He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

The face of the Marquis of Yangling was gloomy, and she became more and more displeased with Mu Ziqian's absurdity. It turned out that he took after his restless father!

Thinking of this, the Marquis of Yangling began to wonder if Mu Ziqian would keep someone outside without telling the Mu family like the Marquis of Yangling...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was very likely, and the Marquis of Yangling felt even more upset.

Lin Xuefu's face was pale, and her lips were tightly pursed. It was obvious that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Now it has been confirmed that the one in Qingzhu's belly is the eldest grandson of the Mu family. Even if the Marquis of Yangling still stands on her side, the Marquis of Yangling will not allow them to hurt the child.

Mu Ziqian frowned slightly. He wanted to say, "Wouldn't it be better to promote Qingzhu to a concubine?" But when the words came to his lips, he was afraid that Lin Xuefu would be sad, so he could only choose to keep silent.

Qingzhu didn't care about the indifference of Yangling Hou's wife and Lin Xuefu, but when she saw that Mu Ziqian was unwilling to say a word for her and the baby in her belly, she felt a chill in her heart.

It turned out that the vows and promises she made were just her wishful thinking.

Qingzhu knew very well that at this point, the only one who could give her and her mother a way out was Shen Qing.

Qingzhu no longer hesitated, stood up and walked to Shen Qing and knelt down, "Madam, Qingzhu has already had the child of the young master. Please agree that I can continue to serve the young master."

Shen Qing looked at Qingzhu's tearful eyes, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face. He leaned down close to Qingzhu's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It should be you who poisoned me last time, right?"

Hearing this, Qingzhu's face turned pale instantly.

Shen Qing, actually knew!

Qingzhu felt that the blood in her body was instantly cold. She never thought that the last hope was buried by her own hands.

Qingzhu closed her eyes in despair, obviously having anticipated her own fate.

Lose the mother, keep the son.

The Yangling Marquisate was reluctant to part with this hard-earned grandson, but no one would pity her as a lowly servant.

Just as Qingzhu was waiting for Shen Qing's final verdict, she heard Shen Qing say, "Mother, the Third Young Master and Qingzhu love each other. Now Qingzhu is pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Mu family. It is not too much to promote her to be the aunt. As for Madam Liu, since she is the aunt's biological mother, she should stay in the Marquisate and continue to take care of the aunt."

Qingzhu suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of shock.

Shen Qing obviously knew what happened before, why did he still speak for her?

Mu Ziqian did not sing against Shen Qing at this time. He pretended to think deeply, and then said with full approval, "Mother, I think Shen Qing has some truth in what he said."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xuefu nervously again. Seeing that Lin Xuefu's expression did not change significantly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The wife of Yangling Marquis remained silent. She knew that Shen Qing had done nothing wrong, but she was unwilling to let a lowly maid give birth to the eldest grandson of the Mu family before Lin Xuefu.

However, things had come to this point, and there was really no other way.

The wife of Yangling Marquis was too lazy to watch this absurdity, and only said "You can do it yourself", and turned away.

Lin Xuefu did not stop, pulled her fingers out of Mu Ziqian's hand, and followed the wife of Yangling Marquis away.

Mu Ziqian's eyes wandered between Qingzhu and Lin Xuefu's backs for a moment, and finally ordered the servant carrying the sedan chair to quickly catch up with Lin Xuefu.

As Mu Ziqian's figure became farther and farther away, the last bit of hope in Qingzhu's heart was extinguished.

Retracting her gaze, Qingzhu looked at Shen Qing with a puzzled look on her face, "Madam, why are you helping me?"

Shen Qing smiled and told the truth, "Helping you? Not really, I just simply think that keeping you will make Yangling Marquis's life more lively."

Qingzhu paused, and then realized that her methods were nothing in front of Shen Qing, and Shen Qing was too lazy to bother with her about the so-called poisoning.

After the excitement was over, Shen Qing naturally had no need to stay any longer. Before leaving, Shen Qing glanced at Qingzhu, "Next time, it will depend on Aunt Qingzhu herself."

Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, Shen Qing had already walked away.

Looking at Shen Qing's back, Qingzhu knelt down on the ground, silently saying in her heart: Madam, you are so kind, Qingzhu will always remember it in my heart.

……

Tinglan Courtyard.

The sun was getting hot, and Shen Qing didn't want to bask in the sun anymore, so she went straight back to the house.

Smelling the familiar scent, Tuanzi, who was originally sleeping on the soft couch, opened his eyes instantly, stood up and walked towards Shen Qing gracefully.

Shen Qing picked it up and stroked its soft fur, and Tuanzi closed his eyes comfortably again.

Shen Qing looked at Chan Yi, "When Lin sells the servants in the kitchen later, you go and buy our people and send them to the manor under my name.

As for those who don't know, give some money to the matchmaker and let her send them to decent families."

Shen Qing has never been a person who burns bridges after crossing the river. Even if those servants are useless after leaving Yangling Marquis' Mansion, Shen Qing doesn't mind finding a place for them to live. After all, the last thing she lacks is a manor shop.

Chan Yi agreed, "Miss, don't worry. I have sent someone to keep an eye on Madam."

Just as Shen Qing nodded, Haitang came in from outside, "Madam, the second young lady of the Marquis of Yining is here."

Shen Qing paused for a moment, then responded, "Bring her here."

Soon after, Shen Shuyu followed Haitang into Tinglan Courtyard.

Looking at the dumpling in Shen Qing's arms, Shen Suyu's eyes lit up, "Sister, this cat is so beautiful."

Perhaps hearing someone praising him, Tuanzi opened his eyes and glanced at Shen Suyu, then tilted his head and fell asleep again.

Shen Suyu was smiling, but Shen Qing could see a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Why did you come here by yourself?"

The last time Shen Suyu came over to send congratulatory gifts, Shen Qing said that she could bring Xie Ling and Shen Zhao with her when she came over in the future, so that she wouldn't be bored on the road alone.

"My mother and Zhao'er have entered the palace, and I don't want to go.

These days, my father went to bed later and later. I felt really depressed being alone in the house, so I came over to see my eldest sister. "

Ever since Shen Shuyu was bullied by Gu Tingshuang and Chu Qingyuan at the Queen's Flower Appreciation Banquet, Concubine Xie has called Xie Ling into the palace every few days, and every time she does it with great fanfare, obviously to express her gratitude. Ling supported her.

And the effect is also very obvious. It can be seen from the last ceremony between Jiang Li and Hairpin that the ladies of each family were much more polite to Xie Ling.

As for Shen Yi'an, Shen Qing also knows that this year's rainy season has come earlier than before, and the rainfall has been extremely heavy. The rainfall has not stopped at all.

The problem is especially severe in the Biaohe area.

The water level of the Pihe River has skyrocketed, and the dams will be submerged at some point. Although the local prefecture and county magistrate has organized some people to evacuate to surrounding cities, the survival problems of the increasing number of refugees have become increasingly severe.

In order to properly resolve this matter, there has been controversy in the court for several days.

Lu Yan mentioned this matter when he came to see Zhou Xian's case the night before. If nothing else happened, the candidate for disaster relief this time should be the fifth prince Chu Lingyuan.

Seeing Shen Suyu's thoughts drifting away from time to time, Shen Qing said bluntly: "Something on your mind?"

Shen Suyu was startled, and after a moment he hesitated and said: "Sister, there is something that has been bothering me recently, but I don't know whether I should tell you."
