Green willow has been having a tough time lately. After listening to her mother's words, she no longer worries about what has already happened and focuses on taking good care of her body.

  She thought the young master would take pity on her because of her poor health and visit her often.

  These days, apart from Qi An coming over once to deliver some nourishing food, Da Gongzi hasn't set foot in her courtyard.

  Even if she had torn her handkerchief into shreds, no matter how many thoughts were in her mind, she couldn't see anyone or do anything.

  According to reliable sources, the young master has been returning very early these past few days. Apart from visiting his parents in the main hall, he has mostly gone straight to see his wife.

  This makes her feel dangerous.

  Just thinking about whether to go to the crossroads to welcome the young master at the right time, there were sounds of laughter and conversation outside the door. Green willow's heart skipped a beat, and she sat up straighter.

  Zhī ruò quickly grabbed a pillow and propped it behind her waist.

  The curtain was drawn open, and Madame Wu walked in first.

  Wu shook her handkerchief at the tip of her nose and complained, "The whole house smells like bitter medicine, why don't you lift the curtains to change the air?"

  "Please forgive us, two aunts," said Zhi Rao hurriedly, "our master's body is weak and cannot withstand the wind."

  Duan's family came in later, covering her mouth and smiling lightly "It's also true, can't have children anymore, this body is not getting any better."

  The originally calm interior suddenly became quiet enough to hear a pin drop, and Green Willow's eyes were so cold that they could have frozen frost.

  How did they know?

  Knowing it was inappropriate, he hastily signaled for others to withdraw.

  Duan's family, however, seemed to have not noticed anything unusual in the house, and instructed a young servant girl to move two stools to the bedside, pulling Wu Shi down to sit down.

  With eyes that seemed to devour her like a hungry beast.

  "Green sister, are you angry? It's really strange, if you want to blame or scold, shouldn't it be yourself? It's not like someone else made you infertile, Wu sister, don't you think that's the reason?"

  Wu looked at Green Willow with a faint smile, nodding "Sister Duan is right, Green Sister, the price you paid is a bit too high, not to mention that Big Brother doesn't seem to have come here more than once, no matter how I calculate it, I think you've lost out."

  The green willow no longer had its former air, and if it could, she really wanted to burn the two people with a fire.

  Remind yourself in your heart to be patient, and then be patient again.

  The smile on his face couldn't be put out no matter what. "Are you two sisters here just to make things difficult for me?"

  "Feng shui is cyclical, this year it's our turn, Green Sister. You used to look down on us and felt proud in front of us, didn't think there'd be a day like today?"

  "You also talk about the cycle of fortune, how can you be sure that next year won't be my turn? It's better to keep some decency in your words."

  "It's also, thank you sister for reminding me, I should save some virtue for my future children, Green Sister has this kind of thinking but it's useless, after all, can't accumulate blessings for someone else's unborn child."

  Lu Ying only felt a surge in her chest, her throat sweet, and she swallowed two mouthfuls of water, enduring the dizziness, and coldly laughed out loud "That's not necessarily true, this world is full of unexpected things, you're so sure I won't get pregnant? You're so sure you will get pregnant? Even if you do get pregnant, it depends on whether you have the ability to keep it! Didn't even the capable Third Madam miscarry, are you two sisters saying that's not true?"

  Duan and Wu exchanged a glance.

  The green willows are like this, and they still have a sense of being suppressed.

  If this time still can't trample her down, once she recovers, she definitely won't let them off easy.

  Trample, trample hard.

  "Wu's eyebrows rose as she looked at Zhi Ruo, 'How come my sister and I came all the way here and can't even get a cup of hot tea? Is this how you were taught by your elder sister, so unruly and unregulated?'"

  "My people don't need your instruction, and my home isn't a place for you to show off. Please leave, both of you sisters."

  "Sister Green, don't be in such a hurry to send me away. It's been a long time since we've sat down and chatted like this." Duan Shi looked at the pale face of Green Liu and clicked her tongue "Such a delicate and beautiful face, how did it become so haggard as soon as Madam entered the door? Where did that tender and lovely look from before go?"

  "Wu smiled and continued, 'Without a man's nourishment, it naturally withers.' She stroked her own firm and smooth skin, 'Compared to Green Sister, my complexion is really not bad today.'"

  "That's right, Green Sister is already twenty-two, how many years of youth can she still have? Little sister advises you to hurry up and take care of your body, every day of pampering is a blessing, even if the young master is romantic, he might not be able to accommodate another concubine who looks older than him by his side. Ah, Wu Sister, you reminded me, I also need to go back and put some makeup on my face, otherwise, how can I dare to get close to the young master?"

  Duan's family didn't even look at the green willow's eyes which were about to spout fire.

  She stood up and took a look around at the interior of the house that was no longer bright and beautiful, and sneered in her heart.

  Relying on having followed the young master for a few more years, she always thought she was one step ahead of them, but in the end, she ended up with such an outcome, it serves her right.

  Wu gently got up, imitating the usual manner of Qing Liu: "Let's get going together, let's go, Green Sister. Little sister is taking her leave."

  Watching with wide eyes as the two of them flaunted their prowess in front of her and then swaggered away, Green Willow's fingernails dug deep into her palm.

  These two people... these two people...

  If she has to spend the rest of her life in hell, neither of these two can escape.

  Don't even think about running, little lady.

  It's all her, if she hadn't married into this family, she would still be the most spoiled one.

  If it weren't for her, why would the young master be so cold to her?

