"Ms. Liu is already three months pregnant. The mansion will be more lively from now on," Dong E suddenly said.

Jiang Ranli was slightly stunned when she heard this. Although Dong E was smiling, she felt that there was something else mixed in that smile.

Seeing Jiang Ranli staring at her blankly, Dong E laughed again, "Although I am a concubine, there is no one in this mansion with whom I can confide. I called you here today just to chat with you."

chat?

Jiang Ranli's nerves tensed up. If it were when she first entered the mansion, she would have felt that Dong E was very pitiful. Her husband didn't care about her and even made his concubine pregnant. Not only could she not show anger, she had to accept it with a smile. She was truly pitiful.

But Jiang Ranli no longer thinks so. Having seen Dong E's methods, she is only worried about whether there is any conspiracy.

"Thank you for your trust, Madam. However, I am stupid and don't know how to chat with people. I hope you won't dislike me."

Since there was no way to leave, Jiang Ranli had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond to Dong E's words.

Upon hearing this, Dong E looked at her with a pair of eyes as gentle as water, "Among the nearly twenty sisters in this mansion, you are the only one I like the most. If those sisters could be as considerate as you, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort."

Is this another compliment to herself for being considerate? It seems to be hinting at the other women in Yinzhen's life, secretly saying that the pregnant Liu Shi made her unhappy.

"My lady, you are too kind. I am really clumsy. It is my blessing to win your favor," Jiang Ranli answered in a proper manner.

She had excellent grades since childhood and attended one of the best universities. Therefore, Jiang Ranli always thought she was very smart. But after entering the Qing Dynasty, she felt that her IQ was not enough, especially compared with the women in the backyard.

"I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to ask the servants to serve you tea. Hongmei, why don't you go and serve tea to the concubine?" Dong E seemed to be displeased with the stupidity of the maid beside her, and her eyes were particularly sharp.

Seeing this, Jiang Ranli couldn't help but look around. At this time, there were only four people in the huge hall, she, Sixian, Dong E and Hongmei.

Why is the atmosphere so strange today?

Jiang Ranli retracted her gaze and silently picked up the teacup and sipped the tea. No matter how fragrant and pleasant the tea was, it could not make her feel at ease for a moment. She always felt that something would happen today.

But, what will happen?

You got caught pretending to be ugly?

No, Dong E didn’t realize that she was making herself look ugly.

The small door in the yard was discovered?

It shouldn’t be. The small door is very hidden, and I made arrangements with Sixian and Sidai, so the possibility of discovering the small door is extremely small.

If it's neither of these, then what is it?

For Jiang Ranli, the most important things are those two points, but now neither of them is the case.

As she was thinking, Qingmei came running in in a panic from outside.

"How can you be so flustered?" Dong E scolded him lightly when she saw this.

Qingmei knelt down on the ground with an anxious voice, "Fujin, it's bad. Aunt Liu has a stomachache now and she's bleeding."

"What?" Dong E stood up in surprise.

Seeing this scene, a guess flashed through Jiang Ranli's mind, and her eyes looked at Dong E. At this time, Dong E was also looking at her.

"Let's go and take a look."

"yes".

Following behind Dong E, Jiang Ranli felt a chill all over his body as he looked at the slender figure in front of him.

Dong E is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, but her mind is deeper than anyone else.

There was nothing happening in the mansion recently, but Dong E called me today and said some strange words. Then, something happened to Liu, who had just become pregnant. Liu's accident should be caused by Dong E, but why did she call me over?

As a modern person, Jiang Ranli had seen many struggles of ancient women in TV dramas and novels. She guessed the reason for Liu's accident with just a little thought, but she couldn't figure out what role she played in this incident.
