May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

"You—" Xie Qianjiao pointed at her, but could no longer utter a single word.

Not fake!

Those reactions were real!

It was all real, so how come now...?

Xie Qianjiao turned her head sharply and glared at Doctor Zheng: "That was you? You killed me?!"

"Qianjiao!" The old lady pressed her temples in annoyance.

Her niece seems to be possessed.

Why would a doctor from Xinglintang want to harm her?

Doctor Zheng also had a temper. He cupped his hands and said, "I am just a doctor. I only know how to take pulses and make diagnoses. I don't understand the intricacies of high-ranking families. If Madam suspects me, I have nothing to say! In the future, the Marquis's mansion should find someone more capable!"

The old lady quickly lowered her tone and said, "You are a doctor from Xinglin Hall, how could we doubt you? It was just that we were inexperienced and spoke without thinking. We hope you won't take it to heart."

Wen Yuanshu also said, "Yes, what motive would Doctor Zheng have to harm anyone..."

She paused for a moment and said, "Dr. Zheng's pulse diagnosis that day must have been true, but I don't know... whether this pulse could be faked?"

Before Pei Zeyu could realize anything was wrong, the old lady's expression changed as soon as she finished speaking.

She too came from a wealthy and influential family, and she was well aware of the intricacies of the inner quarters. However, after so many years of comfortable living, she had simply forgotten about it.

At this moment, after Wen Yuanshu's suggestion, she suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

Doctor Zheng calmed down and said, "Madam is very sensible. Actually, changing the pulse is not difficult. If you want to make the pulse look like you are pregnant, you can do it with herbal medicine."

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Xie Qianjiao took several steps back, but Caiwei supported her. "I... how could I—"

"It wasn't me!" Xie Qianjiao suddenly turned to look at the old lady. "Aunt, believe me, it really wasn't me! I'm your own niece, how could I do such a thing!"

"I've been framed!"

"Enough!" the old lady also lost her temper.

She was overjoyed to welcome her grandson, but this was the second time she had been disappointed!

The old lady stormed off, and Wen Yuanshu sighed, saying, "Dr. Zheng, please excuse my rudeness."

Seeing her speak, Doctor Zheng's expression softened: "Very well, it's getting late, I should take my leave now!"

"Chunhua, see Doctor Zheng off."

"Yes."

Wen Yuanshu then looked at Pei Zeyu and Xie Qianjiao: "My lord, please take care of Miss Xie and let her rest. I'm going to my mother-in-law's courtyard."

Pei Zeyu nodded, his expression somewhat complicated: "Yuan Shu, it's all thanks to you."

After Wen Yuanshu left, Xie Qianjiao buried her face in Pei Zeyu's chest and cried uncontrollably.

Pei Zeyu quickly and patiently coaxed her gently, no longer caring about anything else.

No one knows what Wen Yuanshu said to the old lady that night, but the next morning, before Xie Qianjiao had even gotten up, Caiwei came over and said that a woman had come to serve her tea.

Xie Qianjiao was immediately stunned: "Serving me tea?"

Caiwei lowered her head and said in a barely audible voice, "Yes... that woman said she was the concubine the old lady had assigned to the Marquis, and she had just served tea to the madam, and now..."

Xie Qianjiao's face turned pale.

The old lady personally gave the person to Pei Zeyu...

It seems her aunt is angry.

Xie Qianjiao clenched her fists, a ferocious hatred flashing in her eyes.

Who on earth has been harming her one after another?

“Madam,” Caiwei continued, “this person was sent by the old lady, we can’t treat her poorly…”

Xie Qianjiao took a deep breath.

She naturally wouldn't dare disrespect her aunt: "Yes, let's get ready."

A moment later, Xie Qianjiao went to the main hall, forcing a smile, and accepted the tea offered by Aunt Wan.

That night, Pei Zeyu didn't come to her place.

Xie Qianjiao couldn't sleep all night.

Thinking that the new concubine might be writhing and pleasuring herself under Pei Zeyu right now, Xie Qianjiao couldn't calm down.

Unfortunately, that person was personally handed over by the old lady, so she couldn't touch him.

Xie Qianjiao took a deep breath, thinking that since it was someone the old lady had sent, Pei Zeyu really couldn't refuse to give her face, so she forced herself to relax.
