The Marquis of Zhennan Mansion has already surrendered to Prince Heng, who values Zhao Qing's outstanding weapons-making capabilities. Recently, King Heng has repeatedly urged Zhao Qing to develop a large-scale lethal weapon.
Zhao Qing pretended to be calm and picked up a piece of cake on the table: "I'm in a bad mood and don't want to draw."
Without Taihua Notes, Zhao Qing couldn't think of any ideas for making weapons. She had a vague feeling that her good days might be coming to an end.
She was unable to save herself from defeat, so she simply gave up on herself and tried her best to enjoy her last good days every day.
One more day lived is one more day lived.
Shangguan Xuan softened his voice and coaxed, "Ah Qing, please help me. If Prince Heng can succeed, our mansion will surely continue to prosper."
Zhao Qing swallowed the snack and had no intention of helping Shangguan Xuan: "Do you think inspiration is cabbage? I'm not in the mood to design weapon blueprints now."
Shangguan Xuan clenched his fists, looked at the woman in front of him with disappointment, and his heart sank. He was really blind to marry this difficult woman.
There was no need to say more, he was so angry that he left in a huff.
Zhao Qing didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to eat snacks leisurely. After a while, Shangguan Qian ran in angrily.
Seeing the expensive silk dress Zhao Qing was wearing and the beautiful white jade hairpin in her hair, Shangguan Qian's eyes turned red with jealousy.
Shangguan Qian said sullenly, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to Prince Heng's mansion to enjoy the flowers tomorrow. Give me some money, I want to buy the new makeup powder from Qixiangzhai."
Zhao Qing: “No.”
Shangguan Qian stamped her feet in anger: "Your Majesty has rewarded you with so much gold, so what if you give me some? Sister-in-law, you are too selfish! Believe it or not, I will let my elder brother divorce you!"
Zhao Qing rolled her eyes: "I wish I could divorce Shangguan Xuan. Do you think you are a princess or queen? Why should I give you money for nothing? What can I get in return? Only beggars in the world ask for money from others."
Shangguan Qian's face flushed red, as if she had been slapped hard in the face. She stammered, "You, you..."
She hated her sister-in-law Zhao Qing more and more. If only Sun Qingmei was still in the Marquis' Mansion, she would definitely not say such bad things to her.
Zhao Qing was annoyed when he saw Shangguan Xuan, and said in a bad tone: "Useless trash. If you were not born in the Marquis' Mansion, you would have been sold long ago."
Shangguan Qian left with tears in her eyes as she was ashamed and angry.
Zhao Qing's good mood was ruined as his lunch break was interrupted repeatedly. She increasingly didn't want to stay in this den of wolves in the Marquis' Mansion. After thinking for a while, Zhao Qing ordered the four maids: "Pack up, I'm going to stay at the farm for two days. Take all my money with you, so that it won't be stolen by those ungrateful people."
These foxes in the Marquis' Mansion are all eyeing Zhao Qing's purse.
The luggage was quickly packed and the carriage left the mansion through the back door.
In the carriage, Zhao Qing counted the little gold left in his bag. When the carriage reached the corner, the horse suddenly neighed sharply.
"Madam Hou, Prince Heng invites you." The guard's cold voice came from outside.
Zhao Qing paused for a moment as he grasped the gold in his hand. Then he let out a bitter smile that showed helplessness and relief.
Stolen wealth will have to be returned sooner or later. All the gifts bestowed by fate have already been secretly marked with chips.

Prince Yan's Mansion, Kunyu Courtyard.
The princess has been in a very bad mood these days. She never expected that Shen Wei's luck was so good that she gave birth to a daughter as her first child and two sons as her second child!
Clang——
The vase in front of the shrine was smashed to the ground, and the broken porcelain pieces cut the princess's hand. The maids came in with their heads lowered and skillfully swept away the broken pieces of vase and porcelain.
"I gave birth to two sons...two sons." The princess slumped on the ground. The light in the Buddhist hall was dim. She looked at the white jade statue of Bodhisattva with disappointment, tears falling down her face.
Shen Wei had been in the palace for less than three years, and she had won the favor of King Yan and gave birth to a daughter and two sons safely. With three children by her side, Shen Wei's position in the palace is unshakable.
Even if Prince Yan has any intentions in the future, he can directly promote Chen Wei to be his principal wife. When Shen Wei's son grows up, he will replace the princess' son and inherit the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
"Princess, don't be sad." Nanny Liu walked into the room, her eyes filled with pity and helplessness.
Madam Liu helped the princess up, handed her a cup of warm tea, and comforted her, "You are the legitimate daughter of the Tan Tai family, and no one can shake your position. Madam Tan Tai also sent a message to me, and asked me to pass it on to you."
The princess looked up: "What do you want to convey?"
Aunt Liu: "【Wait patiently】."
The princess smiled, tears of disappointment falling from her eyes: "Wait? Mother really loves me. I was suppressed by that Shen family and couldn't raise my head. I was trapped in this yard for a whole year! She still wants me to wait? Wait for what? Wait for my body to be carried out of the palace? Wait for the son of that bitch Shen Wei to inherit the throne?"
Madam Liu said patiently, "The old lady has a broad vision. She must have her considerations when she said that."
The princess shook her head in disappointment.
She couldn't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Shen Wei’s two sons will grow up slowly.
It’s no use relying on your parents and family, you can only rely on yourself to solve the problem.
...
...
Ever since giving birth to two sons, Shen Wei has been feeling uncomfortable everywhere.
In the few days after giving birth, Shen Wei suffered from back pain, stomach pain, cold sweats in hot weather, and vomiting for no apparent reason in the middle of the night. She felt so uncomfortable that her wounds were numb and she felt like her soul was leaving her body.
Even though I took a lot of pain-relieving and qi-replenishing medicine, the effect was not obvious.
The pain lasted for five or six days before the symptoms were slightly alleviated. Shen Wei tried to hold on to the maid's hand and tried to get out of bed and walk around. But I can't walk for too long, because after a while the wound will start to hurt again.
After more than half a month of suffering, Shen Wei's three souls and seven spirits finally returned to their place. During Shen Wei's confinement, the two children grew up lively and healthy. The queen sent imperial doctors to check on the children every day, and the experienced wet nurse took good care of the children.
