Xiuqing looked at Qiu Yinong in confusion. Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "It's okay. Before eating, take a pill that can help you recover!"
Although Yan Zhuyun was puzzled, she also knew that Qiu Yinong would not harm her, so she took it and put it in her mouth.
Xiuqing was not surprised that Qiu Yinong knew some medical knowledge.
After dinner, she let Yan Zhuyun go to bed and asked Xiuqing to stay in the house. Qiu Yinong also put a restriction on the child to ensure that she would not be replaced again, and then she left.
"I'll go take a look around the kitchen." Qiu Yinong said to her husband who was guarding the yard.
Chu Hongyun nodded, and there were four more guards guarding the courtyard.
The four guards who appeared out of nowhere were summoned by Qiu Yinong and would be absolutely loyal to Yan Zhuyun.
Everyone had a new memory in their minds. Yan Zhuyun was the granddaughter of the old prime minister, her father had saved the late emperor, and her aunt was the current queen.
These private soldiers were bestowed by the emperor on the old prime minister and the queen.
Originally, when the old Prime Minister was still around, Marquis Zhongyong did not dare to look down on Yan Zhuyun. Later, when he found out that Aunt Lu had secretly swapped two children, he still let her go because he felt that Yan Zhuyun was always superior to him.
Later he dared to tell the truth because the Queen had passed away and his daughter with Concubine Lu was chosen by the Crown Prince as his principal wife, so he no longer had to worry.
Now that he had this memory in his mind and had these private soldiers with him, he dared not act recklessly.
The reason why Aunt Lu was able to exchange the child was that the midwife took the child away in a bamboo basket and then returned Aunt Lu's child in a bamboo basket.
It is reasonable that private soldiers would not check the midwife's things at will.
But they didn't expect that Qiu Yinong would appear. With a snap of her fingers, she exchanged the child back.
Qiu Yinong went straight to the kitchen. The cooks were busy at work. Seeing the head aunt beside the Madam coming, she quickly came forward and flattered him: "Oh, it's Aunt Qiu. What do you want, Madam?"
"Miss Xiuqing has just come to take away the tonic soup."
"If you need anything, I will do it for you right away." This aunt was a senior palace maid who had served the Empress in the palace. No one in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion dared to look down on her.
Now that she is married and has children, no one dares to mess with her because her husband is a legitimate third-rank guard commander.
"I just came to see her. After all, my wife just gave birth today, and Aunt Lu is probably almost done giving birth too."
"Aunt, Aunt Lu has also given birth. I heard it's a girl." The cook said hurriedly, glancing at another pot that was steaming.
Qiu Yinong also took a look, but before she could say anything, a maid walked in arrogantly.
Seeing Qiu Yinong there, he frowned slightly, and first glanced at her with disdain, holding the handkerchief, and then asked loudly: "Is Aunt Lu's tonic soup ready?"
"Has it been opened before? If Aunt Lu drinks it and it tastes wrong, you'll be in trouble."
After hearing this, Qiu Yinong sneered out loud, and the maid looked at her unhappily.
"You mean me, the one who was opened?"
The maid's expression became a little unnatural, and Qiu Yinong continued, "If my wife really couldn't tolerate your concubine Lu, she wouldn't have allowed her in in the first place."
"With the support of the old Prime Minister and the Empress, how difficult would it be to ensure that the Marquis never takes a concubine in his lifetime?"
"What you just said was meant to insult me. How come I've been in the Marquis' Mansion for so long that you've all forgotten my status as a first-class palace maid?"
"I don't need to bow when meeting the Marquis and the Old Madam. It's fine that you didn't even address me as Aunt, but you're also speculating that I touched your Aunt's soup?"
"I, Qiu Yinong, always deal with people in an open and honest manner." As the name suggests, I drugged you in front of you, but you couldn't tell.
The maid trembled with fear and knelt down quickly.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm just being mean."
"Forget it, get up. I'm not the master of this house. There's no need to bully a little maid like you."
The maid then stood up and walked to the pot, opened the lid, but still took a worried look at it.
However, he didn't know that when Qiu Yinong came in, she had already put sterilization medicine in the soup.
It's not that she is cruel, but that Aunt Lu was the one who attacked Yan Zhuyun first and gave her sterilization drugs.
This woman is so cruel. She wants Yan Zhuyun to never have children again so that she can only be good to her daughter and focus all her energy on her "daughter".
Since that was the case, Qiu Yinong would fulfill her wish and let her and Marquis Zhongyong have no descendants.
Qiu Yinong said to the cook, "I'll make some rooster soup for Madam tonight, and serve it with some lighter dishes."
The cook quickly agreed, and after Qiu Yinong finished speaking, she turned and left the kitchen.
After the maid and the others left, she became arrogant again: "Did Aunt Qiu really not touch anything just now?"
The cooks present all said, "Really, no, my aunt just came in not long ago, and before she could say anything, you came over."
"Yeah." Qiutou believed it when she saw everyone saying so.
He walked away with the soup in his hand, twisting his waist.
The cook snorted, "A servant of a concubine, acting like she's worth two thousand five hundred and eighty thousand all day long, isn't she just relying on the Marquis's favor?"
"Hmph, no matter how much I pamper her, she's still a concubine and will never be superior to the Madam. The Madam is the daughter of the Prime Minister and the niece of the Empress."
"Okay, Aunt Ge, don't let that little bitch hear it." Another cook quickly comforted her.
The cook snorted, Qiu Yinong returned to the main courtyard, and Yan Zhuyun had not woken up yet.
Xiuqing was sitting there dozing off. Qiu Yinong walked over and patted her: "Go and have a rest. I'll watch over here."
"aunt……"
"Go." Qiu Yinong spoke again, and Xiuqing bowed gratefully.
After Xiuqing left, Qiu Yinong found a place to sit down and read a book in her hand.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard. Qiu Yinong turned around and saw a handsome young man appear there.
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, who else could it be but the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?
Qiu Yinong's appearance at this moment was only 20% of her original appearance, but Nan Haochen was still amazed when he saw her.
"Aunt Qiu, I'm here to visit your wife." Seeing Qiu Yinong looking at him, Nan Haochen quickly bowed and performed a half-salute.
Qiu Yinong put down the book in her hand, stood up and bowed to him: "Madam is tired from giving birth and is still resting. My Lord, please don't disturb her."
"Aunt is right. Madam has worked hard today. I was away on business and just came back to visit Madam."
Qiu Yinong didn't expose him, but nodded with a smile: "Madam has given you a daughter. The Marquis is handsome and the Madam is beautiful. The daughter will definitely be a beautiful lady in the future."
"Aunt, you are too kind." As he said this, he walked towards the cradle and looked at the sleeping child.
It's wrinkled and red, not very pretty.
"Since Madam and Bao'er are still asleep, I will go visit Aunt Lu first, and then go to work."
Qiu Yinong nodded. Nan Haochen looked at Qiu Yinong again, and finally his eyes fell on her slightly bulging belly, then he turned and left.
