She stroked her flat belly and murmured, "Am I really destined to be childless?"

Lian Shiya hurriedly held her ice-cold hand and comforted her, "It won't happen, it's that old nun who spouted nonsense. Your luck is deep and deep, and you're still young. How could you hit Sans, don't be tricked by that person."

"But, for the past ten years, there has been no news of my stomach. I've even eaten the prescription for treatment, but I don't know why." The Xiao family's old patriarch sighed. His elder brother was right, Rong Xue had the incantation. If she didn't have a son, then everything would be in vain!

With a heavy heart, she returned to the prime minister's residence and sat on a sorrowful wooden chair. The originally high-spirited Madam Xiao suddenly felt sorrowful. Her hand tightly gripped the back of the chair as the veins on the back of her hand were twitching.

Why? What right did she, Xiao Xianmin, have to be doomed to be childless if she, Rong Xuesheng, were to have a son?

Nonsense!

It was all nonsense!

Seeing her unkind expression, everyone trembled in fear, not daring to make a sound.

"Madam, madam, save me …" At this moment, a cry for help came from outside.

Xiao Shi frowned as she said unhappily, "Who's howling outside and is making a ruckus? You don't find me annoying enough, right?"

A maidservant tremblingly walked in and said, "Madam, Xiuzhu is crying and wants to see you."

"Little b * tch, last time was not enough to teach you a lesson!" Let her in! "

"Yes."

Not long later, that Xiuzhu came in. Before she even got close, she knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, please save this servant."

Because her mouth was pierced by Senior Servant Zhen, and there were still bloody wounds on it, Xiuzhu couldn't speak very quickly.

"What is it?" The Xiao Clan member had an impatient expression as he asked.

"This servant's brother is dying because of a serious illness. I've already used up all the money I had in the past few days to take the medicine, so I have no other choice. I would like to ask madam to help me out so that I can take the credit for half a year's worth of my monthly allowance."

When the Xiao family heard this, they indifferently glanced at Xiu Zhu and said, "Since they are already dying, why bother?"

"Madam, this servant only has one brother …" Xiuzhu really wanted to beg for something, but Senior Servant Zhen had already walked in quickly and pulled her out. She scolded, "Lowly servant, hurry up and f * ck off!"

"My lady, save me! My lady, please save my brother's life …" Xiuzhu's weak voice was drowned out by Senior Servant Zhen's slapping voice.

"Dong mama …" Madame Xiao thought of something and called Dong mama into her room, closing the door tightly.

"Madam …" Dong mama stood to the side.

"Dong mama, all these years, I've been thinking of many ways, but I haven't been able to say anything about it. I've never mentioned this to anyone. Can you help me see why I haven't gotten pregnant yet?" The Xiao family poured out the words they had suppressed in their hearts.

"Yes, ma'am." Dong mama placed her hand on the pulse on Madame Xiao's wrist and examined it carefully. "Madame's pulse is very good, and it's very powerful. It's like a pearl on a plate; it doesn't seem to be a weak vein that can't be pregnant."

"But why …" When the Xiao family heard this, they let out a breath of relief. However, they still didn't understand.

Suddenly, Dong mama approached Madam Xiao and sniffed her nose. "There seems to be a scent on Madam's body."

"I won't hide it from you, all these years I've been using a secret formula from the palace to nurture my appearance. This pill is called Breath Forging Bead, and it is usually placed in my navel, and after a long time, it will make my face look soft and tender, my skin feel creamy, my muscles smell sweet, and I will be young and young."

In fact, other than this pill, there was another use for it. The Xiao family didn't have the face to say it directly. The Breath of Breath pill could also make a woman's lower body more solid.

Ever since she gave birth to Lian Shiya, she had always used this Breath Muscle Pill to maintain her unaged appearance, causing Lian Yanqing to be infatuated with her body.

A serious expression appeared on Dong mama's face as she asked in a low voice, "Is it convenient for Madam to show me that Breath Forging Muscle Pill?"

"I just prepared one." Madam Xiao stood up and took out a box from the headboard. She took out a pill from the box. Only Senior Servant Zhen knew about the pill; the rest of them didn't.

Dong mama took the Breath Muscle Pill in her hands and removed the silver hairpin from the top of her head. She cut the pill open and placed it on the tip of her nose to smell it carefully. Suddenly, her face turned pale with fright.

"What's wrong?" The Xiao Clan's heart skipped a beat.

I have seen this Breath Muscle Pill before. It was originally a tribute from the Western Regions and was made from expensive medicine such as musk, ginseng, and antler. It used to be popular among the ladies of the palace for a period of time, because it had the effect of perpetuating one's appearance when placed in the navel.

"Why?" The Xiao Clan's hands tightened as their faces paled …

"It's because this pill itself contains a poison. If used for too long, this poison will stay within the two meridians, and after a long time, a woman will never be able to bear it!"

"What …" Madam Xiao's entire body fell onto a chair. Her face was pale and her body was shivering.

Could it be that Mistress Tranquil Heart's words were true?

"Is there any other way to save them?" The Xiao family's old patriarch asked with a trembling voice.

"How long has the Lady been using this?" Dong mama asked.

"Ten-odd years." More than ten years ago, when she had obtained this pill by chance, she had been ecstatic. As if she had obtained a treasure, she had placed it in her navel for a long time, and the effects of the pill were indeed remarkable, to the point that even though she was comparable to the eldest wife in age, her skin was as delicate as grease, and could be broken with a blow.

Dong mama shook her head in pity and said, "More than ten years ago, that poison has already invaded every inch of his blood vessel, and there's no way to cure it."

"No, no …" From start to finish, Aunt Xiao was unwilling to believe this fact, "It can't be, there must be a way. The heavens won't treat me like this!"

She had won her beauty, but she had lost her chance to be a mother again. This exchange was too cruel! "Dong mama, don't let anyone know about this. Think of a way to prescribe some medicine to heal my body first, and then search for the secret formula to give birth. I'll definitely conceive again, I will."

Dong mama sighed inwardly, but couldn't directly say that even elixirs were useless now. She said, "I'll give it a try."

After Senior Servant Dong left, Madam Xiao paced back and forth in her room, constantly thinking about where she should go to find the secret formula for her child. She definitely wouldn't admit defeat just like that!

"If Rong Xue can have a son, so can I!" She immediately opened the door and stood at the entrance, instructing, "Senior Servant Zhen, quickly go to the kitchen and prepare the broth. I want to go over to the old master's side."

Ever since she was driven to the west yard, she had never been intimate with Lian Yan Qing. Now, other than seeking the secret recipe for survival, her top priority was to regain Lian Yan Qing's favor. Actually, what her mother said was very true, no matter what her identity was, no matter what rank she was, she had always been married.

Four hours later, the meticulously brewed broth was completed. The Xiao clan personally carried it in an exquisite blue and white porcelain bowl to Lian Yanqing's study.

The guard stood guard at the door. When he saw her, he bowed and said, "Madam."

Xiao Shi nodded and said, "Go tell the old master that I've come."

"Yes." He pushed open the door and entered.

She lowered her head to look at her makeup, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. These days, after she had deliberately taken care of herself, her body had already recovered. Furthermore, every day, she would apply pearl powder on her skin.
