Rongguo Mansion, in Sister Feng's courtyard.

Hearing that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was alarmed. Some were happy, while others were cursing behind their backs. The second grandma had only been a housekeeper for less than two years, so many people were offended.

At about midnight, Aunt Xue came with her daughter Baochai to congratulate Wang Xifeng. It happened that sisters Li Wan, Baoyu and Sanchun were also gathered here. In addition to congratulating Sister Feng on her happiness, everyone talked about Lin Yun's wedding the most.

Wang Xifeng joked to Baoyu, "Baoyu, I heard from your second brother Lian that you were having a wedding party at the Lin Mansion last night and listened to the corner, but you were caught. Is this possible?"

Baoyu said sarcastically: "I didn't want to go at first, but Brother Xue insisted on dragging me there. As soon as we entered the yard, we were caught."

Aunt Xue: "It's nothing, the wedding night always needs to be noisy to make it lively."

Tan Chun smiled and said: "Second brother, you are not confused. How could you forget that Lin's brother has a highly skilled guard beside him?"

Baoyu said excitedly when he heard this: "The person who arrested us last night was not the guard around Brother Lin, but someone you all know."

Xichun hurriedly asked: "I know him too?"

"Well, you all know each other. The person who arrested us is the maid next to Sister Lin, the girl named Pearl."

"ah!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Almost all of them knew Zhenzhu. Even Aunt Xue and Baochai were also familiar with Zhenzhu. On the way to Beijing, Baochai was very seasick, and Lin Yun even asked Zhenzhu to nurse her body.

Aunt Xue: "I've seen that girl before. I only knew that she had good medical skills, but I didn't expect that she could actually do martial arts."

Xichun: "Sister Lin is really strict. She has such a powerful maid beside her, but she didn't even tell us all."

Baochai said from the side: "It must be that the Lin family brother forbade her from saying that Pearl is not sister Lin's maid."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I know, that Pearl should be Brother Yun's concubine."

Xichun was shocked: "Brother Lin still wants to take concubines? How many concubines is this?"

Baoyu said in a sour tone: "I heard that Brother Lin fell in love with an oiran in Jinling, but he fell in love with her and gave up on her. After playing with him, he no longer wanted her."

Tanchun: "No way, how could Brother Lin be such a person?"

Baoyu: "I heard what Brother Xue said. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Bao. She should know."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Baochai said hurriedly: "I don't know the details. I only know that Brother Lin redeemed his body for a courtesan, and then the girl disappeared."

After a pause, Baochai said again: "I don't think Brother Lin is someone who always gives up."

Wang Xifeng joked: "I guess Brother Lin was afraid of being scolded when he brought her back, so he built a golden house to hide the beauty."

Tanchun: "That's called the beauty hidden in the golden house."

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this.

…

At this moment, a little maid walked in through the curtain and reported to Wang Xifeng: "Second Grandma, someone came in from outside to deliver a letter, saying that Sister Ping'er is back."

Wang Xifeng stood up in surprise and asked eagerly: "Really?"

The little maid nodded and said, "That's what the boy outside said."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly walked out the door. Seeing this, Aunt Xue quickly reminded her: "Brother Feng, be careful."

…

Everyone followed Wang Xifeng outside the house and saw Ping'er walking over surrounded by maids and women.

As soon as they met, Ping'er would step forward and kowtow to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "You are no longer my maid, so you can no longer perform such a great gift."

Ping'er hurriedly said: "This slave will be grandma's maid for the rest of her life."

"Don't talk nonsense and make the sisters laugh."

Ping'er was shocked to realize that there were people next to her, and she quickly stepped forward to greet them one by one.

Baoyu looked at Pearl who was following Ping'er and asked in surprise: "Isn't she Sister Lin's maid? Why are you following Sister Ping'er?"

Ping'er: "Report to the second master, Pearl is not anyone's maid, she is our girl's guard. The third master knew that grandma was pregnant, so he asked me to bring her over to check grandma's health."

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "I guess Brother Feng has a lot of private things to say to Miss Ping'er, so let's all leave."

After hearing this, everyone bid farewell to Wang Xifeng. Baoyu looked at Pearl curiously, secretly wondering how such a delicate girl could have such high martial arts skills.

Tanchun tugged on Baoyu's sleeves and reminded: "Second brother, let's leave quickly."

"Oh well."

…

After everyone left, Wang Xifeng couldn't wait to pull Ping'er into the house.

Ping'er quickly supported her and persuaded her: "Grandma is pregnant now, so she can't be so arrogant anymore."

