After Song Xiuer entered the manor, Chu Yuan forbade Heng'er from going to play at Song Kangshi's place anymore.

Even when she had to go, she stayed by his side every step of the way.

Song Kangshi was somewhat unhappy about this, but she also understood that Chu Yuan had not done anything wrong. All mothers are this anxious about their children.

Just as she was anxious about Xiuer and Yiner.

Therefore, he could only express his depression and unhappiness to Song Xiuer.

As time went on, he found everything about Song Xiuer disagreeable.

Song Kangshi would occasionally mutter, "I'm telling you, Xiuer, you should learn from that Aunt Hua and be more gentle and virtuous. Don't always argue with your son-in-law."

It's true that you went through thick and thin with him, but men are proud and don't like people bringing up the past, especially the bad stuff.

Men are all the same; they like women who are gentle, kind, and admiring.

If you really can't do it, just learn from your younger brother and sister-in-law. Look at them, they've had your brother completely under their thumb for so many years.

Song Xiuer pouted. Learn from Chu Yuan? No way!

She's a vixen, filthy! How is she any different from those girls in brothels?

She's a proper wife, so she should act like one.

That little slut Hua Qianqian, that idiot, hmph, her glory won't last long!

Now that she has money in her hands and can secure a good future for Peng'er, she's not afraid that Wei Shaozheng won't kneel before her and repent.

Thinking this, a malicious scheme flashed in Song Xiuer's eyes.

A few days later, Song Kangshi took a liking to a calming incense and lit it every night before going to bed.

A month later, Song Kangshi's health deteriorated, and sometimes she would be talking one moment and then fall asleep the next.

"Mother has been a bit sleepy lately," Chu Yuan kindly reminded Song Tangyin.

Unfortunately, he has been too busy lately. A snow disaster occurred in the south, causing freezing temperatures everywhere and damaging many infrastructure projects.

Song Tangyin assisted the Ministry of Works in dealing with these messes, repairing, allocating funds, and transferring personnel, keeping her extremely busy.

Hearing this, she gave a weary "hmm," and said, "I understand. Find a doctor to take a look at her."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he fell asleep, stroking Chu Yuan's belly.

Even when Xiao Songheng waved his arms and called for his father, he couldn't hear him anymore, and Xiao Songheng's mouth twitched as if he was about to cry.

Chu Yuan smiled and picked him up. "Daddy's tired. Daddy's going to sleep. Let's not disturb him, okay?"

"Wah~" Little Song Heng nestled in his mother's arms, rubbing against her and snuggling close, instantly overjoyed.

Chu Yuan kissed his soft, fair face. "Good boy, Mommy will give birth to your little brother soon, then you won't be lonely anymore."

Little Song Heng's eyes lit up, and he called out in his childish voice, "Little brother~ Little brother~ Hehehe~"

Finally, Song Xiuer painstakingly arranged a family dinner.

Her face beamed with joy. "Has Ayin been so busy lately? He's really worked so hard. Without him, my son and I wouldn't have such a nice place to stay. So I learned a few dishes to express my gratitude. Tonight, at my mother's place, our whole family will have a good meal to celebrate Ayin's success in advance."

Chu Yuan smiled but did not say anything in response.

While helping Song Tangyin change her clothes, Song Tangyin wondered, "She cooked herself?"

Chu Yuan said, "Yes, my elder sister is very sincere this time. She has probably been heartbroken by Wei Shaozheng and realized how good family is."

"That's not necessarily true." Song Tangyin was clearly not optimistic. While Chu Yuan was tying his belt, she kissed Chu Yuan on the lips.

Chu Yuan scolded him, "What are you doing? It's daytime now."

Upon hearing this, Song Tangyin reached out and hooked her arm around Chu Yuan's waist. Even though she was pregnant, her figure was still very good, and it was only three months along, which did not affect her graceful figure at all.

Her whole body exuded a captivating fragrance.

Song Tangyin leaned close to Chu Yuan's fair neck and took a deep sniff.

It smells so good.

He loved the taste.

They practically wanted to disregard everything and bully people relentlessly.

Three months have passed exactly...

Chu Yuan sensed his passion and pushed him away abruptly, saying, "Don't go crazy, we still need to go to Mother's courtyard for dinner."

Song Tangyin had no choice but to give up, but Chu Yuan's heart trembled at her heavy gaze.

"The food is here!"

Song Xiuer didn't let the servants interfere; she and Wei Peng each served a dish.

Wei Peng brought out one of the steamed egg dishes with a smile, saying, "This was specially made for my cousin; I used eggs that were laid this morning."

Xiao Songheng likes to eat eggs. He is one year old and can eat one a day.

Seeing the steamed egg custard, she waved her hands restlessly, holding a wooden spoon in one hand and wearing a small bib around her neck, smacking her lips as she impatiently waited.

Song Xiuer laughed, "See, I knew our Heng'er would like this."

As he spoke, he casually scooped a large spoonful of soup for Song Heng and placed it into Song Heng's eager bowl.

Chu Yuan glanced at Lan Yue without showing any emotion. Lan Yue immediately understood and, after testing it and finding no problems, allowed Song Heng to put it in his mouth.

Song Xiuer pretended to look on nonchalantly, but inwardly she scoffed. The poison she had given was colorless and odorless, and it wouldn't take effect immediately, so what was the point of tasting it?

Haha, it won't be long before Chu Yuan's little bastard dies.

Song Heng died, and Chu Yuan was devastated. She couldn't save the baby in her womb either!

At that time, it will still be Peng'er who will inherit Song Tangyin's mantle.

This is Peng'er's future, it should have been Peng'er's all along!

That vixen Chu Yuan, how come she can still have children? She's had three miscarriages and she's still alive. She's incredibly lucky!

But it doesn't matter anymore; the Song family will eventually fall into Song Xiuer's hands.

"Mom, your teeth aren't very good, so I made extra steamed egg custard. Please have some too."

As if she were being incredibly filial, Song Xiuer also served Song Kangshi an egg custard, while she and Wei Peng ate other dishes.
