After returning to the east courtyard, Jiang Zuiyao was thinking about Shao Heng. That child was pitiful, but there was Shao Zifeng standing in the way, and she was afraid there was nothing she could do.

Li Yan asked someone to bring herbal tea, melons and fruits, and reported: "Master, the eldest young master is back."

When Jiang Zuiyao heard that Shao Ziqing was back, her expression immediately changed. Now that she was going to develop an antidote, it was when she needed Shao Ziqing that she asked, "Where are the others?"

Li Yan replied: "I came back at midnight yesterday, and left after meeting my wife and master in the morning."

She came back at midnight yesterday, why didn't she know?

Jiang Zuiyao didn't pay much attention and hurriedly asked: "Do you know where he went?"

Such a question made Li Yan hesitate and dare not reply. Jiang Zuiyao said anxiously: "If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide it from me."

Li Yan pursed his lips and replied in a low voice without confidence: "I heard that the young master went to Yichun Courtyard."

Yichunyuan...a very familiar place.

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Zuiyao finally remembered, isn't Yichun Courtyard a place of fireworks?

Immediately, Li Yan said again: "Furthermore, please stop, the young master has already returned to Beijing with the master and his wife on his back, and has been staying in Yichun Courtyard. I heard... I heard..."

It's really annoying to be so secretive. Jiang Zuiyao said coldly: "What else have you heard? Say it all at once!"

Li Yan said hurriedly: "The young master has a girl he likes in Yichun Courtyard, named He Wan'er, and he has been with her these days."

What?!

He, Shao Ziqing, had returned to Beijing a long time ago, even faster than her, but instead of returning to the mansion directly, he actually went to Yichun Courtyard to find He Wan'er?

It would be a lie if Jiang Zuiyao wasn't angry after hearing this, but she didn't say anything.

She had seen that He Wan'er before, it was not a fuel-saving lamp.

Looking at the sky outside, Jiang Zuiyao knew that even if she went to Yichun Courtyard and found Shao Ziqing, he might not come back with her. Besides, she, a woman, would be conspicuous when she went to a place with fireworks. According to Shao Ziqing,

Your temper, if you make a fuss, it will definitely lead to gossip.

I thought it would not be too late to make plans before hearing the news about Qin Nanxian's return to the palace.

The next day, news came from Qin Nanxian, who informed the Queen Mother that everything would be done as originally agreed.

But now that Shao Ziqing is not back, how can Jiang Zuiyao develop an antidote?

Linghui said at this time: "How about I go to Yichun Court to call the young master back?"

Such an idea was indeed simple. Jiang Zuiyao immediately asked: "What's the reason? Will he listen to you?"

Naturally, Linghui didn't have this ability, so she said: "I just said that the master has something urgent to do with the young master, so bring him back first."

Jiang Zuiyao chuckled and said, "This is the first day you know about Shao Ziqing's temper? What would he do if he knew you lied to him?"

Linghui shut up immediately. If she made Shao Ziqing angry, she would not end well.

The state affairs are top priority and cannot be delayed. Since we can't call Shao Ziqing, we have to use some means.

So, Jiang Zuiyao told Xijun: "Go for me and find a way to bring that He Wan'er to me."

Xijun responded and left quickly.

After half an hour, Xijun came back, and of course He Wan'er.

Seeing this charming woman again, Jiang Zuiyao's face was cold. Standing a few steps in front of her, she smelled a strong scent of rouge.

He Wan'er's sense of superiority came from nowhere, and she sat down uninvited with a look of arrogance.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't blame her. She sat on the soft couch, looked at He Wan'er who was dressed in a beautiful dress, and asked: "Looking at your expensive clothes, it seems that Shao Ziqing treats you very well."

He Wan'er showed off arrogantly: "Of course, the eldest young master treats me with great pity, I'm afraid it will chill my wife's heart."

Such words did not anger Jiang Zuiyao, she just smiled perfunctorily: "I called you here today because I wanted to ask something. Shao Ziqing has been back a long time ago, right?"

He Wan'er's charming eyes raised with pride: "Yes, the young master has been back for almost ten days, and I have been by his side. I heard that the lady has been out of the palace for a few days, so you have been left alone to guard the empty room."

Jiang Zuiyao asked nonchalantly: "You also know about my stay in the palace?"

He Wan'er thought Jiang Zuiyao was showing off, so she rolled her eyes disdainfully and said, "This matter has spread all over the city. Of course I know about it, but everyone knows that the eldest young master loves me."

Jiang Zuiyao met He Wan'er's eyes. She didn't know why Shao Ziqing wanted to spread this matter. Wasn't she afraid that Shao Jiang would find out and blame him?

Seeing Jiang Zuiyao's face change, He Wan'er thought she was angry, and said more and more openly: "If Madam doesn't believe it, go out and ask around. Who doesn't know that the only one the young master loves dearly is me, He Wan'er."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled indifferently, which surprised He Wan'er. She asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Jiang Zuiyao said contemptuously: "In this bustling capital, there are a lot of fallen flowers and willows like you. If Shao Ziqing loves you today, who will he love in the future?"

He Wan'er couldn't help being angry all of a sudden, and said angrily: "Don't you know how much the eldest young master hates you? Do you think the eldest young master is willing to let you be his wife?"

The herbal tea in her hand was no longer cold. Jiang Zuiyao put the tea cup down and said calmly: "Even if the eldest young master dislikes me, he will not do anything to me because of you. I am the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and now I have

The Queen Mother respects me, do you think Shao Ziqing will divorce me for a humble body like you? Oh, I'm afraid your dream of becoming the wife of the Shao family will be shattered."

Jiang Zuiyao hoped that Shao Ziqing would divorce her, but in front of He Wan'er, she had to say so, otherwise it would be too shameful.

Jiang Zuiyao's words were like a sharp knife, piercing He Wan'er's heart with every word, making He Wan'er extremely angry. She wanted to suppress Jiang Zuiyao's arrogance, and even wanted to show off her power in front of Jiang Zuiyao, but Jiang Zuiyao refused to eat her.

This set of tactics made her very angry at Jiang Zuiyao.

Seeing He Wan'er like this, Jiang Zuiyao smiled even more superiorly: "I really looked up to you. I thought you were capable of something, but it turns out it's nothing more than that. Don't even think about it. At least I have Shao Ziqing's child in my belly."

My child, with my current status, can you shake me? It’s really just wishful thinking.”

He Wan'er couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and shouted: "Do you think it's great that you are pregnant with the eldest young master's child? I am also pregnant with the eldest young master's child."

!!

One sentence was enough to surprise Jiang Zuiyao. She looked at He Wan'er's flat belly and questioned: "Didn't you say that Shao Ziqing only came back for ten days? How did you get pregnant?"

He Wan'er said coldly: "The young master has only been back for ten days, but that doesn't mean he has never been back before."

Jiang Zuiyao frowned slightly. Could it be that Shao Ziqing had come back from Beizhuang before?
