This New Year is extremely difficult for many people, and the small northern barbarian troops began to probe and harass the border again. Due to the defeat of the last troop, the court fell to one side and the landlord fell. After the winter, he vomited blood from time to time, and it never got better. The princes' battle for succession also came to the fore. The political situation was turbulent, complicated, and unpredictable.

Chaos swept through the back house. Mrs. Zhao of Yong'an Bo's mansion was accused by a servant. She poisoned and killed the mistress when she was a concubine. At that time, the emperor personally ordered the Zhao family to be cut in half in the city, so that Uncle Yong'an would pass the title to his son and think about his own mistakes.Mrs. Zhang's son has been expelled from the family tree, and Mrs. Zhao's child has been beaten back to her status as a concubine. In the end, it was An Zhiyuan who avenged his mother and seized his title.

"Hua Xu, let me tell you, in fact, Zhiyuan already knew that it was Mrs. Zhao who killed his mother," Wu Xichun said in a low voice, "The evidence in the servant's hands was collected secretly by him over the years, but he couldn't bear it." Just post it..."

"Your husband is really a man of the city, I'm afraid he has been planning all these years," Jiang Mengzhen patted the back of his hand, "If you have such skills, the last time the one who secretly put red flowers in your ginseng soup How could the person who is here get away?"

Wu Xichun smiled and clapped his hands, "Bringing this matter up, I have good news! The girl ran away privately after the incident, and I gave her picture to my brother. I haven't heard from her for more than a year. I thought I couldn't catch her, but who would have thought that the city guards caught her at the gate of the city earlier this month! My brother interrogated her for many days and she didn't say anything. After this incident, I took him to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, this time I want to see how capable the so-called jade-faced Yama is, and if he fails to pass the trial, I can just laugh at him!"

"You are too mean to this little prince Ying. You don't appreciate him helping you like this."

"I was afraid of being bullied by him when I was young!" Wu Xichun replaced the exhausted tea with a new one, frowned slightly and said, "Is it surprising that after so long, I have been careful about my diet , the doctor also said that I am in good health, why is my stomach still not moving?"

Jiang Mengzhen made a secret calculation in his heart, Wu Xichun has been married to An Zhiyuan for more than five years, and now An Zhiyuan has seized the title again, and his heirs are even more important. No wonder Wu Xichun is anxious, "I think the fate has not arrived, wait until the spring Let me accompany you to the Guanyin Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to worship, I heard it is very effective."

"How did you find out about this?" Wu Xichun jokingly touched Jiang Mengzhen's lower abdomen, "Are you worried too?"

Jiang Mengzhen dodged subconsciously, and his stomach throbbed. He clutched his lower abdomen and said, "You scared me. How old are you and you are still messing around with your hands and feet!"

"I didn't use any strength at all... You, you don't have it already!"

Wu Xichun was so anxious to call the doctor, but Jiang Mengzhen held him helplessly, "I've said it all, but I was scared. You really heard that the wind is the rain."

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly Run Mo came in and replied, "My lord, Miss Li wants to see you outside."

Wu Xichun didn't react for a while, and asked in confusion: "Which Miss Li?"

"Miss Li Qingluo, Li."

"Strange, why is she here... Please invite her in."

Li Qingluo walked in very quickly. She was very delicately dressed, and her headdresses and clothes were all expensive, which was quite different from the simple and timid maids of the past. The most striking thing was her swollen belly, which fell on her thin body , looks extraordinarily exaggerated and eye-catching.

"I've seen Young Madam and Mr. Jiang." She bowed down with her belly supported, and Jiang Mengzhen looked at her quietly. When she saw her looking back without avoiding, she was secretly surprised. Seeing Li Qingluo's eyes clearly for the first time, she had never dared to look at people before, but now she has confidence for some reason, which made him look at her with admiration.

"It's really a rare visitor. It's the first time you've come back after you got married. It's better to come here often in the future." Wu Xichun said a few polite words, and then asked: "Is there something wrong here?"

Li Qingluo glanced at Jiang Mengzhen, and said with some hesitation: "I think, I'd better talk to you alone..."

"Exactly, I should go back too."

Jiang Mengzhen left with comprehension, Wu Xichun frowned and held him back, "Young Master Jiang is my best friend, just say it."

"That's not good," Li Qingluo pinched the corner of her clothes, "I also think about the young lady's face..."

"My face?" Wu Xichun bent down and hugged the meowing Xuebao into his arms, and said nonchalantly, "If you give me face, then follow my orders."

"Since this is the case, the little girl has to be respectful rather than obedient." Li Qingluo smoothed her temple hair with her hands, and said a shocking sentence in her light and thin voice: "The child in my belly belongs to the young master. I think The young lady should know."

