After being kicked out of the prince's mansion, he suffered from morning sickness, and the rege

"Axue, is there any progress between you and the eldest young master?"

Qian Xue glanced at Liuli listlessly, lowered her head again, and said in a muffled voice, "It's almost the same as before."

Liuli said softly, "Huh?", "But isn't the eldest master going to marry a girl from the Qi family? Didn't he discuss the issue of heirs with you?"

Qian Xue instantly looked up at Liuli and saw that her eyes were only worried about her. She finally pursed her lips and told Liuli about her quarrel with Jing Yu in a difficult voice.

Liuli's eyes opened wider and wider, and her mouth opened wide enough to fit a whole egg.

"You! My silly Axue, why are you so insistent on leaving the house? The eldest young master has feelings for you. Isn't it good to be an aunt in the future and give birth to a child for the young master, and let others take care of you? ?”

Qianxue shook her head and said softly, "Ali, people are different. A maid's child is far worse than others from the beginning."

Liuli hurriedly covered Qian Xue's mouth, "What nonsense are you talking about? They are all the blood of young masters, so there is nothing to lose their lives."

Qianxue did not waver, so Liuli took her hand and persuaded her: "You are also in the middle of the game, so you can't see the situation clearly. As for what you argued with the eldest young master yesterday, any other person who has no sympathy would say, With the young master's temper, I'm afraid everyone is already half disabled."

"Look at you again. There's nothing to do. The young master didn't even ask you to do some heavy work. Isn't he thinking about you?"

Liuli smiled as she spoke. She lightly poked Qianxue's forehead and said a little: "Silly~"

Qianxue was poked by this and suddenly remembered something, "Ali, didn't you tell me before that you would feel uncomfortable when the third young master was intimate with another young lady?"

Liuli blinked and nodded in confusion.

"So, how did you feel when you knew that the third young master was getting engaged?" She looked at Liuli, her eyes longing for an answer.

Liuli smiled lightly and covered her face with a handkerchief, "I hid under the quilt and cried for several days, and felt uncomfortable for a while. However, I know in my heart that the third young master will always have a real wife. Even if I am sad, It won’t change anything.”

These words suddenly hit Qian Xue's heart. That day, when she saw the young master and Miss Qi Liu smiling at each other through the rain curtain, she felt the same uncontrollable sadness in her heart.

Qianxue doesn't like this feeling of not being under her control. She is afraid that one day she will become like Liuli.

She cautiously waited for the arrival of the young master in the backyard every day, and even began to look forward to giving birth to a child for the young master, so that the young master could look at her more.

But, she didn't want to.

Although she had discussed everything with Liuli before and was willing to listen to Liuli's suggestions, she and Liuli were not the same kind of people after all.

Liuli thinks that becoming an aunt and having a child of her own is the good life she dreams of. However, she is not a person who likes to interfere in other people's lives, and she does not want to be an eyesore in other people's lives.

When Liuli saw that Qianxue stopped talking again, she didn't care. When they were together, she was the one talking most of the time and Qianxue was listening.

"Let me tell you, in the past few days, there have been several doctors who are famous in pregnancy matters in the imperial capital. If the eldest young master agrees, you can leave the house at any time. We will also find time to ask."

Liuli stroked her belly as she spoke, and then looked at Qianxue's belly, "Those Buzi soups are the most harmful to the body."

Qianxue always believed in her mother's advice when it came to children, and asked with some confusion: "Ali, is having a child so important?"

Liuli was stunned by her question. After thinking about it for a while, she still explained stumblingly.

"A woman's beautiful life lasts only about ten years. If she doesn't have children, how will she spend the rest of her life?" Liuli's bright eyes gradually became filled with a hint of sadness, but there was a smile on her lips.

"But if you give birth to children for young masters, then they have been freed from slavery since they were born. The boys can be supported by the family to study and practice calligraphy, and they are also qualified to take part in the imperial examination. Even if they win the imperial examination, they are considered half-officials. I’m pregnant.”

Liuli looked at Qian Xue's seemingly incomprehensible expression and elaborated, "A Xue, have you ever calculated the cost of supporting a child to study? Just the child's annual education can bring down a relatively wealthy family. He comes from a farming family, what if he also includes pen, ink, paper and inkstone? He may not even be qualified for education!"

"If it's a daughter, the upbringing nun in the house can teach her knitting needlework, and learn some etiquette from her. She can also learn to read some words and read some books from her brother. When she is old enough, she can find a similar family to marry into, and she will be married to a similar family for the rest of her life. If you don’t have to be blown by the wind and heat, and you don’t have to serve the master as carefully as we do, you will be better off than me."

Every word Liuli has thought about carefully is the life she hopes for.

Qian Xue asked stubbornly: "If the mistress is unkind, what if the child is tortured every day after birth? What if she even deliberately teaches the child bad things?"

Liuli's smile faded, "They are all the young masters' flesh and blood, and they will never be allowed to live such a miserable life."

Qianxue sighed, "Ali, we have been waiting in Madam's house for so long. How often do we see Madam's methods of suppressing people? When have you ever seen the Prime Minister deal with her fairly?"

"The so-called concubines and concubines are nothing more than stone slabs paving the way for others!"

All the beautiful illusions were shattered one by one. Liuli became unstable and slumped back.

Qianxue panicked and hurried to help her, but she heard a cold and solemn voice, "That's how you miss me."

Both of them were startled by the sound and turned their heads to look.

Jing Yu, who was wearing a crimson official uniform, stood at the end of the corridor like a silent flame with a condensed expression.

The two immediately stood up and saluted Jing Yu.

Jing Yu glanced at Qian Xue, and then looked at Liuli, "Qian Xue will go back with me first."

Liuli was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "The third young master should be back soon, so I'll leave first."

She raised her head and glanced at Qian Xue, nodded slightly in greeting, then turned and left.

Qian Xue looked at Liuli's figure but couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, Liuli's demeanor just now didn't look too good.

"I didn't expect that in your mouth, I am just a dim-witted master who treats concubines harshly and doesn't know right from wrong?"

Qianxue quickly looked away and whispered back: "This servant has never thought about the young master in this way. I am just helping Ali analyze her situation."

Jing Yu took another step closer. He didn't believe what he said. Qian Xue said it so smoothly just now. She must have been thinking about it for a long time, but today she finally had the chance to express it.

Qian Xue was overwhelmed by Jing Yu's aura and couldn't help but take a step back, "Master Mingjian, I have never had such disrespectful thoughts."

When Jing Yu saw her retreating, he immediately took another step to catch up, not giving her the slightest chance to escape.

Qian Xue raised her hand to Jing Yu's chest in a panic, and looked at Jing Yu nervously with her almond-shaped eyes.
