Su Yi took a step back in shock, covering her chest and breathing hard.

Every time she took a breath, she felt a tearing pain in her heart.

She was panicked and scared, and things were getting more and more out of control.

"You...you are really attracted to Song Mingli!

"She is in Kyoto, she can get close to the rich and powerful! She also has the skills to win over concubines!

"She has a family and money, she can manage the mansion for you, and she can also let concubines give birth to children for you!

"Gu Lang, you've changed! You've become greedy! You want too much!"

Gu Qingshan held his forehead and sighed, "I want too much? You want too little? Are you willing to be my concubine?"

Su Yi shook her head in panic, "No, that's not what you said at the beginning! You said you would give me the position of legal wife! You would give me everything that Song Mingli has!"

"Then don't be anxious, don't push me anymore! Trust me, give me some time! Okay?"

Gu Qingshan frowned and looked at Su Yi, "You can't be as capable as Song Mingli, but at least you should be more obedient and sensible than her, right?"

Su Yi's face turned pale as she staggered out of Gu Qingshan's study.

As she left the yard, she saw a small figure watching her in the dark.

"Huai'er?"

"I hate you!" Gu Huai said harshly, turned around and ran away.

Su Yi stood there blankly, her heart aching.

She clenched her fists, her whole body trembling, "Gu Lang has changed his mind, I can't lose Huai'er again!"

"Huai'er, don't worry, mother will avenge you!"

The Changning Marquis's Mansion was busy preparing for the Marquis's fifth seventh banquet.

Xiao Cui learned her lesson from last time and was extra careful. She stayed in Cuiwei Residence all day to take care of her pregnancy.

Su Yi wanted to cause trouble for her, but she couldn't find her.

That day, Su Yi took Liu Ye out for a trip.

When she came back, she was obviously in a much better mood.

That night, Song Mingli had already gone to bed, but he suddenly heard several screams coming from the backyard.

Immediately afterwards, the door of Qichiyuan was knocked by a servant.

"Young Madam! Young Madam! There is a snake in Cuiweiju! Madam Cui has been bitten!" the servant shouted outside the door.

Song Mingli quickly put on his clothes and led Nanxing and Molan to Cuiweiju.

Aunt Cui leaned on Chuntao, her lips were purple, her breathing was rapid, and her eyelids were heavy.

But the master and his servant stood at the doorway, not daring to go into the house.

"Madam, there is a snake in the room! Aunt Cui was bitten by a snake!"

"The white flower snake is extremely poisonous!" Nanxing had sharp eyes and saw the swiftly swimming, slippery and cold thing.

"Take the man to the guest room first and ask someone to catch the snake!" Song Mingli ordered.

"These snakes are timid and generally won't attack people on their own initiative. Don't scare them!" Nanxing said.

Upon hearing this, the others immediately looked at Nanxing in surprise.

Nanxing slapped his head and said, "Uh, what you saw was a snake, but what I saw was medicinal herbs. Um...be careful when catching snakes, don't get bitten!"

After Nanxing finished speaking, he hurriedly chased after Aunt Cui who was being carried away and headed towards the guest room yard.

Molan led people to catch snakes in Cuiweiju.

We kept catching snakes until dawn, and then used realgar to drive them away. We only stopped when we no longer saw any trace of the snakes.

A total of five silver-ringed white-flowered snakes of different sizes were caught.

"What should we do with this snake?" The servants looked at Molan.

Molan remembered the words Nanxing whispered in her ear before he left, and she held her forehead helplessly.

"Leave it to Nanxing. She said the whole body of this snake can be used as medicine."

"She's just a little girl, and she's not afraid of snakes!"

"It can also be used as medicine? Really... really amazing!"

Even the servants were frightened by this cold, slippery thing that hissed and spit out liquid.

They could hardly imagine how Nanxing, that thin young woman, could prepare this horrible poisonous snake into medicine.

While the servants were catching snakes in Cuiweiju, the guest room was also bustling with activity.

Nanxing treated Xiaocui in the house.

