The Marquis's line has ended? The pregnant maid is pregnant again!

"Spread your legs wider."

Shen Qinghe's long, straight legs were pulled apart, and the wind rushed in. The sudden chill beneath her made her instinctively grip the edge of the bed.

In the candlelight, the face of the examining nanny drew closer and closer.

Her lower body was mercilessly pried open with a wooden ruler, and then pinched hard twice, causing her to shrink back in fear.

Shen Qinghe was like meat on a chopping board, allowing people to examine her at will.

She turned her head and saw her younger sister, Shen Yun'er, who was with her for the medical examination.

Kang, the old nanny, hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and reported: "Madam, it has been checked. Both young ladies are virgins. Qinghuan has a slender waist, which is exactly what men like."

Qinghe was especially well-endowed with large breasts and a plump bottom, making her a good mother.

Both girls were raised and educated by your side, so they must know proper etiquette and how to behave. If you really had to choose one, it would be a difficult decision.

In my humble opinion, the Second Young Master's room is empty, so why not send one to the Young Marquis's room and the other to the Second Young Master's room?

"That's a good idea."

Upon hearing this, the old lady glanced at Shen Qinghe's breasts, which were much fuller than those of an ordinary woman, and a rare smile appeared on her face: "Then, which of you two will go to the young marquis's room, and which will go to the second young master's room?"

Shen Qinghe had just put on her clothes when she heard her younger sister, Shen Yun'er, speak first:

"Reporting to Madam, this servant is well aware of the beauty of cattails and is willing to go to the Second Young Master's room to take care of him."

Shen Qinghe froze, almost instantly certain that her younger sister, Shen Yun'er, had also been reborn!

In her past life, Shen Yun'er looked down on the second young master Lu Huai'an, considering him a playboy, and vied to become the concubine of the young marquis Lu Jihan. Shen Qinghe could only become the concubine of the playboy Lu Huai'an.

Who would have thought that Lu Huai'an would suddenly realize his mistake, pass the imperial examination, and become the powerful Grand Secretary, while Shen Qinghe would rise from a maidservant to the position of the Grand Secretary's wife.

Shen Yun'er, however, has never been favored by Lu Jihan. She tries her best to win his favor, even touching the hem of his clothes, and is still harassed and troubled by his wives and concubines.

Shen Qinghe felt sorry for her younger sister, so she took Shen Yun'er to live with her and took care of her. No one in the mansion dared to bully her anymore.

However, Shen Yun'er harbored jealousy and hatred, and poisoned Shen Qinghe to frame her for having an affair, causing her child to die in the womb. She became depressed and passed away before she was forty.

A fierce rage ignited in Shen Qinghe's chest.

She had struggled in the inner quarters of the mansion for twenty years, and after finally enjoying two good days, she lost her child and everything else because of a moment of weakness!

How could she not hate or resent Shen Yun'er?

It seems Shen Yun'er is going to start over and make a change.

Okay, let's change it then!

"Very well, the Second Young Master is still a son of my Marquis's mansion, so you are fortunate."

Seeing that Shen Yun'er was humble and did not rush to go to the young marquis's room, the old lady nodded in satisfaction: "Qinghe, you should also get ready to serve the young marquis."

Shen Qinghe snapped out of her daze and hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude: "This servant thanks the old lady for her kindness and will certainly serve the young marquis wholeheartedly!"

"Although the young marquis and the second young master have wives and concubines, they have no children. If you two can conceive a child, I will immediately propose you as a concubine. If it is a son, you can also be a concubine."

The old lady held a string of glass and agate prayer beads in her hand, her fingertips twirling one bead after another: "Remember, you must quickly serve the emperor. Even if the principal wife and the marquis's wife are displeased, you will have my protection. But if you fail to serve the emperor within three days, don't blame me for being ruthless and kicking you out!"

The two thanked the old lady and left her courtyard.

Shen Qinghe went to wash and dress up, and she specially asked the nanny to find her a snow-white dress to change into.

"It's too plain. What man doesn't like something alluring and graceful?" the old woman advised.

"Thank you for your concern, Granny. This one is very good."

Shen Qinghe looked at herself in the mirror. The wrinkles from years of hard work had all disappeared, her dull and yellowish skin had become fair and white, her eyebrows were naturally dark, and her lips were even more lustrous and full.

In this life, she will never show the slightest mercy; if she's going to fight, she'll fight to the very end!

Young Marquis Lu Jihan was known for his abstinence from sex. In his previous life, he never had a son or daughter until his death, and Shen Yun'er never even slept with him.

Shen Yun'er failed to win the emperor's favor because she lacked the ability.

Shen Qinghe had her own way of making Lu Jihan treat her differently.

-

Shen Qinghe was led to the front yard, where she saw all the servants running away as if they were being chased by ghosts, each carrying a tray.

The guiding maid went up to inquire, and Shen Qinghe overheard a bit of what she heard—

"Granny, you don't know this, but today is Miss Cousin's wedding. After attending the wedding banquet, the young marquis went to the military camp. Since returning, he's been unpredictable. I heard his golden armor was stained with blood, and he was carrying a long sword. Who would dare to go up and serve him!"

Shen Qinghe's eyes lit up; this was a fantastic opportunity!

Ignoring the old woman's attempts to stop her, she went straight to the courtyard.

She knocked on the door. "Young Master?"

The tall, slender figure reflected in the window seemed to move slightly, and soon a cold shout rang out:

"All of you, step back! I don't need anyone to serve me!"

The man's voice was rough and deep, a product of his military campaigns, giving him an aura a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary young master, not to mention the anger he was suppressing at the moment.

If it were a normal servant, they would have turned and run away in fear long ago.

Shen Qinghe, however, did not.

Unable to get the door open by knocking, she pushed it open and boldly went inside, instinctively shuddering.

It was July, the time of year when the sun was at its strongest, yet the entire bedroom felt as cold as an ice cave.

The tall figure reclining on the couch was dressed in half a deep red official robe and half a heavy armor, with a few drops of dried blood still clinging to the armor, gleaming coldly in the candlelight.

The candlelight flickered, obscuring most of his profile in shadow, revealing only his sharp, taut jawline, which shifted with the flickering candlelight, making him appear even more mysterious and cold.

Lu Jihan, in his previous life, was a notorious young marquis in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom who had no heir. He was extremely averse to women, and rumors circulated that he had homosexual tendencies.

Shen Qinghe knew, however, that Lu Jihan was neither homosexual nor childless.

She curtsied:

"This servant, Shen Qinghe, greets the young marquis."

The woman's voice was like a jade bead falling, clean and crisp.

Shen Qinghe knelt on the ground, the cold floor tiles digging into her knees. She was slender, dressed in a white dress, and her figure was stretched thin in the dim candlelight.

Like a delicate dodder vine, it withers without support. Shen Qinghe deliberately portrays the image that men most want to conquer and possess.

But the person on the bed didn't even lift an eyelid. He frowned, and angrily shouted, "Who gave you permission to come in?! Get out now!"

Lu Jihan is indeed as rumored to be, uninterested in women!

The oppressive feeling washed over her, and even though she had been reborn, Shen Qinghe swallowed nervously: "Young Marquis, this servant was sent by the Old Madam to serve you."

Lu Jihan fell silent, then opened his eyes, sat up, and said irritably, "Why hasn't Grandmother given up yet?"

Just as Lu Jihan was about to kick the person out, there was a knock on the door. Kang Mama, who was by the old lady's side, said it again. He knew this person and that he couldn't kick him out today no matter what.

Lu Jihan pinched the bridge of his nose, propped himself up on the table, and staggered to the bedside.

"What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to help me undress?"
