Chapter 231 - ”A surprise” (2)
That's good? How could he say that? Qian Lianxue's eyes slightly widened, but she was afraid of committing a gaffe, so she hurriedly lowered her head and quietly coughed.
It was impossible for Marquis Moyu to not know that if she was demoted to an ordinary concubine, some of her servants would be reassigned to other work. She would even have to move to another courtyard. How could he allow this?
She silently reflected on her past actions. Her work had been watertight. She had done so much, but no one could tell for sure that she had been the one responsible. She had done her best for her masters. One by one, she had accomplished the tasks they had given her. Although she had encountered Nie Sangyu, this unyielding iron plate, she still had ways to deal with her and hadn't been worried. But, why was she suddenly unable to understand what Marquis Moyu was thinking?

After Qian Lianxue was demoted, Ji Man personally selected half of her loyal servants and reassigned them to Feiwan Courtyard and Muxu's Wenxiang Courtyard. However, Old Madame felt sympathetic about Qian Lianxue's poor health and said that she didn't need to move to another courtyard. Although she ended up not having to move, her lifestyle standards were reduced and not as good as before.
Looking at Qian Lianxue's slightly stiff face, Ji Man faintly smiled and said, ”It doesn't matter. Young sister Lianxue, there's still plenty of time.”

Liu Hanyun would soon be giving birth, but such a bloody event had recently occurred in the household. This was really unlucky.She left her courtyard and went to Old Madame's praying hall to ask Buddha to protect her unborn baby. She happened to meet Wen Wan, who had also come here to pray to Buddha.
Wen Wan's belly was smaller than Liu Hanyun's, but it wasn't that much smaller. Although Liu Hanyun was now an honored concubine and Wen Wan was only a servant, Liu Hanyun still saluted Wen Wan out of habit.
Kneeling on the neighboring praying mat, Wen Wan asked her, ”Mistress Yun, you're going to be giving birth soon, right? Why did you come out?”
Liu Hanyun slightly smiled. ”Bad things have happened in the estate. Didn't you come here to pray to Buddha for protection and safety too?”
Wen Wan curved the corners of her lips into a smile. ”Since that woman became Madam, haven't things been constantly happening in this household without a break? Today, a person burns to death. Tomorrow, a person dies from poisonous snake bites. It really makes my heart feel unsettled.”
Liu Hanyun respectfully bowed towards the Buddha statue, then she said, ”If you haven't done anything wrong, you won't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If there's no blood on your hands, nothing will come by sniffing.”
Wen Wan mockingly laughed. ”What do I have to feel guilty about? Haven't I already fallen to such a lowly state? This proves that only ruthless people can survive in this household.”
Looking at Wen Wan's slightly sinister face from the side, Liu Hanyun opened her mouth, but ended up closing it without saying a word. She felt a sudden wave of pain in her belly.It felt as if she was about to give birth.
Sweat beaded on her forehead as Liu Hanyun gritted her teeth and called out, ”Chunpi.” While it was almost about time for her to give birth, it shouldn't have been today.
Chunpi had always been carefully watching over her master. Seeing her like this, she hurriedly called out, ”Help! Mistress Yun is about to give birth!”