Song Mingli stood outside and said, "Go and invite the prince here quickly."

No matter whether Xiao Cui was okay or not, she couldn’t risk the risk of “one corpse and two lives” in there while Gu Qingshan was sleeping soundly.

When Gu Qingshan was hurriedly rushed over by the servants, he even wore his shoes backwards.

“How come there are poisonous snakes in the house?” Gu Qingshan asked with a sullen face, “Song Mingli, how do you manage the household?”

Song Mingli raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, my lord. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

“Someone has already been bitten! How can you investigate thoroughly!” Gu Qingshan snorted, “What if something happens to Xiao Cui and the baby in her belly? What’s the point of investigating thoroughly?”

"What do you think we should do, Prince?"

“You didn’t manage your household properly! That’s why something like this happened!” Gu Qingshan glared at her, “You should take the blame and hand over the power of housekeeper!”

Song Mingli's expression remained unchanged, "When they didn't have money to hold a funeral for the Marquis, they asked me to be the housekeeper.

"After the funeral, I was asked to hand over the power of housekeeper. The prince's ability to cross the river and destroy the bridge is really admirable."

“You! That’s because you didn’t manage the household well enough! Such a huge mistake happened! That’s why I asked you to hand over the management rights!” Gu Qingshan said angrily.

Song Mingli's expression remained calm, "Since the prince came here, he has not cared about Concubine Cui, nor the baby in her belly.

"Every time you talk, you are accusing me of something. Aunt Cui is being rescued now. If she could hear the prince's voice, I wonder how sad she would be."

Gu Qingshan’s expression froze, he clenched his fists and snorted heavily.

In the room, Xiao Cui, who was being treated with acupuncture by Nanxing, closed her eyes.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and into her temples.

She heard it!

She heard it all!

"Killing two birds with one stone." Xiao Cui muttered.

"They want to harm me, and then borrow me to bring down the young lady! How can they... be so cruel?"

The more she spoke, the sadder she became, and her tears soaked her temples.

Nan Xing glanced at her and said, "Don't think too much! Pregnant women have faster blood flow than normal people, and the snake venom will work on you faster than normal people!

"Take care of your own body!"

"Nanxing! Save my child... Save him!" Xiao Cui looked at Nanxing with tears in her eyes and begged.

Nan Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I will try my best, but... it's too early in the year, and with the snake venom, it won't be easy to save you.

"You have to be mentally prepared..."

"Ah..." Xiao Cui suddenly groaned in pain and covered her stomach with both hands, "Don't... don't go, my child, don't leave me..."

She felt her lower abdomen tighten and aching.

Snake venom has a paralyzing effect, so the pain is not that obvious, but it is more of a shock.

She felt a stream of heat rushing out of her body.

"No, no..." Xiao Cui broke down and cried.

Nanxing looked at her pale face and painful tears and sighed.

She turned her wrist and needles fell on Xiao Cui's body.

The crying sounds in the room gradually died down.

After a pause, Nanxing opened the door and came out.

She looked tired.

"How is it?" Song Mingli asked.

Nan Xing sighed softly, "Aunt Cui is out of danger now. She is not in danger of death. She just needs to rest for a while. She is still young and can slowly recover."

Song Mingli understood and she sighed inwardly.

In the previous life, the baby girl was born with congenital defects.

This life...she probably feels it's too bitter, so she doesn't want to come?

“Where’s the child? He’s not alive?” Gu Qingshan stared at Nanxing.

Nan Xing glanced at him and ignored him, "Miss, I feel a little dizzy. Chun Tao and the others are here to guard us. I..."

"Go back and rest." Song Mingli patted her shoulder.

Acupuncture is a very energy-consuming job. Nanxing hadn't slept all night and his face was a little pale.

“Hey, you haven’t even finished talking yet! Why are you leaving?” Gu Qingshan said unhappily, “Song Mingli, look at your maid, what’s her attitude?”

Song Mingli called two maids from his own courtyard to guard outside Xiaocui's door.

She ignored Gu Qingshan and turned away.
