Upon hearing Shuanghua say that the young mistress had ordered that no one was allowed to approach the delivery room, Wei Shuangxue's heart stirred.
Her expression remained unchanged, and she outwardly agreed, but quietly approached without anyone noticing.
Standing outside the door, Wei Shuangxue pressed her body against the door, straining to hear.
Wu Yaxin and Yu Yin inside were completely unaware, talking to themselves as if nothing was amiss.
Separated by a door, the voices inside were very soft. Wei Shuangxue kept an eye on the outside while listening intently to the sounds inside.
Suddenly, Wei Shuangxue's heart trembled violently, as if she had heard something unbelievable. Her whole body stiffened, and her hands involuntarily clenched into a fist.
Ah, so it really was you. You're the one who ruined him!
She covered her lips with her hand, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. Her eyes reddened, and the corners of her eyes gradually moistened. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall.
Forcing herself to suppress these emotions, Wei Shuangxue felt immense grief, yet also a sense of joy.
Finally, I finally know the truth.
Thinking this to herself, Wei Shuangxue raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, composed herself, and continued to listen to what was being said inside.
Seemingly exhausted from talking, Wu Yaxin Yue collapsed weakly onto the bed, saying, "Yu Yin, how's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
“Master, when you arranged for Wei Shuangxue to leave the Xin Zhe Ku before, I investigated her carefully. Now that you want to use her, I have investigated her thoroughly. Wei Shuangxue is indeed usable.”
"Hmm! As long as it works," Wu Yaxin murmured softly.
Looking out the window, which was tightly closed due to the birth, Wu Yaxin could see nothing, just like her own heart, which was completely blank.
Swallowing her bitterness, she turned over and lay down, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, and whispered instructions to Yu Yin.
"Now that you've investigated the matter thoroughly, you can take charge of making arrangements!"
Yu Yin had to be close to the bedside to hear her master's instructions. She nodded and said, "Yes, sir!"
In the darkness, Wu Yaxin Yue opened her eyes. All she could see was black. She opened her mouth, made up her mind, and said ruthlessly, "Remember, once Wei Shuangxue is pregnant and gives birth to the prince, I will end her life. I want a child that is entirely my own."
With a cold snort, she continued, "If she were a princess, we'd let her go; she'd be lucky to survive!"
Yu Yin was shocked. She never expected that her master was thinking this way. So this was the method her master had come up with to adopt Wei Shuangxue's child?
She felt a little cruel, but dared not refute it: "Yes, this servant will remember."
Hearing this, Wei Shuangxue knew that the people inside had finished speaking and were about to come out. She reacted quickly and left the room.
Sure enough, just as she reached the corner and concealed herself, she saw Yu Yin come out from inside.
Wei Shuangxue only revealed herself after Yu Yin left. She pretended to be nonchalant and returned to her residence.
She hadn't heard clearly at the door, only vaguely grasping the truth she'd been searching for so long, and what they wanted her to do.
Curious, a few days later, Yu Yin came to find her herself. It was there that Wei Shuangxue finally learned what they wanted her to do.
"Sister, are you saying that the young master wants me to... to serve His Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Shuangxue feigned loyalty, shook her head somewhat fearfully, and said, "Sister is joking. This servant is utterly loyal to Your Highness and has absolutely no intention of seducing the Emperor."
With a hint of unease and sincerity on her face, Wei Shuangxue continued, "If it weren't for your help back then, how could I have left the Xin Zhe Ku and gone from a cleaning maid to a second-class maid by the side of a noble master? I owe everything to your support. I am not the kind of person who forgets kindness."
Seeing Wei Shuangxue's appearance, Yu Yin felt somewhat relieved. Good, she was not disloyal and was still loyal to her master.
Suppressing her doubts and suspicions, Yu Yin finally felt relieved. She took Wei Shuangxue's hand and comforted her, "Sister, you're overthinking it. The master trusts you and has no intention of doubting you. Let me explain this to you."
The two sat down at the table. Yu Yin spoke frankly and sincerely, saying, "Sister, as you know, our mistress is of bondservant origin. It is already quite difficult for her to reach the rank of Noble Lady. If she wants to continue to advance, she must have a prince. However, our mistress has given birth to three princesses in a row, and her favor with the prince is not as great as before."
Patting Wei Shuangxue's hand, Yu Yin continued, "The master trusts you completely. You are beautiful and a very good person. If you could become one of His Majesty's concubines, you would surely be favored and could even help the master..."
He rattled off a long string of words, but Wei Shuangxue became increasingly confused as she listened, her eyes filled with nothing but bewilderment.
Yu Yin then realized that this person was not clever and had no ulterior motives, and all her last doubts and suspicions disappeared.
Seeing that Wei Shuangxue was still trying to refuse, she pretended to be angry: "What, you keep saying that you are loyal to your master, but now that your master is asking you to do this, you are unwilling?"
Wei Shuangxue flinched, as if she had been frightened. "This servant... this servant did not mean that."
After a long pause, she continued, "Since it is your order, then this servant will naturally obey."
Yu Yin was secretly delighted and smiled, comforting her, "Don't worry, this is the master's order. She won't blame you. The master is very happy that you agreed."
Yu Yin took out a small wooden box from her bosom and handed it over, saying, "This is jewelry and some silver notes that Master gave you. Please accept them and wait for Master's arrangements."
