The cousin's family is extremely wealthy; she deserves to be a concubine.

The young lady went to the main kitchen to ask for some hangover soup. It was by sheer coincidence that the young master happened to be in her room, which led to the later incident of him sleeping with the wrong person.

Yuan Tiaotiao couldn't help but applaud and cheer after hearing the play. "Wenqin drank wine. Could it be that your young master also drank wine?"

They even slept with the wrong people. I think one was King Xiang who had feelings for the other, and the other was Goddess who had feelings for her.

Oh, right, there was also a pimp.

Du Juan also felt that the young master was being unfair. Her daughter had already agreed to promote two more sisters, but the young master was still so indiscriminate in his pursuit of women.

She even thought the young master was upright and respected rules.

Wenqin and Wenhua limped back to their rooms. Wenqin got what she wanted, but also incurred the displeasure of the young mistress. The first thing she thought of was naturally to find an ally for herself.

Wen Hua is now her natural ally. "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this today. Please don't blame me."

From now on, the two of us will serve the young master well, and then bear him children; that will make our lives complete.

Wen Hua couldn't bear to discourage Wen Qin, but in order to avoid trouble, she insisted on clarifying the misunderstanding from last night.

"Although you were drunk yesterday, the young master did not drink any alcohol."

I clearly remember that when I left the room, the lamp on the table was on. When the young master returned, there was no way he wouldn't have seen who was lying on the bed!

The implication is that all of this was orchestrated by Wenqin to seduce the young master, resulting in the switcheroo.

Now that Wenqin was He Zhizhang's woman, she was no different from Wenhua in every way. Her words and expressions no longer reflected her previous submissive manner.

"I was so drunk I was completely out of it, how could I possibly know what happened next?"

"Why don't you ask the young master for me why he mistook me for you last night?"

"Or, I could go directly to the young mistress and tell her how my sister kept saying yesterday that she wanted to make plans for me?"

At this moment, Wenhua also doubted whether her decision was right or wrong.

According to seniority, she arrived at Mixiang Garden before Wenqin, so Wenqin should call her "elder sister".

However, Wenqin addressed her as "sister" as she had in Yimei Garden, thus establishing their respective positions in Mixiang Garden.

This put her in a passive position, but she had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

She turned her face away, looking displeased. "I can't argue with you."

I said I'd help you yesterday, but I hadn't figured out how. Who knew you'd just jump on the bandwagon and make it official?

In this respect, I will never be able to surpass you.

I think we shouldn't get too close in the future. I'm afraid you'll betray me; I still think of you as my own sister.

Wenqin smiled radiantly upon hearing this, perhaps because she had been pampered the previous night; her face today exuded an irresistible charm.

"Whatever you say, I'll just focus on serving the young master well." His words were perfectly measured.

Asking about the painting, this is the true nature of asking about the zither.

Fortunately, she had dealt with Wenqin for many years, which is why she held back against her.

She did leave a light on last night, but it was dim and only made the person on the bed appear and disappear.

Wenqin is ambitious, and she will definitely follow the trend.

The first thing He Zhizhang would see when he entered the room was a blurry silhouette of a woman with her shoulders partially exposed and a graceful figure.

In such a tempting atmosphere, how could a normal man resist the urge to act like Liu Xiahui (a legendary figure known for his chastity)?

Besides, the young master has never been one to compromise himself.

Of course, it's true that she went to the main kitchen to get the hangover soup, but couldn't she just ask any little girl in the yard to get it?

Moreover, she had also figured out the time when the young master would leave the main house based on his habits.

On the way to get the soup, she deliberately took a detour and lingered, creating opportunities for the two to make love.

Everything went smoothly, just as she had planned.

For a long time afterward, except for the first and fifteenth of the lunar month and some special occasions, He Zhizhang almost always ordered Wenqin to serve him, and it was considered good if Wenhua could get a little soup to drink.

In the Fragrant Garden, Wen Hua is at risk of falling out of favor, while Wen Qin is gaining momentum.

The next second, she might be promoted to be a concubine, and He Zhizhang even made an exception and arranged a maid to serve Wenqin.

Why is the zither so favored?

Here we must mention He Zhizhang's little-known hobbies.

Although he had a dignified appearance, like a gentleman, his new wife, Yuan Tiaotiao, was from a prominent family, and even Wenhua, who served by Shen's side, was from a modest family and was quite conservative in bed.

Unlike Wenqin, which he later realized was probably because Wenqin had drunk some wine that day and revealed her true nature, becoming very uninhibited, and her voluptuous figure made He Zhizhang crave more.

He had been pampering her more lately, even fulfilling some of Wenqin's requests that weren't particularly rude.

He Zhizhang was quite generous when it came to the women he liked to sleep with; he didn't see anything wrong with it.

Wenqin felt that she had overshadowed the young mistress and felt that no one in the Mixiang Garden could compare to her.

Only Wen Hua, watching bowl after bowl of contraceptive soup being delivered to Wen Qin's room, quietly frowned.

Hopefully, Wenqin won't regret it later.

Inside the main room of Mixiang Garden, Dujuan complained to Yuan Tiaotiao, "That girl Wenqin, I originally thought she came from the Lady Hou's side, so she should be a sensible person."

Who knew that after receiving only a little bit of favor, it would become so arrogant.

These past two days, when I came to pay my respects, I've been making excuses and delays, making it seem like everyone in our courtyard knows that the young master stayed at her place again yesterday.

Do you think she'll become restless if she really becomes a concubine and has a son born out of wedlock?

Yuan Tiaotiao wasn't angry at all today. "No matter how high she jumps, she's still just a concubine. Before the mistress of the house gives birth to a legitimate son, no matter how much favor she receives, she won't lay an egg."

She's favored every night now, yet she can't lay a child. Even if she becomes a concubine, does she think her womb will be able to produce offspring?

Du Juan immediately recalled the words she had used to comfort Yuan Tiaotiao, and instantly understood.

But there were still some concerns: "Although that thing is harmful to the body, it's hard to guarantee that it won't cause any harm."

Yuan Tiaotiao, however, disagreed, saying, "With a body that's been hollowed out, even if I get pregnant in the future, I might not be able to give birth to a healthy son. What am I afraid of?"

Now I'm actually looking forward to her giving birth to some monstrous thing someday.

You can understand from the time you ask about Qin that how favored you are now will be just as desolate in the future.

Du Juan couldn't see any trace of girlish infatuation in Yuan Tiaotiao, and now she was completely relieved.

Seeing that Yuan Tiaotiao still seemed to have a happy expression on her face, and that she was particularly concerned about her belly today, and considering that the girl's period seemed to be delayed for several days, she realized that Yuan Tiaotiao's face was still full of joy.

Du Juan's heart filled with joy. "Miss, are you... are you pregnant with the young master?"
