Since Yuenniang entered Qingfengpu, Qinlang's face changed daily, quite colorful. However, someone's days were spent more comfortably, and that person was Qin Ergou's sworn sister, Qin Miao.

  These days, Moon Daughter accepted Qin Miao's invitation and stayed at the Hou Mansion for a short while, taking the opportunity to hone her embroidery skills and polish the embroidered products for the next season.

  As soon as they entered the Hou Mansion, Yueliang couldn't help but repeatedly praise Qin Miaoniang for being a lucky person. "Tsk tsk tsk, I say, how did you manage to be born with such good fortune?"

  Looking back at myself, I've been in this world for over three years. The borderlands are desolate and harsh, with a strong preference for boys over girls. If not for my medical skills and embroidery techniques, as just a weak woman, I fear it would be difficult to survive in this world for long.

  Qin Miao saw her with a face full of envy and lightly laughed to tease: "Or else, why don't we swap?"

  The speaker is insincere, and the listener is even more so. Yueniang hastily waved her hand: "No, no, no, I'm afraid this blessing will only make me thinner."

  "How could it be? You look down on the position of Military Marquis's wife. Could it be that you want to enter the palace as a concubine?"

  "Come on... With the emperor's moral character, at his age, he still holds a selection of beauties every three years and sends people to search for beautiful women in the countryside every now and then. Tsk tsk tsk... Typical gluttony...” Yueliang said with disdain, but was quickly covered by Qin Miao.

  "You're really bold, even daring to manipulate the one in the palace. Watch out for your head!"

  Although Qin Miao was already familiar with Yue Niang's straightforward speech, she still occasionally came out with some words and phrases that she couldn't understand. Even if she appreciated them, she didn't dare to provoke trouble for herself.

  The moon goddess stuck out her tongue and apologized profusely, "Sorry sorry, I just can't help but mock this kind of scumbag who has three wives and four concubines, changing his mind as easily as the wind. Hehehe..."

  "Rubbish man? Spit it out?" Qin Miao felt that she had never heard this phrase before. "Is this another dialect from your hometown?"

  The moon goddess touched her nose and replied repeatedly, "Ah ah ah, it's dialect. This scumbag is what you often call a heartless man, a hypocrite. This ranting is... pouring out grievances, get it?"

  Qin Miao nodded, thinking that this person was indeed interesting. The two were chatting with great enthusiasm when a woman walked towards them from the front, followed by many maidservants, looking very majestic.

  "Qin Xiang has seen the lady!"

  Qin Miao's heart surged with that familiar feeling as soon as he saw her, but his expression remained calm. "Now that you're pregnant, rest well in the Rainy Dew Pavilion and don't run around unnecessarily."

  Xin Xiang originally had her eyes downcast, but at this moment she suddenly looked up and met Qin Miao's gaze, a hint of unusualness flashing in her eyes. Soon, however, this unusualness was again covered by her usual humility and warmth.

  "Thank you for your concern, Mrs. The doctor said that pregnant women need to walk more to keep the baby healthy." She intentionally emphasized the words "pregnancy" and "baby", occasionally glancing at Qin Miao's expression.

  As expected, Qin Miao couldn't help but furrow her brow again. Xing Xiang lowered her head and sighed quietly, you'll just have to wait then.

  Yue Niang, who was standing beside them, didn't recognize the woman claiming to be pregnant in front of her, but seeing Qin Miao's expression wasn't right, she pulled on her sleeve, hinting for her to leave.

  "Anu, it's getting late, let's hurry back and finish the remaining embroidery."

  Qin Miao was holding back her breath, unable to let go of her feelings, especially when she saw Xingxiang occasionally stroking her flat stomach, which made her even more indignant. Yueliang hurriedly pulled her away, thinking that the women in this era really didn't have a big heart either.

  As the two passed by Xiangxiang, she suddenly fell to one side without warning. The maid attending her was frightened and rushed forward to help, but Xiangxiang repeatedly pushed her away.

  The moon was already on the inside, seeing that woman swaying and about to fall towards Qin Miao's side, she had guessed seven or eight.

  Childish tricks!