Wu Xichun paused while touching the cat's hand, he raised his head slowly, stared at Li Qingluo for a long time, then turned his head to look at Jiang Mengzhen with a blank face, and asked word by word: "What did she say just now? "

Jiang Mengzhen was terrified, they were still discussing the child just now, and the next moment someone came to the door with An Zhiyuan's child!He held Wu Xichun's cold hand, and said calmly, "Miss Li, you can't talk nonsense, you are married as a wife, what will this statement do to you and Young Master An?"

"I'm not married at all. If I say married, I'm married to the young master..."

"You mean, An Zhiyuan lied to me, he...he kept you outside?" Wu Xichun opened his eyes suddenly, and began to tremble uncontrollably, "How could he...how dare he !"

"If I hadn't been pregnant, I would never have said it," Li Qingluo knelt on the ground with a "plop" and begged pitifully: "I know that the young lady is a good person. You gave me the shop and dowry. Thank you so much, hate me if you want, I am the one who seduced the young master, I am the one who is shameless! But my child cannot live without a father..."

She began to kowtow vigorously, her high belly squeezed into a terrifying shape, Wu Xichun was stunned and couldn't react at all, Jiang Mengzhen felt something was wrong, so she got up to stop her and said, "Don't do this, get up and talk first."

At this moment, Xue Bao, who was left out in the cold, jumped out of Wu Xichun's arms, and Li Qingluo suddenly yelled and fell back: "This cat jumped at me, help!"

"Bold beast!" A man rushed in from outside, kicked Xue Bao fiercely, leaned over and hugged Li Qingluo and said, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Hearing Xue Bao's cry, Wu Xichun rushed over and hugged the cat in his arms, "An Zhiyuan...An Zhiyuan!" When he read the name of the betrayer, his eye circles turned red, and the tears couldn't be controlled. He burst out in a controlled manner, "You are really worthy of me! You really played me around!"

An Zhiyuan held Li Qingluo in his arms. Seeing Wu Xichun crying so badly, he didn't feel guilty, but the matter had come to this point, and he had to take this step even for the sake of his children, "I shouldn't hide it from you, but you also You shouldn't let Xue Bao pounce on her! She is pregnant with my child after all, you are angry at me, don't bully her a weak woman!"

An Zhiyuan's heart was completely biased. Seeing Wu Xichun's complexion quickly turned gray, Jiang Mengzhen couldn't bear it and said: "Master An, I can see clearly that Xuebao didn't touch her at all! You How can we be sure that it was Taoyuan who wanted the cat to pounce on her?"

"Yes, young master, don't be angry. I was cowardly. Xuebao didn't attack me, really didn't attack me..." Li Qingluo grabbed An Zhiyuan's sleeve, and said with restraint and aggrievedness: "It's all my fault that I came to provoke the young lady. Angry, I came here to plead guilty. The Young Madam should treat me as she deserves, and I should bear it. I am just a cheap life, but what is the fault of the child? I just hope that the Young Madam will recognize the child. As for myself, Being able to serve the young master is already my blessing, and I have never expected any fame."

"Don't be afraid, I don't blame you for this matter." An Zhiyuan carefully helped Li Qingluo stand up, and said to Jiang Mengzhen calmly: "Young Master Jiang, we have some private matters to deal with, so we won't keep you."

Jiang Mengzhen didn't leave at first, but later lost the opportunity to say goodbye decently. He glanced at Wu Xichun, Wu Xichun nodded to him, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect such a thing to embarrass you. It's..."

"I'm not embarrassed, but some people's faces are very ugly, which opened my eyes." Jiang Mengzhen stroked Wu Xichun's back comfortingly, "If you need anything, send someone to find me."

With red eyes, Wu Xichun gave a "hmm" and watched Jiang Mengzhen go out of the house. An Zhiyuan stood next to Li Qingluo and looked at him. In all fairness, he had feelings for Wu Xichun, and even liked this prominent man very much. , a naive husband, but he will never forget that when he was imprisoned in the woodshed by his stepmother when he was dizzy from hunger, it was Li Qingluo who gave him a bowl of cold rice and stayed by his side when he was young and helpless It was Li Qingluo, not Wu Xichun, so he couldn't live up to the kindness of that meal, and he couldn't let down the weak and poor Li Qingluo.

"You don't have to think too badly about me," An Zhiyuan said, "Although I bought Qingluo a yard for her to live in temporarily, I only touched her once. I sent it to her, and she had it just once. These days, I was going to tell you, just because I was afraid that you would blame her and it would be difficult to speak up. Now she comes to plead guilty for the child, so don’t be too harsh on her Yes. Didn’t you ask me if I want to take a concubine for the sake of my children? Now there is a ready-made concubine, and you don’t have the time to choose. We will still be the same in the future, just take her in and have children. You are my real concubine. Spouse, that will never change—what have you to worry about?"
