  Zhu Yichan had already turned around: "Mai Dong, come in and invite her out." He was secretly amused, Ke Qi stared at him tightly! A smile had already appeared on his face.

  A young servant in his teens came in and said to Yiren: "Miss Yiren, please go back."

  He glanced at the Second Master, who had already ignored him, and then looked at the young servant, whose face was full of sly smiles, as if he knew everything. His face couldn't be saved, so he could only lower his head and leave with a embarrassed expression.

  Back in the front and back yards of the corridor, Qing Guo and Jing Er were staring at her, looking at her coming over with a cold voice: "Yi Ren girl, the second lady has invited you."

  She panicked for a moment, then thought to herself, "I haven't done anything either!" She secretly told herself not to be afraid and to calm down, thinking that since she hadn't done anything wrong, the second wife couldn't do anything to her.

  She slightly lifted her heart and came to the main house. When she entered the room, she saw the second lady and hurriedly paid her respects: "Second Lady, you're looking for me?"

  Chu Ke asked with a smile: "Have you gone to the front yard?"

  She hesitated for a moment, then thought of a safe answer and hastily said: "I remember, the study hasn't been swept for a long time..."

  "Isn't it the servant's job to sweep the study? Do you know this?"

  "Servant... servant sometimes goes..." Chu Keqi's eyes widened in surprise: "Often go to the front yard? How can this be! A young lady's family, what is most important? Reputation is most important! Often going to the place where servants and underlings serve, aren't you afraid of being seen by those people? Don't you know that if a young lady's family is seen by outsiders, there is only one way out?"

  "The slave is not..."

  "Second Madam! Just now it was Xiao Dong, the little servant by Second Master's side, who came to fetch Yiren back! He even sent her all the way to the dressing room!"

  Chu Ke nodded vaguely: "So that's how it is, nothing can be done about it now. Since Mai Dong has already seen her, she can only be given to him cheaply. Come on." She pointed at Yi Ren who was smiling and said: "Give Yi Ren a dowry, and arrange for her to marry Mai Dong today!"

  She let out a cry of surprise and quickly knelt down to kowtow, her mouth babbling: "Second Madam... Slave has not wandered off! Hasn't..."

  Qingguo, Jing'er and others wouldn't let her beg for mercy! Two of them came up and carried her out. Once outside, it's unclear who used what method, but the sound of her cries could no longer be heard. She was dragged away with a series of 'wu wu wu' sounds.

  Only Chu Ke'er and Yi Yi, who had turned pale with fright, were left in the house drinking tea.

  Zhu Yichan found the list of grain that Zhuangzi had sent over for New Year's in previous years, and put it outside to prepare for this year's inspection. He wrote a letter calling on Zhuangzi to send things over by early December this year, and told his servant to deliver it. He also ordered Mai Dong to summon the commander of the guards at the manor.

  Tomorrow morning's princes, the mansion has guards, guarding the safety of the Wangfu. Generally, there is a limited number of people. However, most princes will not be limited to those guard numbers.

  The King of Devonshire had about a hundred guards, and the four manors under Zhu Yichen's name also had sixty servants each, fifty of whom were also guards. They just didn't take up guard quotas, and were called servants to outsiders. The four manors had two hundred guards, but only forty real servants.

  These guards are the eyes and ears scattered throughout Shuo State. What Zhu Yuxuan said was not an exaggeration, as soon as strangers enter the borders of Shuo State, they would immediately be watched. Not to mention ordinary people, even if they were guards from other princes' mansions, they could still be spotted. Because for ordinary people, it's hard to tell them apart, but for those who are also guards themselves, it's actually easier to spot them.

  After the commander of the guards arrived, Zhu Yilin instructed him to have his men keep a close eye on these people, especially those from Beijing and Chengde. Also, in the town of Yulin, there is a Qingyuan, protect the people inside that courtyard well.

  The guardian of the king's mansion is generally a descendant of those who have been with the king's ancestors through thick and thin, and are the most trustworthy.

  After instructing these things, Zhu Yucheng came to find the side concubine again. The side concubine was sitting in the house and was still angry. Seeing him come in, she immediately questioned: "Why did you take Ke'er out today?!"

  Zhu Yichen smiled and said: "Mother's news is indeed really quick!"

  "The girls from Zheng's family have already gone to report us! They said we not only went out, but also made a ruckus on the veranda, completely lacking in dignity!"

  Zhu Yichen didn't care at all: "Don't mind them, this is my mansion, wherever I make a scene, they can't control me. If they provoke me again, I'll drive them out."

  The concubine was furious at his nonchalant attitude: "Where did you guys go? What's so important that you had to go out today?!" She turned around and thought for a moment, then immediately put on a serious face and asked sternly: "Did you go see Little Auntie? Is she really here?!"

  Zhu Yicheng sighed inwardly, what a tiring thing to hide from his own mother! But he couldn't say anything, Chu Tao's matter was even hidden from his father Chu Nancai, and his mother's temperament was too straightforward, it was really possible that she would accidentally reveal the secret.

  He could only nod carefully and say, "I'm going to see my mother-in-law... Don't worry for now! According to what the child said, my mother-in-law is fine now, nothing's wrong with her, and she doesn't have the heart to become a nun anymore. However, you really can't go see her for the time being..."

