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

"Pregnant?!" The old lady, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up abruptly and was helped by Granny Kang to Shen Qinghe's side:

"Qinghe, you're pregnant?!"

In her agitation, the old lady forgot all about the composure and dignity she had maintained for so many years, and ignored Chen, who was slumped to the side.

Even Lu Jihan, who had just passed the door, rushed forward in two strides and stood beside Shen Qinghe, his sword-like eyes fixed on her with an unusual look of tension.

Shen Qinghe looked somewhat bewildered: "Reporting to Madam, I haven't had much of an appetite lately..."

"You silly girl, why didn't you say so sooner?!" Upon hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but smile, turning to Qing'er beside her: "Has your mistress started her period this month? Has she had any other unusual symptoms lately?"

"Reporting to Madam, my sister's period hasn't come yet this month." Qing'er thought carefully and took out a small salted plum from her sleeve: "By the way, my sister hasn't had a good appetite lately and can't even eat a bowl of rice a day. She only loves these plums that I made."

Granny Kang immediately grabbed a piece and popped it into her mouth. Her face turned green with sourness. "So sour! Madam, Qinghe's period hasn't come, she's craving sour things, and has a poor appetite. I think she's probably pregnant!!"

"In this way, I can finally say that I have done right by her..." The old lady could not hide her excitement.

Lu Jihan, standing nearby, was even more visibly shaken and reached out to support Shen Qinghe, saying, "Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"

Upon hearing Lu Jihan's words, the old lady finally came to her senses and kept saying, "Yes, yes, I was so happy that I lost my mind. Of course, we should ask the physician to come and take her pulse! Quickly, help Qinghe sit down. If she is pregnant, we must not let her get tired."

The old lady watched the servants move chairs, growing increasingly anxious: "If this is truly necessary, help Qinghe to my seat!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the servants brought in chairs, and Shen Qinghe was pressed down to sit by Granny Kang.

The old lady was beside her, talking to her: "How can you be so careless about your own body? How can you ignore something as important as pregnancy?"

Shen Qinghe blushed and said, "It was my own oversight."

"Oh dear, it's all thanks to that heartless person who noticed. If it weren't for her, if that child were still in your womb, something terrible might have happened..."

The old lady said, coldly looking at Chen Shi, "Ten of you wouldn't be enough to pay with your lives!!"

The physician arrived quickly, carrying a small wooden box, his forehead covered in sweat from his haste.

"Quickly, quickly, let Qinghe take a look!" The old lady immediately ordered the family physician to check on Shen Qinghe's condition.

The physician reached out and gently placed his fingertips on Shen Qinghe's pulse. He lowered his head, and his expression was not very clear.

All eyes in the room immediately fell on Shen Qinghe and the physician.

Even Shen Qinghe's gaze fell on the physician, and her heart couldn't help but pound.

She genuinely hadn't paid attention to her body and was somewhat unsure whether she was pregnant or not.

Fortunately, it was Chen who brought this up, so it wasn't considered that she was faking a pregnancy to win favor.

Shen Qinghe was filled with anxiety and could only comfort herself in this way.

The old lady, unable to contain her curiosity, asked, "How is it? Is there a pregnancy sign?"

The physician frowned, looking somewhat hesitant: "Miss Qinghe's pulse is a bit strange. At present, it doesn't seem like she's pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the old lady felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.

She just wants a great-grandchild, why is it so difficult for her!

"Could it be that Heaven is punishing my Zhenguo Marquis's mansion?! In the prime of our lives, why can't we even have a great-grandson?!"

The old lady held a handkerchief, covering her face in sorrow.

Shen Qinghe quickly stood up and knelt down, "Madam, it's me..."

Hearing Shen Qinghe's apologetic voice, the old lady quickly took off her handkerchief and patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "Good child, this is not your fault. If it is the fate of my Zhenguo Marquis's mansion, I'm afraid only Guanyin Bodhisattva could change it."

Get up.

Lu Jihan helped Shen Qinghe up with one hand and comforted the old lady, saying, "Grandmother, I am only twenty-four years old. I will definitely have children. Don't be too anxious."

"Yes, now that I have Qinghe, I don't have the worries I used to have."

The old lady sighed deeply.

At this moment, Chen's somewhat manic laughter rang out from the side: "Hahahaha... So, so you lowly servant weren't pregnant at all! I've been a worthless villain! Hahaha... I'm out of favor, Shen Qinghe, you can forget about getting pregnant!"

The old lady was in a bad mood, and upon hearing Chen's words, her gaze shifted to Chen lying on the ground. Her voice was sharp: "You heartless wretch, how dare you speak so arrogantly! Even if Qinghe isn't pregnant, you dare to do such despicable and vicious things in my Zhenguo Marquis's mansion. It's simply lawless! How could I have ever chosen such a heartless wretch like you!"

After her tirade, the old lady's anger subsided considerably. Helped to sit down by Granny Kang, her tone calmed as she said, "Such a heartless wretch is no longer acceptable to the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion. Tear out her tongue and sell her off with her indenture!"

"Madam, I beg you..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Chen was so frightened that she dared not move. She had thought that at most she would be kicked out of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion, and at least she could survive with her valuables.

But who would have thought that the old lady, who was always so compassionate, would be so cruel this time?!

If your tongue is pulled out and then sold to a human trafficker, you might not even survive, let alone live a miserable life if you encounter a bad buyer!

Before Chen could even cry out, she was dragged out by the maids.

Once Chen's matter was settled, the old lady calmed down, reread the physician's words, and gently instructed Shen Qinghe:

"I'm sorry you were frightened today. Go back and rest well. From today onwards, the royal physician will come to your courtyard every day to check your pulse. If you feel unwell, be sure to tell the royal physician the truth. You can no longer ignore your health."

Shen Qinghe smiled and thanked her, "This servant thanks the old lady for her concern. This servant will certainly do her best to serve the young marquis."

Lu Jihan frowned: "Grandmother, this matter cannot be rushed! We must take care of her health first."

Seeing Lu Jihan protecting Shen Qinghe, the old lady was still pleased: "Alright, alright, you two go back and talk things out. This old lady needs to rest."

The old lady was very satisfied as she watched Lu Jihan help Shen Qinghe walk away.

Granny Kang said, "Madam, don't worry. Look how much the young marquis likes Qinghe! Both of them are healthy, so they'll definitely have children soon."

The old lady nodded, "Yes, it's rare to see Ji Han so attentive to any woman. Since Ji Han truly cares for her, let's make her a concubine after Qing He becomes pregnant! That way, even outside, she can rightfully serve him."
