Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Shopkeeper, things can't be solved overnight, and you shouldn't lock yourself in this meditation room every day."

On the third day after receiving the secret letter, Liu Qingqing finally couldn't sit still.

Because Jiang Lianzhu had been staying in the Zen room and had never made any move. In Liu Qingqing's view, this was the most intuitive manifestation of Jiang Lianzhu being hit by the previous incident.

For the sake of Jiang Lianzhu's health, Liu Qingqing took people to the garden to relax.

"In this season, there are so many types of flowers in the garden. I have to say that the royal family is extravagant and wasteful."

Liu Qingqing looked at the colorful flowers in the garden and couldn't help but click her tongue.

It was actually her first time to come to this place.

Previously, Liu Qingqing had been hanging around all kinds of maids for Jiang Lianzhu's purpose. The maids were all busy people sweeping the house, so how could they have time to hang out in the garden?

"Don't forget, there is a Queen Mother living here, and there is also the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Jiang Lianzhu teased with a smile.

Then I looked at the exotic flowers and plants under my feet and sighed.

"You said that every flower and plant here, and the cost behind keeping them alive in the cold winter months, can probably feed a lot of people, right?"

It is the New Year, but the gardens of the Royal Temple are full of spring scenery.

If Jiang Lianzhu hadn't seen the thick snow in front of the temple, she would have doubted her eyes.

"An ignorant country bumpkin can say such mean things to a humble-looking flower!"

Jiang Lianzhu was chatting with Liu Qingqing, but unexpectedly someone suddenly intervened and scolded them.

"My aunt is the Queen Mother of the current dynasty, the most noble woman in the world. She is just a few pots of flowers. If the huge royal temple cannot support it, then there is no need for this royal temple to continue to exist and be just a decoration!"

Xiao Xiyan was arrogant and had contempt in her eyes.

"Miss Xiao is so elegant. Didn't she never go out before? Why did she come out for a walk today?"

Jiang Lianzhu only met Xiao Xiyan on the day she entered the royal temple.

In the next few days, she never met Xiao Xiyan again.

Jiang Lianzhu originally wanted to get more useful information out of Prime Minister Qianjin's mouth, but Xiao Xiyan never left the house, so she decided to target the little master Jie Chi.

"This is my aunt's territory. I can come out for a walk whenever I like. It's none of your business!"

Xiao Xiyan hated Jiang Lianzhu the most, she hated her whenever she saw her.

Therefore, Xiao Xiyan must target Jiang Lianzhu in front of her every word, for no other reason than to be happy.

"Jiang Lianzhu, you are the strangest thing in this place! Liao Yunchuan is dead, and you don't keep your widowhood properly in the monastery. You come to me and speak dirty words in front of me. This is deliberately trying to cause trouble for me!"

"unlucky!"

Xiao Xiyan's hatred for Jiang Lianzhu was vented without any concealment.

"Having bad luck? Miss Xiao, do you mean something good is going to happen to you recently?"

Jiang Lianzhu caught the loophole in Xiao Xiyan's words.

Logically speaking, it is not a good thing for her to be forced to stay in this royal temple with the Queen Mother.

"you……"

Xiao Xiyan was suddenly choked by Jiang Lianzhu, and her eyebrows became more wary.

She looked at Jiang Lianzhu in front of her and gave them both master and servant a severe look.

"Jiang Lianzhu, I don't want to waste my time with you. It's beneath my status! You, a widow whose husband has died, are so proud of you?"

Xiao Xiyan cursed a lot, but she really wanted to stop fighting with Jiang Lianzhu.

Weird.

According to Xiao Xiyan's temperament in the past, she must have had a good fight with Jiang Lianzhu to settle the matter. Why is she suddenly so reasonable today?

The doubts in Jiang Lianzhu's heart grew bigger and bigger.

Liu Qingqing, who was on the side, suddenly reached out and touched Jiang Lianzhu's arm, indicating the direction Xiao Xiyan was leaving with her eyebrows. At this moment, Jiang Lianzhu understood what Liu Qingqing meant.

Something was indeed wrong with Xiao Xiyan.

Jiang Lianzhu stared at the back of Xiao Xiyan who was walking in front of them. The eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Palace, her steps were very clumsy and not as light and agile as before. In addition, her shoes did not fit her feet.

When this happens, there is only one possibility - the woman is pregnant.

After a woman is pregnant, her steps will naturally become heavier due to the daily changes in the fetus in her body. In addition, after a woman is pregnant, her lower limbs will swell. In this case, the pregnant woman will Need to wear bigger shoes.

After Jiang Lianzhu and Liu Qingqing looked at each other, she deliberately walked forward quickly towards Xiao Xiyan.

"Xiao Xiyan, the one who dies is the most important. Did what you just said go too far?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but want to bump into Xiao Xiyan.

At this moment, Jiang Lianzhu found that all the maids serving around Xiao Xiyan were very nervous, and Xiao Xiyan wanted to touch her abdomen in the next moment.

All these actions fell into Jiang Lianzhu's eyes. She pretended to stabilize her body, grabbed Xiao Xiyan's wrist, and caught the other person's pulse.

"Jiang Lianzhu, are you crazy?"

Xiao Xiyan shook Jiang Lianzhu's hand away as if she was electrocuted, and took two steps back.

"If I don't care about you, you should burn some incense to thank me. Now you are shamelessly following me?"

Xiao Xiyan's words were unpleasant, but they were also mixed with a hint of guilt.

The moment Xiao Xiyan pulled away, Jiang Lianzhu had already gotten the answer she wanted to know from Xiao Xiyan's pulse.

Xiao Xiyan is indeed pregnant.

In the Royal Temple, there were people from the Queen Mother who protected Xiao Xiyan. Even so, the man could still get Xiao Xiyan pregnant. The only explanation was that he had a noble status.

The only candidate who met all the conditions was the eldest prince who suddenly ran towards the royal temple for no apparent reason during this period.

Jiang Lianzhu was shocked by the result of this guess.

After all, having a child in a royal temple is really appalling!

"Shopkeeper, Xiao Xiyan just left like this?"

Jiang Lianzhu was still in shock. Liu Qingqing's words brought her back to her senses, but Xiao Xiyan had already left with others.

Sure enough, something was wrong with Xiao Xiyan.

Jiang Lianzhu was shocked when she got such news by chance, but after thinking about it, she still did not write down her suspicion that Xiao Xiyan and the eldest prince had a child in a secret letter.

However, the investigation of the eldest prince cannot stop, especially the dealings between the eldest prince and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jiang Lianzhu had written the secret letter, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Mrs. Liao, it's our fault to bother you late at night, but the abbot is seriously ill and there is no good doctor on the mountain. Please help me, madam!"
