring shame to it. Is my attire inappropriate?"

Shen Jinzhu laughed and retorted.

"My husband was only delayed for a few days while on official business. Why do you seem so certain that something happened to him and he won't be back? Could it be that you sent someone to kill him?"

"Nonsense! We're all family, how could I do such a thing!" Cui Ruixin's face changed drastically, and she blurted out.

"Yes, we're all family. Didn't you drug your husband before?" Shen Jinzhu replied indifferently.

Cui Ruixin's face turned deathly pale.

She was filled with deep regret for what she had done.

"If you bring this up again, don't blame me for ruining today's family reunion banquet." She looked at Shen Jinzhu with a gloomy expression.

"At worst, we'll fight to the death."

"As long as you behave yourself, I will keep my mouth shut," Shen Jinzhu said expressionlessly.

It was impossible not to bring Cui Ruixin, the lady of the Marquis's mansion.

Even if they have many private conflicts, in public they are all members of the Marquis's family, bound by common interests, and must present a harmonious and prosperous family image.

Cui Ruixin was speechless after being rebuked by her, and angrily got into the carriage.

Before leaving, she gave Qiu Chan a look.

Qiu Chan nodded silently.

She knew that she had to get Chunying's matter settled today.

After watching the two ladies leave, Qiu Chan went to find Chun Ying.

"Sister Chunying, please save me!" As soon as she saw Chunying, she grabbed her hand and began to cry.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Chunying was startled to see her crying so hard, her face streaked with tears.

Qiu Chan choked up as she spoke:

"Ever since Consort Chun came into the picture, Madam's temper has become increasingly volatile. She beats and scolds us all. Could you please beg the Marquis to let me come over here so that I can serve Consort Chun with you?"

Chunying shook her head helplessly: "I was only able to come here because Que'er begged the Marquis. I don't have that much influence."

"Sister Chunying, can't you really help me?" Qiuchan hugged her.

"I can't do it, I'm sorry." Chunying shook her head.

"Sister Chunying, the medicine to help with the pregnancy is ready. Please take it over quickly," a maidservant called out to her.

"Okay." Chunying nodded.

"I'm sorry, Qiu Chan."

She turned and left, hurrying to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine to her younger sister.

Watching her departing figure, Qiu Chan wiped away her tears, her face expressionless.

She's already administered the medicine; whether it will succeed or not is now up to fate.

Chunying took the medicine to her younger sister to help prevent miscarriage.

Chunque took a sip and asked, "Sister, what do the maids from the First Madam's room want with you?"

Chunying then told her everything Qiuchan had said.

“Although I can’t take her with me, sister, why don’t you talk to her for me and bribe her with some money? That way we can get information about the First Madam’s courtyard.” Chunque said thoughtfully.

"Let's forget about it. The most important thing right now is the baby in your belly. Once this child is born, your position will be secure." Chunying shook her head, intending to avoid the people in the madam's courtyard.

"Okay. I'll listen to you, sister." After drinking the medicine to help with the pregnancy, Chunque felt a little sleepy and decided to go back to bed to rest.

Chunying had the maid take the medicine bowl away, and then helped her younger sister to bed.

"Ah."

Chunque sneezed and felt a slight itch in her nose.

"Sis, can you smell anything?" She sniffed around, a little puzzled.

Chunying shook her head: "No, it smells like pregnancy-preserving medicine."

"Perhaps I smelled it wrong." Chunque shook her head and lay back down on the bed.

Chunying massaged her head as usual.

After she fell asleep, he stayed by her bedside and took a nap.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but in a half-dream, half-awake state, she suddenly heard her younger sister crying.

"Sis, my stomach hurts so much."

She woke up with a start, pulled back the covers, and found bloodstains on the bed.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go get a doctor for you right away." Chunying panicked.

The baby in their sister's belly was their only hope; if it were gone, they would be finished.

She hurriedly tried to leave the mansion, but was unexpectedly stopped.

"You do not have a pass to leave the manor, so you cannot go out."

"The First Madam isn't here, where am I supposed to get the token?" Chunying was almost in tears.

"Something's wrong with Aunt Chun's baby. I need to go get a doctor. You can't stop me."

"Well, the old lady is here. Go to her and ask for a token. Otherwise, if I let you out of the manor like this, I will definitely be punished." The gatekeeper shook his head and refused her.

Chunying had no choice but to run to the old lady's courtyard.

On the way, she met Qiu Chan.

"Sister Chunying, what happened?" Qiuchan asked kindly.

Chunying hurriedly explained what had happened.

"Don't worry, I'll go get a doctor for you." Qiu Chan took out a token.

She leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I have the First Madam's token. If you can ask the Marquis for me to let me serve Concubine Chun, I'll do it for you."

"Okay." Chunying nodded hurriedly.

At this point, she had no choice.

She could only trust Qiu Chan.

She went back into the yard.

"Sister, it hurts so much! Where's the doctor?" Chunque was in excruciating pain.

"I didn't have a token to leave the manor, so I asked Qiu Chan for help." Chun Ying felt sorry for her and wiped the sweat from her face while explaining her deal with Qiu Chan.

Chunque was in so much pain that she almost lost her mind.

They waited and waited, and Chunque suffered for a full hour, but Qiuchan still didn't come.

Chunying was frantic and could only run to the First Madam's courtyard to look for someone.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, they found Qiu Chan playing cards with other maids.
