Fourth Miss usually did not have much grace, and if anything happened, he would ask major wife for help. When he had first schemed for Gu Yun, it was unknown whether or not he had ever imagined that there would come a day when he was able to muddle his way through Marquis Mansion to such a degree that it was undesirable for anyone to help him.

The Crown Prince's Wife wanted to protect Fourth Miss completely because of the child inside her. However, if the result was detrimental to the Eastern Palace, according to the principle of abandoning the car to protect the commander, pushing the Fourth Miss out was not impossible. Who knew what kind of rotten debt the Duke Qin and the Crown Prince had, that even the His Majesty wouldn't be able to deal with it? Only when his brain was damaged would he intervene, and even if he wanted to intervene, Gu Yun had to give him an opportunity.

In Marquis Mansion, anything that came to Gu Yun was like a dead end, although there was Xie Jingxi, she was not at the mercy of others, and if it came to her, it would be like a stone sinking into the ocean, she would not even bring it up.

Or did Gu Yun come back and ask him, "Regarding the Fourth Miss, did father talk to you about it?"

Xie Jingxi casually replied, "Father said it in such a vague way, how would I know what he's going to say?"

Gu Yun laughed, his wife's feigning ignorance was already at the pinnacle of her abilities, but in the end, Eastern Palace's matter, being confused was not really that big of a deal, because it would not be long before it was a big deal.

The Spring Festival was about to start, and everyone's attention was focused on the Spring Festival. Regarding the matter of giving Gu Heng a concubine, Lady Zeng had clearly mentioned it to him, but contrary to Lady Zeng's expectations, Gu Heng did not object this time.

She had even received Marquis's support in advance and was prepared to take a strong hand. If he did not agree, Lady Zeng would prepare to tie him up on his bed, and it wouldn't end well if he did not give her a grandson.

With Gu Heng acting in such a manner, Lady Zeng was simply overjoyed, and thought about how he should take the opportunity to add a few more girls called Yu Yan into the house, then decided to send her into Gu Heng's house. Yu Yan was sent into Lady Zeng with the Lin family's daughter-in-law's daughter, and was also a daughter of Marquis Mansion. If not for the Lin Family's daughter-in-law not being old enough, Lady Zeng originally planned to send the two of them over. However, she was afraid that Gu Heng would feel disgusted, hence she only sent one of them over to see his reaction.

Although Yu Yan was not as dignified and beautiful as a noble daughter, she was still considered a pretty lady. It was really tiring for Lady Zeng to give her away, and she kept mulling over Gu Heng's preferences, it was obvious that Gu Heng did not like her beauty that was ostentatious. It was the quiet lady called Yue Wen in the study that she favored, so Yu Yan and Yue Wen shared a similar job.

The next day, he heard from the old wet nurse in Gu Heng's room that Yu Yan had already been taken in by Gu Heng, and when Lady Zeng heard this, he was already feeling better.

The old granny saw that Gu Heng had grown up, and the degree of happiness she felt was not inferior to Lady Zeng's. "My lady is overjoyed, Second Young Master has finally been enlightened, and it is not that Second Young Master is unlucky, I think he did not meet anyone he likes. Isn't this the first time I saw Yu Yan saying that?

At first, she only wanted to send him in, so that Lady Fang could enter in a few days' time. However, she did not expect Gu Heng to be so impatient, and was afraid that it would be difficult for him to let her in. But now it seemed like it was nothing, as long as Gu Heng was enlightened, it would not make sense.

"Forget it, all of you wait on her, it's just that Yu Yan doesn't want to carry her right now, so I can let her be at ease. As long as she is pregnant, I will make the decision."

But before waiting for Lady Zeng to be happy for two days, she heard that Yu Yan was sick. Lady Zeng was suspicious, why did a healthy young lady suddenly become sick, thus Lady Zeng specially invited a doctor from his residence to go over to take a look, the result of the doctor's examination was her abdominal pain causing her to collapse, the cold energy in her body congregating to the extreme, and after prescribing a few times, she was unable to stop herself, and Yu Yan's body immediately became weak.

When the Lady Zeng got anxious, she personally went over to ask her why. When Yu Yan and the others came here to help her make the decision, she was finally willing to speak and explain the reason. After the Second Young Madam found out, she would deliver a bowl of Sterility Soup s every morning. After drinking for a few days in succession, Yu Yan's days had actually come early, not only that, her abdominal pain was so severe that she couldn't get out of bed.

Yu Yan was extremely weak, which was why she heard about it. However, this was not the whole story, because the Second Young Madam would call Yu Yan to come and serve her everyday, and in the morning, she would make kneel outside the house for an hour, and when Xie Jingqi woke up to pour tea and wash her clothes, she would do all the menial work. This was how the bruises on Yu Yan's legs came about, and if she did anything that did not satisfy the Second Young Madam, she would be beaten and scolded.

