The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

Xiaolan saw that Yin Fengyu had fallen asleep, so she gently placed Yin Fengyu into the pear wood cradle that had just been delivered.

Yin Fengyu is still an infant, her chubby little hands clutching the swaddling clothes wrapped around her body, her brows furrowed, and she is not sleeping peacefully at all.

Xiaolan moved a stool and sat down next to the cradle, watching Yin Fengyu fall asleep while fanning herself and dozing off.

Qing Shui and Qing Yin, who were standing nearby, walked over to Xiao Lan and whispered, "Aunt Xiao Lan, let's watch over the Sixth Miss! You go and sleep on the small bed over there for a while."

Xiaolan thought for a moment and realized that no, only a few people knew the Sixth Miss's current identity, and she couldn't let anyone else know. The more people who knew, the easier it would be for something to go wrong.

So he quickly refused, saying, "No, you can all leave! I will take care of Sixth Miss."

Shimizu and Shion quickly bowed and then quietly withdrew.

Yimei Courtyard has returned to calm, but the concubines in the other two courtyards are not so calm. Those two concubines are like ants on a hot pan, eager to know what is happening in Yimei Courtyard and Yiju Courtyard.

At this moment, Aunt Feng, who was in the courtyard, was pacing anxiously around the house, constantly sending people out to inquire about the situation.

Not long after, Feng's personal maid, Xiaoping, rushed in. Feng, panting, said, "Auntie, Madam is really keeping a close watch on Yiju Courtyard. This servant really can't find out any information."

But I saw that Granny Zhou was carrying an infant when she returned to Yimei Courtyard with Madam.

After listening to Xiaoping's words, Madam Feng pondered for a moment, then sat on the low couch and rubbed her swollen brows with her delicate hands, saying, "Seeing that Madam Li gave birth to a girl, if it were a boy, Madam would definitely not bring the child to Yimei Courtyard. Madam will probably raise that vixen's daughter herself."

Xiaoping asked with a puzzled look, "How could that be? Madam and that Concubine Li have never paid more than their share. Why would Madam raise Concubine Li's child? If anyone should be raising a child, it should be our Third Miss and Fifth Miss."

A hint of malice flashed in Feng's tired eyes as she whispered, "Aunt Li is also useless. She could have competed with Zhang if she had given birth to another son, relying on the master's favor."

Now that she's given birth to a daughter, and from the brothel, she has no connections and no influence. She'll likely be manipulated by Zhang Shi in every way from now on.

Xiaoping stepped forward and massaged Aunt Feng's shoulders while asking, "Aunt, what does this have to do with us? We just need to live our own lives."

Fengshi, holding the handkerchief in her hand, said, "Foolish, it's a good thing for us that Zhangshi and Aunt Li are fighting. These days, Master comes to my room less and less often. He used to love the peace and quiet here the most."

If those two start fighting, it will definitely annoy the master, and then I'll have a chance to compete for his favor and secure a better future for my two daughters.

Zhang was ruthless; otherwise, she wouldn't have resorted to such means to have Wang's child adopted by her uncle Yin Teng's lineage.

Now, of the six children in the household, three are legitimate children, and they will surely have a good future. My two children are illegitimate children, and they are girls. Given Zhang's ruthlessness, my two children will surely end up like me, married off as concubines. Therefore, I must fight for them.

But now that Aunt Li has given birth to a daughter, we have no choice but to remain inactive and secretly wait for an opportunity to act.

Xiaoping said, "We still need the Sixth Miss. She's also born out of wedlock. Aren't we being too worried?"

Feng Shi picked up her teacup, took a sip of cold tea, and said, "Xiaoping, you are the one I brought back from my maternal home. How come you haven't grown up at all? The sixth young lady's birth mother is favored. If she were raised under the care of her stepmother Zhang Shi, she would be considered half a legitimate daughter. When she gets married in the future, Zhang Shi will find a good family for the sixth young lady to save face."

My poor third and fifth daughters will probably end up like me, carried in a sedan chair by their stepmother to become someone else's concubines.

The more Feng thought about it, the more agitated she became. She stood up abruptly and said, "No, I will not let my daughter repeat my mistakes. Even if it means doing something shady, I will make sure my daughter has a grand and glorious wedding."
