"Go back to your wife and I'll try my best."

Shen Zhu said.

She wasn't sure about the medicinal effects of the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead and the detoxification pill, so she didn't dare to speak so clearly.

"Alright, it's been hard on you." The Madame Ye nodded, then pulled Shen Zhu to talk a lot more.

Seeing that it was getting late, Madame Ye let Shen Zhu go back.

Unknowingly, Shen Zhu's conversation with the Madame Ye had spread throughout the manor. There were even more rumors that Shen Zhu had ways to completely cure Young Master's long term illness.

As soon as the news came out, some people from the East District could no longer sit still.

Initially, Meier thought that she didn't like what she said to the Duke and his wife. He had clearly understood that Mu had said that they could at least listen for a bit, but he hadn't thought that the Duke would be so angry.

And now, Shen Zhu had said that he could cure Ming Yuchen's illness …

This was very disadvantageous for her right now!

Meier sat in front of the dressing table and combed his hair and called Xiao Li over.

"Xiao Li, how are the things that I instructed you to do two days ago?"

Meier sized up her beautiful face in the copper mirror and suddenly remembered something else.

"Reporting to Aunt, according to your instructions, I've specially observed her for the past two days. Recently, the First Wife has always preferred sour food and always called her 'tired'." Xiao Li reported in a low voice.

Hearing that, Meier frowned, she was suspicious — Could it be that Madame Jiang was pregnant?

"Come, let's go to her room and take a look." Meier slapped the wooden brush onto the dressing table, and his half-closed eyes revealed a trace of a dangerous aura.

In the past two days, she had already noticed that there was something unusual about Madame Jiang. Madame Jiang was originally not picky about food, but recently, she had paid extra attention to food, and she didn't even want to smell it.

At that time, Meier was suspicious of her, so he let Xiao Li observe her for a few days to see if she discovered anything else.

"Yes, Aunt." Xiao Li responded as he helped Meier up.

Before going out, Meier made Xiao Li prepare a set of pastries, and even specially instructed that the pastries must be made with hawthorn. When Meier brought Xiao Li to the Madame Jiang's room.

Madame Jiang was in the room embroidering a handkerchief, and only a servant girl was by his side.

"Meier greets elder sister." Meier made a fake bow towards Madame Jiang, and before anyone could say anything, he walked forward and sat beside her.

"Meier? You, why are you here? "

Glimmers danced in the Madame Jiang's eyes as she put down the embroidery in her hands in a panic.

"Elder sister is the official wife of Mu Lang, and I am a concubine. I should pay my respects to elder sister." Meier smirked and replied, "It's just that Mu Lang is very considerate of this concubine, so you don't have to pay your respects to me every day."

Meier said, he waved and called Xiao Li over, and took out the pastries out from the food box, "Even so, I am sorry, but today I am free, so I came here to see elder sister."

"Thanks for your concern, little sister." Madame Jiang lowered his eyebrows, his hands tightly holding onto the handkerchief that he had just embroidered halfway.

"Elder sister's words are foreign. We are all family, it is only right for little sister to care for elder sister." Meier laughed as he placed the pastries on the table, and said: "I heard that elder sister's appetite was not very good, so I asked the kitchen to make some hawthorn cakes, do you want to try it?"

Meier's eyes were fixated on Madame Jiang, the smile on his face did not reach his eyes at all, "This hawthorn cake is good for the stomach, if I eat more, my appetite might increase."

Hearing that, Madame Jiang's heart thumped, a wave of fear following along.

Hawthorn is a living blood, pregnancy at the early stage of the fetal image is not stable, this kind of thing is not to be touched, otherwise it is extremely likely to lead to miscarriage.

"I, I …" Madame Jiang looked at the pastries on the plate, "I'm not hungry." She pursed her red lips, her face somewhat pale.

"What is it? "Elder sister, are you worried that I would poison this hawthorn cake?" Meier squinted, his words carrying a trace of threat.

Carefully speaking, if Madame Jiang was really pregnant, then this hawthorn cake was extremely poisonous to Madame Jiang. Although it would not take her life, but it would cause the child in her to die.

"Sister can relax, there's no poison in this pastry." Meier smiled sweetly: "Look, didn't I eat it too?"

She picked up a piece of cake from the plate and put it in her mouth.

Meier asked. "If Big Sister doesn't want to eat, could it be that there is something that you have hidden from your little sister?"

"No, no." The Madame Jiang was shocked and quickly took a piece of hawthorn cake and took a small bite.

Seeing Meier staring at her, she had no choice but to bite a few more times.

"How does sister feel about the taste?" Meier smiled and asked, but to Madame Jiang, his smile was extremely dazzling.

"It tastes good. Thank you for your concern, sister." Madame Jiang laughed stiffly.

"That's good." Seeing that she had eaten an entire hawthorn cake, the worry in Meier's heart was finally dispelled, and he did not plan to stay any longer.

"If elder sister likes it, please eat more. I am relieved to see that elder sister is fine. I will return first." Meier stood up and walked out of the house with an imposing manner.

However, she didn't return to her room. Instead, she went to the study room.

Inside the house —

When Madame Jiang saw Meier leaving, he immediately spat out the hawthorn cake in his mouth. Although he more or less ate it, but this bit should not be a problem.

Meier naturally did not know about these things, she saw that Madame Jiang had eaten the hawthorn cake and was sure that Madame Jiang was only feeling unwell.

After she was scolded by Ming Chengyan two days ago, she no longer came to Meier's room these two days. She knew that Mu had some resentment towards her, but … As a man, he still had to be coaxed when the time came.

"Mu Lang ~" Meier opened the door to the study and shouted as she entered.

He understood that Mu was practicing calligraphy by the side of the table. However, he could tell that he was feeling extremely agitated. There were piles of paper scattered all over the floor.

"Why did you come here instead of staying in the room?" Mu raised his eyes and looked at Meier, his expression not as passionate as before.

"Mulang, I know you've been scolded, and I was unhappy. I was careless, and caused you to receive a scolding from the prince. If you want to blame me, then blame me, Mulang, but don't ruin your own body." Meier bit his lower lip.

"How could I blame you? I know you did it for my own good."

He clearly understood the guilty tone of the woman, and his tone softened — — He would never be too angry towards Meier.

However, he thought for his father and mother out of good intentions. He never expected that his father would be enraged.

These two days, he had not held himself back in the study room to reflect on his emotions, but to vent.

It was naturally impossible for him to be angry at Meier. As long as he saw Meier's face and heard that delicate voice, all of his anger would immediately dissipate.

He just couldn't swallow his anger!