Wang Xifeng: “I’m already used to it, how can I change it for a while?”

Ping'er warned Feng'er and Xiaohong again: "You must always remind grandma to pay attention to your health and not be careless."

The two maids hurriedly responded: "Sister Ping'er, don't worry, I have all remembered it."

Wang Xifeng pulled Ping'er to sit down on the kang and joked to her: "We haven't seen you for a few days, but you are almost more powerful than me."

Ping'er said shyly: "I was taught by my grandma, how can I go beyond you?"

Wang Xifeng said with concern: "Your new grandma didn't make things difficult for you when she came in, right?"

Ping'er smiled and said: "The new grandma is very nice and is very polite to me. The third master said that from now on, I will manage the affairs of the house over there. Important matters will be reported to the new grandma."

After a pause, Ping'er said again: "Grandma, before I came, Third Master asked me to tell you that during pregnancy, you must not overwork yourself. When you can let go of some things, you must let go."

Wang Xifeng: "It's easy for him to say. If I let go now, there will be no chance for me to be a steward in the future."

Ping'er smiled and said: "The third master knew that grandma would definitely say this. He asked the servant to ask you, what will happen to you if you don't have an heir? How long can the old lady protect you?"

"This~"

Wang Xifeng frowned and thought for a moment, then complained to Ping'er: "Brother Yun is such a crow's mouth. He always says things I don't like to hear, but what he says is reasonable, so I can't refute him."

Ping'er smiled and said, "Our Third Master really cares about you and Second Master Lian. Have you ever seen him care so much about others?"

Wang Xifeng stretched out her hand and pinched Ping'er's face and said, "How much ecstasy soup did your third master pour into you to make you protect him like this?"

Ping'er said in shame and anger: "Grandma, don't bite Lu Dongbin. You don't know a good heart. I only care about you."

"Yes, then I would like to thank Aunt Ping!"

Just as Ping'er was about to retort, he saw Yuanyang walking in with Xiren, Hubo, Suyun and other maids.

She hurriedly stepped forward and greeted several people with a smile: "Are you all okay?"

Yuanyang joked to Ping'er, "Should I call you Miss Ping now? Or should I call you Aunt Ping?"

Hu Huo coaxed: "Of course I call you Aunt Ping. I don't think she is so favored in the mansion over there."

Ping'er said aggrievedly: "I came back after a long time, just to give you a few places for fun?"

Xi Ren: "How dare you? Third Master is so powerful, we don't dare to offend you now."

Yuanyang said with a smirk on his face: "That's right. If you piss off Aunt Ping, don't you think of Third Master coming over with a sword to kill some of us to vent his anger?"

When Ping'er saw that he couldn't help them, he turned back to Wang Xifeng and asked for help: "Grandma, please help me to judge. Are they going too far?"

Wang Xifeng touched her lower abdomen with her hand and said with a look of gloating: "I'm pregnant now, so I can't help you."

The maids couldn't stop laughing when they heard this, and they bullied Ping'er so much.

At this moment, Pearl stepped forward and scolded several people: "Second Grandma is pregnant and needs to be quiet. Please go out and make trouble."

Xiren said with a dark face: "How dare you, a little maid, pick on a few of us?"

Pearl: "I'm not a maid, I'm a doctor. Third Master asked me to come with Sister Ping'er to help Second Grandma take care of her body."

Amber smiled and said: "So what? We are afraid of Third Master, but we are not afraid of you."

"Yeah?"

Pearl raised her foot and kicked a stool, and heard a bang. The stool hit the wall and immediately broke into a pile of wood pieces.

She smiled at Amber and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Seeing this scene, Amber's face turned blue and white for a while, and she was speechless for a moment.

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Miss Pearl, they are joking with me, don't get me wrong."

Pearl: "If you want to make a joke, please go out and make trouble. Don't disturb me while I check Second Grandma's pulse."

Ping'er said awkwardly: "Okay, let's go out and chat, and you can take Second Grandma's pulse."

After saying that, she winked at Yuanyang and took the lead to walk out the door. Yuanyang, Xiren, Amber, and Suyun quickly followed.

After a few people left, Pearl came forward and sat at the kang table to take Wang Xifeng's pulse.

Wang Xifeng stretched out her right arm and looked at Zhenzhu curiously. She rolled her eyes, smiled at Zhenzhu and asked: "Miss Zhenzhu, how much money did your third master spend to invite you?"

Pearl frowned and said, "No money."

"Then you, a girl, have to spend money to buy things, right?"
