Jiang Fuhai's voice came from outside the house.
"Miss Duan, please stop. My master and Fujin are having dinner. If you want anything, please wait for a moment and come back after the two masters have finished their meal. Please go back to the house and have a good rest."
Duan's voice came.
"Eunuch Jiang, please get out of the way. I am pregnant with my master's child. If you accidentally touch me and make any mistakes, you will not be able to bear the blame."
Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen's face and walked out of the house in three steps and two steps at a time.
"Why are you making such a noise? These two masters are having a meal. If you have anything to do, you can't wait until the masters have finished their meal."
When Duan saw that it was Su Peisheng, he said politely.
"Please ask Eunuch Su to be accommodating. Just say that I heard that my master is here and I want to pay my respects to him."
Su Peisheng did not report it immediately. He looked at Duan and replied.
"Miss Duan, my servant just said that the two masters are having dinner. If you want to say hello, you have to rest for a while before coming back."
With that said, Su Peisheng winked at Qiang Wu behind Duan.
Qiang Wu spoke cautiously.
"Girl, why don't you go back to the house first. I'll wait here. I'll let you know when the master has finished his meal."
Duan turned around and slapped Qiang Wu.
"You are so cruel. Are you thinking that I am pregnant and want to show my face in front of the master? You don't even want to see if you are worthy of it!"
Qiang Wu's face turned red instantly, and she shouted: "Girl, I am loyal to you!"
After all, the noise outside the house couldn't let Yinzhen eat in peace, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks with a cold face.
"Su Peisheng, let Mrs. Duan come in."
Su Peisheng had no choice but to make way for Duan.
Mrs. Duan lifted her skirt, crossed the threshold, and entered Fujin's house with a happy face.
"I have met my master, and I have met my master Fujin. I would like to pay my respects to my two masters, and wish them good health and good health."
Yinzhen looked at Mr. Duan coldly and did not scream. He turned to Mr. Ulanara.
"How does Fujin deal with these slaves' unreasonable behavior on a daily basis?"
Ulanara knew that Duan was stupid, but he didn't expect that she could be so arrogant.
Uranala felt tired, she stood up and replied.
"Please forgive me, Master. Sister Duan must have not seen Master for a long time, so she came here specifically to say hello."
"You haven't seen me for a long time? I remember that I only met you a few days ago."
After saying that, he looked at Duan again. Duan could no longer stand while maintaining the greeting posture.
Yinzhen looked at Duan's originally pretty face, but due to his unrestrained eating in the past two months, his face had become quite round. Looking at Duan's figure, it was clear that he was still less than three months old, but he was already fat. They are all tight on the body, somewhat stupid.
The disgust in his heart overflowed little by little, and coupled with Duan's fuss today and the red left cheek of the maid behind her, Yinzhen couldn't bear it.
"Mr. Duan is coquettish because of her pregnancy. She is rude to her superiors and cruel and arrogant to her subordinates. She will be banned for three months and must stay in your house. She is not even allowed to leave Xingfuyuan. Go and take good care of her baby!"
After saying that, he still ignored Duan and walked away.
"I respectfully send you off to my master."
Ulanara sent Yinzhen away, looked at Duan again, and sighed.
"Okay, the master is gone. You should also get up and go back to your room and stay there. Don't run around. The cost of raising a baby will remain the same as before."
Duan was already weak and softened, Qiang Wu hurriedly supported her.
"How could Master, how could he be so cruel? I am pregnant with a child for him."
Ulanara looked at the tears on her face and was very bored.
"Ms. Duan, don't lose your sense in what you say. My master is kind enough. He is only punished and detained for three months, which is enough for you to take good care of your baby. If my master is really cruel, you won't be here. Go down, don't be here." You cry and cry here and make the servants laugh."
It was the second day that Nian Shilan heard about Xingfuyuan.
It was better to go to Xingfuyuan to pay her respects. Ulanala hadn't come out yet, so she overheard her servants gossiping. Songzhi looked at her and quietly stepped away to inquire.
After returning to Cheng'en Garden, Nian Shilan had breakfast and listened to Songzhi's gossip, and then she realized what was going on.
She said nonchalantly.
"Duan Shi committed suicide on her own, and no one could save her. Originally, I thought she was pregnant with a child, and the child was innocent, so I wanted to protect her. In this case, I had no choice but to mourn for her in advance."
