Upon receiving the order, the old woman stepped forward and snatched the two sachets from Yu Rou's hands, then respectfully handed them to Ye Jiao Niang, saying, "Auntie, please take a look."

"Is this really made for Madam?" Ye Jiaoniang frowned as she held the sachet.

The color does indeed look like something a woman would use.

Yu Rou nodded, "Yes."

Ye Jiaoniang squeezed the sachet, then suddenly laughed twice, "Tsk, you really know how to behave, going to such lengths to please Madam?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly threw the sachet on the ground and stomped on it.

After finishing, he glanced at the angry Yu Rou with raised eyes: "It's a pity you've tried to please the wrong person. What's the use of trying to please the madam? The Marquis doesn't even go to her courtyard."

She's been living a very comfortable life these past few days, and even the old lady is taking great care of her.

The old lady had all the expensive blood swallow meat sent to Mingyue Pavilion for her.

In addition, the Earl had previously stated that if their first child was a boy, the title of Earl of Pingyin would be his in the future.

Ye Jiaoniang became even more emboldened.

Yu Rou bit her lip and remained silent.

Ye Jiaoniang became even more emboldened, looking at her sullen and unyielding appearance, and mocked, "What, you wouldn't be trying to curry favor with Madam and then get her to help you get into the Earl's bed, would you? Don't be ridiculous, Madam herself can't even get into the Earl's bed, you—"

"You really are from the countryside, always talking about beds. What, Aunt Ye, you've only been enjoying your good days for a few days and you're already getting cocky?"

Qin Sheng came from behind with Qiao'er and Emerald.

Ye Jiaoniang was accompanied by an old woman and two maids. They were not particularly alarmed when they heard the lady's voice.

Because the old lady had specifically instructed them that their task was to listen to Aunt Ye and ensure that she was unharmed.

Yu Rou tried to pick up the sachet from the ground, but found that Aunt Ye had stepped on it.

She stammered and bowed her head, "Madam..."

Qin Sheng wore a pomegranate red twelve-panel embroidered horse-face skirt, which Qin Yu had found the most skilled embroiderer to make when he was in the Northwest, and brought back to make his younger sister happy.

Her elegant and noble demeanor made everyone present pale in comparison in an instant.

"..."

Ye Jiaoniang's arrogance subsided considerably. She moved her foot slightly, then quietly withdrew it.

The sachets on the ground were not trampled, but they were dirtied.

Yu Rou squatted down and picked it up, her eyes slightly red. This was the embroidery she had stayed up all night to finish.

Qiao'er immediately snorted, "Aunt Ye, you have quite the nerve! Do you really think that just because you're pregnant, you're the mistress of the Yin family? Don't you even know who you are? Do you deserve it?"

She has always been straightforward and honest, and she is extremely loyal to Qin Sheng, unable to bear even the slightest criticism of her mistress from others.

"..."

Ye Jiaoniang's face turned pale.

The old lady immediately defended her mistress, saying, "What are you saying, Miss Qiao'er? Your aunt was just speaking her mind. Besides, she's carrying the Earl's first child, Madam—"

With a "snap".

Before Granny Yun could finish speaking, she was slapped by Qiao'er. Qiao'er angrily said, "Who do you think you are? You're just being outspoken, aren't you? Fine, let's go to the old lady together and talk about it, and see if the old lady believes Aunt Ye's 'outspokenness'!"

"You..." Granny Yun covered her face, looked at Qin Sheng looking over, and immediately lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

"I originally thought that since you were pregnant, it wouldn't matter if you spent more on food, clothing, and daily necessities, or if you were more temperamental or willful."

Qin Sheng strolled over slowly, looking Ye Jiaoniang up and down. "But everything has its limits. Some things can only be done once. Today you dare to step on my things a second time. Are you going to step on me next time?"

"This servant wouldn't dare," Ye Jiaoniang said, bowing her head and clutching her handkerchief tightly in her palm.

"What are you afraid of? I've been wanting to replace me for quite some time now, haven't I?"

"How about this," Qin Sheng said lightly, "I heard that Aunt Ye has been enjoying reading lately. Go back and copy the Yin family rules and regulations three hundred times. After you're done, bring them to me for review."

"lady……"

Granny Yun couldn't help but defend her mistress, saying, "The concubine is still pregnant..."

"What does being pregnant have to do with her copying clan and family rules? Oh, right, if it weren't for the fact that she's pregnant, I would have had her slapped long ago." The tone suddenly turned icy at the last sentence.

Granny Yun shuddered in fright.

Ye Jiaoniang bit her lip, and Qin Sheng continued, "Of course, you can also go and complain, but I am the mistress of the Yin family. Think carefully, will the Earl be angry with me because of this before you go and complain."

"..."

Of course, the Earl wouldn't hold a grudge against her for this!

Ye Jiaoniang was furious but helpless. She had thought that Qin Sheng would be heartbroken and crying because she was pregnant.

She, on the other hand, still had the mood to dress up!

Qin Sheng stopped looking at Ye Jiaoniang and turned her gaze to Yu Rou, who was keeping her head down and not speaking.

"I asked you to embroider two sachets a couple of days ago, but it seems they can't be used now. I'll have someone deduct double the cost of those two sachets from Aunt Ye's allowance next month."

Ye Jiaoniang: "..."

Qin Sheng ignored her and took Qiao'er, Emerald, and Yu Rou to Zhefang Courtyard.

However, Yu Rou did not stay long. She sat in Zhe Fang Courtyard for a while, said she would embroider two more sachets for the lady, and then left in a hurry.

Qiao'er was still furious. She poured tea for her mistress and said angrily, "This Aunt Ye dares to act like this now just because she's pregnant. Who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause after the child is born!"

As Qin Sheng drank her tea, memories of her past life flashed through her mind.

Wasn't it the same in her past life? Ye Jiaoniang, taking advantage of her pregnancy, caused chaos in the mansion, and Old Madam Yin even blamed Qin Sheng for not serving her well.

But ask yourself, in which household does the mistress of the house take care of and serve her when her concubine becomes pregnant?

Not only is it a thankless task, but you also get mistreated.

But these things really happened in her past life. Qin Sheng lived a very tiring life, having to please her husband, her mother-in-law, and even her concubines.

Emerald said worriedly, "Yu Rou had told me before that entering the Yin family was not her wish, but I'm afraid Aunt Ye won't let her go."

Qin Sheng knew why Yu Rou entered the manor, and so did the two maids.

“The old lady won’t let her get away with this,” Qin Sheng said.

However, after a pause, he added, "I'm just worried that Yu Rou's submissive nature might lead her to do something rash if she can't stand Aunt Ye's torment one day."

But...she won't let that happen!

Thinking of the two sachets that Yu Rou made after staying up all night to make after learning that she hadn't been sleeping well these past two days... Qin Sheng closed her eyes.
