It's fine if you don't want to die, but you are pregnant with my flesh and blood
"Guard Qian is not to blame for this. If anyone is to blame, blame me for the deep grudge between me and Miss Su. It's understandable that she dislikes me. Guard Qian, please don't take our conflict to heart."
Liu Meishuang's move this time can be said to be a 180-degree turn. She couldn't control Fu Xuechen, but Fu Xuechen protected Su Qingli openly and secretly.
Liu Meishuang will not be able to sleep or eat unless she gets rid of the hatred for Su Qingli!
"Miss Liu, don't take it personally. Miss Su has experienced major life changes and is wary of others. With time, you two will surely be able to resolve your differences."
Qian Jue acted as a peacemaker in the middle, trying not to offend either side. Although he felt that Liu Meishuang's changes were astonishing, he should not question it since the Prime Minister, who had a keen eye, believed in her.
Liu Meishuang evaded the question with a forced smile, "I hope what Guard Qian said is true. I still have to go and send the doctors away. Guard Qian, please stay."
In fact, Liu Meishuang arranged for Yunxiu to send the doctors away. Relying on Fu Xuechen's position as the Prime Minister, she did not take these doctors seriously.
One maid would be enough to deliver it, and besides, there was no use for her even if she hired one. Su Qingli was too vigilant and would not fall into the trap at all.
Fortunately, she had a backup plan, so she didn't have to worry about Su Qingli being kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Madam, what should we do now? Miss Su won't accept the challenge, and you have no room to maneuver."
After sending the doctors back home to wait for orders, Yunxiu thought that none of Liu Meishuang's tricks were working, and wondered how they could turn the situation around.
Su Qingli had Qingzhu by her side, so she chose Liu Meishuang. After she learned about Su Qingli's experience many times, she felt that Su Qingli's current status was low and she was not worthy of Fu Xuechen.
"Whether she answers or not, I can catch her off guard!" Liu Meishuang was confident that when Fu Xuechen returned home, she would go to Fu Xuechen and fan the flames.
"Madam, you are confident of victory, so I am relieved." Yunxiu naturally hoped that Liu Meishuang would take the position of the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible. Then she would be a great contributor under the command of the Prime Minister's wife.
Outside the window, the moon was like a crescent moon. Summer had already arrived in the capital. The night breeze blowing through the window cracks was completely cold and covered me with a thin quilt.
With Yunxiu's help, Liu Meishuang lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
Fu Xuechen returned to the mansion at six o'clock in the afternoon the next day. Not long after she entered the mansion, Liu Meishuang, who was looking forward to his return, came up to her and carried out her plan.
In the early days of Liu Meishuang's entry into the mansion, under the influence of the maids and old women, she would ask the maids to help her carefully dress up in front of the bronze mirror every day, unlike when she was in the countryside, where she did not wear any makeup and her clothes of straw hats and cloth skirts were changed and worn repeatedly.
All these bright and beautiful silks and satins were just for decoration, and the rouge and powder were meant to enhance her appearance. Every part of her body was for Fu Xuechen to see. She lowered her head slightly with regret, "Xuechen, I went to visit Miss Su a few days ago. I'm afraid I couldn't help you. She is very hostile to me."
"You'd better not interfere in my affairs with her. If you rashly go over and show your affection, she might think you have ulterior motives."
Fu Xuechen didn't count on Liu Meishuang in the first place. There were too many rifts between her and Su Qingli. How could Su Qingli accept her kindness immediately?
Everything requires a process; acting too hastily can easily backfire.
"Xuechen, you understand Miss Su best, but I just can't understand why Miss Su is pregnant and refused to accept the tonic I sent her. After all, I'm not a doctor, but she simply refused to see the doctor I invited."
Liu Meishuang had a worried look on her face, complaining with a puzzled expression, and calmly changed the subject.
Fu Xuechen held onto a glimmer of hope, perhaps Liu Meishuang had truly come to her senses and was willing to reform and redeem herself. "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You want to ease the tension between you and her, so why rush it so quickly?"
"Xuechen, I'm also concerned about Miss Su's unborn child and want to do more. She's carrying your own flesh and blood. How can she toil day and night without taking care of her own body? I think Miss Su might not want to bear a child for you."
Liu Meishuang added fuel to the fire and whispered in Fu Xuechen's ear, talking about Su Qingli's faults and accurately grasping what Fu Xuechen cared about.
After hearing this, Fu Xuechen's expression suddenly changed. Su Qingli was already in poor health and in a sickly state. With another baby in her belly, it was very tiring to use such a method. She would most likely not be able to keep the baby.
However, Fu Xuechen did not completely believe Liu Meishuang's words. After Liu Meishuang left, he summoned Qian Jue to confront him.
"Qian Jue, Miss Liu said that even though Madam was pregnant, she still worked day and night as usual. Is this true?" Fu Xuechen's eyebrows were cold, and his sharp profile was covered with dark clouds.
"Your Excellency, Miss Liu is right. Madam seems to have been tinkering with the ingredients for sachets these past few days, grinding the flowers and trees she collected into powder."
Qian Jue recalled that Su Qingli refused to accept Liu Meishuang's care, and then took the basket and said that she was going out and asked him to escort her.
As long as Fu Xuechen was not at home, Qian Jue would often stay outside Xiaoxiang Garden, and occasionally follow Su Qingli out to pick flowers and bring back fragrant and harmless wood.
In the past two or three days, he has been concentrating on tinkering in Xiaoxiang Garden, busy during the day and busy at night, almost without sleep. Qian Jue can see that the candlelight in Su Qingli's room is still as bright as day in the middle of the night.
"Another sachet business!" Fu Xuechen's eyes darkened, a hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in his shrunken pupils. He stood up suddenly and said, "I'll go and see. It's okay if she doesn't want to die, but she is pregnant with my flesh and blood."
Fu Xuechen was certain that Su Qingli wanted to have an abortion and that she was doing the sachet business just to raise money. Once she paid back his three thousand taels of silver, she would feel at ease and throw herself into Xie Linyuan's arms.
Su Qingli and Xie Linyuan are still engaged, and Xie Linyuan still thinks about Su Qingli. They were in love before, so it would be easy for their old love to rekindle, right?
Fu Xuechen swiftly stepped into Xiaoxiang Garden. His gaze was piercing as he looked at Su Qingli with scrutiny. "Miss Su, I heard that you have been working hard on your business these past few days?"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is exaggerating. I was just doing some casual work. In this Prime Minister's residence, apart from three meals a day, I don't exercise much. Even after my body has recovered, it is still lacking."
Su Qingli cleverly relieved Fu Xuechen's worries with just a few words, and bought herself a chance to breathe. She really didn't have to confront Fu Xuechen, otherwise the result would be house arrest.
Fu Xuechen, who had come to accuse someone, suppressed his anger upon hearing this and asked, "Miss Su, have you ever heard of the saying 'combining work and rest'?"
"My body and hair are given by my parents. I thank the Prime Minister for his advice. I will take care of myself first."
Su Qingli had a calm expression. She was calm and composed when facing Fu Xuechen. The days when she couldn't do business were like a stagnant pool of water, as if her life was being cut off.
