Murong Yao tossed and turned, feeling that all her years of love had gone to waste. She could only blame herself for being blind back then and thinking that the childhood sweetheart was the most loyal of them all. However, she had purposely overlooked the fact that she was not the only childhood sweetheart.

Having lived together for so many years, Murong Yao naturally knew that Zhou Yingxue was never a simple person. Even if Murong Yao were to give herself up, she wouldn't be able to win against Zhou Yingxue even if she were to live once more. If she was the only one, then it would be fine. Just like Chun'er had said, she would take the main wife's seat and accompany them for the rest of their lives. But she had children now.

Zhou Yingxue must have known that it would be extremely difficult for her to bear children, and that her mother-in-law was eager to support her. Most importantly, her husband was an extremely filial son. Or perhaps, her husband had feelings for her in the first place and had just taken advantage of her. Zhou Yingxue had held all the advantages in order to make it to this step. If Zhou Yingxue, who had a child, knew what kind of crazy things she would do at this critical moment when she was only missing one last step, she would be unable to imagine what kind of things she would do if she risked everything.

She, Murong Yao, had lived for Gongsun Ze and the Gongsun Clan for so many years. She wanted to live for him, so she wanted to protect him, her child. So what if she was a young general? It was just a title. If Zhou Yingxue wanted to fight for her child, she could just give it to her. As for the general's wife, as long as the general's mother was still around, she would be nothing more than a servant carrying the title of mistress. With this, she would be able to live her life forever.

After some thought, Murong Yao relaxed a little and let sleepiness hit her. Tomorrow, her 'illness' would be cured. Once her 'illness' was cured, there would be a tough battle to fight. Her mother-in-law was not a pushover.

When Murong Yao fell asleep, Gongsun Ze was still in high spirits, with his eyes wide open. He was responsible for Murong Yao as a husband, responsible for Zhou Yingxue as Gongsun Ze, filial piety as a son to his mother, and a fair and honorable identity as a father to his child.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of directly talking to Murong Yao, but his current identity wasn't ordinary. If Murong Yao caused a ruckus, then the censors would definitely not be easy to deal with. He also wanted to speak nicely to Murong Yao, but her attitude today had really made him embarrassed. She was the one who didn't pay attention to her own health and was sick, and had neglected her mother, but she said so aggressively. This was the only day in the past two years. This was a daughter-in-law. Should a wife treat her mother-in-law and her husband's attitude? In comparison, Yingxue came from the same family as everyone else, so she knew how to be polite.

At that moment, Zhou Yingxue, who had been praised by Gongsun Ze several times in her heart, still hadn't rested. Beside her, the servant girl, Yue'er, was cleaning up the teapot, teacups, vases, etc that she had smashed when the young miss was in a bad mood. This courtyard was quite remote from the start, and Yue'er had only been trying to persuade the Miss. Even if she wanted to act, she shouldn't treat her like this. However, the young miss said that she was going to do the whole set for acting. She picked the one with the worst environment and got angry at General Gongsun these few days. That was why she got a little riled up. It was a good thing that the Miss had a strong body, so she was fine.

"Xiao Yue, can't you move faster? It takes half a day to get rid of these things. What's the use of having you? " If not for the fact that brother Ze only lacked a child, he wouldn't have wanted to have this child even if he beat her to death. How long has it been since she changed, her figure no longer has her usual grace and elegance. Originally, her looks were extremely beautiful. Even if she didn't use rouge or cosmetics, she would still be captivating. But now, even if she didn't use them, she wouldn't be able to do anything. That day, after he was angered, even moving his fetuses would be painful. Truly a small debt collector. When it was born, he would throw it to his mistress. She would never see it again.

Usually, Miss didn't have a particularly good temper. They, the Snow Garden, would always change their teapots the fastest and change them the most. It was all because of Miss's temper. Now that she was pregnant, her temper seemed even more violent. It was hard for them to be servants. No matter what they did, it seemed to be wrong.

