"Aunt, aunt, what's wrong with you?" Agate was frightened and hurried to help.

The room suddenly became a mess.

Sun was also frightened, "Quick, call the doctor."

Sun Xiaoxiao said hurriedly: "Send Aunt Chu back first."

As he spoke, he signaled to Sun with his eyes.

Sun immediately understood what Sun Xiaoxiao meant and ordered:

"Yes, yes, yes, send Aunt Chu back to the yard."

If something happened to Chu at her place, she would be held responsible, but if something happened in her own yard, it would have nothing to do with her.

The nanny behind her immediately called for people, and several old women hurriedly carried Chu Wan'er, led by Agate, to Miaowenyuan.

Watching the group of people leave, Sun's heart was in turmoil, fearing that something might happen to Chu Wan'er and she would blame it on herself.

Sun Xiaoxiao frowned, cursing Chu Wan'er in her heart for being so unpresentable and only knowing how to use these despicable means to scare people. She didn't believe that Chu Wan'er really fainted after saying a few words. This was obviously a trick. She didn't want to be made difficult, so she did this. Now it made them worried. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Chu Wan'er was hateful.

Sun sat down on the chair, still a little frightened. She looked at the nanny behind her and said, "Do you think she will be alright?"

The nanny thought for a moment and replied, "Don't worry, Madam. Nothing will happen. Madam, she just asked a few questions and did nothing else. Aunt Chu came over for less than a cup of tea. Even if something happens, it cannot be blamed on Madam."

Sun nodded in approval: "Not bad, not bad, that's right."

After hearing this, Sun felt much more at ease. She had even made up her mind that if Chu Wan'er really blamed her for something, she would protest.

Sun Xiaoxiao didn't care about that. Chu Wan'er was much more annoying than Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue is still the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion after all. She has done so many things for the Marquis' Mansion and has been a widow for several years for her cousin. But Chu Wan'er has done nothing, but she wants to be his equal right away. She even plays this trick by taking advantage of the fact that she is pregnant. It is really hateful.

"Aunt, in Xiaoxiao's opinion, Aunt Chu is not a kind person. She fainted after standing for only a short while. How could she be so weak? I'm afraid she was acting in front of aunt. She usually acted in front of cousin to make him feel distressed, but now she is acting in front of aunt. She really doesn't take aunt seriously at all."

Sun thought of Chu Wan'er's appearance when she just returned to Beijing. Her face was rosy and she didn't look weak at all. Moreover, she was the daughter of a military general. Her health might not be as good as that of a man, but it was definitely much better than that of an ordinary lady. How could she faint after standing for a while? She must be pretending, as Sun Xiaoxiao said.

She felt insulted and angry, and thought that she would punish this arrogant guy when she got the chance.

But he was afraid that she really fainted because of her pregnancy, so he instructed the maid behind him:

"Send a maid to her courtyard quietly and watch over her to hear what the doctor says."

"Yes."

Sun looked at the place where Chu Wan'er had just fallen, and suddenly her eyes widened: "Go see what that is?"

A maid came forward to check immediately, and it took a while before she replied.

"Madam, it's... it's blood."

"what……"

Sun felt her mind go blank and she couldn't utter a word.

This Chu... couldn't she have really had a miscarriage here...

Even if she had ten mouths, she still couldn't explain it.

Sun Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, fearing that her cousin would blame her.

But what she was thinking in her heart was: It would be better if she got miscarried. Why should a concubine give birth to my cousin's eldest son? Jiang Qingyue hasn't even given birth yet, so why should she?

When she thought of this, she felt happy in her heart, and heard Sun's panicked voice:

"Go, go, go quickly, go now, and see what's going on with Chu."

Sun was extremely panicked. She stood up from the chair, looked at the bloodstain on the ground, and asked the maid to clean it up quickly.

She walked back and forth in the room, looking at the maid who was cleaning, her heart in turmoil.

At this time, Sun had no idea that Chu Wan'er was bleeding due to post-miscarriage, not miscarriage.

She was anxiously waiting for the news, already wondering how she should explain it if Chu really had a miscarriage with her.

By then, the old lady will definitely skin her alive.

The more Sun thought about it, the more anxious she became. Finally, in her anxiety, the maid who went to inquire about the news came back.

The maid panted and replied:

"Madam, Aunt Chu's child is gone."

The maid knew that the lady was anxious and also concerned about the child. After some inquiries, when she heard that Aunt Chu's child was gone, she immediately came back to report.