Today, only Songzhi and Xiao Linzi are waiting in the house.
Songzhi said in confusion.
"Master, why are you protecting her? I have to say something unpleasant, slave. Without her, wouldn't there be fewer women in this courtyard?"
Nian Shilan put down his chopsticks, looked at Songzhi and smiled.
"How old are you? Your thoughts are vicious. I'm not protecting her, I'm protecting the child in her belly. The young child is innocent, but now she's not up to it, and no one can do anything about it. Let's see what happens to her."
Xiao Linzi interjected.
"Master is kind-hearted, but Sister Songzhi also has plans for him. This servant is also confused. Neither Fujin nor the master are pregnant yet, but she has taken the lead."
Nian Shilan laughed unconsciously.
"So eager to defend your sister Songzhi? Why do you think pregnancy is a good thing? Look at Duan's family. It has only been two months since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, and her face has already changed. I don't want to be like that."
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks again and started eating slowly.
Xiao Linzi and Songzhi stopped talking.
Nian Shilan knew that Ulanara had promised on his face that he would do his best to take good care of Duan's fetus, but in her opinion, the child might not be so easy to give birth to.
Didn't Shugge already take action on the purse she saw that day?
That Shugege didn't seem to say much, but he was cruel and ruthless.
In the previous life, there was no such person in the palace.
At noon, Shugege was in Liufang Pavilion again, emptying her bottles and jars.
Her maid Zi Jing was drying some lily petals in the courtyard, while Hu Gege leaned against the door and looked into the courtyard.
"What is your master doing? The yard is full of dried flower petals."
Bauhinia replied as she spread the petals.
"Reporting to Princess, our Princess is going to make some rouge and gouache. Princess said that the rouge you buy is not as reliable as the rouge you make yourself."
Hugege sneered.
"I think you, Princess, are too busy. Even though everyone in the house has their share of rouge and gouache, she has to work hard on what she can do to rouge herself. If she doesn't have time, she might as well practice more dancing. Let's follow Fujin together. Man, I didn’t know that my sisters could dance. Did I know that dance was specially learned to seduce men?”
Zijing looked up at Hu Gege.
"Gege, be careful. We, Gege, can also do rouge and gouache, and we also need to practice dancing. We can't stay here in Liufang Pavilion for the rest of our lives."
After saying that, he ignored Hu Gege's anger and turned around and entered the house.
Shugege heard the movement in the courtyard from inside the house, and watched Zijin coming in, she said softly.
"You too, why are you talking so much to a vulgar woman like her? Remember from now on, never tell anything about something that has not been done. Besides, you are too talkative. You can't live in Liufang Pavilion. , it’s not up to us to have the final say. It would be good if we can win the master’s favor in the future and go further. If not, wouldn’t today’s words be a slap in the face?”
Bauhinia was indignant.
"Gege is too careful. Are we still afraid of her? She always talks with a gun and a stick. She is obviously far worse than you. Although there are people in her family who are serving in the army, the slave asked about it, but it is just a soldier. It's just Lu Zi. It's nothing compared to your father being a scholar. It's because you have a good temper that you are always bullied by her words."
Shugege held a small bottle and raised it to look at the light from the window.
"Since you know she is rude, you don't have to argue with her. No matter how loud she speaks, what's the point? From now on, you have to kneel at my feet."
Zijing was overjoyed after hearing this, and she moved closer to Shu Gege.
"Did the eldest sister read the books left behind by my grandfather in detail?"
Shugege turned around and looked at Zijing.
"You just can't hold your breath. How many times have I said that in this palace, even if it's just you and me, you should call me "Gege" to prevent the walls from hearing. Don't worry, I There is no idle time. I will make those who bullied us pay the price for my father’s injustice and my mother’s illness.”
Zijing stuck out her tongue and saluted Shugege.
"Yes! I will listen to Princess's command! Then, Princess, do you need me to sew another set of the obscene clothes you made before?"
Shugege remained calm.
"Let's sew another set. This time, use good yarn. Just go and get the money from my makeup box and buy good fabric."
Bauhinia took the order and left.
Shugege looked at the sunlight coming in from the window covered with plain paper, and she thought that she must be favored by her master.