"It is this servant's fault, Miss, please calm your anger." Xiao Yue gritted her teeth as she knelt on the ground, the porcelain fragments on the floor had not been cleaned up, and she felt an intense pain in her hands and knees, but did not dare to make a sound. For the past month or so, Miss had always felt that her figure was a little off. Seeing these servants, it was as if she was looking at an enemy, as if any of them wanted to climb into the bed of the future Young Master. Only when he saw the kitchen maid would he feel better.

Xiao Yue was in pain, but she did not dare to cry, tears welling up in her eyes. Zhou Yingxue looked at her pitiful appearance and was angered. "Who are you putting on an act for? I'm not brother Ze, I'm not a lover of women. Go on down, I feel unlucky to see you, go back to the mansion and collect your punishments, call Xiao Xiang over to serve me. " When Xiao Yue heard this, she stood up and left the room without caring about the pain. Going back to the house to receive punishment was much better than staying by the little miss's side.

Zhou Yingxue snorted coldly as she saw Xiao Yue run out of the room as if she had seen a ghost. Then, he recalled that the fragments on the ground had not been cleaned up completely, "Brother Ze, for you, Xue'er suffered here. You have let me down, and you even went to pamper that bitch Murong Yao."

Zhou Yingxue naturally knew the extent of Gongsun Ze's obsession after following him for half a year. She only hated her for having a son and not being able to be pampered by Murong Yao. Hmph, just think of Murong Yao as the girl that she found for Gongsun Ze when she was pregnant. Thinking of this, Zhou Yingxue became a lot happier. Old Lady Gongsun hugged her grandson, and brother Ze was filial and filial. As long as she could become a man in one fell swoop, the general's wife would soon be replaced.

Old Lady Gongsun, who carried her grandson with her, was also tossing and turning on the bed. Master Gongsun had no choice but to get up and lean against the headboard. "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you resting this late at night?"

"Master, tell me, will my wife come to our courtyard today? Did you hear what we said? "How could it be such a coincidence? Are you sick today?"

"The weather has been very hot recently and my wife's health has not been very good. It's not strange for her to be sick. Let me tell you, don't beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it to your wife. She is also very understanding. "Besides, she grew up with Yingxue, so their relationship should be good. If we become a family in the future, we should be able to get along."

"With her personality, she won't be able to hit a fart with three sticks. What if she doesn't pay attention to me? You see, when I told her that I wanted to give Ze'er a concubine, she agreed without hesitation. I wanted to let her think about it for a few days before I let Ze talk to her. I am only worried about your and Ze'er's face. If she doesn't know how to appreciate a favor, hmph, then let Ze'er give her a letter of rest. The first line is' no son ', no matter who it is, they will have nothing to say. "

"You are just impulsive. Why do you always want to urge Ze'er to give up his wife? Even if she can't have children, find something that can give birth to them, and raise them under her name, why must you be so ruthless? After all, she has taken care of our family for so many years. The main reason was that Ze's actions were not very kind. It was only a few months away, and he had been waiting for so many years. "If word of this gets out, then our Gongsun family will have a broken spine."

"If I wasn't so impulsive, my grandson would have been able to call for help. You don't know how happy I was when Yingxue told me that the doctor said she had a big fat kid in her belly. If Ze'er has no children, even if I die, I won't be able to close my eyes, and I won't have the face to see my parents-in-law and the ancestors of the Gongsun family. I wish that I could immediately bring Yingxue into the mansion, look after her, take care of her, touch my grandson, watch our grandson be born and grow up, study, test the top scholar, marry us a perfect granddaughter-in-law, and give birth to a lovely great-grandson … "So what if he is? There are three ways to do it if he isn't filial. He is filial to us, and wants to give us a grandson."

Old woman Gongsun didn't hear his reply for a long time. She turned her head and said, "This damned old man, even when he's asleep he doesn't say a word."

Those who were older were less sleepy than the younger ones. Gongsun family's mother-in-law was one of the best. She went to bed early at night and woke up before the crowing of a rooster. When she woke up, she would see Murong Yao. Murong Yao was bound to serve breakfast. She would not be able to eat if she wasn't picky about what Murong Yao had to say.