  Suddenly he lifted his head and looked at Zhi Ruo.

  Zhī ruò bèi tā de yǎn shén xià yī tiào, hǎo bù róngyì cái méi ràng zìjǐ wǎng hòu tuì, nán dào zhǔ zǐ zhīdào nà xiāoxī shì tā xiè chūqù de?

  Translation:

  Zhī was startled by her gaze and almost took a step back, did the master know that she had leaked the news?

  "Zhi Ruo, is your heart filled with a big gentleman?"

  Zhi's face changed greatly, and his body suddenly shrunk by half. "Master, slave... slave..."

  "You see, the young master's eyes are the same as mine, I understand." She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, not even looking at Zhi Ruo who was kneeling on the ground. She walked past her and said, "Originally, I planned to give you a personal house after a while, so that we wouldn't become enemies and ruin our master-servant relationship. But now, I've changed my mind."

  Green willow turned around, staring at the person on the ground "Zhi Ruo, I changed my mind, aren't you fond of Da Gongzi? Then like it, your color is good, with me planning and strategizing, I don't believe a child won't be born, when the time comes, I want to see who will be proud, them or me."

  She was overjoyed beyond her expectations, she didn't think the master would let go so easily. As long as the master doesn't get in the way, she will definitely get what she wants.

  However, after giving birth to the child, the child has to be raised by me.

  A faint smile was frozen at the corner of her mouth, as if her lips had moved slightly. The opportunity was right in front of her. If she agreed, her status would be elevated from then on. But if she didn't agree... Her master knew what she was thinking and would never let her off.

  She actually had no choice at all.

  Zhi took a deep breath and touched her forehead to the ground "Yes, I promise."

  The madness in Green Willow's eyes finally dissipated a bit, and she personally helped the person up, laughing as if bathed in spring breeze. "This is right, don't worry, the child was born to you, no one can take it away from you, from now on, you'll live with me, and the child will be raised just like that."

  "Yes, your humble servant thanks you for your kindness."

  Green willow walked to the front door and lifted the curtain, suddenly remembering the screen in the flower hall of the young lady's courtyard, a delicate embroidery, from Yangzhou, worth thousands of dollars.

  If she also had...

  "Replace this curtain with a bamboo one and change the air in the house."

  "But your body can't withstand the wind, now it's a bit too early..."

  "Change."

  Looking at Green Willow's determination, Zhi Ruo knew that she wouldn't dare provoke her, so he could only agree.

  "I have seen the young master."

  The voices of "please take care" in the courtyard fell into the ears of the two people inside, they looked at each other, and Green Willow quickly lay back down on the bed.

  She smoothed out her quilt and walked to the door, lifting up the curtain.

  "It's as if you've seen a great nobleman."

  Qī Yòu took big strides in, as if he hadn't seen the person blushing and looking shy at the door.

  The two chairs beside the bed hadn't been moved back yet, and Qi You casually picked one to sit down.

  "Da Gong Zi..."

  Green willow struggled to get out of bed to see the ceremony, Qi You raised his chin "Stay in bed."

  "I'm so sorry." She rubbed her eyes, which only made them redden more.

  "How's your body? Is it getting better?"

  "Thank you for your concern, Master. I've recovered a lot and should be able to get out of bed in a few days."

  "If there's anything else that doesn't feel right, I'll report it to Young Mistress and ask the doctor to come in and take another look."

  "The young mistress is so kind, every other day she lets Dr. Sun come to take my pulse, I'm so grateful that I don't know what to do." Tears fell one by one, and Green Willow quickly wiped them away, saying "I'm just too touched by the young mistress's kindness."

  Qī yòu yàn rǎo de chuí xià yǎn, huí fǔ hòu yuán běn dǎ suàn zhí jiē qù rú chū nà, xiǎng qǐ lǜ liǔ yě bìng le yǒu yī zhèn le biàn lái kàn kan, háo bù yì wài de yòu kàn dào tā de yǎn lèi.

  Can't help but wonder, have I cried like this before?

  Even on her wedding night, she just reddened her eyes.

  Suddenly got up "Take good care of yourself."

  The young master had just arrived and was about to leave, it had been several days since they last saw each other. Lu Liu was unwilling, and hastily spoke up to persuade him to stay: "Young Master, I haven't dined with you for many days now, would you please stay today? Just looking at you makes me feel much more relaxed."

  Qī Yòu stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her, his eyes deep and piercing, making one's heart tighten.

  "Take good care of yourself."

  It's this sentence again. Looking at the fleeting back view, even the green willow and silver teeth want to be crushed. Is it going back to accompany the young lady again?

  It's definitely true that these days, the young master returns home every day to have meals with the second lady, and the entire Qi Manor is talking about it.

  Apart from being younger than her, what is Hua Ruochu better at? Isn't she just a Ten Miles Red Makeup?

  Timid and weak, with a good heart, but no backbone or dignity of a mistress. If it weren't for her birth, she wouldn't have become the young mistress of the Qi manor.

  The infatuation will soon wear off as time goes by.

  This marriage was by imperial decree. For a short time, the eldest son cannot take a concubine. When the time comes, the eldest son will definitely return to her here.

  As long as no new woman enters the manor, she has confidence that the eldest young master will look at her again.

  Even if she couldn't get pregnant, she still wanted to win back the favor as soon as possible. Who knows, maybe heaven would take pity on her and let her get pregnant?

  As for Zhi Ruo, Green Willow sneered coldly in her heart. She wanted a child, and the child's mother could only be her.
