Xiao Ye didn't know how he left Fenghuayuan. The servants kneeling all over the ground in the yard were so scared that their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to say a word. When the third lady came, they were not allowed to spread it. Now they could hear the fifth lady clearly, and the third lady heard it all into her ears, and she must be very sad.

In fact, for these servants, they were the same as Bai Huayan's mind, and did not like the third wife as the mistress. Because the third wife was once a concubine and a concubine daughter of the Ye family, such a mistress was really not grand enough. After all, the concubine daughter's pattern was not big enough. Even if the second wife was just pretending to be fake, she would have maintained the Duke Wen's Mansion very well on the surface and would never make mistakes at a glance.

But Xiao Ye's family is different.

The concubine's daughter is stingy and cannot control the public account, so the servants who serve the third wife and the fifth lady almost cannot get rewards except for the monthly silver. Who would like to follow the master who has no money?

Not only the servants of Fenghuayuan have this idea. It can be said that in Duke Wen's mansion, except for the second lady Nianxi courtyard, the second lady's Nianxi courtyard, the fourth lady's Yinxia courtyard, and the old lady's Jinrong courtyard, the slaves in other courtyards are living a very hard life. For example, the silver is limited. As slaves, they actually rely on the rewards of their masters to save some family fortune. Now they can't afford the rewards. How can they get the money? Who would like to live a life without oil?

Xiao Ye returned to her room exhausted, with her stomach covered with energy. The maid who followed her to Fenghuayuan was Shuanghuan. Seeing that her master looked like this, she could only persuade her kindly: "Madam, the fifth lady is still young, she is not sensible, and she can't see many things clearly. You have to teach her well."

Xiao Ye half leaned on the bed, and a servant brought in a bowl of chicken soup into the house. Shuanghuan took the chicken soup and fed her a few sips. Xiao Ye waved his hand and stopped drinking it. Shuanghuan advised again: "No matter what, your body is still important. Even if the lady is angry with Miss No. 5, she must take care of the fetus in her belly. I said something unpleasant. If Miss No. 5 really doesn't have the same heart as you, won't you still have to tie it to this child in the future! So the most important thing at the moment is to protect him, and the others are secondary."

Xiao Ye looked at the bowl of soup in front of him, with disgust: "I remember when Hong Shi was pregnant with young master, she used blood swallows tonic every day. Even when I was pregnant with flowery faces, I could use white swallows once every ten or eight days, and I could get donkey-hide gelatin after three months. But look, now, they only give me chicken soup, not even black chickens. I am now the mistress of a generation of Marquis' Mansion. Wouldn't this mean to make people laugh to death if I tell you something like this? Where should I put my face?"

She was angry as she said this, and her body was falling apart. Shuanghuan was so scared that she quickly pressed her hand and said hurriedly: "Madam, don't be angry. If you hurt this child, you will not be able to live such a life now in the future. Do you still want to live like that in the past? You finally climbed to this position, may you be beaten back to the prototype because of your sudden anger?"

Xiao Ye's heart skipped a beat. Yes, why did she forget that she could not compare to her sister. Da Ye is the legitimate daughter of the Ye family and the niece of the old empress dowager. Her affection and status are different. What does she rely on now to become a leader? It depends on the Ye family that thinks she is a ready-made candidate and can be used directly. But if she is not good enough, the Ye family can change people at any time. There are so many daughters in the Ye family and so many young and beautiful. It is not that she can't send one or two to the Bai family.

What can she rely on? Is the support of her mother's clan? Is her husband's favor? No, she can rely on only the child in her belly. If she can make a boy in this child, she can truly gain a foothold in this mansion, and the Ye family will also think that she is more useful. Replacing Bai Haochen of the Duan family with a child can better hold Bai Xingyan's heart and be more legitimate.

"Shuanghuan." Xiao Ye took the chicken soup and drank it all in one go. "You said, why did the Ye family have to slap the Bai family? It used to be for the hereditary title of Duke Wen, but what about now? Although the title is still there, it is impossible to be hereditary again. What else does the Ye family want to slap the Bai family? Why do they still see Duke Wen?"

This is something she has always been confused about. Just as she said, it makes sense for hereditary title in the past. But now? For the sake of Bai Xingyan? How is it possible? The Ye family is not a fool. Can't they tell that Bai Xingyan is so serious? What can Bai Xingyan do for the Ye family now?

