"What?"

After the three women entered the tent, Grandma Lu went out, leaving only four women in the tent.

As soon as Li heard her mother-in-law's proposal, her expression changed immediately.

"Why are you shouting? You are the maids serving in Cheng Liang's room. Weren't you the first to climb into Cheng Liang's bed? Now, I let you do it openly, but why don't you want to? Are you addicted to sneaking in secretly?"

Lu Huifen was in a very bad mood. Her son was about to die, and she was not willing to pretend to be elegant at all.

"This is exile, not home."

Li refused.

"If you say so, I have to explain it to you clearly. It was not me who secretly climbed into the master's bed and wanted to climb up the social ladder. It was the master who insisted--"

When talking about the past, Li's eyes turned red.

She and Liu were both maids in the second master's room, but she was different. Liu was beautiful and arrogant. She dreamed of climbing into the master's bed and becoming a concubine all day long.

She was different. She was not a bought-out slave, but a contracted slave who had signed a ten-year contract. She had parents and relatives at home. As long as the term was up, she could return home.

When her mother came to visit her, she told her that she would be able to return home in a year, and her family had already arranged a good marriage for her. It was her aunt's cousin, who had lived with her grandmother when she was young. The two cousins ​​were very close and had a good relationship.

Who knew that Su Chengliang was such a bad person, with so many concubines in his room. But he blocked her in the room that night and insisted...

Although it was only for one night, she became Su Chengliang's, so she could only be promoted to a concubine. The other maids envied her, some were jealous of her, and some hated her.

But she really hated Su Chengliang, hated him for destroying everything for her.

When she thought of this, Li wanted to kill Su Chengliang.

Slap! A loud slap, Lu Huifen glared at Li,

"Shut up, you bitch. How dare a slave born of slavery talk back to you."

Li covered her face and stopped talking, but her eyes were still filled with resentment.

"You, you're not going to learn from that little bitch, are you?"

Lu Huifen looked at Liu with anger and coldness.

This Liu is not as tough as Li, but she looks like a fox spirit and can talk. In the past, Lu Huifen was most annoyed by her because Liu's every move was very similar to her younger sister Lu Xianglian.

"Mom, how dare I disobey your words?"

Liu came forward, her face smiling like a peach blossom.

"I will listen to my mother. You go and serve me now."

Lu Huifen didn't expect Liu to be so talkative. She smiled immediately, took out a jade bracelet from her private collection, and handed it to Liu.

"You are a good child. If you get pregnant in the future, you will be the head lady of our third house."

Liu: This old woman, she still thinks this is the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? She has already been confiscated and exiled, and she still mentions the wife of the head of the family. This pie is too big. Humph, anyway, I go in, and you can't watch in front of me. Do you know whether I served your son or pinched your son?

"Mom, you called me here because—"

Xia Ping'er was muttering to herself as she listened to Lu Huifen's instructions about her second uncle's two concubines.

What was the mother-in-law planning? She was talking to my second uncle's two concubines about this. Why did she call her along and talk about it in front of her?

Could it be possible? She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She is having an affair with Su Chengliang.

But, that was something that happened behind the scenes after all.

"Li, you go in and serve first. After half an hour, Liu will go in and serve. Okay, all of you go out."

Xia Ping'er: Tsk tsk, Second Uncle is so badly injured that he only has one breath left. If Grandma plays like this, Second Uncle might not make it to tomorrow morning.

After Li and Liu left, Lu Huifen pulled Xia Ping'er to sit down, contrary to her just now domineering attitude towards the two concubines.

Smiling, she squeezed Xia Ping'er's soft little hand.

"Ping'er, we have always gotten along well. Since you came into the mansion, mother has loved you a lot."

Xia Ping'er: What's this? But with a gentle smile on her face,

"Mother, look at what you said. Ping'er knows how good you are to her. In Ping'er's heart, you are closer to her than her own mother."

Ahem——

Lu Huifen coughed twice. No matter how thick-skinned she was, the words she was about to say still made her face red. "Ping'er, you also know Cheng Liang's current situation."

"Mom, don't be sad. Second uncle's injury is serious. But as a family, we can always find a way to save him if we work together."

"Ping'er, mother likes your mouth. Why do you say such nice things?"

Lu Huifen was getting more and more satisfied with Xia Ping'er. Just now, she deliberately ordered her son's two concubines to do that in front of Xia Ping'er. It was also to observe Xia Ping'er's expression. After all, although Xia Ping'er and her son had an affair in secret, in public, Xia Ping'er was still her son's sister-in-law. If she opened her mouth and Xia Ping'er blocked her with a word, she would be helpless.

"Mom, if you have anything for Ping'er to do, as long as it can help me, even if it means I have to go through fire and water, Ping'er is willing. Mom, you are good to Ping'er and to Ping'er's children, and Ping'er will always remember your kindness."

"Oh, you are such a sweet-mouthed, kind-hearted kid. You really make me feel so hurt."

"Mom, it's just the two of us here, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Oh, since Ping'er is so sensible, I will sacrifice my old face and say something shameful. You heard it just now. I might as well tell you the truth. Chengliang is dying, and I don't want him to be abandoned by the officials on the road without even a layer of soil to bury him. I want--"

Xia Ping'er: Here it comes. This old woman is indeed planning this. She wants me to be pregnant with my second uncle's child like the two concubines.

"Wait for Liu to come out, and then go to the shack to check on the second brother in half an hour."

Lu Huifen's words were vague. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't say it to Xia Ping'er's face and let her directly...

Xia Ping'er: Well, I was just worried about it. It's really what I thought, it will come true. This opportunity is really a gift from God.

Three days ago, she should have had her period, but it still hasn't come.

She was very worried. She was afraid that she might be pregnant.

After further calculation, this child could only have been conceived that night in the prison by those officials. She didn't even know which official was the father of the child.

If something like this had happened in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion before, she would have asked her maid to secretly buy a pack of medicine and give the injection. But now that she was on the road of exile, not only could she not buy medicine, but if the injection was not good, she would lose her life.

That's why she thought of hooking up with Liu Laoer. When she got pregnant, she would put the blame on Liu Laoer. Liu Laoer would take care of her for the sake of the child.

When the time comes and the third wife of the Su family knows that she is pregnant, she will quietly tell Lu Huifen that the child she is carrying is Su Chengliang's. Lu Huifen will also take care of her for the sake of the child.

Unexpectedly, before she could take any action, Lu Huifen came to her begging for help.

Then after a while, when she became pregnant, Lu Huifen would naturally think that the child in her belly was Su Chengliang's.

"Mom, I will listen to you."

"Oh, you are really my good daughter. Ping'er, mother has only given birth to two boys in her life, and no daughter. From now on, you will be my own daughter."

Xia Ping'er: Just now he said that if she gave birth to a child, she would be the mistress of the third house. In the blink of an eye, she became his own daughter again.
