She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

As soon as Mother Zhang left, Li Jingwan's eyes turned cold. She stared at the medicine bag on the table. The heart-wrenching pain from her previous life seemed to reappear.

"Miss, are you still going to see Aunt Zhou?" asked Bi Tao.

"Go." Li Jingwan nodded.

Aunt Zhou's maid just came to report that she was not feeling well and wanted to ask Li Jingwan to go and see her.

The courtyards of the four concubines were adjacent to each other, and Li Jingwan went to Concubine Zhou's courtyard first.

Aunt Zhou sat on the bed, her face a little pale.

Li Jingwan told her not to get up and asked about her physical condition.

"I just felt a little dizzy and nauseous just now." Aunt Zhou replied, "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Madam."

"That's good." Li Jingwan nodded with relief. "I heard that the first pregnancy is the most difficult. Aunt Liang has given birth before, you can talk to her more."

"Yes." Aunt Zhou nodded, but didn't take it to heart.

Aunt Liang likes to show off that she gave birth to a son, and emphasizes that he is the eldest son. That's why she doesn't want to associate with such people.

On the contrary, Aunt Tang, who had just entered the mansion, would visit her from time to time and talk to her to relieve her boredom.

As they were talking, Aunt Zhou's maid came in with an incense burner and placed it on the low table beside them.

"What a nice smell." Li Jingwan smelled it immediately, "Auntie Zhou, do you like incense?"

"I didn't need it before, but I've been feeling nauseous these past few days. Aunt Tang said there's a kind of fragrance that pregnant women can smell to stop the nausea. So I asked the maid to go to the fragrance shop and buy it, and it really worked."

Hearing that it was Tang Qiaoyin's recommendation, Li Jingwan looked at the incense burner with a gloomy look.

Xiang'er reported last night that Tang Qiaoyin had only been talking to Aunt Zhou these past few days, intending to win her over.

In the previous life, one month after Tang Qiaoyin entered the mansion, Aunt Zhou had a miscarriage.

According to the time calculation, she has to make plans now.

Could it be related to incense?

Li Jingwan's mind turned for a few times, and she lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them.

After coming out of Aunt Zhou's courtyard, she went to Aunt Tong's courtyard.

Aunt Tong was sitting in the corridor in a daze. When she saw Li Jingwan, she quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Madam."

"What are you thinking about?" Li Jingwan asked with a smile, sitting on the stone bench, "You sit down too."

Aunt Tong immediately asked the maid Lian'er to serve tea.

Soon, Lian'er came over cautiously with a tray, looking timid.

She put the tray down and as she bent over to serve the tea, her sleeves pulled back, revealing two red marks on her arms, like whip marks.

Aunt Tong also saw it and immediately took the teacup from Lian'er's hand, "Go away, you are so clumsy."

Lian'er's hand trembled, and she bowed to Li Jingwan and left.

"Young Madam, please have some tea." Aunt Tong placed the teacup in front of her.

Li Jingwan glanced at Lian'er thoughtfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I just went to see Aunt Zhou, she looked a little unwell. If you have nothing to do, you can talk to her for a while. She has a cold personality and doesn't like to talk to people actively, so you should be more proactive."

"Yes." Aunt Tong agreed, but she was reluctant in her heart.

Seeing that Aunt Zhou was pregnant, he just felt depressed.

She clearly became a concubine before Concubine Zhou, so why hasn’t she gotten pregnant yet?

She has no children and she is also a concubine. What should she do in the future?

"Mrs. Liang has a son now, and Mrs. Zhou will give birth in a few months. Only you and I are still pregnant." Li Jingwan put down the teacup. "The old lady is also worried. She just asked Madam Zhang to send me a tonic, saying that it was prescribed by a gynecologist."

"I've also asked for one for you. Mother Zhang will deliver it when the time comes. Remember to take it on time."

Aunt Tong was very grateful, "Thank you, Madam."

"As women, we know best the importance of offspring." Li Jingwan sighed, "The backyard is lonely, and having a son or a daughter is also a support."

"You should get well soon and get pregnant soon." Li Jingwan frowned slightly, "Mrs. Tang, who just came into the mansion, is the most favored one now. Your courtyard is the closest to hers, so you should think of a way to keep the Marquis. If you still can't get pregnant, it will be difficult to bring in new people in the future."

These words touched on Aunt Tong's sore spot, and there was a hint of grievance and complaint in her words.

"Madam, after Concubine Tang entered the mansion, the Marquis went to her courtyard every day. Even if he passed by my courtyard, he was unwilling to come in and take a look. How can I keep him here?"

"I'll go talk to the Marquis." Li Jingwan patted the back of her hand comfortingly. "The most urgent thing is for you to take care of your body. Have the maid boil the tonic that the old lady sent and take it on time."

Aunt Tong nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After coming out, Li Jingwan asked Bitao to inform Xiang'er to find a chance to come and see her.

Not long after returning to Youlanju, Xiang'er came.

"Mrs. Tong's maid Lian'er also worked in the old lady's courtyard before. Do you know her?"

"I know her." Xiang'er nodded. "Lian'er is a bought maid, mainly responsible for cleaning."

"I just went to Aunt Tong's yard and saw traces of injuries on her hands. Do you know the reason?"

Xiang Er blurted out, "It was Aunt Tong who beat me."

This confirmed Li Jingwan's guess, "How did you know?"

"Replying to Madam, is this actually a secret?"

"When Tong was a maid in the old lady's courtyard, Lian'er offended her. Tong held a grudge, and after she became a concubine, she specifically wanted Lian'er to be her maid, and beat and scolded her at will. I heard Lian'er crying this morning."

After Xiang'er left, Li Jingwan called Cuiyu and Bitao.

"Cui Yu, go find some ointment and give it to Lian'er in private. At the same time, spend more time with Lian'er and build a good relationship with her, but don't let anyone else know."

"Yes."

She pointed at the tonic that Zhang Mama had sent on the table and said, "Try to replace the tonic that Zhang Mama gave to Aunt Tong with these."

"Miss, why?" Cui Yu was puzzled.

Bi Tao also looked at her puzzledly.

"There's something wrong with these medicines." Li Jingwan smiled gently, "Because they're not tonics, drinking them will only make people infertile."

Cuiyu and Bitao were shocked.

"Miss, you...how do you know?"

To carry out the next plan, she had to let them know part of the truth, "I overheard it."

"The Marquis' Mansion was worried that they could not control me, so they did not want me to give birth to a legitimate son from the beginning. They just wanted Qin Guangyao to be adopted by me, become the crown prince, and obtain the title."

With tears in her eyes, Bi Tao gritted her teeth and said, "How despicable! Miss, tell the lady to let her..."

"I can't tell you." Li Jingwan shook her head. "Mom is not in good health, so don't worry about her. Don't worry, I will handle it and won't be bullied by anyone again."

She took their hands and said, "It's enough to have you helping me."

The two nodded, tears dripping onto the three of them clasped hands.
