After Mu Xingze was taken away, the second room became a mess. Overly sad, Mrs. Li cried and fainted. Mu Yunhuan took care of her in front of the bed.
Mu Zongping, on the other hand, locked himself in his room and avoided seeing him.
The happiest person in the second room is Liu Lanxin. She sat on the chair and touched her swollen belly with a contented look on her face. She had already made a plan in her mind.
Mu Xingze's crime was not trivial, and even if he could still be alive, he would still be useless. Mu Zongping's son by another concubine was less than ten years old, and he was very sick all day long. It was obvious that he would not grow up.
All he could count on was the seed in her belly, but...
Liu Lanxin didn't know what she was thinking of, and her happy face suddenly darkened again. She almost forgot that Xin Ruyi was also pregnant now. If she gave birth to a son, he would be the true legitimate son of the General's Mansion.
With this legitimate son here, what does the child in her belly mean?
Liu Lanxin took a deep breath, took out the jade pendant from her arms and rubbed it in her hands, her eyes gradually became firmer.
The life of the child in her belly is very precious, no one can stand in his way!
"lady."
The maid's voice came from outside the door. Liu Lanxin hurriedly put away the jade pendant in her hand and looked at the visitor and asked, "What's wrong? But the master is here?"
"no."
Liu Lanxin's maid was promoted after she married into her second wife. Her name was Xiao Lian. She was very shrewd and could read people's words and looks very much in line with her wishes.
Xiaolian leaned into Liu Lanxin's ear and whispered a few times, then she saw Liu Lanxin's brows move and a glimmer of light flash in her eyes: "Are you serious?"
Xiao Lian said: "When I was passing by, I overheard what the servant mentioned. I felt curious and came here to report to Madam. Why do you think Madam Xin was so helpful to a servant and kept him in the house?
"
She had a sweetheart in the palace, who happened to be working with Meng Chuan. When they were having a tryst, her sweetheart revealed that Meng Chuan didn't know Mrs. Liu and that he came to the general's house to repay the general's wife.
of life-saving grace.
Xiaolian thought Liu Lanxin didn't know about this, so she hurried over to report it.
Because Xin Ruyi was not at home, Liu Lanxin had almost forgotten about Meng Chuan. When Xiaolian mentioned it today, she suddenly had an idea.
She waved to Xiaolian to come over.
Xiaolian leaned over and Liu Lanxin whispered a few words in her ear. Xiaolian nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, I know what to do."
After saying this, she curtsied and left.
...
Shen Mansion.
Due to excessive blood loss, Shen Wanyue lay in bed for three days before she woke up. However, when she woke up, she heard that the prince had been deposed and imprisoned for life.
When she heard the news, her hanging heart finally dropped. She was just glad that she didn't have to marry the prince, but she didn't expect that an imperial edict caught her off guard.
The prince was deposed, but Shen Wanyue was already the prince's woman after all. His Majesty graciously issued an imperial edict to let Shen Wanyue, who was engaged to the prince, accompany the prince to Nangong.
Shen Wanyue was so frightened that she fainted again after hearing the news. When she woke up again, she saw her mother guarding her.
