The fact that Nightingale had become Jiujiu's confidant was something that Jiujiu did not hide from the others. Although Nightingale was a maid on the surface like the others, because she always served by Jiujiu's side and Jiujiu gave her everything, over time, her status was much higher than the others.
Nightingale was not feeling well, so almost all the maids wanted to take advantage of Nightingale's absence to serve Jiujiu and gain Jiujiu's favor. But now that Nightingale had asked Chun Hua to serve her, although the others were not willing, they could only look at Chun Hua enviously as she walked into the room.
And Chun Hua was no exception.
That day when Jiujiu angered the First Madam and left, Chun Hua felt that Jiujiu was a brainless person. Relying on the fact that she was pregnant with Yi Xiao's child and had obtained Yi Xiao's favor, Chun Hua became undisciplined and out of control.
In Chun Hua's eyes, no matter how much Jiujiu was favored, she was at most a favored concubine. But the First Madam was different.
The First Madam was Yi Xiao's first wife. She was someone who would be buried in the ancestral grave in the future. As for Jiujiu, even if she was pregnant, so what? Whether she could give birth to the child was another matter.
Moreover, the child might not necessarily be Jiujiu's.
Chun Hua's heart was full of twists and turns. She liked to let her imagination run wild.
When she encountered Jiujiu's matter, she could not help but bring her own twists and turns. In her opinion, Yi Xiao was good to Jiujiu completely because of the child in Jiujiu's stomach. And Jiujiu's arrogance was also temporary.
However, Chun Hua's ultimate goal was to use Jiujiu to deal with Yi Xiao, so she did not think too much.
Although she didn't know why Nightingale wanted her to go in, it was always good to be close to Jiujiu. Spring Flower walked in with a smile on her face.
When Chun Hua entered, Jiujiu was holding a book in her hand. She was leaning against the headboard and reading it. When she heard Chun Hua enter, she put down the book in her hand and said, "You must be Chun Hua."
Hearing Jiujiu mention her, Chun Hua's heart skipped a beat. However, she still had a respectful expression on her face as she replied, "This servant is here."
Jiujiu wanted to get up, but Chun Hua hurriedly walked to Jiujiu's side and helped Jiujiu up.
Jiujiu took the opportunity to place her hand on Chun Hua's hand and said in a low voice, "I heard from Nightingale that you're very clever. Now that I've seen you today, it's indeed true. In the future, Nightingale won't be by your side to serve you."
Chun Hua didn't expect Jiujiu to call her over for this matter. She was instantly overjoyed and said a series of nice words, "This servant will definitely not disappoint Madam's grace. I'm willing to serve Madam. "
Chun Hua's words were very sincere, as if they came from the bottom of her heart. However, Jiujiu, who thought she was Chun Hua, couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.
At that time, Chun Hua also used this appearance to deceive Hu Mei. Hu Mei believed Chun Hua wholeheartedly and didn't even check the medicine that Chun Hua gave her. She only used it. However, if it wasn't for Yi Xiao, her little life would have been taken away by Chun Hua.
The reason why Hu Mei committed suicide was mostly because Chun Hua, who she believed in, hurt her the most.
However, Hu Mei couldn't blame others for her own stupidity. However, Hu Mei's stupidity couldn't cover up Chun Hua's vicious heart.
Jiujiu didn't respond to Chun Hua's words of loyalty. She only pursed her lips and smiled.
At night, Yi Xiao finally finished his work for the past few days. He originally wanted to look for Jiujiu, but who would have thought that when he reached the residence, he would be stopped by the Eldest Madam who had been guarding the door.
Yi Xiao and the Eldest Madam had been husband and wife for so many years. Although the Eldest Madam's appearance was long gone and the two of them didn't love each other anymore, there was still affection. Now that the Eldest Madam personally came to look for him, Yi Xiao still gave her face and went to the Eldest Madam's place.
Yi Xiao had just entered when the Eldest Madam's maid served Yi Xiao's favorite tea and snacks. The Eldest Madam looked at Yi Xiao with a smile and said, "Marshal, this time I called you here to discuss about my younger sister taking in a concubine …"
"When did I say that I want to take in a concubine?" Yi Xiao tilted his head, his cold eyes carrying a hint of coldness and warning. The First Madam's face, which was originally full of smiles, turned pale and her lips trembled, "Then what does the Marshal mean?"
"Mei 'er is pregnant with my child. She will be a co-wife." Yi Xiao's eyes were still deep and quiet, but the Eldest Madam saw a hint of warmth in them.
If it could be said that her face had lost all color just now, then at this moment, her expression was incomparably ugly. The Eldest Madam felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart. However, in front of Yi Xiao, she still had to pretend to be calm to maintain her face.
Although the Eldest Madam wanted to stab Jiujiu to death in her heart, she still had a smile on her face and said, "This concubine didn't think it through. My younger sister is pregnant with Marshal's child. She is a hero of our family. This is something that should be done. This concubine will do it right away."
After the Eldest Madam finished speaking, she looked at Yi Xiao with hope in her eyes, "It's getting late now. Why don't you rest here tonight?"
Yi Xiao stood up and said in a flat tone, "No need. I still have something to do. You sleep first."
After Yi Xiao finished speaking, he walked away.
Looking at Yi Xiao's back that didn't even look back, the Eldest Madam's face was almost completely black. Her lowered hands clenched into fists. Her teeth bit her lower lip and she took a deep breath. However, she still couldn't calm the anger in her heart. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "That b * tch."
The Eldest Madam's maidservant came over and whispered an idea, "Madam, maybe Marshal really has something to do. You and Marshal have been husband and wife for more than ten years. Marshal still misses you the most in his heart."
The Eldest Madam's face was gloomy. She snorted coldly, "What do you know?"
After being reprimanded by the Eldest Madam, the maidservant's face instantly turned pale. She stood behind the Eldest Madam and didn't dare to make a sound.
Because the Eldest Madam and Yi Xiao had been husband and wife for more than ten years, she knew exactly what Yi Xiao was thinking. If it was really because he had something to do, he would have rejected her from the beginning instead of waiting until now. He didn't have anything to do. He clearly missed that little b * tch.
The Eldest Madam gritted her teeth. She had really underestimated that little b * tch. She originally thought that he would at most take in a concubine. Who knew that Yi Xiao would actually do this for her? Not only did he listen to that little b * tch's words, he even took her parents from that small fishing village and raised them well. Now, he even wanted to raise that little b * tch to a second wife.
She was clearly a little b * tch from a small fishing village. How could she be on an equal footing with her? When she thought of Jiujiu's words that she was willing to share her worries that day, the Eldest Madam's heart ached even more.
After coming out of the Eldest Madam's room, Yi Xiao walked towards Jiujiu's room without any delay.
However, he didn't expect to see Jiujiu standing at the door as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Seeing Yi Xiao come in, Jiujiu immediately revealed a brilliant smile. She quickly walked in front of Yi Xiao and held Yi Xiao's hand. She raised her head and looked into Yi Xiao's eyes as she said, "Great Marshal, you're here."
Because of the good food and drink during this time, Jiujiu had unnoticeably gained a few pounds. Although it couldn't be seen on her body, her originally childish little face was full of baby fat. Especially when she smiled, the small dimples on both sides of her mouth were particularly obvious.
