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

Qin Linfeng had seen plenty of beautiful women before.

Qin Linfeng only glanced at Shen Qinghe from a distance, but was immediately captivated and couldn't look away.

I've followed her all the way to now, but the closer I get, the more I feel that the girl in front of me is really... much more exciting than those other girls.

Her figure and face were simply stunning; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a beauty of unparalleled grace.

Qin Linfeng was now driven by his lower body. Looking at Shen Qinghe, he confidently declared, "Don't worry, you won't regret following me!"

As Qin Linfeng was about to grab Shen Qinghe's wrist, a cold snort suddenly came from behind him—

"Qin Linfeng!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghe immediately realized it was her young master. Just as she was about to act, the tall figure solidly shielded her in front of him.

In an instant, Shen Qinghe felt a sense of security.

When Qin Linfeng saw it, he was surprised to find it was his own brother-in-law, whose official position was earned through hard work and dedication.

Qin Linfeng respected and feared him from the bottom of his heart, as he was a newly powerful military officer who held real power in the imperial court.

His face immediately broke into a smile: "Brother-in-law, weren't you on patrol? What brings you here?"

Lu Jihan's gaze fell on his face, scrutinizing him. Knowing that his brother-in-law was a playboy, he didn't answer, but only emphasized, "She is my mistress."

"So it's the girl from my brother-in-law's family!! What a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Linfeng was overjoyed and quickly said to Lu Jihan, "To be honest, brother-in-law, I... I fell in love with this young lady at first sight, and even more so at second sight! I really like her, which is why I wanted to bring her to my residence, but I didn't know where she lived. Now that you've told me, it must be fate! Please allow this young lady to come with me. I will definitely treat her well with all my heart. Even if she comes from a humble background, as long as she gives birth to a child, I can make her my concubine openly and legitimately. Please rest assured and entrust her to me!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but observe Lu Jihan's expression.

Shen Qinghe didn't dare to speak. She gently tugged at Lu Jihan's sleeve, and seeing him lower his head slightly, she quickly distanced herself from him.

"My lord, I will not go."

Lu Jihan's expression softened slightly. He stared calmly and indifferently at Qin Linfeng, a smile playing on his lips rather than anger, and placed one hand on Qin's shoulder:

"Then I'll treat you well too?"

"Well..." Qin Linfeng said with a smile, but the smile vanished the next moment!

Lu Jihan simply threw Qin Linfeng to the ground with one hand, while Yun Chen put a sack over his head.

Lu Jihan punched the sack!

"She is my mother!"

Qin Linfeng was still struggling, but when he heard Lu Jihan's words, he realized what was happening and broke out in a cold sweat.

My mother and my mother, just one word difference makes all the difference!

Lu Jihan's angry shouts continued:

"Do I need you to treat me well?!"

"You'll be turning twenty next year and you're still such a spoiled brat. I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your sister!"

Shen Qinghe and the soldiers not far away dared not utter a word.

Lu Jihan was not lenient. Before long, when the sack was taken out again, Qin Linfeng inside had a bruised and swollen face and his voice was extremely weak.

"Sister...brother-in-law..."

Lu Jihan casually dusted off his sleeves and said, "To harass a respectable woman in the street is punishable by forty strokes of the cane according to the laws of our dynasty. I have already taken care of that and helped your young master back home."

These words left Qin Linfeng speechless, and he could only collapse to the ground as the servant dragged him back.

It was getting late, and with so many people on the streets during the Thousand Buddhas Festival, it was really dangerous for her, a woman all alone.

After Shen Qinghe delivered the barbecue, Lu Jihan escorted her back to her residence.

-

Shen Qinghe returned to the courtyard.

Qing'er, accompanied by Lvxiu, indeed grilled several plates of meat and vegetables, all sprinkled with seasonings.

Green Sleeves stared longingly at Shen Qinghe, even offering her some meat: "Little lady, eat it while it's hot!"

Since Green Sleeve arrived, she has spoken to Shen Qinghe very few times, let alone taken the initiative to speak to her.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Shen Qinghe smiled and replied, "Okay!"

As she spoke, Shen Qinghe reached out to take the plate, but she turned sharply and grabbed Green Sleeve's hand tightly, then shouted:

"Lin Feng! Lin Feng, come quick! We've caught the thief!!"

Green Sleeves' eyes widened, and she panicked instantly. Lin Feng had already rushed in with the guards and seized her.

Qing'er tested it with a silver needle, and sure enough, it turned black.

Greensleeves poisoned that barbecue!

Shen Qinghe glanced at it: "Come with me, let's deliver it to Yuhetang!"

The old lady sat at the front and, after hearing Shen Qinghe recount the whole story, immediately interrogated Lüxiu.

As soon as Granny Kang and the other old nannies took out their short sticks, as thick as a baby's arm, before they could even strike, Green Sleeve confessed in terror: "It was...it was Chen!! It was Chen who threatened me with my sister, Green Ivy!!"

The old lady glared at her coldly, "Bring Madam Chen here!"

Before long, Chen was brought over by the maids. Upon seeing the scene, she realized what was going on and refused to confess.

After being given a severe beating by the matriarch, Madam Chen was driven mad: "Yes! It was me!! I was the one who poisoned Shen Qinghe! I hate her! I can't stand to see her doing well! How dare she get pregnant with the young marquis's child?!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady was stunned.

Lu Jihan, who had just stepped into Yuhe Hall, was also stunned.

He's having a baby!?
