With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

Chapter 690 The Duke’s Mansion

Without saying anything more, Xiao Chengxi walked quickly towards the side room in the courtyard with the money in his arms.

Mother Zhu quickly followed him and explained, "My Lord, the old lady said that it would be bad luck if Madam gave birth to a stillborn baby."

"She is bringing disaster to the Duke's Mansion. She wants to beat the Madam to death and turn the young master into ashes to end the disaster for the Duke's Mansion."

Xiao Chengxi had a stern face and didn't say much. Qian Qian also had a stern face and tightly grasped the hidden weapon in his hand again.

"Lin Qianyue," just as he stepped into the side courtyard, he heard a sharp and old voice, "You lowly scoundrel."

"However, a lowly servant in the mansion actually climbed into the prince's bed and now even dreams of becoming the mistress of the Duke's mansion."

"You, you are really rebelling against Tian Gang. Lin Qianyue, why don't you come out? If you give birth to a stillborn baby, you will bring disaster to the Duke's Mansion."

"When the Duke comes back, you will have a hard time..."

Xiao Chengxi carried the money into the side yard, which was no longer pitch dark as before.

Lanterns were lit all over the corridors, and the small courtyard was illuminated as if it were daytime.

The bodies of the slaves that were originally lying in a pool of blood on the ground were gone, and there was not even much smell of blood around.

Qian Qian raised an eyebrow and looked at his father, and Xiao Chengxi met his daughter's eyes.

Seeing her swollen cheeks, I was so angry that I wanted to kill someone, and I did just that.

With a wave of his hand, the long sword in his hand flew out and pierced straight into the heart of the screaming old woman.

The shouting and cursing stopped abruptly, and the small courtyard was quiet for a moment.

"Ah," a woman's scream broke the silence, "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng, you are crazy."

Qian Qian tilted his head and said, "Well, my father's name here in this life is Xiao Cheng."

Xiao Cheng smiled at his daughter and looked at Old Madam Xiao with cold eyes, "Mother has always valued etiquette and followed the rules, how could there be such a wicked servant around her?"

"Someone is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, three young men in black jumped down from the roof.

The boys knelt on one knee and bowed to him. Xiao Cheng nodded and said, "Clean it up."

"Yes."

Old Madam Xiao was terrified. She watched helplessly as the three young men in black dragged her trusted wife away like a dead fish.

He took several deep breaths to calm his mind, and after a long time he mustered the courage to look at Xiao Cheng.

This evil creature still had that calm and charming look that captivated everyone. Old Madam Xiao's heart trembled.

Seeing that the dead girl who had just taken the pill was actually held in Xiao Cheng's arms, she pointed at Qian Qian with shaking fingers.

"you you,"

Qian Qian's eyes turned and he took out the pill, "My Lord, this is what the old lady gave me just now."

Xiao Cheng did not take the pill, and gently said to Qian Qian, "Keep this thing for now. By the way, why are you calling me Prince?"

He chuckled, "Call me daddy."

Money money...

"Dad, I want to go see my mother and brother."

Old Madam Xiao was so stimulated by the scene before her that she gritted her teeth. When she heard the little whore say the word "brother", her eyes went dark and she could hardly stand.

"Dad," Qian Qian glanced at Old Madam Xiao, "Can you die?"

"No," Xiao Cheng thought of his father who was out doing disaster relief work, "but I can't do that if I get sick."

Qian Qian felt a little regretful, "Okay."

He came out of his father's arms and ran to his mother's ear room.

When passing by Madam Xiao, he shot several silver needles at her.

The silver needle sank into her body, and Madam Xiao finally couldn't hold on and fainted completely.

The servants became flustered and anxious, and Xiao Cheng's lips curled up dangerously.

"Someone come quickly, deliver this prince's note to invite the imperial physician."

He glanced at the several trusted old ladies around Madam Xiao, "These rats, who serve the old lady badly, should all be imprisoned."

The small courtyard fell silent again. Before the old maids could even open their mouths, several young men in black jumped down from the roof.