Although Murong Yao thought a lot yesterday, she still slept earlier than usual, because there was no young and lustful husband sleeping by her side. Murong Yao opened her eyes as the biological clock, which she had cultivated for several years, rang on time. Murong Yao thought it was because she was pregnant. Although her mind was clear, her body felt weak. However, if a nun were to recite the 'One Day Classic' in one day, she definitely wouldn't be able to hide from it.

"Chun'er, light the lamp."

Chun'er, as the head maid beside Murong Yao, woke up early because of her master, so she wanted to wake up earlier. Hearing Murong Yao's voice, Chun'er, who was waiting outside, pushed open the door with a pot of warm water in her hands. Chun'er put the basin on the washstand and soaked it with a handkerchief. She pulled it and handed it to Murong Yao, who was sitting on the bed.

Then he took out a fire piston and lit an oil lamp in the corner of the room. As he fiddled with the oil lamp, he said, "Miss, why have you woken up so early today? This is not good for young mistress. You need to rest now. "

After Murong Yao put the handkerchief on her face to warm it up, she wiped her face and smiled, "Chun'er, didn't you know why you woke up so early? "I have to go on time for the sake of my child. Otherwise, if my mother-in-law gets angry and beats me up, my child will be in even more danger."

"So, little miss, you should tell the young master and the old lady the truth, that you are already pregnant, and that this fetus is still a bit unsteady. Let them go in a hurry."

"They? Zhou Yingxue might be worried for a while, but it would be hard to say when she had a baby. As for your Miss, I was thinking a lot last night, and I've been staying in this house for five years, even if I have to stay here for another fifty years. But even after making my child endure for five hours, I still feel pain in my heart. "

Chun'er's eyes widened as she quickly walked in front of Murong Yao. "Miss, what do you mean?"

Murong Yao had a faint smile on her face. "Yes, just like you thought." First of all, it was because she couldn't bear to have children. Second, through Zhou Yingxue's incident, she could tell that her mother-in-law was a snob, Lord Zhou's position was far above her father's, and she couldn't even rely on a family like this. From her mother-in-law's point of view, there was no difference between her and an orphan. Even if her child was born, as luck would have it, she was still a son. Thinking about it, her family background couldn't be easily changed.

Then he casually said, "Now, your young lady is going to see Grandma Hu. Help me fry up a dose of birth control medicine and drink it when I come back. Oh right, remember to fry an extra set of tonic medicine. That medicine is still considered mild. As for the dregs, we'll just deal with them as they were before. "

"Miss, let me accompany you. You are different from the past. "You can just let Xia'er or Dong'er fry that medicine."

"No, Xia'er and Dong'er aren't as resourceful as you, so you can't hide the truth." There are some things that should not be revealed to them, so they should not worry too much. "

"Miss, do you dislike Chun'er? "Miss does care about Xia Er and Dong'er, do you really have the heart to make Chun'er worry?"

"Come on, I'll marry you if you say any more witty words." After a pause, he seemed to ponder, "Actually, you guys are already old enough. I should also help you guys find a good home, just like Autumn."

"Miss, how could Chun'er leave your side at this time?" Anyway, I'm still young, so I can afford it. " Chun'er was a bit embarrassed at first, but then she quickly changed her expression and said seriously.

Murong Yao nodded as she made her plans. Before she left the Gongsun Mansion, she would have to send all of these maids away. She was her personal maid after all. Having accompanied her for all these years, she was worthy of having a good home. If she had done that, they would have foolishly believed her, and it would have been terrible if she had died.

After putting on her clothes, Chun'er combed her hair into a bun. Murong Yao stood up and was about to leave. Chun'er always felt that something was missing, so she hurriedly said, "Miss, you haven't done with your makeup yet!"

"Your young miss is sick, and her complexion is too good. Didn't I get targeted by my mother-in-law again?" Murong Yao had always been worried that her mother-in-law would despise her health and think that she couldn't have children or anything like that. When the face is not good, always rely on makeup to remedy the situation. Now, there was no need for him to lie to himself.