Hearing Lady Zeng's hints, Yu Yan felt that it would be better to just endure for a few days. After all, the Second Young Madam was the original wife, and as a girl who did not have a name or share, Yu Yan should be serving the Young Mistress while she lived. If Yu Yan complained to the Lady Zeng because of this, she would be being too unreasonable.

But who would have thought that it would be so serious? The Imperial Physician had always said that Yu Yan must have drunk something cold, if not why would it be so serious in the short term. The meaning behind the words was that there was something wrong with the Sterility Soup. If she were to ask if it would affect her pregnancy in the future, all the doctor said was that she would have to look at luck.

She was just a good son, how could she have the time to wait for someone to take care of her, how would she have the time to nurture her grandson? And it was obvious that it was the Second Young Madam's doing this on purpose, no one knew what she was planning, but if Gu Heng took her in to hurt someone in the future, she would be the boss, if she could not live, then they would not even be able to live, what kind of logic was that!

Lady Zeng suppressed her anger and came to the Second Young Madam's room, asking immediately, "Was it you who gave this to the Sterility Soup?"

Xie Jingqi played with her nails as she replied carelessly, "Mother, you're here. Sit down, I gave you the Sterility Soup, is there a problem?"

Xie Jingqi felt at ease, and the anger in Lady Zeng grew even stronger, "Which Sterility Soup did you give her to drink? And what did you put in your Sterility Soup? Yu Yan's abdominal pain and blood loss, did you give her the cold medicine?! "

Mother said this, which Sterility Soup did not have medicine for the cold, and she was not the only one who drank it? Others are fine after drinking it, but if she drank it, she would have a heart attack and blood loss.

Xie Jingqi had always been an impulsive person, and after listening to someone's advice this time, her words seemed to make sense. She actually couldn't get Lady Zeng to refute him, it was only natural for the young mistress to give him Sterility Soup s, especially since Gu Heng didn't have a direct son. It was normal for her to give him medicine.

Who do you think saw the medicine left in the Sterility Soup? Who can say anything without any proof?

Yu Yan's body is not feeling well, so you have to quickly ask for a doctor, she is still young and will be fine, you can't compare to me, who has given birth and is injured, no matter how good a doctor is.

"I have no objections to her bestowing Sterility Soup s on me, but I shouldn't have given her such a fierce medicine. Yu Yan is fine, but isn't she going to ruin the rest of her life just like that? If she's angry, then she's coming to blame me, how can she do such a vicious thing? Even if you didn't see the wounds on Yu Yan's body, it's not as if she could endure it until now."

could only listen to sher in a good mood. After all, Xie Jingqi was her Second Miss, unless one day she and her brother had completely broken off their relationship. Otherwise, they would have to be tied to Xie Jingqi for a whole day. Xie Jingxi knew in her heart that it was definitely because a woman in front of Xie Jingqi had received guidance from the Lady Xu that caused such a farce. No wonder the Lady Zeng was angry, if there was no proof, he definitely could not do anything to Xie Jingqi.

This was also a common method used inside the house. No matter which house's matriarch had a poisonous drug in her possession, some of it was self-made, some of it was even brought by the matriarch, and some of it had even been brought by the matriarch. It was a common method used by the matriarch, and no matter which house it was, no one would be unlucky enough to have a direct wife just because of the matriarch's death.

Yu Yan who had been brazenly given a bowl of Sterility Soup s as a reward was not really a big deal. As for the matter of doing rough work and scolding, it was only a part of it, not to mention that Yu Yan was not even an aunt, it was perfectly justified for a girl to do some work.

Even an experienced person like the Lady Zeng could not speak, when Xie Jingxi heard this, she could only say something insignificant, "It's hard for this girl, Yu Yan, to be sensible, so I had to get a good doctor to take a look, if not, I would bring her out to a remote courtyard to recuperate, and everything would wait for her to recover first."

This was the only way, and the Lady Zeng wouldn't be able to rest at ease even if it was kept in Gu Heng's room for a day. Since Yu Yan currently had no identity, he would first return to her room to take care of her for a few days, and then wait for Lady Fang to enter.

The Lady Zeng was the one who decided to bring Yu Yan back to her own house. If Gu Heng knew, she wouldn't have anything to say, but she would accept the person anyway, and without asking why, it would be peaceful and suspicious. Furthermore, the person she had recruited for a few days was someone she did not care about, and there wasn't even a single word of concern from the Lady Zeng.

Not even two days after Yu Yan was carried back, the Grandma Dagu made another trip to Marquis Mansion due to Gu Heng and Fang Wanqing. After hearing about Yu Yan's matter, she angrily threw a tea bowl on the spot and entered Second Young Madam's courtyard, preparing to take Gu Heng's wife as his wife and teach Xie Jingqi a lesson.
