Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

My wrist was grabbed.

"it's me."

Upon recognizing the visitor as Mo Da, Doctor Liu became impatient.

"Why is it you? Didn't I tell you not to contact me unless it's something important, so as not to give yourself away?"

"Now we have it."

"What happened?"

"The master is in trouble; he has suffered a serious knife wound."

"Where is he? I need to go and take my master's pulse."

"Don't even think about taking his pulse. I've already applied medicine to his wounds and bandaged them."

"Take a look at this prescription. The medicine was prepared according to the prescription. Yes, I'll take it back and decoct it for my master."

"Wait, weren't you sent to the Marquis of Anshun's residence by your master? How come you encountered your injured master?"

Could it be that Master is currently at the Marquis of Anshun's residence?

"Smart, the master was just saved by the Lady of the Marquis."

While speaking, Dr. Liu glanced at the prescription and saw that it was an excellent one.

"Since my master is at the Marquis of Anshun's residence, it is inconvenient for me to go and examine his pulse. He can take the medicine for now."

If anything seems amiss with Master, come to the clinic immediately. Don't delay in treating Master's injury.

"Okay, go back quickly."

The entire clinic was staffed by the master's people, so Mo Da didn't have much to explain. Doctor Liu would take care of the rest when they got back.

Qinghe Courtyard had just invited a doctor, and then the smell of medicine wafted out, so no one suspected anything; everyone assumed that Ji Yueru wanted to drink it herself.

After rescuing the person, Ji Yueru entrusted Mo Da to take care of him and asked Zhiyi to keep an eye on him from time to time, thus putting the matter aside.

"Madam, there's a note for you on the plum tree."

Zhiyi checks the bird's nest in the plum tree every night, and sure enough, she found a note in the nest again today.

"The Marquis of Anshun, Ji Chunjiao, and their twins are at the hot spring estate outside the city."

"Has the Marquis returned yet?"

"Reporting to Madam, I just went to the front yard to ask if the Marquis had returned. I also sent word back to the manor that neither the young master nor the young lady will be returning tonight."

[Mother, send someone from the Prince of Qingyang's mansion to scare them and collect some interest first.]

"Okay, Mother will listen to you."

I didn't intend to reveal their identities now, but collecting some interest beforehand is an option.

The people of the Prince of Qingyang's mansion would never have guessed that Ji Chunjiao was the mother of twins, but the fact that they did find out would certainly have given Ji Chunjiao quite a fright.

Ji Yueru picked up her pen and wrote a reply, then folded it up and handed it to Zhiyi after the ink dried.

"Put it back in the bird's nest."

Once the Yu family sees this, they will surely know what to do.

The Yu family would send people to check the bird's nest every morning and evening, and the people who went to check would bring back a reply late at night.

Madam Yu immediately understood Ji Yueru's meaning. What she couldn't understand was why Ji Yueru, who probably hated the people of the Marquis of Anshun's mansion even more than she did, didn't make the relationship between the Marquis of Anshun and Ji Chunjiao public now.

After thinking about it for a while and still not understanding, Madam Yu stopped worrying about it; she wasn't the type to get stuck on things.

"Go, arrange for someone to let the Princess Consort of the Prince of Qingyang's Mansion know Ji Chunjiao's whereabouts."

Since the death of the first heir of the Prince of Qingyang, the second son of the Princess of Qingyang has inherited the position of heir, and the second wife, Lady Lin, has naturally become the current heir's wife.

But her role as the Crown Prince's consort was rather pathetic.

Ji Chunjiao performed so well that she won the hearts of the prince and princess, and even her husband often praised his widowed sister-in-law.

This made her seem too ordinary, and she had long harbored considerable dissatisfaction.

In order to deal with Ji Chunjiao, the old lady thoroughly investigated the interpersonal relationships in the Qingyang Prince's Mansion, and Lin Shi was the best candidate to be used.

"Mingzhi, have someone make arrangements to ensure that the news reaches the ears of the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Qingyang's residence."

"Don't worry, Madam, this old servant will take care of it."

After being taken back to the Prince's Mansion by Granny Fan and Qingque, Ji Chunjiao stayed in the mansion to recover from her injuries and behaved herself for several days without leaving the mansion.

Today, the Marquis of Anshun sent a message saying that the two children were frightened. How could a mother not feel heartbroken?

He found an excuse to go out of the city to offer incense and pray for blessings, saying that he wanted to pray for his deceased husband. How could Princess Qingyang refuse?

When Ji Chunjiao left the mansion, she brought very few people with her, and they were all her trusted confidants.

Every time she went out, she dressed very modestly and traveled in a way that was completely unlike that of a crown prince's wife. Her explanation to the Princess of Qingyang was that she wanted to accumulate blessings for her deceased husband and that any extra money would be donated to those in need.

Actually, she just wanted to avoid attracting attention when traveling.

This morning, after leaving the city, she went to the hot spring resort. When she saw that the twins' faces had become thinner, she felt very sorry for them and comforted them.

The family of four had a very cozy day at the hot spring resort, and the twins temporarily forgot about the haunting in the house.

Only after giving the two children calming medicine in the evening and watching them rest could Marquis Anshun and Ji Chunjiao enjoy their own time together.

"Jiaojiao, why don't you marry me after I divorce Ji Shi? I don't want to live this secretive life anymore. Anyway, the Qingyang Prince's Mansion didn't stop you from remarrying."

Don't worry, my mother is bedridden and can't even speak properly now. She just needs the servants to look after her. She doesn't need you to take care of her personally.

Yu Xue is getting married next month. After her marriage, I will arrange an official position for Yang Xiao and transfer him far away from the capital. After that, no one will bother our family of four in the mansion anymore.

Marquis Anshun was indeed a filial son, but he also knew how difficult his mother and sister were to deal with. He hadn't wanted Ji Chunjiao to suffer after marrying into the family.

The two biggest problems have been largely resolved, and now no one can stop them from being together.

Ji Chunjiao leaned against Marquis Anshun's chest.

"Mu Feng, it's not that I don't want to marry you. Princess Qingyang is just saying nice things, but do you think she would agree if I really wanted to remarry? You're being too naive."

We rarely get to be together, so let's not talk about unhappy things.

Right now, I belong only to you, and you belong only to me.

As she spoke, Ji Chunjiao tilted her head back, her captivating eyes staring straight at Marquis Anshun.

With just one glance, Marquis Anshun was captivated; it was a feeling no other woman could give him.

He doesn't want any other women besides Jiaojiao.

He bent down and lowered his head, and a kiss landed.

The candlelight in the room was not extinguished until dawn.

Early morning, at the Prince of Qingyang's residence.

"Your Highness, Granny Xu, who went out to shop, has returned. She said she overheard some rumors about Lady Ji this morning while she was out shopping."

Lin, who had been feeling listless, immediately sat up straight.

"Let her in. I want to ask her myself."

"This old servant greets the Crown Princess."

"Tell me, what rumors have you heard about the Ji family?"

"Your Highness, yesterday this old servant heard from the servants in the manor that the First Madam went out of the city to Dajue Temple to offer incense and pray for the Eldest Young Master."

Since the death of the first prince and the succession of the second prince, Ji Chunjiao has been addressed as the First Madam within the Qingyang Prince's Mansion.

"But this morning when I was shopping in the west of the city, I heard from the Yu family's purchasing agent that they saw the First Madam in the hot spring estate area outside the city."

When the old servant heard this, he felt something was wrong. If the First Madam wasn't going to pray for the Eldest Young Master, why would she be at the Hot Spring Estate?

But whether it's true or not, this old servant isn't sure, so I had no choice but to inform the Crown Princess.