  "Why?!" The concubine immediately questioned: "My own sister, why can't I go see her? If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Ke'er! Let's see if she dares to deceive me too!"

  "Mother!" Zhu Yichen shouted angrily.

  "What's wrong?"

  Now it's Zhu Yuchen's turn to be furious, and after half a day, he reluctantly said: "Then I'll ask... Little Auntie, it's not that they don't want you to go, they..."

  "Does he also know about the affair of the fifth son of the Duke of De Xing? What is this mysterious child up to?"

  Zhu Yichan suddenly remembered what his mother-in-law had said, and hastily interrupted: "Right, Mother, I went to see my mother-in-law today, and she said that since Qianxi is still young, can't we... not have children yet? She said it's too early for her to give birth, it's dangerous..."

  The concubine stared blankly and said: "Really saw Little Aunt?"

  "Can kids cheat you?!"

  The concubine nodded and then said with difficulty: "Not pregnant? That won't do..."

  "If it's really dangerous, then let's listen to Auntie Yue!"

  The concubine complained: "If Father knows in the underworld, he will know that I have no choice but to fight with you! How can I face our ancestors in the future..."

  "Oh dear mother!" Zhu Yichen cried and laughed at the same time: "It's just two years late, wait until it's safe, giving you three or four big fat grandsons should be enough, right?"

  The concubine's face was full of complaints, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "There is no good way..."

  Zhu Yi Chen thought his mother was still unwilling, so he pushed back and hastily said: "I know there's a Avoidance Son Soup, let Kaier drink that..."

  The concubine's face changed greatly as she slapped him hard on the body, angrily saying: "Who told you?! Don't want your wife's life anymore?!"

  Zhu Yichan didn't think it was that serious and hastily said, "When I was a child, my father told me... he said that the Empress gave Concubine Yi something to drink, after drinking it, she wouldn't give birth to children. The two concubines haven't given birth all these years, but they're still living well?"

  "Father knew all along?!" The concubine's eyes widened in shock.

  Zhu Yichan looked at her and saw that she was still concerned about this, so he asked somewhat anxiously: "Is it... Mother, can the abortion potion be drunk after all?"

  The concubine came back to her senses, shook her head and said: "Can't drink that, it's from the cold palace, very harmful to the body. And when you want to get pregnant, it's also not easy to conceive."

  Zhu Yichan was startled and immediately dispelled that thought.

  The concubine seemed to have a heavy heart and said: "Alright, I know. Later, call the doctor over for a visit... What else did Little Aunt say?"

  "There's nothing more to say." Zhu Yichen shook his head.

  "They hastily discussed and decided that tomorrow... at the latest in a few days, I must see her!"

  Zhu Yichan reluctantly agreed.

  "Right, is your injury serious? The doctor will be here soon, I'll call you over for a check..."

  "No, no, no! Don't worry, it's almost healed!" Zhu Yichen hastily said, and then quickly added: "I'll go back first!" and hurriedly ran away.

  The imperial concubine on this side shook her head and quickly called someone to find a doctor to ask, the doctor also said that avoiding child soup hurts the body of the child, as for other medicines, there is no such effective one, saying that if you don't get pregnant, taking medicine won't make you pregnant, when you want to get pregnant, stop taking the medicine and you can get pregnant immediately.

  The concubine had no choice but to ask the doctor, "Is it very dangerous for a 15-year-old girl to give birth?"

  The doctor said: "As long as you're in good health and pay attention during pregnancy, most women give birth to their first child at 15 or 16."

  The imperial concubine asked in detail how to take care of the new daughter-in-law's body, and the doctor wrote a large list, only then did the imperial concubine feel at ease, planning to mention it when she saw her sister.

  Zhu Yichan returned to his own courtyard, and saw the gatekeeper's wife beaming with joy. As he walked further in, he also saw that his servants were all flushed with excitement. He felt a little puzzled, and asked with a smile: "What's going on that makes you all so happy?"

  His other little servant, called Xiao Dong, smiled and hurried back: "The second lady gave Yiren to Mai Dong! They are having a wedding now! The second lady also gave each of the servants in the yard a red envelope with ten taels of silver!"

  Zhu Yichan smiled and said: "Are we going to have a happy drink tonight?!"

  "Yes! Grandpa!" Several people were more excited than one another.

  Zhu Yichan smiled and hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard, hearing the young servants behind him still discussing: "That kid Mai Dong is really lucky!"

  "Today was my shift! I had a stomachache, so I asked him to cover for me for just a bit! Just that little while! Ah, it's killing me... My wife..."

  "Whatever..."

  "Hmph! Don't be envious yet! Those who came out of those rooms have eyes on top of their heads! Can they live a good life with us?" The voice became much softer: "You guys don't think about it, today is the second day grandma entered our home... That girl was sent away... Isn't that disrespecting grandma?"

  "I think so too! I've seen that girl before, and I even went up to greet her. Well, she didn't even bat an eyelid at me! Ha! I said not marrying her might not be a bad thing after all!"

  Zhu Yichan listened with a smile and continued walking into the house.
