It was not easy for Jing Yi to enter.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Jing Yi, Sister Xiao didn’t lie.”

Jing Yi had been staying outside the courtyard and didn’t know what was going on in the house. He had come to see Su Xiaoxiao and accidentally bumped into Granny Nie carrying a baby over from the main courtyard.

The maidservants in the courtyard were all gone.

This was in line with their previous guess that the tanuki would replace the crown prince.

He immediately concluded that Granny Nie had switched the children.

“Is it true?”

Jing Yi asked.

“It is.” Su Xiaoxiao replied.

The matter had to start with the first time Su Xiaoxiao stopped Granny Nie.

“Granny, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Madam Ru placed ten pregnant women in the farm in the name of recruiting nannies. They are in the same stage of pregnancy. Just after she acted up this morning, the Madam of the Heavenly Jade Hall brought musk to the farm.” How could someone as smart as Granny Nie not guess the reason for this? “She must have a way to control Granny. If Granny believes me, I have a plan.”

Hearing this, Jing Yi seemed to understand. “Oh, it’s to let Granny Nie pretend to change. But what if both of you give birth to daughters?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Madam expected this situation earlier than us. After all, she’s the one who’s worried that she won’t be able to give birth to a son.”

Xiao Ruyan patted Jing Yi’s shoulder. “If it’s not a son, my mother-in-law will tell the outside world that she’s still pregnant. Then, she’ll have a ‘difficult labor’ for a day or two. It’s enough for Madam to go outside and bring a child back.”

Jing Yi was enlightened.

After a moment, he frowned in confusion. “Wait, doesn’t she look at her child after giving birth? She will know it after taking a look.”

Xiao Ruyan smiled and said, “Then don’t let her see it. It’s best if she takes the initiative not to see it. If she really wants to see it, just drug her. She will in a daze and can’t see it clearly either. After that, she’ll only say that it’s because her stamina is insufficient and won’t expose herself at all. We are beating her at her own game!”

Jing Yi nodded seriously.

Xiao Ruyan muttered in confusion, “But I’m very curious. What did Madam Ru use to threaten my mother-in-law? Would a person like my mother-in-law still have a weakness in the hands of others?”

Even someone as powerful as Wei Xu had his own weakness.

Her mother-in-law looked cold, but she kept her kindness in her heart.

Her weakness must be very painful.

After settling Madam Ru, Granny Nie came over to see Su Xiaoxiao.

She had something to say to Su Xiaoxiao alone.

Wei Ting stood up and went out, dragging Jing Yi, who was waiting in the outer room.

Baby Jing was dissatisfied. “Have you forgotten how powerful my fists are? You knelt down with one punch!”

Wei Ting was in a good mood and did not argue with his unfilial son.

Granny Nie came to the bed and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. “Don’t you regret it?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled weakly. “Why should I regret it? Didn’t you use this matter to take down Madam Ru? She already gave birth to a son. I can’t exchange my Xiaobao for her just to make her lose favor. I can’t bear to.”

Granny Nie said, “You could have negotiated a deal with me before reminding me.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why didn’t you negotiate a deal before delivering my child?”

Granny Nie was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “She won’t threaten bGranny again, right?”

Granny Nie said, “She can’t threaten me anymore.”

“That’s good.” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t ask what it was that could threaten Granny Ghost.

Granny Nie looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply. “Girl, I owe you a favor.”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and silently pulled the blanket over Wei Xiaobao.

Don’t, Granny. You delivered Wei Xiaobao, and I owe you a favor. We’re even… These words would never come out of her mouth!

Granny Nie looked at Wei Xiaobao and frowned.

She seemed to have forgotten about this just now…

Su Xiaoxiao immediately said solemnly, “You said you owed me! You’re not allowed to go back on your word!”

The good news of Madam Ru giving birth to a son quickly spread throughout Thousand Mountain Island.

Ji Minglou, who had been chased by the Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace for a day and night, also heard the heated discussion of the commoners.

He heaved a sigh of relief and adjusted his disheveled hairstyle. He said to the Palace Lord, “I don’t have the time to pester you endlessly. If you really want to fight, I’ll accompany you to the Heavenly Jade Hall another day!”

He thought that she would not compromise easily, but to his surprise, the Palace Lord sneered. ‘Who cares? Pfft!”

She left without looking back.

Ji Minglou frowned.

The Palace Lord didn’t know that her daughter-in-law had given birth for the time being, but since Madam Ru had given birth, it meant that his daughter-in-law was coming back.

She was going to pick up her daughter-in -law!

Hence, Ji Minglou finally got into his carriage and rushed to the City Lord Manor. On the way, his path was blocked by the Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage.

Ji Minglou clenched his fists. “Yun Shuang!”

The Palace Lord waved her fan leisurely.

Ling Yin looked at the Palace Lord who had been fighting for a day and night and didn’t care. She muttered softly,

“You really treat beauty like dirt.”

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting did not intend to stay in the City Lord Manor for long.

Firstly, she was not used to it. Secondly, she was guarding against the possibility that Madam Ru could not bear to part with her “daughter” and would coax the City Lord to order Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Xiaobao to stay.

Taking advantage of the fact that Madam Ru did not have the strength to cause trouble, she quickly returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace.

“Do you think she’ll discover it later?” Xiao Ruyan asked Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “In any case, we’ve achieved our goal. If she finds out, so be it. She’s the one who was tricked. However, she shouldn’t h

discover it so quickly. We can still fool her for a few more days. Ah, what can we do to control her?”

Xiao Ruyan muttered, “Why didn’t you become stupid for three years?!”

The Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the City Lord Manor.

“I want to go in.”

The Palace Lord said.

The guards did not dare to stop the Hundred Flower Palace’s Palace Lord, but the carriage could not enter.

The Palace Lord insisted on driving the carriage in.

“Report to your City Lord that the Hundred Flowers Palace’s phoenix is sick. I’m here to bring Granny Nie to the Hundred Flowers Palace to treat the phoenix!” If she let her daughter-in-law take a step forward, she would lose!

The guard could only go to the Jade Pavilion to report the truth to the City Lord.

The City Lord was in a good mood after obtaining his son. “Do as she says.”

The Hundred Flowers Palace’s carriage went unimpeded to the side door of the Jade Pavilion.

Wei Ting carried Su Xiaoxiao out in a thick cloak.

The Palace Lord’s expression changed. “What’s wrong with Xiaoxiao? Is she going to give birth? Hurry up! Return to the Hundred Flowers Palace!”

Wei Ting did not move.

For the first time, the Palace Lord said sternly to her son, “Young brat, what are you waiting for?”

Wei Ting finally couldn’t help but smile proudly. If not for his ears, the corners of his mouth would have reached the back of his head.

“You’re smiling foolishly…”

Halfway through his sentence, the Palace Lord realized something and hurriedly walked behind her son.

Xiao Ruyan was hugging a swaddling cloth and smiling silently.

The Palace Lord was so shocked that her eyes widened. “This, this is…”

Xiao Ruyan smiled gently. “Palace Lord, do you want to carry her?”

“Yes, yes! Yes!”

The Palace Lord was extremely excited. She reached out to hug her, but she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to do it well. Her arms were stiff.

Ah, ah, what to do? What to do?

Xiao Ruyan gently placed Wei Xiaobao into the Palace Lord’s arms.

The Palace Lord suddenly hugged the child tightly.

Looking at the little fellow sleeping soundly in her arms, her rock-hard heart softened..
