g selfish After all, she is female and my only sister."“She was punished by the Beast God because she did wrong. She harmed another female and the tribe's most precious young ones. Her actions angered..."The things you're talking about are being done for me by someone else. Your chips aren't enough."

The ripples replied calmly.

"Whatever Mistress wants me to do, I will do it. As long as Mistress is satisfied!"

Mei Zhi knew she had no way out. If she really became Lin Yaozu's concubine, there would be nothing good waiting for her.

Although she was only sixteen, in those eight years at the brothel, she had witnessed much filth and corruption. Especially when she learned that the young woman who had married into the Lin family was not a lady groomed by the Marquis's household but simply a pawn that could be discarded at any time.

But now that the real young lady of Hou Mansion is missing, this eldest daughter has a chance to enter Lin Mansion. However, she overheard a conversation between Grandma Yao and Grandma Sun, and learned about their plan.

Miss is merely a pawn occupying the position of the legitimate wife in the Lin household. Once Miss recovers, it will be time for each to return to their place. As someone who knows this secret and has served Lin Yaozhu, what good can she possibly have

So she chose to rely on the mistress, first getting herself out of the situation. As for what happened next, she could only take it one step at a time.

But it was obvious that the young lady had a very clear understanding of her situation, and she had even been prepared for it long ago, so her bargaining chips were useless. She didn't know how to turn the tide in her favor.

Liàn Yī watched as Méizhī bumped her head again, and said faintly:

"You go ahead and rest first. I need a break."

"Yes!"

Mei Zhi bit her lips, then unwillingly retreated.

Mei Zhi, who was leaving, happened to run into Lin Yaozu.

Lin Ya zu's eyes lit up when he saw Mei Zhi. Ever since Lian Yi brought Mei Zhi back, he had known that she was the concubine prepared for him by the Yue family, and he was still very happy about it.

His family was powerful, his father a Minister of War. He had very high standards, especially when it came to beauty. He was almost demanding in his expectations. Only after he became an adult did he follow his friends to two brothels, where he finally tasted the flavor of women.

His new bride was a beauty, fulfilling all his desires. But he never thought there were too many beauties, especially those like Mei Zhi who were stunning and delicate. He had long wanted to taste them.

After all, the other woman was just a maidservant to Lian Yi. If he directly asked Mei Zhi to serve him, it would not only humiliate his wife but also displease his father. So he endured it. Finally, when his wife was three months pregnant, he felt that the time was ripe.

"Mei Zhi, how did you get out Where's your mistress"

Lin Yazu and Yan Yue's color asked.

The madam is a little tired and has already rested.

Mei Zhi could feel Lin Yaozu's interested gaze on her, she could only keep her head down and after replying in a low voice, she asked:

"Master, shall I wake up Mistress for you"

"No, since she's tired, let her rest. I'll go to the study and read for a while, and you can make me a cup of tea to take over there."

Lin Ya-zu heard that Lian Yi had gone to sleep and didn't go in either. There was nothing he could do anyway.

Yes, young master.

Mei Zhi gritted her teeth and replied.

When Lin Yaizu went to the study, she looked up at his back, her eyes full of disdain, then turned and went to the small kitchen.

Ripples listened to Doudou's live broadcast, her expression unchanged. She just sat cross-legged on the bed, continuing to nurture the fetus in her belly.

"Master, should I make a move"

"No need, let things take their course and see how Mei Zhi handles it."

If the other party truly doesn't want to be involved with Lin Yaozu, they would definitely find a way to avoid going to the study to deliver tea. If the other party is being insincere, then that's another story.

When Sun Mama returned to the Hou residence, she went straight to see Madam Hou.

"Grandmother Sun, what's going on She's three months pregnant, how come you didn't send the news back"

Mrs. Hou asked directly without any preamble.

"Madam, the old servant has sent someone back to deliver the message, but he has not received a reply from you and does not dare to act rashly."

Grandmother Sun felt wronged too. She was the first to spread the news, but she hadn't received any reply. As a maidservant from the back garden, newly arrived at the Minister's Mansion, she didn't have the power to control the inner house.

"Since you sent a message, and I didn't receive it, then someone doesn't want you to send it out. Is it Madam Lin or the young mistress"

Mrs. Hou frowned and asked.

Since she became pregnant, Miss has paid little attention to the backyard matters. She left everything to me to take care of, probably because of Mrs. Lin.

Grandma Sun has not been able to figure out Miss's attitude until now.

You said she knows something, right The other party hasn't made any moves to take control of them. Everyday things are still left for these maids to do.

You said she didn't know anything, right The other party wouldn't tell her anything except for food, clothing, and taking care of the baby. They also kept all the servants from the Hou Mansion who came with her dowry under their control, preventing them from having any contact with the servants of the Shangshu Mansion at all.

It was as if everyone was being drawn to her, everything under the control of the young lady, which made her feel terrified.

This time, she was able to return so smoothly because Madam Lin sent someone to the Marquis's mansion to deliver good news. Only then did the Marchioness have an excuse to let her come back.

"Forget about all that for now. Let me ask you something else. Did the young lady eat the cold and damp thing I asked you to give her before"

Mrs. Hou impatiently asked.

"After she ate, I watched her swallow."

Then how could she become pregnant so quickly According to the messenger, she must have conceived on their wedding night.

"This old slave doesn't know."

"You've been clueless about everything, what have you done being by the young lady's side"

Mrs. Hou's tone was rather unpleasant, which caused Sun Mama to lower her head even further.

"After you go back this time, come up with a way to get her an abortion."

Mrs. Hou frowned and commanded.

"This"

Grandma Sun hesitated.

You blamed her miscarriage on Lin Yaozhu's concubine, paving the way for Lianyi.

Mrs. Hou gave a direct order.

"Yes."

Grandma Sun didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal, she could only obey.

"As soon as she has a miscarriage, notify me immediately. I, as her mother, will personally go to visit her."

This time, she's going to take matters into her own hands and end her eldest daughter's chance at having a baby.

Of course, Lady Hou did not say these words out loud.

Yes, madam.

"Alright, take these things and plan out what comes next. Remember to send me a message as soon as you have something."

"Yes."

Nanny Sun stayed at the Marquis's Mansion for a stick of incense before being sent back to the Minister's residence.

Then Madam Hou went to see her youngest daughter accompanied by Old Nanny Yao.

"Ripples, how are you feeling today"

"Mother, you must have been worried. I feel much better now."

Xue Lianyi's face was pale and lusterless, like a porcelain doll that had lost its shine, giving the impression that it could shatter at any moment.

Madam Hou sat by the bed, holding her daughter's hand and carefully scrutinizing her face. Then she frowned and said:

"Ripple, haven't you been resting well Your complexion looks worse than yesterday."

"Mother, I heard that my elder sister is pregnant."

Xue Lianyi lowered her eyes and asked.

"It's just a pregnancy, it's not certain if you can give birth, you don't need to worry!" wine, rose as it was brought towards Andrew.Andrew, seeing the woman before him with her stunning beauty, devilish figure, and enigmatic aura, immediately stepped forward two paces to meet her."Miss...
