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

Wen Yuanshu smiled slightly: "He's eager to have more children for the Marquis's family."

Bai Tong couldn't conceive, but fortunately, she had planned a miscarriage beforehand. She only said that Bai Tong's body hadn't recovered yet, so if she wanted to have children, she could only ask Aunt Wan for help.

"Spreading branches and leaves..." Bai Tong's eyes suddenly lit up. "It seems that the Marquis has completely lost faith in Pei Zhicheng?"

Wen Yuanshu nodded casually, but didn't give a definitive answer: "More or less."

Bai Tong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Madam's move is brilliant! To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit. For Madam Xie, there's probably nothing more painful than having to watch her beloved have children with someone else, isn't there?"

"I guessed so." Wen Yuanshu closed the storybook in her hand, her thoughts drifting to her past life.

In their past lives, Pei Zeyu and Xie Qianjiao were truly a match made in heaven.

The two were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little. After having a child and becoming husband and wife, they naturally became even closer and more intimate, living a life of blissful happiness.

Xie Qianjiao is also quite shrewd; she managed to keep Pei Zeyu firmly in her grasp for so many years. She originally thought it would take a lot of effort to sow discord between the two, but she never expected that a single Bai Tong would cause them to fall into such a state.

Just then, Chunhua, who had gone outside to watch the commotion, walked in with a smile.

"Hey, what interesting thing has happened outside again?" Bai Tong raised an eyebrow.

Chunhua smiled and said, "That's right! Zhang Mama went to the storeroom to get some nourishing medicinal herbs to help Miss Xie recover, but she couldn't find a single one in such a large storeroom! Zhang Mama quickly sent someone to buy some from outside!"

Wen Yuanshu chuckled.

When Bai Tong miscarried, she asked people to give Bai Tong all the nourishing medicinal herbs, including some very precious ones.

"Have you sold all those medicinal herbs?"

Bai Tong smiled and nodded: "It's a business with no investment and huge profits. I've made a lot of money!"

Pei Zeyu worked day and night, and soon, good news came from Aunt Wan's courtyard.

Upon hearing the news, some were happy and some were sad, but the old lady's feelings were very complicated, and for a moment she did not know whether to be happy or sad.

“Madam, Miss Xie has sent someone out to find a doctor. It seems she wants to recuperate so she can have another child for the Marquis’s family,” Chunhua said worriedly. “Do you think… Madam Xie might find out that she was given a drug that would prevent her from having children?”

"Of course it will."

The infertility drug will harm the body, and there will be abnormalities in the pulse.

Wen Yuanshu lowered her head and suddenly laughed.

In her past life, she devoted herself to the Marquis's mansion. Even when she felt unwell, she would grit her teeth and endure it or see a doctor arranged for her by Pei Zeyu. As a result, she only learned the truth about her infertility at the very end of her past life.

It's laughable that I was once moved by Pei Zeyu finding me a doctor, but I never imagined that it was just a means for him to cover up his evil deeds.

When she spoke again, Wen Yuanshu's voice carried a hint of coldness: "It's fine to let her know."

"How about I go and tell Zhang Mama to keep her mouth shut and not let anything slip?"

“No need,” Wen Yuanshu raised her hand. “Miss Xie isn’t stupid. Knowing that she’s been given a potion that will prevent her from having children, she’ll definitely suspect us immediately.”

Pei Zeyu's backyard was too clean, and the only person capable of taking action against Xie Qianjiao was Wen Yuanshu.

Upon hearing this, Chunhua became even more worried: "Then, Madam, what should we do?"

Wen Yuanshu said calmly, "We're just giving her a taste of her own medicine. So what if she finds out? Does she dare to expose us?"

"……that's true."

“However, we can’t just leave things unprepared,” Wen Yuanshu said, glancing around the hall. “Have someone take all the valuables out of the room, so they don’t get smashed by Miss Xie later.”

Chunhua twitched the corner of her mouth: "Madam, why are you focusing on such strange things?"

Despite saying that, Chunhua still followed the instructions and called people in, and soon the room was cleaned up.
