At this time in the Shangshu Mansion, Lianyi, with a bulging belly, was lying on the couch, eating fruit and communicating with Duoduo through telepathy. Xuanfeng was lying beside her, being stroked by her from time to time.
"Master, 'Flash in the Pan' has taken effect."
"The second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion has become ugly?"
Ripple asked casually.
“It’s starting to get ugly.”
"You improved the poison?"
"Yes! She will never be able to practice cultivation in her lifetime, so I just injected the 'Hundred Days of Beauty' poison into her body, causing her to slowly become ugly. Her sudden weakness before was because her body could not withstand the poison that damaged her appearance."
Duoduo explained immediately.
Even if the poison from the cultivation world was diluted a thousand times, it was still not something that a mortal body could withstand, so she only sent the part that would damage her appearance into the body of the second young lady.
"Who discovered it?"
"Madam Hou."
"How did they do it?"
"I asked an old doctor to see the doctor."
"Did you find out anything?"
Ripple asked with a smile, she wasn't worried about being discovered at all.
"It's certain that nothing can be found. The result of taking the pulse is that the body is weak and the blood is deficient. I just need to take good care of myself."
Duoduo replied immediately.
He is at least at the fourth level, so doing this kind of thing is easy for him.
"Okay, you don't have to monitor the Marquis' Mansion for now. Let them do whatever they want."
Ripple said calmly.
"Master, your so-called husband has been staying in Aunt Gao's room recently. Aren't you worried?"
Duoduo asked in a mean way.
"Why should I worry? Didn't you do something to him early in the morning? Who else can he make pregnant?"
"Hehe, the master is still awesome. I did cut off Lin Yaozu's ability to get pregnant, but Aunt Gao found someone else!"
Duoduo said gloatingly.
"Hey! Lin Yaozu is being cuckolded."
"Isn't it? That Concubine Gao was afraid of losing favor, so she used this method.
After you became pregnant, Madam Lin stopped giving contraceptive soup to the concubines. Aunt Gao also believed that she would definitely get pregnant, so she worked very hard to serve Lin Yaozu.
Lin Yaozu himself was happy to be a stud. Since you didn't get pregnant before, it was not convenient for Madam Lin to stop giving the two concubines the contraceptive soup. After all, there was no reason to let a concubine's son be born before a legitimate son.
Unfortunately, Aunt Gao has been trying so hard to get pregnant but hasn't been able to. Now that you are carrying twins, she can't reach into your yard, so she can only focus on her own belly.
Unfortunately, she didn't get any results, so she took a risk and borrowed seeds from others."
Duoduo stood at the forefront of eating melons.
"Who did you borrow this seed from?"
Ripple asked.
"She is just a concubine in the backyard. Whose seed can she borrow? Lin Yaozu's personal servant!"
"Tsk tsk, you are really capable. I just don't know what Lin Yaozu will do after he finds out."
Lianyi said while petting the cat.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention to the follow-up progress."
Lianyi was enjoying the gossip when Nanny Sun came over with a post:
"Madam, this is a letter sent by the Marquis's wife. She said that the weather is hot now, so she held a chrysanthemum banquet in the Marquis's mansion. It's a good opportunity to invite you back to the mansion."
"when?"
"Ten days later."
"I understand. Tell mother that I will be back when the time comes. I miss them, too."
Ripple said with a smile.
"Yes, Madam, I will ask the person who delivered the invitation to take the message back right away."
Nanny Sun also breathed a sigh of relief. If the young lady was unwilling to go back, she would have to spend time persuading her. Now that the young lady agreed so readily, it saved her some trouble.
Xuanfeng looked at Nanny Sun's hurriedly leaving back, meowed twice, and then transmitted the message:
"Master, there is no good feast. They must be targeting your stomach."
"My Tornado can even use idioms now, and he speaks well."
Ripple praised as he stroked Tornado's head.
"Master, are you still going?"
"Go, why not? Go to the theater!"
Ripple said calmly.
"I can protect myself, and there are Duoduo and you too! What should I be afraid of?"
"Okay, I'll accompany the master then."
When Xuanfeng heard that he could go with them, he calmly lay down and continued to doze off.
After receiving the reply, the Marquis's wife also breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that if she failed to drug her eldest daughter this time, she would never have another chance in the future.
Especially when she went to see her youngest daughter these two days, her youngest daughter's face became even uglier. The facial features were still the same, and the placement was fine, but it was just indescribably ugly.
The Marquis of Anding's Mansion used connections, but Doctor Wen couldn't see anything. He only said that the little daughter was weak and had a deficiency of blood and qi, and needed to be taken good care of. However, it had been more than half a year, and there had been no significant improvement, and she was very anxious.
The wealthy families in the imperial city must have received quite a few invitations to banquets in the summer, and they would selectively attend a few of them. This was considered as a form of socializing among the ladies, and also as a way of socializing for their masters. Some people were very keen on these.
Therefore, the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet at the Marquis of Anding's Mansion was very lively and many people went. The two young masters of the mansion also invited some colleagues and friends they were familiar with to join in the fun.
After getting up early in the morning, Lianyi was helped to dress up by Meizhi. She wore a purple and pink skirt, a ruby headpiece, and jade ornaments on the hem of her skirt. A group of people followed her and got on the carriage to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion.
Mrs. Lin actually didn't want Lianyi to leave the house. Her daughter-in-law was now six months pregnant, and her belly looked like it was eight months big. She was very worried, but the note was sent by Mrs. Marquis Anding's confidant, so she must be missing her daughter, and she couldn't stop it.
At this time, Madam Lin felt a little resentful towards Madam Hou. She knew that her daughter was pregnant with twins, but she, as a mother, was not considerate. What was wrong with her coming to the Shangshu Mansion to see her daughter just because she missed her daughter?
So when Lianyi went out, she sent Nanny Zhen, who was by her side, to keep an eye on her daughter-in-law's belly and make sure there were no mistakes.
Lianyi was accompanied by Nanny Sun, as well as four personal maids, Meizhi, Fangcao, Hongqi and Lucui, as well as a strong servant and two boy servants. The group entered the backyard in a mighty manner.
When the Marquis's wife saw Lianyi, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes. The complexion of her eldest daughter was indeed better. If you didn't look at her belly, who would have known that she was more than six months pregnant.
"Lian Yi, you're here."
Mrs. Hou immediately said with a smile.
"Hello mother. I'm getting heavier now, so I have to prepare a lot of things when I go out. It took some time. They treat me like porcelain now."
Lianyi said while holding Nanny Sun’s hand.
"That's as I should. I was originally planning to go to the Marquis' Mansion to see you, but my old bones couldn't hold up. It was hot and I put an extra basin of ice in the room, so I felt uncomfortable. I was afraid that I would make you sick when I saw you.
Or maybe your father is thinking of hosting a chrysanthemum viewing party so that he can invite you back to relax for a day."
With just two words, the Marquis's wife turned the situation around and put the blame of holding the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet on her adopted daughter.