The boys all knelt on one knee and said, "Yes."

The old maids had no time to react before their mouths were gagged and they were dragged out of the courtyard.

Xiao Cheng ordered someone to send Old Madam Xiao back to her own courtyard, and then ordered someone to call the housekeeper.

After arranging all the affairs at home, Xiao Cheng stepped into the ear room.

Qianyue was holding Qianqian and talking at this time. The newborn baby was placed beside her and was sleeping soundly and peacefully.

Xiao Cheng sat on the edge of the bed and reached out his hand over Qian Qian to gently stroke Qian Yue's cheek.

Lin Qianyue smiled at him and signaled with her eyes, "There is bath water over there that I used. You smell of blood, go and take a shower."

Xiao Cheng understood immediately, looked at Qianyue with a smile and rubbed Qianqian's head, "Okay."

Qian Qian looked at her mother and said, "Mom, so the old lady Xiao just now is my father's stepmother?"

"She wanted her son to inherit the Duke's Mansion, so she took advantage of the old Duke's absence to attack you?"

"Yes," Lin Qianyue smiled, "I was originally a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official. My whole family was implicated because of my father's mistakes."

"She was sold to the Duke's Mansion and became a maid who cleaned the house."

"Wow," Qian Qian's eyes lit up, "Are you the maid's mistress?"

Lin Qianyue hugged Qianqian again and said with a smile, "Your father has figured out a way to rearrange my current identity."

"Otherwise, how could a maid like me become the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion who has made great military achievements?"

Qian Qian nodded, "Oh."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Mom, I want to find someone, a boy."

"He should be about my age. I don't know what he looks like, but maybe," he pointed to his forehead, "he has the same mark as me."

Lin Qianyue...

"what?"

Xiao Cheng...

Isn’t there a person with a mole between his eyebrows in their Duke’s Mansion?

He quickly got out of the bathtub and changed his clothes hastily.

"Qianqian, Dad will help you with this matter."

After looking at Qianyue, he opened the door and went out, Qianqian scratched his head in confusion.

"mother?"

Lin Qianyue sighed softly, "The child with the mole between his eyebrows is about the same age as you. He is your father's youngest half brother."

"When he was born, my aunt died of hemorrhage, and at the same time, the Duke was seriously injured in the battlefield and almost died."

"The old lady asked someone to tell fortunes, and she said that the child would bring bad luck to his relatives."

"The child was sent to a farm in the countryside to be raised. He is now ten years old."

She looked at Qian Qian in shock, "You said he is about the same age as you?"

"You are ten years old, then?"

Money money...

"Hehe, I, I don't remember."

Lin Qianyue...

"Oh," he sighed deeply, his heart breaking as he held Qianqian's small body.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

The door was opened.

Mother Zhu came in with a tray, smiling, "Madam, please have some chicken soup to nourish your body."

Gululu.

When Qianqian smelled the aroma of chicken soup, his stomach couldn't help but start to feel empty.

Lin Qianyue smiled and said, "Mother Zhu, take the child to eat something."

"Clean it up for her."

"Yes," Mother Zhu smiled happily, now she was no longer worried at all.

Madam Xiao was seriously ill and unconscious, and the Duke was out providing disaster relief and was not at home.

The prince has a strong hand, and those old stewards who acted arrogantly in the Duke's Mansion have been dealt with by the prince under his control.

After the Crown Prince's wife has finished her confinement, she will be the one to run the Duke's Mansion.

Oh, how frustrated I have been all these years.

Finally, this old slave breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Qian came out of her mother's arms and whispered in her ear, "Mom, Mother Zhu?"

Lin Qianyue nodded heavily at her, and Qianqian understood immediately.

He happily held Mother Zhu's hand, stuffed a red fruit into her mouth, and left the ear room happily.

Qian Qian was in a happy mood, but a young man in a farm outside the city was burning hot and dying.

"Wuwuwu, money, money, I'm going to lose it, you, where are you, come and save the one you love the most..."
