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

However, Wen Yuanshu waited for a long time, so long that Pei Xi came over for dinner, but Xie Qianjiao still didn't come.

Wen Yuanshu was somewhat surprised.

It seems that the confinement these past few days has made Xie Qianjiao more composed.

"Have someone go over there and keep an eye on things. If anything happens, come back and tell me."

Xie Qianjiao didn't dare to expose the matter, but based on her understanding of Xie Qianjiao, she knew that Xie Qianjiao wasn't the type to accept her misfortune.

The backyard of this marquis's mansion is about to be thrown into turmoil.

-

Since Aunt Wan became pregnant, Pei Zeyu has been taking care of Aunt Wan with all his might, just as he had taken care of Xie Qianjiao before.

As for Pei Zhicheng, Pei Zeyu no longer values ​​him as much as before.

But the last straw that broke the camel's back was the old lady.

When Consort Wan first became pregnant, the old lady didn't pay much attention to her. Instead, she treated Xie Qianjiao and Pei Zhicheng very well. But as time went by and Consort Wan's belly grew bigger day by day, the old lady's attention was drawn to her. Like Pei Zeyu, she became more attentive to Consort Wan.

From then on, it was said that Xie Qianjiao's personality changed drastically. She locked herself in the courtyard, and even the old lady disappeared.

Before long, Consort Wan was about to give birth, and Xie Qianjiao, as a concubine in the household, had to go out and show her face to show that she was taking it seriously.

After not seeing her for several months, Xie Qianjiao seemed like a completely different person. Not only had she lost a lot of weight, but her demeanor had also become somewhat gloomy, making people feel uncomfortable.

“Qianjiao…” The old lady looked at her, and even dared not recognize her.

Xie Qianjiao then forced a stiff smile, curtsied, and said, "Aunt."

The old lady was heartbroken and was about to say something when a scream suddenly rang out from inside the room, drawing her attention.

"Qianjiao, Yuanshu and I are fine here. If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. Don't overexert yourself." The old lady hurriedly left these words of concern before walking out of the delivery room.

Wen Yuanshu lagged behind, following the old lady toward the delivery room, but as she brushed past Xie Qianjiao, she was stopped by her: "Madam, you have quite the skills, managing to get Zhang Mama to work for you."

Zhang Mama was the old lady's confidante. She only got Zhang Mama's help once because she was the old lady's niece. But Wen Yuanshu had no relation to Zhang Mama, yet she was able to order Zhang Mama around and even get Zhang Mama to agree to harm her...

“Miss Xie’s methods are quite good,” Wen Yuanshu said. “If it weren’t for a coincidence, I probably would never have known that I was secretly harmed by you.”

"My only regret now is that I gave you a bowl of infertility medicine instead of poison!" Xie Qianjiao said through gritted teeth. "If I had ended you that day, I wouldn't be in this situation!"

“If Miss Xie has an afterlife, she can make up for this regret,” Wen Yuanshu said in a cold voice, “but unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this life.”

After saying that, Wen Yuanshu walked forward.

"Heh, don't get too cocky! The real show hasn't even started yet!"

Wen Yuanshu kept walking: "I'm waiting to see what Miss Xie can do."

Watching Wen Yuanshu's figure, Xie Qianjiao gritted her teeth in resentment and finally turned away in anger.

The screams from inside the house grew louder and louder, heart-wrenching and chilling to the bone.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams from inside suddenly rose a notch, and then there was no more sound.

After a while, the midwife opened the door carrying a swaddled baby, but there was little joy on her face: "Madam, Lord Marquis, Madam, it's a girl."

Upon hearing this, the old lady and Pei Zeyu exchanged a glance, and the tense and expectant look on their faces immediately disappeared.

“Take good care of Consort Wan and the young lady,” Wen Yuanshu said. “Mother-in-law, Lord Marquis, let’s go back and let Consort Wan get some rest.”

The old lady nodded, glanced at Pei Zeyu, and called him to leave together.

The mother and son returned to Songshou Courtyard and sat down together. The old lady glanced at Pei Zeyu and said unhappily, "Zeyu, look at what Qianjiao has become. Since her confinement was lifted, have you visited her even once?"
