Xiao Wanxue waved her hand, “Wan Qiu, if you’re not by mother’s side to serve her, why have you come here?”
“Ms. Yang’s house is building a new residence. The master and Lady Xiao originally planned to come personally to offer their congratulations, but Lady Xiao suddenly felt unwell and thus was unable to come. So she instructed me to deliver the congratulatory gift,” Wan Qiu finished and handed the gift to Yang Mengchen.
As a dutiful daughter, Xiao Wanxue became anxious immediately upon hearing this, “Where is mother feeling unwell? What did the doctor say?”
“Lady Xiao has little appetite and often feels sleepy, but there’s nothing else seriously wrong,” Wan Qiu hesitated for a moment before speaking to Yang Mengchen, “It’s just that Lady Xiao insists on not calling a doctor, and the master is at a loss. Ms. Yang, Lady Xiao listens to you the most. Could you please go see her?”

“Alright.”
After notifying her family, Yang Mengchen, along with Yang Chengrong, and Xiao Wanxue with her servant followed Wan Qiu and immediately took a carriage to the County Office.
As they entered the inner courtyard, two ostentatiously dressed women appeared with their maids and bowed to Xiao Wanxue, saying, “Madam Yu (Madam Fang) has seen the young lady.”
Without even glancing at them, Xiao Wanxue took Yang Mengchen’s arm and went straight to her mother’s room.
Staring intently at Xiao Wanxue’s retreating figure, both women’s expressions were asdark as frost, their eyes filled with spiteful disdain. Suddenly, seeing Yang Mengchen turn her head around, they felt an inexplicable chill down their spines and an involuntary tremble throughout their bodies. Their gloomy faces twisted in fear.
Who was that little girl? Why had they felt a sense of alarm and unease in their hearts since they saw her?
They must find out the little girl’s identity as soon as possible. If she were to interfere and ruin the old lady’s important matters, they wouldn’t be able to shoulder the blame.
Seeing through their thoughts, Yang Mengchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of mockery and murderous intent fleeting across them.
Wan Qiu led Yang Chengrong to a side room.
Meanwhile, Yang Mengchen and Xiao Wanxue entered the small hall where they saw Lady Xiao languidly reclining on a soft couch, indeed looking somewhat listless.
“Chenchen and Wan Xue are back; come here and sit,” Lady Xiao said cheerfully, waving her hand at her two beloved daughters.
Chu Chun and Sheng Xia quickly moved stools next to the soft couch.
Pulling Yang Mengchen to sit on a stool, Xiao Wanxue asked with concern, “Mother, what’s making you feel uncomfortable? Why won’t you see a doctor?”
“I’m just suffering a bit from the summer heat; there’s no need for a doctor,” Lady Xiao said, shaking her head with a smile. “It’s just that Xiangyi (Sister Ke’s maiden name) is making a big deal out of nothing. She knows full well that Chenchen’s house is under construction and Chenchen must be very busy, yet she disregarded my instructions and bothered Chenchen. She really deserves to be punished.”
Sister Ke interjected, “This old servant deserves punishment! But since Ms. Yang has come anyway, Lady Xiao should let Ms. Yang take your pulse first, and then you can punish this old servant later.”
This month, Lady Xiao’s period had not come, and these past few days she had been lethargic, without appetite and sleepy. She suspected that Lady Xiao might be pregnant, but she was afraid to raise her hopes in case it wasn’t so because after giving birth to the young lady, the doctor had said it would be difficult for her to conceive again.
“Don’t blame Sister Ke, Aunty Xiao. Sister Ke also meant well, and besides, grandfather and the others have taken charge of the construction; it’s not much effort for me just to have a look around,” said Yang Mengchen as she took Lady Xiao’s pulse. After a moment, she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Aunty Xiao, you are over one month pregnant. I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. You just need to be a little careful, that’s all.”
Lady Xiao’s mouth hung open, unable to react for a long time. She was actually pregnant? She could hardly believe it, knowing that the doctor had said it would be difficult for her to conceive again.
