"Yeah, it's good that you know. From now on, don't take care of the Ye family because of your sister. It's not worth it."
"All you have to do is work hard to climb up. The higher you climb, the more confident I'll be. Even if we divorce in the future, you won't have to worry about being bullied."
Although Zhu Tingzhou is only twelve years old, he is mature beyond his years.
Zhu Xianyue also felt that instead of waiting until things were done before telling him, it would be better to let him know now, which would make him feel better.
"Sister, take care of yourself."
"Um."
This time, the brother and sister did not quarrel.
But because of the differences between men and women, there was no overly intimate behavior between them.
Finally, Zhu Tingzhou watched Zhu Xianyue leave the Zhu Mansion.
His hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly.
Sister, I will definitely be your strongest support.
You wait.
…
Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
Because Zhu Xianyue was delayed in returning home, Qiu Sese's concubine tea would be served the next day.
However, Ye Mucheng had already sent people to clean up the courtyard for her.
"I pay my respects to the mistress." Qiu Sese also came over supported by a maid and bowed politely.
Although he hadn't formally taken a concubine, the matter was already set in stone, so it was okay for Qiu Sese to bow to her like this.
Zhu Xianyue's eyes turned red as she faced the wind and said, "...Yeah."
Shudie stood in front of Zhu Xianyue and said, "Our Madam is tired. Auntie, please don't bother her anymore. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be blamed on our Liuli Hall!"
Zhu Xianyue could see that the maid Shudie was protecting her, but she was also taking this opportunity to suppress Qiu Sese.
Qiu Sese's current identity is Shudie's distant cousin.
After hearing Shudie say this, Qiu Sese felt bitter inside, but she had to agree.
"I didn't mean that..."
Zhu Xianyue smelled the scent of mugwort on Qiu Sese, which could not be covered by the sachet.
I guess Qiu Sese is already secretly trying to protect the fetus.
Pregnant women are most afraid of emotional ups and downs. Qiu Sese’s pregnancy...
Zhu Xianyue looked at Qiu Sese's belly thoughtfully.
Qiu Sese took the opportunity to puff out her belly, as if to show off.
Shudie couldn't bear it any longer and sneered angrily, "Are you so arrogant just because you have a baby? You have to remember that things change over time. When the real legitimate son is born, what will your child be?"
These words made Qiu Sese's face turn pale.
"Miss Shudie, I have no intention of letting my child usurp the title of legitimate son... If you have misunderstood, I would rather give up this opportunity and not let the child go to the mistress... to avoid affecting the future legitimate son..."
"It's great that you think so..." Shudie didn't realize that she had fallen into Qiu Sese's trap.
I still feel pretty proud of myself.
If Zhu Xianyue didn't speak up, Qiu Sese would really raise the child under her knees - if she could give birth to it.
"Enough, Shudie, stop talking," Zhu Xianyue consoled him. "I have a cold constitution, and the doctor said it would be difficult for me to get pregnant. If I could raise Aunt Qiu's child as my own, it would be a good thing."
Shudie: "...Madam, you...can't have children?"
Zhu Xianyue lowered her head: "Yeah."
In an instant, Qiu Sese and Shudie's eyes lit up.
Zhu Xianyue, however, looked like she was recalling something sad. She had no intention of staying here any longer and said, "Let's go back."
Shudie hurried to follow.
When they arrived at the Liuli Hall, they dismissed everyone and only left Shudie.
