Chapter 255 Setting up the Game



Wu Junrou just raised her head and saw Song Wanning coming into the yard. The maids behind her were holding a lot of supplements. She saw that several maids were holding several boxes.

Seeing Wu Junrou inside, Song Wanning laughed out loud, "I never thought that my nephew's wife would be so in tune with my aunt. She said she came to see Yuan Xian, and she actually ran into my aunt here."

Seeing this, Yuan Xian hurried forward and said, "Madam, come back. Why did you bring so many things?"

"I just brought you some supplements to nourish your pregnancy." Song Wanning said as she sat down with a smile. She looked at Yuan Xian and said calmly, "You are pregnant now, which is a great contribution to the Yin family. If you can give your uncle a son and add to the Yin family, it will be a great achievement. How can such a good thing be neglected? You must take good care of it."

"Madam, please don't exclude me. I'm just a concubine, and I'm already quite respectable for living like this." Yuan Xian said, blushing as she sat down beside him and invited Song Wanning to eat the food she had prepared long ago. "I found out about Madam's preferences and had someone buy these fruits and snacks. Madam, please try them and see if they suit your taste."

Wu Junrou, standing by, was nearly tearing the handkerchief in her hand. Seeing Song Wanning like this, her heart was pounding like oil, but she couldn't show any displeasure. She just whispered to Song Wanning, "I never thought Yuan Xian would do such a thing. She didn't marry the Prime Minister, but instead married your uncle. Wanning didn't even resent her. She even came to take care of her when she knew she was pregnant."

"When I first met Yuan Xian, I felt like we were old friends. She's a good person, but unfortunately, our Prime Minister's Mansion wasn't lucky enough to accept her into our family." Song Wanning chuckled softly, "But it's fate after all. Now that I see Yuan Xian living a good life, I'm naturally happy too. I think the Yin Mansion is more lively and popular than the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's a blessing for Yuan Xian to marry into our family."

Wu Junrou glanced at Song Wanning, and the smile on her face grew even colder. "We in the Yin Mansion have quite a few supplements, and we haven't lacked anything for Yuanxian. Now that you've brought so many things with you, people who don't know might think we're mistreating our concubines. Don't let anyone criticize you."

"Aunt, you really misunderstood. I brought these goodies just for the sake of my friendship with Miss Yuan Xian. I didn't think too much about it." Song Wanning opened the box in her hand and said softly, "After all, these supplements are sold in the shop at home. They are much more cost-effective than buying medicine outside. It's just a matter of convenience. But I only brought a little more this time. I won't bring more in the future."

The box in Song Wanning's hand was actually a set of tools for testing poisons. She looked up at Yuan Xian and said, "Miss Yuan Xian is blessed with great fortune, but there are many concubines in this mansion, and Yuan Xian is deeply loved by her uncle. I'm afraid someone in the mansion might try to harm her. That's why I had someone make this box specifically for testing poisons. Yuan Xian, just take it and be careful with everything you do in the future, whether you're eating or doing things."

"Yuan Xian thanks Madam here." Yuan Xian said, and asked the servant beside him to take away the things in the box.

Wu Junrou stood aside and said in a rather unhappy tone, "Wan Ning, I am now the mistress of this mansion. It is natural for me to take care of Yuan Xian's pregnancy. You are bringing up the matter of pregnancy here now. Are you trying to slap me in the face?"

"Aunt has really misunderstood. I am still pregnant now, so I put myself in her shoes. I just saw that Miss Yuan Xian is also pregnant, so I took better care of her, which can be regarded as helping Aunt to share her worries." Song Wanning was still smiling as she spoke. As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person. Wu Junrou didn't know what to say since Song Wanning was like this.

But seeing Song Wanning like this, how could Wu Junrou swallow this anger?

"Auntie has a kind character and is the mistress of the household. Now that you're pregnant, I'm afraid you won't have to worry about food, clothing, or other expenses in the future." Song Wanning looked at Yuan Xian and smiled slowly. "Just take good care of the baby and don't worry about anything else."

As Song Wanning was speaking, Wu Junrou saw the bright red rouge on her lips, and her anger subsided a little. Now Song Wanning still had time to care about others, and she didn't know how long the baby in her belly could be kept. It seemed like a joke now.

Song Wanning talked to Wu Junrou for a while before leaving the mansion.

Wu Junrou didn't stay long. As soon as Song Wanning left, she went back to her own yard.

Wu Junrou was furious. She looked at her mother beside her and whispered, "I was curious how this Yuanxian could get pregnant. Now it seems she must have noticed something was amiss but kept it a secret. She even went so far as to ask Song Wanning to help her keep the baby. A concubine can be so capable."

Mother Shen also sighed and said, "Now that the Prime Minister's wife is guaranteeing her, it will be difficult for us to take action."

"There's always a chance. Not only did this Yuanxian disobey me in the beginning, but she also married the master. How could I let her give birth to a child and throw a fly into my bowl?" Wu Junrou's face darkened, and she spoke slowly, "The one from the Prime Minister's Mansion can't escape either. A miscarriage is only a matter of time."

While the two were chatting, Song Wanning had already arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhuque looked at Song Wanning and said in a low voice, "Madam, you are pregnant now. Why did you go to the Yin Mansion to wade into the muddy waters by yourself? Don't disturb the fetus. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself."

Song Wanning looked at Suzaku and replied calmly, "If it weren't for Wu Junrou wanting to see the color of my lips, I wouldn't have wanted to make this trip. She needs to know that I'm using this thing so she can feel at ease."

Song Wanning wiped her lips with her handkerchief and said slowly, "The color of this rouge made by Miss Cui is almost the same as the box I just got. I hope I can fool Wu Junrou."

"Madam, you did it so neatly this time. I'm afraid Madam Yin won't notice it either." Zhuque echoed from the side, pulling out a list from her sleeve and handing it to Song Wanning. "Madam, you asked me to keep an eye on the people in the mansion a few days ago. I found these people after investigating. They all have had conflicts with the Yin Mansion. I wonder what Madam will do."

Song Wanning took the list from Zhuque's hand, glanced at it, and then said to Zhuque, "Find an opportunity to send those servants to the farm. Don't let them work in the mansion. Sending them all away at once will only draw attention. When we find an opportunity, we can send them off one by one."