Shuanghuan shook his head at this, "I am just a maid, how much knowledge can I have? Third Madam, how can I see through it? How can I see through it? But I think that since the Ye family has not given up even though they know that the Bai family has lost the hereditary system of titles, it means that the Duke Wen's Mansion is definitely useful. It's just that the Ye family knows this, we don't know it. So what we can do now is to cooperate with the family to hold the Duke's Mansion tightly in our hands. As for the others, it is not something we can worry about."

Xiao Ye nodded and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I am a concubine of the Ye family. Although the Ye family is my mother, I am not qualified to ask what my mother is thinking. I can only follow their requirements and follow them step by step. I have to do whatever I want, and I can't do whatever I don't let me do. I don't care about these things. What I care about is that my biological daughter is the same as others and regards others as mothers, but in turn tramples on all my care."

When Xiao Ye was so angry that he began to tremble again. Shuanghuan sighed, "Madam, you are excited again."

Xiao Ye waved her hand, and she said nothing more, and she adjusted her emotions. She could not get angry or hurt the child in her belly. Shuanghuan was right, this child was her real hope. As for Bai Huayan, it was useless. If she didn't keep her around since she was a child, she could not be said to be centrifugal because her heart had never been in harmony.

"Actually, the lady doesn't have to think of Miss Five so badly. She is just that temper. She always says anything when she gets angry, but in fact she is unintentional. Maybe she will forget it tomorrow morning, Miss Five doesn't have so much scheming."

But Xiao Ye shook his head, "People can hide. How can you conclude that the morning was not a bitter trick she deliberately played? She wanted to drag me into the water, kick off the mistress position, and then invite her mother whom she longed for. Shuanghuan, this is her hidden side, and she hid her unpredictable appearance on weekdays. People are like this, just like you..." She suddenly glared at Shuanghuan, her voice became gloomy, "You have been with my sister for so many years. Did she ever think that one day you would betray me? Did you ever think that you immediately turned against me after she lost power, and helped me to speed up the loss of power?"

Faced with such a question, Shuanghuan was not angry, and she was not even surprised. She just told Xiao Ye: "The third lady is a smart person. I never thought that you would accept me without any private information, nor did I expect you to be heartbroken to me. Yes, after the second lady lost power, I made a choice, came to you, and became your slave. But I did not betray, because I have never been her slave, I am a slave of the Ye family, and everything I did was for the Ye family. You are also a member of the Ye family, and I followed the wishes of the master and made a new choice. What's wrong with this?"

Xiao Ye was calm and nodded, "Indeed, you did not betray, you were loyal to the Ye family. But what if I lose power one day? Will you also put down the blame on me? But at that time, who else can you choose?"

Shuanghuan smiled, "Three Madam, if there really is one day, I will naturally obey the instructions of the Ye family and then serve the next master. And the next master, I believe that the next master will definitely be a member of the Ye family."

Xiao Ye stopped talking. Yes, she was thinking about this just now, why did she forget it now?

There are still alternatives in the Ye family. If her generation is gone, there will be a next generation. Countless fresh blood is transported in, and it will continue to flow until they achieve their goal and until the last little use of the Bai family is squeezed out.

Although she didn't know what the so-called value of utilization was, she understood that based on the current situation, only by protecting Bai Xingyan could she protect herself. As for the Ye family, obedience was not done by smart people. She did not get the benefits of her sister, Da Ye, and she did not have the queen mother as her backer, so her fate was not to be tied to the Ye family closely.

On the contrary, if she could get rid of the control of the Ye family, she could sit down as the mistress with her own mind and means and the child in her belly. There was no doubt that she had to choose the latter between the Ye family's concubine and the mistress of the Wenguo Duke's Mansion.

Xiao Ye thought that now that the concubines in the future are thin, it is time to fill Bai Xingyan's family with more family members. However, the new concubines must not have any relationship with the Ye family and the Guo family. The most important thing is that the newcomer must be in her hands.

That night, Bai Heran did not sleep well and didn't feel much. She missed Jun Mulin very much. She had only been apart for a few hours, but she began to regret driving the person away and not letting him enter the house in the middle of the night to disturb her good dreams.

She also felt sorry for Bai Zhengyan. She had a good life, but she lived like this now. She was clearly a good family, but she lived like this now. She didn't know what mistake Bai Xingyan made back then, but if it weren't for the mistake that was originally, would everything be different?
