Shen Rongyue almost got angry when she heard this.

When will it be the turn of Yinxin, a lowly servant, to reward herself with something?

In the past, when she ate bird's nest, Yin Xin could only watch from the side...

The maid followed Yinxin's instructions and quickly brought the bird's nest into the house.

Shen Rongyue said that she was not feeling well and could not eat, so she asked the maid to take it back.

"Concubine Shen is unwell? That's unfortunate. The palace doctor is personally preparing a pregnancy-preserving medicine for me, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time to treat her..."

Yin Xin's voice came from outside the room again, and Shen Rongyue clenched his fists tightly.

Yin Xin looks like a villain who has succeeded, but right now there is nothing he can do except to be patient.

Shen Rongyue suppressed the anger in her heart, calmed herself down, and waited for news from Cheng Po.

Chu Xinglan already knows that Yin Xin is pregnant. Given her ruthlessness and domineering nature, I believe she will take action soon.

Sure enough, not long after, Mrs. Cheng came back.

Mother Cheng asked Xiao Cui to wait outside, and she went into the room and whispered to Shen Rongyue:

"Miss, Chu Xinglan sent the maid Xier to Huichun Hall—"

Shen Rongyue was puzzled: "What are you going to Huichun Hall for?"

"Xier went to Huichuntang, found an apprentice there, and stuffed some silver notes into the apprentice's pocket!" Mrs. Cheng said again.

Shen Rongyue was even more confused: "What do you mean?"

"That apprentice is in charge of dispensing medicine... I guess there must be something fishy going on..."

Mrs. Cheng lowered her voice even more. If the two of them were not close to each other, Shen Rongyue would hardly be able to hear it.

Shen Rongyue was shocked when he heard this.

"You mean, you mean, they want to do something here?"

Huichuntang is the largest medicine shop in the capital.

The branch shop that Cheng Pozi mentioned was the closest to the palace, and Yin Xin indeed bought her daily pregnancy-maintaining medicine from this shop.

Mrs. Cheng nodded and said, "In my opinion, it's almost certain."

Shen Rongyue immediately became happy.

"Great!"

It seems that this humiliation will soon be relieved.

"Go and keep an eye on what's going on at Huichun Hall. If she makes a move, report back to me immediately!"

Mrs. Cheng nodded repeatedly and then left in a hurry.

Shen Rongyue swept away her previous dejection and anger, walked out of the house in a happy mood, and took the initiative to greet Yin Xin.

Yin Xin was still lying on the chaise longue, basking in the sun with her eyes closed.

"My sister is in a fragile state now, and this chaise longue is a bit hard. I'm afraid it won't be comfortable if you lie on it for a long time. Why don't you get the cushion from my room and spread it on top of her—"

Shen Rongyue smiled and turned to tell Xiao Cui: "Go get it."

Yin Xin opened her eyes and looked at Shen Rongyue in disbelief.

"No matter what happened between you and me before, we are sisters now. The baby in your belly is the prince's flesh and blood, the bloodline of Prince Kang's Mansion. I should think about you." Shen Rongyue's smile did not diminish.

"Then thank you for your kindness, sister." Yin Xin said.

There was also a smile on her face, the smile of a winner.

The young lady who was once high and mighty now has to submit in front of her.

She never dreamed that this day would come...

Prime Minister's House.

Xier came up and whispered to Chu Xinglan, and a servant followed her.

"What's the matter?" Chu Xinglan frowned.

The servant bowed and said, "Miss, when I walked in with Xi'er, I noticed there was someone following behind her."

Chu Xinglan was shocked.

Xier's face also turned pale.

This young man is the security guard of the mansion. He is usually very alert. What he said cannot be wrong. Xier must have been targeted by someone.

Chu Xinglan looked at Xier with a cold look in his eyes. Xier immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. I was so stupid that I didn't realize..."

Chu Xinglan ignored her and turned to ask the servant: "Do you know who it is?"

The servant shook his head: "I don't know, but judging from her figure, she looks like an old woman. She is wearing thick clothes and a hood, so I can't see her face clearly. She has been following Xi'er to the gate of the mansion, and is still wandering back and forth on the street outside the gate. I came to ask the young lady if we should arrest her and interrogate her."

"Old woman?" Chu Xinglan and Xier looked at each other.

"Miss, could it be the old woman I met in Huichun Hall?" Xier wondered.

I heard from the servant that the old woman looks exactly like her.

"Get up and take a look quietly." Chu Xinglan ordered.

Xier got up in a hurry, followed the servant to the front yard, hid behind the door and watched.

After a while, she hurried back to Chu Xinglan and replied.

"Miss, it is definitely that old woman. Although I can't see her face clearly, she has changed her clothes and even her hood, but there is no mistake about the pair of shoes on her feet. The toe of her left shoe has been patched, which is very unsightly. I will not make a mistake!" Xier was very sure.

Chu Xinglan pondered for a moment and soon understood.

"It seems that someone deliberately leaked the news of the slave girl's pregnancy to us, waiting for us to take action so that they can profit from it——"

Xi'er's face turned pale with fear: "Miss, then, I'm afraid that what I did before has been seen by others - should we terminate the plan?"

Chu Xinglan shook her head: "No need. It's not that easy to use me as a gun! Don't even think about finding any evidence against me! Listen to my instructions, and the plan will continue as usual--"

Chu Xinglan asked Xi'er to come closer and explain everything to her in detail. Xi'er soon left the room again...

In the alley outside Huichuntang Pharmacy.

Mrs. Cheng widened her eyes and stared at the movement in the pharmacy opposite.

The eldest lady gave her another ten taels of silver and asked her to hire someone for help, but how could the person she hired be as observant as she was?

The most important thing is, if she comes in person, won’t the ten taels of silver be saved?

Seeing that the apprentice followed Xier quietly out of the side door of the pharmacy and went to the alley behind, Mrs. Cheng hurriedly crossed the road and wanted to follow and take a look.

But just as she was passing the front door of the drugstore, a big man ran out and knocked her to the ground, with the hood on her head falling off.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I was so anxious to get medicine for my mother that I didn't notice you!"

The big man apologized to Cheng Pozi in a rough voice, which immediately attracted people passing by to stop and watch.

Mrs. Cheng was startled and didn't care about the pain in her butt from the fall. She hurriedly pulled the hood over her head.

"Auntie, are you okay?" the big man asked.

"it's okay no problem......"

Seeing that many people were still staring at her, Mrs. Cheng waved her hand, turned hurriedly and left the gate of Huichun Hall, entering another alley next to it.

At this point, it is obviously inappropriate to continue as before.

If Xier is frightened, she will stop and that will be bad...

However, after going around in a circle, Mrs. Cheng quickly and quietly turned back to the alley opposite Huichun Hall.

Just then, I saw Xier and the apprentice walking out of the alley. The apprentice's hand couldn't help but touch the purse hanging on his waist...