"Ah, what did you say?"

Upon hearing the news, Sun's eyes went dark and she had to hold on to the armrests of the chair to avoid falling down.

"What do you mean the child is gone?"

Sun's mind flashed with the scene of the old lady questioning her harshly, as well as her son looking at her with disappointment. She was so anxious that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

The nanny behind her was startled. She called out to Madam Madam a few times but nothing happened. She quickly sent someone to call a doctor and helped Sun back to the bed. She then sent someone to inform the prince.

Sun Xiaoxiao also followed him in. Looking at the unconscious Sun, she knew that she might have caused a big disaster and dared not say a word.

Is this Chu made of mud?

After just a few words, the child was gone.

Although she thought so, she was still a little nervous. She would not admit her mistake anyway, and would just say it was Chu's own carelessness.

It was the aunt who asked Chu to come over, it was the aunt who asked Chu to pay her respects, and it was the aunt who asked Chu to sit down. If there is an argument, it cannot be blamed on her.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt much better when she thought about it this way.

Soon the doctor came and examined Sun. He said that it was just a case of anger attacking her heart. He prescribed some tranquilizers, and after taking two doses, she was fine. Only then did the nanny feel relieved.

Sun Xiaoxiao waited but didn't dare to leave. With such a big thing happening, her cousin would definitely come over soon.

If she left, it would seem that she was guilty; if she didn't leave, she could only explain herself and stay out of the matter.

But she waited for a long time and her cousin didn't come. She felt a little uneasy and asked her nanny to send someone out to find out something.

Soon, the maid who went to inquire came back and said that the prince heard the news of Aunt Chu's fainting first, and went to Aunt Chu's courtyard, and was accompanying Aunt Chu at this time.

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoxiao's jealousy and disgust towards Chu Wan'er reached its peak.

Today, we only lost the child, why didn’t we lose Chu as well?

She cursed viciously in her heart.

About half an hour later, Xue Feimu arrived.

Sun hadn't woken up yet, so when the nanny asked about her condition, she naturally exaggerated the situation.

Seeing that the prince was only worried and had no intention of blaming me, I felt relieved.

Seeing that Xue Feimu didn't ask what just happened, Sun Xiaoxiao felt tormented and couldn't help but speak:

"Cousin, why is Aunt Chu so weak? The death of that child is none of my business."

Xue Feimu did not hear the ambiguity in these words and replied:

"I know it's none of your business."

Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn't expect her cousin to trust her so much.

She looked at her cousin and her admiration for him deepened. She said that their childhood friendship would never disappear because of an outsider.

"Cousin, I was wrong. I will be kinder next time and not get angry with these concubines."

Unconsciously, Sun Xiaoxiao had put herself in the position of the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. Although these were soft words to admit her mistakes, she actually had other ideas behind them.

Xue Feimu didn't think too much, he looked at her and said:

"It's great that you think so. I heard that your cousin's wife suffered a lot at your hands, and now Wan'er has suffered in front of you again. Don't let it happen again next time."

One is a cousin-in-law, the other is Wan'er, the relationship between them is immediately apparent.

Sun Xiaoxiao simply ignored Jiang Qingyue in front of her, thinking that she was used as a target by Xue Feimu. The key point was the sentence at the end that told him not to bully Chu Waner. She felt a strong sense of jealousy in her heart, but she still responded obediently:

"Yes, cousin, I know."

"That's good to know. It's time for you to go back, otherwise your uncle and aunt will be worried."

Sun Xiaoxiao originally wanted to say that she would stay with her cousin in the Marquis' Mansion, but when she thought about all the things that had happened today, she decided to leave as soon as possible.

I immediately responded: "Yes, cousin, I will come to see you in a few days."

Seeing that she was obedient and well-behaved, Xue Feimu smiled and nodded at her. This smile made Sun Xiaoxiao very happy. She showed a shy expression on her face and ran away.

Seeing that Sun showed no sign of waking up, Xue Feimu asked the nanny to take good care of her and returned to Shumingyuan.

As soon as he left, Sun opened his eyes.

Sitting up from the bed, he asked, "Is he gone?"

The nanny came over to help her up: "Yes, Madam, the prince has left."

"He didn't say anything, did he?"

"Yes, the prince didn't say anything, he just asked about the wife's health."

Sun nodded and let out a long sigh.

"After all, I am his mother, and he will not become estranged from me just because of a concubine."

"Of course, there are many concubines. The prince can have as many as he wants in the future. But there is only one mother, Madam. The prince knows what's going on, Madam, don't worry."

