The backyard of the General's Mansion.

Hong Luan's brows were furrowed, and there was wind at her feet. The servants in the yard didn't even pay attention to her greetings, but in fact she didn't hear them at all.

The reason that made her so nervous was the news that had just been sent from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

The Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is an in-law of the General Mansion, and the ancestral home of Shangguan Liuying. However, the two families have rarely visited each other in recent years. This time, the person who sent the news was Liu Mei's biological mother, Aunt Feng.

She was originally the maid of the old lady, but because of an accident, she gave birth to the old marquis's child, so she was raised as an aunt. She has always been very respectful to the old lady, and she never fails to watch her morning and dusk. Although the old marquis later favored her even more She was a little bit different, but she didn't get carried away because of it.

Because she knew very well that the old Marquis was not in good health and was destined to leave early. At that time, the old lady would have the final say on the Marquis's mansion, and she... an aunt, if she wanted to live in the Marquis's mansion for a long time, I can only please the old lady!

In order to gain the old lady's trust, she taught her two children from an early age to learn to disguise, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they must be obedient and obedient on the surface. At this point, Liu Mei has learned her essence!

When Hong Luan walked into the house, Liu Mei was taking a nap on the imperial concubine's couch, with a little maid kneeling on either side of her to beat her legs. She called Madam several times before Liu Mei woke up.

After waking up, she only glanced at Hong Luan and asked everyone else to go down. When they were alone in the room, Liu Mei spoke slowly, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Aunt Feng sent someone to send news that Mrs. Chen is happy."

Liu Mei stood up immediately after hearing this, her face full of disbelief, "What did you say?"

In order to make the Hou Mansion fall into the hands of her brother Liu Sheng, Aunt Feng has been planning for this for many years. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Mrs. Chen to be pregnant!

Shangguan Liuying, who was in the study at this time, also knew the news. Coincidentally, her and Liu Mei's expressions were exactly the same!

I saw her repeatedly confirming with Lu Yi, "You said my aunt is pregnant?"

Since she didn't see her aunt at the palace banquet yesterday, she asked Lu Yi to inquire about it after she came back. But she didn't expect that the news Lu Yi came back from after asking was that her aunt Chen was pregnant!

Lu Yi nodded again and again, "It's true, miss. I have inquired carefully. Mrs. Hou did not go to the palace yesterday because she was not feeling well. As a result, she called the doctor and found out that she was pregnant."

Shangguan Liuying frowned and paced back and forth in the room as if muttering to herself, "Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

At this time, she was frantically recalling the events of her previous life in her mind, but thanks to Liu Mei, she had not been very close to her maternal grandfather's family in her previous life, and was even somewhat repulsive, and now she could not recall any useful information at all.

But one thing she was sure of was that her uncle and aunt had no children in their previous life!

Because of this, my aunt has been criticized all her life, and the position of the prince of the Hou family has fallen to Yagyu's son.

She remembered that her aunt Chen was ill and unable to have children, but just now Luyi said...

One scene after another flashed through his mind, Shangguan Liuying always felt like he had forgotten something, but what exactly was it?

Lu Yi didn't know why. Seeing her young lady spinning like a top, she couldn't help but stepped forward and stopped her, "Miss, please stop spinning. Sit down and have a rest. Have a drink of water..."

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Shangguan Liuying suddenly stopped and looked directly at her, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Lu Yi had never seen such a crazy young lady before. She was almost frightened to tears. She hesitated and said, "I...I told you to sit down and have a rest."

"No, that's not what you said!" Shangguan Liuying interrupted her with a loud voice.

"Drink... drink some water?" Lu Yi flinched and spoke cautiously again.

A flash of inspiration immediately flashed in Shangguan Liuying's mind, and she shook Luyi's arm excitedly, "Yes, that's right, that's it, water... is a pond, a pond!"

Lu Yi was bewildered by her sudden appearance, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's too late to explain. Quick, let someone prepare the carriage. No, just prepare the horses and go to the Marquis Mansion!" Shangguan Liuying was so anxious that she took Lu Yi's hand and ran towards the outer courtyard. Lu Yi was pulled forward by her and staggered forward. I almost fell down after two steps.

But she couldn't care about it now, because she finally remembered why her aunt couldn't have children!

Her grandmother once told her that her aunt was not born like this. She was pregnant once in her early years, but she accidentally fell into a pond the day after she found out she was pregnant. Not only was the child gone, but she also suffered from the root cause of the disease. No more children!

My aunt learned that she was pregnant yesterday, which meant that today was the day she fell into the pond!

Seeing that most of today has passed, how could Shangguan Liuying not be anxious!

The entrance to the General's Mansion.

The servants had already brought Shangguan Liuying's horse over. She crossed the threshold and walked quickly down the steps. She took the reins with one hand and the whip with the other, and then turned directly onto the horse with clean and neat movements.

A trace of warmth flashed in her eyes while riding on horseback. The red rabbit was left to her by her father, and he once accompanied her in every corner of the Zhou Dynasty. That was the time when she was the most wanton and happy!

Time was urgent, so she pressed down the memories in her heart and gently stroked the horse's back and whispered, "Red Rabbit, long time no see, I'll see you soon."

As if he understood, Red Rabbit's long mane flew up, he roared to the sky, his horse hooves tumbled, and he galloped out like lightning, leaving only an afterimage behind!

After Shangguan Liuying left, Luyi quickly followed behind in a carriage. Such a big movement from the master and servant naturally alarmed Liu Mei. She was still immersed in the news of Chen's pregnancy, and her face immediately turned ugly when she heard this. .

"Damn it, why is she going back now? No, Hong Luan, prepare the carriage quickly..."

Liu Mei's heart was pounding. Shangguan Liuying rarely mentioned going to the Hou Mansion on weekdays. Why was he so anxious today?

Today's Weiyuan Hou Liu Feng and Shangguan Liuying's mother Liu Meng were both born to the old lady Wang. The two brothers and sisters had a very good relationship. When the news of Liu Meng's death in childbirth came back to the Hou Mansion, the old lady immediately fell seriously ill. From then on, he began to stay in bed all year round, and his body was always very weak.

And Liu Feng couldn't accept the fact that his sister died young. He blamed everything on Shangguan Liuying, thinking that if it hadn't been for giving birth to her, Liu Meng would not have died in childbirth.

Therefore, Liu Mei did not have to deliberately guide Shangguan Liuying away from the Hou Mansion in these years. She only needed to hint how much Shangguan Liuying and Liu Feng hated her, and then made her suffer from a "minor illness" for a few days every time she came back from the Hou Mansion. Over time, She would feel uncomfortable and aggrieved when she thought of the Hou Mansion, and the number of times she went there became less and less.

In this way, Liu Mei can live in the General's Mansion with more peace of mind, and she doesn't have to worry about anyone disturbing her and Shangguan Liuying's "mother-daughter relationship"!