  She stepped forward and blocked Xiang's path, firmly grasping the other person's arm and pinching it hard.

  "Hey, you're walking all over the place, why don't you just stop messing around and go back to hiding?"

  Qin Xiang had already been held up by the maid, but because the plan fell through and the frame-up didn't succeed, she was so resentful in her heart. However, on the surface, she still looked terrified and pretended to be wronged, saying: "Madam, why are you doing this? Why do you want to push me?"

  Just now, everyone was still in shock over the sudden collapse of the Xiangxiang being smashed, when suddenly this out-of-nowhere accusation was heard, and everything turned gloomy. This woman is really something, having gained an advantage yet still pretending to be clever. If I endure any more, I won't believe in Qin!

  She was about to go forward to defend herself, but was pulled back by Yueniang. She also gave her a look, saying "What's the hurry?"

  "This girl, you yourself are unstable, almost harmed your own child, and hastily want to find someone to take the blame. This...can be understood. However, you also can't just bite people at random."

  She swaggered around with her hands on her hips, surrounding Xiangxiang and the others. "Tsk tsk tsk, you're really stupid, just your height, wanting to frame the lady, you should get closer to her. From so far away, even your fingers can't reach. Could it be...?" She took a step closer, leaning in close to Xiangxiang, "Could it be that your plan went wrong and you changed tactics at the last minute? Tsk tsk tsk, indeed a foolish one."

  She was scolded by her for being too nosy, and her face turned pale with fright: "What are you yelling about...?"

  "What's with the gloominess? You miscalculated the distance, and now you're taking it out on others. It's like a mad dog biting people! With your level of skill, you're still a bit off. Don't you see that this kind of trick is already outdated?"

  "You!"

  "What's wrong with you! I bet you're dying to yell 'my stomach hurts' or just faint on the spot. When someone asks, just say that your wife stirred up your fetal energy." Moon Lady snorted, her face full of disdain. "You, spare me. Look at how energetic you are now, still arguing with me and talking nonsense - you're doing great!"

  "Alright, let's go! I'm dying of thirst. Anu, let's go!" Yueniang dragged Qin Miao away without even looking back, leaving Xianxiang stomping her feet in anger.

  Back at Chao Lu Yuan, Qin Miao was still savoring what had just happened. "Yue Niang, how did you know she did it on purpose?"

  The moon daughter sat cross-legged on the couch, sipping tea with a "tingling" sound. "You, this is called being muddled by one's own affairs. But it's not your fault for being slow-witted, calculating and making money is indeed a good skill. However, when it comes to vying for favor and fighting in the house, I think you still need to cultivate yourself well!"

  "Home Fight?"

  The moon goddess put down the cup in her hand, with a serious and mysterious look: "Where there are women, there is Jianghu; where there is Jianghu, there is contention. Where do you think there are the most women? First, it's the brothel; second, it's the imperial harem. So, one must fight. Without fighting, there's no future..."

  Qin Miao was momentarily speechless.

  "Let's talk about what happened today. That Xiang, don't think too much evil thoughts. I originally wanted to provoke you with words, but you didn't take the bait, so she directly took action. Fortunately, you had a noble person helping you, and you avoided this disaster."

  The moon goddess stroked her chin with a pretentious air, but soon lost interest and dropped her hand, after all, she didn't have a long beard.

  Qin Miao found it interesting. With her coming like this, the unpleasantness that had just arisen from Xing Xiang was no longer a concern.

  "What's this Xiangqin person?" Along the way, Yuenuan had been wanting to know, but hadn't had a chance to ask earlier.

  Qin's hand paused for a moment, and she slowly let out a breath. "She is carrying the young master's child."

  "What?! Nani, no wonder she's so arrogant, it turns out she's just a timid and cowardly concubine. In this era, women have no status, whether they're married or taken in, even if they're stolen, they're only used for temporary pleasure or to carry on the family line. Now, Moon Lady can't help but feel some sympathy for Qin Miao, after all, the lady of the Hou Mansion is just the same..."

  Qin Miao saw her frowning, with a look of sympathy in her eyes.

  "Why are you staring at me like that? Pity me?"
