Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 211 Ancient World 28: Incident

Zuo Zhizhi calculated the time and realized that Hongying should be pregnant for several months now, and it was time to confront the people in the mansion.

I just don't know what method she plans to use to allow herself to enter the mansion openly. Fortunately, the two families are relatives. When the time comes, I can ask my mother to go over and check it out. Maybe I can even see the live version!

Not long after, Zuo Zhizhi heard Deng Zijin talk about this matter, "Something happened in the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion. I'm worried that He Ling can't handle it, so I'm going to go take a look today."

Zuo Hexin also nodded continuously.

Their family originally did not have a high nobility title, and now their brother inherited only an ordinary first-class general, which could not even be ranked among the wealthy families in the capital.

If something really happens, I may not be able to hold on.

Therefore, Deng Zijin, who came from the Rong'an Earl's Mansion, was the best helper.

When Zuo Zhizhi learned that her mother was going to the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion, she immediately followed her. Although she was reluctant to agree, she couldn't resist Zuo Zhizhi's constant pleading, so she followed without hesitation.

When they arrived, they found that the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was already in commotion.

But this was not the time to join in the fun, so Deng Zijin pulled Zuo Heling aside.

Since there are guests coming, it is natural for the mistress of the house to accompany them. As for the affairs of the eldest house's family, they will naturally be left to them to handle.

Zuo Heling also looked helpless. "I didn't expect the eldest branch to get to this point! That girl is already six or seven months pregnant. If we abort the baby now, I'm afraid there will be two deaths. But Prince An's daughter is not someone to be trifled with. She's clamoring to go back to her parents' home!"

Deng Zijin also looked disapproving. How could a man want both a wife from a wealthy family and a gentle and considerate concubine? There was no such thing as having the best of both worlds!

Ma Nanfeng can't control himself, nor can he control his wife. It's probably difficult to resolve this matter today.

Zuo Heling is a stepmother and has two sons. In this dispute, no matter which side she stands on, she will definitely not end up well.

After all, if the couple is arguing and you try to mediate, you will offend both of them, so it is best to leave now.

Although they were chatting aside, there were still people who kept passing on the news, so they could know what was happening in the backyard.

Just when Duan Xiangjun was extremely angry, Hongying had already started her own plan. She was originally just hiding behind when everyone was arguing.

I don’t know when it started, but Hongying’s face was sweating, and she kept holding her stomach and crying “Ouch, ouch”.

Although Duan Xiangjun really wanted to kill this bitch, Wenchang Bo and the old lady of Wenchang Bo's Mansion were still alive, so they naturally couldn't bear to see her die like this.

So he immediately sent someone to call the court doctor.

After examination, the government doctor believed that Hongying had come into contact with musk, which caused her stomachache. Fortunately, the exposure time was not too long, so the child was safe and sound.

Everyone looked at Duan Xiangjun with suspicion, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

But Duan Xiangjun was not someone to be trifled with. She angrily said to everyone, "Then let's investigate thoroughly to find out what went wrong!"

Duan Xiangjun only discovered today that Hongying was pregnant, so it naturally couldn't have been her doing.

But after finding out, Duan Xiangjun stared at the court doctor with an incredible look, "Are you telling the truth?"

The court doctor knew the seriousness of the matter and said without hesitation, "This incense contains musk. If women use it for a long time, it will be difficult for them to have children!"

Duan Xiangjun didn't know what to say because these spices belonged to her.

The reason why Duan Xiangjun discovered that there was a person hiding in the backyard was because she knew that her spices were running low. She originally thought that Ma Nanfeng was using them himself, but when she came over, she found that there was a pregnant woman hiding inside.

This is how the incident came to light.

But now, the court doctor said that there is musk in these spices. Could this be the reason why I haven't been pregnant in the past few years?

Duan Xiangjun no longer had the mood to care about Hongying.

Whether she is pregnant or not is secondary. The most important thing is to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Duan Xiangjun left in a daze, leaving Hongying alone here. Seeing this, the old lady ordered that Hongying be made a concubine.

Although we can't hold a grand wedding now, a small yard is still fine.

The servants did not dare to delay and cleaned up the house as quickly as possible, and Hongying also moved in quickly.

I didn't have an official identity before, so I lived in the ear room next to the young master's room.

Now that I have my own identity, I naturally have a small courtyard.

Only after everyone left did Hongying smile.

Because she had planned this matter long ago.

In her previous life, after she caused two deaths, she did not leave immediately, but saw the subsequent story.

Although Duan Xiangjun was the daughter of Prince An, she was married after all, so it was impossible for her to rely on her father in everything.

The most important thing is that she still has no children after being married for several years, and she is very anxious.

Ma Nanfeng didn't dare to keep anyone else outside openly anymore, but he did keep some people in his house, but he had to feed them contraceptive soup every day.

After all, he also wanted to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible to completely convince Prince An, but unfortunately, several years passed without any result.

Under the arrangement of the old lady, he still took a concubine. Duan Xiangjun was very dissatisfied and returned to her parents' home.

But after she had lived in the palace for a while, she received some bad news: her body had been corroded by musk and she might not be able to have children anymore!

Duan Xiangjun immediately led her men back to the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. After all, she had not been pregnant for so many years, and they had ridiculed her openly and secretly. But now she realized that it was because her body was eroded by musk!

She was obviously fine when she got married, so it must be those little bitches in the Yongchang Marquis's mansion who did something bad to make her childless so that they could have a chance.

However, when Duan Xiangjun rushed to the scene with the imperial physician, after a careful examination, they found that the reason why she was eroded by musk was actually the spices she often used.

Duan Xiangjun looked at the spices quietly, because they were gifts given to her by her sister when she got married. Because she liked them, she kept lighting them. She never expected that these would be the cause of her tragic fate.

As for what happened later, Hongying didn't look into it in detail, but it was enough.

Now that I have revealed the news of my pregnancy, first of all, I can let the people in Wenchang Marquis's Mansion promote me as a concubine, and there will be no problems.

Secondly, Duan Xiangjun herself is unable to have children, so naturally she cannot stop others from getting pregnant. If she gives birth to a eldest son, the son may even be adopted by Duan Xiangjun, and then he will legitimately inherit the Wenchang Earl's Mansion.

Even if it is not possible, the status of the eldest son is different, so it is worth a try.

Duan Xiangjun will be trying to find ways to avenge herself for the next period of time, and she probably won't have the energy to deal with herself. She can take advantage of this time to give birth safely.
