When Cui Da and Cui Er were brought into the South Courtyard by Cui Niang, it was already noon. After returning to the capital with the Fourth Prince, they had been idle at home. The Fourth Prince intended to have Cui Da and Cui Er come in as his personal guards, but they were not bound by the rules of the Prince's Mansion and had not come for a long time.

"Greetings to Consort Lanqin!" Cui Da and Cui Er were entering the South Courtyard for the first time, and they hurriedly helped Lanqin with her luggage.

Lanqin was playing with the Bechuk in the maid's hand, while Ushiha was being led around by the maids.

"Cui Niang, please have your two brothers sit down. We'll eat together later," Lan Qin said with a smile. She really liked the Cui brothers' straightforwardness, especially Cui Da.

"I don't want to sit. I just want to play with the little princess, is that okay?" Cui Da said directly.

“Of course. Just don’t bother her.” Lanqin immediately smiled. Cui Niang, who was standing to the side, hurriedly said to her elder brother, “With your clumsy hands, you might hurt our Fifth Princess.”

Cui Er followed behind and laughed, "Don't worry, little sister, your big brother is very attentive to children."

After saying that, the two men went to tease Ushiha and Bechuk.

Lanqin asked Cui Niang, "Did you tell them what you asked them to do?"

Cui Niang said, "I already told you, when my eldest and second brothers heard that someone was trying to harm our master, they immediately wanted to come with me. Besides, it's just some superstitious stuff, which they can easily pull off."

Lanqin nodded and then discussed with Cui Niang when it would be best to carry out the plan.

After speaking, Lanqin thought of Madam Song and said worriedly, "I wonder how the eldest princess's childbirth went. Sister Song left the manor yesterday and hasn't returned yet. It's quite worrying."

After putting her hands together and reciting "Amitabha," Cui Niang comforted Lan Qin, saying, "I think the eldest princess is a blessed person and will definitely give birth to the child safely."

Lanqin knew in her heart that childbirth in ancient times was like a brush with death for women. Medical conditions were poor, and doctors mostly relied on midwives. Song Shi went yesterday and hasn't returned yet; could it be that the eldest princess is having a difficult labor?

Just then, Song's voice came from the doorway.

"Sister is here!" Lanqin immediately sat up from the warm couch, took a few steps to the door of the main room, and saw Song Shi walking towards her with a happy expression.

"The eldest princess has given birth! She has given birth! What a terrifying night! I was so worried!" Song Shi said before she even arrived.

"It's good that she's given birth. Is the eldest princess alright?" Lanqin quickly went to greet her.

"Mother and child are safe and sound; she gave birth to a son," Song said with a beaming smile. "You didn't see the face of her sister-in-law, Han; she was frozen there like she'd swallowed a stone. Meng, on the other hand, was genuinely happy; the eldest princess had finally given birth to this grandson." Song said with delight.

"Don't worry, after the New Year, Master Xu will take Han to take up her post in another place. From now on, the eldest princess won't have to put up with her temper anymore," Lanqin said, patting Song's hand.

"Yes, I'm happy. By the way, how is the Fujin (wife) doing? I was worried about her the whole time I was gone," Song asked, her smile fading.

"Master almost released her from confinement. But now things have changed, so let me tell you the story." Lanqin took Song's hand and led her into the house.

As soon as the two entered, they saw Ushiha riding on Cui Da's shoulders, laughing heartily.

"What, what is this?" Madam Song exclaimed in surprise when she suddenly saw two unfamiliar, imposing men in the room.

"Reporting to Princess Song, these are my two brothers. Please forgive my rudeness," Cui Niang hurriedly said.

"Sister, you've come at the perfect time. Let's have a meal together," Lanqin said casually.

Once the dining table was set up, the meal that Lanqin had ordered was immediately served.

Cui Da and Cui Er were invited to sit down. When they saw that there were only two men in the room, surrounded by women, they felt a little embarrassed.

"Sit down, all of you. You are not servants here. There's no need for such formalities. Sit down," Lanqin said.

The group sat down around the table and began to eat. Lanqin shared her plans with Madam Song, who then said, "With the Cui brothers' help, things will be much easier. Madam Yehe is even speculating that the Second Princess should plead with the Fujin. That's really going too far."

“Once we expose what she’s done, her days are numbered. Brother Cui, has Aunt Cui already told you? Are all those things ready?” Lanqin asked.

"Don't worry, Consort, my elder brother and I will definitely scare that princess half to death," Cui Er said.

"I'll have to ask Sister Song for help with this. You live right across from her, so you can observe her daily routine and activity patterns. To succeed in one fell swoop, we must figure out her daily routine," Lan Qin said.

“Okay, tell me what to do, and I’ll definitely cooperate.” When Song saw that Lanqin wanted her help, she immediately responded enthusiastically. Lanqin had always been the one helping her and Geng, and it was rare for her to be able to help now.

“Alright, I’ll explain it to you in detail later. Cui Da and Cui Er, you two dress up as Peach Blossom and prepare what you’re going to say. I’ll tell you all about it later,” Lanqin said.

The group finished their lunch amidst cheerful conversation and laughter.

After lunch, Madam Song and Lanqin went to her study to discuss the details. Shuiling brought them tea, and as they drank, they discussed how to trick Yehe Shi.

“Sister, what if she doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods? After all, if a play is repeated several times, it will eventually have flaws. The Yehe clan is so capable; they are not easily fooled,” said Madam Song after listening to Lanqin’s words.

“So, we need to let fear seep into her heart slowly, otherwise we won’t be able to find any fault with her. Sister, this is somewhat cruel, but Yehe Clan did more than just compete for the emperor’s favor; she even harmed the master’s body to achieve her goals. She also killed Peach Blossom. So we need to use Peach Blossom’s soul to force her to reveal her true form,” Lanqin said.

"Yes, sister, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, we'll do." Madam Song had always trusted Lanqin completely.

"My sister's task is to keep a close eye on her. See what she's up to. The more detailed the better," Lanqin said.

“Alright, sister, send your maids to keep an eye on her maids. Let’s see what kind of tricks she’s up to!” Madam Song nodded.

"Yes. This time, the Fujin (principal wife) tried to turn the tables by using the Yehe clan and the Second Princess, but unfortunately, the tactics she used were too low-level. She has shot herself in the foot," Lanqin said.
