"Second Master, I dare not have any unreasonable expectations. I just hope that this child can have a proper status."
"Even if you ask me to die immediately, I will do it willingly."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You and your son will always be the apple of my eye. How can the Third Miss of the Liu family be compared with you?"
"Second Master, this servant and this servant understand your intentions."
A woman's sweet laughter was heard.
Zhao Yunzhu, his master and his servant looked at each other in shock.
I didn't expect that I would come across such explosive news just when I came out to digest my food.
Soon, bursts of rustling sounds came from the other side of the rockery, accompanied by the heavy breathing of men and women.
Linglong's face turned red with arrogance, and she raised her hands to cover her ears.
Aunt Hua also looked a little embarrassed.
Zhao Yunzhu and her men turned around and hid to the other side, but did not go far. She wanted to know who the maid was who had a secret meeting with the second son of the Du family, Du Mingwei.
After a while, the two of them walked out from behind the rockery.
Young Master Du took a careful look around and seeing nothing unusual, he waved towards the rockery.
At this time, a woman in a light pink dress and with a bright and charming face came out from the rockery.
"Is it her?"
After watching the two of them walk away, Zhao Yunzhu left with Aunt Hua and Linglong.
On the way back, her heart was beating wildly.
It was because the maid was Mingyue in Madam Du’s room.
That night, the three people who had just fallen asleep suddenly heard a few muffled groans coming from the base of the wall.
Aunt Hua sat up suddenly, looking alert.
Linglong protected Zhao Yunzhu tightly behind her.
Until there was a gentle knock on the door, "Concubine Yun, someone tried to throw a magic potion, but was knocked unconscious."
Zhao Yunzhu put on her coat and shoes, followed Aunt Hua and walked towards the door.
As soon as the door was opened, he saw two old women who had been thrown unconscious at the door. They were from Madam Du's room.
"Just send him to the second room."
She didn't know what Madam Du was planning to do, but she couldn't tolerate such a plot against her.
The next morning, after washing up, she went to Madam Du's yard.
"Why is Yunzhu here today?"
Madam Du asked her to sit down and said, "I came here today to discuss something with you."
As she spoke, she glanced inside the room. Madam Du understood and signaled the maid to take the servants out of the room.
"Yunzhu, what happened?"
"Yesterday, I accidentally saw Second Young Master Du secretly meeting Mingyue in Old Madam Du's room."
Madam Du's pupils shrank, and her eyes were filled with shock.
But what Zhao Yunzhu said next shocked Mrs. Du even more.
"Mingyue is already one month pregnant."
"What?"
Madam Du suddenly jumped up from her chair with a serious look on her face. If such a scandal were to spread out, how would the Yong'an Marquisate have any face left?
After all, the maid was in the old lady's room.
Du Mingwei is really outrageous.
After Zhao Yunzhu left, he returned to the yard and saw that the food on the table seemed to be much richer than in the past few days.
I asked the maid, but there was no movement from Madam Du's side.
As usual, Aunt Hua took out a silver needle to test the poison. The next second, the silver needle turned black.
"poisonous!"
Aunt Hua's face suddenly changed, and her fingertips tightly grasped the silver needle.
"It seems someone doesn't like me disturbing the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion."
The purpose of the Yong'an Marquis and his wife letting her live in their mansion was to compete with Old Lady Du for the position of the Crown Prince.
After all, she has a special identity.
As long as the Yong'an Marquis and his wife do not approve of the divorce letter written by Old Lady Du, the Yong'an Marquis will go to the palace to make trouble, but Empress Liu is now in the same camp with the second branch of the Du family.
If I help the second house, it will be difficult to report to Marquis Yong'an.
After much deliberation, the safest way is to let her die quietly.
But I don't know whether it is Old Madam Du or the second branch of the Du family who wants her life.
"Miss, should we go back?"
Aunt Hua used a handkerchief to wipe off the black stain on the silver needle and put it into her purse.
"There's no rush. Let's see what Madam Du does before making a decision." It seems Madam Du will not be idle either.
She brought such great news today. As long as it is used properly, the position of the crown prince can still be negotiated.
"Mammy, give the order. These days, we will do all the food shopping ourselves. Don't ask others to do it for us."
Aunt Hua wrote them down one by one.
Mrs. Du did not disappoint Zhao Yunzhu after all, and Mingyue disappeared that day.
At first, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du II did not take this matter to heart.
Until the second son of the Du family came to Madam Du with a sad face and begged for mercy.
Mrs. Du felt as if the sky had fallen.
He slapped his son again and again, and kept scolding Du Mingwei for being useless.
There was no other way at the moment, and it was impossible to conceal it. Madam Du Er could only report the truth to Madam Du.
Mrs. Du almost fainted from anger.
After careful questioning, the servants and maids at all the gates of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion said that they had not seen Mingyue leave the house.
Madam Du ordered people to search the house thoroughly, as if they were going to dig deep into the ground.
Mrs. Du also came to help, but Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du did not tell her the truth.
No one else knew that Mingyue was pregnant with Du Mingwei's child except Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du II.
Madam Du brought people to search Zhao Yunzhu's yard.
He took the opportunity to pull Zhao Yunzhu away from the crowd and talk in private.
"Yunzhu, wait until Mingyue's matter is over. The old lady promised the Marquis that he would choose his own heir. By then, Queen Liu will no longer embarrass you. You can go back."
