Danruo stood up to drink water and accidentally touched the teacup. Hearing the noise, the maid waiting outside knew that the lady had woken up, so she knocked on the door gently.
"Come in."
After Dan Ruo finished speaking, a maid in emerald green clothes brought a bowl of black soup and said soothingly:
"Madam, you can't secretly pour the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by the doctor into the flowerpot anymore. Drinking it is better for you and the child."
She was helpless. The lady still didn't like taking medicine like when she was a child, but now for the sake of the lady and the young master's health, she had to supervise the lady.
This is Qiu'er, the original owner's personal maid, who has always been loyal to the original owner.
The original owner had been hiding the matter of the child from her, and she thought it was her own little master.
In the previous life, the princess whom King Jing married later found out that the child was King Jing's blood, so she sent someone to assassinate him. In order to save the child, she was hit by several arrows and died on the spot.
Another maid in light yellow clothes took the pregnancy-preserving medicine from Qiu'er's hand and said to her in a condescending tone:
"I'll take care of the lady, you don't have to worry about it. If you have time, why not go outside and trim the flower beds."
This is Caidie, the maid that King Jing recently sent to take care of him. In fact, she is here to monitor him. Relying on the fact that she is King Jing's servant, she feels that she is a maid in the palace and is superior, and she often bullies her maid who came with her as a dowry.
As long as Caidie told the original owner a few words about King Jing, the original owner would forgive Caidie for what she had done to her maid.
Now the time has returned to when she had just announced her pregnancy. Under the arrangement of King Jing and Qi Yizi, she is the only master in the mansion.
The old uncle has been seriously ill for the past two years, and Wen has been accompanying him in his ancestral home to recuperate.
Qi Yizhi said that she was recuperating in a villa outside the capital, but in fact she was hiding in Prince Jing's mansion to take care of her pregnancy.
Dan Ruo cleared her throat and said, "Cai Die, go trim the flower garden. Qiu Er, stay inside and serve."
Caidie looked at Danruo in disbelief, and Danruo frowned in displeasure:
"Is this how you question your master's words? If you think I'm unworthy of your obedience, go back to wherever you were right now."
Caidie knelt down hurriedly, saying that she didn't dare, then retreated with her head down.
Qiu'er came around Danruo and opened her heart: "Madam, ever since you became pregnant, you haven't shown any affection for Qiu'er. It must be that Qiu'er has done something wrong. I have been secretly learning how to take care of pregnant women and the young master. Please don't alienate Qiu'er."
Dan Ruo touched the broken hair on Qiu'er's forehead and smiled gently: "Okay, Qiu'er and I will never be separated."
Then she asked Qiu'er to pack up and they returned to the Su Mansion. Qiu'er was the maiden of the Su Mansion, so she was naturally happy, but she did not forget to urge Danruo to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Dan Ruo complained in her heart that she was not pregnant, so why should she take pregnancy-preserving medicine? She could talk about this matter after returning to the Su Mansion and found an excuse to change the subject.
Qiu'er had no choice but to go to the Su Mansion and ask Madam Su to persuade her master.
Although Caidie was working in the yard, she was always paying attention to the movements in the house. When she saw Qiu'er moving a lot of things onto the carriage, she realized that the lady was going back to the Su family.
No, she had to stop it. There were many people in the Su family who were watching closely. What if Madam Su asked the doctor to take Danruo's pulse and the truth was exposed?
She rushed into the house without notifying anyone and said anxiously:
"Madam, the baby in your belly is still unstable. You can't go back to the Su family, otherwise His Royal Highness Prince Jing will worry about you."
Dan Ruo's expression was cold and he sneered, "How could King Jing think of me? I'm afraid he's currently doting on the pregnant lady in the palace."
Caidie finally understood why Danruo was acting strangely today. It turned out she was jealous. She immediately said with a solemn oath:
"Madam, Prince Jing only has you in his heart. That pregnant slave girl is just because of you. The prince brought the child to you to raise because he considers you his legal wife. After all, in ancient times, illegitimate children were always brought to the legal wife to be raised."
Dan Ruo followed up on her question, "How many legal wives like illegitimate sons? After all, legal wives beating and killing illegitimate sons is not uncommon."
Caidie was speechless. Is she so unvirtuous? She is King Jing's person. Isn't she afraid that the news will reach King Jing's ears?
Danruo opened the door and called her dowry nanny, Nanny Guan.
"Mammy, Caidie broke into the master's bedroom without permission. Bring her down and punish her according to the rules to serve as a warning to others."
Caidie stared at Danruo in disbelief. Nanny Guan had long been dissatisfied with Caidie, who was always arrogant and coaxed Danruo to bully other maids, so she immediately took ruthless action.
Danruo had already boarded the carriage back to the Su Mansion under Qiu'er's care.
