."The tasker thought to himself with a hint of smugness."Don't get too cocky, after a great victory there will inevitably be a major epidemic. There are still many things you need to consider, winning...At this time, inside the Shangshu Mansion, Lian'i, with a pregnant belly, was lying on a soft couch, eating fruit and communicating with DuoDuo through sound transmission. Xuenfeng lay beside her, occasionally being stroked by her.

"Master, '曇花一現' has taken effect."

"The Second Miss of the Hou Mansion has become ugly"

The ripples asked at random.

"It's already starting to get ugly."

"Have you improved the poison"

"Yes! She could never cultivate in her lifetime, so I only injected the poison of 'Hundred Days of Beauty' into her body, letting her gradually become ugly. Before, when her body suddenly weakened, it was because her body couldn't withstand the poison that harmed her appearance after entering her body."

Dodo immediately explained.

Even diluted a thousand times, the poison of the cultivation world is something that mortal flesh cannot withstand. So she only sent the part that would damage her appearance into the body of that second young miss.

Who discovered it

"Madam Hou."

How did they do it

I consulted an old Chinese medicine practitioner.

"Have you found anything"

Ringlets smiled and asked, she wasn't worried at all about being discovered.

"He's definitely not going to find anything. The pulse diagnosis shows a deficiency of blood and Qi, so he just needs to nurture his body well."

Dodo replied immediately.

He is at least a fourth-rank, doing this kind of thing shouldn't be easy for him.

"Alright, you don't need to keep an eye on the Marquis's household for now. Let them figure things out themselves."

Ripples said calmly.

"Master, your so-called husband has been staying in Gao's room lately. Aren't you worried"

Dodo, acting so cute and mischievous, asked.

"What am I worried about Didn't you already get to him this morning Who else could he possibly get pregnant"

"Hee hee, the master is still amazing. However, I severed Lin Yaizu's ability to get pregnant. But Gao shi found someone else!"

Dodo gloated with glee.

"Hey! It seems Lin Yaizu has been wearing a green hat."

"Isn't that right! The mistress was afraid of losing favor, so she used this method."

After you became pregnant, Madam Lin stopped the contraceptive herbs for her concubines. Gao's mistress also believed she would definitely become pregnant, so she served Lin Yaozu diligently.

Lin Yaozu himself enjoys being a stud. Before you became pregnant, Mrs. Lin couldn't stop the two concubines from taking pregnancy-prevention medicine. After all, there's no reason for a daughter born to a concubine to come before a legitimate son.

It's a pity that Gao Yiniang has been trying for so long but hasn't gotten pregnant. Now seeing you with twins, her reach doesn't extend to your courtyard, so she can only focus on her own belly.

Unfortunately, she reaped nothing. She took a gamble and borrowed seeds from others.

Dodo stood at the front line of watching the drama unfold.

"Who did you borrow this from"

The ripples asked.

"She's just a concubine in the backyard, who can she borrow from That loyal servant of Lin Yaozhu's, right"

"Wow, that's quite impressive. I wonder what Lin Yaizu will do when he finds out."

The ripples said while petting a cat,

"Rest assured, I will keep an eye on the developments."

Lian Yi was happily listening to gossip when Grandma Sun came over with a piece of paper.

"Madam, this is an invitation sent by Madam Hou. She said that since the weather is hot now, they are holding a chrysanthemum banquet at the Hou Mansion, and they would like to invite you back."

When

"In ten days."

"I understand. You tell Mother that I'll be back, and I want to see them too."

Ripple smiled and said.

"Yes, Madam, I will have the messenger relay the message back."

Grandma Sun also let out a sigh of relief. If Madam wouldn't agree to go back, she would have to spend time persuading her. Now that Madam readily agreed, it saved her a lot of trouble.

Feng watched as his grandmother hurried away, Meow meow called twice and then transmitted a message:

"Master, this is no ordinary feast. They are definitely targeting your belly."

"My Xiaofeng still uses idioms, and he's not bad at it."

Ripple patted the whirlwind's head and praised it.

"Is the master going to stay"

"Come on, why not go Let's watch a play!"

Ripples said calmly.

"I have nothing to fear, and besides, I have Doudou with me! What could possibly scare me"

"Okay, I will accompany the owner at that time."

When the wind swept past, even Feng could feel it. He calmly lay down and continued to nap.

After receiving the response, Madam Hou let out a sigh of relief. She always felt that if she couldn't drug her eldest daughter this time, there would be no other opportunity.

Especially these two days when she went to see her youngest daughter, the little girl's face looked increasingly worse. Her features were still the same, and they were in the right place, but there was just something about her that looked terrible.

The Hou residence had used their connections, but even Dr. Wen couldn't find anything wrong. He only said that the youngest daughter was weak and her qi and blood were deficient, so she needed to be nourished properly. But it had been over half a year, and there hadn't been much improvement. She was very anxious inside.

The wealthy families living in the imperial city certainly received many invitations to summer banquets. They would selectively attend a few, as a form of social interaction among their peers and also for the sake of networking for their husbands. Some people were quite enthusiastic about these events.

So the chrysanthemum viewing banquet at An Ding Hou Mansion was also very lively, with many people attending. The two young masters of the mansion also invited some of their familiar colleagues and friends to join in the fun.

After getting up early, Lian Yi was served by Mei Zhi as she dressed and adorned herself. She wore a purple-pink ru skirt and a set of ruby headdresses. Her skirt hem was also adorned with jade ornaments. Accompanied by a group of people, she boarded the carriage to An Ding Hou's mansion.

Lady Lin actually didn't want to let Lianyi leave the house. Her daughter-in-law was already six months pregnant, her belly looking like it was eight months along, and she was very worried. However, the invitation was sent by a trusted confidante of Houfu's wife, clearly showing that she missed her daughter, and Lady Lin couldn't stop her.

At this time, Mrs. Lin felt a bit resentful towards Madam Hou. Knowing that her daughter was carrying twins, she, as the mother herself, showed no sympathy. What could it do if she wanted to see her daughter and went to the Shangshu Mansion

So when ripples went out, she sent her trusted maid Zhen Mama to keep an eye on her daughter-in-law's belly. She made sure that nothing could be missed.

This side of the ripples, there is Grandmother Sun, along with her four maidservants: Mei Zhi, Fang Cao, Hong Qi, and Lu Cui. In addition to strong servants and two young boys, the whole group swaggered into the back courtyard.

When Madam Hou saw the ripples, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes. Truly, this eldest daughter's complexion was even better. If you didn't look at her belly, who could tell she was six months pregnant

"Ripple, you've arrived."

Madam Hou immediately said with a smile.

"Having seen my mother, I feel even heavier now, so I have to pack a lot of things when going out and it takes some time. They treat me like porcelain now."

Ripple held onto Grandma Sun's hand and said.

"That's right, I was originally going to visit you at Hou Mansion. But my old bones aren't what they used to be. It was hot inside the house, and I had put an extra pot of ice in there to cool it down, which made me feel unwell. I didn't want to infect you with my illness when I saw you."

"Or perhaps your father is planning a chrysanthemum viewing party, so he can invite you back to relax for a day."

Mrs. Hou's two sentences completely turned the situation around, shifting the reason for this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet onto her younger daughter.pies I encountered in Huangsha City. They infiltrated Hanzhong all for a supposed treasure.”Ripple spoke in a soft voice, then took out a roll of blueprints from her satchel. It was the one she used t...