"Yes. But the old lady..."

When mentioning the old lady, Sun frowned.

"Don't worry, Madam. The prince knows the seriousness of the matter and won't say anything. Even if the old lady knows, it will have nothing to do with you then."

Sun immediately understood what she meant, "Yes, yes, you are right."

"I have been refusing to see visitors these days, saying that I am not feeling well and cannot see anyone."

"Yes."

On the other side, Xue Feimu left the eldest wife's place and returned to Shuming Courtyard. Bai Wei waited on him and he went to bed again.

Not long after he fell asleep, someone from Miaowenyuan came to deliver a message. Bai Wei tried to stop him, but the maid yelled and woke him up.

After listening to the maid, he knew that Sun Xiaoxiao was there, and was afraid that Chu Wan'er would be wronged, so he stood up and prepared to come over.

However, when they were halfway there, they heard the news that Chu Wan'er had fainted, and changed direction, heading towards Miaowenyuan.

Fortunately, the doctor said that it was nothing serious. She just fainted due to weakness after giving birth and lack of rest, and she was also frightened.

Now that everything is fine on both sides, he feels relieved.

He slept until the evening. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Wan'er sitting beside her bed, crying. When she saw him wake up, she burst into tears.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"

Looking at Chu Wan'er's weak appearance, Xue Feimu felt distressed.

Chu Wan'er just cried and said nothing, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

Xue Feimu held her hand and comforted her:

"Mother has no bad intentions. She just wants to ask you some questions. Don't worry, even for my sake, mother won't do anything to you. You are just too nervous today.

"You are weak now and need to rest well. When you are better, you will have a child. I promise you that I will visit you more often in the future and help you give birth to our child as soon as possible."

Chu Wan'er cried like a kitten, and it was obvious that she was really sad and upset, which almost broke Xue Feimu's heart.

"If I had known earlier, I would not have come back. Wan'er and the prince are living a fairy-like life out there, and everything is fine with them.

"After I came back, I found that this mansion was so big, but there was no place for Wan'er to stay. Now the child is gone, and Wan'er can't even cry. It's really too painful."

Chu Wan'er choked up as she said this, and it made people feel sad to hear it.

Xue Feimu suddenly thought of the days when he and Chu Wan'er were outside, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Indeed, they were so free and easy when they were outside.

Those carefree, god-like days seem so beautiful when I think about them now.

Now that I'm back, everything at home and abroad is not going well, which makes me feel that the road ahead is difficult.

I even felt regretful that I should not have come back if I had known earlier.

"You have been wronged."

Hearing this, Chu Wan'er burst into tears.

"As long as the prince still thinks about Wan'er, then Wan'er will not feel wronged."

She said this, but the tears that flowed down her face expressed her sadness and sorrow at the moment.

Chu Wan'er cried sadly, and when she lowered her head to wipe her tears, what she was thinking in her heart was: How should I act in the next scene so that I can get the household goods smoothly.

In fact, she woke up as soon as she returned to Miaowenyuan, and as soon as she woke up, she heard about Jiang Qingyue handing over the household supplies.

Even when the prince personally went to Wutong Courtyard to ask her to take it back, Jiang Qingyue refused. She didn't know what Jiang Qingyue meant, but she knew that this was her best chance and she must not miss it.

After these two days, she began to understand that relying solely on the prince's favor was not enough. If she could take control of the household expenses and have power, she would be able to thrive in the rear house.

She asked for details and then dragged her frail body to Shumingyuan.

When she arrived at Shumingyuan, she found Bai Wei was not there and no one stopped her. She was very happy. This time, even God was on her side.

She must seize the opportunity.

She said so much and acted like this just to make Xue Feimu feel sympathy, pity and guilt for her, so that he would trust her with the household affairs.

She was well prepared for this matter and had already figured out how to stay out of it and achieve her goal.

Chu Wan'er wiped her tears, and tears flashed in her eyes again:

"Your Highness knows that I am the legitimate daughter of my family and was raised like a pearl by my parents since I was a child.

"Although she is not proficient in all arts, she was carefully educated. Although not very good, she is no worse than other young ladies. Before she was ten years old, she followed her mother to learn how to treat people and manage the house. She did not miss any of them.

“If I hadn’t met the prince, I would have married into a family of equal status and become a mistress who takes care of the household chores and takes care of the husband and children.

"At first, the prince also said that he was unmarried, but now..."
